161 Confrontation Part 3 (1/2)
What looked to be a winning position for the Asura side quickly was stopped in its tracks by the discipline of the Deva's and their well train clerics that were extremely organized and didn't panic in the face of the Guerrilla attacks of the Asuras.
The initial burst had rip the lives of 5,000 devas but the core of their army was intact and very soon even Midori had to used her Shadow Step to move back as the sheer amount of spells coming her way started to create wounds on her metallic skin.
The pressure Midori brought to the Deva side was enormous and it was one of the reason the Asuras had been winning the fight but that all change when she had to move back and the Druids that were helping the clerics mend the wounds on their troops had time to s.h.i.+ft their attention to attacking.
CALL OF NATURE!!
200 druids cast the spell in unison as 1000 trees came to live and started attacking the Asura from both their sides while the deva s.h.i.+eld Warriors started moving forward.
Squad one, FIREBALL
Squad two, Chain Lightning
Squad three, Ice blast on the Warriors
All the mages from the devas cast the same spells whether it was Fireball or Ice Blast in an organized manner causing the spells to overlap in the same area maximizing the damage they caused. The healers in the Asura side started to feel the pressure immediately and even layering ward and heals their coordination was not even close to what was needed.
The people that they were actually able to save came at the price of Ma.s.sive resources in terms of their mana and many of the people they wanted to save just got one shot without even having a chance to retaliate. The treants flanking them also ensure that they couldn't disperse sideways forcing them to move backwards and the few people they had attacking in the shadows were starting to fail in their attempts.
Elune try to command her troops the best she could but their coordination was horrible, Omega had truly grasp the weakness of the opposite side and hit them extremely hard. The warlocks, Furys, and others threw area of effect spells in the enemy but their spells didn't overlap like their opponents and the damage was easily nullified by their healers.
Things were horrible for the Asura's and they started dropping like flies, for every deva that fell 3 asuras were burned by fireb.a.l.l.s and became Ash.
”COMMANDER… HEALERS ARE RUNNING OUT MANA TOO QUICK, AT THIS RATE WE WILL BE CRUSHED IN LESS THAN AN HOUR”
Elune sighed and knew that it was up to her to change the tides of the battle once more.
The reason she had not used her trump card so far was that there was a feeling of danger that kept a.s.sailing her soul and she felt that the moment she went all out, they would be sitting ducks.
It was a tough choice but while she was stuck between a rock and a hard place her troops were dying at a fast rate, if she waited any longer then the situation may not reversible.
Elune's totemic form of a Val'gun Roared to the skies as a blue pillar descended onto the battlefield.
MAW OF SOULS
The Maw of Souls was a spells that allowed the Defiler to collect the souls of the deceased to increased the baleful aura that was the resource necessary to use the spells related to the soul. The Fresh souls of the warriors from both sides gravitated towards the pillar of light before the Val'gun Avatar open his Jaws and a very powerful suction started swallowing them up.
The wails of the souls were extremely piercing and caused pain to the very soul of everyone around especially to the close combat fighters that didn't have a soul defenses.
The only problem was that the wails affected everyone in the battlefield including the Asuras so they missed the opportunity to attack their enemies and kill them while they were discapacitated.
The feeling of dread intensified with every soul that disappeared inside the mouth of the giant Val'gun incarnation and the Ronin felt a very sinister aura in the shape of a scythe close in on his throat but he knew that the worst was yet to come.
ONE WITH THE SWORD
The Aura of the Samurai shot to the Sky as all his defenses shot to the roof especially the ones pertaining to the mind and soul. Any attack that came his way was cut by the aura whether it was elemental, nature or physical or psychic he floated in the air like a giant sword, however, the moment he used the skill he was unable to attack.
The moment the last soul was consumed, Elune started and incantation to her deity Louxx the Plaguebringer.
