Chapter 333 - Hatchlings Of The Flame P1

'Now it's time for me to test the only fire-element insight I haven't used in battle yet.'

Eren thought to himself and snapped his fingers as he was getting a one-sided beating from the restless wraiths. When he lay down on his back, being kicked, pierced, and maimed without getting any injuries, he saw a fireball with a radius of about a meter being created.

The creation of the fireball was taking place right in front of Eren's eyes as he was looking at the sky. The wraiths that were beating him had realized by now that there was some time bomb being created over their heads. So they paused and looked at it collectively.

The fireball soon stabilized. But instead of attacking anyone, it kept hovering in the air. Then it started shrinking as it released a conflicting mana pulse.

"Screeeeeee!"

The wraiths tried to use their sound attack on the fireball. As if to answer their call to battle, the fireball started growing multiple fire snakes from its outer surface.

The fire snakes acted as if they had been rudely awoken from their slumber. They turned their heads down and hissed at the wraiths in unison.

'Let's see what happens!'

Eren thought to himself and executed his assault. The fire snakes charged at the wraiths that were looking towards them. Their tails were still attached to the fireball as they attacked their opponents.

Seven wraiths remained inside the perimeter. So the seven snakes were able to deal with them. They first wrapped themselves around the wraiths before biting them on various parts of their bodies.

Eren turned to his side and rolled his way out of the eventual detonation of his spell fusion. He heard the wraiths screeching and screaming as he got up from the ground and stood up.

'See you…. Never, bitches!'

The fire snakes that had wrapped themselves around the wraiths detonated suddenly and a cluster of fire broke out. The rotten flesh of the wraiths was spread all around the area along with the black blood. The dark blue mana residing in it evaporated as soon as it made contact with the ground.

Eren was standing at a sufficient distance from the detonation. By the time his spell fusion detonated, he already had a couple of Solid Sparks ready. He threw his lightning element spell twice as soon as he confirmed the wraiths' bodies were destroyed. The seven wraiths' spectral forms stood no chance when they were subjected to the lightning treatment of the two Solid Sparks.

'Oh! The results are better than I had anticipated. I can also use the spell to restrict multiple opponents at the same time– making it a crowd control spell.

What should I call this spell fusion?

Hmm! Let's get started with Hatchlings of the Flame!'

Eren decided to name his fusion spell Hatchings of the Flame. Fusion spell had two variations, however. He had tried a crowd-control variation on the first try. Therefore, he would try a less mana-intensive variation that targeted an individual.

Eren only had a few stamina and mana recovery vials of potion left in his storage now. Thankfully, the tower had given him first aid options. He retrieved the bottles and drank the contents in them while looking at the opponents surrounding him outside the perimeter.

'Let's lure a few wraiths in.'

After Eren consumed a set of potions, he allowed a wraith to enter the perimeter. This wraith was a female goblin that was basically naked. She had daggers in both her hands and was looking at Eren with a dark blue glow in her eyes.

"Screeeee!"

The female goblin somehow could use a strange movement spell. She almost disappeared from her spot and tried to appear behind Eren's back. The butcher was already aware of her movements. However, he was shocked that the wraiths were still capable of surprising him with their spells. He also noted that a few wraiths displayed better intelligence than their mindless kins.

The butcher chose a frontal showdown. In no time, he had his pairs of katars in his hands. He assumed a defensive stance below his ribs from behind just as the lady goblin's dagger was about to hit him.

Clank!

A distinct metallic clash was heard as the butcher parried the goblin's sneak attack. He observed the lady goblin's feet and saw that they had been turned into a statue of dark blue ice completely. She had also left a trail of ice deposition on the ground because of her usage of the movement spell.

'Hmm! Interesting. The spell is effective. But it has a drawback.'

The butcher thought as he retreated after pushing the goblin's weapon away. He watched as the female goblin almost disappeared from him again. This time, instead of straining his mana sense, the butcher looked at the ice deposition that was forming on the ground. And figured out the direction of the attack the goblin was about to take.

'Fireball'

Eren executed a set of two fireballs over his palms and sent them upwards. They hovered over the battlefield–awaiting to be redirected and detonated by Eren's mana sense.

Eren then deployed another set of two fireballs the same way and used his katars to parry the sneak attack one more time.

'Screeeeee!'

The female goblin seemed angry that she was blocked once again. But she wasn't discouraged. She retreated using her exceptional speed, trying to perform the same attack and hoping to obtain different results.

But as she was performing her high-paced movement, the female goblin realized something had suddenly appeared in her path. She didn't seem afraid of the single fireball. But she changed her mind anyway, as a precaution against it.

But as soon as she changed her direction, the goblin saw that another fireball was waiting for her in her tracks. When she reached the spot, she screamed!

'Screeeee!'

When the female goblin was about to change her direction again, another fireball had come to meet her from her left side. This time she stopped for good and decided to confront the fireballs by forming ice shards.
