Ch-22 I Promise (2)

For the first time in his life, Harry had been suppressed someone younger than him. So, his emotions were messed up as Jennifer's existence denied his whole life. Now, taking her life was not a mission but to prove that his life was not a waste.

Harry suddenly starts standing still like a tree and prepared for something. Jennifer's eyes widen in realization," No, I won't let you do that."

Jennifer rushes towards the Harry but unfortunately she was too late. The Harry used a magic spell 'Tier 2, Water, Hard Manacles ' restricting her movements.

Hard Manacles was a powerful spell that had an immediate effect on battle but the stress on the caster was also unimaginable as it used some of his nutrients decreasing his strength by a considerable margin.

But this was not the end of Harry's onslaught as his next move ' Tier 3, Water, Blasters '. Blaster was a 3rd Tier spell capable of releasing continuous shot of water to deal non-stop damage to the enemy.

Jennifer was helpless as she received continuous damage from the water shots but this situation lasted only for a short time as she came up with a solution and managed unbound the Water Manacles placed by Harry.

However, the dual attack was effective because its aim was not to defeat Jennifer but to tire her out and make sure that Harry did not die before his team members arrived.

Jennifer's worry kept increasing since the truth was she could not maintain such battle power for a long time. She had limited time before her strength started plummeting. Maintaining such high battle power took a tole on Jennifer by depleting her strength and mana quicker than normal.

' I have to trick him into using his powerful attacks otherwise the battle will become even more difficult when his teammates arrive.'

This would make Harry's battle power fall and give her a chance to kill him or at least decrease her chances of being overwhelmed by the Graveyard Troupe member.

Wanting to kill Harry before his teammates arrived, Jennifer continued with her strategy and used ' Tier 1, Earth, Mud' and ' Tier 1, Wind, Flow' to lock his movements and then dealt heavy blows with her staff.

Harry was not able to block spells of different elements casted simultaneously and Jennifer's onslaught ensured that he received a staggering 25 % damage. He was shocked to witness her use spells of 3 different elements. It was so rare that it was the first time he had seen anybody wield 3 elements and her timing couldn't have been better giving her attack the surprise element it needed.

To make matters worse Jennifer's attacks and spells were stronger than normal needing extra mana and energy to counter it.

Both of them continued attacking each other with their weapons and spells and as the battle progressed Jennifer was starting to overwhelm Harry.

Unfortunately, Jennifer's advantage was lost and her anxiety reached its peak when the scattered members of the Graveyard Troupe arrived at the scene and she was left with only 30% of her battle power left.

The only positive about Jennifer's current situation was Harry's decline in power to a pitiful 20% battle power but this advantage was also lost as his team in tandem with him could release 50% battle power which was 20% greater than her.

Their strength increased because of the strategies, formation and coordination they had with each other while Jennifer was alone and not in her optimal condition.

It was a situation where Jennifer needed a miracle to come out of the brutal battle alive.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Harry had been suppressed from the starting of the battleand it was unthinkable for him to ever lose to someone younger than him because of his upbringing. His emotion were still in a mess and realizing he was now in a favourable position, he wanted her to feel miserable before he killed her.

" You are a menace to any opponent. To be able to deal with someone 5 levels above is remarkable and to top it off you can wield 3 different elements. I had only heard rumors about people having affinity for 3 different elements.

You are probably a genius and talented believed to become one of the strongest people in this World.

Still you ended up in the wrong place at the wrong time because this is the end of the line for you."

Jennifer heard what Harry said but there was no change in her expression ," You are wrong about me being at the wrong place. If given the chance to escape the current situation then I would decline and still rush towards this situation because I have something very important to protect.

I am willing to surrender to you if the Graveyard Troupe leave the boy alone. You can have everything valuable I have with me but you cannot touch me. "

Graveyard Troupe members expression changed into surprise and confusion never expecting Jennifer surrendering to them. It was a golden opportunity to end the battle without any casualties and all the member agreed to the deal readily.

However, Harry did not see it that way and mistook Jennifer's surrender as her fear of fighting them which feed his newborn arrogance, " No way am I going to leave the money I get from killing that brat. First I will kill you, which is a disappointment because I wanted to have some fun with you but its fine.

Instead I will have fun with the brat by torturing him until he regrets being alive breaking him mentally and then slowly kill him.

Oh, how much fun will I have just imagining it gives me goosebumps."

Harry finished speaking his fantasy out loud when he was alarmed by the terrifying aura accumulating near him making him turn his head towards Jennifer.

Jennifer developed unbrideld rage as she continued listening to Harry's fantasy and when he declared about killing Jasper was her breaking point," Bastard, I am going to kill you today!!! This I swear on my name ' Jennifer Pierce ' .

Jennifer did not have much battle power left so the right choice would be to not use high consumption attacks but perhaps due to her enraged state she did the total opposite.

As if personifying her anger Jennifer used a Tier 3 spell ' Fire Storm '. Fire Storm was a powerful attack capable of burning everything within the 250m radius of the caster. The shortcoming of such a powerful attack was its high consumption which brought her battle power down to only 20%.

The Graveyard Troupe members were not spared by the scorching waves as Harry, 2 mages and 3 warriors scrambled to protect themselves. If they didn't act quickly and counterattack the fire in time then they were sure to die.

The warriors formed a wall of shield to protect the mages while Harry counterattacked the fire storm. Having 2 mages should have helped the Graveyard Troupe in this dire situation but unfortunately for them both the mages couldn't use Water Magic to counterattack.

After continuously using his mana Harry was finally able to dissipate the flames but then Jennifer came rushing through the resulting smoke and started a fierce battle with the warriors and mages.

Harry had used all of his mana reserves to dissipate the flames and now his life was in danger because of mana depletion. He needed sometime to recuperate his mana and regain some of his strength but he was confident about killing Jennifer. All of his team members were not pushovers and had a lot of battle experience and they were in their optimal battle condition while Jennifer was close to losing all of her strength.

After he recuperated his strength the battle would be over.

Harry only took 5 minutes to recuperate but when he opened his eyes his face was filled with horror.
