Sky cutter; a spell Grey managed to create on his own in a bid of looking for something destructive that could wipe out a large number of opponents at once. Although he had a lot of spells to do that in his arsenal, he wasn't satisfied.
Which led him to develop sky cutter which could only be used to destroy a large number of enemies at once, destroying whatever defenses that they had in one smooth motion.
And since it was made of wind attribute, it was both fast and silent that the enemy unless they were tremendously fast enough, they wouldn't be able to avoid it in time not until it has done what it needed to do which was utter destruction.
Grey thought he wouldn't be able to test the spell in the battlefield considering that the enemies he faced against didn't come in large numbers but now, seeing the hundreds of bat beasts, he finally got a use for the spell which he demonstrated killing about twenty beasts in a single swing leaving his friends stunned.
"Hpmh! It's weaker than I thought. I was aiming for at least thirty or fifty of them, but this will have to do." Grey said with a shrug.
'Are you kidding me?! Did he just say that was weak? I could try to produce an attack like that using my lightning magic, but it wouldn't be able to wipe out that many beasts!' Greg screamed in his head.
'Grey, who are you? I don't think you are an ordinary being the way you keep progressing faster than us.' Vince thought.
'With the way he keeps getting stronger, at this rate, I would have to stop taunting him before he snaps one day and eliminate me with a single strike. Not like he couldn't do that before though.' Jay thought with a slight sweat dripping down his face.
'Grey, will I ever be half as strong as you?' Arthur thought.
'Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! That… that… I can actually do that too if he allowed me touch him, just once so I can copy his magic but he has already laid a rule that I can't. And I honestly do not want my head rolling on the floor next, I like the position it is in.' Raze thought.
The beasts on noticing the Lunaria squad, all screeched at once while behind them, a portal could be seen flickering in and out before snapping shut sealing the hundreds of beasts in the human world.
Using his appraisal skill, he could see that the beasts were all level 4 beasts with the ability to drain their enemies using their fangs. Closing his eyes for a second, Grey managed to sense the others and he counted around a hundred and fifty beasts in the village.
'That is quite a lot.' Grey thought.
"Unm Grey." Arthur called out pulling him out of his thoughts as he could see a dozen bats flying towards them at immense speed.
"Why the hell are you calling me? Don't you have magic? Use it darn it!" Grey shouted.
"Ri… right! I almost forgot." Arthur said as the beasts were now closing in and before they could hit the group, a transparent looking like barrier appeared in front of them blocking the beasts as they began to pound on it and trying to use their wings to cut the barrier open.
"We need to take the fight to the ground, they have more of an advantage in the sky and we won't be able to move properly." Gordon said.
"Actually, I need Vince, Vanica and Vorden to take the bird and grab the civilians and take them far from here." Grey said.
"What?!" Vanica shouted. "Don't you need me? I mean my magic."
"We don't really need that." Grey said as he saw the barrier cracking. "You guys need to hurry up, because it is going to turn bloody now."
"Fine! Not like I'm much of a help here anyway." Vorden said and the bird was seen weaving around the bats that began following them while Arthur still had the barrier up while the bird was now heading to the ground.
Immediately after its feet touched the ground, Grey and the others leapt off and the bird took off with Vanica, Vorden and Vince on it as they were seen grabbing the civilians onto the bird while heading away.
The bats didn't need to give chase as the main threat that eliminated twenty of them was in front of them so they focused their attention on him as he walked forward calmly while about fifty of the bats were hovering above the ground ready to charge forward.
"Lower the barrier Arthur." Grey ordered.
"Are you sure about that?" Arthur asked and Grey nodded while the barrier was starting to come down and the bats on seeing this, got ready to dash forward.
"Guys! After I use this, my mana will be completely depleted and I would need to replenish my core so I will leave the rest to you all." Grey said without giving his team any time to say anything, a huge amount of wind descended upon them.
The beasts were seen dashing forward at immense speed. There were about fifty bats coming at the team at tremendous speed while the wind that descended upon the field took the shape of a tornado that was spinning violently in front of Grey.
And then, lightning was seen crackling around Grey and in a flash, two bolts of lightning were shot towards the tornado that kept spinning hard.
Not satisfied, Grey walked forward and placed his hands in front of the tornado pouring all his mana into the tornado in front of him making it spin more with lightning bolts hitting the ground scorching it.
The lightning was now more evident in the tornado that was spinning violently throwing up wind everywhere while the beasts were now a metre away.
'I purposely didn't use all my mana because of the wind bird but I still won't be able to fight after this.' Grey thought as the beasts were now mere feet away as they wanted to manoeuver around the tornado.
"Fusion magic! Rajin Spiral." He called out with a snap of his fingers sending the tornado flying towards the fifty beasts at terrifying speed due to the wind and lightning attribute making it faster than anything anybody had ever seen.
As the attack was flying, it was slicing everything in its path and in a flash, it slammed into the beasts that tried their best to avoid it as the attack sliced through them killing them on the spot while the pieces of their bodies were seen falling on the floor.
While Grey also fell to his knees with blood trickling down his mouth.
"I have done my best." He said snapping his friends from their thoughts as they stared in awe and fear at what Grey displayed. "Now it's up to you guys."
