Chapter 68: Torched Body

"Oh no..." I could see a couple of mages casting spells and collaborating with each other. "I don't feel so good about this. Everyone, retreat! We need to regroup!"

"Impossible!" The king spoke on the other side. "Gathering our two allied kingdoms will be difficult. It'll take them a week to get here!"

"At least try it! Send a messenger now!" The mages in the distance are forming several layers of magical circles in the air while their main soldiers, melee and ranged are moving towards us at quick speeds. "GAIA! Come to the front!"

Gaia roared loudly and slowly walked to the front.

"Barrier!" I put a defensive skill on Gaia. "Gaia, enter a defensive stance!"

The mages started firing their skills. A barrage of fire, lightning, earth elements came our way but Gaia is taking every damage. He still have a lot of HP left.

"Gaia, stay there! And everyone, finish everything here. I'll be charging in!"

"Wai-"

I cut the Telepathy off and I couldn't even know who said that. "Control... Control..." I flew to the location of the army marching towards Itz using the maximum speed I can manage.

"Argh!" I was hit by a spell. "Where is it coming from?" Again and again. "I'll just take it all!" I then charged in to them even though they are spamming heavy hitting spells.

"He's fast!" One of the mages said. "Use binding spells!"

"Binding Light, Slowness, Lightning Stun, Sleep, Poison, Durability Decrease, Disarm, Blind, Holy Ray, Flight Cancel!" All the mage's spells all directed at me limiting my movements and attacks.

"Now, offensive spells!" What I assume is the leader said to his people.

"Fireball, Thunderbolt, Smite, Water Surge, Homing Arrows, Magic Javelin, Lava Surge, Spike Pierce, Floating Sword, Light Pierce!"

"LAST... STAND!" Since my HP is below 60%, I can only be immune for 20 seconds. Bit it's enough to dispel their binding and crowd control spells and deflect all of their offensive spells. "You'll all be my source of strength." I then emitted strong force of bloodlust and evil aura from my newly acquired skill. All of them backed off out of fear.

"Soul Homage!" I buffed my scythe. "Judgement!" All of the mages were smashed into the ground. They couldn't speak nor move. "Soul Drag!" All of them suddenly were sucked into the miniature black hole. And after three seconds of casting that ability, all of them were grouped up in a mountain of bodies. And as for my final attack, "HELL FLAME!"

All the mages couldn't speak nor move. They were just burnt alive without saying anything. "Smells like burnt barbeque."

"I'm immune to heat right? Hmm... Flesh Eater Ring!" I absorbed all their blood then released it all again to douse my body with blood. "Fire Totem!" I then attacked myself with it."

[Gazer Form dispelled.]

"It's powerful but... I can't use any weapon and armor other than these skills. An-..." I felt a burning sensation in my whole body flowing. "AGH! DISPEL FORM!" The flames dissipated from my body. I fell down to the ground next to the dead bodies. "That is really damaging... And I can only use it for one minute using Hell Flames... It's a new powerup and I think it's kinda worth it." I looked around and the blood that enveloped my body was burned with the Torched Body skill. "Maybe there's a time where I can use this item even more. Flesh Eater Ring!" The ring ate up all the blood that was in the vicinity.

"Gazer Form!" I then flew into the air and looked at the status of the battlefield. "Our units aren't holding on very much. We're pretty outnumbered." And I flew back to back to search the whole area if there's anymore troops incoming. Their magician troops are basically gone. But the sheer number of their melee and archer troops are insanely high and is double our current troops.

"Are you kidding me." I look at the distance and saw 50 people that had the same thing as I have. "The arrowheads... They're players. This is going to get even more difficult."
