Chapter 1251 - Demons’ Horde (Part 1) (2/2)
Tyris's height at the withers was over 50 meters (164 feet) tall and 87.5 meters (287 feet) long, but the Leviathan's body extended for over 122 meters (400 feet), managing to easily squeeze her limbs and her neck at the same time.
”Coming here was stupid of you.” Fenagar unleashed more and more spells at point-blank range at his trapped opponent. ”Giving me the time to prepare for your arrival was all I needed to win.
”You had a plan to get rid of my arrays, but they were just a disposable diversion only meant to waste your energy. Their complexity hid the brilliant simplicity of my real goal.
”No matter how strong a Guardian is, we still have to follow the laws of physics and magic. You are a flying creature while I'm a sea serpent. Guess who's going to win now that we're under hundreds of tons of water?”
Tyris attempted to Blink, but Fenagar disrupted her dimensional magic and started to freeze the water around them. The cold did nothing to him while it would weaken his opponent even faster and rob the Griffon of her precious lightning.
Ice was a bad conductor and in a fight between equals, it was more than enough to tip the scales in his favor.
”Provoking me was stupid of you.” Tyris grinned as her body came out unscathed from all of Fenagar's attacks. ”You used well the time I needed to get here, but so did I. Did you really think that I wouldn't spend those eight minutes preparing my best spells?”
Tyris's body started to glow like a sun as it increased in size beyond what the Leviathan could constrict. Only then did Fenagar notice that every single feather of her eagle side, every single hair of her feline side was covered by a hard-light construct as thin as paper yet as hard as a diamond.
Even Soul Vision couldn't distinguish between the energy of something so small and the living energy that a Guardian going all-out was. On top of that, Tyris had infused both herself and the construct with Life Maelstrom.
That way, not only did her innate ability enhanced her already outstanding physical prowess, but it also hid the presence of the construct while making it durable enough to withstand Guardian tier spells.
The Griffon-shaped construct, Castle of Light, kept growing in size, trapping both Guardians inside. Fenagar cursed Mogar when he realized what had happened. Tyris had now lost her unbreakable protection, but it had been a worthy exchange.
He was now in a dry space full of air where his long body was just a huge target. Facing a Griffon in the air was moronic and to make matters worse, the entire construct obeyed to Tyris's will, leaving him no safe place where to retreat.
”F.u.c.k!” Fenagar saw Tyris charge at him from above while the colossal construct took flight as well, aiming for the surface.
'The moment this thing reaches the sky, our situation will be fully reversed. With no water nor earth to manipulate, there's little difference between a Leviathan and an oversized fish bait.' He thought.
Unfortunately for him, even though the spells he had at the ready could pierce through the construct while they were still underwater, it would require his full focus to find and exploit the weak points in the Life Maelstrom enhanced structure.
Focus that the Leviathan had to devote to his opponent unless he wanted to be turned into shreds.
Tyris unleashed her Guardian tier Light Mastery spell, Fire Titan. A scorching sphere of fire came out of her beak and started to grow in size, filling the Griffon-shaped construct.
Now Fenagar's space to move would constantly reduce, forcing him to face three threats at the same time. The Fire Titan, the enraged Tyris, and the hard-light that attacked him from every side.
