Meanwhile, Mira is fighting the Black Fire.
Mira had driven it away from where her friends were. Now she can fight at full strength, with no worries.
It was following her, setting everything in its path ablaze.
They are in an open part of the forest. Which by now half of it was burning. It was still raining, but it seemed that the fire produced by the Black Fire wasn't going out.
Mira looks at it intensely. Trying to find a weak spot.
Without a word it attacks. It points its hand at Mira, where blue fireballs come out flying.
Mira too raises her hand, creating a water shield from the rain. The fireballs hit the water shield, which devolves quickly leaving behind the mist.
It then launches itself at her, fire coming from its feet, using them as rockets.
It goes to grab her, but when it does, it falls right throw.
Mira still standing there. Angry now it swings its hand releasing huge fire waves. They again pass right throw Mira, but in the distance, it seems that the flames hit something. It was Mira.
It looks back at the Mira in front of it, only to see her disappear.
“ I see. You used a wide area attack to counter my illusion. You are smarter than you look.” Mira praises it. But despite her remark, she was injured. That attack got her.
Giving her no time a magic circle appears below her. She quickly rolls out of the way. Just in time, as a pillar of flames came off the ground.
She points both hands towards her opponent. Magic circles appear from both of its sides. One shooting lightning, while the other shoots water.
Raising its hands, it creates two flame walls to protect itself. After the attacks hit it throws the walls at Mira. Mira copies it and she makes two water ones, blocking the attack. Mist is created again.
Now with the two veils of mist combined a heavy mist falls on the field. Covering it whole.
It tries to attack, throwing random attacks. But with no success. It gets angry. Screaming, a blue fire starts to gather around it, creating something like a cocoon. It then explodes. Blue fire is released in a malice, burning the entire area. The mist disappeared. It was vaporized.
Mira lying cold on the ground. Her heat spell protecting her from any fatal wounds. But she is still hurt.
It goes closer to her and picks her up by the neck. It seems that she is still breathing. Fire gathering in its palm, ready to finish her off. But it hadn't realised that it fell right into her trap.
This whole time she had been chanting a spell. When the Black Fire had caught her, it was the best time to use it. In this distance, she wasn't going to miss.
She raises her hand, touching it on its forehead. A magic circle appearing on it. While it is confused Mira kicks it, something which made it drop her. She then quickly runs away from the spot.
It goes to follow her, but then suddenly, the rain stops as it was falling. The drops froze in their place. It can only look around trying to understand what's going on. But its target is getting away. It focuses on her and goes hunting her. At that moment the raindrops start forming dozens of water lances. All pointing to it. It raises a fire shell to protect itself. But the lances destroy it and pierce its body.
“ Pluvia Jaculum” Mira mutters out.
It isn't dead yet. It still stands on its feet. The lances piercing its body.
Mira doesn't look at it. She turns around and starts to leave. It makes a scream, but she isn't bothered.
A lightning falls from the sky and onto the Black Fire. The water lances react with the lightning making a chain reaction. Completely destroying it.
Where the monster stood, now was nothing. I had dissolved into the air as soon as it died.
“ Few! I didn't expect Pluvia Jaculum to work. It has such a long casting time. Thank god that monster was stupid enough to fall for the illusions.” she says as she walks away.
Her feet suddenly give up on her and she falls on her knees. A sharp pain in her left foot. She sees it better and discovers burns around her boots. The rest of her body was hit as well, but she was able to avoid fatal damage.
" Let's only hope Anna and the others have taken care of the goblins."
She stands up with great effort. Then she goes back to meet up with them.
When she arrives she is met with a horrifying sight. Greyo is holding Emma by the neck, his hand set ablaze. While Anna is on the floor right next to them. In a tree to their right laid a burned corpse. It looks tall and big.
It didn't take long before Mira realises that that burned thing, was Jason.
She looks at Greyo furiously. While he looks surprised.
“ Well then. I have to give it to you. I didn't expect you to defeat the Black Fire.”
Now with the Black Fire gone, the goblins had returned to normal.
“ Now if you excuse me, I am going to finish your friend here, and then I am going to play with you.” He said with a creepy smile.
“ Don't you dare touch her! Or el “
But before she could make her threats Greyo brings his arm in Emma's chest. It then releases a bright light. Emma is hit by it and the area the light touched burst into ashes. Her eyes freeze, her gaze darkens. Her breathing stops. She is dead.
" How foolish." He says while looking at Jason's smoking leftovers. " What were you trying to succeed by sacrificing yourself for this girl? Look. She died none the less." he says showing him Emma's lifeless body. Before throwing it at the same tree as him.
Now he turns to look Mira. Mira's blood is bowling. How dare he do something like that to her comrades. Not only taking their lives, but also mocking them after their death.
“ How dare you, you fucking demon!” She bursts out. She tries to gather some magic, but with no success. She is far too weakened to attack him. She falls on her knees.
" That's better. On your knees, you low life worm." Finishing insulting her, Greyo walks to Anna.
He picks her up and brings her in the same position as with Emma.
Mira screams to him to stop. Greyo's smile fades away. Now with a cold expression, he says.
“ Don't worry. It will be a quick death.” reassuring her.
Anna can't move. She closes her eyes waiting for her upcoming death.
But he stops as he hears a small mumble. It was Mira, getting ready to use some kind of spell.
“ I know you are bluffing Mira! You don't have the energy to use an ability right now. And if you did, it wouldn't be strong enough to do anything to me. So just give up already.”
Mira though looks at him, her eyes filled with anger and determination.
“ Like hell, I will!” She screams to him. “ And you are wrong about one thing. I don't need any energy for this spell.” she says with her hands supporting herself from collapsing.
" The white moon reflecting its image in the calm waters of the lake. It's image twisted. As fragile as a human's soul."
“ Luna Lacum!”
With this words, the ground starts to emit a bright light. Then space itself is distorted right in front of them. It gathers in a small window of air. Then scratches appear as it starts to dissolve.
Greyo is looking at the site quite amused.
“ Hahaha. Luna Lacum? Really now Mira? What are you going to do? Summon a boar to attack me?”.
Mira ignores his laughing. He might be correct though. This is a summon ability, but completely random. It all depends on luck. She might pull out a leviathan or a chicken. And with her luck today she isn't so sure.
Greyo doesn't do anything to stop her. He drops Anna and waits. This is going to be fun he tells to himself.
Space collapses as parts of air fall on the ground. Inside there is something that looks like a vortex. Only that they can't see where it begins or ends. It is an infinite wormhole. Then it shouts out a bright light. Everyone closes their eyes.
When they open them, three young men now stand where the wormhole was.
The first one was a tall, somewhat muscular young man. He had short, black, spiky hair. He wore black pants with a red shirt and white sneakers.
Behind him stood two equally young men. Both medium in size and muscle. The one on his right had short, brownish-black spiky hair. He wore a white shirt along with black pants and black shoes.
While the other one had really short blond hair, in a military-like haircut. He wore a light-blue shirt, with blue jeans and white sneakers.
All looking around in surprise at the rainy forest.
Everyone else was looking at them with equally surprised looks.
“ She pulled out... humans?” Greyo questions.
Mira looks at him the young tall man in front of her.
“ Who... who are you?”
The man looks back at her.
“ My name is Andrew.” He answers her, his eyes carrying a true sense of wonder, as he looks around in awe.
