Air molecules and wind particles quickly form around Rina's hands and feet — a unique spell among elves to manipulate wind; forming it in one place then using it to cut things like pressured water do, while improving the user's flexibility and speed.
Secondary pioneer of the Freedom Group: Rina Wenswood.
"Wall."
Don stomped his foot on the ground, creating an ogre height and 10 meters length wall in front of him. Not strong enough to withstand a normal lance attack, but enough to slow down the leading Rina and her wooden stick, Don thought.
woot
"Hey there handsome!"
A voice can be heard above Don; it's Rina. By using flexibility, momentum and her natural stamina; she easily did a backflip over the 2,5 meters tall stone wall, passing directly over Don's head.
crash
"Look here!"
This time, it's Marc who leads the formation — his iron sword turns into an obsidian color when he sliced through Don's 6 centimeters thick wall. His blonde hair flew and fluffed through the air rapidly as the cold breezes hit. The stone wall got cut down in a single slash, allowing the rest of the team to follow up.
clack
Rina's boots touch the ground as she landed. She then keeps on running.
Don, not minding that and also doesn't mind fighting three at once. Immediately turned his fists into a rock and struck it towards Marc.
"He's mine" Pearl from the back whispered.
Just before the fist hit Marc's blade, he and Mei duck down and dash to the side to dodge it — leaving space for Pearl to go in, also turning his wooden staff into stone and clashing it with Don's fists.
"■■■■" Pearl opened his mouth to say something towards Mei and Marc, but no sounds were given out. At that point he notices Don's mana rising up. 'Did he stopped me from speaking?'
'You're not a no-brain tank it seems.' Pearl thought as he fell back a bit. They have no information on Don but Pearl can safely assume he's a guy using stone magic and sound magic, cutting the sound wave leading out so that Pearl can't speak; or he did but the sound wouldn't lead to any ears. Don isn't a fighter, he's a mage with muscles. By using stone magic to cover his body, plus with his raw strength, it's enough to break some jaws.
Sound magic is a rare one, manipulating sounds can make stealth missions and infiltrations a piece of cake, while also communicating far-distances. Shame Don isn't the leader due to how taciturn he is, otherwise he can give out commands immediately without the enemy team knowing.
"Don't let him crush your skull, be safe." Mei said as she and Marc continue running
The other SSSs are staying still, especially Nea, the girl with glasses; she's standing the farthest among the three from Marc's team.
"Barack, the elf." Alize said, charging her bow again with water arrows and aiming it at Rina. But she doesn't seem to be using Bird's Eyes, probably a one-time thing with high mana cost.
"You go."
Rina is running towards the basement trapdoor, her mission was to rescue Esmeralda while the other held everyone back. Water arrows are constantly being fired towards her; she doesn't understand how water can hurt her, if it's high-pressured water, surely it must have an insanely high speed, but yet this is normal arrow speed.
But arrows are still arrows, with her mana draining from using Wind Dance, Rina began to sweat as she used it combining with her natural good eyesights to dodge those long-range arrows with ease.
One more arrow flew towards her, she took a glimpse of the trajectory and prepared to dodge it.
"Archery Spell: Bird's Eyes."
The arrow, flying midair, immediately changed direction and aimed towards Rina's forehead.
"No way-" Rina noticed this and panic, as she uses her wooden bow, now a staff to hit the thing — as we know is useless against water. The arrow is only centimeters away from her forehead.
"Elemental Spell: Ice Form." Alize smirked.
The arrow switches from water to an icycle arrow immediately. It then struck Rina on her forehead, causing her to concuss and fall down, the arrow then breaking into pieces, after that some blood can be seen leaking out from her forehead, where the tip of the arrow hits.
"That's the last bit of mana I have, using loads of long-range spells is not my type you know." Alize said as she sat down on a rock nearby, heavily breathing.
Two temporarily out of the fight:
Rina Wenswood (semi unconscious) and Alize Frostinellie (out of energy/mana)
"Marc." Mei said as her and Marc dashed towards Barack.
"I see, trust her." Marc clenched his teeth.
Meanwhile…
"Hey Barack." Nea called out with her hands behind her back.
"You're done?" Barack turned around to look at her. In response Nea shook her head.
"I'm done with two mages, but need more on the blonde hair and iron armor guy and the elf."
Barack nods.
clank
Without even looking back, he blocked Marc's sword strike with his hand, metals can be heard clashing against each other. His sleeves were up to reveal a pair of sharp blades attached to both hands. The other hand he also blocked Mei's fire staff.
Unlike Don and Alize, who creatively use their strong points together as one, he just does whatever he does best.
"Marc, go get those two. I'll hold this beret guy." Mei said, hinting towards Alize and Nea.
"No one identify a person by what they're wearing, Miss Big Wizard Hat." Barack answered, as he put forces into his blades, pushing Mei and Marc back two steps.
"Elemental Spell: Year Zero." Barack put both of his hands on the ground, from the rubble he touched, ice began to crawl towards Mei, who immediately used fire magic to melt the thing. Which to no avail. Ice began crawling up her foot, leg, hips and covering her hands, stopping at her neck.
