Chapter 175: chapter 175- Fire Monster
- with Caldwell
With his hands on the Boulder, Caldwell Ignore the Commotion behind him and begins to chant.
"...Gelidus manus~frigidus animus~ vinculum glaciale!" (Latin)
Caldwell's mana flowed out of each of his fingers towards the Boulder, the cold air began to be seen from the dew that formed around Caldwell.
*rattling!*
With the area where Caldwell's Hand was located, the Boulder began to freeze, and it expanded, and in just about three seconds, the entire Boulder froze.
"... destrui!"
*Crack!*
The boulder broke into several large chunks of ice, which amazed Matvey and Ruslan.
"The path has been opened up, bro. Should we get in?"
Said Caldwell, turning to Taufik.
--------------------
"The path has been opened up, bro. Should we get in?"
Hearing that, Taufik looks at Matvey and Ruslan.
"... You heard him... We will go now"
"B-but are you sure is fine? He was from a Royal Family from Britain, which means that you are also from a Royal Family... What will happen to us if something happens to any of you?"
Asked Matvey who began to feel worried after he found out Caldwell's Background
"... Father didn't feel worried too? It's the Royal Family we are talking about. Can we bear the consequences if something happens to them?"
"Are you blind? Don't you see what kind of Magic he just used? It's not ordinary magic... And what possibly could have happened to him when This Young Hidayat was with him?"
"Hehh~ You quite knowledgeable for someone who lives in a desolated land like here"
Praise Taufik for the knowledge possessed by Ruslan; similar to Alice, who was born with something special from the others, Caldwell is also like that.
There are six main elements in this world, namely, Water, Fire, Wind, Air, Light, and Darkness, everyone is born with an affinity for one different element, but that doesn't mean they can't use other elements, it just that they will master the element that has the highest affinity with them from the other elements, in Caldwell's case, he was born with two affinities for elements, namely Water and Wind.
In today's world, it is something that is very extraordinary, but in this world, there is also something called Give and Take, and what happened to Jenn is real proof, she has a Core that is bigger than most people, but she can't take full advantage of it because of the Mana that is on earth today, as well as Caldwell, he has to work twice as hard as the others, but Caldwell and Jenn's situation is a little different, no, a lot different, in terms of Family, environment and resources, Caldwell is far above, that's why he can successfully utilize his talent better than Jenn.
"... Hmnp! Wisdom comes with age, that's normal"
"But Father-"
"Alright, stop it guys, you can continue your argument later, I still have something to do"
Said Taufik, stopping the argument between that Father and Son duo before it dragged on any longer.
"BRO, WHAT TAKE YOU SO LONG?"
Shout Caldwell from afar.
"You heard that... I will get going now"
Said Taufik and then directly walked toward Caldwell without waiting for Ruslan and Matvey's answers.
-------------------
"What took you so long, bro?"
Caldwell asked Taufik who finally came to him.
"That Father and Son just won't stop their Argument...
Taufik answers while walking inside the Cave with Caldwell and Sylph.
... But you guys really like living in the mountains, huh? Except for Undine, maybe. Is there any exact reason?"
Taufik asked Sylph, and Sylph, who heard Taufik's question, looked sad.
"... Nothing Special, we just felt by living in the mountains we can feel a little bit closer to Mother, that's all"
"... I see"
"..."
There was a silence for a while after Sylph said that. No one spoke as they walked deeper into the cave until they all heard a noise in front of them accompanied by a bright yellowish red light that slowly approached them.
*Step! Step!! Step!!!*
A few moments later, the three of them saw two humanoid monsters made purely of fire, the heads of the monsters were like burning bonfires complete with eyes and mouths, and the monsters had two hands and two legs, each of them holding a different weapon, one had a large hammer and walked while dragging the hammer, and the other was holding a large sword that he put on his shoulder.
"Ohh~ so this the Monster they talk about? They, Indeed, look quite strong... Alright~ Let's end this quickly"
Said Taufik with his Katana already in his hands, he wanted to step forward, but once again, Caldwell stopped him using his hands.
"... Let me handle this too, bro, can I?"
"..."
Seeing Caldwell like this, Taufik began to wonder, and then something crossed his mind.
'... Is he trying to prove himself?'
"Can I?"
Caldwell asked once again.
"... Sure... Do as you Like"
Said Taufik, hearing this, Caldwell smiled and then directly came to face the two fire Monster.
"... Are you sure he will be okay, sir?" Asked Sylph.
But Taufik didn't answer her questions because he didn't really know how strong Caldwell was, so he was not too sure.
"... Let's just see"
---------------
*ROOARRR!!*
One of the Monsters who used a great sword Roared and then directly ran toward Caldwell, with his great sword still on his shoulder.
*Grin*
"Come here..."
Said Caldwell, grinning while looking at that Fire Monster. Frost came out of Caldwell's body and spread in all directions freezing the ground where Caldwell's feet were standing.
*RAAHHG!*
The Fire Monster then swung his great sword toward Caldwell; Caldwell didn't make any move to avoid the Fire Monster's attack.
"... Frost Area!"
Caldwell said quietly.
The fire monster who saw this grinned and continued to swing his Great Sword, but a few moments later, the fire monster suddenly stopped in mid-swing when his Great Sword was only inches away from Caldwell.
*ARGHH!!*
The Fire Monster Roared in Anger because he saw that his attack failed to reach Caldwell.
But Caldwell could not be satisfied because an attack from a fire monster carrying a large hammer had come from behind the fire monster using a Great Sword.
*BOOMM!!*
Caldwell's "Frost Area" Freezing Rate couldn't match the rate at which the Great Hammer fell onto the ground, causing a loud noise and creating massive destruction to the ground where the hammer landed.
Luckily, Caldwell managed to avoid the attack by jumping back just before the hammer hit him. Otherwise, his fate would have been the same as the ground.
"... Do you need some help, Caldwell?"
Ask Taufik from behind.
"No, I can do this, I just testing how strong they are and Now I know"
Reply Caldwell with his eyes still on the two Fire Monsters which have returned to their original state.
"Alright! I just want you to know that you're strong enough; no need to endanger yourself just because you want to prove yourself...like To me, Maybe?"
Said Taufik which only made Caldwell's vein pop out.
"*Tsk* Annoying"
Said Caldwell and then extended his hand forward.
"O-hoo~ Do you want to use that move? Isn't it way too fast for an Ultimate? Do you also feel that they are strong enough? Are you under pressure? just say it, don't be shy"
Taufik said again which only made Caldwell even more annoyed, but it seemed that was indeed Taufik's goal because it could be seen from how he grinned while looking at Caldwell.
"EXCALIBURRR!!!"
Caldwell shouted angrily, ignoring what Taufik just said, and Taufik, who was behind, laughed at this, Sylph who was beside him looked at Taufik with a strange look
After that, the same magnificent blue sword he used to fight Taufik that day reappeared in Caldwell's hand.
The appearance of the Sword caused the surrounding temperature to immediately drop and freeze the ground and walls of the cave; this also affected the two fire monsters, which made the fire that was their heads dim.
"*AHHHGHH!!* "
Maybe triggered by anger or something else, this time it was Caldwell's turn to roar angrily and immediately run towards the two fire monsters.
"... SWORD GRAVEYARD!!!"
Caldwell shouted as he approached the two fire monsters, and then from the frozen ground and cave walls, hundreds of sword blades came out and headed straight for the two fire monsters who had no room to dodge.
*Stab!*
From the first stab, a chain of sword stabs began to hit the two fire monsters, and with hundreds of stabs hitting their bodies, they were crystallized, fire inside ice crystals, it was a beautiful sight, but it didn't last long, because Caldwell had swung his sword towards the two crystallized fire monsters.
*Crashh!*
With Caldwell's Sword hitting them, the two fire monster bodies were split into several parts, unlike what Matvey said, this time the fire monsters could not come back to life, because their bodies, or their broken bodies were still trapped inside the crystal which could not disappear if Caldwell himself did not want it to disappear.
With that, the two fire monsters died without even having time to say/Roar anything.
"... YOUUUU!!!"
Said Caldwell as he turned to Taufik.
"Wouh~ wouh~ wouh~ Calm Down Man, I just Joking, don't take it so seriously like that"
"It's not Funn-"
Caldwell said, but stopped when he saw Taufik and Sylph not looking at him, but behind him.
Because he was curious, Caldwell looked back, and there he saw a group of monsters similar to the two fire monsters he had just killed heading towards them with different weapons in their hands.
"... Shit... F*cking Shit!"
