Chapter 2123 Foolish Genius (Part 1)
By combining the enchantments and the mass of the golem with the brains and the shared bloodline abilities of her Chosen, Night had managed to grant to the most fanatic among her followers the power of an Awakened Emperor Beast.
On top of that, the light element filling the air was healing their wounds as fast as the self-repair system of the golems repaired them. Night had never used the constructs in battle because they could only be used for a few minutes at a time.
Without a recharge pod, they would turn into useless junk the moment they ran out of energy. To make matters worse, both golem and Chosen required a prism each, taking away part of her power and inflicting upon her all the damage they would suffer.
"I'll admit that your sister isn't dumb, but she isn't smart either." Xenagrosh laughed as she turned into a human sized Shadow Dragon, spreading her wings to harvest as much energy as she could.
Night's plan had been to fill the air with so much light element that it would neutralize both the Chaos of the Abomination's spells and that of their skin that generated the Abomination Touch.
Yet she had failed to take hybrids into account. The reason their black core exceeded the limits of an Eldritch was that their monster core balanced the destructive effects that conjuring too much Chaos caused.
It could be said that the only thing capping a hybrid's power was the amount of Chaos the second core could safely neutralize. The light element around them had no effect on the bottomless hunger of the black core but its effects cumulated with that of the monster core.
Xenagrosh was now free to push her black core further than ever while also giving her life force the opportunity to experience and adapt to her new heightened state.
The golems weighed a few tons, but Xenagrosh's real form was much heavier, and compared to her mass, they were as light as children. She needed but one hand to capture a golem and slam it against the floor to keep it from escaping.
"Are these guys someone you know?" The Shadow Dragon asked with a grunt.
The two prisms were emitting massive amounts of darkness element that after coming into contact with her Abomination Touch turned into Chaos. It caused Xenagrosh great pain and forced her to constantly regenerate her hands.
On top of that, the undead were unleashing several tier five spells from the Golems and more that they kept at the ready. Holding the Chosen still without killing them would have been nigh-impossible if not for the Dragon's superior mass and bloodline abilities.
She kept taking deep breaths that turned into bursts of light violet Origin Flames that she emitted from her body, using them as a protection against the spells. They would still hit Xenagrosh, but their destructive power was reduced enough for her troll half to heal her wounds before they could fully open.
"No." Dusk shook his head while studying her prisoners with Life Vision. "They look young and their blood core can't be more than a few decades old. Yet since they are Night's Chosen, they should know what we are look-"
Before the Horseman could complete the sentence, the Shadow Dragon released one Howling Void from each of her hands, aiming for the prisms protruding from the constructs.
The Chaos spells were quickly weakened by the overabundant light element in the air, but from point-blank range, they had all the power they needed. The prisms, the stone, and the enchanted metal simply disappeared along with the undead they contained, leaving behind a cloud of fine dust.
