Chapter 497: Destroying the Enemies’ Teamwork
I approached the werewolves who had some difficulties fighting the coordinated cult members. Shelia and Jack are there, but it seems like it will take some time until they can defeat the cult members.
As for the others, seeing that this group is difficult to handle, they leave and choose to fight other people first. Reducing their number as much as possible.
They can leave things here to the werewolves because the werewolves have some experiences fighting against expert level mages. And no offensive magic those mages can use can kill the werewolves in one hit. Especially with the werewolves’ regeneration skill. They can heal themselves as long as they have stamina. And it will take a lot of time for them to exhaust their stamina.
Which mean it could be a long battle. Unless someone help them.
The others are fighting other cult members and criminals in this place. That means they won’t be able to help. But I can help now that I have killed those four who were escaping. That’s why I’m going to support the werewolves.
The coordinated cult members are five people. I’m watching them from afar to see what they can do. Seems like each one of them has different element.
One man can use fire magic. Fireman.
.....
Another man used ice magic. Iceman.
An old man used wind magic. Wind Oldman.
A woman used earth magic. Earthwoman.
Finally, a woman with lightning element. Lightning Woman.
Good. Now, it’s easy for me to tell who is who after giving them nickname. Simple nickname which I will call other people as well in the future.
As for the werewolves, there are ten of them. Five werewolves led by Shelia, and another five led by Jack. As for the other werewolves, they are fighting other people. But despite having ten of them, they are unable to defeat those five mages.
The simplest plan to defeat them is to destroy their coordination. The difficult part is how.
They are protecting each other. Unlike any cult members I previously fought. People who would sacrifice their own allies to do anything.
I think it’s best to just kill one person first. For now, the Earthwoman. It’s because of her powerful defensive magic. The Iceman also has powerful defensive magic, but ice magic is more balanced in offensive and defensive magic, while earth magic is more focused on defensive. That’s why defeating the Earthwoman comes first.
Now, for the plan. I approached Shelia and Jack. These two werewolves are the only werewolves who can defeat expert level mages in a one on one situation. I know what Shelia can do, and Jack is the second strongest werewolves. He should be able to defeat one.
“Shelia! Jack! Kill the earth mage first! That Earthwoman! Once we do, their defense should be weakened!” I said while putting Air Barrier around us so no voice can get out and the enemies won’t be able to hear us.
“I see. But approaching her is difficult. How should we do that? Attacking from distance is not enough to break her wall,” Shelia asked.
Whenever someone get close to them, those five mages would attack them using magic. That’s why it’s nearly impossible to defeat them.
If it’s Angela, she alone can defeat all five of them easily. As for me, I am best in fighting an enemy one on one, or by surprise attack. Which is impossible to do now. So, we can only fight them head on. Or we can wait until Angela or other people finished their part. But I don’t want to wait as we don’t know if there will be more people coming or not.
“Get behind me. I will transform Blobbies into a huge shield to protect us from their attack. It should be enough for us three to get close to them. as for the other werewolves, let them distract the enemies,” I said.
“Got it. Let’s go, King!” Jack shouted.
There’s no one named King here though. Oh, right. It’s me. I’m his king. I forgot.
I transformed Blobbies into a huge shield. About the same size as the drill I used before, but I made it thicker for defense.
And then, with that huge shield in hand, I run toward the Fireman. Not the Earthwoman. It’s because once the other mages see that the Fireman is attacking us, I hope they will not do anything until we get too close to them as they choose to believe the Fireman that he can handle us alone.
Shelia and Jack are running behind me, hiding behind the shield. They didn’t ask me why I’m charging toward the Fireman. They don’t care as long as we can get closer. I have told them the target is the Earthwoman, so as long as we can get closer, the two will target the Earthwoman instead.
I was right that the Fireman starts attacking us while the other mages are busy with other werewolves. He used Fire Spears to attack the shield. But the shield won’t be penetrated easily.
Not only it’s because the shield is thick, but also because I put Air Barrier in front of the shield. It’s impossible for my barrier to protect us from magic, but if it’s fire magic, I can use non-flammable gas for the Air Barrier to extinguish the fire.
Although the fire magic is stronger than my air magic, the shield can do the rest. This way, the strength of the fire magic will be lessened a lot. This is also the reason why I charged at the Fireman.

As the one holding the shield, I run at the front. Which means the two werewolves behind me have to adjust their speed. I also can’t use my full speed because I made the shield to be heavy. But this speed should be enough to reach them.
“Enemies coming! I can’t stop them alone!”
The Fireman informed the other four. And now, all four of them shift their focus to the big shield.
“If the fire is not enough, I’ll make it bigger with my wind,” Wind Oldman said.
Wind Oldman added wind to make the next Fire Spear stronger. But my shield can still handle it as we get even closer.
“Even that is not enough? Then, I will use my magic,” Lightning Woman said.
I guess it’s time to split up.
“Shelia! Jack! On my signal, we will split up! Don’t forget our objective. And even if you can’t reach the objective, at least take someone else down!” I said to the two werewolves.
“Understood,” Shelia said.
I watched the Lightning Woman closely and wait for when her attack will come. Lightning magic is difficult to control. Just like Jewel and Candy told me. It’s because they are the fastest magic. That’s why as long as I know when the magic will be casted, if we can move beforehand, it won’t be a problem. Unless the magic released is an AoE magic.
But that’s unlikely. I made Shelia and Jack running behind me so they can only target one spot. The shield.
“Now!”
Just as the Lightning Woman about to cast her magic, I gave the signal to split. And we jumped to the side. Shelia jumped to the right side, while Jack and I jumped to the left.
I no longer have the shield in my hand. It has changed into a gauntlet for my left hand, while I held the Reizpear with both hands. I restored the spear to its original form after I broke them apart as we jumped to the side.
No one would expect we dodged the lightning, but they are still experienced mages.
“Raise the wall!” the Iceman shouted.
They raised an Earth Wall facing toward me and Jack, and Ice Wall facing Shelia. They can’t raise one wall to protect everyone, so they raised two.
If it’s Ice Wall, Shelia alone should be enough. For Earth Wall, I am enough.
I thrusted Reizpear to the wall, right to where the Earthwoman is standing. This way, as long as I put Aura and my will to get my attack reach her from afar, I should be able to break the wall and hit the target.
At the same time that I broke the Earth Wall, Shelia broke the Ice Wall. I guess since they didn’t expect us to be able to get this close, the magic used was weaker than expected.
My thrust was dodged by the Earthwoman. She didn’t die, but it hits her side. As for Shelia who broke through the Ice Wall, she charged toward the injured Earthwoman and killed her before the other mages can raise other defensive magic.
Now, the target is down. But It’s not over as Jack has now entered through the hole in the wall that I made.
Seeing that the target is down, Jack changed his target to another mage. The Wind Oldman. I guess he’s smart enough to not let the one who can fly to escape.
We killed two of them in one go. Three more, but the fight will be easier now.
