Chapter 173: War (15)
The enemies were caught off guard, to the point that even some of the earth mages were crushed by the boulder that they created.
The enemies panicked when they saw that kind of spell, and soon, the water snipers approached and attacked the fire tornado. Still, the spell began to move toward them while destroying a good part of their camps...
The wind and earth mages that were resting joined them to attack the spell. Still, since they weren't acting together, they only slowed it down a little while they were pulled toward it; before long, their screams of pain echoed in the area.
"They are looking for us... make the flames spread," Jori said.
Liss nodded while she was making an expression of effort and sweating. She used all of her remaining mana and focus to make the flames spread in all directions, consuming a bunch of tents and enemy soldiers on the blast.

Rain Awakened their competitive side, and they also learned that preparation was key.
In any case, when morning came, Rain felt a bit less tired since he managed to find a bit of balance between using Meditation and resting his head. The enemies attacked the walls a few times, but not that many times, and not that side of the wall.
"I guess it is time for that; the forearm guards are almost completely busted, so I have to buy the best ones I can find in the capital, and since I am already of this size, I might as well buy some that will work even in an adult body," Rain thought while he was stretching. "I guess it is time to get the shin guards as well. That will offer some extra protection and variety to my attacks."
Rain wanted some nice breakfast to start the day on a high note, but soon, he reunited with the others and only had some nations. They didn't know how long the battle would last, so they had to be careful with their food since reinforcements would come as fast as possible, and they wouldn't be able to do that while carrying a lot with them.
"We haven't received our orders yet, but I guess we need to talk about how we should fight today," Jori said while they were earring. "While we didn't have to use formations now, we should do that from now on for the sake of efficiency. We can't just let Rain dash ahead and offer support from a distance. That isn't much teamwork, and that also makes him use a lot of mana."
Rain didn't mind that much since he had the chance to get a lot of experience, but perhaps Jori had a point. Instead of going ahead like a cannon and only working for a few minutes, perhaps a more steady approach would be the best option since he would be able to fight longer, and the others would get stronger with him.
Battles like that were good to make him gain a lot of power, but it would be bad if something happens to his friends while he was away.
"We don't have to watch our back, so I think that something like this would work," Jori said while drawing on the ground. "Terra stays in the middle, and the rest of us deal with the enemies around us. Asche and Liss will be on the back of the formation, offering support since they can only attack so many times; Reca and I will be on the front but watching the sides, and Rain will lead the charge.
Sometimes, he doesn't have time to look to the sides, so we need to do that for him since he is getting hurt a lot in his blind spot."
"I guess that is fine. Rain can lead the charge and also Change its direction in case of need," Reca said. "Still, we might need to do that a few times to improve our coordination."
