My heart raced as I saw the monsters coming towards me. The monsters were not a problem. Given my powers, I could easily crush them.
The problem was the girl in my arms. My powers were too intense. Even a single spark of my red lightning could cause fatal damage to her and I did not want her to get hurt because of me.
“Peter, I’m here to help.”
Just as I was contemplating how to effectively kill those monsters, I heard Master Mordo’s voice.
Looking towards where the voice was coming from, I could see Master Mordo approaching us from a portal.
Now, I could see why Master Mordo got the title of a master. It was not an easy task to create a portal in the mirror dimension especially when it has been this much distorted.
The distortion of the mirror dimension scrambled the spatial coordinates, making it quite hard to create an effective portal. Only someone who had a mastery in the study of mirror dimension could pull it off.
Now that Master Mordo was here, I knew what I had to do.
“Take her back.” I pushed the girl towards Master Mordo by putting a float spell on her.
As Master Mordo caught her, I could see his surprised expression.
“I will take care of the monsters here. You go and help others.” I announced my invention.
“Be careful.” Master Mordo said to me and left with the girl through a portal.
I could feel his emotions through his words. Master Mordo knew how powerful I was, yet he asked me to be careful.
Seeing that the monsters were now closer to me and only approaching me from a single direction, I decided to do something I rarely had the chance to do. I created a magic circle and casted a spell. The magic circle was red in colour with some red sparks flying from it because it was a lightning spell I was casting with my red lightning.
As soon as all the monsters were in the range, the crackling red magic circle launched several bolts of lightning towards them.
However, the bolts did not move in a straight line. They moved around the monsters and then wrapped them in a cage.
The bolts of lightning didn't disappear and continued to exist, trapping the monsters within it. Then, more bolts spread from the cage and struck the monsters both inside it as well as the few stragglers who were not inside the cage.
This was the spell ‘Lightning Prison’. Despite it being a binding spell, its power was greater than a large number of combat spells and it was also quite difficult both to learn and use.
This tale has been pilfered from Royal Road. If found on Amazon, kindly file a report.
I could also create the effect of the spell without using the spell itself but it would take me more than a few minutes to create it and the effect would be a little erratic as it was a rather complex spell which required both lightning attribute and the study of advanced energy constructs.
Although I had mitigated the spell’s power quite a lot in order to not outright annihilate the monsters, all the smaller monsters had died after taking one or two bolts of lightning.
Only the giant monster was remaining and even it was not in a much greater condition after crashing into the lightning cage in a bid to escape it.
Deciding to end its misery, I soared towards the monster with a lightning blade and sliced at its neck. As the monster’s head was quite large, it took me more than a single strike to finish it.
Having finished the immediate threat, I looked back to see how the others were doing.
Nearly all the monsters had reached the formation by now. I could also see three giant monsters engaging in battle.
I flew towards them immediately, realising that the situation could once again turn dangerous.
As I reached near the formation, I would see who was engaging the giant monsters.
One monster was fighting with Master Mordo. Other sorcerers were supporting Master Mordo by binding the monster and attacking it with their spells while Master Mordo took the attention of the monster with the help of his magic boots and staff artefact.
Another monster was attacking Master Wong and the elite sorcerers who were manipulating the mirror dimension. However, its attack ended before it even began.
Master Wong and the elite sorcerers constantly manipulated the area around the monster, blocking its approach by trapping it within the various floating buildings. It was not able to move forward an inch since it attempted to attack them.
The last monster was near where the martial artists of Ta Lo were. Master Ying Nan was currently fighting it.
Whenever the monster tried to attack her, it seemed like she knew how it was going to attack. She dodged its every attack and also counterattacked near perfectedly.
Honestly, she looked like a fairy as she constantly moved around the monster. Of course, the monster itself looked quite frustrated because of its inability to attack her.
I quickly moved to support Master Ying Nan as I reached the formation. Taking advantage of the fact that the monster was distracted by Master, I unleashed a relatively powerful lightning bolt at it.
The monster cried as it was suddenly strike by my lightning bolt.
Master Ying Nan was slightly surprised by my appearance but seized the opportunity to strike a magic infused punch at the monster’s head like she had shown me back during my trial.
The monster was already quite battered by Master previously and my lightning bolt had put it near death. Master’s punch on its already dented head was the last nail in the coffin, finishing it off.
“Hey, I could deal with it myself.” Master Ying Nan chided me playfully.
“I know,” I said while smiling.
I scanned the battlefield once more to see what had changed. Master Mordo had already finished the monster he was fighting with the help of the sorcerers.
However, Master Wong was still fighting with his monster as he also had to manipulate the mirror dimension.
I was just starting to move towards Master Wong to support him when suddenly Master Wong created a large portal towards the monster.
From the portal came a train which directly rushed towards the monster and struck it head on, finishing it off.
Damn! I didn’t know you could use mirror dimension to perform such tricks. I will have to ask Master Wong later how he did it.
With all the giant monsters finished, the few remaining monsters were in complete panic. I swiftly moved to dispatch them in order to finish the battle.
At this moment, it was clear that the battle was over.
