Chapter 262 Herds and illusions

Some time ago, Rebecca along with Amaya and Edward was fighting with Elroy and his team in a swamp area.

It was a 3 vs 5 fight. Unfair to them from the very beginning as everyone's mana was sealed at the same level. In the beginning they were evenly matched and Rebecca even managed to get the upper hand in that fight eliminating two students of class A-5 despite the disadvantage in numbers.

But then when she felt her mana drained and tired after fighting for so long, something unexpected happened.

Backup arrived.

Not for her, but for the opposing team.

Qingyue Grayborn, the daughter of the Duke of Thidrol city. She was ranked 5th in entrance exams with an awakener rank of D-. n--OVelB1n

The fight which Rebecca thought she could solve with some effort became difficult instantly with her joining the tide. And this situation further worsened when Amaya who was in the middle of her spell got interrupted and suffered a backlash by the arrival of Qingyue.

"There's no point in continuing to fight. We'll only end up getting eliminated. Let's leave first and find others." Amaya suggested from the side, after seeing their current situation.

Seeing no choice to win this fight, Rebecca also nodded her head and decided to run away from it and find her own teammates for support first.

-Floor of Frost

-Mist of Misfortune

With an AOE spell that used basically all the remaining mana she had, Rebecca froze the entire ground around her enemies, freezing them for some time.

Edward also used one of his skills called Mist of Misfortune, which created white mist in the surrounding area. Affecting everyone who is trapped within to fall into a period of bad luck.

<It was a skill taught to the followers of goddess Jyeshtha, also referred as Alakshmi. She's the goddess of adversity and misfortune in hindu myths.>

Seeing these animals constantly jumping here and there, front and side Rebecca couldn't help but curse in her heart.

'Where's that dump pair of brother and sister? Did they encounter something like this too?' Rebecca couldn't help but shout and then be worried in her heart.

"Be careful, those pests from back then are coming behind you too." Edward said, as he sensed the traps he laid while running getting triggered.

Amaya looked over her shoulders and saw Qingyue and Elroy who were almost catching up with them.

-Twin Mirage

Elroy, seeing the animals jumping all around his opponents and them dodging their attacks directly, used his illusion skill called Twin Mirage.

Instantly the number of Roozarks around Rebecca and others doubled and it became hard to determine which one was real and which one was just an illusion. This made dodging the attacks of these jumping clowns much harder and Edward who was still suffering from low luck backlash, got hit a few times and rolled on the ground. Triggering his own traps and getting blasted into the sky.

"Fuuck" Edward cursed when he felt the stinging pain all over his body. But he stood up again and started fighting with the Roozarks who surrounded him from all sides.

'Is it over this time?' Rebecca thought as she looked at the purple haired Qingyue girl who was getting closer and closer to them.

-caw caw-

Just when she was thinking if this test was too hard to win easily, she heard something and looked up where a black crow was hovering in circles.

A smile came to her face as shouted "Keep running, we're almost there." Rebecca said, as she started using her aura reserves to help Edward and move forwards where an idiot was watching the drama from.

Amaya too sensed something and stopped acting 'fragile' and got serious for the first time.

'No point in getting eliminated, let's watch some fights first.' She thought and activated her spell.

-Silence

A spell which covered an area of 20 meters all around Amaya, silencing everything.
