Dolgus was now free from Senara's trap and spun his polearm to keep the Awakened at bay. The weapon was perfectly balanced and thanks to its enchantments, the motion was slowly conjuring a tornado that made it hard to approach him without becoming easy prey.
Yet now that the cover of the Void was gone, the Council representative could pinpoint the dimensional coordinates to send the reinforcements on the hill without them being blinded by the blackness.
The other three Council representatives arrived along with their personal disciples and closest allies, people who would fight without asking questions. The death of so many Awakened was a tragedy, sure, but it was also the perfect cover to issue a kill order.
The official version was that the parlay had been broken by the Abominations in the attempt to feed on Senara, with no mentioning of the Mouth or Elphyn.
"Each squad focus on one of them and take them down." Ozak said. "The hybrids are strong, but they can't use breathing techniques or they would have done it under the cover of the blackness.
"We just need to kill one of them and their formation will crumble."
Theseus inwardly cursed at those words, knowing they were true.
Bytra had recovered thanks to Solus, but he and Zoreth were on their last leg. Using their bloodline abilities and casting so many spells had taken a huge toll on them. On top of that, even with Mana Body, Silverwing's Annihilation still drained a huge chunk of his energy.
Only Lith, Dolgus, and Solus had regained their strength, but they were still outnumbered seven to one and counting.
Now the gap in numbers had gone back to the beginning of the fight, but this time there was no trick to blind the newcomers and have Solus strike at them while they were defenseless.
To make matters worse, all the Council representatives had arrived and their prowess had no equal among their peers.
Ozak and his apprentices conjured the tier five Spirit Spell, Griffon Fetters, conjuring a hexa-elemental bundle of emerald chains that wrapped themselves around Zoreth. As its name implied, it had been devised to restrain Griffons, the strongest creatures.
The Darkness Dragon fell to her knees as the chains became tighter the more she struggled. Her joints were locked and her limbs kept close to her body, making it impossible for her to fight or flight.
Theseus was attacked by Xergov the Dullahan who brought with him a squad of Blood Witches. Undead couldn't stand the light of day so he attacked from the safety of his house through a dimensional opening.
The Dullahan shapeshifted into his real form, that of a Nidhogg, a lesser Leviathan, and hurled a river of corrosive acid on the feet of the Bastet. The liquid ate at Theseus' feet and soaked the land, cutting him off from the world energy.
Any attempt to absorb the energy and nutrients from the ground would also carry with them the Nidhogg's acidic breath, spreading poison throughout Theseus' body. The undead representative had been listening to Senara the whole time and had prepared accordingly.
From the safety of his home, Xergov had servants move his head, following the Bastet's every move while his body focused solely on weaving two spells at the same time.
The Firbolg used her personal tier five Spirit Spell, Doom Vines, to conjure hexa-elemental infused living plants that crawled on the Griffon, searching for cracks and opening into his armor before plunging into his flesh. freewēbnoveℓ.com
