In front of her very eyes, a tornado rose up in the center of the mall.
With a loud and deafening roar resembling a freight train or Jet, it shattered the eardrums of most people and even flung some into the air, Their bodies ravaged by the sharp and cruel winds. The debris from the dungeon opening flew into the air, and the tornado flung them everywhere, taking even more lives.
[Skill: Protection of Light(A) has been activated.]
Elaine was quick to respond, she activated a barrier-type skill that repelled the sharp winds and blocked the Debris flying toward them. It not only saved themselves but also the people in the area they were.
“Kyaa!”
“Help!”
The terrified screams of the people resounded In Sabrina and Elaine’s ears.
“Sabrina! We need to go save Mary! She’s just a normal person!”
Elaine shouted from behind…struggling to hold the barrier up. It was expected, she didn’t have her items and gear, and the skill she used was far above her current rank. She couldn’t maintain it long enough without her gear.
Eventually, the barrier fell…And the gusts of wind assaulted them.
“hey Do that again!”
“Save us!”
The people from behind, who were previously protected By Elaine’s skill pleaded. But it was all for naught. Elaine couldn’t do it again, not until she gathered enough Mana…and in this situation this was impossible.
Sabrina, who did have her gear on her because of the Spatial ring, equipped it immediately and set up a barrier herself.
[Mana Barrier(D) has been activated.]
Although a simple mana Barrier couldn’t compare to the Protection of Light, it was enough to ward off the immediate threat. Because Sabrina was the one that had erected it, it would last.
“Damn it!”
Sabrina exclaimed in despair. Her sight was on the raging Tornado in front of her… She was not mistaken. She saw two green lights inside it, A green light that exuded a savage intention.
They were like eyes…Eyes of a beast emerging from the Dungeon. A fierce and bloodthirsty Beast.
And then it came, the beast had emerged. The tornado terrorizing the center of the mall disappeared…and ‘it’ was seen in its place.
[ Eyes Of observance(B-) has been activated.]
Sabrina used her skill to identify the monster that had appeared, and it’s information appeared in front of it.
[Monster: Rogue Elemental.]
[Type: Wind Elemental]
[Rank: C- to C+]
[Description:
A Rogue Wind Elemental is a variation of the Wind Elemental that is a dangerous and unpredictable creature. Unlike the more controlled and balanced Wind Elemental, the Rogue Wind Elemental is untamed and chaotic, and its powers are often uncontrollable and destructive.
The Rogue Wind Elemental is larger and more menacing than a typical Wind Elemental, with a more aggressive and erratic demeanor. It has a more jagged or wild appearance, with sharper angles and more violent swirls of wind and clouds, contrasting the calm and serene appearance of a Wind Elemental .
In terms of abilities, the Rogue Wind Elemental is known for its destructive power. It can summon powerful gusts of wind, tornadoes, and other dangerous weather phenomena at will, wreaking havoc on the natural world and anything in its path. Its erratic behavior makes it difficult to predict its movements and its powers are often amplified by strong emotions or external factors, making it a major threat
A Rogue Wind Elemental is a force of chaos and destruction, representing the dangerous and unpredictable side of nature. It is a nearly unstoppable force that must be appeased or contained.]
Sabrina, as she received the information about the Monster…was horrified.
A C rank Boss monster had appeared in the middle of a mall, in a highly populated district of the city…and they weren’t strong enough to defeat it. More importantly, Sabrina sensed that the Elemental had isolated the mall which meant that they were trapped and reinforcements would take longer to come.
Seeing this all…She came to the most plausible conclusion.
As the Rogue Wind Elemental summoned Smaller Wind Elemental minions to wreak even more havoc, She shouted toward Elaine in the chaos.
“Elaine! Go and rescue Mary! I have my equipment So I’ll hold it off until Reinforcements come!”
“WHAT?! That thing is probably a C-rank monster! We can’t take it on together and you want to take it on Alone?!”
“JUST FUCKING GO!”
Elaine, although reluctant, ran off to find Mary. She had figured that it was best that she do that first quickly and then go support, Sabrina. and so she hurriedly went to find Mary…Whilst Sabrina was left alone to take the Rogue Wind Elemental down.
The monster started to destroy the surroundings And From the top floor of the mall. Sabrina fired three thunderbolts at it to attract its aggro.
[Thunderbolt(E-) has been activated.]
It was a weak skill but in the hands of a genius like Sabrina, who could manipulate mana as if it were her own limbs. It was deadly. 𝘳.𝑐ℴ
But this was the worst type of Matchup for her…She had the Elements of Darkness and Lightning at her disposal…She was unwilling to use Darkness due to it being associated with her own personal trauma. The only element it could use…was Lightning.
But Unfortunately, The Rogue Wind Elemental was extremely resistant to the element of Lightning.
She was now in a nearly unwinnable battle.
A bow made of lightning materialized in her hands, and her staff disappeared. Without hesitating she fired off multiple shots at the lesser Elementals, taking down as many of them as she could.
*SWHING!*
“UGH!”
Suddenly, a blade of wind grazed her, her quick reflexes and mana-enhanced body had managed to dodge it. The Rogue Wind Elementals’ attention was now on her solely.
Th roof above her collapsed, and while she moved away. She saw some civilians trapped beneath it, about to be crushed.
“Shit!”
[Thunderbolt has been activated]
She destroyed the rubble above and saved the people but the Rogue Wind Elemental attacked her during this…It sent multiple Wind Bullets at her. And although Sabrina managed to erect a Mana barrier, Some bullets still managed to hit her in the thigh and shoulder.
She descended to lower floors and gave the advantage of the High ground for the safety of the others. If she was here, its attack would hit her and only her.
But only when she stepped down…did she realize how large it was and how menacing it was when in front of her.
She summoned her spirit, The Darkclaw, which had gotten bigger and increased its rank.
And the two of them began to fight, the Darkclaw would fight the minor Elementals, whilst Sabrina health with the big bad boss.
*****
[Outside the Mall.]
Outside the mall, Members of the Silver Wolf guild had arrived, along with noisy reporters who should be caring for their own safety instead of a promotion.
“Excuse me, Team leader can you please inform us of the general situation.”
A female reporter asked the Team leader of a team of the Silver Wolf guild, A man with one eye, the other having a scar and a brutish face. He had silver-colored hair and was the younger brother of the silver wolf guild Guildmaster.
He was covered in Armour from Head to Toe, It was as if he was a Wolf Paladin. The beast guilds really had an obsession with looking like Beasts. The entirety of the guild members presents there were wearing Wolf related armor.
It was weird…but The guildmaster forced them too, So they couldnt really say anything about it. It was the theme of their Guild.
“The situation is stable, Our Awakened are doing their very best to dispel the Barrier, You have nothing to worry about. We will surely eliminate the threat soon enough.”
He answered, his voice was rough. But the reporter didn’t go away.
“What about the civilians trapped inside?”
“We are doing our very best to rescue them as soon as possible.”
The banter continued, the reporter asked all sorts of questions whilst the team leader tried his very best to Answer.
“Sir.”
Suddenly, an awakened from his team approached and called out to him. He gestured for the reporter to go away and although she didnt want to, The awakened from the Guild made sure to occupy her.
“What is it?”
He asked the guildmember.
“Sir, The smaller guilds are requesting permission to enter our area and help us in resolving the incident.”
“The smaller guilds? Why are they standing up to us? Have they forgotten who we are? Reject them.”
He said. He wondered why the smaller guilds, which were suppressed by the Beast Guild alliance headed by White Tiger started to act up. Had they forgotten themselves or did they think they were Twilight now?
“Sir…there’s a problem. Among them, Twilight has also requested permission to enter our area and help…”
“…fuck.”
He cursed. No wonder why they were so confident. They had Twilight backing them up.
‘…Brother told me to avoid angering Twilight…Damn, it.’
He thought in his mind. Wondering what course of action he should take. He was supposed to stall for as much time as well.
“Hold them for as long as possible. Don’t let them in…for a while.”
In the end, he came up with that idea, to stall for as long as possible, whilst thinking. His eyes fixed on the tornado surrounding the mall.
‘Hurry up brother.’
