3007 Blindsided (Part 1)
Maergron cursed his bad luck, with the Raiju coming like a missile from his back and the Zouwu in front of him, there was no way to dodge. He split his body into vines and his armor into its components, escaping from the jaws of defeat.
On the one hand, Strider was forced to dodge Bytra's charge as well, relieving the pressure on the Redcap. On the other hand, not only did Strider need a single step to avoid the living projectile, but Maergron was forced to expose his Root in the process.
'There it is!' Azhom Blinked right in front of the target while the rest of the group shot their spells with the largest area of effect.
The vines shuffled in a rush, hiding the Root from the Lich's deadly touch and her Rot Claw. Darkness magic was slow but from so up close and with Maergron's body still reforming, it didn't matter much. freёweɓnovel.com
The spell created a condensed fog in an area big enough to engulf the Redcap without affecting her companions.
Maergron cursed, unleashing upon the Lich the tier five Phoenix Smash he had prepared to kill the Zouwu. Emerald Flames burned at the Lich's body and mana, foiling the Blink she had conjured to escape.
The dimensional spell burned as well and exploded in her face. Azhom shrieked as what was left of her mortal body was incinerated by the Spirit spell. It couldn't kill her, but even a Lich wouldn't forget that kind of pain easily.
"Azhom!" Rhuta pretended to be worried, hoping to fool the enemy into believing that the Lich was gone.
The Ears showed Maergron the blood core moving to the surface so he didn't buy the act nor the fake outrage that followed.
The Naga unleashed a flurry of his six weapons while also conjuring his best spells against the Redcap.
'If I can't match him with quality and speed, I must make up for it with quantity.' Unanna thought.
He was too weak to fight Maergron alone but with Bytra and Strider covering for him, he could fight on par with the bright violet core until his mana ran dry. Then he had to recover with Invigoration, rinse and repeat.
Rhuta kept himself at a distance, his fastest and most destructive spells at the ready while waiting for the Root to be exposed again. His chances of success were minimal but it gave the Redcap one more thing to worry about.
'I don't get it.' He thought. 'I can go on like this until I run out of blood whereas if they make one mistake, I can destroy them like I did with the Lich. What are they hoping to achieve?'
The answer to his question kept themselves out of the fight.
Lith used Demon Grasp to conjure, Locrias, Valia, Trion, and Varegrave with six eyes each. He shared with them the plan and how to safely exploit the endless stream of world energy of the Garden.
He didn't give them a body to possess so that even if they failed to control the power of the Garden, Valia and Varegrave wouldn't lose their corpses.
At the same time, Solus conjured the tier four Void Magic spell, Rising Storm. Part of the floor of the Garden's tenth floor broke down, either turning into a muddy substance that Solus manipulated to hinder the Redcap or into small thunderclouds.
