3000 Hidden Thorn (Part 2)

Maergron had kept his minions hidden from mystical senses under the cover of the abundant world energy of the inner garden and ready to ambush the invaders.

Half of the undead's bodies were intact while the other half was comprised of the Redcap's vines. This way, their blood cores would constantly gain new strength by feeding on the vines while the vines sapped the world energy of the Garden.

It created a loop that granted unlimited power to the blood cores and allowed the vines to tap into the Garden without overloading. With no more delay, Maergron could control the undead with his mind and pass them his spells at a moment's notice.

At the same time, he tapped into the starred sky above the temple to borrow the elemental energies and shape them into spells of untold power.

Air and water magic conjured a frozen tornado from above the Shadow Dragon while fire and earth shook the ground with a quake that swamped her in magma. The undead and vines carried the Redcap's energy signature and were immune to the natural disasters.

As for Bytra, Maergron sent half of his troops against her and exploited her apparent weakness. The trail of lightning made her path predictable so he cast an air-sealing array and set several tier five spells that would activate upon her passage.

Zoreth shook as the cold storm pushed her down and quenched her inner fire. Air blades the size of a tank cut deep into her Bookwyrm armor, piercing through her scales.

The thick Adamant and its enchantments were nothing compared to the power accumulated over time by the Garden. Xenagrosh's wounds reached the bones and crippled her arms while the quake took away her footing and burned her flesh.

"Nice try and thank you for the snack!" The combined assault of spells and defensive arrays would have killed the Shadow Dragon if not for her troll side healing her wounds the moment they started to open.

The chunks of flesh reattached themselves without the need of a healing spell. The blood gushing from her wounds weakened the incoming spells and dissolved the undead upon contact.

Her Eldritch side, instead, fed upon the abundant surrounding world energy, giving Xenagrosh the nourishment she needed to not be hindered by the regeneration process.

A sweep of her Sky Piercer claw shredded the magical formations and tore the elemental energy of the spells from Maergron's mana, forcing the Redcap to consume part of the Garden's power to keep from disappearing.

The undead, or rather, the snack, further fueled Xenagrosh's onslaught. A blood core was a powerful mass of life force and darkness magic kept in perfect balance and Zoreth needed but a touch to feed upon them both.

Her troll half was the bane of undead because it could endlessly absorb darkness to counter the Decay element while her Eldritch half was the bane of the living, needing the light of life force to quench the Chaos element.

The Shadow Dragon's clawed hand harvested dozens of undead at a time, dropping them in her mouth like popcorn. Their numbers meant nothing. Their physical strength meant nothing.

The moment they touched her, the red light of undead in their eyes flickered and the vines that animated their bodies wilted.
