Infinite Mana In The Oasis

Bear's Creed armor!

Swish. Zoom. Bang.

Just when Eren was finished manifesting his Hex gear set, he found out that his body had been cutting through the air. He could see his previous position was being occupied by the green-skin Slaad.

This Slaad still maintained his attacking stance when Eren was flying through the air. His fist was still coated in orange flames. At this point, Eren looked at his punched fist and then at his gut.

Crash. Drag. Boom.

Eren crashed-landed on the ground, some 20 meters away from his previous position. He had flown in the opposite direction to Mia who seemed just as surprised after witnessing the Slaad's vicious attack on Eren all of a sudden.

"Ugh!"

Eren spat blood when he processed the pain he was feeling in his guts. He banged both his closed fists on the ground to lessen the amount of pain he was feeling. The ground that was hit by his fist cracked now that he was in Hex armor, generating streaks of lightning and haze.

Blits Heal

Eren quickly cast his healing spell while getting up from his position. The dust was still settling around him due to his crash landing. Thus, his vision was blurred. So he had to depend on his mana sense.

The green-skin Slaad had managed to punch him when he was still in the process of manifesting his Hex armor. As a result, the damage he had sustained due to the sudden attack was on another level.

​ Eren was sure that if he hadn't strengthened his mana defense layer around his abdomen, the green-skinned Slaad would have managed to punch through his guts.

'Chaos! One deadly element indeed.'

The Slaadi were called creatures of chaos because most of them possessed a unique elemental affinity. The element of chaos was supposed to be the basic building block for all the elements. As such, those who were born with this elemental affinity would be able to wield almost any element with equal efficiency.

The elemental spells related to chaos were also something that would manifest differently depending upon the mood and situation of the user. The chaos element would allow these users to switch between multiple elements while keeping the spell format the same, producing different results every time.

It was said that the chaos element was not really an element but a lack of one. It could mold into any element provided the wielder was capable of molding it.

The element was also the reason behind the monsters gaining too many elemental resistances. The chaos element had the potential to stay immune to the effects of other elements if used the right way.

Since most Slaadi were born with the elemental affinity for Chaos, they were all unpredictable and difficult to target. Even the Slaadi themselves weren't in complete control of their element. It would manifest on its own depending upon the emotions they felt at the time, enhancing or decreasing the power of inherent spells they were born with.

The green-skin Slaad that had attacked Eren managed to cast a wind-element movement spell. He then strengthened his fist using earth-element mana, giving it a solid rigidity.

Lastly, the green-skin Slaad coated his fist in the fire-elemental mana on top. Due to the chaos element, the fire element mana was converted into kinetic energy without any spell mechanism in place.

The punch launched on Eren by this chaos-element wielder monster was therefore more deadly than it looked. And it looked like the monster hadn't given much thought about how to go about attacking Eren.

The green-skin monster just wished he could punch Eren with every fiber of his body. His emotions were added to the monster's elemental attainment of chaos and the combination took care of the rest for him.

"Draaaw!"

Eren looked shocked at the way the green-skinned Slaad attacked him. He looked at his blue-skin buddy standing behind him and laughed, showing his small saw-like teeth and his long tongue.

The green-skin Slaad hammered his chest with his fists like a gorilla before charging at him. As Eren and Mia watched the green-skin monster engage his bud next, they both looked at each other from a distance.

'The fuck. He just punched me in the guts so hard, that I puked blood. And now he is leaving me high and dry here.'

Eren cursed the monster for underestimating him. However, he didn't dare to break their fight. The more they fought with each other the better.

Mia felt odd about Eren's choice of words. She ignored it and responded over voice communication.

'I… I just don't know what to feel fighting these monsters. This is not my first time fighting with them, Eren. That's why I brought you here.

I didn't think much about the elemental resistance they are known to have because of this damn chaos element. They can gain resistance to any element if they wished to, making the norms set for them invalid for any ranker with…."

Eren smiled bitterly before finishing Mia's sentence.

'For any ranker with bad luck.'

Eren said and took a long breath before spitting some coagulated blood. The healing spell had finally started to show its effects, making it easy for Eren to stand up on his two feet. He didn't feel like curling into a ball anymore. That was a huge win for him at this point.

"Daryaaw!"

The blue-skin Slaad croaked like a frog in his mana-imbued voice before slapping his green-skin kin who wanted nothing more than to end him.

The slap appeared to have worked. The green-skinned Slaad stopped trying to punch the blue-skinned Slaad. He then listened to something the blue-skin Slaad was saying before nodding at him.

"Daryaaw!"

The blue-skin monster started approaching Mia while the green-skin monster started zeroing in on Eren after releasing their battle cries. Eren pursed his lips before taking out two weapons from either hand.

The fire-element axes.

As Eren cast his spells, he hurled his two weapons at the approaching monster.

Blitz Steps

Blitz Whip

Alfem

Taranbiest

Blitz Sheild

Blitz Shard

Eren approached the monster with the movement spell. He then controlled the weapons using his lightning element lasso before directing them to approach the monster from behind him.

There was a swarm of firebirds manifesting behind Eren. Beside him were two lightning clusters that were turning into lightning hounds.

Lastly, Blitz Shard was being cast on Eren's weapons and the lightning cloak that he used as a defensive spell.

Eren had cast all these spells instantly, thanks to his will embedded into them. He has used his Hex armor to integrate his will into these spells, turning his existing spells into Hex spells for instant activation.

Bzzt. Daraayav. Boom.

***

What Eren had found out while practicing the Hex way of casting spells was the fact that he was not like normal Hexers. He could cast normal and Hex spells without any conflict.

There was no higher consciousness opposing him just because he had started integrating his will into the spells. And there was no trouble for him using his Hex gear as a medium to cast Hex spells.

Casting Hex spells came naturally to Eren. as if he was meant to cast the spells this way. Plus, there was no known spell deviancy he had observed so far in his training sessions.

It meant that Eren could remain a normal ranker despite using Hex spells. For some reason, he got the best of both worlds. The only explanation he could come up with was his unique infinite mana core, which had zero-conflict with anything thrown at it.

Therefore, Eren's spell casting had become almost instantaneous if and when he used his Hex gear to use Hex spells. But since he was still practicing the Hex way of casting spells and had not become skilled in it, he hadn't really managed to increase the output of his spell. All he could do was cast the spells at a moment's notice.

So that's what he did when he saw the green-skin monster approaching him. He had sent his mana circuits into overdrive without any hesitation to cast so many spells all at once. This was an emergency. Plus, things had gotten personal.

Eren felt like dominating the green-skin monster with all that he could muster after receiving such a brutal punch from him. After all, this was one of the reasons he had come to complete the mission despite knowing the difficulty– to test his progress in Hex spells.

***

Bzzt. Daraayav. Boom.

The green-skin monster would often have a hazy presence of mind whenever he used his chaos element. So when his mind returned to normalcy, the first thing he heard was his own cry.

Eren's two axes had been lodged into the monster's upper and lower back, injecting the former's fire-element mana into his system. Lightning streaks were also seen around the wound- the effects of Blitz Shards on the weapons' blades.

When the green-skin monster turned around to look at his opponent, his vision was filled with a moving cluster of lightning. One of the Taranbiest had jumped right in the green-skin monster's face while the other had bit his left leg.

Before the monster could shout in pain again, the firebirds coated in Blitz Shards attacked. Eren turned back and watched his remaining spells consume the monster entirely.

Breathing heavily, Eren couldn't help smiling as he saw the cloud of flames spreading all around the green-skin monster.

'Success for me is to go out there and dominate.'
