It might have been a brutal way to enslave her, but I wasn’t feeling very much pity. She had tried to kill me several times, and then there were also the citizens she was oppressing. I had beaten her down just as I had done to Xin. Now, I would Enslave her and reveal to her I was still alive. I wondered what kind of face she’d make when she realized the truth.
Of all the expectations I had when I used Enslavement on her, I had never expected her to let out a blood-curdling scream. All of the fairies who had been hovering above and ignoring us suddenly swooped down on me like a swarm. The woman herself let out shrieking cries of pain. Enslaving Xin had been difficult, and I had barely succeeded but attempted to Enslave Astria was many times worse. It was like trying to mount a tiger.
She began to lash out wildly with spells, many not even aimed in my direction, and some even backlashing and hurting herself. It had only been a few moments, but I realized there was no way I could Enslave Astria in this state. The fairies descended and I was forced to retreat. With several waves of my blade, I caused the fairies to fall from the sky like their wings had been cut. At that moment while I was focused on the fairies, Astria lunged at me and cast a powerful spell.
It exploded in both of our faces, and I felt like my body was on fire as I was thrown back. However, even this much pain was acceptable, and I forced myself to my feet. I cast a few healing spells and I looked around to see a broken Astria kneeling on the ground. I hadn’t intended things to go this far. That she would use such a destructive spell with no regard for her safety had left me confused. The spell had been so strong that the other fairies had all scattered in the wake of the violent eruption.
Astria wasn’t done yet. Her clothing was in tatters, and her body was covered in scratches, but she had her hand up and she was finishing an incantation. The previous attack had been just to keep me confused as she finished the real spell.
“Cut it!” I threw out Alysia, allowing her blade to fly free from my hand.
It shot out like an arrow and struck the mana weave going into Astria’s spell, but after a brief moment of sparks flying, the sword flew back and struck the ground.
“I’m sorry, I just didn’t have the strength.” Alysia cried out.
The spell was completed, and a few moments later dark shapes started to appear in the sky. I looked up with a frown, trying to understand what Astria just cast. When I finally realized what spell she had used, my face went white.
“Meteor.”
She had managed to cast Meteor. It wasn’t quite like my own spell. Instead of a single giant meteor like I got when I cast it using my dungeon points, it was coming down in a dozen smaller meteors. It would still do the job. It would destroy the mana spring, the nearby village, and everything in between! Astria was destroying everything!
