Chapter 2042 First Blood (Part 2)

The Seven Headed Dragon had recovered from the damage Lith had inflicted him with the Frozen Flames for a while, but had kept himself out of the battle to better study the Tiamat's spells with his Dragon Eyes.

Now that he had a clear grasp of Lith's abilities and reaction time, he had moved for the kill. Manastorm covered an area too big to avoid it with Blink and even if Lith managed to evade the onslaught, the willpower-imbued bullets would have chased him.

With no other option, Lith activated the Spirit Barrier of his armor, but the violence of the countless impacts sent him off his intended trajectory.

Ufyl grinned as he got closer, unleashing both Final Eclipse and Plague Storm.

"Show me how to defend against these spells, kid. The army of the True Queen accepts all contributions, no matter how small." He said with a laugh.

Lith flipped him off in reply, adjusting his fall so as to land near his tail. Reattaching a limb would have taken much less energy and time than growing a new one from scratch.

"Oh, no you don't!" Three of Ufyl's mouths unleashed as many bursts of Origin Flames.

The columns of fire twisted and turned, combining into a single fiery vortex that surrounded the black flames of the Final Eclipse so that the two attacks would strike at the barrier without canceling each other.

'I bet that Iata has taught this guy Light Mastery and based on how he's taunting me, he must have Dragon Eyes. Everything I use can and will be used against me. I can't let Thrud's army learn more of my spells.

'I have to stick to the basics and play it smart.' Lith conjured a tier three Light Mastery spell that produced a powerful beam of light aimed at the Dragon's point of impact on the barrier.

"Foolish and unimaginative! That trick is pointless." Ufyl said with a scoff, but Lith begged to differ.

The beam of light was crushed by the combined power of the Final Eclipse and the Origin Flames, but it still clashed with them with enough strength to work as a thruster and accelerate Lith's descent.

He landed far off from his tail with the grace of a meteor, but thanks to his none of Ufyl's attacks had reached him. Lith stood up, using light fusion to stop the bleeding while he hid behind a hill for cover.

"You can do that with Light Mastery? Good to know." The Dragon used the Tiamat's same strategy to accelerate further and don't let him out of the range of Life Vision long enough to Warp.

'Wait a second, the area in front of Belius is supposed to be flatlands. I don't remember any hill on the maps.' Ufyl thought a second too late.

"Kill him!" Colonel Varegrave said the moment the Divine Beast was in firing range.

A hail of tier five spell based on the water and air element cast by the mages of the battalion shot the Dragon off the sky. The cold sapped his strength and slowed him down, while bolts of lightning made his limbs spasm and air blades tore his wings.

A single spell could only dent a Dragon's scales but so many together could open deep wounds. The problem was that they still lacked the strength necessary to kill a 25 meters (82') tall titan covered in heavily enchanted Adamant.
