Strongest Warlock - Wizard World Irregular

The remaining survivors from Nightfall Academy, as well as the other academies who had a good relationship with them, merged into a group in order to capture the King Manticore and bring it back to the academy.

Seeing that it was surrounded, the six-meter-tall King Manticore roared. Its scorpion-like tail unleashed over a dozen spiked projectiles, which contained poison.

"Brace!" Clara ordered as she activated a barrier in front of her, making the Manticore Spike headed in her direction bounce off of her shield of light.

Cedric also constructed a barrier in front of him, protecting him and his sister from harm.

The other students did something similar, having anticipated that this would happen.

Before starting the raid, Clara had briefed them about the King Manticore\'s abilities, so they had a general idea of how it would react after it was attacked.

Still, knowing how it would react and executing it once faced in real-time were two different things.

It didn\'t take long before they realized that they had underestimated their opponent.

Their strategy would\'ve worked against an ordinary Manticore.

But what they were dealing with at the moment was a King Manticore.

The barriers they created managed to hold off the Poisoned Spikes, but they only lasted for a few seconds.

Fortunately, when they realized that the barriers wouldn\'t hold, they immediately took evasive action and jumped to the side, rolling on the ground.

"Offensive Spells, fire at will!" Clara ordered.

She knew that if she allowed the Boss Monster to do as it pleased, they would find themselves being pushed back by its momentum.

"Levis Hasta!" Cedric pointed his sword at the monster and conjured several spears of light that flew in its direction.

The King Manticore flapped its bat-like wings and flew high in the air, evading Cedric\'s attacks.

It then retaliated with a supersonic roar, creating a powerful sound attack that blasted away and caused internal injuries to those who were hit by it.

Blood seeped from the corner of Cedric\'s lips as he lowered his Magical Shield.

Although he had mitigated some of the effects of the Manticore\'s Roar, its effect still permeated his body, making him nauseous.

"Aqua Anguis!" Lilian shouted, and countless water snakes emerged from the tip of her wand, flying toward the King Manticore high up in the air.

The Manticore looked at this pitiful attack in disdain before using its claws to shred the Water Snakes, dispelling them all.

"Magna Fragor!" Marco, a Third Year who was also present during the battle against the Ancient Wendigo and the Bronze Giant Snake, summoned a large Fireball. It hit the side of the King Manticore\'s body, pushing it back.

The King Manticore turned its head and growled at the puny human before unleashing another barrage of its Tail Spikes, targeting not only Marco but also the other students that were within its range.

"Combine your defensive spells!" Carla shouted at the people who were rendered immobile after getting hit by the monster\'s Supersonic Roar.

Knowing that their lives were on the line, walls of Ice and Earth rose to defend against the Spikes that were flying in their direction.

Some Wizards and Witches also created powerful gusts of wind in order to weaken the momentum of the Spikes, preventing them from breaking past their defenses.

"Come forth!" Clara commanded as a magic circle appeared under her feet. "Wisp!"

A meter-tall Light Elemental Spirit that looked like a pulsating Orb of Light appeared above Clara\'s head.

The moment it was summoned, the Wisp immediately flew toward the King Manticore with the intention of attacking it.

As soon as the Monster was within its strike range, it used the spell Sun Burst.

This spell created a blinding light that momentarily caused blindness to its target and at the same time dealt Light Elemental Damage, making it growl in pain and anger.

"Now!" Clara ordered. "Attack!"

Even without her order, the Wizards and Witches had already started casting their strongest spells in the hopes that they would be able to seriously injure the Creature.

Unfortunately for them, despite being unable to see for a brief moment, the Manticore flapped its mighty wings and flew upward, avoiding the barrage of spells that was aimed in its direction.

The Wisp trailed behind the Manticore, knowing that the latter would attack the students on the ground once it regained its vision.

But the Wisp didn\'t know that the Manticore only wanted to create distance between it and those on the ground so that it could deal with the most annoying enemy first.

The Wisp unleashed a barrage of Light Arrows at the Manticore, hitting its body.

Although it was painful, the Manticore endured until it regained its vision.

The moment it did, the monster immediately turned its body around and descended from the sky, catching the Wisp by surprise.

The Light Spirit Elemental decided to move to its right, but the Manticore had already prepared for its evasive maneuver.

Its scorpion-like tail pierced the Light Spirit Elemental, hitting its dead center. The summoned Monster staggered.

Using this chance, the Giant Manticore opened its massive jaws and chomped down, making the Spirit Elemental\'s body shatter into countless particles of light.

Clara spat a mouthful of blood as a backlash of her Summon\'s death.

This made her an easy target for the King Manticore, who realized that she was the leader of the Humans that dared to invade its territory and attack it.

Opening its mouth wide, the King Manticore unleashed another Supersonic Roar, intending to permanently take out the beautiful young lady with long black hair.

"Protect Clara!" Cedric shouted as he hurriedly threw his shield toward their Leader and activated its defensive abilities.

"Kyrie Eleison!" Cedric shouted.

Immediately, a dome of golden light emerged from the shield, covering the young lady who helplessly knelt on the ground after suffering from her backlash.

The other Wizards and Witches nearby Clara ran toward her and unleashed their own protective spells.

Domes of Ice and Earth appeared before Clara, serving as several layers of protection.

However, these layers of protection immediately broke apart the moment the Supersonic Roar collided with them.

The only one that managed to survive the attack was the Golden Dome. But even then, cracks could be seen spreading on its surface due to the damage it received.

The other Witches and Wizards who tried to help their leader were also blown away by the impact of the supersonic attack and were knocked unconscious.

"Vincula Lucis!" Cedric roared as he stabbed his sword into the ground, creating Chains of Light that bound the Manticore, holding it in place.

"Vincula Aquae!" Lilian pointed her wand at the King Manticore who had been successfully chained by her brother.

Four chains made of water also wrapped around the Manticore\'s body, binding its head, tail, and two of its legs.

"Vincula Ignis!" Marco also summoned several chains made of fire that wrapped around the monster\'s mouth, preventing it from using its Supersonic Roar.

One by one, the other Wizards unleashed their own binding spells, forcing the King Manticore to struggle in its bindings.

Half a minute later, Clara, who had somewhat recovered from her backlash, threw several paper talismans in the air that stuck themselves on the monster\'s body.

"Fulgur Fluctus!" Clara pressed her palms together, unleashing a thunder wave that electrocuted the King Manticore, making it squirm in its bindings like an earthworm sprinkled with salt.
