Chapter 2128: First Artillery Strike


    ?


    The Corrupted Elder Dryad Dorn was about to trap Awraka with her thorns when the prey suddenly released a powerful bloodlust that stunned the corrupted elder dryad. The


    Corrupted Elder Dryad Dornughed at the attempt that Awraka made but she noticed that her prey was no longer in front of her. It was then the Corrupted Elder Dryad Dorn felt a painful strike on her back shoulder.


    "Deadly Art: First Strike Venom" Awraka stated with no emotion as her usual demeanor changed to that of a powerful assassin.


    The Corrupted Elder Dryad Dorn felt the poison seep into her body which actually burned the insides of her body. Awraka was about to inject one more attack on the corrupted elder dryad, but thetter burst into leaves. The Corrupted Elder Dryad Dorn manifested a few meters away from Awraka as there was a mark on her back shoulder that actually linked to her heart. The Corrupted Elder Dryad Dorn knew instinctively that another strike from the assassin would not kill her but damage her greatly. She does not fear confrontation or a fight, but Awraka''s different way of attacks that even makes dryads feel pain. The Corrupted Elder Dryad Dorn knew that if she felt pain then there is a way for the opponent before her to permanently kill her. Beings that could permanently kill faekin are rare, but they do exist in this world which is why they are targets for elimination.


    "All of you! Kill her!" The Corrupted Elder Dryad Dornmanded as she no longer chased Awraka by herself but alsomanded the ones hiding in the trees to attack.


    The Corrupted Elder Dryad Dorn used long range magic spells instead of attacking head on to which she was ustomed to. Awraka did not move an inch as a being with four wings suddenly appeared behind her. Adrian appeared next to her while also catching the attention of all the other corrupted dryads and corrupted leshy.


    "Look up." Adrian stated calmly as he pointed towards the sky before vanishing with Awraka. Since Adrian was able to capture the attention of the enemies, they indeed looked up and saw gigantic airship being carried by arge ming dragon-like entity. This was the special airship of the Infernum guild that they have just shown the world. It was an airship that is powered by spirit magic instead of normal mana as the one piloting it was Faust.


    "Smander! Strike with all your firepower! Show them ourbined might!" Faustmanded as therge ming dragon was actually his fire elemental that has sessfully evolved to a High Elemental.


    Smander burned red hot as it released numerousrge ming balls as if it was a volcano erupting. This is happening while the airship ispletely safe from the heat as all the personnel inside of it did not even the slightest me despite having arge ming elemental on top of it. Smander''s attacks made all the Faekin shout in fear because the Elementals are beings that are equal to the fae when ites to natural magic.


    The mes that an elemental used is not just conjured using mana but also nature magic. This makes it more dangerous as they have control over this. If a fire elemental was truly mad, then even they could set water on fire. Smander is no stranger to this as it is now a High Elemental which is one step below the Elemental King title. The mes that the Smander conjured set the forest on top of the Forest Swamp Abomination on fire despite it being a very moist and damp area.


    "Put out the mes!" The Corrupted Elder Dryad Dorn shouted as Awraka has already escaped and their defense should now shift to putting out the fire.


    The corrupted dryads and the corrupted leshy tried putting out the fire but they could not easily do it. The Smander''s mes have special properties that could burn miasma and use it as fuel to make sure that itsts. A being that is filled with miasma like the Forest Swamp Abomination is the perfect target for the Smander''s mes. The miasma being sent to the ck Fairy Mavros suffered greatly as a result of the Forest Swamp Abomination using it to restore its body.


    "Cut off the ming parts and throw it out!" The Corrupted Elder Dryad Dorn shouted as there was no way to put out the mes unless they cut the ming trees out.


    The Forest Swamp Abomination roared at Smander, but thetter just stick its ming tongue out in exchange. The Forest Swamp Abomination suddenly absorbed arge amount of miasma in the area and even stopped giving it to the ck Fairy Mavros to perform a powerful miasma beam attack that is directed towards the flying Smander. Smander was not able to evade the miasma beam as it was quick and powerful.


    "Deploy the Spirit Barrier immediately!" Faustmanded as the crew opened the firepit that is connected to Smander''s belly and filled it with mana stones.


    Smander''s power increased to a great degree while it conjured a ming barrier with the aid of Faust that strengthened it. The miasma beam hit the ming barrier and destroyed it easily, but the Smander powered airship was safe. They were knocked back a lot but all of them were safe from harm as the miasma beam did not destroy anything. The Forest Swamp Abomination suddenly depowered and stopped in the area as it used up all the miasma in its body making it go in a state of rest.


    "Is everyone fine?!" Faust asked just to check.


    "Yes! General!" The crew answered.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om


    The crew inside of the airship were not normal yers as they looked like beings that are also elementals but are in the lesser elemental variety. The lesser elemental crew looked like small ming humans, and these were the lesser elementals that pledge their allegiance to the High Elemental Smander. Seeing that his crew were safe, Faust decided to withdraw as they need to refuel as Smander has pushed himself from the first artillery strike that they made. The Corrupted Elder Dryad Dorn waited to see if the High Fire Elemental will return as she prepared a way to incapacitate it, but it did not. The Forest Swamp Abomination lost its strength as it fired a powerful beam of miasma suddenly and needed to rest for a day. The Corrupted Elder Dryad Dornmanded all of the corrupted dryads and corrupted leshy to protect the Forest Swamp Abomination and kill every living being in their perimeter.


    "What was that, guild leader!?" Awraka asked as even she did not know that the Infernum guild had arge ming airship powered by an elemental.


    "Even I was not aware of it as we only investigate strange happening in the world rting to the game and not the guilds. It was actually quite cool to see thebination of an elemental and magictech! To think that the old way of magic could also bebined with the new ways is surely awesome!" Adrian stated as he really did think it was cool as there was always a debate that elemental magic that is archaic can never bebined with magitech which is a new way of using magic.


    "Should we investigate the guilds from now on? But first, thank you for saving me. It was a good thing that I read your message and fought instead of focusing on running away." Awraka stated.


    "No need. The shadow unit is already stretched too thin to focus on what other guilds are doing. Also, nting spies in guilds are a waste of time in my opinion when we should just be having fun inside of a game. For saving you... that is already a given as I was the one that sent you there in the first ce." Adrian stated which made Awraka admire him even more.


    Awraka''s admiration towards Adrian is more like a fan and not romantic in any way. In fact, she already has a boyfriend in real life and is also part of the Pantheon guild. Awraka is actually the number one shipper for Adrian and Frey as she already made secret forums discussing their simple dates in the game. She views Adrian more like an idol and strives to be as good as him in the game.


    "What should we do next, guild leader?" Awraka asked as she was ready to jump into action


    once more.


    "For now, monitor the area with the shadow unit. There is immense movement within the Forest Swamp Abomination. They are now dedicated to defense which is why Kimat and Kaon''s attacks from above are no longer viable. Our allies also retreated as this was just a chance to gauge the strength of the approaching enemy. Lastly, say hi to Silent Ghost for me." Adrian stated as he vanished before Awraka could react.


    "The guild leader actually knew about us?!" Awraka thought as they only dated secretly in the game. In fact, Adrian only did this because he also stumbled in the secret forum that detailed the in-game dates that he and Frey had.
