"There’s one thing I don’t understand." Manohar said amid pants, in the hope to buy time and cast spells solely with his nimble fingers. "Why attack at daybreak? Aren’t undead afraid of sunlight?"
The Bright Day laughed at both his words and his futile attempt. Life Vision showed her the spells he was preparing and the elements he would employ, yet she humored him.
"Because that’s when your defenses are at their weakest. Your trust in the ball of fire in the sky makes you humans conceited, leaving for the day shift the worst soldiers that go to relieve the now exhausted cream of the crop.
"Didn’t you read Verhen’s report about my abilities?" A snap of Dawn’s fingers made the white aura that shrouded her soldiers visible to the n.a.k.e.d eye.
"Oh, shit." Manohar did read Lith’s report and now he knew that the sun would bring the Kingdom’s army no solace.
"Oh, shit, indeed!" Dawn pointed her finger, unleashing her tier four spell, Sunshine. A barrage of laser-like rays, each one as thick as an arm and as hot as a furnace, rained upon the battlefield.
The Mad Professor snarled, conjuring his own tier four spell Hot Shot. A similar barrage of mixed light and fire intercepted most of the Bright Day’s rays so that very few soldiers died from it.
The rest remained injured because his spell was too weak to stop hers, it had only managed to weaken Sunshine.
Now that Manohar had no spells at the ready, Dawn conjured a series of tier four spells based on air, earth, and water to finish him off. He ignored them and chanted his next attack.
The living vortex generated by Belius’ magical formations enveloped the Horseman once again, nullifying her spells and making her fall onto the ground along with her steed.
Light and darkness were the only elements that no city blocked, but only because without them the healers would be reduced to regular people.
"Enough of this crap!" She said, tired of being interrupted.
Powered up by her steed, a huge spear-shaped construct the size of a train car appeared in her left hand. It moved at the speed of light and struck with surgical precision where the arrays’ control center was.
For a moment, Belius’ protections flickered and so did the border towers. Yet thanks to the barriers protecting the building the damage failed to destroy the control center. That until a second and a third spear appeared in each of her hands.
"How do you know where to strike?" Manohar was flabbergasted.
"I’m not playing anymore. Read the damn report." Dawn threw the two spears while the god of healing was still casting, making the arrays crumble.
Acala had worked as Ranger of the Kellar region for years. He didn’t have the passcodes anymore but he remembered well where every secret of the Kingdom was kept and he gladly shared them with his partner.
’Everyone will now suffer as you did for being unfairly treated.’ Dawn thought.
’Thanks, darling.’ He replied with mad fury.
"Now, let’s end this charade. Die!" While her army was no longer restrained by either the sun or the arrays, the Bright Day lunged at Manohar’s head with her Twilight blade.
’F.u.c.k my pride. I lost against Night because I didn’t practice darkness magic and I lost against Dawn as well because I don’t know how to use the stuff Orion gave me.’ He thought. ’At this point, my reputation is lost.’
There were now five Manohars, something that even a Guardian would consider a crime against humankind. One was universally considered too much, two were an abomination, three or more a plague that had to be eradicated. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com
