My vision wavered as I found one of the creatures reaching for me. But before I could attack, Luke shot a laser beam full of compressed light towards the monster's arm. Right before my eyes, the monster's arm sliced off from its body like butter. I slowly raised my head as I stared at the monster's neck before chanting, "compression".
The monster screamed as its face became more twisted from my spell, grabbing its head to help alleviate the pain. I waved my fingers to use a laser beam to slice it into tiny pieces as my final kill. I prayed for my attack to work as the monster soon turned into a pile of ashes. This creature's weakness was light.
It did explain why fire was more effective than water and ice. I switched my approach on attacking the monsters as I prepared myself to mutter another spell. But before I was able to implement them, Luke grabbed my shoulder.
"They're already all dead," he pointed out.
He was right. He already took care of the rest with Alex with more light infused spells. There were small cuts among the trees near the edges of clearing showing the neater attack compared to my heavier spells. The light coming from my hands died down as I relaxed against his chest for support.
I was dragged towards the hover car by Luke as I was too weak to walk on my own. Although my body was exhausted, my face lit up when the sleeping boy got the basic first aid treatment from Shelly. I was relieved that I was able to save someone with these tiny hands.
But I knew the first aid treatment wouldn't be enough. I could sense his slow heartbeat filled with poison. If he didn't die today, he would likely be dead tomorrow. I started to focus on my internal body to check how much mana I had left. If I had enough, I would heal to recover some of his lifeforce.
"Don't even think of using heal," Luke pushed me into the hover car.
"It would attract more monsters like honey," Alex agreed.
The hover car began rising into the air as we quickly found ourselves above the edges of the towering trees. Was mana the factor that attracted these monsters? Before I was able to ask Luke, my eyes widened at the scene outside the window as my question was soon answered.
The monsters began to climb the trees to get into the hover car. I shook Luke's shoulder and pointed out the scene as he soon ordered Alex to increase our altitude as fast as possible with the emergency controls. However, the hover car started to shake as the monsters started to leap off from the trees to our direction.
"Can these monsters fly?" I asked.
"They're known for their powerful jumps that can reach the height of several meters," Shelly shivered.
This wasn't much better than being able to fly was it? The monsters tried to grab onto the hover car to bring it down. The only thing keeping us safe was the fact that these creatures had bad aim when jumping towards the car. Most of them fell back down to the ground before starting to climb the trees again with fervor.
Alex pulled the steering wheel used for emergencies as he tried to shake the monsters off from the car. I tightly grabbed onto Shelly's hand to comfort her as she transitioned into shaking uncontrollably. I tried to prevent myself from flinching every time another monster managed to grab onto the exterior walls of the car.
"Open the windows," Luke demanded when Alex failed to come up with a solution from the manual.
It was time to attack back with our remaining mana. I began to pull out more laser beams towards every monster that jumped towards us. It was much easier than fighting on the ground since they only got one chance to leap into our direction. But as the hover car was soon surrounded by clouds, it was harder to determine which direction they were coming from.
"Are they usually this persistent?" I felt this was unordinary.
"Only when they sense a huge source of mana to put them into a frenzy," Alex focused on shooting more beams.
This basically meant this was all my fault, wasn't it? I was the person luring them all here with my potential for an unlimited amount of mana once I turned into an a.d.u.l.t. But there was also Luke beside me who was predicted to come close to me in terms of the amount of mana he possessed.
Tired of holding out my arm for a long period of time, I placed my arm on top of the windowsill for support while firing the laser beams. Feeling something heavy as my shoulders pulled towards the window, I tried to move back inside. But when I looked outside to see what was making my body lean towards the edge, there was the claws of a monster trying to drag me down as it held my hand on the other side. I held back my scream as I felt my blood pouring down onto the ground from its sharp claws digging into me like knives.
Alex initially questioned me why I was leaning so close to the window before figuring out the monster was pulling me out of the hover car. I frantically waved my arm as I struggled to break the tight grip of the monster who was starting to climb up with my arm.
"No, no Rika!" Shelly tightly hugged me as I felt myself about to fall out the window.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
