Chapter 64.6- Doom Days

From each of them came a yellowish gas. I scowled, casting a bubble head charm around my head, knowing full well just how the spell would limit me in combat. Still, all that meant was that I had to stop holding back as much.

I allowed the gas to spread as it wished, ignoring it in favour of assaulting her with spell after spell. She dodged the first two before backhanding one away. I swept my wand from left to right, turning the ground around her to mud. She pressed her hands to the ground, managing to restore a small circle around her to solid ground. Good. But not enough.

I twisted my wand, and the mud came alive, reaching out for her. She snapped her fingers, and one off the tendrils exploded. In that time, the gas I’d been ignoring finally reached me. With dragon hide gloves and boots, the only place I had exposed skin was my neck. And that was why, I didn’t notice until it was too late. I cursed up a storm as I suddenly felt a stinging feeling in my neck. I took a step back, but the feeling did not leave. Fuck. It was so itchy. I lifted my hand to begin itching, and in that time, Okonkwo had dealt with my animated creatures and was now facing me more fully. The bulbs bowed and turned towards me and instead of spraying fire like they had against Cece, they began to spark and sizzle. Oh hell to the fucking no.

“Ventus maxima” I whispered, blowing away the yellowish poison powder and granting myself some temporary relief from the pain before I began to carve runes in the air. There was no need in keeping a trump card for the future if I wouldn’t be living to see it, and I had no doubts that so much lightning had the power to kill me.

She snapped her fingers as I felt my shield spell snap into place. I twisted it, making it omnidirectional, even as that tripled the magical cost. The bolts of lightning from her plants smashed against my shield. They managed to make no headway until they ran out of juice, and then I dispelled said shield. I turned to send a spell at her but then the buzzer rang once more. She felt to her knees shaking once she did.

Well, at least I knew where her limits lay. Still scratching my neck, I made my way back to my box while Russo presented another musical act.
