“Release spell: Fire Dragon Descent.”
Hearing those words, Flaming Takeda initially dismissed them as a joke from Alec, however the dense veil of smoke covering their vision finally cleared, and his doubt vanished.
Rather than dissipating into the air, the smoke had gathered behind Alec, coalescing into a majestic mantle, with their view restored, both the Wind and Flame Takeda hesitated, terrified to close the distance.
As they could feel the same terrifying aura that spell Flaming Takeda had casted earlier, surging violently from Alec’s left hand.
A few meters behind the Takeda avatars stood David, though he was likely the most powerful fighter present, however due to his overwhelming self-preservation instinct it kept him from taking the lead in the assault against Alec.
Behind Alec, a draconic shape of pure elemental fire roared into existence, drawing directly on the vast energy stored within his left gauntlet.
Yet something was fundamentally different this time, even Flame Takeda realized with a shudder that the spell was far more potent than when he had cast it himself.
The idea that a spell he had personally created was being executed with superior mastery by someone else defied all logic to him.
Standing on the opposing side, Alec glanced down at the four spheres at the back of his gauntlet that had been utilized to replicate the spell.
He realized that they have now turned entirely black, and he felt that they would require some time to recharge and be ready for use again, though he still retained half of his energy reserve and three unused spell slots left.
Yet, his focus swiftly shifted away from his gear as he began to realize that he might have unleashed something truly monstrous.
When unleashing the stored spell from his slot, he had decided to channel a portion of his mana into it while using his mental power to forge a distinct dragon shape he envisioned in mind.
That extra mana and mental energy that he had added is what had now thoroughly transformed the original dragon structure that Flame Takeda had created.
Standing slightly taller than its initial form, the elemental dragon had undergone a striking transformation, for one its wings were now forged from hellfire, re-born from Alec’s mana intertwining with its reconstruction spell runes, it had decided to draw upon Alec ‘s ever burning black flames.
And around its body, the crimson fire that formed it now blazed with even more intensity, a direct result of showing that Alec’s flames’ ferocity far surpassed Takeda’s own in raw power.
Yet, it was not these dramatic physical changes that gave Alec the unsettling feeling that he had birthed an abomination.
Rather, it was the distinct sense that the spell now possessed a fleeting, temporary consciousness.
Possessing a mental energy far more resilient than the average mage, Alec had decided to allocate a fraction of it to shape the spell just like he uses mental energy to control spells normally.
While he was doing this he kept putting his mind on the fact that his mental power was triple that of a typical Tier 7 mage, so he had assumed he would easily avoid the severe mental drain for trying such a risky move, having faith that he wouldn’t face the same situation as when Flame Takeda was plagued by a reduction in his aura after he had used a tiny fraction of his mental energy to manifest the spell earlier.
However, he had never anticipated that by infusing roughly 50 mental stats into the spell it would cause it to evolve in such a manner.
Deep within his consciousness, he could feel a faint, eager impulse, almost as if the spell was waiting for its caster to issue a command.
[? Host is already bordering on partial Avatar Creation, an exclusive skill reserved for some special monarch-rank lifeforms. Keep up the hard work and you might just slay a Monarch-Tier lifeform as a high-rank human.]
Alec glanced briefly at the strange notification hovering before him, but he didn’t dwell on it too much as the monarch realm seems like something that was still far into the future for him; and right now he was too eager to test out his new toy.
“Dracarys,” Alec commanded, pointing his left index finger toward the two Takedas.
It was a word from the Valyrian language he remembered from a movie in his past life, however he was clear on the fact now that it was indeed dragon language, as he had used the same language to give order to Zenith before and he seems to understand what it meant.
Knowing Zenith grasped its meaning was reason enough to use it again, and at his command, the massive fire dragon elemental; construct spread its broad wings, dipped its neck slightly, and unleashed a torrent of intertwined crimson and black flames.
“Fuck! Devour the fire or redirect it!” Wind Takeda barked commands at flaming Takeda as fast as he could after he had already tried to quell the flames by unleashing a high-rank wind cutter spell with the swing of his Katana blade, but the wind gust had failed to cleave through the incoming torrent of fire breath, which had left him with no choice but to call on Flaming Takeda for aid.
“Get out of the way, you idiot! Does that look like a flame I can control?!” Flame Takeda yelled, frantically trying to dodge.
‘Damn it, I don’t have a proper crowd-control spell,’ Alec on the other hand had his thoughts going wide, as was considering pinning them down the same way David had bound him to one space, but quickly realized the problem, he barely had any restraint spells he was an all out attack mage.
Though his Earth magic could substitute for restraint techniques when fighting on the ground, but with the battle brought into the air, holding an opponent in place was far more troublesome to him, as he simply lacked a true restraint spell.
[? High Tier Spell - Gravity x100 ?]
Still, he acted instantly not wanting to just let them go free, as he cast a spell to hinder their movement and prevent them from dodging out of the way in time before the inferno consumed them, as another giant purple hand took shape in the air above them, causing the surrounding gravity to plunge dramatically..
While the intense gravitational force had been able to trap both the Flame and Wind Takedas, the Earth Takeda and David managed to counter the spell using their own abilities.
As for the Earth Takeda, he countered the spell by reversing the flow of gravity on himself using his sub-gravity abilities before escaping the range of the flame. Meanwhile, David formed a spatial bubble around himself, rendering him entirely unaffected, since only space and time magic could make such a gravitational force seem insignificant.
Even so, Alec remained unconcerned about them, as he decided to take out these two that were helpless out first, as they got slammed by the dragon breath which blasted them away.
After the Flame and Wind Takedas were hurled through the air and slammed towards different parts within the gravity cage, Alec instantly closed the distance, appearing right before the Wind Takeda.
“Fuck you, Alec Gordons!” cursed the Wind Takeda, as he already had several burn wounds around his body due to his lack of fire resistance, seeing Alec before him he realized Alec was determined to eliminate him first.
Cornered with no allies nearby to support him, desperation drove him to go all out, as he coated his katana in a massive surge of wind element, and he slashed straight at Alec.
The strike unleashed dense, solidifying waves of air, forming jagged, chainsaw-like wind blades that whirred furiously along the edge of his weapon.
Alec shifted his sheathed blade to his left hand and used his right hand to raise the blade slightly in a defensive stance, as he had drawn the steel just enough to defend against the strike with the exposed side of the blade.
The defense barely held as fierce wind currents roared around the katana, grinding violently against the edge in an attempt to breach Alec’s guard.
Fixated entirely on the clash of steel, Wind Takeda failed to notice part of the pool of blood orbiting around Alec, now had a tendril that separated from the main mass, and then solidified into an extra arm that wielded a blood-forged Changdao.
And in a single fluid motion, the second arm swung for his throat, decapitating him instantly.
