Chapter 1102 Dumb Genius Part 2

"You two bring the children to the woods! We’ll cover for you." Selia released the arrow just to watch it being deflected by the nearest undead’s enchanted protection while more of Night’s soldiers ripped out the windows from the outside.

Selia cursed her useless bow, regretting for the first time in her life to have never learned magic. Her hunting knife was enchanted, but with her speed, she had no chance to beat even a skeleton in close-quarters combat.

"You’ve heard her, run!" Nalrond’s eyes blazed with black and white mana as the enemies swarmed the house.

Slash and Crash would have gladly obeyed if only they could find an opening in the undead’s formation. They had even put Lilia and Leran on their backs, but unless something happened, running away would only put the children in pointless danger.

Nalrond pushed Selia on top of Crash while he helplessly watched their house being torn apart.

As the walls crumbled and the first wave of enemies hit him, Nalrond released the very spell that he had learned from Dawn during her fight against Lith, Daybreak.

It was a mix of light, fire, and darkness magic that generated a wave of dark energy followed by a volley of fiery constructs shaped like snakes. The darkness engulfed the room, sealing even the undead’s mystical senses while the hard-light constructs attacked from every side.

The spell turned the Rezar into a one-man army while the light blooming from the shadows made him look like a rising sun. Each tendril of light moved akin to a new limb, coiling around his enemies and paralyzing them.

The heat coursing through the constructs was so intense that the undead’s regenerative abilities couldn’t keep up with the damage fire magic caused, making it impossible for them to escape the constructs’ grip.

The darkness spreading from the Rezar destroyed their protections first and then seeped inside their blood cores. One after another, the undead disappeared in a puff of smoke and the tendrils of light started to chase a new target.

The magical beast decided that the chaos following the tier five spell was "something" enough and ran towards the Trawn woods, hoping that the rampaging Rezar behind them would keep anyone from noticing their escape.

A few hundreds of meters above the ground, Night looked at the mess unfolding in front of her eyes, wondering how could her plan have gone so wrong.

’I spent weeks planning this attack, waiting for the moment when only small fries are around and studying the Queen’s Corps routine. Heck, I even disobeyed Mom and messed up with the Council, yet this is all I got?’ She thought. _{frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓}

The team she had sent to kill Rena had yet to report, her sister Dawn seemed to have infiltrated her ranks to sabotage the mission, and the complexity of the arrays protecting Lith’s home was beyond her wildest expectation.

’What kind of madman puts so much effort into protecting a frigging cottage and what the heck is that array?’ Yurial’s Hexagram spread its blue light above the house, thwarting Night’s plans over and over again.

Right after completing the several arrays necessary to seal air magic in the area surrounding the Verhen household and to keep the noise from the attack to draw unwanted attention, Night had cast one of her personal tier five darkness spells.
