The Sinister Four: Chapter 5

Melody's P.O.V

I gazed over the distance, and I could see some kind of tower being built. They kept building up until they are as tall as 30 meters high, and there are about 4 towers. I could sense strong magic being radiated in the towers, and it turns out to be mage towers, representing the four elements that made up this planet: Fire, Water, Wind and Earth. They're the magics that people should not be messing with. The towers consists of powerful spellcasters that, when combined, can cause catastrophic destruction, and that makes the four towers of Mages incredibly powerful.

I remember when my father was kidnapped by Nadine, I perfected my magic, but not that kind of magic. My magics are a combination of light and darkness, and it took ages to finally master it all. I trained myself, learning from my mistakes and eventually mastering my magic. I am quite confident that I can bring down the four mage towers by myself.

I looked at one of the mage towers, and its hurling a bright green ball towards the demigods. I redirected the magic to the monsters, and the monsters scattered to avoid the impact. Once the green ball of magic impacted the ground, it starts to seep through the ground, and after a few seconds, green vines started sprouting out of the ground that the green magic ball hit, and it started going after the demigods. I put my right leg behind my left, and concentrated on making a dark magic that hits the vines, and as soon as the dark magic hits the vines, it starts to wither and die. Fortunately, the vines haven't reached the demigods so that was my quick thinking. Then, the other mage towers began firing their own magic ballista.

I concentrated feedback to the green mage tower, and as I watched, the green tower starts to crumble into pieces and when it's already crumbled down, it turns into ashes. When the other 3 mage towers realized what happened to the other mage tower, they stared firing their magical ballistas faster.

The magical ballistas created a very harmful effect on the battleground. Homes and buildings are destroyed by what seems to be natural disasters in the mortals point of view, and when the fire and wind magic ballista combined in mid-air, it turns into a more fiery flame that lights up the sky. The demigods scatter as the huge ball of fire landed just a few feet from the demigods. I glanced at my father, who was still battling the monsters. I used one of my hands to douse the fires off, and the other to cast feedback to the other mage towers. As I did that, the mage tower for Fire element starts to crumble down. I could sense some magic users being incinerated from inside out, and after a few minutes, the fire mage tower is no more.

Josh's P.O.V

I looked with my binoculars, and saw that the mages in the remaining 2 towers are increasingly frustrated. It was something that they hadn't thought of before. They talked amongst themselves and the water mage tower occupants began to cast a water spell. I put away my binoculars and continued to fight the monsters. As I stabbed my sword to the nearest laistrygonian giant, I saw the water mage tower began to create water and spew it on the battleground. I keep battling the remaining monsters and the water mage tower began to spew water to the city of New York. New York is now flooded with massive amounts of water. The demigods and the monsters reached for the higher ground as the flood struck, and Melody was concentrating feedback on the wind mage tower.

The wind mage tower began to suffer the same fate as the other mage towers, and that only left water mage tower standing.

The water mage tower occupants began to stare in bewilderment as 3 of the other mage towers are out of commission. It must be an exhaustive effort for Melody to cast the feedback spell to three of the mage towers and I bet she is out of energy now.

Man, I was wrong.

Melody seemed to radiate more magic than usual, and as soon as Melody was about to cast the last feedback spell, something emanated around the tower and I looked at Melody. A sphere of water began to encircle Melody and encase her in a water prison. Melody held her breath and she was panicking, since she haven't been in this situation before.

I fought through the waves of monsters, pushing forward, killing every monster that stood between me and the water mage tower. It was an exhaustive effort, but I have to get there very quickly or else Melody would drown, and I can't afford to lose Melody, especially when she is such a valuable ally.

As soon as I was in range, I fired a laser at the water mage tower, and apparently it was blocked out by invisible shield, so I concentrated my laser more, and eventually it pierced that outer layer of the invisible shield. The water mage tower stops casting its spell and as I glanced back, Melody was out of the water prison and is gasping and coughing. I quickly turned to the water mage tower, and they have sent some water monsters after me. I fought my way through, but the water mage tower sprouted more water, that makes the water level rise, and I have no choice but to fight underwater. I took a deep breath and dived underwater. Swimming through the obstacles that the water mage tower had made, I fought off the monsters. Most of the monsters are mutated fish, and some are giant lobsters.

I glanced back, and saw Melody underwater, and she was in her focus state. She thrusts her hand onto the water mage tower and her hand glowed orange. I looked back at the water mage tower and it's crumbling down like the rest of the mage towers. But it didn't crumble until it releases its final blow of magic, which is the 30 megalitres release of water into the New York City, significantly increases the water level instantly in the form of tidal wave.

Melody and I swimmed up, and we both gasped for breath. "That's good timing, Melody!" I commented.

"Yeah. It took more focus to cast a spell underwater." Melody said.
