Chapter 2102 Plans Coming Together (Part 4)
The Fenrir was dragged in the sky for several kilometers until Omnislash was too distant from its caster to keep its cohesion and exploded.
The light generated by the dying Blade Spell blinded everyone who was looking directly at the blast while the shockwave it produced made whole city blocks quake despite the distance and the arrays muffling its power.
Xoola survived only thanks to fusion magic boosting her colossal body, her Adamant armor, and her bloodline ability, Mana Body, that had made her fur nigh-impenetrable.
'Shit, if that thing hit me directly instead of bursting through the enchanted doors first, I would be already dead. No one told me that the Council had someone besides Verhen who can use Blade Tier spells.
'I can't give them the time to prepare another or I'm dead.' The Fenrir dispelled Mana Body to weave her spells and used Invigoration to heal while flying toward Phloria as fast as she could.
"Inbound Divine Beast, I need backup." Unfortunately for Xoola, the Commander of the Awakened corps was well aware of her own limits. "My Emperor Beasts are already busy dealing with Thrud's heavyweights and I have no one who can handle someone of that size."
"Copy that." Feela the Behemoth replied from hundreds of kilometers away. "We don't have a seven-man unit of violet cores available to Annihilate it. How long does it take you to fire another shot of Omnislash?"
"Too long." Phloria had already recovered her mana with Invigoration and was double casting thanks to the Mouth of Menadion, but Reaver needed two minutes to fully charge whereas she had seconds at most.
"Lith?" The Beast representative asked.
"On my way." From the broom closet, Lith took one final breath of Invigoration before releasing Raptor and Trouble from his pocket dimension.
Zehnma's dimensional sealing arrays were still in place, but his omni pocket only required him to expend a spark of life force to release what it stored in a burst of emerald flames.
There was no need for words or explanations. The Spirit Crystals in their chests were in synch with their master's thoughts and learned everything that had happened during their absence as Lith's mana brought them to full charge.
The two Golems reduced their size to that of a human and rushed toward the office of the city lord to intercept the Forgotten before they could leave the building.
At the same time, two floors below, Tista was fighting for her life.
Linnea had blocked the air blades with the same barrier she had used to repel the first wave of Demons of the Fallen and then she had broken it into countless razor-sharp fragments.
Part of the emerald blades spun around her at high speed in a whirlwind, using their edge to tear apart whoever came in too close and their flat side to intercept spells and projectiles alike.
The Headmistress' mastery over body casting was still amateurish due to having learned Thrud's method instead of creating her own. The Mad Queen was more skilled and powerful than Linnea had ever been so what was easy for Thrud to grasp was a conundrum for her less talented apprentices.
The best Linnea could do was to use the cover from the conjured protection to weave spells with her mind and fake magic, relying on body casting solely to weave a few easy runes here and there.
Tista, however, fared much worse. The physical and magical gap between a bright blue and a deep violet core more than compensated for Linnea's lack of experience as an Awakened.
The Red Demon had managed to hold her ground only thanks to Solus reading Linnea's spell with the Eyes while they were cast, predicting their trajectory, and the Demons of the Fallen piling up on the Headmistress.
