Chapter 1694: Kajithe’s Cat Spirit Magic
—–
“Don’t get any closer to me, you damned beasts, nygyaaaahhh!” Kajithe roared angrily, continuously summoning his strange Cat Spirits, forming a massive swarm.
The swarm surged over the Ice Trolls, knocking down several and covering them with tiny scratches. Kajithe could summon a lot! There were already over forty of them.
Although regular cat-sized, these spirits were potent, and upon death, they erupted into elemental explosions.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Explosions of ice, wind, flame, and light engulfed the Ice Trolls’ bodies, weakening them and even killing a few.
“Wow, Kajithe, you’re not bad at all! What magic is that?!” I asked in surprise.
“This is cat magic, nya!” he said angrily. “What else could it be?! That’s the magic all Cait Siths can conjure!”
He’s impressive! I was genuinely surprised by his performance, and he even reminded me of Acorn, who was also small, fluffy, and cute but could unleash destructive attacks and a hellish onslaught on foes when he wanted to.
“{Infernal Sextuple Slash}!”
SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!
A rain of blazing slashes struck a group of Ice Trolls approaching us. Their waves of frost and ice were cut apart, as snow and ice shards exploded everywhere. The Ice Trolls groaned angrily and savagely, black auras enveloping their bodies as they tried to withstand Mark’s flames, but their efforts were futile.
I quickly used wood to lift me and Kajithe out of danger, leaving that area to Mark. He seemed confident and was undeniably strong, so I trusted he would be fine.
I looked into the distance, quite worried about the others… but their ambush had succeeded. Katherine, Gabriel, and Elisa had already defeated several Ice Trolls on their own, and Gabriel was now raining blades of light over a wide area.
At the same time, Katherine deployed a Spiritual Domain around her, summoning nature and shaping it into large arms and hands of entangled wood and stone, punching Ice Trolls away and crushing them.
Meanwhile, Elisa used her draconic transformation and her gauntlets, unleashing explosive, thunderous punches, tail swipes, and dragon breath attacks from time to time, taking down several Ice Trolls as she advanced.
It seemed Ice Trolls were much weaker than us individually, but also not too weak either, especially in large groups. Nobody here might be able to take down a whole camp on their own without the support of the rest.
Although many died, a lot of them also resisted blows and continued fiercely fighting, their Auras growing stronger over time. It seemed that if they had time to prepare, they could fully power up, which is very dangerous!
I also checked on my daughter, of course. Elena was quite strong, as I expected, fighting fiercely against the Ice Trolls. Her long, upgraded katana deadly cut through her foes, her skin turning blue as she channeled her transformation spells, resembling her in-game avatar as a blue oni.
Phantasmal flames and shadows spread as she fought, helping her hide in plain sight and strike against her foes fiercely. Blades of shadow also impaled their bodies from behind, and she jumped from foe to foe, leaving trails of blood as she did…
Damn, my daughter is a total menace!
Monica and Anna were doing really well too. Monica was using her unique abilities, but this time in a unique and even more surprising way. She was possessing Ice Trolls in her complete ghostly form, which she had now mastered. She possessed Ice Trolls, made them fight each other, and then transferred to another and another, making these barbaric beings end up killing each other over misunderstandings. She also cursed those farther away, weakening them for Anna’s team to rush through.
Anna’s team… Well, I mean her familiars! Now all newly evolved, they were bigger and stronger than before. Her golem crushed foes and tanked blows, acting as the primary tank. Then the birds, her crow and her phoenix, spread shadow feather projectiles and fireballs everywhere, while her storm wolf helped these attacks become stronger and also helped Anna move around much better.
There was also her sea serpent and her holy scarab, which fought mostly with magic—water magic and light magic respectively—and were still learning how to fight properly, mostly staying close to Anna as her bodyguards while she fired elemental beams of magic.
“Now, let’s do it! {Terrain Expansion}!”
I swiftly swung Irene, my Spiritual Soul Weapon, downward, as both Shovel and Hoe struck the ground, causing a tremor and spreading cracks through the snow.
The snow burst away, as greenery spread rapidly. Saplings, grass, flowers, and large trees sprouted from the ground in seconds, and Spirits emerged from the flowers and trees, flying everywhere.
At the same time, by merely being close to or inside this Terrain, a wave of relief washed over everyone, as their “Stats” suddenly increased, and they also started recovering health, mana, and even spiritual energy quickly.
This was the power of Terrain, and well, of Domains too! The more Tiles I spread my Terrain, the more area we had to work with, and the stronger my Skills related to it became.
A unique game-like mechanic that doesn’t seem like anybody except me has, even though there’s no system here or stats, the power of buffs still applies to our bodies.
Our strength, the power of our magic, our reaction speed and agility, and even our dexterity receive a great bonus, increasing exponentially.
“G R Y K A A A H H H !”
A roar echoed behind me, and I saw a group of much taller, more muscular Ice Trolls. These were not like the others, being thrice as bulky, built as giants of pure muscle. Their skin was a darker blue, with white horns growing from their shoulders and arms and longer white hair.
Indeed, these weren’t normal Ice Trolls! More intriguing, they exuded stronger Auras of Darkness, a combination of Nether, Miasma, and perhaps a trace of Demonic Energy—the unholy trinity of destructive energies that mutate or kill anything they touch.
