2151 Big Guns (Part 1)
The moment the darkness sealing array activated, the chains connecting the Void with the Nemesis Demons shattered. They still had the energy he had stored inside their bodies but without the chains, they had no longer access to his abilities.
All Lith's notions about modern magic, Light Mastery, and Forgemastery faded like fog under the sun, making the conjured equipment of the Demons crumble along with their teamwork.
The members of the Council and the Royal Guards quickly dispatched of their respective opponents, turning to help Faluel.
Each one of her seven heads had cast a tier five spell but they were all frozen in the space between the Abomination and the Hydra as they wrestled for control. Faluel had experience on her side but the black tendrils sucked her strength and kept slamming her against the ground.
It was a mere battle of Domination, but what everyone saw were seven elemental beams coming out of the Abomination's eyes fighting against those emitted by the Hydra's heads.
On the other side of the room, after Call of the Void had been dispelled, Sylpha had discovered that her opponent wasn't Lith but Tiennon Zavra. The second Lost Magus of Balkor's generation had never left the Royal palace after his death and had jumped at the opportunity to get his revenge.
A normal person would have shivered at the sight of the Lost Magus now wielding Lith's semi-sentient blade but to the Queen it just meant that she had no reason to hold back anymore.
"Enough!" She deflected War with one hand while releasing a pulse of golden light from the other. It killed the Demon so quickly that Zavra didn't even manage to curse at her one last time.
Then Sylpha trapped War inside a Sealed Space to keep it from returning to Lith and activated the seven magical gemstones on the Saefel Blade, tipping the scale to Faluel's advantage.
The seven spells hit the Abomination, each one meant to weaken and restrict him, not kill.
Light and earth formed a straitjacket that Spirit Magic made harder than a diamond. Bolts of lightning coursed through the construct, inducing spasms. Darkness sapped his strength while frost slowed his movements and fire made the air too hot to breathe, sealing his breathing techniques.
The darkness Lith's body was made of ignored the electricity, the cold, and the heat. He roared a jet stream of Void Flames, uncaring for the damage his lung took while also hitting the Council representatives with a mix of heat rays and hard light constructs.
Alas, he was one against many.
Each one of his opponents was stronger than him and Kamila still held his equipment. A collective Spirit Barrier easily blocked the Cursed Flames and Saefel's Blade overpowered the Light Mastery spells, turning them against the Abomination.
"Stop hurting him!" Now that there was no more risk of friendly fire, Kamila stepped in front of Lith to protect him from the Council and them from him.
"We would if he stopped lashing out like a rabid beast." Feela said in exasperation. "Can you convince him to revert to his human form?"
The moment Solus and Kamila had gotten closer, the Void had ceased his attacks to not risk hurting them. Yet at the same time, he was focusing his strength against the restraints to break them.
"I can try." Kamila nodded before turning around and kneeling next to him. "Lith?" fɾēewebnσveℓ.com
"Kami?" His voice was weak and slurred as if he had just woken up from a deep slumber.
