Chapter 413 - Bad luck, my old Friend.

While King Michael and Bear Claw attacked from the sides, Eric attacked from the back and Mogranius attacked from the front. This all happened in almost the same seconds, so you can consider that all Fire Controllers attacked almost at the same time.

There is a reason why Mogranius is in front of the Army and Eric is in the back of it. For a start, it would take a few seconds longer to recover from an attack that came from behind. And obviously, King Michael wanted a highly powerful person doing the damage.

Eric can burn harder and longer without dropping to the ground because of Stamina. Mogranius was set in front, because he is known to be more slick, more agile.

He can avoid attacks which are the most common when facing an Army head on, and he can definitely catch a bit more attention so the other three Fire Controllers can compress the enemy Army better from all sides.

This battle plan is sweet and all, but I'm guessing you are more interested on details of how Eric and Mogranius attacked.

Mogranius was the third to pop out of thin air. And his first move was his favourite one, Atomic Fire! Although terrible when you consider that he can't waste a second, it sure blurred visions of anyone who saw it.

The atomic Fire definitely can't travel 50 meters and at such a distance it can't hurt anyone either, but the seconds he spent creating this anatomy of a blow, bought him double the time in comparison to the time he could have had if he didn't make the Atomic Fire Blast as his first move.

Why? Well as he blazed Fire from his hands, mouth and nose, forming an orb in between his palms separated by a foot from each other. Making this beautifully destructive force, he bashed the ground with it, watching it zig zag for a few meters which was his hint to fly off in order to avoid it's deadly radius.

The explosion after the orb zig zagged underground and broke towards the surface was both loud and blinding!

Some enemy Soldiers were covering their ears, some covering their eyes and some were just shooting randomly, hitting either the ground or the hard Iron Armour of their own kind.

For Mogranius, this is but a sweet delicate melody in his ears. It points out that he is in control, although just for a few seconds.

As a second favourite move, he unleashed the trick he tried to impress Commander Alia with in the very beginning! Shooting three long but thin Fireballs at the same time!

These Fireballs have a specific form when set loose in thin air like this, they slither left and right covering more bodies although they burn less since a lot of Stamina is put in the fact that they are 100 meters long!

Yes, 100 f.u.c.k.i.n.g meters long but a couple of feet wide each! It is a huge Stamina drainer, and it can drop this man to the ground but for hell's sake it is effective.

What's more interesting, he doesn't blast them for a second and let's them fade after. The Fireballs are enslaving the enemies with unholy Fire, while still connected to his palms a hundred meters away. If they aren't connected to his palms, control is permanently lost.

Trying to move all three elongated Fireballs from the left to the right in order to cover more bodies, felt like grabbing a whole damn Titanoboa on the head and move it from its spot.

Okay that was maybe a little bit exaggerated, but turning his body to move the Elongated Fireballs is extremely hard. A shit ton of concentration is required, and throughout the whole time he has to murmur to himself. "Don't break, don't break, don't break!"

Regardless of its complexity, it is still very effective. Although he did not burn them to the bone or penetrate their Armours, he did set a lot of heads on fire. Over 200! 

Some managed to put their own flames out, some dropped on the ground to roll on the snow but got trampled on instead, while a minority just started hitting each other on the head to help.

This move alone, has killed at least 60 people. Considering the c.u.mulative death counts of three Fire Controllers, 200 enemy Soldiers are dead. Huge progress, a huge impact. It shows what happens when one uses the old Noggin.

But, even fun has to eventually end. Because while he was taking men victim, he felt an explosion on his right side. It didn't hit him, but it was too close! It blew up only 2 feet away, it's likely an explosive bolt!

The explosion broke most of his concentration, which broke the whole offensive move he unleashed. To make it worse, it knocked him to the ground, face first to the snow.

"I'm not even surprised, I wondered when my bad luck will follow." He complained within himself, also murmuring a little bit.

Thankfully his leg hasn't been blown off, but the push was enough to do damage. If his hands were not forward blasting fire, he could have lost at least one finger!

Blasting fire from his feet, he flew towards the sky in order to avoid being blown to bits. These explosive bolts could kill a whole Calidum Lutum man, Mogranius couldn't even take half of what a bolt can deliver.

He was smart to fly off, because several more bolts blew up around right where he was standing, only a second later! That would have torn him into bits!

Now last but not least, you might be wondering about the impact the young 16 year old Electus caused upon these foul people?!

He broke out of invisibility last, and obviously not by accident he had the most time to attack and fly off, since the three Fire Controllers have already called for the most attention. And when being attacked by four sides who will the enemy fight off first?

He didn't want to do any special move, reasons behind it is that time is little and enemy count too high. Hilariously, although a child he is the only one who took King Michael's battle plan more seriously.

He started blowing 3-7 foot wide, short tailed Fireballs to any direction he could, as fast as possible. Reason behind it, each shot only takes half a second and the only thing stopping it after its shot is another body, it won't burn off for a long while otherwise.

He didn't even count how many Fireballs he blasted, neither did he see how many people he shot dead, he just moved his arms backwards and forwards trying to take the least time possible per shot.

He doesn't know how many seconds he took to shoot at everyone, but it sure felt like forever. By each second he was expecting to be showered with arrows, by each second he thought eventually someone will fight back, by each second he tried to observe how much seconds he could or could not have before he can fly off!

Taking one step back after the other, out of a sudden he saw a bundle of arrows land in front of his feet, one of which followed the random pattern and actually managed to nail Eric on his left foot!

The arrow tip broke the surface of his foot and nailed to the ground on the other side, this points out that it built up a lot of momentum while diving down towards the target.

Due to the sudden pain, Eric immediately blasted Fire from his feet. And it is a good thing he did so, although it hurt even more for a second while the Arrow tip was being pulled out of the ground, it also helped!

The arrow was pulled deeper through his left foot, which in other terms means that a small portion of the wooden tail is to be seen underneath his foot, a couple of inches long.

Melting Iron under his own foot could have caused long long pain because of liquid Iron, but since the arrow was pulled down deeper, the wooden body of the arrow ended up being burned instead and forcing the Iron tip to fall off.

Most of this problem is fixed now, all that is left to do is pull the tail out. Tricky in mid air, but flying with what was left of the arrow on his foot is even harder.

He grabbed the tail, yanked it out and shouted. "Ouch! I swear I will murder you all!"

Lightly dropping the arrow, he flew towards the Army from a height of over 80 meters and started showering them with Fireballs. He is flying fast to avoid being shot, and can't see where the Archers are but sure hopes to hit as many of them as possible as revenge for putting a whole f.u.c.k.i.n.g hole through his foot.

"Maybe Ladia can help heal it?" He thought, as he took a couple of men victim with a seven foot hatefully blown Fireball!
