Chapter 689: Elemental Guardian Knights
"Hm? There\'s a battle there? I didn\'t even notice that a minor sealed area collapsed a few minutes ago. We just happened to be here." Oceanid stopped the Gravy Ark\'s advance as they neared the western edge of the Human Continent. He checked his golden talisman to make sure of something.
"But, the accursed monsters over there only numbered in hundreds, and the strongest ones only have two Spirit-level monsters. The thousand and five hundred troops there can easily deal with that. We don\'t need to get involved in this one." Nell peered down and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Uhm? Have a look over there! Those three guys in eye-catching armor... Oh, there\'s another one over there! Could it be that they were the boys who received Ely\'s core ball?" Sylvia pointed towards the front line, at the knights in flashy armor.
"Eh? Are they here? Yep, that\'s four of them. I think they\'re Senior Raylee, Brian, David, and Ashton..." Elysia blinked her eyes in amazement as she gazed at the battlefield below.
For some reason, she felt a little embarrassed because she first made the test artifacts with Rhea, Elena, and Nell with her childhood fantasies as a basis. The artifacts were successfully created even with various defects, but they were still powerful artifacts to use.
"By the name of holy light, lend me your divine elemental power. Burn to ashes, explosion!" The red knight spread his arms wide while shouting loudly.
*Boom!*
An explosion with a radius of tens of meters hit the Spirit-level monster.
"Hahaha! One has fallen. With this power, I can protect many people and uphold justice." The red knight laughed out loud and rested his hands on his hip.
"Looks like that monster is still standing firm, boss." The nearby purple knight pointed towards the front.
"Hah, as expected of a powerful cursed monster. He couldn\'t have been wiped out so easily, or this wouldn\'t have been an epic battle." Brian raised his fist with a snort. He then paused for a moment and looked at his comrade. "But, David, ahem! I mean, Electro Knight, please call me Pyro Knight. We are Elemental Guardian Knights and have agreed on that, right?"
"Affirmative, Pyro Knight Boss!" David saluted.
Red flames were still everywhere, leftover from the explosion earlier. The blast crushed some of the low-tier accursed monsters, but the giant one-eyed bull-like creature still stood firm with only a few scratches.
The hot flames still burned the giant monster\'s body, but it wasn\'t that significant.
"Roar!!!" The Spirit-level monster roared loudly into the sky while beating its chest like a king kong. It then immediately lunged at Brian and David with thick killing intent.
"Oh? Instead of running away, you\'re approaching me? Since that\'s what you\'re trying to do, then you\'ve obviously chosen death." Brian banged his fists together. He was ready for close combat. However, his mind began to think of a dozen ways to take his element advantage for some physical damage output.
"What makes it take you so long to take care of just one, Red? Green and I are done wiping the big guy out of the fray." An azure knight darted from a distance and stretched out both hands forward. "Water Blast!"
*Boom!*
An elemental reaction explosion was created and sent the giant monster flying aside.
"What are you doing, Hydro Knight!? That big boy is our prey, and why did you put out my fire!?" Brian clenched his fists in annoyance.
"This is a battlefield, kid. You can\'t let powerful enemies stand for so long. You can do many things other than flexing your flashy yet insignificant magic. You can put my Holy Angel to shame. Look at me. finish off the enemy, without mercy and delay!" Ashton threw some blue balls at the giant monster.
Those water balls looked harmless, but it was completely different when they exploded.
*Boom* *Boom* *Boom*
"Who are you calling a kid? I\'m a big adult!" Brian also immediately lunged at the monster and joined in releasing several attacks.
"Wait, why does the fire seem to be getting bigger even though I just rained it with so many water bombs?" Ashton paused for a moment and landed on the ground. He put his hand to his chin as he stared at the sea of ??fire.
"Haha, I thought so. The elemental magic produced from our battle armor assistance is not regular elementals. They are special, and it\'s fine if we put it all to work together. Watch this. I\'ll add a little boost on top of the crop." A green knight descended from the sky and released several large wind chakrams into the sea of ??fire.
*Swoosh!* *Boom!*
Explosion after explosion once again shook the front line. The other knights couldn\'t help but distance themselves from there for fear of being hit by friendly fire. Although, the unlucky monsters were crushed by the blasts.
"Hm? Does our battle armor element work like that? We could easily slay a Spirit-level monster with the cooperation of two, but what if we combine four elements? Hmm... That\'s an interesting revelation, Anemo Knight." Brian stroked his chin and nodded in understanding. It was as if he had just had an epiphany.
"Electro Knight, launch your attacks into that vortex of the sea of fire. Let\'s see what kind of explosion it will produce. Anemo, Hydro, you too. We\'ll see what happens when the four elements are combined into one, keke..." Brian rubbed his hands together enthusiastically.
"That\'s a good idea. The other knights and warriors have also taken their safe distance. Let\'s do this." Raylee nodded in agreement and formed two air discs ready to explode in both hands.
"Let\'s go!" Ashton was also ready with his water bombs.
"Affirmative." David formed two lightning spears.
With that being said, Brian formed flames in both hands. He and his three comrades launched their attacks simultaneously toward the battered giant monster.
*Boom!*
That combined magic created a more incredible explosion than anyone could have expected. It soon grew to fifty meters in radius, but the blast sent the sounding monsters flying several hundred meters away.
"Are you crazy!?"
"You repelled the monsters we were supposed to exterminate in the anti-curse zone!?"
"Those monsters can run away and cause big trouble!"
"Aargh! Hot, hot! I\'m on fire. I\'m burning!"
"Please watch out for your explosions and fire!"
"Friendly fire, friendly fire!"
The surrounding knights and poor warriors were affected. They immediately voiced their grievances with protests and angry cries.
The four flashy knights were also blown away because they were so close to the center of the explosion. However, they immediately stood up as if nothing had happened.
"Wow, this is quite an overkill. Who would have thought our four special combined magic would create an elemental reaction of this level." Raylee stared in awe at the thunderstorm vortex in front of him.
"Oops." Brian scratched his head reflexively.
"Hory shet! Luckily, no one received serious injuries from the fierce fire blast. You are a brave knight. A little burn won\'t kill you! Raise your weapon and slay those weak-ass monsters for good. Chase the ones that bounced far away! Go, go, move, move!" David shouts loudly to counter the blame. He threw a command for everyone to move so they wouldn\'t be blabbering nonsense.
"Ah, uuh..." Elysia didn\'t know what to say. She was just watching from the sky bag, but she felt a little embarrassed because those flashy knight\'s battle armor could be told as her craftsmanship.
\'Pfft, they send themselves flying by their own magic blast? Are they truly using that funny nickname? Elemental Guardian Knights? It\'s really entertaining, actually. How about you, Ely?\' Elena couldn\'t help but chuckle at sight below. Those boys were silly and funny.
\'Well, at least they can help many people by exterminating those accursed monsters.\' Elysia put her fingers together.
"Wow, who would have thought they could utilize such a combination of elemental magic. Do we need to help them exterminate the monsters that bounced off? Those monsters can escape." Sylvia pointed at the monsters that were quite far from the anti-curse zone.
"No need. They are just low-tier monsters, and the troops there have dispatched several hunting squads. Those humans will drag the monsters to the anti-curse zone for execution." Oceanid shook his head.
"I see…" Sylvia nodded in understanding and went back to watching the battle below.
"Let\'s take a look at this place for a moment before we leave, just to be sure." Rhea made a suggestion.
Oceanid just nodded in reply.
"So, the one that injured that big guy so much to death wasn\'t the magic, but the elemental reaction of that combined explosion magic." Nell stroked her chin and nodded with some understanding.
"It doesn\'t apply to all accursed creatures. Some of them have high resistance to magic and elemental attacks." Rhea shook her head to remind everyone about the truth.
"Yeah, only Elysia and her master\'s magic can do that much damage to those accursed monsters despite their high resistance to magic. I\'m still amazed by that fact." Oceanid folded his arms and glanced at Elysia.
"..." Elysia only put an innocent expression.
"Nee, Ely, where is your master? She hasn\'t been seen since this morning. Is she going somewhere or doing something?" Nell suddenly asked. It had been bothering her since morning, and now was the perfect moment to bring it up.
"My master, she... Uhm, she is doing something important in her realm. Master will rejoin us as soon as her business is done." Elysia was a bit confused in sorting out the words. She couldn\'t say everything bluntly either.
