Chapter 16 - Enraged Leader

All the steel-furred monkeys mobilize, leaping toward Shantal's team. In response, Anna and Andy employ a combination of precision shooting and powerful elemental magic. Amidst the chaotic onslaught, Anna casts Triple Wind Tornado, Wind Arrow, and Whirlwind, while Andy counteracts with Ice Spear and Ice Blast, creating a formidable defense against the oncoming onslaught.

The battle unfolds in the skies, a clash between the determined defenders of the small kingdom and the trio riding on the leaves. The outcome remains uncertain as the forces engage in a magical confrontation high above the captive kingdom.

Anna, your Triple Wind Tornado looks so weak. Is your mana too feeble? Hahahaha," taunts Eva before demonstrating the true might of the spell. With a triumphant smirk, she unleashes a powerful Triple Wind Tornado, three colossal vortexes tearing through the sky and wreaking havoc upon the already fragile small kingdom. The once serene realm is now half-ruined.

Mindful of their temporary stay, Eva restrains the destruction, opting for a more targeted approach. Creating an array of ethereal swords in the sky, she aims to dispatch the remaining monkeys below swiftly. Each sword finds its mark, striking heads and hearts with precision.

Meanwhile, Shantal, not to be outdone, conjures a formidable attack, launching a Bazooka Inferno toward Oden, the golden fur gorilla. The explosive inferno hurtles through the air, aimed at subduing the kingdom's leader amidst the chaos of magical mayhem. The battle intensifies as the forces clash, and the fate of the small kingdom hangs in the balance.

Now, the furious leader, driven by anger, leaps into the sky, delivering a powerful punch that generates a formidable force directed at Shantal's team. Reacting swiftly, Shantal conjures a protective shield, the Water Barrier, in an attempt to deflect the oncoming onslaught.

However, unbeknownst to Shantal, the leader's attack carries an overwhelming force that proves to be too much for her Water Barrier to withstand. In a shocking turn of events, the barrier shatters, leaving the team vulnerable to the unrestrained power of the leader's strike. The impact sends them hurtling through the air, helpless as they descend towards the ground below. The battle takes an unexpected turn as the once-dominant intruders find themselves overpowered by the enraged leader of the small kingdom.

As they descended towards the ground, Shantal unfurled her flight magic, gracefully gliding down before conjuring a hand of water to catch both Andy, Anna and Eva. Despite their safe landing, scratches and wounds adorned their bodies, evidence of the perilous journey.

"Tsk! I underestimated the strength of that gorilla; it may be a mere force, but just look at the chaos we find ourselves in," Shantal pondered.

In an attempt to mend their injuries, Shantal harnessed the power of light magic, enveloping the trio in a gentle healing aura. With their wounds now tended to, they gathered themselves to face the formidable gold-furred gorilla.

The colossal creature emitted a deafening roar, echoing through the surroundings, and unleashed potent magic, causing Shantal's team to shudder at the sheer force. Suddenly, meteors descended from the sky, shattering the cage roots that bound them.

Undeterred, Shantal and her companions braced themselves for the imminent battle with the enraged gorilla, a formidable foe whose strength and magical prowess posed a formidable challenge.

Good heavens! Why is this gorilla so insanely strong?" exclaimed Eva in disbelief. In a bold move, she took to the skies, manipulating water to flood the entire small kingdom. The water formed a circular shape, submerging the area. Shantal, a skilled swimmer, positioned herself in the center, creating air bubbles for Eva, Anna, and Andy.

Oden, struggling in the water, grew furious, his movements restricted. Determined, he intensified the power of the meteorites he summoned. The meteors descended upon the circular water, creating a spectacular blast that sent ripples across the submerged kingdom.

As the circular water began to fade, more meteors continued to rain down. In a race against time, Shantal worked tirelessly to sustain the air bubbles, but the water gradually vanished. The remaining meteors collided with the ground, resulting in a colossal explosion that added a dramatic flair to the unfolding chaos. The once-submerged kingdom was now a battleground of magical forces and explosive spectacle.

In the blink of an eye, Oden unleashed a fierce assault on Shantal's team, hurtling towards them with unmatched strength. His kick landed with a powerful force, sending all of them soaring through the air before crashing into houses with a resounding impact.

Undeterred, the four scrambled to their feet, fueled by the urgency of the impending threat. As Oden conjured golden fur needles with malicious intent, the team swiftly formulated a plan to counter his attacks. Anna, embracing the element of air, darted to the right, conjuring a bow made of wind energy. The arrows zipped through the air, aimed at Oden, only to be deftly intercepted by his golden fur needles.
