Both Elysia and Shaman saw it pop up but instead of greed, they felt fear.

'She must be strong but I don't think we can win, how can we go against someone 2 tiers above ours.' Both Shaman and Elysia were thinking the same thing.

"Elysia, do not engage close range and keep your distance, I will take close range and if things get bad, escape with Wolfy and don't worry about me I have a way to get out of here." Shaman had whispered to Elysia but she lied to her. She had no way to get out but she did not want to let Elysia get hurt.

Elysia had nodded and agreed but she was not sure if she could leave Shaman when push came to shove, She considered using all her mana at once but that could kill her.

They both stood ready and the women spoke.

"You 2 girls are coming with me dead or alive, you have caused too many problems and need to be dealt with." The woman spoke in a dominating voice causing both Elysia and Shaman to tremble slightly.

Wolfy understood the women's strength and had stayed by Elysia's side knowing that she was the weakest when it came to close combat.

"Now either be good girls and surrender or we are going to have to get bloody." The women spoke again but Shaman and Elysia did not realize that she needed them alive but she would still paralyze them for life if she had to as they were needed to be used for the sacrifice.

Shaman was trying to rack her brains on what to do as she had no idea how to approach this as she would clear out class them in everything stats wise.

Then an Idea struck as she completely forgot about one thing, She can learn skills and harness the elements instantly due to the system.

'How could I forget, if I could harness the element of fire I could use my wind to amplify the fire. If I could isolate the oxygen and push it to the fire I could create an explosive fire sword or something.' Shaman was thinking about how to combine the elements as it could provide that extra power needed.

"Elysia put up a firewall in front of me and handed me a fire arrow." Shaman had used inspect on Elysia and could see all her stats and skills and knew she still had 2 other fire skills.

Elysia did what she asked and conjured a fire arrow and passed it to her.

'What is she going to do? I know she has crazy ideas but what could she possibly be able to do?' Elysia was confused but knew that maybe something could work.

The Women could see that they were not moving so she stood there as any attempts would be futile and so she decided to play around a little.

Shaman then began doing the same thing when she first got the wind element. She pulled in all the red particles and due to Elysia's arrow it was easier to do so. Once she had pulled it together the fire arrow dissolved and turned into a fireball in her hand, the slight burns on her hand had healed and now she was able to conjure up flames.

[New element learnt: Fire]

[currently at the max amount of elements learnt till next tier]

[due to learning fire through Elysia's mana 30 attribute points have been awarded]

Shaman had put them all into her INT stat.

INT 55 -> 85

[MP 850/850]

Elysia had also seen messages pop in front of Shaman and she could only think of one thing.

'Did she just learn how to use fire.' Elysia was in awe but then the firewall had dispersed. Shaman quickly got rid of the flame.

The woman had a grin as she was wondering what they were doing as she could only sense that they were behind it.

Shaman then drew her sword and was ready to fight, Elysia had also drawn her bow.

"It looks like the hard way." The woman smiled sadistically at the 2 as she could not wait to see the terror in their eyes.

Shaman had leaped forward to attack and surprised the women as she moved a lot faster than a normal tier 2. Shaman's Katana clashed with the women's sword.

"I should introduce myself, I am Raven." as saying this she had launched Shaman back but in return, a fire arrow was shot. The raven had blocked it with her hand causing a small burn on her hand.

"tch, that hurt." Raven spoke under her breath as she was annoyed that she had got hurt by a mere tier 2. Elysia's arrow was able to damage her as she was using 20 MP per shot but was still ineffective as she could not rain down arrows.

Shaman had activated the shadow cloak and it levelled up to level 2 causing it to be more effective.

Shaman had got behind her and used a slash with her wind but Raven's reflexes were far superior but Shaman was strong enough to cause a slight cut on her arm due to the wind combined with the Slash.

"BITCH! you dare hurt me you filthy animal." Raven was now getting angrier as the 2 Foxes had actually done some damage, although small it was enough to annoy her.

'looks like I am going to have to try my fire sword idea.' Shaman could see that Raven was going to seriously kill them at this rate so she stood back and started to prepare.

Elysia had also shot a few more arrows as she could see whatever Shaman had planned was going to be used.

Shaman then began to concentrate on the fire and coated her sword in fire creating a blazing sword, She had also created a new skill.

[Blazing sword lvl 1]

[-5 MP every 3 seconds]

[Coats a sword in intense flames]

Raven who watched this was shocked that using 2 elements took a long time to master and so only a few people can have multiple elements and those people were all tier 6 and above.

Raven's confusion paired along with Elysia's assault helped Shaman prepare as she did not stop there, due to her knowledge from her previous world she had a more fundamental standing on how the elements worked.

She concentrated her wind to only pull in the oxygen, seeing that she was able to successfully do this she injected it into the flaming sword causing it to flare up even more, raising the temperature. Shamans hair even started to turn orange as the intensity of the element had an effect on her appearance. A new skill was created in the process

[Blade of Flamescion lvl 1]

[Tier 5 spell]

[Combining the elements wind with burning blade creates a sword with explosives power]

[-750 MP (reduced due to users tier)]

When the skill activated the flames had turned a bright blue emanating more heat causing the surroundings to burn and melt.

Raven saw the blade but due to the intensity of the fire, she could not get close to Shaman so she decided to aim for Elysia instead and dashed toward her.

"Oh no, you don't." Shaman had activated sword dash slashing down at Raven before she could get close to Elysia.

Raven had tried to block but the blade had melted upon touch and the massive fire blade had come crashing down on her.

As soon as the blade made contact Raven's entire body combusts into flames as she was now sliced in half by Shaman. Due to how hot the Flames were in just a few seconds any traces of Raven were gone as she had turned into a pile of ash.

Due to excessive concentration and mana usage Shaman had instantly passed out on the floor as her body had not adjusted and the skill was too high in demand for her to use and had even reduced its effectiveness due to her creating such a powerful spell but it was enough to deal with Raven.

Elysia saw this and quickly rushed over and picked Shaman and her sword up. Seeing that the alleyway was charred and things were melting she was glad that she had stood away. Wolfy had jumped on Elysia's head and was keeping a lookout.

'We need to get home right now.' Elysia rushed out of the alleyway and dashed back home.

***

A huge mana surge did not go unnoticed as guards arrived at the scene.

All they saw was a wide alley that had black charred walls, some of the walls and floor had melted and were still steaming from the immense heat. There was a pile of ash in the middle.

'What the hell happened here?' The guards were baffled as all the buildings had basic reinforcement formations to protect against magic but for it to damage buildings meant it was a tier 5 attack.

After examining it they could not find any traces and all they could do was clean up the scene.
