Chapter 294 Feels A Bit Lacking
Keep those from one side of the Border, on that side of the Border.
The Krishrens immediately turned their gazes towards Ani.
The others might have defeated a couple of Krishrens, but that wasn\'t enough to pull their attention completely.
A bigger threat had appeared.
A threat that couldn\'t be left to roam freely.
A threat that couldn\'t be allowed to cross the Border.
\'But that doesn\'t mean they\'ll forget about me. But if she is their main target then...\'
At the same time, four tentacles were swung towards the Commander, each coming from a different direction.
Mark, immediately seeing that as an opportunity, jumped up into the air so as to hide from the Commander behind one of those approaching tentacles.
"So you can think at least."
With the tentacle hiding its actions, the white-scaled Monster brought its hands together.
[You have developed a new Magic Skill!]
[You have developed the Magic Skill "Scorching Ray[B]"!]
\'Ah!\' Mark chuckled internally as he prepared to fire the attack. \'That took a while. Controlling it is a lot easier now!\'
The ray of compressed flames was shot and flew in a straight line.
Just an instant before the tentacle could collide with the Commander\'s body, it was pierced by the attack.
\'Fast. She managed to dodge after it pierced it... Could she sense it coming or...?\' The white-scaled Monster asked itself as it landed back on the ground. \'Let\'s try this then.\'
Mark spread his arms to the side, and half a dozen Ice Spikes were formed in the air around him.
They weren\'t shot instantly though.
He waited for the Krishren which seemed to have eyes only for the Commander to start shooting its stream of compressed water.
Another important moment for Mark.
If even that she could stop with her bare hands then...
Ani moved.
\'Between the tentacles\' strength and the stream...\' Mark launched the Ice Spikes towards the Commander. \'She can stop one but not the other? Too early to assume that.\'
Ani had clenched her fist, ready to turn those Ice Spikes into ice dust. But before those Ice Spikes could into range, they stopped and instantly exploded.
Surprised, but not worried, she stood as small particles of Frost deposited themselves on her body.
Coming all this way for this? It feels a bit...
\'Not aiming to get closer to an enemy...\' The white-scaled Monster thought as it circled around, aiming to hide behind another tentacle aimed at the Commander. \'It\'s been a while since I fought like this.\'
Ani silently stared at the palm of her hand for a bit.
At the slight particles of Frost.
"Mm." She nodded.
Her body barely moved, but that was enough to shake off the deposited Frost.
The Orcish Fiend clenched its fist.
"Mm!"
Coming all this way for this? It feels a bit...
\'I\'ll wait for the first tentacle to hit. Whether it\'s stopped or dodged, I\'ll emerge right after and-\'
The tentacle was a meter away from the Commander.
But it wasn\'t stopped nor dodged.
With one hit from her fist,
BAMM-
The tentacle was blown off.
The whole limb had been torn by a blunt attack.
Coming all this way for this? It feels a bit...
Even Mark, who was still more than a dozen meters away, could feel the pressure exerted.
Coming all this way for this? It feels a bit...
"MM!"
A bit lacking.
"That\'ll do." The Commander asserted as she cracked her knuckles.
\'What kind of Beast is that...?\' The white-scaled Monster asked itself as it stared nerveously.
"Fire Magic, Ice Magic... A pretty high degree of expertise in both. Rare. Very rare. Your movements... Wind Magic?"
Mark\'s eyebrow rose instinctively.
"Yeah... Felt that way. You can understand me too. Huh. Don\'t want to talk? Or is it that you want me to think of you as a wild beast?"
The white-scaled Monster started looking away when,
"No need to worry about them. They\'re shitting themselves after one of them lost a limb. Disgusting creatures anyways. But, oh well..." Ani cracked her neck. "Who am I to talk?"
Mark noticed that her words were true.
None of the Krishrens dared move or attack.
He couldn\'t blame them.
A show of force like that would put off most.
\'If they\'re not attacking her then...\'
"Is this how you beat him? No." Ani brought a hand to her chin and tapped her lower lip with her index finger. "It can\'t be. Hiding and running away wouldn\'t work. Ugh..." She raised her gaze to the sky, pensive. "How, how, how...? Mm. Well," Suddenly, her index finger stopped tapping her lip. And just as suddenly, she directed her gaze towards Mark, whose whole body shivered. "No use thinking about it." Ani lowered her body. "How you defeated him..."
Just from her gaze. Simply from the way his body reacted to her gaze, Mark knew.
"Show me." She whispered as a dozen rifts were drawn on the ground below and behind her.
Keeping up with her speed was impossible.
A battle of strength was a lost cause.
In a split second, Mark decided on what to rely on.
A split second was all he had after all. She was already so close.
The white-scaled Monster raised its arms up.
A circle of Frost was drawn on the ground, with Mark standing at its center.
A Dome of Ice quickly materialized.
But that wouldn\'t be enough to stop her.
Not even close.
the face.
The Ice Dome broke as Mark\'s body was launched into it with about five times more The white-scaled Monster swung its left arm, and dark particles were left in the air.
The particles grew and turned into dark knives which formed and floated in a circle.
In Mark\'s right hand, a whip of flames appeared.
His left hand was left free.
Ice, Corruption, and Fire.
All could be manipulated at will.
The only thing that mattered now was the timing.
Thanks to his High Elven Pupil, Mark could easily see through the Ice Dome surrounding him.
Her movements were unbelievably fast.
Mark\'s use of the different Magic Skills had practically been instantaneous. But so had her movements.
The instant she was about to punch the Ice Dome,
Ice Manipulation-
The smooth surface of the Ice Dome was turned into a sharp spear.
At the same time, Mark prepared to send the knives made from Corruption Magic and the flames-
BAM-
CRACK-
"MM!"
The white-scaled Monster barely had the time to turn around.
"Not bad!"
As it turned around, it was welcomed by a smile and a ridiculously powerful punch to the face.
The Ice Dome broke as Mark\'s body was launched into it with about five times more momentum and force than it could handle.
"Show me more." Ani slammed her fists together.
It was made painfully obvious.
Who was Prey, and who was Predator.
