Chapter 250 Vs Terence III

But when he sensed that Evan did not appear on at his sides as he had expected, but more than a Terence momentarily paused his spell casting and spread out a wave of aura, intending on sounding out Evan's position.

"...what?"

'He doesn't seem to be casting any spells, so what can he do from that distance? Does he have a long ranged sk-!'

Terence's thoughts were interrupted when he suddenly felt condensed magic power and visibly saw a long red beam of light shoot out from Evan's left hand towards his feet.

He instantly moved to dodge, however, that proved to be a mistake in the next moment.

"I thought you'd do that!"

Hearing Evan's voice, he looked towards the falling hero as he flew to the side and saw the boy's right hand stretched out towards him.

'Right hand?'

Evan then held out two fingers on that hand and pointed them towards the moving Terence, causing the man to be momentarily confused, but not for long.

**BOOM!

A small explosion rang out as Terence's foot was hit by the concealed beam of red light, causing him to lose his balance and sending him crashing towards the ground.

As for Evan, the young hero waited until he was close to the ground before blinking and reappearing a metre away from the ground and landing safely.

However, he despite his successful attack, he had a frown on his face as he stared back at the figure in the sky that was glaring at him.

"So, it wasn't the boots, huh?"

What Evan had just done could be summarised in a single paragraph.

He had used one of Pride's fire magic spells that shot out a beam of energy just like his energy blast, however, the advantage of this spell was that the energy blast could be redirected once mid-flight while Evan's energy blast could not, at least not yet. So, with the spell in both hands and under concealment, he launched the beams of flame magic energy towards Terence's feet, first firing one and letting him see it so he could think he had dodged Evan's attack and unconsciously let his guard down, allowing the second one to hit him unobstructed.

He did keep moving after dodging but Evan had accounted for that possibility, hence the reason he used the spell whose direction could be changed mid-flight.

As for why he targeted Terence's boots; it was the man's boots were magic artifacts and they had a magic stone hidden under the soles, so Evan had assumed they were his flight artifacts.

However, given the fact that Terence had been able to regain his balance mid-air and remain airborne, it meant that Evan was wrong.

'Either that or he has two flight artifacts.

Anyway, just what spell has he been casting all this while? Mimicking it also isn't possible yet as I don't have any idea of what its effect is.'

Evan's internal questions were answered in the next moment as Terence pointed his glowing hands towards Evan and screamed out with an anger-filled voice.

"Earthen Rain!!"

'Rain?!'

The young hero's eyes widened as he instantly understood just what kind of spell Terence had in store for him from just the 'Rain' in the spell name.

He instantly jumped away from his current position, just in time to avoid the rock spear that had fallen from the sky with the intent to impale him.

'I've never seen any 'Rain' with a single drop before.'

Looking up and seeing dozens of similar rock spears floating in the sky around Terence, the young hero sighed and spoke.

"Thought so."

Immediately after, he kicked off the ground and ran, putting his full 'C+' agility stat to use as he moved to dodge the earthen spears that rained down from the sky at speeds rivalling that of average bullet trains.

**BOOM! BOOM! BOOOOMM!!!

Small explosions rang out as the earthen spears crashed and drilled into the ground, causing clouds of dust dirt and smoke to cover the area.

'Smoke?!'

Confused at there being smoke from an explosion caused by 'earthen' spears colliding with the ground, Evan glanced upwards momentarily and just before the cloud of dust covered his vision, he saw a tinge of red on the gigantic spell circle in the air.

'That's right, he has the fire affinity too.'

Terence didn't let up with his spear bombardment, even going as far as to shoot some spears towards nearby buildings and causing them to collapse, inevitably slowing the young hero who had to dodge the collapsing buildings.

'A collapsing building won't hurt but it'd definitely serve as a good momentary restraint. Besides, just how many city blocks have we wrecked so far?'

[If those groups of fifteen buildings separated by a street are what you call a 'block' then you've wrecked close to four.]

'You were counting?'

[I was bored since master didn't want me to do anything.]

'Hold on, Kayla. Your turn to literally shine is co-!'

His thoughts were interrupted as he sensed a few presences within his range of detection, clicking his tongue as he kicked off the ground and blitzed forwards, crossing hundreds of metres of distance within five seconds.

Instantly arriving in front of a group of civilians lying on the floor injured, with some knights struggling to help them to their feet, he roused his magic power as a frosty breath escaped his lips.

He immediately turned around and dragged his foot across the ground in a wide arc as he while calling out.

"Ice Magic: Ice Crystal Wall!"

The ground in front of him cracked open and a wall of light blue ice about half a metre thick emerged from the earth.

It was more than five metres tall and easily thrice that in width, slanting towards Evan and the people behind him.

The second the wall reached its full height; it was bombarded with dozens of flame-tipped earthen spears that chipped away at its durability very quickly.

The young hero kept infusing magic power into the wall while charging up an energy blast with his aura, keeping it concealed with his concealment skill.

'Using two different energy types at once is taxing.'
