Vile Evil Hides Under The Veil Chapter 249 - Blue Fire Domain

Chapter 249 - Blue Fire Domain

With the backing of team play and flawless personal spell execution, Ramy had slain the about-to-evolve F-Rank beast in mere moments after his recovery.
"Hm? Wasn't that too easy? Why wewe we scawed of this wild powk when we could cut him this easily?"
Ramy landed on the ground and observed the beast's headless torso before commenting. Ana and Jake followed him soon after. The tank heard the knight's opinion and shook his head before making him realize the obvious truth:
"The "powk" wasn't EASY to kill. It wouldn't have let you execute the spell that easily if I hadn't tied it down. That's why I said we should have done this from the beginning.
Plus, I can see that your elemental spell was the bane of the beast's earth-element defensive spell. That's the biggest baddie in the sounder headed our way I guess. You are a trouble magnet Ramy. There's no two-way about it. Haha!"
Ramy heard this only focusing on the last part Jake had said about him. He started arguing with the tank then and there while Ana was looking at them with a range of emotions making a commotion in her head.
She felt a bit guilty that she couldn't help the duo fighting the beast. But she then told herself that her job as a healer was to assure her safety first and help her injured members if and when the need arises. This is what she accomplished on this mission.
Ana was also impressed by how Ramy had bounced back from his failure and faced the beast again without any hesitation in his stance. She wasn't sure she could do that if she were in his shoes. The healer thought that she would surely have cold feet after getting injured by the beast the way Ramy had been.
The team's tank, Jake, was equally impressive in her eyes. He had done nothing particularly impressive or over the top during the mission. But he had straightened up Ramy and supported him splendidly. Jake's strongest suit was his people skills and ability to make rational decisions despite any form of stress.
Ana hoped that she as a healer would be equally talented as her teammates in the future. She thanked Eren in the mind for guiding her and allowing her the opportunity to become a part of this team when she was nobody; a rankless LA student.
Another bunch of boars headed the group's way while Ramy and Jake were arguing. The adult boars had seen Ramy effortlessly take care of their leader. The Earth Suidae was a one-track and revenge-driven species.
The adult bears were not merely punishing the intruders for their transgressions. Additionally, they realized Ramy shouldn't be given the leeway to catch him at any cost. Their young would be slaughtered without a chance to fight back.
When they saw another group of bears heading their way, they stopped fighting and prepared for battle. By now, Ana, Jake, and Ramy had found their rhythm and knew what to do. So their next battle strategy was formed without them exchanging their words.
No matter how cautious and alert the boars tried to be while fighting Ramy, they still ended up underestimating him. The latter also had realized that taking help from Jake worked in his favour. So he didn't hesitate to coordinate with the team's healer from the get-go.
Needless to say, the trio took care of another bunch of boars after fighting with them for a while. Ramy did not have any serious injuries on him this time. So Ana didn't have to do much. And she was happy about it.
*******************
Becky was given free rein to tackle the direction she was assigned to. She was a mage with AoE spells after all. Her job was to engage the bunch of boars heading her way without damaging the tusks their mission had asked them to collect.
I must have been given this role because I had once asked Eren to let me use my AoEs in my way. Damn it, the guy holds a grudge.'
Becky thought while seeing a group of boars charging towards her. They snorted their noses in unison, making their nostril-driven war cries reach her ears first.
Becky raised her hand and drew a series of concentric mana circles in the air with the movements of her fingers acting as the brush strokes. Her school of spells required her to make such spectral runic circles in the void before she could cast the spells.
Becky saw that the group of beasts had entered the range of her AoEs. She smiled and touched the innermost circle of the spectral rune in front of her before making a rotating action.
"Blue Fire Domain!"
********************
Becky cursed herself for opening her mouth to often argue with Eren after hearing his battle plan for this Besanc mission. But it was not like she enjoyed doing it. There was something about the guy that would just tick her off.
She would argue with Eren all the time, yes. But she would also ponder over why she argued with him at the end of the day. Because Eren would always manage to come on top every time she did.
Her elemental affinity and inherent nature had granted her unique ability. The ability to sense the coldness of a ranker's aura. And she had sensed that out of all the rankers she had met in her life, Eren's aura was the coldest.
Becky's spells could be considered as unique as the combination of her affinity and inherent nature. Her hybrid elemental affinity was fire, which was considered a normal affinity. But her inherent nature was the coldness, which had given her spell-generated fire a unique effect.
Her fire would burn blue. And instead of scorching things, the fire would absorb all the heat from its targets, practically freezing them after their regular temperatures were brought down forcefully.
