Not only did each hit of the blade open deep cuts into Tezka's flesh, but the enchanted weapon was also imbued with several spells that had bought the blue-robed man enough time to fix his right arm that Cinder had crippled.
To make matters worse, ever since the man had taken out the dagger, his movements had changed from that of a savage prick into those of a seasoned warrior. His footwork, swordplay, and even his gait had completely changed.
Tezka had used one of his Warg abilities to have his fur harden and turn it into quills akin to that of a porcupine, yet the enchanted blade made short work of them as well.
The Eldritch used the Chaos imbued quills as means of both attack and defense, yet the blue-robed man managed to dodge everything the Abomination threw at him, and his dagger pierced through the quills as if they were made of paper.
"You did a nice job hiding your strength up to this point. A lesser fighter would have fallen for your trick and died when you changed your rhythm. What can I say, great minds think alike!"
Tezka altered the shape and density of the fur on his tails, turning them into spikes as hard as a rock, the tip of which was imbued with enough Chaos to pierce even through Adamant.
Each one of the nine tails moved as if it had a mind of its own, coordinating their attacks between them without hindering Tezka's movements. Among their many powers, Fylgjas could extend and retract their tails at will like springs.
It boosted their speed and piercing ability, allowing them to reach a length up to six meters (20 feet). On top of that, Tezka's arms and feet had a greater reach than the blue-robed man's, a gap further widened by the quills.
Truth to be told, unlike the fake Fallmug, Tezka hadn't been holding back. To control two bodies at the same time while also protecting Zinya and fighting so many enemies at the same time had taken a huge toll on his focus.
Until Vastor's arrival, he had to split his energies on two completely different battlefields. Now, however, the only role of his Spirit tail was to control the Curse of Darkness array, relieving Tezka's mind of a huge burden.
Now that the fight had become ten versus one, the blue-robed man lost his advantage as quickly as he had gained him. The tails attacked him from the sides and behind while Tezka charged in front of him.
He used one of the spells imbued in the dagger, Black Shroud to envelope himself into a thick sphere of Darkness. It hid him from the Fylgja's sight and forced Tezka to stop his attack.
Darkness was the bane of Abominations and turned their own Chaos against them. Every time the tails missed their target, they would get damaged by Black Shroud while also robbing the spell of the light element.
The resulting Chaos magic couldn't harm the blue-robed man since it was comprised of his own mana but it dealt a massive amount of damage to Tezka.
"I knew it! You're not a random psycho but an expert mage." The Fylgja said in amazement. "Too bad that compared to me you are nothing but a cub!"
The fur on the tip of his seventh tail opened, revealing the tier five gravity spell, Titan Fall. Once a Fylgja mastered all elements, they would grow an additional tail for each branch of magic that they mastered.
