2882 Merging Flames (Part 2)
Confused, the monsters attacked the unknown enemies in droves, strong of their numbers. Soon it was evident that the elementals could be hurt by physical and magical attacks and bloodline abilities.
Yet they could also heal by feeding off the energy of their prey. Their size dwindled when under assault from the monsters and swelled when the titans counterattacked, trapping more enemies inside the sphere hidden deep inside their bodies.
Lith had no idea what he had done nor did anyone else. Raagu and Inxialot turned their heads toward the giants and so did everyone else. The fight slowed down a beat and for a second the Black Tide stopped advancing.
'Fuck me sideways, are those some kind of Abominations?' Lith could see with life vision that the elementals carried his and Tista's life force.
The sphere inside their bodies acted like a mana core, providing them with a constant stream of flawed mana. The red titan lacked the water element while the crystal giant was unable to process the fire element, making their opposite go on a rampage.
The monsters stored inside the True Flames elemental quickly turned into desiccated mummies that burned into ashes while those inside the Frozen Flames elemental became ice statues that collapsed under their own weight.
Both cores needed to constantly be supplied with fresh materials, the slightest delay had dramatic effects on the size and strength of the elementals.
Then, the two titans locked eyes and hatred replaced hunger. One shivering in cold while the other burning with fever, they saw each other as a thief who had stolen from them their most precious treasure.
The elementals ignored the monsters swarming them and charged at one another with a deafening roar. Their bodies grew in size the closer they got, their respective scraps gave their nemesis relief from the hunger and fueled their might.
When the two titans locked arms, their limbs merged and their cores were drawn together. The elementals fused into a pillar of fire and ice that conjured strong air currents before fading into nothingness.
With the elemental balance restored, the life force stored inside the titans was released and their corrupted cores had no longer a reason to exist. Their existences born in the clangor of battle and ended in awed silence.
Raagu exploited the monsters' hesitation to take a deep breath with Invigoration and escape from the enclosing encirclement. Inxialot repaired all the damage that his Dread Knights had taken and conjured Spirit Spells to buy them some space.
The Lich King had no care for himself. Any monster that struck him became his food, giving Inxialot more mana for his spells.
Ilthin bit her own finger, marking the mutated black Warg with her blood so that she would always know their position, no matter how deep they hid themselves behind the monster's ranks.
Solus used the Furies' Flight to rescue Bodya. Eight hammers opened the path toward the orc shaman while the original Fury took his life. The moment the earth element was once again under the Nidhogg's control, Bodya buried his aggressors alive and resumed his onslaught.
The only problem was that Solus was now surrounded from every side. With no geyser and away from her allies, she couldn't afford a slugfest. A single monster could do little damage to her, but every hit she took would chip her strength.
'If I take the sky, those things with the long necks will shoot me down. If I stay here, one of the black Warg will reach me and I'm no Ilthin. I have only one way out of this.' Upon her telepathic command, Raptor dived down and the ground rippled at his passage.
Claws, teeth, and spells hit empty air as she plunged underground. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com
