An ominous field of aura manifested the clearing with the knight's captain as the epicenter. The thick gathering of mana around him created a heavy pressuring atmosphere that even Kaizer and Elissia are struggling to withstand.
The knight's captain is now looking like an angelic being wearing a full silver armor. Even the armor itself emitted aura as the condescending mana manifested in the material of the armor which seems to be a good conductor of mana.
"What is this thing? Just by it's mana amount, I can already tell that our chance of winning against it is very slim." Elissia said with expression full or concern.
"Now we don't have a choice expect of fighting it. We should fight as one here and neutralise whatever tactics and ideas that might give us a chance to win against this." Kaizer plainly said.
'No doubt, this power is somewhat similar with the angels in my old world. I don't really know what power they possess, all I know is that they have wings and use holy powers, energy or whatever.' He internally said to himself. He never heard any angels or angelic beings existed here in this world Base on his gathered knowledge. Even the word religion and gods doesn't exist too. But he don't doubt that the appearance of their opponent is really like the angels of his previous world with the golden holy presence and the golden white pair of wings.
"Can you still hold your dragonoid form?"
"Of course, I still have a plenty amount of mana in my reservoir."
"Then let's do this. You focus on close quarter combat while I'll support you and attack in the back."
Elissia agreed to him with a nod and the materialised her long broadsword of ice. She bursted forward with a stance ready for attacking and defending. While Kaizer set the ground around him in flame and made a number of small fireball orbiting him as a shield to intercept any attack and a also a form of attack to launch it to his enemy when he come near.
He made 10 fireball flew past Elissia at a fast speed to attack the knight's captain. An auricular sword of holy energy materialised in his hands and swatted out of existence the incoming fireballs with one swing of his sword.
Elissia bursted again midair when she found an opening just after her enemy intercepted Kaizer's attack. She swung her sword vertically from atop of her head down to her enemy's neck but the inhuman reflexes of the knight's captain cancelled her attack by blocking it with another newly materialised sword on his other hand.
He was about to moved his other free sword and stab Elissia on the side but she immediately sprung out of his range by pushing herself away by her sword. Another hail of Fireballs rained down at the Knight's captain and this time it finally hit it's target without being swatted away.
His figure was hidden by the smokes of explosion and when the smokes vanished, it showed that the silver armor was heavily damaged by the explosion and was still scorching like a hot melting iron creating holes into the armors revealing the toned body of the Knight's captain. It's scratched but unwound.
It seems like the attack was strong enough to damage the armor but not the skin of the knight's captain. Bulging veins of golden whites can be seen on his body as if his blood was golden lights instead of red.
Knowing how resilient the body of their enemy, the two instantly knew that sneaky attack like it will not heavily damage him. They should at least land a strong one or Elissia's magic ice sword.
Kaizer intensified his concentration as he hovered bigger fireballs near Elissia. The knight's captain flapped it's magical wings of holy essence and rapidly neared the hovering Elissia. One of the fireball flew forward to intercept him but instead of it being sliced the the auric sword, it exploded before it could even be slashed and it's fragment set the wings and body of the knight's captain in fire.
Before it could even flapped it's wing or wriggle it's body to extinguished the potential flame, The ice sword of Elissia sliced his chest and She kicked him in the abdomen to sent him crashing down on the scorching flamed ground.
"Did it work?" Elissia said after he hovered close to Kaizer and they both stared with wariness towards the burning crater created by their crashed enemy.
"Not quite yet. It damaged him for sure but I don't think that's enough." He replied.
Another explosion of force trembled the clearing and extinguishing the flaming ground. The still smoking crater revealed the marching figure of their enemy who seems damaged but unfazed.
The wings had taken damaged but because of its magical component, it recovers quickly. But the same cannot be said to his body. Gore of burned spot of flesh spread randomly on the top less body of their enemy. The damage looks seriously grave but pain cannot be detected on his passive expression. Like he's just a doll being manipulated by something.
"It's like he's not alive anymore but still moving. He's been inanimate but a new soul or something is occupying and controlling his body." Kaizer said.
"Then this is definitely not a wills ability. It's something more bizarre. Perhaps, this phenomenon is new." Elissia said.
No matter what is this. It should be eliminated. "Let's go!" Kaizer then set the ground again in flame. The enemy hovered fast easily avoiding the rapid crawling flame below. He was met by a horizontal swinging ice sword by Elissia which he parried with two sword.
A fierce sword match midair begun with the intervention of Kaizer's fireballs hitting the knight's captain whenever he shows an opening for Kaizer.
The battle set the clearing into a chaos, ground burned and scarred and trees nearby eaten up by the flames.
The knight's captain flew away from Elissia who's still followed him and delivered a fierce sword thrust. The knight's captain held his sword with one hand and used magic to enforce his attack and successfully swat Elissia's sword.
Elissia retreated to analyse her enemy's sudden change of fighting style but as soon as she stabled her hovering, a golden ray pierced her shoulder which made her dropped her ice sword. A kick in her stomach by the knight captain sent her crashing down on the ground and wincing in pain.
Kaizer sense the dread as the captain settled his gaze on him after he sent Elissia crashing down with his kick. He held himself strong and squeezed his every bits of concentration and materialised countless fire balls around him and made it orbit him at a fast pace.
The knight captain charge down on Kaizer. As he neared him, and tried to slash the fast orbiting fireballs but it was futile. It seems that for every fireball he eliminate, a new one materialised and replace it.
He finally stopped and it can be seen that he is channeling his mana and surrounded himself by it. 'He's creating a barrier? Wait!' Before Kaizer could even formulate an action against the movement that he predicted the knight's captain would do, the captain charged in on Kaizer's flaming sphere of orbiting you fireballs.
His holy spherical barrier that he covered himself with ignored the blasting force of the impacting fast fireballs. Kaizer still held his concentration strong despite of the predicament he's in now.
Before the captain could even reach him and pierce him with his sword, all the fireballs stop orbiting and was redirected towards the knight captain. A bright light and deafening sound of explosion resounded throughout the Gashnor forest as Kaizer's countless fireballs met the knight captain's holy spherical shield.
