An Owl's Rise

If Evelyn had not already stacked the battle in her favor by fighting an opponent that used fire magic, she very easily could have made a fatal mistake.

Thankfully her heavenly flame made her immune to being burned by most other flames and even being immersed completely in fire as she was now, Evelyn was unharmed.

Still, she could not stay within the torrent of flames for too long or she would suffocate. A painful lesson she had learned when Melisandre was teaching her that there were still ways that other fire magic users could harm her.

\'That woman is still being affected by my gravity magic, so I doubt she had moved far, if at all. This is the perfect opportunity to try out that attack.\'

While staying within the massive flaming sphere enveloping her, Evelyn focused a great deal of her magical energy in her mouth.

When she had amassed all that she could handle she flew out of the inferno prison spell that she had been captured in.

The moment her head breached the flames, and she caught sight of her opponent she opened her mouth and released a compressed blast of heavenly flame from her beak.

This attack took the form of a beam of flames that focused all of her firepower into a weapon that could slice through anything with extreme heat.

Evelyn had practiced this attack a few times, but it was difficult to perform, and she rarely did it successfully as the flames usual spread out and did not stay compressed.

Nevertheless, this time she managed to succeed in using the attack she had dubbed as the heavenly laser.

Her attack flew fast, and her opponent was stunned still when she saw that Evelyn had survived being swallowed by enough fire to reduce far stronger beasts to cinders.

It would seem that Evelyn\'s attack would end this, except, her aim was off.

Instead of cleaving the woman clean in half, she only took her right arm off with her heavenly laser.

The attack then continued on through the forest and cut down several trees in its wake and catching them on fire despite the enchantments that made the trees in this domain nearly indestructible.

\'Looks like it still needs some more work. It is hard to control that much magical energy when it is that compressed.\' Evelyn thought as her magic petered out.

Her heavenly laser had only lasted for a second before all of the energy was expended. It was certainly a strong attack, but it had plenty of drawbacks. Especially in its difficulty to control and the massive expenditure of magical energy all at once.

Evelyn could tell she was pretty drained now, having only around thirty percent of her magical energy left.

\'She has got grit; I will give her that.\' Evelyn thought, watching her opponent pick up her spear that had previously been gripped by her now immolated arm.

However, Evelyn knew that this woman was already finished. After her final big trap had failed and the loss of her dominant arm, there was no way she could fight at her best.

Keeping her gravity magic on her opponent, Evelyn flew circles around her and continuously sent out wind blades that slowly chipped away at the woman until she was bleeding all over from hundreds of small cuts.

Eventually Evelyn\'s enemy lost the grip on her spear and Evelyn sliced off her remaining arm, before swiftly cutting her head off.

Having finished off her opponent, Evelyn turned her attention towards the other battles that were going on.

\'Everything is looking to be going well. Only four of the humans are still holding on. The rose monster is probably the biggest threat now.\' Evelyn thought, taking off to join the other battles.

Choosing her target, she tried her heavenly flame against the rose monster, but found that its magic disrupting pollen worked against it.

This was a bit of a problem, but Evelyn instead took out several jars of herbicide she had made in the past and began dropping them on the giant rose bush.

Even when the creature swatted the jars and shattered them, the contents were sprayed over its body, and it began shriveling up.

Naturally this was not enough to finish off the resilient monster and only weakened it, but its ability to disrupt magic was not a perfect defense.

The pollen worked by turning magic back into magical energy. This meant that the monster could not stop attacks that were already pure magical energy.

Evelyn created a dozen spheres of magical energy around herself and fired them off like cannon blasts into the monster.

Her attacks chipped away at the massive creature and the herbicides that she continuously dropped weakened it further.

Soon it was not a threat to anyone else and only Evelyn was battling it at all as it withered away under her assault.

\'And there goes another one. It is only a matter of time before they are all dead.\' Evelyn thought, watching Otis take out his opponent.

By the time Evelyn had finished off the rose bush monster and turned it into over a hundred tokens, the last human had been slaid by Savan who was a user of darkness magic.

Among Evelyn\'s allies a few of them were injured, with Aralee having taken a fairly nasty hit to her left wing that had left it broken in several places.

Still, not a single one of them had died and their enemies were all defeated. Overall, it could only be considered an absolute win for them.

Now all that was left was to heal their injuries and collect the great bounty they had won.

Not only were they rewarded with over a hundred tokens to be used in the domain, but there were also the times that the humans had on them.
