Well I got the skill to beginner level 5. Each shield had 900 health now and I was able to create 5 of them at once. Also the mana cost for each one was 80 now. So each time I level it up, the health of the shield increases by 200, the number I'm able to create is increased by 1 and the mana cost decrease by 5. A was a bit overpowered I say...but considering how I have bad luck in facing creatures stronger than me. Well enough about my skills, I'm facing a bigger problem....
"AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH"
CRUNCH
Well the goblins are being wiped out right now by a giant rabbit...I kid you not, its actually a rabbit...I think. There were some slight differences such as the fact that its purple....I have no idea when or why its that colour. The second difference is that it is...well humanoid.
It looks like one of those old cartoons where the rabbit was mutated like in that movie with the curse of the wererabbit...and the final and most painful to me at least difference is that it eats other creatures. The rabbit known to not be carnivorous is eating other creatures and soon me. I of course am hiding right now, away form all of the danger but the mana detector in my hand is going haywire from the amount of mana coming from the rabbit monster.
"Looks like I have to face it." I commented.
The rabbit's ears twitched. Don't tell me it heard me. It started looking around. Yep it did.....have to run now! I jumped out of the entrance of the goblin dungeon and started running as fast as I can. I'm glad that I put some points into agility. Now it would be better if I could fly or something.
TAP TAP TAP TAP TAP
Tapping? That's really loud tapping I hear...and there's a bloody giant humanoid purple rabbit chasing after meeeeeeeeeee!
"Mana Shield times 5"
5 layers of the mana shield was produced around me. I should be fine. Yeah. No. Its probably going to crush it easily. I imagined a wall appearing in front of it blocking its path.
"Earth Wall."
A wall made of dirt appeared in front of it. Now to let it crash into it.
JUMP
Or it could just jump over it. Its a rabbit dur! I continued to run away from it, dodging the trees and such. Now I think about it, I haven't been using water magic a lot. Maybe it could be useful...but I can't think of any spells that involve water besides ice! And I can't use water magic without a large quantity of water as well. Damnit!
"Lightning Bolt!"
This is probably the most used spell so far but its handy but kinda useless since its weak in power. The rabbit brushed aside the lightning bolt using its arm and continued to chase after me like nothing happened. And it was catching up quickly! Damn my agility is still no high enough to escape from these overly powered monsters I've been facing recently!
Stamina has increased by 1
Now is not the time game, I'm being chased by a freaking GIANT RABBIT HERE!
LEAP
Crap its attacking now! I tried to dodge it but it still lands on me.
Mana Shield took 1351 damage
Mana Shield broke
And the first layer of my mana shield with it. I tried to make another one but the rabbit that was on me right now hit me using its paw.
Mana Shield took 4213 damage
Mana Shield broke
Crap that's a lot of damage in one hit! What level is this guy now! God damnit! This is all Crysero's fault. Eh its not doing anything to me right now. I was facing the ground right now so its hard to tell what's its doing but I think its observing its meal.....well me right now. I turned my head around to see the rabbit was drooling! Gross! It hit my Mana Shield again.
Mana Shield took 3124 damage
Mana Shield broke
And again.
Mana Shield took 3314 damage
Mana Shield broke
And again.
Mana Shield took 2416 damage
Mana Shield broke
There goes my defence. I'm going to get killed at this rate or eaten alive...you'll never know, so I have to risk it right now. I imagined the ground under me, yes under me being on fire....
"Fire Field" I said with the last of my strength.
You took 813 damage
You are on fire
You will take 3 damage per second
I'm down to 2102 mana now and thankfully the burning snake seal undid itself right now though I still don't really know the conditions this thing undo itself. Through the mana absorption skill I was gaining around 4 mana per second right now which barely offsets the burning damage I am taking right now.
"Gaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr"
The rabbit on me was screaming in pain. Good, now get off me. The rabbit leaped off me whom was still on fire trying to put out the fire on it was well. Oh! I though of a good water spell I can use just now. I imagined my body being covered in a protective layer of water.
"Water Veil"
My body was covered in a thin layer of water which also put out the fire which costed 20 mana. I got up from the ground and faced the rabbit which was still drooling! Something is definitely wrong with it. I wonder if its because of the power of the mana fragment.
The rabbit in the time I made the water veil managed to put fire on its body out by rolling on the ground. I guess it used dirt to put it out.
"Mana Shield times 5"
I reset my defences even though it was pretty useless against the rabbit before. Man if I get hit or caught by it once, I'm dead meat. I have to go on the offensive. I imagined a pillar of fire going to the rabbit.
"Fire Pillar."
A flame pillar appeared in the fire field I created and headed to the rabbit.
JUMP
And it dodges it. Yep, I just wasted mana here. Wait, what if I increase the size of the fire pillar? I imagined a tornado appearing consuming the fire pillar and becoming a fire tornado.
"Tornado"
A tornado appeared which was a bit bigger than the fire pillar I sent out. It moved into the fire pillar and became bright red. Well its a fire tornado. Its fire being blown around but I can control it which is good very good. I moved the fire tornado to home into rabbit. It was jumping around pretty well despite the fact that it was full bluffed up from the mana fragment. Well I guess it also increased its agility as well. Now to take the offensive.
"Lightning Bolt."
"Earth Spike."
It had no effect on the rabbit. Ice and water don't go well with fire so I'll just use the other elements. I was also acting a bit cautious since I barely have over 2500 mana now.
"Light balls"
I created the balls of light and moved them to the rabbit whom was still running from the fire tornado.
"Explode"
The balls of light exploded in the rabbit's face and stunned it for a bit. That was enough for my fire tornado to home in and consume the rabbit in fire. Man that spell cost way to much....I believe its 150 for the fire pillar and another 100 to summon the small tornado with 5 mana per second to maintain it for a while.
FUUUUSH
The rabbit pushed aside my fire tornado like it was nothing. SHIT! What kind of beast is this?!
"Earth Spikes times 5"
I tried to produce some Earth spikes under the rabbit but...
SMASH
It stopped the attack before it could even begin by smashing it.
JUMP
Shit! Its going to land on me again! No choice.
"Ice Field! Ice Tower!"
The ground that was on fire turned into ice immediately and a giant tower of ice appeared to hit the rabbit right in the chest. Yes! It seen effective....no It just did a back flip and dropped on the ground unaffected. In that case...I imagined the ice trapping the rabbit.
"Ice Prison"
This spell takes a lot mana but it is powerful. Ice started to climb onto the rabbit from the ground and the remainder of the ice tower. It couldn't move now. I smiled at this and started to add more ice on it.
"Ice Bolt. Ice Bolt. Ice Bolt."
I fired 3 ice bolts to the rabbit which hit it twice on its body and one on its right arm. The frozen effect was very apparent as there was small amounts of ice appearing on its body.
"GGGGGGGGGGGGGAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR"
Eh?
SMASH
Mana Shield took 5416 damage
Mana Shield broke
Mana Shield took 4213 damage
Mana Shield broke
Mana Shield took 6041 damage
Mana Shield broke
Mana Shield took 4135 damage
Mana Shield broke
Mana Shield took 7532 damage
Mana Shield broke
Shit! That thing just hit me and what the fuck?! It was trapped in my ice prison a second ago and it just broke through and smashed through my shields in one go. I need to set up my defence again.
"Mana S-Guah"
You took 1532 damage
It uppercut me. I coughed up some blood in the air. Crap, I can't move. I dropped back on the ground unable to move. The rabbit picks me up using its paws and....
CRUNCH
You took 3214 damage
And there goes the rest of my mana. Well time to be kicked out of the game.
CRUNCH
Ow! I'm dead already?! Why won't I get kicked out? Blood started draining form my body. My flesh and bones were being torn apart. The pain caused me to faint and awaken again to the pain. Then a message appeared.
5 Element Seal has been released. You will gain the following:
- Mana Limit has been removed
- All skills will increase by 2 rank in this state
- Seal on llyfr has been undone
Power flowed through my body. My eyes and the markings on my body burnt a golden colour for some reason. My mana instantly went to 100000 and it felt like I could anything right now. The force coming out of my body forced the rabbit's mouth open and my body dropped out. The rabbit, shocked by the surge of power leaped a couple metres away form me.
"Fire Pillar"
A gigantic pillar of fire was produced under the rabbit. Seriously it was at least 10 metres in diameter compared to my usual 1 metre diameter ones. The rabbit was pitch black from the spell but it was still alive. Man it must have a lot health for it to survive.
"Ice Tower"
Once more a gigantic version of my usual spells happened. It was 10 times bigger and probably 10 times stronger than my usual spells. The rabbit was hit up high in the air and blood was coming out of its body. The ice tower disappeared and the rabbit fell to the ground.
"Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr"
Damn it was still alive. Why was it alive?
[…...............Extract.........................]
Extract? The voice again. What do you mean extract? Suddenly my arm moved by itself. A sword was created in my hand and flew out to pierce the body of the rabbit that was definitely kept alive by the mana fragment. The sword was of a golden colour with some sort of writing engraved into it. It was around a metre long and the hand guard which was also gold in colour was 20 cm in width.
Blood poured out the sword wound. The rabbit fell face first to the ground, burnt black from my fire pillar and deformed from my ice tower.
You have levelled up

Ah so the rabbit is dead now and I levelled up 3 times! Yes! This new power is awesome! Then I noticed something coming from the dead rabbit's body. It was some sort of light....hmm? It was coming to me. The light went into my chest for some reason. I wonder if that light was the mana fragment. Anyway how do I report this to Warlic.
Cough
Eh? What's happening. My body is getting heavy.
You have died
Wait.....how did I die?
