Ephemeral clouds and works

Chapter 546: Killing Spree

    

lunging into the spiny crocodile's back. With a powerful yank, it ripped the crocodile's spine out. The bear itself fell into the river, exhausted and unconscious.Almost half the river was dyed red wi...When Helena cried out, everyone reacted instantly. Ripple opened her magical formation first, stabilizing herself and pulling Raoul aside. He was the team's healer; he absolutely couldn't get hurt.

La YYe also opened the magic circle. Following his young master's instructions, he drew in Corlia and Helena into the magic circle.

Leia almost cast her spell at the same time as the ripple, and inside her magic circle was Gray. Gray had already drawn his sword from his waist and was ready for battle.

The seven people who came charging in had a clear objective. They each went after their respective opponents, launching attacks without mercy.

Raul watched as the two charged at the ripple magic formation, launching their attacks. He rolled his eyes and with a flick of his wrist on his spatial belt, pulled out a vial of fluorescent green potion, handing it to Ripples and saying:

This is a marking agent, find a way to get them covered in it. I'll create a poison gas in a bit and kill them directly.

Ripples swallowed hard. This person was really direct, coming straight in to kill. But she liked it just fine. She took the fluorescent green potion and then added:

Take care of yourself.

Then he leaped out of the magic circle, sword in hand, and charged at the two people facing him.

The two were one mage and one knight. The knight's rank was the same as Ripple, a golden knight. It could be seen that the person who wanted to kill them had spared no expense.

With a clang, the two swords collided. The opposing mage, seeing an opportunity as their golden knights were distracted by the ripples, began attacking Raul who was protected within the magic circle.

Raul wouldn't just sit back and wait. He charged straight at them, throwing a vial of fluorescent green liquid. The magic user attacking the formation immediately opened a defensive magic barrier, blocking Raul's projectile. Then, the vial shattered, coating the opponent's magic formation with its liquid.

After ten or so exchanges with the golden knight, Ripples realized the gulf in their abilities. He immediately drew his Raiyo sword and sheathed his previous blade.

Lei Yaojian and Lianyi's minds resonated, and Lei Yaojian possessed a lightning-attribute attack. With the boost from Lei Yaojian, it made up for the deficiency in Lianyi's knightly strength within her body. Then, her figure flashed as she initiated a counterattack.

In several exchanges of blows, Lian finally managed to cut the opponent's sword in half. While the opponent was stunned for a moment, Lian swiftly plunged her blade into their throat.

As the opponent hadn't fully collapsed yet, she immediately turned back to support Raul. The defensive magic circle in front of Raul was already flickering, about to vanish at any moment.

Raul saw the ripples wipe out his opponent, and immediately pulled out a vial of red potion, throwing it again at the mage across from him. The mage once again blocked it with a magic circle.

But this time, the magic circle tainted with red potion ignited like fire, burning and instantly tearing open a gap in the circle. This opening gave Ripple an opportunity; she flung her Thunderlight Sword forward, striking the opponent's chest directly.

Lei Yaojian lived up to his master's expectations, wrapped in the power of purple lightning, it transformed into a streak of light piercing the mage's lungs. The mage's opened magic circle also dissipated instantly due to the interrupted energy supply, and then the mage covered his abdomen and slowly knelt down.

With a flick of her wrist, she brought the Ripple back into her hand. She kicked the half-dead mage away with her foot before pulling Raoul aside to dodge where they had just been standing. The defensive magic circle she had opened was shattered by an even larger one.

Ripple this time sheathed her sword and returned it to her spatial storage, summoning her lotus magic staff in preparation for the high mage who had just ambushed them.

Though he was locked in a battle with the ship's chief mage, this man kept an eye on what was happening here. Seeing Ripple extinguish both of them one after another, he seized the opportunity during his fight to hurl small attack magic circles at her relentlessly.

"This Grand Mage TNND is so shameless, he actually ambushed us!"

Raul scratched his auburn hair, muttering with some irritation.

"Alright, save your energy and think about how to deal with the other party."

Ripples continuously channeled the mage's power within her into her magic staff in her hand. With Raoul, she kept moving erratically, then her eyes flashed and she shouted:

"Lara, Leia, come here!"

At this time, the other two small combat groups also saw Ripples' predicament and immediately began to move closer to her.

The magical formation La Ye had conjured held off the attack from the three people across from them, but it was difficult to counterattack. Golia immediately released her phantom beast A Yin, having it entangle Helena, who was the most physically powerful of the three.

Helena immediately understood Corilia's plan. She slipped out through the opened back door, hidden in the shadows, and then moved to behind the three men. She launched a sweeping attack, her golden sword light killing the mage among them and wounding the two knights.

The opponent was attacked from behind, and the two knights immediately stood back-to-back, starting to swing their swords blindly. Their familiars were attached to their respective blades, and their power was considerable, but they couldn't hit the invisible Helena.

La Ye's magic formation, now free from the high-level mage's attack, finally had the chance to retaliate. He immediately reversed the formation, transforming the defensive wind element magic into an offensive one. A barrage of wind blades flew out from the formation, piercing towards the two knights.

Two knights immediately drew their swords to meet the attack, but they were directly cut down by the invisible Helena, leaving only one man behind.

Just then, Helena heard Ripples' call and returned to Golia's side, saying to her:

"Gallia, have Laya take us to Young Master Lian's side. Your beast companion will need to cooperate with me for now."

"No problem!"

Gallia wasn't at all alarmed, even a little excited. She immediately told Leti that Helena had returned and asked him to take them to meet her.

On the other side, Leia and Gray were much more relaxed. After all, Gray had been with Leia since childhood, and they had both trained in joint attacks.

So this time, facing the incoming mages and knights, Grey took the lead in offense while Leia focused on defense, also finding time to cast an attack magic circle to assist Grey.

The first one to be taken out was the knight. Despite being well protected by their mages, he simply wasn't a match for Grey. Grey's golden sword cleaved his head clean off.

Without the help of his comrades, the mage suddenly found himself struggling. As he turned around, he saw that only he and another knight remained from their original group. He panicked and immediately summoned a teleportation array to escape the starship.

"Grey, let's go meet Lily."

Leia naturally heard Ripple's call, opened her magical formation, and walked towards the moving Ripple.

"Remember that composite magic circle we used before!"

Ripples asked loudly.

"Remember!"

Leia and Laiye answered in unison.

"Let's try again, this time with a magic circle using the elements of wind, fire, and lightning!"

"Young master, I'm in charge of the wind magic formation!"

"Lily, I'll be in charge of the fire magic circle!"

"Okay, I'm in charge of the lighting array! Begin!" to respect him as their imperial father and grandfather. At such a young age, he would be one of the most respected people in the palace. They value status and power.”Nannan nodded half-understanding...
