Chapter 24 - The War of Lirest and Boaren

In Lirest, all the witches fought with monsters that kept coming. But little by little, their strength began to wane. Many were exhausted, running out of magic, and one by one starting to faint.

"Isabella! Venus area will continue to take our energy. If we don't stop it, everyone here will soon die!" Griffin shouted when he noticed the wizards who were starting to lose strength. He himself was also starting to get dizzy.

"How? We are also still busy here." Isabella said as she slashed at the small hell eagle that was flying towards her.

It couldn't be denied that they were overwhelmed by holding off these monsters while protecting the other wizards.

Griffin thought for a moment.

"Could you hold them off for a bit? I will search for the entrance of the monsters."

"Are you sure this will work?"

"At least this can stop them for a while."

Isabella nodded. "Okay wait a minute."

"To the wind, I give my mana as an offering to make this area my territory."

A cold mist started to cover the area. The monsters from hell started to get confused, they couldn't see or feel the presence of the people around them. The sound of people running and screaming could still be heard, but they couldn't tell where the sound was coming from because the situation was really chaotic. The cold weather dulled their ability to sense human presence.

The movement of the monsters stopped and just walked to and fro. The bats and eagles flying above also couldn't see clearly below. This was the hallmark of the spell Isabella used. Making the whereabouts of the people around become unclear. Although this spell can only be used for a short time.

Griffin immediately ran to find the source of the gate where the monsters entered. He remembered that most of the monsters had come from the west, so the gate was most likely there.

The farther he went, the thinner the fog around him became. Which was natural, since the area of ​​Isabella's spell had a limit. That's why Griffin has to face the monsters that come. He continued to slash the small hell primates and small hell hounds that were approaching. Meanwhile above him the small hell bat and small hell eagle kept flying towards Lirest. And their numbers grew as Griffin ran.

About 2 minutes, Griffin arrived at a large courtyard. The ground beneath him had no more red streaks, a sign that he had left the Venus area. Over there, there were dozens of magicians from Boaren guarding 7 human-sized magic circles at a somewhat far-flung position. The magic circles continued to take out monsters one by one.

"So they're the source."

Griffin tightly gripped the flame sword in his hand.

"There's an intruder!"

"Hurry and kill him!"

The witches from Boaren immediately prepared to attack when they saw Griffin. They took out the swords and magic staffs they had prepared earlier.

"With mana like fire becoming a part of my soul, I command magic to create waves that become my area."

Griffin created a wave that pushed the witches around him. They felt an intense heat all over their skin.

With that chance, Griffin started slashing his sword at his closest magic circle.

Srat

His sword just pierced through the magic circle.

"To magic, strengthen my weapon like you strengthen my physique."

Griffin's flame sword was also enveloped in a red aura. With one more slash, Griffin managed to destroy the magic circle just now.

"As expected."

Flame sword is indeed a powerful sword skill because it has fire element. But from the Basic Knowledge of the Magic World, he could tell that fire element had almost no effect on demons or hell-related magic. So he had to think of another solution to destroy this magic circle. And somehow, Griffin's mana is so unique that he can rival magic from hell, like when fighting devil shrads.

Griffin kept moving and destroying the surrounding magic circles one by one.

"Stop him!"

Boaren wizards who were hit back immediately charged at the sight of the magic circle that was being destroyed. At the same time, the surrounding monsters that had just come out of the magic circle also attacked Griffin.

"I'm handing over half of my mana! I ordered magic to turn this area into flames that burn everything to ashes!"

[225 mana points have been used]

[Created fire territory]

The entire area around Griffin started burning. All the witches started screaming as they got burned alive.

This is a spell that turns an area of ​​a certain radius into flames in a short amount of time. A fire that would burn everything no matter friend or enemy, except for this magic user. But in exchange for a powerful effect, this spell consumed an enormous amount of mana, so not many mages could use it. But Griffin didn't really care about that, he had a lot of mana, and his mana healing points were also high. Perhaps that was the biggest advantage for him in this war.

Even though the witches screamed in pain, the monsters were fine. Those from hell had absolutely no fear of fire, and Griffin had expected it.

[Little Hell Hound – Level 12]

A dog whose body was burned by the flames ran towards Griffin. It's almost the size of a horse. Its jaws opened wide to bite Griffin.

With 22 points of strength, Griffin jumped high enough and dodged it. This Little hell hound was neither faster nor stronger than a ferocious hound even though their levels were the same. But the uniqueness of the little hell hound is, its great magic so it can burn any enemy it attacks. Therefore, Griffin didn't want to face him head-on.

"The monsters that appear are getting stronger. It seems that the Venus area has already absorbed a lot of energy."

As the monsters rushed towards him, Griffin tried to dodge and kept aiming at the nearby magic circle. Because destroying all the magic circles here would make the most sense.

Blam

The last magic circle was destroyed. At the same time, the territory of fire created by Griffin also disappeared. The time limit for this spell's effect was indeed very short.

Some wizards are dead, but some are still alive because they can survive using their magic. Meanwhile, the monsters around were also pursuing Griffin.

But instead of attacking them, Griffin ran into the forest. He moved towards Lirest. He knew that, even though they were weak, there were too many of them. It was pointless for Griffin to fight them all at once. It would be better for him to join forces with mages from Lirest and fight them together.

Come to think of it, Griffin found it funny. Just this afternoon he had trouble fighting a level 12 ferocious hound. But now he was relaxed against a small hell hound of the same level, and wizards and other monsters. The speed at which he grew strong was ridiculous when compared to other magicians. And Griffin is aware of that.

If it weren't for the reward from the quiz, it would be impossible for Griffin to be as strong as he is now. Grants skills, raises status points, grants weapons and magic elements. The reward he got was ridiculous. If only they weren't at war now, Griffin would have spent his time figuring out the mysteries about him.

"The magic circle that summons monsters will indeed appear again as long as the venus area is active. But it shouldn't be any time soon."

From Dark Magic Knowledge, Griffin could tell that the venus area would continue to create magic circles as long as it received energy from living things. But its speed at creating magic circles was limited, so Griffin could rest easy for the time being.

"But the problem now is the monsters that have appeared." Griffin thought as he sprinted towards Lirest. Right now, his priority is to get as many witches out of the venus area as possible.
