The Magus in front of me is around six and a half feet, which means much longer than me. His head is around one foot above me, actually if not for him standing below the hole he made he couldn't even able to stand properly. I have a little advantage over him inside this tunnel, but the same things can't be said on the surface. He is a middle-aged man with a long beard, moustache, and decent build, unlike other typical magus who has no physical strength and they only depend on their Magic to fight... He is wearing a light blue robe, which is no more light blue and more like a Pink Robe of a Lady due to it being soaked with the horse Blood. "Pfft..." I laughed at it, he didn't turn his head and~
"woorh... woorh... woorh... woorh~ whoosh... woorh~" *Wind noise* He started to accumulate his mana on his both hand and several swirls of wind formed around him. Looks like he is now getting serious and this is what I want him to be... I don't want to fight with him while he is taking me lightly and so much haughtiness that he didn't even turn his body towards me, even now! I mocked him deliberately so he won't take me lightly and lose his guard. That would be an easy kill if he really takes me as a rookie, he must have realized his misunderstanding, and if not... I will not give him any further chance to rethink.
Like instantly without giving me any chance to think about anything, he sent the wind swirls flying towards me. I was prepaid but the swirls' are too fast...! **Now Whisper...** 'They are sharp like a blade made of iron... but still so thin and light... that it will cut through you... and you won't even realize anything... and by the time you move your body, it would have been too late... Several chunks of your body will fall on the ground..., the smooth cute will be very chill and painful. But don't worry... you won't feel the slightest of pain. Your nerves' will be cute along with your whole body... and after that... all you will able to feel... is numbness, before falling like several chunks of meat steaks...'.
That's what a Real Magus is able to do unlike those subordinates of his, even after grouping they were not able to condense the air to protect the Troops. But, I'm not so helpless against the seemingly Lethal attack... if he thinks he can kill me with only this much effort, he is going to regret coming down. I didn't move from my place at all, I have no option actually. Even though I can somehow dodge the swirls coming from the front... I can't dodge all of them. They are too many and he must have thought to kill me with only one move... I immediately triggered a ring which was on my ring finger of the right hand. No! I'm not engaged, it is just meant to be worn on the ring finger. It is actually a 'Defensive Ring' that is more effective when put on the ring finger, the ring can be operated by a mage. But, I'm not a magus... Still, I can use it with the help of the accumulated mana of 'Mana Crystals' that I am carrying on my waist.
The ring is blue in colour and it instantly made a Blue layer of very Thick air around me as soon as I activated it. Well yes, it is also a 'Wind Elemental' Ring and uses 'Aerokineses' to defend its user. The Swirls made the Impact with the Shield with a huge force, as it has not only a sharp blade but it is also carrying a great momentum. I had to take a defensive stance, I moved my right leg slightly backward to deal with the force that was pushing me backward. The Wind Swirls were getting nullified after the impact and the air it carries were being gasified, back to its normal density. The Ring I am carrying is not an ordinary one, it can withstand the attacks which are Ten times' lethal than this Wind Swirls. Now, he begins attacking me from every direction... He must be looking for an opening.
After several minutes' of attack, he finally stopped! I Deactivated the Defensive Ring, there is a thick cloud of dust around me... But as I put my defense down, Two pairs of 'Wind Swirls' came towards me from the right and left with a speed much greater than before. The target is obviously me, but specifically my neck and belly... it is coming for my head, he wants to cut me in three pieces' and most importantly to make sure I will die, he deliberately attacked me with two pairs to try to fool me of thinking it is only two Swirls of Wind but it is, in fact, Four Swirls' coupled in Two to make it hard and strong enough to actually cut my bones... We werewolves have very strong and dense bones, unlike those humans. Our skin is also tougher and can't be cut easily with only a bare strike of sharp weapons, every strike entails the use of Mana. He chooses this exact opportunity to Kill me when the thick dust is still around me and I can't see him... but, did he forget that he can't see me either.
I instantly jumped and flipped myself horizontally in a way that both Pairs of 'Wind Swirls' pass from my top and bottom without even touching my hair and cloth... But I instantly trigger a Dark blue Ring which is on the ring finger of my Right hand, before the Wind Swirls could pass further from my reach. It is an 'Interception Ring' that is able to cut the connection of the user and its Magic that is outside his body, like the 'Wind Swirl' and thus... it is able to steal the Mana and give it to a new user to control. But the ring is not so flexible to use every time because the mana it requires is in a very huge amount and the cooldown time is almost half an hour, by that time you will be already dead to use it a second time... I caught both pair of Wind Swirls in the air and as I landed... I throw them both towards the direction where it came from. A quick counter-attack...
"Arrgghh...." *Howling in pain*
I came out of the dust... and saw the Magus crying in pain. But, there aren't any visible cuts nor his clothes seem to be hit by that counterattack... because it is still early. In a moment the clothes' covering the part of his arms fall on the ground. A streak of blood appears on both sides of his shoulder, he falls on his knees due to the immense pain... and as his knees touched the ground, both of his arms fell on the ground. Streams of blood flowed down from both sides of his body, he struggled to look towards me. "I piety those who are Weak, but Foolishness disgusts me..."
I have actually saved a Wind Swirl out of four in case I may need them... But, I was overthinking. His strong build was just for the show and he can't even dodge a single attack. I had thought he will be a strong opponent for me, but who knew that his brain is lacking besides being one of the senior Magus in Daemon land... I controlled the 'Wind Swirl' and cut his neck... He fell on the floor but without his Head. His head is still in the air, it is levitating due to Wind Swirl.
"Huh? He died just like that!" Hugo said in disbelief, after the dead body of Magus fall on the ground. He is still holding the prince in his right hand, the prince is already unconscious by the 'Shadow Nerf' and he will not come into sense anytime soon.
**Now with Disappointment(optional)** "yeah...! just like that~ woof...!" *oof! sound* *Disappointed* "Ahh! silly me...,*facepalm* I shouldn't have used the power of the Rings... Wasted...! *sigh* it would have been better, if I had fought him with my 'Blade Knuckles'..." I threw the head of the Magus in the air, to let it pass through the hole that he has made himself to come down inside the Underground Tunnel...
Everyone on the surface were fighting savagely, but we were still dominate and the enemies' Troops were grouped in the circle. They were circled around the Hole which the Magus has made and were actually trying to protect the Prince and Mage... They are now only ten in numbers and our warriors' have overwhelm them in just few minutes. On the contrary, the magicians' were still fighting with all their might without loosing any member... But little did they knew, that our Elites' are only just playing around with them. They are still very weak and can't even stand against one Elite Werewolf.
A head appeared on the surface... an Enemies' troop who was constantly looking back at the hole in hope that the senior Magus will come and save all of them looked back in excitement... But soon his excitement turned into a grave horror...! He was speechless for the moment and after few seconds he exclaimed in shock "He is Dead!~"
