The Witcher: Elemental Lords

Those bats were extremely afraid of fire. As the fireball ascended, they naturally tried their best to avoid it. However, many bats were still injured or killed by the shockwaves from the fireball's explosion. A rain of corpses fell from the sky, and the acrid stench of burning and decay filled the entire area.

Sano was an apothecary and rarely used magic. He only launched that attack because he saw the bats gathering, and after releasing it, he quickly moved forward.

Morris and Dorai, who were behind him, frowned when they saw this.

At this moment, there were more and more bats in the sky.

He felt that something was wrong.

Morris suddenly realized something and shouted loudly to Dorai, "Instructor, it seems they are coming from the black cave. Look at the direction those bats are coming from!"

The sky was dark and oppressive. Dorai hadn't carefully observed them. He was walking and looking around, feeling somewhat speechless.

What was this all about?

These bats were at most on par with ordinary wild beasts. What kind of harm could they do to them?

As he was thinking this, a loud and harsh sound suddenly came from the sky. Dorai looked back and saw a huge bat, as large as a forest wolf with a wingspan of five feet, flying from the mountain. It was extremely fast. When he first saw it, it was still far away, but the next second, it was already in front of him.

He thought to himself that this was not good. "Morris, you and Troe take the team down. I'll hold this big guy back."

The closer it got, the more he could feel the immense aura emanating from the large bat. It was a dark energy, carrying a bloody scent. This large bat was clearly extraordinary.

Without thinking, he raised his hand, and four or five streaks of light quickly flew forward. At the same time, two fireballs rapidly formed beside him, blocking the left and right sides.

That giant bat was heading towards the crowd. Seeing Dorai's magic, it immediately screeched and squawked, and the bat swarm in the sky instantly became chaotic.

Morris shouted in alarm, "Quick, move! Everyone gather together and cast 'Burning Hands'! Sano, get out the silver blood poison."

He saw that Instructor Dorai was actually releasing seven or eight spells at once to meet the giant bat. The scene was extremely spectacular.

He was somewhat horrified. The mental precision of this pharmacomancy instructor from the Northern Kingdom was truly terrifying.

The magic missiles were extremely fast, traveling several meters in a second. However, even so, the giant bat nimbly dodged them in the air with several quick turns. It was very fast, but the next two fireballs were not so easy to avoid.

Although the fireballs flew in a straight line, they were aimed at the direction Dorai predicted it would dodge.

Two loud explosions rang out. The giant bat was grazed by one of the flames, and its body immediately became unstable. At this moment, it released a black gas from its body, forcibly extinguishing the flames, and flew towards the forest, turning its gaze towards Dorai, emitting angry screeching sounds, as if it had locked onto Dorai.

Dorai couldn't be happier that it had locked onto him. Under his control, there were always two or three magic missiles closely following the giant bat's movements.

His magic missiles were launched quickly and flew fast, almost two per second. The missiles plunged into the jungle, hitting trees and leaves, leaving holes everywhere.

This was the tactic of a typical mage: to keep the enemy out. Mages excelled at this kind of tactic.

At this time, the people in front also saw this situation. Morris and Sano roared angrily, and the students also became chaotic.

"What are you shouting for? Hurry back and get reinforcements for me!" Dorai turned his head and roared impatiently.

The students also understood the danger at this time and ran towards the bottom of the valley.

A large group of people releasing 'Burning Hands' was quite a sight, like a fire dragon winding and spreading through the mountains. Those ordinary bats really didn't dare to approach. Occasionally, some daring bats would approach, but once they did, they would be frightened away by the flames or reduced to ashes.

Soon, only Dorai was left on the mountain.

At this time, Dorai was mostly focused on watching the giant bat's movements, releasing magic missiles at any time. He didn't need to care about the surrounding small bats. As long as they dared to come over, he would crush them to death with a 'Magic Hand'.

His 'Magic Hand' was very large, fully two people tall. The five fingers were inverted, enveloping him, like a magic shield protecting him.

Ordinary bats had no way to break through the magic shield. Only the giant bat could break it.

The two sides were deadlocked.

"That was close. Luckily, I practiced the Fire Elemental Spirit Meditation Technique. My mental strength is almost twice that of ordinary people, and the consumption of fire magic is half of others. The affinity is also greatly improved. Otherwise, this flying behemoth alone would be enough to handle."

Dorai stood in place, surrounded by magic missiles and fireballs at any time. Those monsters really didn't dare to approach for a while.

Controlling seven or eight level-one spells at once was not too burdensome for Dorai, but it was not easy either. At this time, he was mentally tense and couldn't care about these things.

After a while, his magic power slowly decreased, and Dorai knew the seriousness of the situation.

Night came early in the mountains. After dusk, it was night. The sky gradually darkened, and with the decrease in magic power, he had to prepare for the next step.

That bat was still flying in the distance, but those ordinary bats had gradually disappeared. Soon, the big bat also disappeared into the forest. It was not retreating, but hiding in the trees.

He looked at his feet and carefully stepped back.

At this moment, there was movement in the mountain, and a black shadow darted out.

Dorai's heart sank. This guy was really persistent. He hurriedly raised his head, scanning the surroundings with both his mental power and eyes. At the same time, the dimmed magic missiles immediately brightened up.

Gone?

Just then, a strong dark energy came from behind him. Dorai was shocked and hurriedly reversed the Magic Hand, blocking it behind him, while his eyes looked forward.

He was afraid this was a feint.

Boom.

The Magic Hand vibrated violently, and Dorai's magic power rapidly decreased. At the same time, he saw a black shadow suddenly appear from the ground in front of him, quickly shooting towards him.

The black shadow grew larger and larger, swelling to two meters wide in the blink of an eye, pouncing on his face.

Dorai snorted and reversed the remaining Magic Hand, suddenly punching forward, while two fireballs quickly formed in front of him.

Boom.

The black shadow directly broke through the Magic Hand, slowing down slightly, and continued to fly towards Dorai. In the dim light, he could even see the bat monster's sharp teeth and the red claws hidden beneath it.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, he put his hands together, and the fireballs roared forward.

Boom.

The two fireballs exploded together, and the flames splashed, forming a circle of explosive air waves, blasting Dorai out along with it.

Strangely, the flames that fell into the surrounding forest completely disappeared before they even hit the ground.

With this magic, he had put all the power into the explosion, losing any combustibility.

…

On the mountain ridge, two figures were standing on a rock, looking towards this side. Seeing this, the two shook their heads slightly.

Bats lived in the Black Cave Valley, but they usually only came out at night, and their strength was not strong. This Instructor Dorai was so powerful that the guy must have been crippled by those two fireballs.

It was their turn to appear. The show was over.
