Chapter 78: Teamwork makes dreamwork
The second beast decided to join in the fun. It drew its sword and ran towards me.
I dodged the first blow and slashed it with my fan.
The fan sliced it\'s skin as I dragged it across its side.
Snarrlll~
The beast titan snarled angrily as it felt pain.
I looked down at my fan and saw a blackish liquid had stained it.
"Ughhh". I said in disgust.
The second beast titan was now infuriated and it charged at me.
"Vortex". I said and shot a vortex at it.
This time, I timed it so that it could dodge the vortex no matter where it moved to.
The vortex lifted the beast titan and spun it around violently before slamming it against the garden wall.
The wall cracked from the impact and the titan slumped to the ground, barely conscious.
The first titan charged at me with anger and I barely had time to throw up an air wall.
It hit the air wall and crashed through it, slamming into me.
I was thrown back from the force and slammed into the garden gate.
As I struggled to get to my feet, I heard footsteps approaching the gate from outside.
Then a voice called my name.
"Levi?"
I looked back to see Aaron peering down at me with a concerned look on his face.
He was panting heavily, as if he just finished running.
"Hi". I said and coughed violently.
Aaron looked up at the beast titan that had gone to its colleague and was trying to help it up.
"I guess the portal is here then". He said.
I nodded.
"How did you get in?" He asked, fiddling with the locks and frowning. It\'s locked.
I nodded. "Yeah but it was open when I got here".
His widened. "So you\'re saying they locked you in there with them?"
"Yeah". I said.
"That\'s not good at all". Aaron said and pulled the padlock harder.
"Move away from the gate". He said and I hastily stepped away from the gate.
Aaron moved back a few paces. Fireball. He said and shot a fireball at the padlock.
It had no effect whatsoever on the lock.
Aaron shot two more at the lock but it wouldn\'t budge.
"It\'s no use, the stupid lock won\'t melt". He said bitterly.
"It\'s fine. We\'ll figure out another way". I replied. "Where\'s Elena? And how did you know to come find me?"
"When we got back to the textile section, we didn\'t see you. We know that the distance between the garden and the textile section is shorter than the distances to the places we went to so we expected to meet you when we got back".
He continued. "So when we didn\'t see you, we immediately knew something was up. We assumed you had found the portal already but you had also gotten in danger".
"So we decided to be practical about things.
I told Emily to go get one of the masters and narrate everything then drag him here".
"While I came here to see if I could help in any way possible".
I nodded. "Thank you".
"Wait till you\'re out before you thank me". Aaron muttered and pointed behind him. "They\'re ready for round two."
I turned around quickly and faced the two beast titans advancing on me.
I couldn\'t leave the gate area because right now, the fight was two versus one and a half.
This was because Aaron couldn\'t offer much help from behind the gate but he could still do a little.
If I stepped away from the gate, it would then be a two versus one which reduced my chances of winning or surving.
"You take the bleeding one, I\'ll take the other one". I said to Aaron and he nodded.
The two beast titans began to gallop towards me.
"One directional wind slam". I said and sent a blast of air at the first titan.
I was still wary of using the two directional wind slam because I didn\'t think I had mastered it.
Imagine if I didn\'t control it properly and it blew up in my face.
I would be making my opponents job easier.
Therefore I chose to fight with the one directional windslam for now.
Two directional windslam was reserved for emergency situations.
The titan blocked the windslam with its sword and kept running at me.
"Vortex". I said and a vortex grew my fan and travelled towards the titan.
However it did not lift it off the ground like the other titan.
It simply shifted it back a few feet.
The titan roared angrily and rushed at me again.
Meanwhile, Aaron had figured out a way to keep the second titan occupied and although he wasn\'t going to kill it that way, it would at least keep it distracted enough to not disturb me.
He passed his arm through one of the gaps on the gate.
"Fire whip". He said and a thin cord of flame appeared from his hand.
With that single hand and the flame whip, he had kept the titan busy.
Attacking it, snapping the cord at it.
The titan tried to move close to Levi so it could end the fight quicker but Aaron was not about to let that happen.
"Fireball". He said and fired two fireballs at the titan.
The titan dodged it and tried to get close to Levi again but Aaron was snapping at it with a fire whip.
The titan became angry and snarled loudly.
Snarlllll~
It changed its target from Levi to Aaron and ran towards the gate.
That was exactly what Aaron had been hoping for.
As soon as the titan got close enough to him, Aaron stuck his second hand through the gate and pointed both hands at the titan.
"Fire cage". He said and a cage of flames formed around the beast titan, trapping it.
