'If only I were bigger, I could stop everything by myself.' He thought. 'With the exception of Spirit and anti-Guardian spells, of course. Mage Slayers couldn't feed on darkness element and all spells that carried them.
Hexa-elemental Spirit and Silverwing's spells were beyond Mage Slayers and would inflict on them more damage than the nourishment they brought. Still, Lormont could neutralize everything else, even arrays, and turn their power against their original caster. The Firstborn Draugr opened a crater upon impact with the ground, draining the life out of it as its size grew to over ten meters (33) tall, quickly followed by the Firstborn Grendel.
The two undead were resistant to all kinds of damage and drew the arrows of the elves along with their blood, buying the other Firstborns the time to converge on them. "Keep attacking! Don't give them time to recover!" Vladion stood in front of the Grendel as he assumed human form to cast the anti-Guardian spell.
Full-red blood cores were more powerful than bright violet cores so their spell was large and lasted enough to engulf a Wood Golem without leaving anything for it to regenerate from.
What was left of the Annihilation blew a second Golem into smithereens but it instantly started to reform.
"Good job." The Red Mother nodded. "Keep it up like that."
Killing the backup Golem meant that their unit couldn't switch anymore. It was enough to wound one of them to keep the rest from casting anti-Guardian spells and neutralize the only threat they posed to a mage tower.
Alas, relieving the pressure on the decoy team didn't help Lith or Valtak one bit.
Now that the Chroniclers had turned into Wooden Puppets and were no longer hindered by pain or wounds, they managed to push Zoreth back as well. Each Golem was taller, heavier, and stronger than her.
Her only remaining advantage was her twin cores, which didn't help much in a brawl, especially since her priority was protecting the Father of Fire. Chroniclers had bright violet cores and with the aid of a Wood Golem, each one of them was stronger than a Divine Beast.
The Puppets attacked Xenagrosh from every side, uncaring of her Chaos Spells and Sky Piercer. Howling Void opened wide holes while the Dragon's claw cut deep, but even if they found the Puppet. hidden inside the construct, they couldn't deal a fatal wound. The Golems focused on the attack, generating extra sets of limbs that turned into axes, spears, and shields. They had no qualms about killing the Shadow Dragon. Xenagrosh
was an Eldritch and her death would anger solely the Organization that the Yggdrasill already considered a mortal enemy.
The other hybrids were too busy holding the line on their side of the battlefield to help Zoreth. Gentor hated leaving Valtak's side, but he knew that if the Shadow Dragon fell, they would be forced to retreat to the safe area and the Tree would have more Golems to send after Lith.
When the next volley of Tower Tier spell rained from the sky, Gentor and the Golden Dragons he had left Blinked in front of Xenagrosh and took the brunt of the attack. They were sent flying, but they were still alive and their wounds could be healed, if only they had the time to draw one breath of Invigoration.
If only.
The Wyrms coughed mouthfuls of blood, their broken ribs had pierced their lungs and sealed their breathing technique. Valtak healed them while also activating his bloodline ability, Primal Spark.
The former allowed the Golden Dragons to breathe while the latter transformed the tier four spells of his Fire Dragons into raging Primordial Flames that pushed the Golems back and broke their formation.
It also cost the Father of Fire another spark of his life force, making him dizzy and blurring his vision.
