…
Marco's element is thunder. He caught an idea of blasting the Green Minotaur with Shocker Hands spell by exploiting his conductive metal chains that strapped on his body onto his axes. He then sustained the Shocker Hands for roughly around ten seconds and now is still electrocuting the Green Minotaur, Ordan.
"Have a taste of my thunder, green freak!" he shouted.
Ordan, however, although receives heavy burn injuries, he managed to withstand it.
"Dirty tricks *bbrrrrt* of the damned humans *bbrrrt* on me?!" he spouted angrily. Ordan stepped front once by his right foot, he lowered his body near ground level. Streaks of electricity was seen visibly deviating from his body to the dirt below.
He then uses the footing from his left foot and boosted himself onto Marco with high speed.
"Whoa!—
*BDUGH!* *JDAM!!*
"GUHAAGH!"
Ordan rammed Marco with his left shoulder, knocking him far. Marco flung off and collided with a tree, some leaves fell on him, "Argh!"
The Minotaur then rushes to grab his weapon back. He then puts his hand on his nape and around his neck, the high voltage caused a circular scorch mark around his neck, since there are chains that connects his neck chains and his wrist's, which makes where the shock focused on.
"If I didn't charge at that human *brrrrt* sooner... I might get fried entirely," he sighed.
Marco, who nearly lost his consciousness again after impact with the tree, only thinks of what he should do next… "T-This is j-just super-duper great… grrrgh… what should I do...?" he resisted the pain he received. "Gaah… didn't expect that big guy charging at me like that… guh!"
A thought passed by, "I mustn't lose. Nina... I won't let your... attempt be in vain... I won't lose!" Marco tries to cheer himself to regain spirit to push himself to stand back up. But ultimately fails. He's overly exhausted plus his ankles broke.
"Yeah... that's right... just great! I can't stand up..." he said as he kisses back the ground.
Ordan approaches the damaged explorer, "Shhh…. Haaaah… you're one tricky human to handle, but I always knew that my wind magic will prevail. No matter how hard you try. In the end... you're just the same as those stupid soldiers and other mercenaries that tried to kill me," Ordan raises his right axe above his head.
"I appreciate your attempt, but this is your en—*SLASH*—AGGAAARGH!" Ordan suddenly cracks into pain.
Suddenly a huge slash ripped Ordan's back. He then quickly throws his left axe backwards in retaliation, but misses miserably. "Who goes there...?! Huh...? No one...?" Ordan turns himself around, trying to find the attacker, but none to be found.
*ZOOSH!
"Hah?!" Ordan turned around at Marco, only to find that he's not there anymore. Ordan takes an alerted stance, while pulling back his left axe by his chains.
*SHTASH! *TASH!
A sound of a shattered metal is heard. Ordan dismisses it and keeps pulling his axe, but only to find only the chains that returned back while the axe didn't. "W-What the—
"Sword Art - Shining Sword!"
Ordan saw a visible slash coming towards him in a fast rate, but he didn't have the chance to move away.
*SLASH*
"AAARGH!" A big slash opened on his right hip up to his left shoulder, in which forms a diagonal slash mark. Blood drenched from the beast, but he had no idea what hit him.
Ordan went unbalanced, as he stops on his knee, he's watching towards the place where the human girls forcefully used her healing magic before passing out...
"Impossible… t-they're not there... they're NOT THERE?!" he screamed.
"…look over here, Ordan." A soft yet bold voice coming from behind, Ordan turns the opposite direction quickly, "W-Who?!" Suddenly a flame wave nearly hit him head on. "UHAAH?!" Ordan appears in horror.
"You're insanely weak against Fire elementalist... not to mention o-on how you avoid flaming areas," A deep voice uncovered Ordan's weakness.
As the flame wave fades away, a man with his sword sheathed appeared before him!
It's Scias! He moved away again, Ordan's eye couldn't follow his movements. "T-Too fast…!"
*ZOOSH! "Huh?!" Ordan caught eye onto Scias. He's carrying the explorer on his shoulder.
"Good grief, M-Marco…" He then dropped the ko'ed explorer under a tree. "Didn't I tell y-you... that I w-will be back before s-sunset...?" he wailed stutteringly.
"…your overly worrying self… can be your downfall, m-mate…" he then turns at the Green Minotaur. Scias then tries to analyze the situation:
"Marco was a bollock-head to fight him without a melee weapon. The beast may be big but he's slow when he had thrown his axe…" Scias scrunched his eyes toward the twins, "Huh… Aily isn't hurt... But Nina is soaked in blood but no sign of cuts or bruises… how is that possible—ah, nevermind that," Scias then dismissed it.
He then turns his sights onto the beast, "Y-You're pretty smart to go around the road and avoided us. Why d-did you avoid us, mercenaries? You could've smashed us like you d-did with the others," Scias stated bravely.
I aimed forth at Ordan with my right hand, "Or were you scared of what's coming...?" he added tauntingly.
"Grr… hrrgh… h-heh, you're lucky to deal a critical blow to me twice… scared? Hmph, with my Cyclone Cutters, there's no way you humans can defeat me," Ordan stared arrogantly. He still had his confidence cranked up.
However, Scias backlashed by saying: "You want to use that broken magic of yours again...?" he said with a pity. The tall mercenary then grabs something from his waist pocket.
"You'll regret calling it 'broken' human. I am the strongest! I'll cast three all at once. There's no way you'll avoid them!" Ordan begins to chant in a furious way.
"HAAA! Take this, Maximum Element - Triple Cy—GUHAH?!"
Before Ordan finishes casting his spell, a white magic circle emerges from Scias' item. That magic circle suddenly flashes out a blinding white hue as the magic circle begins to widen fastly like a wave.
Upon impact to Ordan, suddenly his magic circle cracked and finally shatters apart, but he's not physically damaged at all. The blinding white color fades out. Ordan then realized his magic stopped, so he begins to cast another one. "Hah! Useless magic, human, now die!"
"Maximum Element - Triple Cyclone Cutters!"
…
Three seconds. Nothing happened.
"W-What?!" Ordan was shocked. He then casted again but nothing appeared, he attempted again, but then again, he failed hardly.
"W-What kind of craziness is t-this?! W-What did YOU do to me, HUMAN?!" Ordan loses his composure.
"Holy Elemental Item... known as t-the [Sacred Sanctuary]," Scias conveyed boldly as he stared at Ordan. "It has the capability to erase its target's magic attack and breaks their mana circuit from ever doing it again," Scias walked slowly to the Minotaur as he threw away the broken item that shaped like a white orb.
"…which means... even if you d-d-did accomplish your m-magic and launched at m-me... this item still can stop it... and any casted magic will inflict damage to the user should the magic got erased by this item," Scias swipes his bangs coldly.
"Heh… too bad... too bad I can't see that w-work directly..." Scias then stances ready to pull his sword anytime.
"Sword Arts - Sheer Force!"
Scias pulled his sword faster than an eye blink; he disappeared from his position in a second and reappeared in front of the beast. He rotated his sword quickly and used the dull part of his sword to hit Ordan in the stomach.
"AAGHHACK!" Ordan suddenly convulsed and flung off the ground and hit a cliff past a small river nearby.
Ordan tried to stand back up... but he has no energy left within him.
He's done for.
