Dana looked over at the spectacle in Karl's section of the battlefield with concern. There was a lot of flashing golden light over there, and they were beginning to pull undead from other regions toward themselves.
"What is he doing over there?" Tessa shouted so the flying mage could hear her.
"I have no clue. If I had to hazard a guess, I would say he invented holy hand grenades. It's just explosions of holy light constantly." Dana called back.
Thor laughed at the thought. Holy Hand Grenades sounded like a lot of fun.
Tessa shook her head in dismay. "Well, if that's an item and not a skill, I will insist that he shares it. But we're almost done with the undead in our zone, and the unholy magic from the portal is beginning to wane."
As soon as the words were out of her mouth, Tessa had a premonition. The magic wasn't just to keep the army powered, it was a built-in failsafe.
[Everyone, we have a mission timer on this battle. We need every undead eliminated before that mana from the portal runs out. It's a trap.] She informed the group.
If she were wrong, then she would apologize for alarming them.
Well, if anyone asked her to. Remi and Rae were currently making bets on who could kill a massive number of Undead the fastest. Giving them a timer was just a motivation to compete with each other.
Even Thor joined the fun. [Karl, bring up a Bulwark, I'm sweeping your direction.]
Karl saw what Thor was thinking as the behemoth charged through the undead with a wide wall of magical ice in front of him.
Karl created his own wall of ice, then charged toward the massive beast and his red robed rider.
Tessa was standing on Thor's back, brunette hair flying in the wind, having escaped her usual braid, and marshalling the demonic armies to follow behind them.
The barrier would fail on impact, and some of the Undead were likely to be alive after.
Karl coated the entire wall in front of him with [Void Blast] set to detonate on impact. The idea was simple, the undead would be crushed between the two walls, and the spell would detonate like a bullet down a barrel.
It wouldn't harm the barriers, but it wouldn't bypass them either, creating a magical pressure cooker for the Skeleton Knights.
