26 ATTACK

Dammit! Jacks spat out a mouthful of blood as a fist-sized rock struck him in his chest. Twelve, there were twelve hooded figures who ambushed him and Rayna. All of them had the strength of someone in the platinum ranks at the Adventurer’s Guild.

He had blocked them all from pursuing Rayna with a giant wall of fire surrounding them. It lasted long enough for the woman to get away. Since she was a wind user and had increased her level so much over the last few days, there wasn’t much of a chance of her being chased down. The group that attacked seemed to know this as well and chose not to chase once the wall of fire calmed down.

Unfortunately for Jacks, the skill had taken a large portion of his mana to cast, and the mana potion he drank immediately after wasn’t able to keep up with his current expenditure.

The question he kept asking himself was “why?” At first, he thought the group that attacked was sent by House Torith over his feud with Derek, but that changed when one of his strikes knocked the hood from the ambusher’s head.

He was a half-elf. Jacks got a good look at another, and he was also a half-elf. Why would a group of platinum-ranked half-elves be ambushing him and Rayna? He couldn’t allow his mind to linger on this question as more and more attacks landed.

Three half-elves already lay on the ground, unmoving, and two more clutched at their wounds and let out agonizing cries. They were three close-ranged attackers who didn’t expect Jacks to explode with his fire mana when he did. He used Blazing Fury—the same skill he used to attack Derek.

Of course, he didn’t dump all his mana into his sword attack this time. He used the skill in a balance between his sword and body. The surrounding flames kept close-range attackers hesitant, or it would have had he not timed the activation perfectly and injured a whole group of them.

The flames also reduced the incoming damage of other attacks. It was great against the two half-elves who apparently specialized in wood magic. Two other half-elves were seeing to their wounded, which left three attacking.

One was an earth user, who was causing the most damage to Jacks. The flames over his body kept the stones from becoming lethal, but that was it. The water mage kept launching attacks, but her water wasn’t as strong as Jacks’ flames, so when they met, her attacks turned into steam, causing an even more blistering atmosphere around the battlefield. One that Jacks preferred. He was almost immune to heat-based attacks.

Finally, the last half-elf was a bow user. There was another bow user, but he was caught up in Jacks’ initial blast and was having a hard time dealing with his charred arm. He had been the loudest. Serves him right.

Regrettably, the remaining bow user had not moved in closer at that time, leaving her fresh. Also, she seemed to deal with poisons and toxins as one arrow had made it through his flames and nicked him in the leg.
