Chapter 247 Cursed Mountains(7)

The trees glowed red and trembled causing their leaves to fall, but unlike normal leaves, they didn't fall to the ground and instead floated into the air. The leaves shot towards Colin faster than a bullet and he quickly wrapped himself in a sphere of hellfire that burned the leaves to ash on impact.

Colin looked at his right hand which was pierced by an earth shard and gritted his teeth. He could hear more of them coming through the air and flew threw the air a hiding them.

"Ah!!" Colin exclaimed as a sudden pulling force dragged him downwards towards the ground. He struggled fiercely against the force, flapping his wings desperately as more earth shard and leaves flew towards him. He created a sphere of demonic energy and hellfire around himself, hoping it would block the earth shards and leaves. Luckily it did, which is why the forest changed tactics.

"Keuk." Blood gushed out of Colin's mouth as an earth spear pierced through his stomach. His barrier was destroyed, the pulling force was still pulling down and more spears were heading his way. Making a rash decision, he stopped flapping his wings and wrapped them around himself, causing him to crash into the ground fast. When he crash into the ground, a small crater was formed, destroying a few of the trees.

'Mist? Gravity? And Earth attacks from the beasts under its mind control. I should be able to deal with this, but I doubt that's the only thing it can do.' Colin thought painfully as he stood on his feet. He could tell that more than a few of his ribs were broken and his wings were mangled as they took most of the damage coming down. He created a wave of hellfire that surrounded him and spread throughout forest, setting the trees slight once more.

'Oh so that's it.' Colin thought as he could see the mist being emitted from the trees, killing the flames. The force that was weighing him down was gone, making him think that the forest couldn't use more than one of those abilities at once. He helped his hands forwards and concentrated hellfire between them, creating an orb. The orb was condensed many times as he channelled more and more energy into the orb. Colin could see the mist clearing, and he knew he was running out of time, but he only needed a few seconds to get his attack ready.

'Done.' Colin said as he looked at his unstable creation. The orb was a deep dark red, with wisps of black inside and orange rings circling around it.

'I'll call this one, solar sphere.' Colin said as he fired the orb towards the giant tree at the back of the chamber. As he released the attack, the solar sphere expanded, burning away the trees in its path as it made it's way towards the tree. As it got closer, the tree started to surprisingly freeze over as thick ice covered it's even thicker bark. The solar sphere crashed into the ice encased tree and exploded, covered the entire chamber in hellfire, burning the surrounding trees to ash. Colin had already escaped into the tunnel connecting to the chamber when the solar sphere exploded. As the flames cleared, Colin wondered back in the chamber and looked satisfied at the destruction he caused. All the trees , except the big one, were nothing but ashes on the ground with bits of charred branches here and there. The big tree had all it's leaves burned away and it's bark were charred black. The tree looked dead, but Colin knew better.

The tree suddenly shook, and the middle section of the trunk opened up slowly, revealing a fleshy red eye.

"Now you reveal yourself." Colin said and snapped his fingers. The embers of flames around the chamber gathered around the tree, engulfing it. The entire chamber trembled as the tree let out a weird high pitch hum/wail as Colin could only image how pain the tree was in right now.
