Chapter 52: White Knuckle Battle

Ellie's flames had reduced half of the city to ash, turning into patches of gray-white debris in the scorching heat and rising into the air. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Smoke and debris blanketed the sky, creating dark clouds that the sun's rays could not penetrate, and the entire city was plunged into night-like darkness.

Only the bright red flames on the ground released a light that was more dazzling than the midday sun, illuminating Ellie's battlefield without a single shadow.

The heat from the endless waves of fire made me sweat profusely, and I had to gasp for breath even high in the air.

If there is a hell in the world, this is one of them.

The whirlwind of Corlius swirled around Ellie's flank, as if timid, and slipped back in disgrace.

Chief Satie glanced up at the sky, and a few moments ago, the great green vortex he had created was gone.

Everything between heaven and earth is dyed black or red, one of two colors.

"It's almost time to decide the winner"

Corlius's voice was rather low, like a drum, and it was heard with the vibrations.

"What a coincidence, I feel the same way"

Ellie's voice burned as hot as her flames, and when her voice reached my ears, I felt a sting in my whole head as it was licked by the flames.

Corlius raised his hands, and a violent storm began to gather on him.

It was as if all the air between the clouds and the sea of fire was heeding his call.

"Storm Giant"

The atmosphere began to tremble, the red light began to tremble, and the air whistled past Linda and me, converging towards Corlius, the center of the storm.

Countless winds tangled together, twisted together, swirled and formed a dense storm, and then compressed into them, forming chunks of bone, muscle, and hard skin that hummed and moaned.

These 'parts' collide together, spin and move towards their destination, and then combine into organs, limbs, torsos......

A storm giant measuring thirty or forty meters tall gradually took shape, curling up and floating in the air.

The broad body, bulging muscles, and sturdy body were covered with a layer of dark green storm skin, like the moss formed by years of wind and rain on the giant's body.

Whew-

The giant let out a dull breath, stretched out its limbs and stood upright, then slowly fell as if it had suddenly gained weight.

He could be seen as if he was made of pure iron, dragging the air around him and sinking with him as he fell, smashing out circles of white air in the scorching air.

Boom -

With a roar like an earthquake, the giant fell to the ground, and his feet sank into the ground as if his body was too heavy for the earth to bear.

The giant took a sharp step forward, pulled himself apart, clenched his fist, and slammed his right fist at Ellie.

The snapping sound of his fist as it smashed through the air could be heard.

Rumble!

The giant's fist plunged directly into the ground, and the huge force smashed the flames that covered the ground into a splash, like a boulder falling into a pond.

"Ellie!"

Anyway, I thought she would turn into flames and escape at the last moment, but she was covered by the hands of the Storm Giant.

Although she knew that Elle would definitely not end up like this, she was still unusually nervous, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and suddenly realized that even her esophagus had been dried by the flames, and her lips had been cracked.

Bang!

Suddenly, next to the right hand of the Storm Giant, which had sunk to the ground, a wave of flames swirled and slammed into the giant's arm, and the flames coalesced together into the shape of a giant arm.

The giant hand of flame clamped tightly on Corlius' arm, and he could see clumps of lightning unleashing where the storm and fire rubbed.

Corlius' heavy blow hit the ground just now, and a large area of flames was shaken out, and by this time the surrounding flames had gathered back and drowned the giant's hand.

Suddenly, in the sea of flames in front of the storm giant, a large area suddenly protruded, and then ......

A huge human face was revealed, like a boulder hidden beneath the water's surface, and its surface was covered with a thick layer of water as it suddenly rose up.

The giant face of the flame began to jerk upward, and the liquid flames swished down its face.

The upper body of a flame giant had taken shape, and then—the flame giant slammed its head into the storm giant's head.

Corlius was knocked backwards, and the giant crouched and fell to the ground with a loud thud.

The flames beneath the giant's body splashed up waves several meters high.

The flame giant who had knocked down Corlius slowly picked himself up and slowly stood up.

This giant...... The huge face was slightly long and slender, and the eyes were beautiful and charming, the shape of a woman, and- a pair of long elven ears.

"Haha! Elle-sama!"

I cheered the little one at the top of my throat, and even I felt inspired when her giant appeared.

The flaming giants were clad in silky flaming cloaks, and their arms, legs, and waist were draped in armor made of raging flames.

Collius struggled to his feet, stretched his hand to the side, and a storm python that had just been released flew out of the wreckage of a nearby building.

The Storm Giant grabbed the python and slashed sideways like a sword.

Ellie crouched down, raised her left hand to defend, boom-

The python of the storm slammed into Ellie's flame armor like an explosion, sending out whirlwinds and pools of lava-like flames.

Defended!

"Well done Ellie, fight back!"

Ellie clenched her right fist, ready to deliver a heavy blow to the giant in front of her.

Suddenly, a green storm sprang up from the ground, carrying flying flames, and crashed into the Flame Giant's jaw.

As if a heavy blow had been struck, the flaming giant was smashed backwards and fell backwards, even with both feet off the ground, falling flat into a cloud of flames.

Is this?

The green whirlwind swam back into the hands of Corlius, and this was ...... Another storm python that had just burrowed into the ground.

Unexpectedly, Corlius was able to decisively abandon the halfway offensive launched and instead pave the way for the next attack.

Even a true novice like me can appreciate at this moment how experienced and courageous Corlius is as a warrior who knows a lot of magic.

Ellie's Flame Giant nimbly picked up and took a step back.

Then she stretched out her right hand...... Bang Bang

I don't know what kind of magic a cacophony burst out from the flame giant's right hand, stabbing my ear.

Then a blinding white light was released from her hand, and the white light began to stretch out in both directions.

I see, I've seen this spell once, and even I've used it twice myself—the Burning Spear.

The incandescent light quickly turned bright red, the flames rattled, and a red spear appeared in Ellie's palm.

The flaming giant gripped the spear in both hands and bent down.

The Storm Giant of Corlius, on the other hand, straightened up, puffed out his chest, lowered his arms, and held a monstrous Storm Python in each of his hands.

The two giant serpents, formed by the dense storm, struggled in the giant's hands, as if trying to escape, and from time to time opened their mouths and spat out a subtle whirlwind, like a real snake hyacinth.

Trembling -

I suddenly felt a tingling sensation all over my body, and I shivered violently.

The scene in front of me seems to be a picture from some mythological story.

An elf armed with a spear is challenging a true giant who holds a huge python as a weapon and threatens the elf's life at any time.

Suddenly, the crimson flame giant rushed forward.

Leaning down, he stabbed the spear in his hand at the storm in front of him.

Flutter -

The sound of the spear piercing through the skin and sinew of the storm could be heard, as if it had pierced a real person.

Corlius didn't even dodge!

The Giant of the Storm waited until the spear of the flames had completely pierced his body, and then he swung his hands at Ellie's Giant.

The two pythons wrapped around Ellie's body one after the other, and the python formed by the storm actually entangled the flame giant firmly.

Buzz boom

Corlius's body, where it had been pierced by the Burning Spear, shook and spun violently, and the green storm gradually drowned out the crimson spear.

Baking -

With the sound of a loud burst of flames, Ellie's weapon was cut off.

The Storm Giant's body was whole, and the serpent of Corlius had wrapped itself tightly around Ellie.

Elle immediately fell into an absolute disadvantage.

Although Ellie's magic was extremely powerful, Corlius was suppressed by Ellie throughout the battle, except for a few moves that occasionally surpassed Ellie.

But once a hand-to-hand hand-to-hand battle is formed, the gap between Corlius and Elle is immediately revealed.

I could feel the steam on my hands, the sweat of my palms, sizzling above a sea of flames.
