Chapter 152: 152 A True Fire Domain

“Igni Lotus!”

Eren cast his spell, powering it with his infinite mana core.

This was the true-domain spell that had made Eren fork out loads of Mana Quartz. This kind of spell was beyond Malcolm’s selling reach.

***

Eren had bought this spell from his guild. The kingdom’s approval came a few days after the Bulal Blood’s mission completion. It had turned Stardust guild into a three-star organization, granting it enhanced rights and new resource allocations.

The guild’s existing members were now allowed to make use of the guild’s three-star status. They were given access to better resources by the kingdom.

Thus, all the rankers who had money bought higher-tier spells of their element that they weren’t allowed to have access to. Some of the spells fell into the restricted category.

It meant that the restricted spell usage in question would be illegal for the rankers if they were seen using it. Unless they had bought the spell legally, paying the kingdom a hefty tax for it.

This was the reason behind Eren paying almost the same amount of money for this one spell as he had paid for the rest of the Igni spells combined, which he had bought from Malcolm.

***

The blue monster faced the wind-element arrows that rained on him using his arms as his shield. His fortified mana defense also allowed him to fight off the stray arrows. But some of the arrows had managed to lodge themselves into his body.

The repeat collision of arrows on the same spot had allowed them to breach the blue monster’s natural mana defense layer. But these arrows weren’t enough to make the monster give up fighting with the wretched humans.

The rain of wind-element arrows eventually started to subside. Eren had also hit his maximum height of the jump by this point, starting his descent at terminal velocity. The monster seemed to have smirked when he saw a falling Eren approach him.

“Daryaav!”

The monster had various wounds on his body due to facing a barrage of wind-element arrows. However, he seemed stoked, attacking his prey that was soon going to get delivered to him, thanks to gravity.

However, just when the blue Slaad thought he would launch an attack on Eren he felt a sense of danger all around him. He warily looked around him to identify the source of the danger, only to find out that it was everywhere.

Zhmmm!

A strong and intense mana pulse was released as the area all around the monster was taken over by the domain of fire. Flames erupted from the ground and thin air, covering the monster from all sides and making him disappear within them.

This domain of fire soon took the shape of an orange-yellow flame lotus. Each of its petals was made from fire-element petals. The pistil or central part of this flame lotus had entrapped the blue monster, isolating him from the surroundings.

“Daryaav!”

The blue monster released a cry of pain and agony as his body started to burn in the fire’s domain. After fortifying his mana defense layer, he sprinted out of the area regardless of the injuries he had suffered on his legs.

However, he soon found out that exiting the domain spell was not as easy as he thought it to be. By the time he had reached the edge of the flame lotus’s pestle, the runic since options could be seen appearing on the petals as well as all over the mana-manifested flower.

These fire-element runes represented the way of fire. As such, they prevented the blue monster from getting outside the domain by generating a repelling effect. Following this repelling effect, intense flames prevented the monster from continuing to attack the domain’s barrier.

The blue monster needed to launch a strong and precise attack on the barrier that would break the fire-element runes first. Only then would he have a chance to exit from the barrier.

Eren could see the appearance of his domain from above as he was descending. He had to say that the name of the spell was apt as it really looked like a flame lotus spanning about 15 meters in diameter had appeared on the ground that was blazing with orange-yellow flames.

“Here I come, diving deep. Drowning willingly.”

Eren entered his own domain with excited expressions. To be honest, it was his first successful casting of the spell. His spell castings were never this successful when he was trying it out. Sometimes the stress of a real fight was necessary to bring out the true potential of rankers and their spells.

The runic restrictions of the flame domain didn’t prevent its caster from entering the domain. The flames carried his mana signature and thus did not damage him.

Eren felt like he had entered a hot sauna made especially for him when he landed on the ground with a loud thud. He was not attacked by the monster who was trapped in the same domain. He was too busy trying to get the hell away from the hellish inferno to care about Eren.

“Yo, big guy! I’m right here.!”

The flames all around Eren obscured his vision. Yet, his mana sense wasn’t hindered by the spell’s mana pulse, unlike the monster’s. Thus, he willingly chose to clash with the monster.

The domain spell had given Eren newfound confidence to face off with a monster like blue Slaad. The monster tried his hardest to maintain his mana defense layer while trying to launch a barrage of attacks on the barrier.

The monster’s exoskeleton claws which were the monster’s most lethal weapon had become useless in the situation he had suddenly found himself in. He retracted his claws and focused his gaze on the voice that came from behind him.

“Daryaav!”

The blue monster was able to locate Eren due to the latter’s heads-up. He charged toward Eren with all that he could muster because his life depended on it. He knew his mana defense layer wasn’t strong enough to hold up in the flame domain for much longer.

Eren smiled when he heard the monster charging towards him with loud thuds of footsteps. The ground was quaking a bit because of the 14-foot-tall monster’s charge.

Eren raised his right hand towards the incoming opponent before casting a volley of fire-element spells using the fire-element mana that was present all around him.
