Dreamland mmorpg: Rising

Chapter 84: Elemental Magic

Mina and Tina recieved a message from Duraralt to go outside the city, to be exact to a hill that was near of Bradtiel, they did not know why but they went either way because maybe Duraralt found something interesting but when they arrived a giant fireball attacked the girls.
An elf girl who hand short blonde hair, green eyes who was wearing a tight black dress and a headband was waiting at them, at her side Duraralt was sleeping using his spear as a bed.
-Tina: Who are you?
-???: Your teacher. I am going to teach you a pair of things of magic.
-Mina: And your name is?
-Anne: Anne is my name.
-Tina: And Duraralt is sleeping. Really?
Tina pokes Duraralt but the only thing that she manages to do is to be hit by Duraralt spear.
-Anne: Use golems to wake him up. That way they eat the hit.
-Tina: Ouchhh, it hurts!
-Anne: Hear me well, because I'm not going to repeat myself all of this. There are 7 elements! Fire, Water, Earth, Thunder, Wind, Darkness and Light! All of them have their strong points and weak points.
-Tina: So?
-Anne: You need to know what all the elements can do. Also how they can combine! I'm a three elements mage too but I know how to use smoke and ice thanks to investigating my elements well! It's a secret of Dreamland. And believe me there are quite a lot. Like the random quests.
-Tina: I never found on of them!
-Mina: Neither me!
-Anne: Lucky girls. (Coughs) Combining elements is important. There are 42 elemental variations! And before you ask, thunder and earth cannot combine! That's why! Ice is the combination of Wind and water! The cold wind freezes the water, but this variation has the properties of Wind and Water and a better defense than both of them!
-Mina: And those properties which are?
-Anne: Agh... I'll have to say all of the properties, no? Well, that will come with a price! Still it is a good deal for you...
-Tina: Do it, I don't care the price!
-Anne: That thinking will be a trouble someday.
-Tina: I don't want to be all day here.

Anne sighed and then smiled.
-Anne: Ok! Fire is an offensive magic, mostly it is an element of destruction that has a strong damage, but has no molding ability, defense ability and crowd control ability.
-Mina: Oh, so any spell like fire wall is pretty bad!
-Anne: Yes! Water is an offensive/defensive element, great molding ability, good areas of attack, good defense but the damage is pretty low.
-Mina: But you can use it a lot!
-Anne: Earth is a defensive element with decent molding, but has better damage and defense than Water. Thunder is an offensive element, good damage and good crowd control properties. Wind is an offensive element but has medium damage compared to the others but can perforate armors quite easily, so it is an element to destroy barriers and defense and has a decent molding.
-Mina: Wow, that's cool!
-Anne: And for last Darkness and Light. Light is an offensive magic with good attack, and can be molded very well. Darkness is a crowd control magic, no damage, no defense, no molding. Just crowd control
-Tina: I never heard of light mages.
-Anne: Diane uses light magic. It's like shooting lasers. Pretty dangerous. But now... the price!

Anne grabs two books of her bag and smiles. Mina and Tina check them and see that are singer skill books.
-Tina: For what us this skill?
-Anne: Like the bards, singers can enhance other people power but by singing songs. There are no active skills in that skill tree, so you have to compose music.
-Mina: I don't know why but I have the same feeling that I had when Adreilt asked us to help in his restaurant.
-Tina: I had that feeling too. I knew that something like that could happen.
-Anne: Well, Diane is preparing an event but we need singers. Cute ones. And you could help me back...
-Tina: Knew it... We have to do it.
Duraralt wakes up.
-Duraralt: Huh? You finished explaining the elements variations? The 42 of them?
-Anne: Yes! But I had to explain a bit more and to pay back that I ask them to help with Diane's event...
-Duraralt: If I see them in a manga... Consider yourself and Diane dead.
-Anne: Understood!
Anne starts looking the twins from many angles and starts writing in a notebook. Tina starts looking angry.
-Tina: What are you doing?
-Anne: I'll have to prepare your outfits! You will be on a stage, singing!
-Tina: The armors aren't enough?
-Anne: Yours is okay, but your sister's is way too closed. It'll be hard to sing well in that outfit.
Then Anne feels something poking her back. It was Disaster with Duraralt on it.
-Duraralt: What we talked?
-Anne: None of your armors will be onstage?
-Duraralt: Yes! Sooo?
-Anne: Do two outfits. Understood.
-Duraralt: Next time you think on putting any of my armors in a stage... I turn you into a croquette and give you to Yata. He'll devour you if I do that. Get it?
-Anne: Yes sir!
-Mina: Why mine is too closed?
-Anne: Well, let's say that a bit of purity always is good but in a stage you have to make everyone look at you. And not only for your music.
Tina grabs Mina before she could say nothing and whispered something in her ear and made Mina smile and blush.
-Mina: I accept! Do as you have to! I really want to look pretty.
Duraralt did a facepalm and left.
-Duraralt: “Geralt... I have a bad feeling! A bad one about this event! Those two are already preparing that!"

Meanwhile, Geralt has arrived to the river that separates the grass area and the forest area. He starts looking for a way to cross it until he finds a boy chased by 80 players passing through a bridge made of wood. Geralt smiles and tries to go through it when it exploded making the boy fall in front of Geralt and the players following him falling to the water.

Seems that Geralt has found another lucky guy! But how he will pass the river? Stay tuned and vote if you like this chapter!
