Chapter 105: Dominating
"Won\'t you be in trouble facing that summoner and the arachne?" Risa frowned.
"It\'ll be fine with this staff." Selena nodded her head, raising the staff he got from August.
Sasha wasn\'t a worrywart like Risa, so she immediately headed straight to the centaur. The centaur waved both swords at Sasha, while the latter struck them with her claws.
The elf wanted to shoot Sasha, but a blood tornado flew toward her, forcing the elf to jump to a different tree. Risa took off, using the aerial advantage to force the elf to focus on her.
Obviously, the summoner wanted to use his Ena to attack Risa, and the arachne wanted to spurt something from her mouth, but before they could do it, a burst of Ena came from the side.
The burst was unlike anything they had seen before. It cracked several trees around them and launched both the summoner and the arachne into the air.
The staff amplified Selena\'s attack by three times. This was the difference between a low quality wooden rod and a rod made by an elder dwarf. Even the gem in the staff\'s eye had the power to boost the flow of her Ena.
"What is that power?" The summoner gasped. He landed on the ground, but the impact made the area around his left waist numb.
The arachne regained her composure first and spurted out green-colored liquid from her mouth.
Selena formed a shield to block it, but surprisingly, the green liquid corroded it. Fortunately, Selena activated her barrier at the last second, stopping the green liquid for a second as she moved away.
The arachne followed her, but Selena shot out an explosive bullet at the arachne. The bullet traveled underneath the green liquid, taking advantage of that liquid to hide itself from the arachne.
*Bam!*
The bullet hit the arachne\'s stomach, blowing her away.
While Selena was focusing on the arachne, the summoner had looped around and attacked her from behind.
Selena turned her body, but it was too late for her to use that burst attack. The summoner swung his dagger, only to be stopped by the staff.
Yes, Selena actually stopped it with her staff. After that, she spun that staff to hit the summoner from above.
The burst of Ena created a small crater on the ground, but there was no one in it. At the last moment, the arachne shot out a web to the back of the summoner and pulled him out.
The summoner could only grit his teeth, thinking, \'Is she really a first year summoner? Are you sure she is not the target? No, we need to get her as well.\'
The summoner charged forward while the arachne shot her web to distract Selena.
Selena waved her rod from below, using the Ena like an ocean wave. The web was rolling back toward the arachne, forcing her to jump into the tree next to her.
After that, she spurted out another batch of poison. The summoner positioned himself in the opposite direction and approached Selena.
It would be impossible for Selena to block an attack from two directions, so one of them should reach her.
Obviously, the target was the poison. She used her Ena to deflect the poison while waving her staff at the summoner. The latter struck Selena\'s staff with his dagger, but surprisingly, her arm was scratched by that dagger even though it never touched her.
"!!!" Selena was startled, never seeing something this mysterious.
The summoner grinned and started striking her multiple times. Selena kept parrying one attack after another, but more and more wounds appeared on her skin out of nowhere.
In addition, the arachne was ready to release all the poison she gathered.
Unfortunately for him, the assassin shouldn\'t have shown the trick multiple times to Selena. She noticed that while it was faint, the blade was releasing Ena. That was what Selena had to aim for.
When the dagger was about to strike her neck, Selena blocked the attack and formed a shield with her Ena.
The shield actually stopped the Ena he transmitted, which shocked the summoner.
Because he didn\'t use a lot of Ena, it shouldn\'t be visible, and the Ena would be hard to sense. Yet the student in front of him could actually follow it.
\'How talented do you have to be with Ena?\' The guy bit his lips, but Selena had struck him from below, the burst of Ena launching him away.
However, he had bought enough time as the arachne\'s poison would hit her from behind.
Selena shocked them one more time when she swung that staff over her head, guiding an enormous amount of Ena to the ground.
"!!!" The arachne shuddered. If this continued, they wouldn\'t be able to harm Selena. In fact, they might be the ones getting destroyed.
"Master!" The elf was trying to help, but the blood spears rained on her. "Kh."
She glared at Risa. No matter what she did, Risa simply didn\'t give any chance to attack.
The same applied to the centaur and Sasha. They were engaged in high-speed close combat as they swung their weapons at the same speed, unable to break free from the other.
It seemed that the summoner and the arachne had to go all out because Selena had been fighting them like an absolute queen.
"This is not going anywhere." The summoner muttered before he released a massive amount of Ena from his body.
He lowered his stance and concentrated all that Ena on a single point, which was underneath his foot.
The burst of such an amount of Ena launched him like an arrow, reaching Selena in just a split second.
Selena was able to put her staff on the way, but the guy tilted his dagger at the last moment, hitting her shoulder quite deep.
"!!!" Selena widened her eyes in shock. If she wasn\'t fast enough, that dagger might actually hit her neck and kill her.
