Surviving As An Extra In Fantasy World Isn't Easy-Chapter 188:Taking The Lead[3]
Chapter 188:Taking The Lead[3]
Two divergent beams separated and smashed over the icy wall.
Frederick's spear covered with a dense layer of lightning flickered with dense bluish flames.
The barrier under the barrage of lightning flames shattered and Frederick with his spear attacked, melting the remaining ice barrier.
Lucas's fist passing through it smashed the Ice Witch's left shoulder at once while Frederick aimed straight towards the chest.
Frederick's spear was just inches away from the core when a painful hollow scream emerged from Ice Witch's mouth and it counter-attacked by creating hundreds of spears of ice around her.
Just as the moment when all the spears with enough power to destroy a 5-Star were about to pierce Lucas's and Frederick's whole bodies, Lucas grasped Frederick's shoulder and the two figures disappeared into the shadows
A layer of mist was created from the ice spear striking the front. Through the mist, various images emerged shooting the veil of mist.
"Blazing Strike!"
"Rapid Inferno."
"Moonlight Slash."
"Bifurcation."
Ezekiel's dual swords glowed with flames while a vortex of fire rotated over Humphrey's blade.
Following them, a group of people jumped to attack at once.
Last time, all of their attacks were blocked and neutralised but now that they know that fire attacks were the weakness of this remnant, they were sure of striking a hit.
The remnant extended its first upwards to defend.
From its fist, a huge barrier manifested that clashed against the strikes pouring over it.
TUAAANG!
Due to the force of the blow, the two arms of the Ice Witch blocking the front were bounced off to both sides revealing the chest.
A shadow flickered before it and Parth's image appeared right before the Witch startling it.
Parth dagger wrapped in the darkness that had the power of negation moved straight towards the core.
The Ice Witch's eyes shook and before the point of contact, it exploded itself once again with an ice blast but a wall of rock created by Charles appeared that contained the explosion giving time for Parth, Ezekiel, Humphrey and others to retreat to a safe distance.
"Damn it!"
"I was this close, "Parth shouted and stomped his legs in anger.
"If it had a physical body instead of being a spirit, I swear I would have hacked it into pieces."
Ezekiel and Humprehy's expressions also turned worse. 𝓫ℯ𝓭𝓃𝓸𝓋ℯ𝓁.𝓬𝓸𝓂
"Tsk! Useless," Ezekiel grumbled, giving Parth a deep stare.
Though Ezekiel wanted to go for the last skill, he knew he wasn't capable and he may die unnecessarily so it was better to give this chance to others while saving energy and letting others waste their power.
"Stop wasting time and move away."Frederick's hurried voice echoed.
The group immediately fled aside leaving away for others to attack.
Behind them, a large pillar of flame rose up in the sky.
Dark red flames gathered around the cavity. Within the time brought by them, the Mages formed a group and casted a joint spell.
Lucas stared at the mana consumed and knew that the effect was going to be worthwhile which may keep the Ice Witch's focus at bay.
Though Monica wasn't an archmage candidate, her attainment in Magic was quite high.
'Now that I think, it might be because of that bastard Humphrey diverting her attention, she couldn't show her potential.'
Monica was the centre of the group while Roan, much to everyone's surprise, managed to do complex calculations quite easily to join the spell into one.
'Roan had a great talent. If only he could be a bit brave and daring.Even if he can't throw spells, at least he can make spells theoretically and sell them to others.'Lucas assesses Roan who was working together with the other mages.
The dark red flames that combined under the effective spell of everyone were once again shot towards the enemy, forming the shape of a winged bird.
The Ice Witch's cries of bewilderment at the astonishing sight instantly created a huge fog cold enough to cover the entire floor waving his hands.
A breathtaking fire taking the shape of a huge flame bird jumped into the mist.
BOOM!
BOOM!
"Oh, my God what a sight."
"Wow! That's awesome."
"What is that...."
Some who had fallen onto the ground let out a voice that seemed to be full of belief witnessing such an amazing spell.
The contrasting pair of white and red light reflecting over the horizon created a sight of pure bliss.
Fierce coercion occurred from both sides trying to devour one another.
The surface of the frozen lake cracks and bursts with countless pieces of ice rising upward with the power of freezing while the bird of flames descends over it.
The attack continued to clash in an explosion that erupted as the two completely different forces collided with one another creating several sonic blasts.
BOOOM!BOOM!BOOM
The appearance of minor cracks splintered over the icy figure of Ice Witch due to heat waves hitting her.
It was true that they were at a disadvantage but everyone could feel that the gap was narrowing.
The string of cold air seemingly coming back to life fought with a huge flame bird created by a huge dense flame.
The mages who were pouring their mana over the spells started getting exhausted.
At that time…
Swish!
An arrow fired by Rose pierced through the veil and struck the Ice Witch making the hole.
BOOM!
The Ice Witch managed to move at the last moment to avoid the fatal strike but the left side was blown away.
A terrifying howling sound came from Ice Witch.
"Now is our chance."
It tried to strengthen its attack and blast everyone but at the last moment, many pairs of hands pinned it.
Shadows flashed around the Ice Witch and held them.
Axel with his steel body, Charles's hands covered with Rocks, Parth with hands covered in darkness held it binding it to place.
Taking the opportunity for Ice Witch to focus on the flame bird, all of them sneaked in and held it.
Its movements halted and Frederick's spear engulfed with lightning pierced the heart of the remnant fixed by Charles, Axel and Parth.
Lightening converged and rotated over the spear tip producing a high temperature that melted the front part and then struck the heart.
After which as soon as it found itself getting pushed back, it summoned the cold mana and its body started shrinking back giving strength to the defence which wasn't a good situation for them who wanted to finish this battle quickly.
However, Frederick gritting his teeth and fighting against the frostbite in his hand, pushed the spear deeper and cracked the core.
Even though it was a remnant, the breaking of the heart and then the core was a fatal blow.
Dozens of mana particles condensed in the heart of the broken core spread throughout the body and the body of the remnants began to crumble and power inside the core started running amok.
Kiaaaahhhhh!
The remnant who had uttered a scream shook the body and exploded with an enormous shockwave shaking the whole place.
Those who were holding the Ice Witch were thrown out without being able to withstand such a resolution that shook their entire core.
The Flame bird burst out and disappeared in the high-speed freezing wind as the mages being exhausted were unable to maintain it.
Frederick's body stood rooted in a place frozen by the blast with his hands stuck like glue on the spear shaft.
With no power to control, it seems the core self-detonated and as Frederick stood frozen with his spear embedded inside the crumbling body of Ice Witch, he cursed.
"Damn, Lucas. I shouldn't have believed you."
"Fuck, I am gonna be killed because of you."
Frederick cursed Lucas and all his ancestors.
He always felt weird wondering why Lucas was reluctant to deal with the last blow.
But now he felt that the reason why Lucas didn't deal the finishing blow was because the person who shattered the core would die.
Seeing Frederick's worsening condition, the nobles who wanted the kill points, heaved in relief that it wasn't them who dealt the killing blow.
The chilling blast was too strong and Frederick's body due to the high concentration of cold became paralyzed for a moment and the chill from the broken core, traversing through the spear invaded his body even before he could react.
He thought he would die, along with many others as the mana gathered in Ice Witch was going berserk.
However...
Swoosh!
In a brief moment, Lucas appeared nearby Frederick and kicked Frederick, sending him flying for a distance.
Lucas then extended his fist grabbed his blood sword and pointed upwards activating Mana Devour.
With a shrill cry, the cold mana blasted explosively and wrapped around Lucas's sword.
All the cold air that had been fighting around was sucked into Lucas's sword.
"That..."
The group of participants who saw this felt an ominous sensation seeing the mana getting sucked in as if Lucas didn't manage to control it carefully, it was gonna explode killing all of them.
Finally, the agglomeration of such cold air reached its maximum.
Lucas groaned in pain feeling his numbing hands. His hands started freezing and his veins bulge due to the influx of blood trying to warm his arms.
Letting out a roar, Lucas directed the dense mana towards the top and shot it towards the sky.
An incandescent pillar of white light shot up with a flicker.
A wave rises from the condensed cold air and spreads throughout the cavity followed by a brief silence.
BOOOOOOOM!
A huge wave of cold air derived from the remnant exploded into the air covering the entire field vision after which a dense layer of mist erupted and snowfall carried along by a blizzard started to fall from the sky.
After the wave of energy passed, Lucas directly slumped onto the ground with frozen hands and legs.A severe numbing pain coursed through his body making him feel that he will break with slightest movement.

[...]
The voice of the ordeal helper cracked in the middle, startling everyone.
As everyone wondered what happened, a horrifying scream from a girl drew their attention.
"Arghhhbhhhhhhh!"
On looking at the source of the sound, goosebumps ran through their skin, seeing the sight of a familiar bloodied girl with a hollow torn chest holding a bloody chalice.
