Alpha Continent\'s Great Western Empire

April 20th

Year 1052

**BOOM!!!

An earth-shattering explosion resounded in the verdant green forest as a cloud of dust rose up from among the trees.

A series of large columns protruded from the ground and crashed into a humanoid figure that was obscured by the dust cloud.

"Break."

A young girl\'s voice rang out from within the dust cloud as the large columns shattered and turned into a pile of rocks.

"Tsk...so much dust."

**SWOOSHH!

The moment those words were spoken, the dust clouds were immediately blown away by a gust of wind, revealing the destroyed state of what was once a beautiful forest.

The owner of the voice looked around and heaved a sigh before tying her chestnut-coloured fairly long hair into a ponytail before turning her gaze towards the being in front of her who was staring at her with wary eyes.

She was wearing a black T-shirt and a pair of oversized shorts, with black laced boots on her feet.

Her most noticeable feature, her pair of blue eyes, was narrowed in displeasure as she gazed at this being in silence.

Within her pupils, one could see a crest that was made up of a single letter, from an ancient language lost to time.

"Couldn\'t you have at least spared the forest?"

The girl, New generation Fourth Hero, Laurene Hayes, asked the being in front of her, a four-metre-tall ogre with light blue skin and four arms, with the normally positioned pair each having an armband.

However, she received no reply as the ogre only gazed at her silently before abruptly slamming two of its arms together and rousing his magic power.

The ground rumbled once more, imploding into a multitude of earthen chunks in the next moment, floating up in the air at a speed faster than an average person could see.

The earthen chunks then stopped floating mid-air and all launched themselves in the direction of the girl who was staring at all this with an impassive look on her face.

"Magic Catalyst; Venus."

She calmly called out as a small crystal orb about 15cm in diameter appeared beside her and slowly floated in the air.

The crest in her blue eyes glowed with a golden light as she spread out her arms and called out.

"Rain of Earth."

The floating orb beside her glowed slightly as spears of earth emerged from the ground behind her and shot forwards towards the incoming earthen chunks.

**BOOOMMMM!!!

The spears and boulders of earth collided mid-air, releasing a shockwave that was enough to uproot even the oldest trees in the forest with ease.

Clouds of dust and dirt covered the entire area and obscuring the vision of the ogre who darted his eyes around while spreading his senses trying to sense where the girl was only for him to suddenly feel something slamming into his torso.

"Guh!!"

The ogre coughed out blood due to the force of the blow and his enormous body was sent flying into the pile of broken trees behind it.

Where he was standing formerly, the blue-eyed girl could be seen standing on an elevated rocky platform with her outstretched fist encased in a thick layer of stone.

"Who said mages aren\'t good at close combat?"

She said to herself as she pulled her fist backward, her gaze turning to the sky as she continued.

"I wonder how many of us are mages?"

While she was asking herself this question, the ogre on the ground struggled to its feet, roaring loudly as it activated multiple skills and charged towards her.

The sight of a gigantic creature whose forearms were thicker than her waist, punched down at her with a fist clad in gauntlets made of rock and stone.

\'No way in hell I\'m meeting that head-on.\'

With that thought, the girl quickly activated wind magic at her feet, manifesting gusts of wind-shaped like ark-like vessels underneath her feet.

Her body sprang into the air just in time to avoid the first two large fists that crashed on the ground where she once stood, shattering the earth as web like cracks spread out for hundreds of metres.

\'Hmm?\'

Since her mystic eyes were still active, a certain point on the ogre\'s back where it was most vulnerable was revealed to her, with a small grin appearing on her face as she activated her other unique skill.

"Myriad Casting."

The magic catalyst floating beside her glowed ever so lightly, with seven fist-sized orbs of pure magic power manifesting behind her.

\'Activate Fire and Wind.\'

Two of the seven orbs glowed red and green respectively, as they were filled with the attributed elemental magic power of the elements she had activated.

She created footholds of compressed wind which she used to walk on the air and gain distance from the ogre, however, the creature wasn\'t going to let her move away so easily.

The moment it realised it had missed its target, the ogre spread out a wave of aura, detecting Laurene\'s presence with it and locking onto her figure in the sky.

"GROOARRR!"

With a hoarse roar, the creature took a stance and jumped up into the air with two fists pulled back, intending on punching the girl out of the sky and to the ground.

Laurene, however, wasn\'t going to let herself be knocked down so easily.

"Get back to the ground, will you?"

As she spoke, she flicked her fingers and silently activated a spell, with a gigantic horizontal tornado of wind and flames manifesting in front of her.

The tornado shot forward like a drill, with the ogre\'s eyes widening in surprise as it hurriedly stretched out its lower arms while two magic circles formed around the upper pair.

The rocks that coated its arms to form the gauntlets fell off and reformed into a large shield that it held in front of its body. The centre area of the shield which it predicted the tornado\'s tip would hit was thicker than the rest of the shield\'s body.

Sadly, because it had held up a shield to protect itself from the tornado, its vision was obscured temporarily and it did not see Laurene suddenly smirk as a third orb floating behind her was lit up with a golden light.

Her fingertips trembled and various small tiny bolts of lightning shot out from the orb towards the flaming tornado.

*KABOOOM!!
