In the narrow alley, the four Magic Beast heads of Ochimaru Wyvern charged Gleia at top speed, Magic Vines trailing behind them. The two Magic Rat heads spewed poisonous gas, while the other two lizard heads breathed fire. Poison and flame intertwined as they swept toward Gleia.
Faced with the oncoming wave of fire, the Dragon Girl did not even dodge. Two magical tails behind her wove a Wind School Magic Pattern, while another tail wove an Ice School Magic Pattern.
With a thunderous boom, the compressed air before the Dragon Girl suddenly exploded. The blast wave hurled the flames and poisonous gas back at her opponent, while an ice wall rose before her, blocking every last wisp of poison that slipped through.
"Ha~" Ochimaru was blasted more than ten meters away. The four beast heads he had sent out had also been scorched black in the clash, leaving only charred remains that fell with the vines dozens of meters away.
"How could this be..." Ochimaru had first studied at Wyvern Nest, then spent some time as classmates with Gleia's two brothers. He had believed himself to know Gleia's magical abilities like the back of his hand.
Yet only now did he realize that the Dragon Girl's mastery of magic had far surpassed his understanding. Lying on the ground, he watched her use four mana tails to cast two or three utterly different kinds of magic at once, yet had no idea how she did it.
The ice layer before the Dragon Girl shattered completely. Looking at the Wyvern Archmage in the distance, a smile curled across her lips. "I remember my brother advising you that letting plants parasitize your body was a road to death. Even if you were an Archmage, it would still be a road to death.
