Another flick of the wand unleashed his tier five spell, Dark Dimension. Vastor’s eyes turned black and every speck of light disappeared from the room, making Zinya think that she had gone blind again.
The darkness spread throughout the room and when the undead tried to move forward, they discovered that the energy surrounding them was so thick that it was akin to moving through mud.
A mud that seeped inside all of their orifices, flooding their bodies with darkness magic until nothing was left. To those staring at the scene from the outside, the lights inside the house had just flickered.
Yet five elder undead had disappeared, whereas the humans still stood there as if nothing had happened. Vastor drank the potions he had left on the table while looking in the eyes of the flabbergasted undead who were staring at him from the broken windows.
"Who are-" A beam of golden light cut the female undead short and her head off.
A split second later, all those who had met Vastor’s gaze joined her in death, their bodies burning under the effects of the golden wand he wielded. Zogar Vastor was more than a short, overweight mage.
He was a Royal Forgemaster, a Spellbreaker, and after the undead invasion had started, he had even joined the Queen’s corps again. The golden wand was the latest weapon developed by the joint efforts of the Balkor department, the Royal Forgemasters, and Manohar.
The enchanted tool was capable of turning tier four and five spells into the next best thing to sunlight. Each beam consumed a lot of mana and lasted for a split-second, but the amount of light it produced could kill any undead if the beam hit a vital spot.
Aside from the Royal Guards who aided Lith at hundreds of kilometers away, only a few selected individuals had one.
The second wave of undead avoided Vastor’s line of sight and broke through the walls. Thanks to their enhanced senses, they didn’t need to see the human to pinpoint his position and by moving in a straight line they were certain of taking him by surprise.
Vastor didn’t even flinch while he activated his tier five spell, Night Parasite. The dust and debris that covered the undead came to life as darkness magic filled them to the brim. Black sand filled their eyes and mouths while the rocks turned into small worms that dug through the flesh of their victim.
The small worms didn’t even try to pierce through the heavily enchanted armor the undead wore. The magical constructs simply became thinner until they could slip through the mesh.
Zinya’s house rumbled due to the attack damaging some of the bearing-walls, but it held. Ten elder undead had entered and died so the leader sent twenty for the third wave and watched them die the moment they stepped inside the living room.
"Fuck discretion, bring down the house!" He yelled.
Flaming stones the size of a car crashed inside the Yehval household before exploding. Streams of darkness magic made the walls crumble under their own weight while earth magic produced a quake that turned the cozy cottage into a pile of rubble.
"Someone reports Lady Night that we’re done with our task." The leader of the third squad said just a moment before his body turned into cinders.
The debris fell to the ground, revealing a silvery sphere underneath. It shapeshifted back into a Professor uniform from the White Griffon academy and Vastor wore it with pride despite the many injuries he had sustained.
