90 Destroying the shadows (1/2)
At the beginning Azel was sure that the plan was flawless, not only they had taken into consideration external factors like the Magus that accompanies Zatiel, but also utilized a magic item that could imprison Peak Rank 2 life forms for a long time and erase any escape route.
The three Eye Lord had discussed for a long time how to proceed, and in the end, they decided to use Mira's Shadow Cage as the battleground.
Shadow Cage was a magic item that looks like a dot of shadows that could be used to momentarily trap an enemy inside the dimension it contained.
This was Mira life-saving card since originally it wasn't made to withstand the energy a fight between Rank 2 individual will release and his use was only to give the Eye Lord time to escape.
Azel and James took out material from their storage and along the woman, worked together to transform the Shadow Cage into a stable battleground with tracking abilities.
This took a long time, and since neither James or Mira could give themselves the luxury of ignoring the excavation of fallen star and infuriate the powerhouses behind them, they had to divide their time and in the end, it took them five months to complete the transformation.
The ideal scenario would have been that Zatiel attacks them, in that case capturing him and anyone who would have followed him will have been very easy, but unfortunately that didn't happen and seeing that the end of the excavation was approaching, they were forced to act first.
Although they failed to capture Kira, Azel was still confident in the success of the assassination.
He was very old and know of the infamous nature of Magi and the fact that they will never put themselves in danger for another individual and even if she acted, the dimension defenses were strong enough to withstand until Zatiel was dead.
But all that confidence was shattered when he felt the entire dimension trembling as if it was about to collapse.Find authorized novels in Webnovel,faster updates, better experience,Please clickfor visiting.
When James and Azel realize the precarious situation of the Shadow Cage, they look at Mira who was in a meditative position with her eyes closed and a small sphere filled with all sorts of inscriptions floating two meters above her head.
This was the core of the dimension and by putting part of her consciousness in it, was how Mira controlled this space.
The Eye Lord's face was ashen and a thin trail of blood came from the corner of her mouth as she used the consciousness inside the core to withstand the damage dealt to the dimension.
”Mira, what is going on, how can a Rank 2 Magus release a power so high that surpass the dimension defenses?” Azel's face was filled with distress. If by any chance Zatiel manages to escape, then his future was going to become a living hell.
”She is not alone, there are two other individuals with her,” Mira's eyes remained closed as she moves her hand creating a screen that showed what was happening outside.
Azel saw three figures attacking the air, but all their attacks seem to impact an invisible wall and cracks started to form due to the immense power they released.
One figure corresponded to Kira, who had a green pentagram made of flames in her back and was constantly releasing fireball into the invisible wall.
Next to her was a woman with black crystal wings, her body was covered by runes that glowed with a dark light and her palms were pointing at the invisible wall but although nothing seems to come out from them, more and more crack filled the air.
The last one was a man, he was a fifty-meter tall lightning giant and just like the woman, his entire body was cover by runes, but these had a metallic light.
Logically, such an immense body should be slow, but the man's arms transformed into pure lightning and only returned to its physical form when they were about to land in the invisible wall, greatly increasing his speed and the amount of damage he generated.
Although these Eye Lords were able to recognize both Ezequiel and Sophia as Rank 1 individuals of the empire, they didn't have the time to figure out how could they bee so strong since the periphery of the dimension was already beginning to break.
”You have to hurry up!, with the three attacking together, I can barely withstand another minute before having to shut down the dimension,” Mira face was pale and more blood came from her mouth and nose as she focuses all of her power in enduring the bombardment from outside.
The faces of James and Azel were solemn as they understood that they have to kill Zatiel immediately or else when the dimension is broken, they will have to face him and three other individuals equally powerful.
The white aura covering James' body increase greatly before most of it being redirected to his right hand where it started to rotate and transformed his entire arm into a gigantic drill.
There was a great resolution on Azel's face, as he made the blue eyes on his forehead glow and bleed.
