CHAPTER - 31 - THE POISONOUS LAND OF VERGIF OTROV - PART - ④

After Jae-Hyuk came to his senses, he said,

"To pay for my actions, I will start forming that pathway with my Earth elemental magic!"

Most of the elements in nature are found in the body. However, these are available in a vary small quantity, which is mostly unusable. Thus, magic type slayers use the power of the nature to attack their opponent. If slayers have a good elemental potential in their body, there is no need for them to absorb the power of nature by creating magic circles or reciting any spells or mantras. A small a out of power of nature, as compared to the huge amount of power of nature by creating magic circles, would be already absorbed by their body.

Jae-Hyuk gathered a huge amount of Gi from his body, in his hands. His overwhelming Gi was visible with naked eyes. His hands started emitting a greenish red colour, which later started appearing in the form of an energy ball into his palm. The Gi energy which he excreted, started dividing into countless rays. The rays were of greenish colour, but the red borderline made them look like brown colour, which was shining with brightness. The rays started colliding with each other. When the collision took place, the melt with each other like how the lemon juice mixes with water.

The rays were now no longer rays, they were in the form of a shape the shape looked a lot like a magic circle. The first wave of rays formed a circular pattern, the second wave of rays started forming small stars at the inner border of the circle, the third waves formed medium sized circles around the small sized stars at the border and lastly, the fourth waves formed a huge star shape in the middle of the circle, with some sort of unknown language and numbers written in each blank space of the star. After the formation of the magic circle was completed, Jae-Hyuk chanted a group of words, which sounded like some kind of spell or sutra. He screamed,

"I, Kim-Jae-Hyuk, ask thy! The great mother Earth! To lend her power to this one!

Za greetalsa Maadatya Earthesteil vem kritano yar varzet desyano!"

*RUMBLE!*

The small piece of land on which Alcesto's party was standing, started shaking due to huge vibrations. The sound of rumble can be heard to everyone. The demons who were guarding the castle, didn't paid any attention to Alcesto's party before the rumble, but when they heard the huge rumbling, they got into their attack mode. They were in perfect form.

Soon, the magic circle started excreting huge amount of Earth's energy, which started transforming into solid ground, once it suspended in the air. As soon as the path started building, Alcesto stepped on the path along with Vanzel. As the path was forming constantly, Alcesto and Vanzel continued walking on it. They were followed by Kim-Jae-Hyuk, as he was absorbing the Earth energy while creating the path. Behind him was Schwartz, with Zhao at his side. They were being followed by Yoon sisters, while Deces was guarding their back in case any sudden attack is commensed by the enemy.

The path was formed completely. The demons were rushed towards Alcesto and others to breakdown the path and make them fall into the magical acid. The demons didn't knew that Vanzel had planned everything already. He signalled Alcesto to start flying along with Jae-Hyuk. Alcesto grabbed Jae-Hyuk's left hand, as he was standing on his left side and Vanzel grabbed his right hand, as he was standing on his right side. When Vanzel grabbed his hand, he turned slowly and looked at Schwartz. He signalled Schwartz by his eye movements to commence the plan. Schwartz replied,

"Hm!"

Vanzel balanced his godly and dark gi, and made them flow properly within his body. Alcesto made his Azure qi flow in his whole body but strongly at his legs, giving him a higher chance of defying gravity since it was his first time levitating.

They started moving in the air without any difficulties. Vanzel looked at Alcesto's posture and complimented him. He said,

"Your techniques are really good for a beginner!"

Alcesto got flustered and said,

"Thanks! Hehe!"

After that, without wasting a single second, they rushed at high speed towards the castle.

MEANWHILE...

The remaining members were under the care of Schwartz, as instructed by Vanzel. Schwartz was in the lead and others followed him. He almost reached the end of the path along with Zhao. As they were moving forward and reaching the end of the path, the demons gazed them intensely. The low level demons can be referred to as 'mindless monsters' but these were higher demons. They had the intelligence to understand their current situation. The demons figured out that, "our enemies are getting closer, and if we attack them right now, we have a higher chance of winning." Just because of this thought, the demons also started stepping forward and reaching for Schwartz, who was the person nearest to them. Schwartz was in a tough spot. He thought to himself,

"Well... Now, how to commence a perfect plan, which has to be tactical enough to kill all the demons in front of our eyes and... To make sure that no one dies?! Right!"

After thinking for a while, he asked Zhao,

"Zhao! Can you use your fire magic to burn those demons who are right in front of us?!"

"Tha-That can be done! B-but... It will take some time! Because..."

"Do not worry. I know about your situation."

Zhao didn't needed a lot of power of the nature in previous battle, because she had a huge amount of fire elemental potential in her body, since her birth. But, this time, things were different. She was low in her body's fire elemental magic.

"There's no problem! I already have a perfect plan ready!"

Schwartz said to himself excitedly. He turned back and ordered his teammates,

"Deces! I guess... You won't be able to fight freely if we don't get out of your way right?!"

"Obviously! I won't be able to use my dark force or undead army if you all don't leave my path! Tch... Even though i can't summon my undead army completely because I'm not at my personal territory... I'll try my best to summon my strongest warriors!"

"All right then! Yoon sisters! Please listen carefully!"

"YES!" yoon sisters said in unison.

"You both have to use your Vitality magic to wipe out the first and the nearest wave of the demons coming for us. I hope you both can slay atleast ten demons by yourself, right?"

"Of course, we can!" Kyung-Soon replied.

"Ten demons are a piece of cake for us!" Kyung-Mi said.

"Very well...Now, everyone listen properly! Yoon sisters will overtake us and destroy the upcoming wave. Meanwhile, Zhao will prepare her magic circle and absorb the power of the nature. After the upcoming wave will be destroyed, I will rush to keep the demons at bay and Zhao will help me. While the demons will be on the bay from our side, Yoon sisters will protect Deces until she summons her undead soldiers. Did you guys understood the plan?"

"YES!" Everybody replied in unison.

"Very well then! We shall commence the plan, now!"

"YES!" Everyone shouted excitedly.
