2795 A Trick of Two (Part 1)
The hoofed feet of the Vagrash turned into taloned toes and the tail was detached from the body, turning into a proper blade.
"I'm just like you, wearing a corpse coated with metal. I don't need organs to survive." The Void answered the Dullahan's silent question as his lipless maw formed a smile. "But wait. There's more."
Black chains burst out from the Spirit Crystal on his chest but instead of providing the Demons with power or conjuring more, the chains struck at the undead. The Dullahan and the others froze for a second in surprise but when nothing happened, they resumed the offensive.
The Void has bought me enough time to shrug off the effects of the Banshee's scream but I'm still fucked,' Solus unleashed one of the tier five spells she had at the ready just for the undead to counter it with their own.
Darkness countered darkness while the Mage Slayer fed on the remaining element, becoming even stronger. Solus' core was weaker than the undead's, her body was slower, and they were two against one.
To make matters worse, only a blade master could turn into a Mage Slayer.
Zamor had honed his skills through the centuries whereas she was a novice. Solus had regained her human body for less than one year and she liked to spend her free time experiencing life, not training.
If only I could use body casting to weave spells above tier three, this would go much differently!" Her body was strong and one hit of the Fury would have been enough to kill any undead, but they were both meaningless if she missed her target.
The Mage Slayer failed to find an opening in Solus' Voidwalker armor so he played it smart. He used his superior technique to wrap his blade around the hammer and keep it at a safe distance, using those movements to cast spells.
Whenever his blade and the hammer touched, he released a bolt of lightning that froze the Golden Knight long enough for the Banshee to strike. If the lunge managed to pass through her guard, he released a focused pulse of darkness magic.
Solus could counter it with the Spirit Barrier of her armor, but even then, some of the darkness would slip past it and attack her body. Due to the darkness' element ethereal body. Due to the darkness' element ethereal nature, only a dense mass of energy or matter could stop its advance.
I can't keep the barrier always active or the armor will run out of power. Same if I make it too thick. Solus cursed as Jima unleashed another of her screams at the same time when Zoma's blade sent a bolt of lightning through her arm.
"If I get it by the Shattered Soul, I'll be a fish in a barrel.' Her only option was to activate the Spirit Barrier again, blocking the scream and pushing the Mage Slayer away.
The problem was that the move bought her time, but she was still surrounded. The two undead just kept at the fringes of the emerald ward and bombarded it respectively with darkness magic and a flurry of attacks that conjured as many spells.
The Dullahan was heavily armored, especially his head since it was his weak point. The helmet alone was comprised of 10 kilograms (22 pounds) of Adamant but it was as light as a (22 pounds) of Adamant but it was as light as a feather to the elder undead's blood core. freewebnovel.cσ๓
