Chapter 56: Except you, Caius Von Helsing
As he was yelling, Caius’ eyes were on Baler’s and then his lips turned up in a smirk that he knew would piss the grey haired boy off even more.
It wasn’t that Baler was a total moron.
Caius was sure Baler had the good sense to know that pacifying the Lizards would be far more viable than trying to out-kill Professor Gilligan’s supply. The only reason he suggested the stupid plan was to try not to acknowledge that Caius figured out the ’key’ to beating the exercise before he or anyone else did. It was all an ego thing that he hadn’t let go of since Breakfast and that incident where Caius fed Eloise food.
"You Ass!" Baler said with a groan and with his fists clenched in anger.
Caius was already looking away though.
"Eloise!" He called out.
"On it!" Eloise said in the most ready-for-action voice she had probably ever given as she formed seals that she infused with Mana to create a large spell circle.
At the same time, Caius gave Kaya a nod, which she returned as she put even more energy into her Nature Magic spell casting, creating a wide net of vines to slam down and pin the Lizards.
When the Lizards primed to explode, Eloise let her water magic spell rain down and douse their flames before Caius stepped forward and began reaching into the gaps of the net of vines, pressing down on their nodes until at least half of them flopped and were completely passive.
The other half managed to explode and destroy the vines, and began to scurry away. But just then, Aylin Khione took on a spell-casting pose with her fingers splayed out as she created a large spell circle that she slammed into the ground to freeze it over. Creating a smooth icy surface that the Lizards struggled to get traction on as they skidded all about due to the lack of friction.
But Aylin wasn’t done. With a specific move of her fingers, she created a barrier around the icy ground she had made, and the sliding Lizards slammed into them, hard enough to disorient them for a few seconds. Or so she thought.
