BEYOND THE BLAZE

Chapter 109: 109


The tension coiled in the air in the inside while fresh air was flowing outside.

Akirion stretched himself with his lips widely stretched as he grinned. His eyes were closed while he enjoyed his stretch.

His smile suddenly went away, it disappeared just like the blown dust as he glared at the gate of the dungeon.

"I guess I've scared them enough. It's time to go away from the gate because I'll feel sorry for them, hihi." devilishly, he giggled, as he started to go away from the gate.

Meanwhile, the girls had their eyes vibrating while their knees trembling like a leaf as they saw the undead moving slowly towards them.

Emma spoke, her words loud, from fear as she was scared to see the skeletons moving, "What should we do guys, let's do something!"

Emily asked, her eyes glued at the upcoming trouble, "Something like what?"

"Fight these things."

They acted as if they saw a spider crawling towards them. Their eyes were wide open, hinting fear on their faces as they looked scared and also with a hint of surprise.

The undead were heading straight at them like zombies, bones crackled everytime they stepped foot on the ground as they continued to approach the girls.

Elina looked braved but her heart knocking her off in the inside, "Guys, get yourselves together, we can do this!" She said as she clenched her fist and got ready to fight.

Emma replied, her voice filled with fear, her eyes on Elina who forced bravery on herself, "It's easy to say for you Elina!"

Emily nodded, and also added on top of Emma's words, "Yeah totally, you think that we will feel brave just because you said it?"

Elina expanded her point, "Of course not, these things are closing in, we should do something fast, really fast." she said as she looked at Emily and Emma who had their knees trembling.

Emily said, "Do that something, we will do what you will do!"

"Ahh, okay, let me do this."

'damn, I can't stop shivering, my knees are shaking like jelly while my hands can't get stable. It's as if I've entered a winter world.' she thought as she glared at her hands that were infront of her, trembling, while she felt her knees vibrating.

She continued, "I can do this!" she said, out loud.

She shot a vacuum blade at the skeleton that was at least 5 meters away. She missed and hit 3 that were behind.

"Huh, I Missed?!" She was left astonishment by her poor shot.

Emma was amazed by that shot that she ended up saying , "Wow, they are easy to kill!" this time, her knees forgot to tremble, all the fear was suddenly suppressed as she saw that she was going to win if she thought of attacking too.

Emily grinned and said, "I can do this too, now my bravery is coming back." she stretched her fingers, some crackling sounds were made as she continued.

Criticizing Elina asked as she saw them getting refreshed out of nowhere, "Really, where did it even go in the first place?"

Emily looked at Elina and said, "I can hear you , damnit!"

Elina smiled and said , "Don't mind me, just kill the threat infront of you."

"Who are you to tell me what to do?"

"Hey Emma, how are you doing?" Elina asked as she ignored Emily who sounded furious.

"I'm trying to focus my magic, I should release a minimum amount of energy, because I'll be a burden if I use all of it."

Elina's eyes widened and she fastly stopped Emma's use of magic, "Wait!"

"Huh?" Emma didn't expect that, she was about to release her magic.

Elina said, "You aren't supposed to use a minimum amount of your energy!"

With a different intake of the phrase, she thought that maybe they wanted her to go all out, so she asked,"So you want to leave me hear unconscious?"

Elina explained ,"Of course not, I just wanted to tell you that you should use your magic a bit by bit, because if you use the minimum, you'll be around half maybe, then, you'll have to use more when more trouble comes, and by then, you'll be down for sure."

"Emmmm, I… grr, I guess you are right, thanks for the advice."

"You are welcome, now it's time to fight!"

Emily widened her eyes as she realized the change of motion, "Wait, these things are now running! What did you do Elina?"

"I didn't do anything!"

"Maybe you triggered the alarm or something!"

Elina said, "Damn, we should act fast, I'll start with the attack, support me!"

Emma added, "I can start too, you know, to attend to the ones who are far away, I mean those who can't get to test your wind."

Elina was a bit surprised, and she didn't understand what she meant, "Ohh, that's, that's a good idea, but, how Are you going to do that?"

With an echoing voice, Emma chanted, "Terraverde, vine sprout," Vines sprouted out of the ground where the skeletons were, mostly. She continued her chants, "binding Vines." Vines went up fast and started to bind the skeletons, squashing them up, and a bit of a squash caused it's bones to disintegrate.

The undead were around a thousand, going straight at the girls. Emma's attack took out the ones that were in the middle.

They broke into pieces and they left Emily and Elina taken aback.

Elina had her gaze wide open glaring at the middle where they saw a clear space without the undead, "Wow, she's so good!"

A smile formed in Emma's face, "Ohh thanks!"

Emily also smiled and she glared at Emma and said, " Not lying but, that was good!"

"Thank you but,it takes a lot of strength to pull that off. But, don't worry, I didn't even reach my minimum amount of energy."

Elina responded, "That's good, these things are too much!"

Emily added, "Yeah totally, how many do you think you took out Emma?"

"Maybe 150 to 200!"

"Ohh thats good, I'm up next!" Elina said, as she stretched her self again.

Emma warned,"Remember, don't drain yourself up!"

"Got it!"

Elina shot a vacuum blade at the undeads. One blade hit 7 undeads that were in a row.

Emily made some icey blades and threw them at the running undeads. Every shot was freezing it. The shot took effect immediately and took time to brush off.

The undeads that were shot in their legs couldn't move and some broke down.

Emily had her face printed with a smile as she got happy for her performance, she said,"Wow, these things are easy to fight!"

"Maybe not!" Elina said, her voice deepened, fear started to crawl up to her body.

"Wha….." Emily was cutoff by what she saw.

Emma asked, "Wait, they are coming back to life?"

"That looks like it!" Elina replied.

Emily got shaky again, "The what? That's totally cheating. Are we going to win here?"

Calmly, Elina responded, "I guess we won't, we will just have to fight to the fullest and then, we will die almost in peace!"

Emma asked Elina, "Why are you so calm?"

"I'm not, I'm just accepting reality, that's all!"

Emily enterrupted with a yell, "What reality, are you for real? These things aren't part of reality, They are dead things, so, let's fight the past and enjoy the present."

Elina smiled and said, "Really, that some weird way of motivating someone, but, I gotta admit, you really are bad at it!"

"Tsk, you don't need to comment, just wake up from your dream and use that power, I don't accept lies!"

"What do you mean, do you think I was lying?"

"Just joking, I know that I'm bad at making up speeches but, wake up and use your powers."

Elina replied, "I'm not sleeping damnit, I'm trying to concentrate, just buy me sometime to gather up a lot of energy to help us defeat these things."

Emily warned, her voice still loud, her face filled with frustration, "Okay, I'll do my best, but don't disappoint me because I'm going to kill you for it!"

Elina replied calm, "you are good at being harsh and you've got some stinging words that gets out of your mouth."

"Just Hurry up and gather that energy, I don't have the whole day!"

"Shut up and follow Emma's footsteps. She's quiet and she's clearing a lot over there!"

Emily suggested, "Come on, don't compare. And I have an idea!"

"I'm all ears."

"Let's move out, like spread away to clear them fast!"

Elina replied her eyes closed as she summoned her wind, "that won't work, just act fast and clear those things!"

Emily was throwing ice blades that were freezing her opponent. She replied to Elina by asking, "I'm clearing, can't you see that!"

"My eyes are closed!"

"Who cares, feel it then."

"Shut up and save your skin for these last minutes!"

The fight continued, the undead went back to their original place after they got cut. The regeneration process took more than a minute to start, after it started, it took seconds for the undead to start running towards the three girls.
