3169 Puppet Master (Part 1)

Derek swung his blade in a wide arc to keep the Chroniclers away, making his mediocre swordsmanship evident. The elves dodged but didn't exploit the blatant opening, thinking it another trap.

'What if Verhen really is amnesiac?' Tarell asked after no clever tactic followed the amateurish swing.

'What if it's just a ruse and you die?' Q'porr rebuked him. 'Verhen just used twenty tier five spells. How could he do it if he had no memory?' _{freewēbnoveℓ.com}

Her reasoning was correct. Regular spell-holding rings could only store one spell so Lith wasn't supposed to have access to more than ten.

Yet it was also wrong. By mixing the runes retrieved from the Odi and Golden Griffon, Lith and Solus had found a way to craft magic-holding rings capable of storing two spells each.

It was something they hadn't shared with anyone but their closest friends, making even the World Tree oblivious about their innovation.

Derek cursed his weakness and unleashed a barrage of tier one spells, leaving the Chroniclers aghast. Even a simple student uniform was more than enough to neutralize such weak spells.

Even worse, there was no strategy or reason behind them.

'How could such a moron kill so many of our friends?' Tam'sfil said in outrage. 'I say that our intel is correct. Stop overthinking and cover my back!'

Before Q'porr could order him to stop, the Chronicler lunged at Derek with the skill he had polished through the millennia. Everyone expected him to die in a gruesome and unexpected way but that didn't happen.

His spear slipped past Derek's awkward guard and impaled him through the chest. Elves had the bloodline ability to imbue their spells inside their equipment akin to an extra enchantment so the blade carried more than the Davross it was made of.

The tier four darkness spell, Death Mist, was released straight inside the Void's body and the Voidwalker armor. Tam'sfil used the armor's gravity sheath as a containment field to focus his spell's destructive power.

Derek screamed in pain, feeling the life force he had painstakingly collected dissipate, and tried to get a hold of the wooden haft to suck it dry.

Tam'sfil, however, was quicker. He pulled the blade out and slashed diagonally as he retreated. He knew that Abominations had no vitals so there was no point sticking close to Lith.

The polearm left a shallow gash that went from the right breastplate to the left pauldron, spreading more darkness inside Derek's body and weakening him further.

'That's it?' Q'porr couldn't believe her own eyes. 'This is no ruse. Verhen has lost his memory. We've played ourselves this whole time. Attack!'

The elves spread out, adjusting the grip on their weapons and leaving Derek the space of one breath before they jumped at him from every direction.

In that breath, Ragnar?k forced the Full Guard enchantment of the Voidwalker armor active, spreading a violet light for over 30 meters (100') around the Abomination.
