Kyaaaaaah!!

The pained scream reverberated thunderously throughout the valley. It was so loud, in fact, the creatures busy rushing towards the fortress walls had to stop their advance and take a look back.

The electricity danced and crackled like a fish meeting water for the first time, causing a spectacular electrocution effect. Electrical sparks arced up from the entire body of the Medusa, scorching the creature black – so much so that its flesh even melted and bodily fluids began leaking out.

The Medusa writhed around in agony. One of the Bugs even forgot to finish chewing on a human that had been bitterly resisting the horde until now and dropped its jaw open. A corpse with clear fang marks fell to the ground.

Yet another spell ball flew and hit the head of the painfully-shrieking Medusa. Dozens of arrows of light rained down and evenly pounded on the creature's torso. The second scream from this attack caused the ground to quake even further.

Normally, this monster would have shaken off tens of such weak, simple magic attacks. However, it was already gravely wounded and there was the 'small' matter of the flames from the electricity burning it up.

Kyaaahuuk!! Kyahwuuuuk!!
Enraged beyond control, the trembling Medusa turned its head in the direction of where that strand of electricity had come from. In that spot, a lone human was taking aim at it with a bow and arrow. The Medusa flinched in surprise and hurriedly raised its hand to point at that offending human.

Kiiiiieeeehh!!

It exploded in fury, and fittingly enough, spat out a huge ball of flames. Seol Jihu hurriedly discarded the bow and reflexively fell down to the ground.

BOOM!

The ball of flames missed its target and managed to blow away over half of the strange cliff formation behind him, instead. The falling debris caught on fire and rained down on the valley below like burning hailstones.

'I'll just throw this, and…?!'

Seol Jihu was pulling out the last spell ball, but then, he abruptly raised his head.

The air touching his face suddenly felt hot. Black smoke blowing up furiously from almost everywhere blocked his view. And past that….

Tadadak!

He...
