Solus focused on regenerating the Skinwalker armor, turning the vaporized metal back into its liquid state.
The Orichalcum droplets rained on Lith’s body from every side, piercing through everything that stood on their path until the armor was whole again.
The silvery storm of small blades further distracted Dawn and allowed Lith to unleash upon her three tier five spells at the same time. Tidal Bolt was a mix of water and air magic that bypassed Dawn’s constructs and drowned her in a highly conductive tsunami.
The saltwater seeped through every crack of the crystal armor and into every orifice of Acala’s body, allowing the lightning bolts that circled around the wave like a school of sharks to always hit their target.
Tidal Bolt not only damaged Acala inside and outside, but also induced powerful spasms that prevented the enemy from casting spells. At the same time, Lith conjured Setting Sun from his right hand and Dark Ages from the left.
A black sphere made of fire and darkness formed in his hand and split into two beams that struck Acala’s head and heart at the same time, burning them to cinders. Dark Ages, instead, synergized with Tidal Bolt and added darkness magic to the mix.
The final result was an electrified spear of black water the size of a truck that struck at Dawn’s crystal the moment Acala’s body had gone limp, without giving her the time to conjure any kind of defense.
Lith had learned from the Black Star that a cursed object was more vulnerable as long as they were connected to their host. Just like it happened to Solus and him, any wound the host received would badly affect the relic’s mental state and drain its energy.
’Once she detaches from Acala’s body, Dawn will become nigh indestructible. This time I have no access to her blueprints so I have no idea how to permanently destroy her. I can only contain Dawn until the army gets here. After that, it’s their problem.’ He thought.
Solus didn’t share his optimism and kept an eye on the situation as a whole.
’I’m almost done repairing the artifact originated from my fusion with the Skinwalker armor and Lith is still in great condition. The world energy from the geyser made him capable of conjuring many powerful spells at the same time and of withstanding their burden.
’Yet I’m afraid that he is in a no different condition from his equipment. Lith’s body is not meant to harness that kind of power. The pseudo tower I’ve enveloped him with can relieve him only from a part of the stress... Dodge!’
A telepathic yell was nothing like a real one. It didn’t hurt Lith’s ears or mind, nor was a generic warning. Solus’s yell was akin to a game’s quick-time event that projected in front of Lith’s eyes the direction he was prompted to move to and the source of the danger.
Lith dashed downward, using gravity magic to further boost his speed and managing to dodge the hail of light spears that had materialized behind his back.
’What the fuck?’ Solus and Lith thought in unison. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com
’Treius died once I decapitated him. Heck, even most undead can’t survive without their head and heart. Acala was a human, there’s no way he’s still alive.’ Lith thought while staring at the corpse that was getting back on its feet.
’This doesn’t make sense. I’m sure to not have missed any movement in both Acala’s and Dawn’s mana flow.’ Solus couldn’t find an explanation for the light constructs that had formed out of thin air and were currently giving them chase.
’By my maker! Even during our three-pronged attack, Dawn kept enough focus to control the lingering energy from her previous spell. These constructs are simple that very same light element rearranged into a different form.’
