In the upcoming battle, Oruvan tries his best to learn their tactics as he knows about the creature's ability to attack in strategy formation. He understood his position is to work under tension to save the lives of both in a short time.
…
From my observation, the Vylers only can use ice magic.
I hide behind the bush and observe their attack. The Vyler are strong and hard to kill. I manage to get in a position that would be their blind spot. My plan is simple. Kill the leader.
"The one at the back must be it!" a thought crossed my mind when I saw the suspicious one at the back was trying to take cover at the back.
An invisible wind magic shoots with a high velocity, penetrating through the Vyler's head. With a hole in its brain, it died immediately.
Suddenly, the other Vylers notice me and change their positions. They started to attack Leo and I with their new formation. As I already knew from the gift of knowledge, this creature will use their last resort when their leader has died.
The enemy started to put an ice wall to defend themselves.
Their attack speed is so fast that even Leo could not catch up with his speed. Their attack seems not to be as strategic as before.
"Arghhhh!!! This is stressing me out." I shouted.
Maybe I should try to copy their magic wall. I put my hands on the ground controlling it to put a barrier on that injured person and Leo that is worse. I take the challenges to fight them alone.
I put Elijah, Leo and that injured guy behind me after moving them with earth magic. I control the earth to hold their body and bring them here.
After that, I made a barrier similar to theirs. Their attack was futile and did not penetrate this barrier as it was made using earth.
I could easily kill them off but I want to try to learn their ice magic first. I took the ice that was stuck on my earth barrier and felt the coldness of ice magic.
I could feel their magic upon my palm. As I close my eyes, I can feel the blue particles following my hand move.
I took the time to control this ice magic and had a splendid idea.
Suddenly, one sharp ice got through and fortunately did not hit anyone.
I am flabbergasted. I can't believe they managed to attack through my barrier.
"What the...?" I take a peep and see they are combining power. They attack on one single point and decrease the size of the ice.
"Seems like you have learned something new" I gaze at the enemy. The Vyler is a very dangerous species that can analyze an opponent's attack and defend. Just now he copies my wind magic style that is strong enough to one shot their boss. Now they are making an ice bullet to attack us.
"Brother, hurry up! Leo is not well." Elijah shouted for help.
I have forgotten about Leo and that person.
"Just a sec. I will deal with it in no time." I told him to be patient so I could handle the enemy.
As I learn their ice magic, I will use my serious mode to handle them. I step out and face them without protection. As I don't want them to attack the barrier as it is not functioning anymore.
The Vylers get agitated and launch a big amount of icicles at me.
"Too bad. Your ice is not working anymore!" I already know how to expert magic manipulation. The ice turns into water as it crushes into my mana zone. It works like an invisible barrier.
I raise my hands slowly and target all of them together. Their body is floating and crumpled as I use my blood manipulation magic on them.
"As long as you have blood and water in your body, I can control you with ease!"
Their bodies slowly arise as I manipulate from the liquid inside their body.
"It's working! This power... It's magnificent!" I gave an evil laugh till the Vylers got scared of me and I immediately ended their life. I'm not a psycho to look at living things like them to suffer. But it feels like something resides inside my body. Dark and evil feelings.
My body got exhausted from a long fight as I also did not take a long rest from this morning.
I slowly walked to Elijah who was taking care of Leo.
I know I have reached my limit and I would die if I used more magic on them, but it is my fault for getting obsessed about magic. I don't have any choice if I want to save them.
I should conserve my magic earlier but it's already happened.
While trying to stand properly, I pointed my hand on them and put an area effect of healing magic.
"It works. Thank goodness" I smile faintly.
I imagine if the healing could be used in a circle like other types of magic. Gratefully, the things work just what I had expected.
I fall and feel my life is getting sucked out. The fatigue makes my body feel heavy. I remembered Lady Ellis's words about my mana pool. Maybe I drained all my magic.
Suddenly, Elijah held my hand. "Brother? You are injured badly. You should stop using magic!"
I ignored Elijah's word and restored their wound. "I'm fine. It's going to be alright."
I hope he will learn something from me. I wish he could follow in my footsteps to be a good person.
Finally, I could see Leo and that injured man is slowly recovering. I think that would be enough.
I wondered how I could conjure healing magic after a few attempts. Maybe I should give it a try using other elements too in the future.
"But I guess this will be my last day here. I'm sorry Elijah." a thought came to mind and I gazed at him.
I gave my last smile to him before I passed out.
