Not being able to use fire was a problem, but no one said anything about not using cold and ice. Arad opened his jaw and flew at the swarm, unleashing a deadly wave of cold, frigid air. The moment the bugs noticed him, they realised it was already too late and they were now caught in the cone of his breath.
While it looked like Arad was the one unleashing the breath, he was, in fact, using Undine magic to strengthen his cold magic. The blast ended up wiping out the whole swarm in one swoop.
Arad looked at the falling, frozen mosquitoes and smiled, "That's what you deserve." He quickly looked back. "No rest for me, it seems, time to flee."
Another Terror Bird was heading his way, probably looking for the one Arad had killed earlier. The last thing Arad wanted was to keep fighting from one battle to another until he exhausted himself, so for now, he decided to skip everything and avoid all fights unless he was forced to fight.
