Arcanum Jungle. On the high ground.
"First cloud spell, rank 1 recovery." Szyi exclaimed. Green rings were formed and attached to all of them. As they just finished a fight, all of them needed to rest and recover. As a support, Szyi knew that this was the best timing to use her spell.
After the green ring attached to Alvin, he felt himself recovering fast. Indeed, support class was very important to a team.
"This principal, uses cloud items on us." Elaine crossed her arm and grumbled a bit.
"You know this cloud item?" Alvin tilted his head and asked. Alvin read about the cloud items collection book, but there was no cloud item with the function of changing the landscape.
"I don't know. But it must be the effect of cloud items. There isn't anything else that could change the landscape like that." Elaine shook her head and explained.
In this world, cloud spells were known for their attack ability. Only cloud items had such special effects on the environment. For example, the cloud item, Reshuffle could randomly teleport people to other places.
Of course, all the cloud items came with a price. Alvin's storage ring needed gems to open up more space. It was the same with other cloud items.
"Mr Kael is probably seeing us from somewhere now." Alvin raised his head and looked at the sky.
"I noticed something just now. I must point out that it is landscape changing, not teleporting. This means that we are being pushed out by the changing landscape. So, in other words, if we are faster than the landscape changing, it won't affect us much. We would be able to reach Eldrich." Charles analysed.
Hearing that, Alvin nodded his head, musing.
"So, there are two problems we have to overcome. The first one is the landscape changing, the second one is the wild beast." Alvin said. "The beast is easy to handle. After all, it is just a normal beast, not a cloud monster. But for landscape change, it is a bit tricky"
"I have a plan, attack." Jack said as he looked at the Eldrich at a distance. "For the landscape problem, we solve it using stamina. Every cloud item has its own requirement and limitation,I don't think that cloud items can be used so many times. If we are somehow faster than the usage or limitations of the cloud items, we will win."
"Ya." Alvin and Charles nodded.
"Lets do it" Elaine raised her fist high and said.
Szyi nodded her head.
With the effect of Szyi's first cloud spell, all of them recovered well. Their cloud energy and stamina were back to the best condition.
"This way." Jack looked at Eldrich and said.
Then, they darted toward Eldrich academy. Last time, they were running on their own, without any strategy or formation. They thought that it was an easy test.
Now, after encountering the landscape changing and the beast attack, they were running in a formation. Knight at the front, mage in the middle, support at the center.
In the jungle, they were running at high speed.
Jack raised his hand and looked at his watch.
"Remaining time one and a half hours" Jack shouted.
Charles jumped down from a tall tree and landed in between them. As the only archer in the team, Charles had a great eyesight. He was responsible for pointing out the direction. On and off, he would climb up a tree and check their direction.
Under normal conditions, Charles wouldn't climb trees to look for the direction. Yet, his view was blocked by the thick tree. The only way to find the right direction was by seeing it on a tree.
"Almost there. We probably will reach in 30 minutes" Charles said.
Alvin raised head and looked at the path ahead. Suddenly, he noticed the road rose.
* crackkkk
"landscape changing is coming." Alvin exclaimed, his gaze fixed at the road ahead.
"Everyone holds a hand" Jack instructed. He also noticed the landscape changing.
Almost instantly, five of them hold hands together. This was their plan. Under such an unknown circumstance, they decided to go through the test together.
Instead of retreating, they charged forward together, running up the road that was rising.
There were a lot of landscape changing, ine wave after another. By holding the hands together, they got throught them one by one.
"The beast is coming." Charles shouted as he noticed a bear running towards them.
Now, they were spending most of their energy on handling the landscape changing. The road ahead was high, liked a huge wave in the ocean. Jack was trying get pass the rising road. All of them tried to balance themselves. It was dangerous if the bear came near to them.
Alvin squinted his eyes and took a deep breath.
"First cloud spell, rank 1, wind blade" Alvin exclaimed and cast a wind blade. As the attack mage in the team, Alvin wanted to stop the bear from coming near them.
"Second cloud spell, rank 2, damage increase." Szyi added a damage increase for Alvin
With the power of Szyi's second cloud spell and Alvin's years of practise in the wind blade, a 70 cm wind blade was shot to the bear. Instantly, the bear got knocked back and defeated.
Seeing the bear get defeated, Jack squinted his eyes.
"Alright, now, everyone jumps." Jack exclaimed. He swung his arms and threw everyone in the air.
When everyone was in the air, Jack also jumped high.
"Second cloud spell, rank 2, fire wall." Jack exclaimed. A huge wall was formed.
Normally, Jack would build the wall in front of them to block the enemy. However, this time the wall was behind them and there was no flame on it.
As the wall was formed, the wall moved and pushed those in the air for them to overcome the wave of landscape changing.
Fortunately, their actions worked. All of them managed to overcome the wave of landscape changing.
Now, the good news was the landscape change stopped. Yet, they landed in between a group of beast. There were tiger, lion, bear and elephants.
Without uttering a words, they instantly got in their formation with support in the center.
