Elemental Summoner 1 by D. Levesque (best beach reads of all time TXT) 📕

“Good, then I think we are good to go,” I tell them both, reaching down and slapping both of their shapely asses, startling them both enough to make them jump and look at me as I grin at them.

“Gods fucking hell. Why the fuck don’t we just kill her?” I hear a gravelly male voice shout in frustration.

“Because she will be useful, you twat, and if you hit her one more fucking time, you can explain to Milgaf why the most powerful animal mage we are bringing them is dead,” another person says in a high-pitched voice that is already getting on my nerves.

“Fine, but if she scratches me one more fucking time she will get there alive, but I might have to fucking drag her as I will break her fucking legs.”

“You just try, you fucking ape,” I hear a female voice shout defiantly. “I will burn you like I did that last fucking ape who tried to rape me.”

What the fuck? So was she the one who killed that mage at the Homestead? Good for her, I shout in my head. Leeha has a look of confusion on her face. Upon seeing me looking at her, she shakes it off and raises her hand in a fist. I nod to her, and in my head, I say Fire. Fire Bullets, and I repeat it five more times. Once I am done, I have thirty-six Fire Bullets floating around me. I look at Bridget and she has turned into her Fire Elemental, and Leeha has four Water Bullets of her own floating around her. She brings one finger up at a time, until she is on her last one, her thumb, and she hits the five mark.

You have used the spell Fire Bullet. You have used 10 points of power. X 6

We both sprint out of the bushes and into a clearing that is just grass, with a firepit in the middle, and that is when we see the rest of the Elves. I don’t have time to count them because the five humans suddenly shoot up in surprise. The Elves, on the other hand, stay seated as they look up at us in astonishment.

“What the fuck!”

“Where did he come from!”

“Fucking hell, did we miss an Elf?”

“Kill them!” shouts the high-pitched voice from earlier in a panic. At least he knows he is being attacked. But it’s probably too late.

Suddenly, I hear my Fire Bullets go off, and they end up hitting one mage in a brown robe, shredding through his chest and leaving a large crater in the middle of it. There is another one in a red robe; my bullets first take her legs off, and then mercifully, she gets a bullet through her throat, killing her. Both of them go down before they can even cast off anything. Shit, I didn’t want to have to kill a woman, but it’s them or me. And I know who I want to count among the living after this.

In my peripheral vision, I see another one in a brown robe and another in a red robe that Leeha takes out, also before they have a chance to cast a spell. The Fire mage’s head literally exploded. That leaves one. And fucking hell, he is a big one.

The man must be a good seven feet tall, and he has a large square shield in front of him. He is in full armor, and looks like what I always imagined a Knight would look like. His head is covered with a helmet that leaves his face open, but it has a nose guard. He has so many scars on his face that I think he should have been wearing a full helmet in battle.

I send four of my Fire Bullets at him, and I get a shock. He lifts his shield up and suddenly the shield gongs like a bell, and the warrior grins at me.

“Ya won’t get magic past me, you fucking mage. All you mages are the fucking same. You all think so highly of yourselves. Well, like all mages I am sent to bring in by your Mages Society, you will all die by my sword,” he says, as he produces a sword from his back. The thing is just as massive as him.

I send another four bullets at him, and again, the bullets are stopped by his shield.

“Shit,” Leeha says suddenly.

“What?” I ask her worriedly.

“He must have a mana stone,” she says, concern in her voice.

“What’s that? I thought there was only power here, not mana?”

“There is, but a mana stone, even a small fragment, which is what he must have since I don’t see it on his shield, will absorb power, any power.”

“All right, so what is a mana stone? Is there a way around it?”

“No, not unless you can overload it. They can only hold so much power before that power needs to be released, slowly over time,” she says.

“Overload it?” I ask her with a grin.

“What?” she says, looking at me oddly. But then she gets a grin on her face. “Yes! Overload it.”

“Now, let’s see,” I tell her. The warrior is just standing there, and I am sure he is waiting for me to hit him with another spell or keep casting until my own power goes down to nothing, as a normal mage would do. But today is your fucking unlucky day, buddy.

I cancel the Fire Bullets, as I want something with even more power than that. I close my eyes and open my arms wide.

“Fire. Earth, Air, Water. Make me large hammers of each type. Like a blacksmith’s hammer. I want them to hammer into his shield in the center,” I intone.
