2796 A Trick of Two (Part 2)

The weak point that every living being had but they usually ignored because only an Awakened could find it.

"Just how?" The Dullahan's head turned into ashes with the question on his lips but the Void ignored it and turned around to help Solus.

'What the fuck?' The black chains had also struck her opponents but they seemed to be useless.

At least until she was forced to lower the Spirit Barrier and face the Banshee and the Mage Slayer in close-quarter combat again.

The Full Guard spell imbued in her armor gave Solus full spatial awareness, but there was no point knowing the movements of her enemies if her body couldn't follow them.

Now, however, she could see thanks to Full Guard where every part of the undead's body was and, in her mind, where they would be. Solus could see which movements were just feints and which were meant to strike.

She could even see how either undead would react in case their respective blows would connect or be blocked or dodged.

It was akin to seeing the future flash in front of her eyes.

The flow of information came from the mind link she shared with her steed and Solus chose to trust the Void. Her hammer moved to intercept the Mage Slayer's blade before it started to move as she cast a Hush Zone to neutralize the Shattered Soul that she knew was incoming.

Zamor was taken by surprise, the hit so heavy that if not for his experience, the Fury would have shattered his blade and with it his life. Jima the Banshee had charged in after unleashing her bloodline ability, certain that it would have created an opening.

Shattered Soul did create an opening, but for Solus. The Hush Zone cancelled the scream and the Banshee had her guard down whereas Solus held her hands up.

Jima was now defenseless against the Plague Arrows that Solus conjured via body casting. Darkness was slow, but the Golden Knight placed the spells along Jima's trajectory, making the Banshee run into them on her own.

Jima stumbled and fell, her strength abandoning her. Solus tried to finish her off but the Mage Slayer moved to protect his weakened comrade.

'How?' He wondered in confusion. 'How can an amateur suddenly be capable of predicting my most refined techniques?'

The answer to the Dullahan's' and the Mage Slayer's question was the same.

While in the golem's body, the Void lacked the connection with his souls and the mana organs necessary to conjure Demons. Yet the Spirit Crystal carried enough of Lith's pure mana and life force to conjure the black chains.

Undead were predators and the older they were, the more victims they had preyed upon. It also meant more souls following them. Souls who had haunted their murderers for years, if not centuries, and who were glad to share their knowledge with the Void.

A long life meant acquiring habits and patterns. Any veteran knew that a winning strategy had to be refined and perfected, never discarded. The souls had seen the undead training and fighting countless times, memorizing those patterns.
