Chapter 557 Red Bull Rush

Tim's intelligence stat had allowed him to summon eight animated beasts at the same time, which had access to their unique spells as if they were their inherent spells. But he was yet to control them completely the way he wanted to.

Frankly, Tim couldn't be blamed for his beasts not being in complete control of himself. The class he had chosen for himself after considering a lot about his potential ensured that he wouldn't have any guidance he would have easy access to.

It was only through his sheer perseverance and battle with talented fire-element rankers that he had reached this point. He had learned a lot from his enemies. So he carried on with that trend until he could achieve visible success as a summoner.

"Don't come after me, you idiot. Attack him. Attack that imposter."

Tim shouted while releasing a strong mana signature. That action finally rebooted the animated beast that was sent to attack Eren. It was joined by another serpent of its kind.

But Eren had achieved what he wanted to achieve by this point. He got his solo time with Langdon by keeping all of Tim's animated beasts and him away from the water-element ranker.

Langdon had created defensive water shields and sent shards of ice in Eren's way. But he managed to dodge them all without breaking a sweat. Some of the sword slashes that were sent his way were indeed blocked by his defensive spell. And he managed to dodge some others using his movement spells.

He also nulled a few slashes by colliding them with his own slashes that he had sent in the air using his water-element sword. One could tell Langdon had only recently adopted weapon-style fighting. He couldn't employ his weapon the way it was capable.

But some of the sword slashes that the butcher had sent towards Langdon managed to hit their mark.

"Aaaaaaaargh!"

Langon cried in pain and agony when one of Eren's flying lightning-element slashes managed to inflict a deep cut on his left toe. Just when he thought the tow was saved from being completely cut off, a fire-element slash landed on the same spot, wreaking havoc on the already injured leg.

'A chance!'

The butcher's eyes shone with wicked light as he approached Langdon and got him in his striking zone. He released his AoE after reaching a few meters away from Langdon. That's because he knew the two serpents were coming to attack him.

Red Blitz Storm. ꜰʀᴇᴇwᴇʙɴovᴇʟ.coᴍ

The ground on which the butcher stood cracked when he released his AoE spell powered by his destruction aspect of lightning. The two snakes as well as Langdon were within the range of the spell.

Hissss!

"Aaaaargh!"

Langdon was electrocuted once again despite him putting the barrier of water-element mana against Eren's attack. Since his water-element spells didn't work well against Eren's lightning element attacks, he got most of the spell's burnt despite bracing himself for it.

The red lightning did more damage to the enemies than Eren had anticipated. The destruction aspect of the lightning was wild and untamed. Additionally, it caused damage to the surrounding area as well as to the rankers nearby.

Eren regretted that he still couldn't handle red lightning the way he wanted to. This was his newly gained power. And he hadn't had a chance to use it after gaining it until today. So he couldn't really make the attack focus more on the rankers and less on the surroundings with his spell output.

Meanwhile, the red lightning bull was more efficient with his red lightning usage than his master. He couldn't fatally damage the two flame servants that were keeping him busy. But the opposite was also true. He barely felt any damage from the draconic serpents' fire breaths and fireballs. The non-polarized nature of the two elements along with the fact that all three of them had mana bodies made their battle stretch out.

But Ertaur wanted to shine some more in his first battle since gaining a new master. It bellowed and flames his nostrils before stomping on the ground with his solid hooves. Before he disappeared, the ground beneath his feet cracked.

Red Bull Rush!

A linear path was created on the ground. A path that was made by splitting the ground on either side. The next thing Tim knew, one of his flame serpents had been thrown some 10 meters high in the air like it had been given wings.

The animated beast's body was coated in a dense cloud of red lightning as it flew across the landscape. The red lightning penetrated deep through the serpent's mana body and hurt its consciousness. The mana body started dispersing on its own before it could land on the ground.

Ertaur had used one of his inherent spells to take care of a flame serpent. He had used a considerable amount of mana to pull it off. But he hoped his master wouldn't be angry.

Ertaur's timing to use Red Bull Rush was spot on.

While Tim was busy calculating risk assessment coming from Ertaur, Eren focused on finishing Langdon off for good after inflicting a serious injury on him. He supplied his contract bull with even more mana while approaching his target once again.

"Stay the fuck away, you impos…"

Swish!

Eren chopped off the guy's wrist with which he held the sword. His Blitz Bolt had gained extra penetrative power after using it with his red lightning. The next to get cut off was the other wrist which Langdon had subconsciously raised in defense.

Eren threw his weapons in the air and caught Langdon by his throat before executing Blitz Bolt once again with both his hands. The water-element ranker's body was overburdened with foreign mana as the red lightning-caused havoc inside it.

Langdon barely hung onto his consciousness when he was subjected to such an intense case of electrocution. He had lost control over his limbs because of the lightning's stun effect. He wouldn't recover from his condition until he expelled Eren's mana from his system. But the butcher's choke-inducing grip over his throat was acting as a source of red lightning, keeping Langdon stunned and unable to take any action for the time being.

Eren could kill the guy if he wanted to. But now was not the time. He sensed something coming from 5 O'clock to get him and threw Langdon in that direction.

Just when Tim prevented Ertaur from attacking him, he saw Langdon was picked up from the ground by Eren. he knew that his survival was also dependent on Langdon staying alive. In response, he dispatched one of his animated creatures that were meant to defend him. The target was Eren while he was busy handling Langdon.

Unfortunately for him, Eren's mid-battle presence of mind was exceptional.
