Primordial Villain With A Slave Harem

"So he's some strange water warrior…" Kai stated while approaching me apprehensively. His tone spoke magnitudes of his sheer disbelief. His confusion was easily understandable, after all, he saw me use spells from my Stormblade class as well as the Elemental Sovereign one.

Blackjack was a lot less careful which was best evidenced by the fact that he was already attacking me in full force. We were in the middle of exchanging a flurry of blows.

I was grateful for my foresight in not using even our criminal aliases while conducting this operation. We were technically trampling on Consortium territory even if the bigshots supposedly wouldn't care much, so our names getting out from here would've been troublesome.

I didn't expect Blackjack to have the strength to force me to use multiple classes, but now that the cat was out of the bag all I could do was silence all observers. Even if they didn't know my name, it would still not do me any good to let them go, especially Kai who recognized Blossom.

In the first place, changing her legal name to Luna was done because I was worried that he or some other acquaintance of Ian would recognize her, so this Mithril-ranked adventurer truly had to go.

I will be honest and say that I've been holding back a bit thus far. Not that I continued looking down on Blackjack and his gang, but that I was still a bit conservative with my mana expenditure.

It was time for me to truly go all out. I couldn't afford to combat these two without putting everything on the line. If I were to fall unconscious from spending all my mana in the span of a minute and they still manage to beat me then so be it. I could at least proudly say that I tried my best. <Shut your ears close!> I issued my command to all my subordinates who were near me before casting a spell I had no chance to try out beforehand, similarly to [Tsunami Surge].

This one did not require hand movements on my end, instead…

As I got ready to cast I could feel power surging within me, gathering at my vocal cords. I felt the sheer force threatening to tear me apart from the inside, but I embraced it, channeling the fury of a storm into one devastating release.

I threw my head back and roared with all my might, releasing a sound that was so primal and ferocious like a dragon unleashing its wrath upon the world. "[Sonic Boom]!!!" The shout tore through the battlefield, shaking the very air as it transformed into a cataclysmic wave of compressed energy. The wind-elemental spell exploded outward in the shape of a cone, creating a visible distortion that rippled through the atmosphere in front of me.

The ground beneath me trembled with the shockwave uprooting loose debris and blasting it in all directions. Trees bowed under the sheer pressure and leaves ripped from their branches and flew into the wind. The force slammed into everything in its path.

Kai and Blackjack were caught in the devastating cone of my spell. They staggered backward as the shockwave hammered into them, forcing them to instinctively clutch at their heads. Blood trickled from their ears and their balance got distorted.

I had to give it to them, though. A normal person surely shouldn't be in such a 'fine' condition as these two were. The Vitality stat and its all-encompassing resistance to all sorts of hostile forces against the body once again shined brightly.

Kai's face contorted in sheer panic and he shouted words he couldn't even hear properly. "What the fuck! That was no water spell!"

Blackjack, however, let loose a crazed cackle despite the pain and severe discomfort he was experiencing. "You think I can't fight while I'm partially deaf, brother?!" His voice was louder than necessary, evidencing his hearing disability brought upon him by yours truly. He immediately began rushing at me once again as he seemed hellbent on using the most trustworthy warrior tactic when it came to fighting mages, which was to overwhelm them in melee range.

"Blonde, healing!" Kai barked the order at his enslaved priestess with utmost urgency in his tone.

The blonde-haired woman wasn't in the cone of my [Sonic Boom], thus she was only hit with the much lighter aftereffects of it. She was still shaken though, but she did as told when she began casting her healing spell aimed at Kai.

But that wasn't going to fly - not with me, and definitely not with my most trusted bombshell of a rogue. My dog-girl made her move like a shadow that was given form when she descended mercilessly upon the woman with claws drawn.

Meanwhile, I was just beginning.

"[Airwalk]" I intoned and instantly felt the magic take place under my feet. The ground below faded as I began ascending into the air as if I were walking on an invisible staircase. I sprinted upward, higher and higher, leaving both Kai and Blackjack staring after me in pure shock. This was perhaps the most broken spell in my repertoire since it allowed me to ascend from my landlocked state of existence for a brief period of time. Technically I could go as high as my legs could take me in the allotted time frame, but my other spells had a maximum range to them, so I found myself forced to remain at around fifty meters (~164 feet) from my targets. Some of my spells had longer ranges, but I wanted to have access to my full arsenal.

Blackjack's mad dash to meet me was halted as he looked up to follow my ascension into the sky. His expression contorted in confusion before it broke into his usual, unsettling crazed grin. "Elemental Sovereign!!!" he bellowed with a voice full of realization and raw excitement mixed with terror. I didn't know that [Airwalk] would give my class away this decidedly, but I suppose it must be an exclusive or something.

I felt the grin on my face mirror his, though mine erupted due to the glee I felt from watching their small frames from my position of undeniable supremacy and the knowledge of their impending doom.

"You're goddamn right."

I admitted the correctness of his statement before I began my barrage as my satisfied grin grew so much so that it went from ear to ear.

"[Lava Pool], [Rockfall], [Wind Cutter Barrage]."
