130 Sigfrid Vs Nightmare Part 4 (1/2)

The priest had a tall task cut out for himself as he continuously dispelled all the status altering spells that landed on Sigfrid while sustaining his own Sanctuary. This was a huge burden for him but he had to pull out all the stops and use all his artifacts which included a morning star weapon that collected the energy of the sun making his Holy Power regeneration 20% higher.

Under normal circ.u.mstances that was enough to help the priest sustain their healing and enhancement abilities for a long time but having four elites beating on him quickly depleted his reserves.

The Race to the portal continued and the priest was constantly a.s.sailed by acid bullets layered on top of high damage attacks to his vitals from the a.s.sa.s.sin. The coercer on the other hand was throwing mental attacks and trying to dispel any enhancement on Sigfrid himself and was accompanied by the Witch Doctor that was landing every Movement speed slow he had in his a.r.s.enal.

Sigfrid and Nightmare were evenly match despite all the work Nightmare put in throughout the years and it was extremely frustrating for him to launch attack after attack and seeing the entrance to the Abyss closer and closer.

Sigfrid knew that despite being outnumber it was Nightmare's fight to lose. The moment he and the priest reached the portal, it was all over and the best chance of killing him would be gone for good. The spells came one after another and nightmare created skeletal warriors that jumped at Sigfrid desperately trying to tight his feet up but they never made it pa.s.sed the consecration grounds that burned them into ashes.

The closer to the portal they got, the more intense the fight was and hundreds of blows were exchanged in a flash before they separated and did it all over again.

The Winged Lions were 4th tier creatures and they were intelligent to the extent of communication with other beings using telepathy. The ones constantly interacting with humans were capable of the delicate control of the lips, teeth and Jaw required to shape words.

The moment Sigfrid and the Priest jumped to the ground, they took off in the direction of Silverwing City to report the events that happened and other messages that Sigfrid wanted to relied to Ivan. Information was of utmost importance due to the significance of the attack… how did Nightmare know to wait for him? Was the Leader of the Demon Squad actually a p.a.w.n of Harbinger?.

The information was very valuable and since having the mount did not warrant their arrival to the portal, it was better to send them to report.

”So far so good” thought Sigfrid, calculating the distance left until they were safe.

SIZZLE!!

The focus of both knights was battle heighten in order to respond to the minute changes in the fight and they didn't missed the strange sound coming from behind. 50 ft back there was a huge screen that appeared in an instant and thanks to the speed everyone was moving, there was no time to evade it.

It was a trap very similar to laying a very thin black wired on the ground and then lifting it at the right time so that an animal that was running lost its head. There was no distinction between Sigfrids or Nightmare's forces, everyone that crossed the screen started corroding in real time and becoming liquid on the ground.

CORROSIVE SCREEN

Six people melted not knowing what happened to them and as the leaders eyes constricted watching the scene, time stopped moving, and a 10 ft tall shadow appeared behind Sigfrid and a 4 finger claw penetrated his chest.

Tsch… (Click tongue)..

(Eerie Reptilian Voice)... ”So many years of preparation and still can't kill him… Harbinger would be disappointed Nightmare, but don't you worry, you can go to your G.o.ds realm knowing that Sigfrid the Immortal is dead”.

A tail made of volcanic rock wrapped around Nightmare's body and held him in place while Sigfrid struggled to get released from the hand that was impaling him. During the struggle, Sigfrid's eyes opened wide as he felt 2 giant fangs penetrated his skull and then a strong suction force. It was all over, Sigfrid's consciousness faded away little by little while hearing a very satisfied whispered, ”How Nutty Ivan has been, thank you for the Info”

”You are welcome Nightmare, now your family can rest in peace… Why don't you joined them”

The tailed started squeezing breaking all of Nightmares bones while Green Chaos fire started to burn and corrode his very being.

AHH!

Nightmare screamed and struggled but it was useless, half his body was already burned into nothingness and there was no way of making it out alive.

The pain of being burned alive was lingering but all of the sudden the pressure from the ma.s.sive tail was no longer constricting him and when he focus his eyes there was an old face that whispered, ”Well… Sigfrid is dead, the question is would you like to remain an Elysian or do you want to go into your G.o.d's Realm?”
