Chapter 2107 The True Enemy (Part 1)
Manastorm created a barrage of emerald falling stars that the light and earth elements made as hard as diamond, fire and darkness boosted their destructive power, while water and air increased their maneuverability and speed.
All together, the six elements also generated a gravitational field that amplified the weight of each bullet one hundred fold.
Lith had no way out but to use Spirit Blink. The spell moved him at the Fenrir's back, right where she expected him to appear.
'What a moron.' She thought while looking at the still-opening exit point. 'I need but a thought to adjust Manastorm's trajectory while I rip his th-'
An electromagnetically accelerated bullet from Thundercrash pierced her eye and reached Xoola's brain one second before the boom of the shot reached her ears. Manastorm faded and her body fell limp, but without her consciousness, Doom Tide could no longer be contained.
'Such a stupid move had to be the signal.' Phloria thought. 'The question is what now?'
Lith plunged the twin blades inside the Fenrir's open maw and had his armor slip off him and onto her, using the combined effect of hundreds of Abomination Touch to contain the explosion in case something went wrong.
The groups of Demons still on the ground were forming an array as Xoola had feared, but it was a Warping Formation. The moment Lith had Blinked, he had ordered them to activate the array and move the helpless Fenrir high in the sky above Zehnma.
Doom Tide released the accumulated energy in a blast visible from space but there was nothing it could damage. Also, it was right above Phloria's position, far away enough to not be a threat but close enough to be an easy target.
'You know that you are insane, right?' Phloria asked via a mind link as soon as Lith Switched place with Trion, wearing the armor and wielding War.
'Less yapping, more casting.' He completed the final rune for Ruin at the same time Phloria finished weaving Omnislash.
Feeling the world energy and the army of Demons all around her, Xoola used Invigoration to recover her strength and Mana Body to keep the Abominations' touch from killing her.
She was too busy stopping the small pests from entering her open mouth and wounds to notice the incoming blast.
Ruin's red blades and Omnislash's white pillar cut through the Adamant and vaporized the flesh, piercing through her barriers and bloodline abilities like they were paper.
Without their general imparting them orders, the Forgotten kept fighting like machines and lost due to their inability to adapt to the enemy's switch of battle formations.
To make matters worse for the defending army, Doom Tide's explosion had overcharged the Demons, bringing them all to six eyes.
Outnumbered by the enemies in front of them and overpowered by those at their back, the army protecting Zehnma was quickly wiped out.
Until a few minutes ago, the citizens would have stood up and fought alongside those they considered their liberators from the tyranny of the Royals. After hearing Xoola gambling with their lives, however, they weren't so certain about what to believe anymore.
Their heroes had just threatened to destroy Zehnma whereas their oppressors had risked their lives to defend the city. People were too afraid and confused to move a muscle so they hid in their homes and waited for the storm to pass.
"Nice work, Commander Ernas. We won." Lith hung War to his hip and offered her his hand.
