An Owl's Rise

Chapter 226 226 Battle In The Storm (3)



At Evelyn declaration to use the potions she had prepared, both Rehni and Bylur wavered.

She had also said that she would support them, and they knew what this meant.

Evelyn had come up with this strategy to give them the best chance to attack, but it left her pretty vulnerable. Which is why they both hesitated to do.

"Hurry up and drink the potions. Our enemies are setting up for their next attack and using their own consumable items. If we falter here, we are going to lose." Evelyn commanded sternly.

With no other choice but to follow Evelyn\'s orders, Rehni and Bylur pulled out the potions Evelyn had prepared for each of them and quickly drank them.

In only a matter of moments the magical effects of each potion began to activate.

Bylur\'s white feathers seemed to gain a crystal sheen to them and Rehni\'s body began vibrating and moving faster than what seemed normal.

\'Looks like they worked well. It was worth using all those rare ingredients as well as some of the magical spring water.\' Evelyn thought.

What she had given Bylur and Rehni were two high-grade potions that she had spent a lot of credits to purchase the materials for.

Normally these were items that only tyrant rank beasts could work with, but she had been able to successfully create both potions thanks to her heavenly flame and the superior equipment Melisandre had provided her.

The brew that Bylur had consumed was called a diamond shell potion and was an advanced form of a fortification potion.

Instead of just strengthening the outer body as a fortification potion did, this one made the entire body far studier and even made his feathers resistant to all types of attacks.

For Rehni, what Evelyn had given her was called an acceleration potion which was the advanced version of an agility potion.

It not only made the drinker faster but sped up their thought process and slowed the perception of time.

Both were very powerful, and the ingredients cost Evelyn around three million credits each to make.

This had taken a good chunk out of her savings, but she wanted to make sure to have some powerful trump cards for this match.

\'And for the finishing touch.\'

Cancelling the wind barrier she had surrounded them in, Evelyn instead wrapped Rehni and Bylur up in personal wind shields that would keep the rain off them and increase their movement speeds, while also adding another layer of defense.

However, this left Evelyn without any shield from the rain, and instead she was allowing her armor that was geared towards helping her out in such conditions keep herself dry.

It was not perfect, but it was taking most of her focus to keep the enchantments she was giving to Bylur and Rehni going.

"Now go. We need to strike fast and hard to catch them off guard."

With their preparations complete Bylur and Rehni angled their bodies upwards and flew up into the sky where their opponents had similarly been getting ready.

Staying back but flying up as well, Evelyn kept within the range she needed to be to retain the wind enchantments she had given to her teammates.

Naturally their sudden charge surprised the opposing team, as so far Evelyn\'s team had been stuck on the defensive.

Now through, Bylur and Rehni were coming right for them, and they moved to intercept.

Yet they were a slight bit late to react, as like a bullet Rehni shot up towards their weakest member and unleashed a powerful sound wave.

The mid-tier awakened rank owl that had a water affinity set up a shield in front of it which absorbed a good amount of the blast, but it was still knocked off course and launched away.

Immediately after this happened the other members of the opposing team moved to attack Rehni but found that her movements were too quick to easily lock down, and by the time they even had her in their sights, Bylur had arrived.

Clad in a large, blunted spear of ice, he impacted into the enemy owl with a wind affinity like a missile.

It was certainly a devastating blow, but not enough to take out a high tier awakened rank beast.

Using a few gusts of wind, the owl that Bylur had hit launched himself away and put some distance between them.

At the same time Rehni was facing down the high tier awakened rank owl with a water affinity and was moving around them and barraging them with sound attacks.

In response it had created a shell of water which was absorbing the blows and lessening the impact of the sound attacks.

Unfortunately, it seemed even with as fast as she was now Rehni was unable to deliver a conclusive attack.

Her opponent was two tiers higher than her and simply had stronger magic even if they could not keep up with her.

Bylur on the other hand was doing fairly well against his opponent and firing off powerful ice attacks. That while not doing much damage to his opponent, were steadily wearing them down.

Except this balance as soon to be broken as the third member of the opposing team moved to join back into the battle after being blown away by Rehni.

\'Looks like I will need to get involved.\'

Evelyn with a few swift flaps of her wings brought herself in between the mid-tier awakened rank owl that had a water affinity.

Even though she had most of her focus tied up in keeping Bylur and Rehni enchanted, she needed to keep their battles from being interrupted.

\'I suppose three one on one fights are best for us in this situation. Their teamwork and abilities are simply better than ours in these conditions.\' Evelyn thought as she stared down her enemy.

Currently she could not really use her magic freely without dropping the spells she had used on Bylur and Rehni, and instead was going to fight with her physical abilities.
