Chapter 346 - Battle at the Moon Tower: Lynn and Lumilia vs. Almer and Lina

Alice sat down and turned her head on the huge hole in the walls. She could see what's happening below. The people were still fighting an endless number of golems on the ground.

These golems wouldn't stop respawning until they stopped the caster of the spell.

Now that she released her true form for the first time in this land, she felt refreshed and pleasant at the same time. Hiding her form was actually uncomfortable for her.

She wanted to walk under the sky with her real appearance but doing so would bring her great trouble.

She sighed and muttered, "I will tell everyone about myself. I just need to find an opportunity to do so."

Alice turned her head to the bracelet on her wrist. Her butler, Sebas, gave her three bracelets that have the same ability like this one. In case she broke one bracelet she still had some spares so that she wouldn't be in trouble.

She owed everything to her butler. Without him, she wouldn't be able to arrive at this place safely. And without this bracelet, she wouldn't be able to blend easily in this land.

She would hide in some place fearing that people would discover him but thanks to the bracelet she could live in this land.

Her butler told her to find some people that she could trust. People that wouldn't mind about her race. And she found them.

Alice was really glad that she decided to settle in the Ladros City and enrolled in Ladro Institute. In that place, she met Souta, Bryan, Yujin, Lumilia, Lynn, and Brando. People that she could trust.

"I just hope that they will accept me."

...

Lynn and Lumilia were fighting two of the Moon Tower's seven executives on the seventh floor of the tower.

The two executives were Lina and Almer. They were mage and fighter respectively. Among the executives, their power level was at the bottom but for Lynn and Lumilia they were strong.

Lumilia was on the front fighting the fighter, Almer, while Lynn was supporting her from behind.

Almer thrust the dagger in his hand forward and Alice jumped backward to avoid it but it still grazed her shoulder.

A cut appeared on her shoulder but the next instant it closed as Lynn casted a healing spell on her.

Then, a giant fireball appeared above Lumilia falling down on her.

"Ah!!"

Lynn gathered her mana and created a barrier to protect Lumilia.

Boom!

The giant fireball crashed on the barrier and it caused a powerful explosion. It destroyed the barrier but it didn't have enough power anymore to injure Lumilia.

Almer bent his knees and charged at Lumilia. He tightened his grip on his dagger and channeled his mana on it. Lumilia then swung her sword and both of their attacks collided.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Everytime their weapons collided sparks flew out between them.

Lumilia's main class was a mage but she still knew how to fight in close range. If she compared it to Souta, Alice, Yujin, and Bryan her fighting ability in close range was pretty much average.

That's why she was at a disadvantage in this battle.

That's why she had to depend on Lynn.

A cut appeared on her body every second as she couldn't block and avoid all of Almer's attack. Although both of them were B-rank powerhouses, Almer mainly fights in a close-quarter combat. His skills and techniques were much sharper and trained than Lumilia.

Lina once again casted an attack spell but Lynn offset it by creating a barrier to block it.

This battle depends on the two who were fighting closely.

The balance was going to crumble once one of them was defeated and Lumilia felt that she was going down. Even though she trained hardly in Saya's inner consciousness she still couldn't match those people who main in close combat.

She was already good as she could last longer against an expert like Almer.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

After a few minutes of clashing, Lumilia felt tired even though she didn't have any wounds in her body. After all, Lynn could only heal her wounds not recover her stamina.

Also, Lynn consumed a lot of mana while Lina still has a lot in her body. Lina didn't have to cast healing spell nor buff spell on Almer. All she had to do was to cast an offensive spell and Lynn would cast a defensive spell. That way, she could drain Lynn's mana faster.

"Mila..." Lynn looked at her friend with concern in her eyes.

"Don't worry about me. Just focus on your task and we will somehow hold out." Lumilia said as she shook her head.

Almer was going to charged at Lumilia once again when the ground shook heavily and a powerful wave of energy flooded the entire room.

Boom!

"What?!"

Almer and Lina were surprised when they felt it. Lina turned her attention to Lumilia and Lynn. She saw that they were shocked too. It means that they didn't plan this one.

The energy that they felt was dangerous. It was different from mana. It was best feram unique to monsters.

"The energy is coming from the floor below..."

Lynn quickly sensed where the energy was coming from but she didn't know that it was from Yuko. Before evolution, Yuko was using mana but now her mana transformed into best feram. Her energy signature greatly changed that's why Lynn couldn't recognize that it was from Yuko.

Lumilia had a grave expression on her face. The first thing that comes into her mind was that it was an enemy. She wasn't too optimistic to think that it was their ally and lower her guard.

Souta taught her to think about the worse case scenario in every situation and think of a way to deal with it or how could they avoid it. It's better to prepare themselves for the worse than not preparing at all.

If it was an ally then it's good but if it was an enemy then she had to prepare. Everything depends on how she looked at things and prepared for every scenario that could possibly happen.

"Almer, it seems that this is not from them... Best Feram...? Only a monster could use it but how could a monster entered this city without causing a commotion." Lina narrowed her eyes and said to her comrade in a low voice.

"I don't know too but it's better if we prepare ourselves. Gyun and Ryo are fighting on the fifth floor. The monster will pass on that floor first." Almer said as he shook his head.

"I don't want to think about it but two of them wouldn't have a chance against a third evolution monster. We already lost Kin and I don't want some of us to die before we achieved our goal." Lina said as she tightly clenched her fist.

"You should've expected that some of us will die when you decided to take this path." Almer glanced at her.

"I know... But they are our comrades..." Lina replied.

Almer took a deep breath and said, "Let's go and finish this as soon as possible. Then, let's check what's happening on the fifth floor."

"Okay." Lina nodded and she turned serious.

"Lynn... Prepare yourself! They are coming!" Lumilia said to her friend as she tightened her muscles. She silently circulated her mana and prepare herself to cast a spell.

Swoosh!

Almer quickly launched himself forward. When Lumilia saw it, she finished her preparation and casted a spell.

[Water Bomb]!!

[Twin Aqua Serpent]!!

Two giant serpents made of water materialized beside Lumilia. The serpents moved forward to intercept Almer who was coming at her at a very high speed.

Lina, who was watching it, looked up and saw a water sphere fifteen meters above her. She quickly recognized this spell with one glance.

She gathered her mana and created a barrier to protect herself. She also prepared herself to cast it towards her comrade.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Almer ran around as two water serpents were chasing after him. They were fast and it's not easy to destroy them because Lumilia was obstructing him. He and Lina let her prepared this as both of them turned their attention to the best feram before and their opponents didn't this opportunity passed by. They prepared spells that could trouble them.

"Go!"

Lumilia shouted as she slashed her sword. Normally, she wouldn't shout but this time she wanted to gather her opponent's attention so that the water serpents could strike from behind.

"It's not that easy..."

Almer said as he parried Lumilia's sword and quickly jumped away to avoid the water serpent.

Lumilia and the water serpents stopped chasing after him.

"Shit!!"

Almer realized what was wrong as he looked in the sky and saw the water sphere falling in his direction.

Lina narrowed her eyes as she created a barrier to protect Almer. She already prepared herself for this kind of situation the moment she saw the [Water Bomb] spell.

Boom!
