Adventures Of A Goblin-Chapter 306 Stopping The Black Flame

The earth elder traced down the connection from his palm, all the way to the ground that had all four of Cerberus's legs imprinted on it.

When the tracing was completed, it was now time for him to invoke the connection that would lead to Cerberus's incapacitation.

With the success of the ability, it would give the elven elders, Theron, and Monryck more time to make their attacks on it without fear of being counter-attacked by its dangerous claw, its head, or the fire-breathing ability from its mouth.

There are a lot of possibilities that will be opened with its incapacitation.

On the other hand, there is but only one possibility for the failure of the incapacitation ability not working on Cerberus.

That one possibility is what they are about to find out soon enough. The earth elder's attack bounced off of Cerberus when he tried using it on him.

Cerberus as an existence, is a being that is far greater than what the earth elder could hope to comprehend.

eαglesn?νel Trying to incapacitate such a being, is the same thing as searching for light brown sand on a ground filled with beach sand. In other ways, a stupid idea and a waste of both time and effort.

Cerberus was done with its intimidating stare. From all three mouths, it released its black flame down on the four elders, with Theron and Monryck by their side.

They dispersed in different directions so they could avoid the black flame, all except for the water elder that is.

She could not risk evading the black flames only to have it destroy the geographical settings of the elven nation.

Or even worse, it continues to make its way down, burning everything that stands in its path, reaching an elven settlement.

The water elder was not the type to sit idly by and watch that happen.

By now, the elven forces will notice the ongoing battle, and then they will move according to the drill set in place for when situations like this occur.

That drill involves the evacuation of any elven residents far away from where the battle is taking place.

That is the drill set in place, and knowing how hard-working the elven forces are, they must be working effortlessly to keep the non-combatant elves away from here.

The water elder knew that, but she just could not risk the gamble of letting Cerberus's black flame run wild, not when she had no idea how far the residents have gone away from the battlefield.

With that thought in mind, she waited until the black flame was close to her before she could make her move.

The water elder swirled both of her arms by using them to draw an invisible circle in front of her.

What was to be considered invisible soon turned visible after repeating her actions about two times.

In front of her is a blue circle drawn. The water elder singled out two fingers, the middle finger and the one closest to the pinky finger.

She tapped the two fingers on the circle drawn. The circle glowed when the two-finger made contact with it, and then it released a massive wave of water that washed away the incoming black flame.

The rage of the water was more than the rage projected by the black flame spewed by Cerberus.

Like a tsunami, it swallowed the black flame whole. The water did not stop its reign of destruction by just taking out the black flame.

It went as far as attacking Cerberus after it had taken out the black flame. The water got to where it was standing, and washed his body whole, away from its position to crashing through the cave wall that was behind it.

When she was done, the water elder felt a little bit nauseous as she went on one of her knees and held her head with her right hand.

She had to use a massive amount of mana in releasing the water-based attack that overwhelmed the black flame.

Although in her defense, it was worth every ounce of mana if it meant having a chance to protect the elves she swore an oath to protect. Google search 𝘧𝓇𝗲e𝑤𝑒𝙗noѵ𝒆𝚕. 𝒄o𝓶

Monryck who saw the action done by the water elder, and the aftermath of her losing her footing, did not have the same thought as she did.

What she had just done is an action that is going to cost them one less manpower and that is a liability they cannot afford to shoulder at the moment.

They need all hands on deck if they are to have a chance against Cerberus. Short of one hand, is a risk that is not just going to work on probability and assumption like the water elder did.

It is a fact that could very well end up leading to the destruction of the elves, and in the worst-case scenario, put the fate of the world in jeopardy.

From his point of view, losing the lives of a few is better than losing the lives of all. While it might look like a cruel option, it should be taken note that there are times when hard choices are meant to be made by leaders.

That is what makes them leaders. They make sacrifices that do not just benefit half of the group they lead, but decisions that will advantage the future well-being of the entire group.

The earth elder went to the water elder and helped her get on her feet.

"Are you okay". He asked, putting her arm on his shoulder to aid her in standing.

"I am fine. I just need a little bit of time to recuperate is all. I will be back in shape once I have rested for a minute".

They are both aware that they do not have a minute to spare, but neither of them can say it out.

Better to have her temporarily exit the battle than end up a liability that the team has to cater for.
