Chereads / The Path Of A Mage / Chapter 195 - Soloing

Chapter 195 - Soloing

Diane's lifeless body had just fallen to the ground, separated into two different parts which had fallen away from each other. Internal organs in the body were spilling out, more blood staining the already bloody battlefield, her eyes still open and filled with colour, like she never expected what happened next.

The colour in her body began to leave, returning to the environment and making it go back to how it was.

Nikki saw Diane's body parts and dropped to the ground, tears in her eyes and her hand over her mouth. They had become good friends after Cat died and Nikki had watched how Diane trained endlessly just so she could get stronger and help others. Her life had been taken from her in the blink of an eye and no one had seen in it coming.

An expression of pure shock was on the faces of Kyle, Smith and Kevin and Anna had shapeshifted into a beast with six arms, a horn on its head and two long tails.

Saban was standing not too far away from both halves of Diane's body, blood covering his arms halfway up his forearms, dripping from his long claws. His claws were already bloody before killing Diane but now he had fresh blood on his body.

Rheya looked at the body parts that had fallen, then looked at Saban. Her golden eyes flickered with an emotion that couldn't quite be described and the staff in her hand glowed brighter. She had not done much during the fight because she thought the humans could handle it and she did not need to get involved but she had very clearly been wrong. None of them could keep up with the six-tailed wert and that was the biggest advantage it had.

The aura surrounding her changed immediately as she ran head first towards Saban, chanting a spell as she did so.

"Sol dermitte nio oemer evoy eifyl"

Saban turned around to see a lady in a cloak running towards him with a staff which had a small ball of blue light hovering at the top. Her golden eyes glowed fiercely but Saban was unfazed and prepared to use his magic again.

"What is she doing?" the monarch shouted as he began running from his position.

The sound barrier was broken again and Rheya had stopped moving, her right hand holding the staff upwards as though she had just used it to slice through something like a sword.

Saban was behind her and he had also stopped moving. He seemed disoriented for a short while before he raised his hand up to touch a part of his neck that was glowing slightly blue for some reason.

He was certain he didn't feel any pain of any sort and he had definitely attacked Rheya so why wasn't she dead right now?

Rheya had attacked Saban with her staff but had caused no external damage to him. Her right arm which she used to hold the staff fell off from the rest of her body and the staff slipped out of her hand.

A whooshing sound was heard and Rheya was seen charging at Saban from in front of him, chanting another spell.

Saban was confused because he was certain he had just delivered an attack to her before and she was behind him so how was she running at him from his front right now?

Before running towards Saban after he killed Diane, Rheya had casted a spell to release a clone of herself to rush forward and attack Saban. She wasn't stupid. She had seen his speed and seen what he was capable of doing so she needed to be smart about how she attacked him. And because she can cast spells unlike the rest that have specific magical abilities, she can attack in the most diverse ways that he'll never see coming.

The arm that had been cut from Rheya's body was now disintegrating into particles and the body was disintegrating as well. The real Rheya charged towards him and when she was close enough she vanished and appeared behind Saban, instantly hitting him with the top of her staff before vanishing again.

The spot where Rheya had hit on Saban's back was now glowing with a faint blue light and it was very slowly moving, inching towards the slightly glowing part of his neck.

Jake was not going to stand idly by and watch someone else fight a six-tailed wert all alone. He vanished and appeared where Rheya had just left, using the fact that Saban would not be expecting him. He hit Saban right in the chin, giving him an uppercut which sent him a couple feet into the air.

The monarch immediately jumped high up above Saban and brought his scythe down hard on Saban's left wing, cutting off with much effort.

Saban fell to the ground, still feeling disoriented with whatever it was that Rheya had done to him that was still slowly spreading across his body.

He let out a loud shout which sounded more like a roar and positioned himself with one knee on the ground. Another sonic boom was heard as he broke the sound barrier and headed upwards but suddenly stopped in the air for a second and in that second, Jake and the monarch had jumped up to reach him and while Jake punched Saban's chest which was facing him, the monarch used the scythe to pierce his shoulder.

Sky had used his magic to freeze Saban in time but due to his magic strength, he was only able to freeze Saban for a second but that second was enough for them to deal serious damage to Saban.

After Saban broke out of the influence of Sky's magic, he kept moving upwards but a large thunderbolt appeared in the sky, striking Saban directly, burning past his scales and affecting his whole body.

The eyes of the beast Anna had shapeshifted into was filled with lightning moving violently as the thunderbolt came to a stop.

Jake took this opportunity and appeared underneath Saban, grabbing his tails as it reached his arms length and began hitting him on the ground, swinging him from side to side. He finally threw him towards the monarch when he saw something that brought extreme joy and satisfaction to him.
