Chapter 84 Catching a Turtle in a Jar

The blue-haired witch's attacks were ineffective, so she stopped her offensive in order not to waste her magic.

"Let me see what tricks you have up your sleeve."

Just as Cassius speculated, because they needed wind to maintain their flight, the presence of wind when they got close to them would expose the blue-haired witch's whereabouts and render the cognitive impairment ineffective.

The reason she kept using invisible wind magic attacks was that the more obvious the attack, the less effective the cognitive impairment would be.

In other words, without new magic, the blue-haired witch seems truly powerless against them.

"Spinka".

At this moment, Anna had already cast a fire shield on Spinka, so he wouldn't be harmed by the high temperature until the shield disappeared.

"I see."

With the support of the fire shield, Cassius's figure suddenly became blurry and then disappeared.

Unlike the blue-haired witch's cognitive impairment, this is invisible light magic.

Whoosh!

As Spinka disappeared, a claw mark appeared on the ground beneath him, but Spinka had already left.

thump.

Spinka landed discreetly on the lava not far away, and then began to scatter small balls in his hand across the surface of the lava.

The runes on the surface of the small sphere glowed, and when they were sprinkled onto the lava, the surrounding lava converged towards the small sphere, eventually turning into a writhing lava ball.

Upon closer inspection, it was a slime, or more precisely, a lava slime.

This is a magical artifact researched by the Slime Slayer Adventure Team. It engraves magical runes on the core of a slime, and when infused with magical power, the core absorbs surrounding matter and condenses into a corresponding slime.

However, this move requires a lot of magical power, and the slimes it can generate depend on the surrounding matter, so its practicality is very unstable.

"I've found you."

boom!

Spinka, who had concealed his form, was suddenly sent flying backward, and the small spheres scattered in all directions. But just before he was attacked, the fire shield blocked some of the damage for him.

Spinka fell into the lava, then immediately got up again.

"Cough cough..."

He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and looked at the spot where he had been attacked, which was now occupied by a blue figure.

"You... you just flew down from the sky and attacked me?"

"Yeah, after all, you'll be detected if there's wind magic around, but you won't be detected if you attack directly."

The blue-haired witch held the balls that Spinca had just thrown out and examined them carefully.

"A slime golem?"

"That's right, this is a gift from us to you... cough cough."

Turning around, Cassius, who had been lying on the ground, had stood up. Although the wound on his chest was still gruesome, it was much better than before.

Cassius looked at the blue-haired witch and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

"Oh? I'd like to see what you're going to do."

Splash...

Suddenly, a pair of giant hands emerged from the lava not far from the blue-haired witch's feet and reached out to grab her. With a wave of her wand, the blue-haired witch sliced ​​the newly formed hands into several pieces.

That was a lava giant controlled by Anna, but it was too slow, and such an attack posed no threat to the blue-haired witch.

However, all she had to do was get the blue-haired witch to defend herself.

As the blue-haired witch's attack landed, countless newly formed lava slimes suddenly became active and shot towards the blue-haired witch, but as soon as they got close, they were blown away by an invisible gale.

"These worm-like slimes, do you think they can hurt me?"

The blue-haired witch looked at the crowd, but what came towards her was a large black sword. Her expression changed, and she used the wind to push herself away.

boom!

A small mistake can lead to a huge error. The giant sword swung by Slime Slayer struck the lava, cutting a massive gash.

"Too slow!"

Before Slime Slayer could even regain his footing after his initial attack missed, the blue-haired witch had already delivered a kick.

clang!

Her leg struck the Slime Slayer's greatsword, sending him flying several meters before his legs sank into the lava. Just as the blue-haired witch was about to press her advantage, another pair of daggers wreathed in black flames stabbed at her.

With a flap of her wings, the wind propelled the blue-haired witch into the air, simultaneously pushing away the attacking Spinka and dodging a fierce blow. The burning black sword grazed past her feathers.

The two figures were positioned one above the other, and the blue-haired witch stomped down hard on Spinka!

boom!

"Cough!"

Spinka was stomped on and knocked to the ground, smashing a large crater in the lava, and blood spurted from his mouth.

But the blue-haired witch was not faring any better. Flames erupted from her body, the effect of a fire shield. Attacking the fire shield at close range would result in being devoured by the flames.

"Ugh, what a hassle!"

A fierce wind swirled around her, extinguishing the flames. The blue-haired witch raised her wand, intending to stab Spinka at her feet.

Whoosh whoosh!

But before one problem was solved, another arose. Three magic arrows had already been aimed at the blue-haired witch. As she flew into the air, the magic arrows were also fired.

She had nowhere to hide now. She flapped her wings to dodge, and just as she dodged to the side, the demonic arrow suddenly changed direction!

Whoosh whoosh!

The three magic arrows struck the blue-haired witch precisely, but at the moment of impact, the blue-haired witch had already transformed into a ball of blue feathers, using her Stand-type ability to negate the fatal blow.

"I haven't used the tracking feature at all; you must have thought it was just a simple bow, right?"

Jokina smiled triumphantly and looked at the blue-haired witch who appeared from the side.

Cassius, standing beside her, held up the scriptures, enduring the excruciating pain in his body as he carefully chanted each line.

"Holy God of Light, please grant me divine light to protect all things..."

The blue-haired witch in the air looked at the two of them, her expression darkening.

"You guys really have a lot of surprises in store..."

"It's all thanks to you. This is our... toughest battle yet, but we will win."

"hehe."

Jokina drew her bow and aimed again at the chuckling blue-haired witch. The blue-haired witch looked down at the Slime Killer and Spinka, as well as the reassembled Lava Giant, who had all regrouped and were ready to attack.

She wasn't confident she could handle another attack like the one before, especially with the tracking arrows.

Her eyes flashed, her cognitive impairment ability activated, and she disappeared from everyone's attention once again.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, swoosh...

But the moment her ability was activated, the lava slimes scattered all over the lava surface simultaneously contracted and then ricocheted off into the empty space in mid-air.

But just as it reached mid-air, it was blown away by the wind within a certain area.

"Magic perception, huh? Very clever, but—"

"Holy Light Barrier!"

Before the blue-haired witch could finish speaking, a barrier of holy light from Cassius suddenly appeared, enveloping the spot where the slime had attacked.

"Captain! Attack my barrier!"

boom!

As Cassius's voice faded, the Slime Slayer's figure shot out and then slashed fiercely at Cassius's barrier.

"Break - Slime Slash!"

Boom!

The greatsword pierced through the barrier without hindrance and then struck the blue-haired witch inside. Her figure appeared, with a giant eagle cushioning her in front of her, struck by the sword.

The blue figure flew backward and crashed into the top of the cave, causing countless rocks to shatter and fall into the lava, filling the air with smoke and dust.

"This time, it should have hit the target, right?"

The blue-haired witch has already used her substitution magic, and she has never used it consecutively before. This means that she has definitely taken a full hit this time.

"Hahahaha...! That's really good, really good!!! You guys actually managed to do this!"

A burst of maniacal laughter erupted from the smoke and dust.
