Chapter 410 Fire (9)
Eventually, the students also joined the fray and they began to use water and Earth magic against the fire titan. However, the earth that they used only worked to increase the size of the monster, and water and ice spells only evaporated without doing much. Billy considered creating that storm and cooling down the enemy in order to make physical attacks work, but if he fails, he will waste a lot of mana. It was too risky of a plan…
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtInstead of that, Billy changed his plans once again. Instead of flying around the enemy, he focused on just flying in circles in front of the creature while he dodged the lava spheres and then he used Palm Cannon toward the pond on flames on the creature's chest… The best option way obviously takes out the core that was giving power to that massive creature. Billy didn't know what would happen if he achieved that, but it wouldn't be worse than letting a giant monster run around the world.
Billy attacked the same place over and over again, hoping that the shockwave would damage that area, but his attacks didn't even make the pond move. Not a single drop of lava escaped either… perhaps Alexander could do that with his giant bracers, but Billy couldn't give up so soon… His spears wouldn't last for long a direct hit, but he could make others as much as he wanted. Besides, they were more durable than regular weapons, so he decided to put more faith in them.
Billy stopped moving to focus on the next attack and stopped caring about his mana while he used Telekinesis to alter the course of the fire titan attacks toward him. once he did that, he began to charge his chain spear with mana and enhanced his right arm with all the energy that he could muster before throwing toward the chest of the titan.
In the end, the fire titan stopped its attacks and moved both arms to stop Billy's. He clicked his tongue that despite the fearsome speed of the spear, the creature still reacted on time to block the attack. Still, when the arms were hit, the whole creature trembled and staggered backward. Billy also saw some cracks appearing on both arms of the beast.
Billy recovered his spear with Telekinesis. If he could repeat the same attack over and over again under some conditions, he was sure that he could destroy the arms of the monster. After that, he will just go for the legs. Even a titanic monster like that wouldn't be able to do much without its limbs. Still, before he could attack again, the titan began to move in a weird way while lowering its posture and then in the next moment, a massive wave of steam was emitted from its body. Billy was forced to move away due to the power of the steam and he also saw the armies doing the same. It wasn't a powerful attack, but it forced everyone to move away from the beast… That couldn't be something good.
Even while moving away, Billy could feel the temperature increasing. It seemed that the enemy wanted to make the terrain even more favorable to itself… Billy has other plans for that, though. Using wind magic, he made a lot of the steam go upward. That was his plan to create a massive storm to cool down things. Rain and thunderstorms happen when the hot air below reaches the cold air above in the sky, after all. Unfortunately, that would take some time and the enemy wasn't planning to give Billy any.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe fire titan began to fire upward numerous lava spheres, their numbers were impossible to determine and Billy was certain that the monster wasn't planning to send those to space… they would eventually fall and the disaster would start.
While the enemy was busy with that, he decided to attack, but the creature stopped when it sensed the danger since Billy almost used the same spear attack. That was more than a little bit annoying… but at least he stopped the rain of lava from increasing in size. On the ground, the students were preparing earth walls since they also knew what was going to happen.
In any case, it seemed that the best option that Billy had was a physical attack that could use all of his stamina and some extra mana. To help him with that, he should bring Alexander and Natalie to his side. With their help, they probably will destroy the entire head of the monster, but in that case, they have to aim for the chest… so perhaps the core of the monster was the spawning fire golems core.
Before Billy could come up with a way to give them the chance to help, he suddenly felt a powerful wave of mana concentrating nearby and then he looked at the place his friends were. In the next moment, a blast of cold wind was fired toward the legs of the fire titan. It lasted for several seconds and eventually froze the legs of the creature. Sarah's power certainly had increased, but then when he focused his eyesight, Billy realized that Kate helped her as well.
"Dumbassess… aim at the core in the chest!" Billy said.
Billy regretted giving so much independence to them… to make things worse, he saw some crazy attacks being fired toward the frozen legs. He saw four cannons of energy joining and becoming one, so it seemed that Lily managed to copy that technique and work with Alexander and Natalie. At least they knew that the first attack wouldn't keep the legs of the monster frozen forever and decided to finish the job.
In the end, the entire creature began to tremble and soon fall since its legs were completely destroyed by that combined attack. Hopefully, the titanic fire golem won't regenerate itself before Billy comes up with a better strategy, but it doesn't seem like he will be able to capitalize on that… the lava spheres finally begin to fall.
