Chapter 90: All at once!
"So it's time to skewer this beast to bits." Charla said as long vines began sprouting out from the ground while the branches from the trees began moving around and so did a huge gust of wind spread out surrounding old man Jankis and finally, a dozen light swords appeared all around Langris.
"I'm glad you all are here." Licht said and then he stepped back a bit while a huge light sword appeared beneath his feet as he was suddenly flying up and then stayed in the sky several metres away from the ground. "I want you all to hold it back for me for two minutes and then I will get rid of it."
"Two whole minutes?! For all I know, we could die in two minutes!" Grey shouted back.
"I trust you and your judgement so I won't question you." Charla said and then the vines and branches began moving more twisting and turning like snakes while the beast glared at them all.
'Uhm! Noir, I think I might need your help if we want to hold it down.' Grey thought in his mind but then he heard Noir scoffing.
"You want to be the greatest mage ever? Then prove it by taking on the beast yourself and don't disturb me." Noir replied and he went silent.
"I promise you, whenever I see you out here, I will make sure I electrocute you!" Grey shouted in anger when the beast dashed towards him instead of the others as if deeming him as a much bigger threat.
Seeing this, old man Jankis shot out dozens of wind blades towards the beast who without turning around managed to avoid each and every one before getting to Grey's position and taking a swing at him but he was nowhere to be seen as he suddenly could be seen floating slightly above the ground.
"That was a close one." He breathed a sigh of relief as he could see Langris dashing towards the beast very fast but not as fast as Langris but still something Grey wouldn't be able to keep up with.
But the beast avoided his sword easily and then prepared to hit him away when a tree branch suddenly appeared and wrapped around the beast pulling its paws back but pushing its hand forward, the branch snapped but the time it bought was more than enough as Langris shot a spear towards the beast who jumped back in time avoiding it.
From above, Grey rained fireballs upon fireballs onto the beast who swiveled, jumped and dashed avoiding each and every one while the fireballs were crashing into the ground scorching it and causing smoke to appear around.
From the side, old man Jankis shot out two consecutive burst of wind towards the beast with one of them hitting it back while it shot out fireballs towards the other wind causing it to blow up forming a smoke screen.
It was about to move when Langris appeared from the smoke and thrust his sword forward but slapping the light sword, it dissipated and then without wasting time, the beast swiftly turned around and whacked him with its small powerful tail causing Langris to fly backwards and hit a nearby tree hard breaking it as his head was seen bleeding.
"Darn it!" Grey cursed as a stream of lightning began running up and down his hand. "You f*cking light elf, will you hurry it up before your family and loved ones die?!" He said as he shot out two burst of lightning towards the beast who began running around avoiding each and every bolt of lightning.
While Charla also controlled the branches around and kept on trying to restrain the beast and then she also shot some seeds into the ground about a dozen of them and then plants sprouted up but before they could do anything, the Echidas shot out two fireballs burning the plants up.
While Jankis kept on swinging wind blades after blades towards the beast who kept on shooting out more fireballs against it.
"Darn it! Doesn't it run out of mana?!" Jankis shouted as a burst of wind shot out of his hand towards the beast hitting and pushing it back. "Cause I'm running out of mana despite my vast pool!"
"Same here darn it!" Grey shouted as he decided to begin bombarding the beast with both lightning and fire magic while still floating above the ground.
Looking towards where Licht was, he could see him with his eyes wide open while it began shining bright and his hair was fluttering in the wind and his hands too was glowing bright golden.
'This was the same way he was the other time before the beast interrupted him. I wonder what he is about to do. And I hope he does it soon darn it!' Grey thought as he kept on shooting more magic towards the beast who was still surprisingly avoiding everything.
"I'm not done yet!" Everybody heard a voice saying and then a long sword made of light was shot at the beast who hit it breaking it but then a dozen more was sent flying its way.
Twirling around, a gust of wind was surrounding the beast and pushing off, the dozen swords dissipated and then it shot out fireballs towards the person that was sending attack spells towards it.
The fireballs was heading towards Langris at immense speed but then an Earth wall rose up blocking it when from behind the beast, vines were seen shooting from the ground trying to pierce the beast but jumping up, it shot more fireballs at the vines.
Immediately its feet touched the ground, Earth suddenly surrounded it grounding it down. More and more Earth was surrounding its feet and then about a dozen shot of lightning bolts hit the beast stunning and electrifying the beast and with no doubt not affecting it.
"Gotcha! Time for a big one everyone!" Grey shouted and all the vines and branches from the forest and crawled around binding the beast despite the Earth surrounding it.
And tornado began surrounding Jankis while a huge and towering light sword appeared above Langris' head.
"My turn!" Grey mumbled as a huge mound of Earth burst out of the ground before it shaped into a long arrow and fire erupted the arrow surrounding it. Then followed by lightning causing it to hit the ground.
"Weldone guys! You helped me and I'm finally ready." They all heard a voice say from above them before they could launch their spells.
Looking up, they could see Licht floating above his light sword while his body was glowing brightly. With his eyes clear white no single black in it. "This will deplete my whole mana core but it should be worth it."
He said and then above them all, the whole forest was now surrounded with long light swords above the battlefield. They were about hundreds of it and as if that wasn't enough, a light whip appeared surrounding the beast restricting it as it was slowly trying to escape.
"Licht are you crazy?! Are you trying to kill us with this?" Grey shouted when he saw Licht smirk.
"All at once! Time to finish the beast off!" He smirked as the hundred swords moved at once.
