Chapter 29
Randin and Grey were in the forest fighting against a beast when another one came in but this one was different as it could communicate than other beasts and it was incredibly strong as it proved that by whacking Randin away with its paws.
After hitting Randin away, the beast felt a sharp sound coming for it so it quickly moved away into Grey's Earth trap. After escaping it, two fireballs were seen heading its way.
"Time to match power with power!" The wolf spoke loudly into Grey's mind as it opened its jaws widely and out for it, two huge fireballs shot out towards the fireballs heading for it.
The two fireballs crashed into each other burning the air up and also burning some of the nearby tree branches. And causing smoke to spread everywhere almost covering everybody's view.
Then out of the smoke, a wind blade was seen heading for the wolf. Shooting out a laser beam from its horn, the blade broke but then a gust of wind blew the smoke away revealing Grey Infront of the wolf.
Then he swung his sword sideways towards the wolf who quickly used its tail to whack it down and then quickly climbed up the blade heading for Grey.
Thinking on his feet, he quickly used his wind magic to push him then he shot out a fireball towards the wolf who quickly shot out two fireballs that consumed Grey's fireball and were still heading for him.
Seeing the fireballs heading towards him, Grey quickly moved his hands in the air multiple times conjuring wind all around him that was surrounding his body.
He kept on moving his hands severally and finally, he thrust his hands outwardly causing all the gathered wind around him to move towards the fireballs crashing into them extinguishing them totally before they dispersed.
'Excellent! Not only can he use more than one magic, he thinks quick on his feet and he's magic isn't weak by any means.' The wolf thought when it suddenly heard movements coming from behind it.
Quickly moving sideways, it saw the dwarf it had hit away crashing into the ground where the wolf stood just moments ago.
'Darn! It's fast.' Randin thought as he quickly took out a dagger and threw it at the wolf but it quickly knocked it out of the air using its laser beam from its horn.
"Next time, do not underestimate me!" A voice was heard coming from behind the wolf as the temperature in the area went up by a few degrees and then, a fireball was shot at the wolf while its legs were stuck to the ground.
'When did he do all these?' The wolf thought as the fireball was about to crash into it.
Then it quickly shrank back in size causing the fireball to go over its head and then shooting a beam, it was free from the rocks as it quickly sped away from Grey and stood several feet away from him.
Then the wolf quickly grew in size.
'Darn it! How fast is this beast?' Grey thought as he looked the beast angrily. 'I'm running low on mana right here.'
"You are good, in fact better than most but too bad you are not strong enough to defeat me." The wolf laughed in Grey's mind.
"You are right, I'm not strong to defeat you because I have been using my abilities one at a time." Grey smirked.
"What do you mean?" The wolf asked.
"You will see…" He smiled as the ground started shaking to the extent Randin moved back a little bit away from the area as Grey had already signalled to him to move away.
With a burst, a huge rock that looked like a mini car erupted from the ground and right in everybody's eyes, it was being broken and shaped into something.
'What is this mage doing?' The wolf thought excitedly.
In a split second, the huge rock turned into a very sharp, long, and heavy arrow. Within a second, the rock arrow erupted in flames as the flames roared around it burning it brightly.
While doing all these, Grey's hands were raised and then with a smirk, he threw them forward.
"For the last ingredient, Aerius ultra!" He shouted as a huge strong burst of wind hit the bottom of the arrow propelling it forward at a speed that seemed impossible to dodge.
Seeing the arrow heading for it, the beast shot out three laser beams in panic but it didn't work. Then it shot out four huge fireballs but it only added to the flames surrounding the arrow.
And before it could do anything else, the arrow slammed into the beast with a bang that wind was blown everywhere, trees were uprooted for miles to go and the ground beneath where the wolf stood earlier broke.
Grey after releasing the attack, fell on his knees in pain as he held his chest while heaving in and out.
'That took all my mana to cast. Combining all my abilities like that on that amount of scale, is not easy feat. And I was able to perform it because I am now a 2 star mage.
If I had tried that when I was still a 1 star mage, I would have destroyed my mana core. But no ordinary 2 star mage can perform this feat, my saving grace was that my affinities in the magic were quite high.
If that doesn't kill it, then we are screwed.' Grey thought as he kept on panting and finally, the smoke and dust settled.
And the wolf was seen standing strong with its fur scorched and burnt and its horn slightly cracked while black blood was dripping down its body as burn marks could be seen all over it.
Seeing that the wolf was still alive, Grey clicked his tongue and held his sword tightly while Randin had managed to come over to his side as they gripped their sword tighter too.
"Relax! I'm not fighting you anymore, rather I want something else." The wolf spoke directly into Grey's mind.
"Something else? What is that?" Grey asked as his interest in the wolf had suddenly been piqued.
"I want to become your companion, I want to attach myself to you."
