After I got out of the tree where I was hiding, I'm flying in the direction where the Wood Elemental is.
As he was close to the blast he was badly injured, but from the information I have about the various types of Elemental Monsters, I know that his regenerative abilities are strong, so I hope to get there before he is fully recovered.
After five minutes of flying, I reach him and see the monster devouring another.
The Wood Elemental was 6 meters tall and looked like a tree from a horror movie, it had a mouth and eyes on the tree trunk, it also had big wooden arms and used its roots like wooden tentacles to get around, on top of its head had branches with sharp bombs, leaves that looked sharp, and big vines that fell through the branches.
When I arrived here this Wood Elemental was devouring a two-headed Lizard whose body was in pieces, moreover, he was already fully recovered from his blast injuries.
"Looks like you used a mate to recover faster." (I)
"< Spears of Fire >" (I)
"< Stone Thorns >" (I)
"< Thunder >" (I)
"< Sword of Light >" (I)
"< Dark Shot >" (I)
This time I don't make the same mistake as before and try several different elemental attacks to know which element is his weakness, luckily it seems that fire is his weakness.
"< Elemental Blade > ×5" (I)
This is a skill I created after synthesizing all the elemental blade skills I had, now I can use the same skill to launch different elemental attacks faster than switching between skills, plus I can choose to use mana or Ki plans attacks.This time I switch between various elements while using elemental Ki on my sword to make sure these monsters are weak against Ki or mana.
But it seems he has resistance against Ki, that's because my attacks did nothing against him, including a blade of fire.
After so many attacks he had realized where I was and stopped eating to attack me, he tried to use his vines to trap me, but I cut them with my sword and dagger.
"< Darkness Rune: Consume >" (I)
"< Fire Rune: Fire Spirit Blade >" (I)
Those are the only two Spirit Runes I am able to use at the moment, I must admit I spend very little of my time training my Spirit Runes.
But from what I can see the Spirit attacks were just as strong as the fire magic attacks, the spirit fire blade was mostly effective as it cut off one of the monster's arms.
"< Cursed Barrier of Fire >" (I)
I already spread my Aura around the area, and thanks to that I noticed the monster using its root tentacles to dig under the ground and get me from behind, but then I use a spell I learned from Érica to create a barrier around me that has a curse that will send the force of the blow back to the attacker but transforming it into a blast of fire.
Because of that when the roots tried to pierce the barrier behind me, an explosion happened to cause the wooden tentacles to shatter and fire to start spreading through the monster's roots.
To save himself from catching fire, he uses his other arm to cut off these roots to avoid being incinerated.
"It's already healing, that could be problematic." (I)
"That's the kind of enemy I've been training for." (I)
I activate my corrosion ability, I also start using my Affinities with curse and fire to make a magic circle while being protected by this barrier."< Sword of Condemnation of Flames >" (I)
It takes me a while to create this magic circle because it's a high level layered magic, after the magic circle is ready I point it up where it stands.
At that moment a red escape starts to come out of the magic circle after expanding to four times its size.
The monster realizes the danger and tries to attack the sword before it completely leaves the magic circle, all the leaves came out of the monster's branches making a whirlwind of small blades that hit the sword, or at least that's what the Wood Elemental expected.
"Wait for a little longer, don't be hasty." (I)
I stood in front of the attack that breaks my cursed barrier, but I was again using my blood cloak technique and used it to defend myself along with my wings that I close in front of me.
I managed to resist the attack with some superficial cuts and the 7 meter sword was outside the magic circle, the red sword is covered in purple flames spreading horrible heat around the surroundings.
"< Run >" (I)
I point to the monster that is controlling all the sharp leafless branches to try to pierce me and activate the spell as soon as the sword appears, with the activation password the sword that was floating turns its blade to the Wood Elemental and disappears.
"..." (I)
The next thing I see is the sword with its blade engraved on the monster that starts to catch fire all over, the spear-like branches that were coming towards me are in pieces on the ground also on fire.
The monster screams, but it only lasts for a few seconds before falling to the ground, on top of what's left of the monster's body it was devouring before I arrived.
I look over and see purple fire all around, so I lift my hand and that fire gathers in my palm before closing my hand and extinguishing the fire.
"This spell is very powerful, but it still uses up a lot of mana, but it's still better than what I had to do with That Life Golem." (I)
"I hate to face monsters with high regeneration capacity." (I)
With everything finished I got down and searched what was left of the bodies of the monsters, luckily I managed to recover the Core of the Wood Elemental, other than that everything else was in terrible condition.
When I'm done with that I see Layla, Ragnar, and Hela coming toward me.
"(I think the battle is over, it looks like everything went better than expected.)" (I)
