Chapter: 447
“Get ready.” Paul smiled from behind the group, not sounding very serious at all as he stood casually with his hands in his pockets. It seemed to be entertaining for him.
Jay laid his eyes on the knee-high creatures, though they were just out of the analyse skill range.
The wood-based elementals almost didn’t seem real.
They were spherical rolling balls of brown sticks; each of the sticks pointing outwards like tiny spears – perhaps distant cousins of sea urchins.
Floating around each of them were pieces of brown or yellow bark which looked like razor sharp leaves.
Periodically, the ball would stop rolling as pieces of the flying bark would clump together above the ball and form an eye-shape before turning back into flying bits of shrapnel again. The ball would then readjust its direction and continue on its journey.
“Such a strange creature…” one of the girls mumbled to themselves.
Jay ignored their comment and gave one last instruction.
“Call out if you need any help, we’re in this together.”
With that, he got into a crouched position, raised his ossein arming sword and prepared.
Unbeknownst to everyone else, Jay had some teeth clenched in his hand. Slowly and silently, he was covertly pumping necrotic mana into them.
Doing it this way wouldn’t let any of his glowing necrotic mana escape – while the spell itself would simply look like an exploding rock spell of some sort when he launched it.
Besides, if anyone asks about his spell, he could just shrug and say ‘privileges of being viladore’s student’ with a haughty smile.
The wood elementals rolled over; they weren’t very fast. They didn’t travel at a high running speed, but more at a brisk walking pace. It seemed manageable for now, so Jay took the time to analyse one of them.
