Chapter 3094 Time Out (Part 2)
Raging Sun was comprised of fire and earth elements while Stormnado of air and darkness.
They were powerful alone but much stronger when combined. The air fanned the flames of the explosion and carried the flaming rocks while also imbuing them with darkness element.
Knowing there was no escape, Lith simply Switched his position with that of an Adamant Golem. The construct took the volley of spells in full, the metal of his body twisted and broken by the violence of the concussive blasts.
"Seriously, thanks." Lith cut the misshapen Golem asunder with Double Edge, destroying its core. "I couldn't have done it without you."
The other constructs had no pride that his mockery could wound but the same couldn't be said for the people inside the fortress.
"Fuck! An Adamant Golem gone! Just like that. Do any of you morons have any idea how much it costs to make one?" The first black-clad figure said. "This ends now or our master will have our heads.
"These materials weren't supposed to be wasted in pointless battles."
'I have an idea.' Strider said after admiring Lith's handiwork. 'Let's turn their numbers against them. Solus, after me. Ryka, after Solus!'
The Zouwu activated his bloodline ability, Flash Steps, releasing a bolt of lightning from his tail that coursed through his body and granted him unparalleled speed. Instead of fighting against the enemies, now he merely passed between them.
His twin curved blades were supercharged as well, making them as fast as deadly. Most humans died with a single cut of his swords, their heads severed or their hearts pierced. Some survived either by luck or skill but Strider didn't care.
He just moved on to the next line of enemies.
Golems would only get grazed by the Adamant covering his claws but the Clean Slate they contained worked just the same. The constructs stuttered for a split second, disrupting their battle formation and creating the openings Solus needed.
"Hammer time!" With her bright blue core, she was the slowest member of the group, but far from the less deadly.
The ferromagnetic spears conjured by Lord of Thunder nailed the Rock Golems into place, giving Ryka the time to break through their weakened bodies and shatter their cores.
'Guys, I need help!' Strider said.
The Dread Knights were still slower than him but after realising the threat he posed, they had focused their attention on him. There were dozens of them charging at the Zouwu from every direction and with flawless coordination.
He couldn't block the charge of the galloping horses, the gap in mass and strength was too big. Strider could only dodge and the Dread Knights knew that. Even though they couldn't kill him yet, they were forcing him to move into a kill box.
With each passage they came closer to him, the wind blades coating their spears cutting deep enough in his armor to shed blood. His inhuman speed and precise movements allowed him to survive but there was no space to counter.
The charge of a Dread Knight left a vacuum in his wake that messed up with Strider's tempo, either increasing or reducing the air resistance around him. Someone moving at his speed needed perfect timing and coordination between his steps.
The focus that the Zouwu needed to compensate for the vacuum's effect was quickly turning the tides of the battle against him.
'How long for that Blade Spell?' Ryka asked while an Adamant Golem hit her with so much strength to unravel all the vines of her body.
It also injected enough darkness magic inside of her to make half of the vines shrivel.
'It has been less than ten seconds from the start of the fight! Do you have any idea how hard it is to harmonize multiple power cores with your mana core while fighting for your life?' The charging Dread Knights couldn't stop the Tiamat but they could wound him.
The Golems ignored his kicks and tried to cling to him to inject their darkness aura while the Beasts and the humans cast countless frost spells that affected Lith's strength. Cold was a weakness of Dragons that the Tiamat bloodline had inherited.
'Close your eyes and don't breathe!' The enemies kept their distance from Solus, afraid of her hammer as much as of the shockwaves it produced even when it missed its target.
It gave her time to cast another tier four Void Magic spell, Frost Fire.
