Manaless Mage-Chapter 298: I’ll make you pay for this…

"W-what is going on with him...?" Bonny muttered, his body shivering as he stared at Trent.

He subconsciously stepped away from him, his eyes widened in shock.

"I-I don’t know... is this a new s-spell?" Sonny replied, his eyes glued to Trent’s hovering figure.

The sheer amount of powerful mana oozing out of the young Elementalist bore heavily on their mana cores, making it hard for them to channel their mana, talk less of casting a spell.

Trent was only a middle stage three Elementalist, but it felt like they were standing before a stage four Elementalist!

"I... won’t... lose..." Trent kept mumbling, his iris and pupils slowly vanishing from his eyes, with only the white parts remaining.

The sight of him eyes alone sent chills down the spines of the other two Elementalists, and they couldn’t help but feel that Trent had gotten possessed by a ghost.

Swoosh!

Suddenly, the stream of water around his body coalesced, forming into eight large tentacles, which wrapped themselves around his body.

Fwoosh!

The tentacles abruptly spread out, and a powerful gust of wind violently swept across the forest.

"Ugh..." Bonny and Sonny grunted, their feet sliding a few meters back due to the force of the wind.

"Damn it..." Bonny cursed, his eyes narrowing as he gazed at Trent’s new appearance.

He was still floating in the air, except now the lower half of his body was covered in a thick stream of water, with eight large tentacles spreading out of his torso.

The tentacles kept wriggling in the air, almost like they had a life of their own.

Trent’s eyes were completely white, and his head hung down from his neck, making it seem like he was no longer conscious.

His lips parted softly, but only a few words left them: "I... won’t... lose..."

"Sonny!" Bonny called out to his brother, his face twisted into a deep frown.

Though he didn’t know what was going on with Trent, it clearly wasn’t something that would end well for them.

"He’s clearly out of his mind! We need to get away... now that he’s still out of it." He continued, grabbing unto his brother’s arm.

"Y-yeah... you’re right..." Sonny replied, snapped out of his daze by his brother’s grip.

"Fire Dash!"

"Earth Glide!"

They quickly activated their speed boost spells, before making a dash for it.

Swoosh!

However, two tentacles shot towards them at that instant, rapidly closing in on them.

The first one headed towards Bonny, slamming down on him from the top.

’Too fast!’ His eyes widened in shock, and he swiftly leapt to the side, causing the water tentacles to strike the ground instead.

Sonny on the other hand, wasn’t too lucky.

"Haa!" He yelped as a tentacle coiled itself around his leg, instantly snuffing out the flames from his spell.

Before he could even react, the tentacle lifted his body in the air, before pulling him towards Trent.

"Haa!!" He screamed even louder, unable to regain control of his body as he was dragged back to Trent.

"Sonny!" Bonny shouted, gnashing his teeth in annoyance.

He quickly dashed towards his brother, aiming to free him from the water tentacle.

However, the other tentacle suddenly charged at him once more, launching a powerful blast of water at his back.

"Earth Wall!" He immediately shouted, and a thick wall of earth rose up from the ground in front of him.

Bam!

The water blast slammed into the wall with full force, sending a powerful tremor across its surface.

But contrary to his expectations, the blast didn’t vanish, even after striking the earth wall.

The tip rapidly spun in a spiral, drilling into the wall’s thick surface.

Cracks rapidly appeared around the wall, and the wall trembled, unable to hold back against the water drill.

Beads of sweat rolled down Bonny’s back, and his heart beat quickened, realising the danger he was in.

"Wall charge!" He shouted, thrusting his hands forward.

The earth wall immediately shot forward, pushing back against the water drill.

Crack!

The cracks around its surface increased, and before long, it crumbled into dust, before vanishing into thin air.

However, its sudden charge managed to disperse the water drill, and the attack also disintegrated into tiny particles.

"Haa..." Bonny let out a low sigh of relief, feeling a bit grateful that he managed to survive such a deadly attack.

But then, he remembered his brother who was still in danger, and his face twisted into another deep frown.

"Sonny!" He shouted, snapping his head to the back, where the Elementalist was.

However, his eyes widened in horror when he saw the state he was in, and his body trembled in anger.

Sonny was hanging upside down in front of Trent, with one of the tentacles tightly wrapped around his legs.

He kept wriggling, trying his best to free himself from the tentacle grip, but all his efforts were in vain as it was just too strong.

Suddenly, a small stream of water slowly flowed down from the tip of the tentacle, wrapping his body in a thick cocoon of water.

Sonny’s eyes widened, the strong water pressure crushing him from all sides.

He kept struggling helplessly, small bubbles slowly rising from his mouth and nose as he drowned.

"Let him go!" Bonny shouted, dashing towards Trent with his face twisted in rage.

But then, it was already too late as Sonny’s body soon went limp within the water cocoon, with his mouth wide open.

His body was soon freed from the water cocoon, dropping to the ground with a low thud.

The water sticking to his body evaporated in tiny blue particles, but he didn’t move an inch, only lying on the ground with his eyes closed and his mouth open.

"S-Sonny..." Bonny mumbled, staring at his brother’s unconscious body in disbelief.

He subconsciously halted his steps, taking a moment to glance at Trent, his gaze filled his hate and anger.

"You’ll pay for this... I’ll make you pay for this!" He shouted, stretching his arms wide.

’There’s no point in holding back against a monster like you... I’ll show you, why I’m ranked first in my academy!’ He thought, clenching his hands into a tight fist.freeweɓnovēl.coɱ
