The head of the academy, impressed with Ignell's skills, had personally chosen him to join the small mission. He gathered with the other chosen wizards at the kingdom's castle, where they were briefed about the mission by the king himself.
Igneel eagerly accepted the offer, feeling a surge of excitement at the thought of finally being able to use his magic to defend innocent people. The Head of the Academy introduced him to the rest of the team, which consisted of several other wizards from the academy, as well as a group of skilled soldiers from the Kingdom's army.
Their mission was to protect the townspeople from the goblin forces that had been raiding nearby towns. The goblins were known for their ruthlessness, and the team was warned that they would face fierce resistance. The Head of the Academy gave them some advice and wished them the best of luck.
The team set off on their journey, riding on horseback towards the towns that were being attacked. Along the way, Igneel couldn't help but feel a sense of unease. This was the first time he was going to be using his magic in a real battle, and he wasn't sure if he was ready for it.
But he pushed those doubts aside and focused on the task at hand. When they finally arrived at the first town, they were greeted with chaos. The goblins had already begun their attack, and the townspeople were scrambling to defend themselves
He could see the devastation that the goblin forces had wrought on the nearby towns, and he knew that this was not going to be an easy fight. But he was determined to do his part, and to protect those who couldn't protect themselves.
The battle was fierce and brutal, but Igneel's training paid off as he unleashed his fusion magic spells on the enemy forces. His aurora tide healing magic kept his allies in the fight, while his chrono terra and eclipse blaze spells decimated the goblin ranks. He could feel the raw power of his dark magic fueling his spells, and it was both exhilarating and terrifying.
As the battle continued, Ignell's team found themselves fighting a fierce horde of goblin soldiers. The air was filled with the sounds of clashing swords and the cries of the wounded. Ignell had already used his fusion magic to take down several goblins, but he knew that he needed to conserve his strength for when it really counted.
Suddenly, a group of hobgoblins appeared on the battlefield, led by their formidable king. Ignell's team was caught off guard by the sudden appearance of these new enemies, and they were quickly pushed back.
Ignell could feel his heart pounding in his chest as he struggled to keep up with the onslaught of attacks. He unleashed his Chrono Terra magic, causing the ground to shake beneath the goblins' feet, but it was not enough to stop their advance.
As the battle raged on, Ignell's team found themselves pushed back to the outskirts of the town. The goblin army had them surrounded, and it seemed like all hope was lost.
But then, Ignell remembered the secret weapon that Frey had taught him. He quickly formed the Magic Circle and channeled his Eclipse Blaze magic. The black flames burst forth from his hands, illuminating the darkness with their eerie glow.
The goblins were taken aback by the sudden burst of dark magic, and Ignell seized the opportunity to charge forward. He slashed through their ranks with his sword, using his Aurora Tide magic to heal any of his wounded teammates along the way.
Finally, after what seemed like an eternity, the goblin army was defeated. Ignell collapsed onto the ground, panting and covered in sweat and blood. He had never been in a battle this intense before, and he knew that he would never forget the experience.
As the dust settled and the survivors tended to their wounds, the head of the mission approached Ignell. "Well done," he said. "You have proven yourself to be a true warrior and a valuable asset to the kingdom. We will need your skills again in the future.
