‘’A wood elemental was spotted, we are doomed’’ wavered I with a pale face
W-what does that mean? I lean over to side and whisper in her ear ‘’psst, Side, what's a wood elemental?’’ she whispers back while I is still panicking in the background ‘’elementals are beings of pure compressed mana usually of a single element, they grow by absorbing the element they are made of so a fire elemental absorbs fire and a wood elemental absorbs wood, you can see why it would be dangerous if something like that wanders to this giant tree’’ ah, good to know, but isn’t everything technically made out of mana? What's the point in saying something is pure mana when everything is mana?
We set out of this library to find the once orderly city in full panic mode, elves running amok as the light elves by the roof shift to a bright red further amplifying the chaos, ‘’w-where do we go now?’’ I ask I since he is meant to be a guide and all ‘’uuuh, the manual says that if some calamity faces bigbigtree you are meant to evacuate to the designated shelters underground’’ underground? Well, it would make sense to evacuate to stable ground in an emergency and if they needed to evacuate it would be because something happened the tree, being near any more wood would be hazardous.
Side and I follow I as we sidestep through the crowd of flustered people, I carry side by my side to avoid the situation of getting her swept aside as I leads us to the shelter, it’s times like this that make you feel grateful when you have someone like i that knows what to do.
As we approach the crowded elflivator headed to the underground bunker I felt an ominous vibration through my feet DANGER oh hi instincts! Fancy meeting you again! I hit the breaks making sure side is safely under my arm as I prepare myself for what is to come. ‘’why did you suddenly stop? The elflivator to the bunker is right th-‘’ CREEAAAKK
Everyone stops dead and stares in horror as the side of bigbigtree scatters like ash in the wind, I snag a glimpse of the perpetrator, a humungous floating brown ball sending out shockwaves of power as everything made of wood disintegrates before getting dragged into its ever growing mass ‘’FOR-MAAYY-SHUN!’’ a booming voice sweeps over snapping everyone out of their trance, thousands of elven guards rush to the scene as I stare at the one in charge, a chubby middle aged man wearing a bedazzled white jumpsuit, short flowing cape, long pointed ears, bullet-esque pompadour hair and a pose that makes me question a lot of things, holding a microphone on one hand and a guitar slung around his back is the man leading the counterattack.
Elfis Presley, Level 147 King of Rock and Roll, Threat 98%, General of both the elven army and the Elfis subspecies, specializes in rock type magic and music, has a long track history on hitting on every girl and calling them ‘baby’, watch out as you are right in his strike zone~
Slammit Identify! I did not need to know that! Elfis stands atop his little platform giving out various orders to the different divisions and units, the army splits up and begins its counterattack launching waves of fire and metal magic at the wood elemental occasionally falling back and luring it away from the city.
The giant woody cowboy directs its attention to the little ants poking at its feet, WAIT huh? wasn’t it a sphere before?! When did it change? It feels so natural being a giant wooden phallus THERE IT IS AGAIN! I need to trust Instinct more as I would have never noticed without it ‘’hey identify tell me what's up with that elemental’’

W-What the hell is this? IDENTIFY! I squint my eyes really hard and somehow make out what it means while damaging my brain in the process ‘’Corrupted Wood Elemental level ???’’ something something something ‘’Hates metal and fire and you don’t want to make it angry’’ I wipe away these suspicious red tears with my free hand while ignoring the worried looks of my party members as I dazedly watch the giant tigerkin slam down its golf club flattening hundreds of elves and absorbing their wood mana growing ever stronger.
Level up
A warm hand caresses my head sending tingles throughout my body, swatting away the hand with a ‘humph’ I set side down to commence a little group huddle with I, wait, since when did I start thinking of I as part of the group?! He pets my head again making me lose my train of thought. Now, where was I? oh right!
The author's narrative has been misappropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon.
‘’Team plan group meeting number 1, how do we get out of this situation?’’ we need a plan to get out of here safely because at this rate the elves are doomed ‘’I'm part of the team now? Great! How about we help the army fight off the invader!’’ y-you want to FIGHT? ‘’what do you think we can do against THAT? You don’t know our fighting power and even the army is struggling, Clearly the best option is to run’’ I look at I with confusion
‘’But are you telling me to run while my home is being destroyed? While everyone I know gets eaten by that thing? When even the people are fighting for their country?’’ I glance around and notice that among the uniformed army are a bunch of civilians mixed in contributing what little they have in aid to the defence of their home, ugh now I feel guilty.
What should we do? I turn to side ‘’What do you suggest we do? Stay and fight, or run?’’ side jumps a little from the unexpected question ‘’U-um I t-think w-we should s-stay and fight’’ are you crazy?! You are literally made of cardboard and use plant magic! In what way can you help? ‘’sigh fine, now how do you suppose we aid them? Side uses plant magic so she’s out, I use some weird special magic that may or may not help. What can you do?’’ I’s luminescence dims as he floats down, mumbling something under his breath.
‘’I can use light magic! But it won’t help with this fight… I-I I just want to save them…’’ sigh, I guess it’s up to me to fight, I wonder if I can suck it apart? Buildings ahead of us are dissolving as ominous creaking can be heard throughout the city, the elves that get too close to the elemental die from getting their wood sucked, I mean getting partially dissolved from the wood element leaving their being, the giant rooster crows an ear-shattering screech disintegrating everything remaining near it through the shockwave alone.
How the flock am I meant to fight that?
