These Familiars Are Strange

The ones that had their weapons destroyed could only reveal bitter looks on their faces, but it wasn't as if they were going to go down to ogres.

Even if the ogres destroyed their weapons, they were still able to fight since these were ogres that they were facing.

They were the elite talents of the country, so it wasn't as if they would lose to ogres that easily. At the same time, these ogres were nothing more than mobs that surrounded the Elite Monster, so it wasn't as if they were that special.

As long as they didn't make a mistake, it was easy for them to deal with these ogres.

But the flames around the weapons of the ogres really did make things hard.

Those flames were just too powerful for them to touch directly, so they just couldn't fight the ogres head on.

The only thing that they could do was fight the ogres with long range attacks that avoided the flames. The flames that the avatar of fire gave only wrapped around the weapons of the ogres, it didn't completely surround the ogres themselves.

So there were still parts of the ogres that were still exposed.

That was what was targeted by the attackers.

When they were hit with these attacks, they were able to block it with their thick skins to a certain extent. But even then, it wasn't as if they were able to block all of the different attacks that were sent at them.

So eventually there were ogres that started to fall.

But at the same time, the ogres put up a good fight and they were able to injure a few of the humans.

Then all of a sudden, the avatar of flames seemed like it had been awakened by something as the flames around it suddenly burst outwards. It was as if there was some kind of reaction that was happening inside of the avatar of flames that was increasing its power.

The flames that had been around it suddenly became much bigger compared to before.

At the same time, it seemed that the avatar of fire was growing several times bigger compared to before.

But that avatar of fire didn't actually make a move against the humans.

Instead, it suddenly went to where the Kijin was and surrounded it.

After surrounding the Kijin, it seemed to wrap around the figure of the Kijin and turned into some kind of robe that completely covered the Kijin.

With this robe of flames around it, it was as if the Kijin had turned into some kind of ruler that controlled flames. With this robe of flames around it, the pressure that the Kijin gave off was far greater than before.

That put more pressure on the ones that were fighting the ogres since they were the ones that were receiving the brunt of the Kijin's pressure.

When the robe of flames finished gathering around the Kijin, the flames suddenly changed. It gathered around the Kijin as if there was some kind of explosion that was being prepared.

There were ugly looks that appeared on the faces of the humans when they saw this.

Even a fool would be able to tell that the Kijin was preparing some kind of powerful attack with the way that it was gathering flames like this.

Leaf also recognized this, which was why she suddenly summoned out her familiar.

Even though she had been restraining the ogres, she had never summoned out her familiar and had relied on the power of the artifact that was in her hand.

It wasn't that she didn't want to show the power of her familiar, it was just that her familiar wasn't actually suited for restraining these ogres like the artifact she used.

The familiar that she summoned out was a strange one.

It was a tree that appeared behind Leaf.

She didn't have a normal animal familiar like everyone else, but rather she had a rare and unexpected plant familiar.

There were others that had been recorded to have a plant familiar in the past, but there were few that had been recorded to have become a powerful summoner. That was just how hard it was to have a plant familiar that was strong enough.

It was a rare kind of familiar and it was one that had strange abilities.

The moment that Leaf's tree appeared, there was this green light that came from the leaves of that tree familiar.

After that green light shined for a bit, there was this layer of green light that appeared around the humans. This layer of green light seemed to be healing them to a certain extent as their wounds started to close.

No one was able to fully understand what Leaf was doing since the Kijin released its attack.

Though people tried to dodge out of the way, there were just too many flames that had been released by the Kijin. It was inevitable that there were those that were swallowed by the flames that the Kijin released.

However, after those flames disappeared, it revealed that they weren't actually hurt.

They were standing there with the same layer of green light around them and a dazed look on their faces.

The dazed look showed that they had no idea what happened since it was clear that they weren't the ones that had resisted the flames that the Kijin released.

It didn't take long for them to realize that it was the green light around them that had protected them from the flames.

This green energy not only healed them, but also formed a barrier that stopped the flames from reaching them. Find adventures at My Virtual Library Empire

It seemed that Leaf's familiar was a support type of familiar that healed and protected, which was why she didn't summon it until now.

But that still left a big problem…

Even if they were able to defend against the attacks of the Kijin, that didn't mean that they had a way of fighting back against it.

So how were they supposed to defeat it when it powered up like this?
