Simon who was currently in a profound state, succeded in bringing an equilibrium between the two elements. Flames on his right hand and lightning on his left, the forces which repelled and tried to subjugate the other before now quietly revolved around him.
Flames and lightning enveloped and empowered each other and it looked like the two elements were increasing one another’s destructiveness.
Now that the elements had reached a profound equilibrium and were no longer rebelling, he supplemented the elements with more mana. The flames true to their attribute of destructiveness kept getting stronger and released an unparallel heat.
The electro magic displayed their piercing swift properties and made the amalgamation magic even stronger.
Like a bottomless pit, the two elements swiftly ate all of his MP as they kept getting stronger and bigger. It was to the point where half of his mana was swiftly drained. But Simon kept on feeding it even more.
Fire and electro magic are the two forms of mystical energy that held the purest and uncontaminated destructiveness among all the five basic forms of mana. The amalgamation of these two elements didn’t just add to the strength but instead multiplied the might of the magic born by manifolds.
At this moment, all Simon could see was the magic being born in front of him as he kept supplying it with mana. A spectacular display. The flames and lightning inflated and contracted for quite a while before they reached a size of twenty meters.
He could feel that the magic was near its completion as the flames and thunder pulsed with a wild and uninhibited power as if alive. After a while, it started coiling around him and vaguely took the shape of a twenty meters long crimson-purple dragon.
Looking at it, Simon could feel its destructive aura, he could only imagine its might after all the mana he provided to it. To create the magic, he had fully depleted his mana pool, and right now he did not even have enough MP to sustain his flight anymore.
As he looked at the flames and lightning, he gave a satisfied smile, and just when he was about to leave this profound state and display the might of his magic, he suddenly heard a cry. The sound was that of a newly born infant and rang once before disappearing right after.
Simon had this strange feeling that the elements had called out to him. He tried to focus on this feeling but even after a while, nothing happened.
“It must be my imagination” he concluded shaking the thought off his head.
After Simon opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was a land encased in a thick layer of ice. Wherever his eyes landed on, was a land of ice. Beautiful and magnificent.
However, before he could marvel at the scene, his eyes were ensnared by the beauty who was so near him that he could even smell her fragrance. Pearly white skin, smooth icy blue hair, curves that were so perfect that anyone could be smitten in an instant, and an ethereal face that could immediately steal one’s soul.
A peerless beauty.
Right after opening his eyes, Simon became gobsmacked. A sweet fragrance blew into his nose from time to time as he relished on it. This was the first time that Irene was standing so close to him, the distance was so near that he could touch her if he just reached out with his hand.
CRACK… CRICK… SHATTER… BANG
However, he quickly shook his head off the rampant thoughts and focused his attention on the enemies in front. Even after being encased in extremely freezing layers of ice, the treants still survived and were quickly regenerating their shattered branches.
It was as if unless they were destroyed till their roots or were uprooted from the ground, they would keep on regenerating.
Looking at the treants who were quickly thwarting her ice, Irene bit her soft pink lips and was about to attack once again when a voice called out to her and stopped her in her tracks. “It’s alright now. You all have bought me plenty of time, next leave everything to me” Simon said as he looked at Irene and smiled.
The moment Irene turned around, she became flustered. She realized that she was too close to Simon and could even smell his scent drifting with the wind.
Just when she was about to back away, Simon rushed towards the treants leaving behind his assuring words. She stared at the figure who was quickly flying towards the treants with her crystal blue eyes. Nobody knew what she was thinking.
Simon charged towards the treants who were struggling to free themselves from the ice. The twenty-meter long crimson-purple dragon that was hovering in the sky, emitted a thunderous roar as it descended.
The three gigantic treants who were more than a hundred meters tall and were half encased in ice shrieked in terror after they noticed the pulsing energy coming off from the flame dragon.
BOOM… BOOOM… TREMBLE…
Large swaths of land rose into the air and enveloped the treants as if trying to shield them from the oncoming attack.
Simon who was the caster of the attack sneered at their futile effect. He muttered to himself “I must say you guys have an extraordinary defense and paired with the earth magic of yours, it becomes quite difficult to penetrate your steel bark. However, that was up until now.”
The flame dragon behind him opened its large mouth and roared, meanwhile Simon extended his hands towards the treants and declared “Amalgamation magic:- Electro-Flame Mastery… [Crimson Lightning Dragon]”.
Immediately afterward, a piercing sound rang out as the crimson dragon charged towards the treants. It brought a destructive aura along as it rammed against the thick earth crust enveloping the trunks of the treants.
BANG.,. the earth crust without being able to put up any defence, crumbled down in an instant as thick spiderweb-like cracks ran across them. Right after penetrating through the earthen defence, the crimson lightning dragon easily bore through the treant’s steel-like bark and exited from the opposite end of the trunk.
A three-meter wide gaping hole could be seen on the treant’s thick trunk. The hole was slowly getting bigger as the insides of the treants were burning and melting down at an astonishing rate. The electro flame was swiftly immolating the body of the treant from inside and even bored through the earth, scorching their root.
Afterward, the entire trunk of the treant starting giving off an intense crimson light before its gigantic body blasted apart into fiery cinders. Just like that, one of the treants was brought down in an instant. But the might of the crimson lightning dragon did not end there.
Right after penetrating through the first treant, the dragon turned around and pierced through the defence of the second treant as easily as before and exited through the other end of its trunk before charged towards the last remaining treant.
SHRIIIIEEEKKKK… An ear-piercing shriek echoed out. The last treant shrieked and wrapped its branches against its trunk in hopes of stopping the crimson lightning dragon but to no avail. The dragon easily exited through its steel-like trunk and continued towards the horizon. A few seconds later, the two gigantic body of the treant’s was blasted into fiery cinders just like the first one.
BOOOOOOOM…
A huge shockwave bringing along an intense heatwave struck the area for hundreds of meters. Ice was melted down as thick clouds of smoke rose into the air, the burnt residues of the treants dropped down all around the forest like a meteor shower.
Simon whose entire strength had been drained out after the attack, was flung back by the shock wave as he rocketed towards the ground.
