Chapter 1410 - Awakened Blood (Part 2) (1/2)
The emerald-gold construct avoided the Firstborn and attacked the Mad Queen from every side with the power of all elements at the same time.
Spirit Mastery also dodged Thrud's spells and sword unless they would hit its master, working as a defensive wall that took no free hits. It doubled Scarlett's attack prowess and guaranteed her survival in the case she failed to defend.
Dozens of birds with one spell.
Vladion, instead, unleashed his tier five Blood Magic spell, Immortal Ruler. Blood Magic was the Awakened undead equivalent of Spirit Magic and packed as much as a punch.
The Vampire converted part of the mana and life force stored in his full red blood core to manifest a rain of blood-blades as big as a drop and as sharp as Adamant. They would follow their target until they had pierced through its flesh and turned it into shreds.
'Would have you really abandoned them if Jakra knew the identity of the one behind the Balkor cards?' Solus asked, almost afraid of the answer.
'Please, Scarlett is no friend of us. Back when we first met, she tried to kill us both and then she spilled our secrets without a care. Had not Faluel been Faluel, we'd be f.u.c.k.e.d as f.u.c.k.
'As for Vladion, he didn't even want us in Lightkeep. He only let us in because Nyka asked him to and because he needed us. If it was up to me, I'd gladly walk away from this mess.' Lith replied with thoughts as cold as his blade.
'Yet the answer to your question is no. I wouldn't. Scarlett is precious to Nyka and Kalla, hence she's precious to me as well. As for Vladion, his death would pain Baba Yaga, and you care for her.
'She's the only person left from your old life you can still freely talk to and I'd never let you down, Solus. Never.' His honest sincerity and worry for her moved Solus to tears.
There was little good left in Lith, but it still could make him raze mountains and split oceans for the sake of the people he loved.
'Last but not least, I've got my professional pride on the line. As long as I'm paid, I always follow my job through. You know that.' That last part bummed her big time.
Meanwhile, to dodge the emerald-gold and blood-red avalanche Thrud had been forced to step back until she reached the first outer rim of lesser Dragons. She had discovered at her expense that Immortal Ruler defended its caster as well.
Every time one of her spells or her blade was about to reach Vladion, the blood droplets would merge and turn into a flexible shield that stopped her attacks. She had nothing at the ready that could stop such powerful spells and she wasn't an Awakened.
Yet.
”You guys are amazing!” She said with a huge smile on her face that sent a shiver down her enemies' spines.
Thrud lit four of the seven gems on Arthan's Sword, unleashing a quadra-elemental spell that was supposed to be impossible for someone without a tower.
Staunch Griffon conjured a rock wall as big as the tunnel and infused with darkness, air, and fire. The black flames evaporated the blood and eroded the emerald tide while the solid rock wall stopped their advance.
On top of that, the air element repelled the enemy's spells by creating an air barrier and by mixing itself with the black flames to generate timed explosions akin to small Raging Novas.
