1559 Chapter 1387: Clash 2
On the other side,
"The battle has begun."
Vandal raised his arms high. His eyes were surging in excitement and craze. He clenched his fists and even his ice-cold body was as though heated up once again. He lowered his gaze. Countless Undead Creatures. Skeleton Soldiers assembled neatly in rows while Death Knights and Skeleton Guards stood by their far ends and rear. The Skeletal Trolls stood among them and shoulders were full of Ghouls and Skeleton Archers with their large crossbows aiming forward. On the other hand, the hills were filled with Gargoyles and Soul Griffins while Vampires waited in silence below them.
However, their scarlet, dazzling eyes showed their eagerness to strike.
"This will be the start of our glory! From now onward, darkness will fall and take over every corner of this continent. The dead will be resurrected and we will gain supreme honor! Everything is for the sake of the Dali Kingdom. We will make mortals taste the true meaning of death and bow down to the Undead forever! This supreme honor will be offered to our mighty majesty. He shall lead us to victory!"
Vandal swung his arm. The spiritual flames in his eyes pulsed intensely.
"Attack!"
The Necromancers stood in their positions hurriedly in a perfect circle with the summoning stone in their middle. Then, they chanted curses in unison and magical powers flowed through the ritual circle beneath their feet. As their chants became louder, the ten furnaces around them reacted. Magma spurted wildly into flame columns and thick sulfuric air exuded from within. The powerful magical energy captured the worthy creatures to be brought into this world and created a channel for them. Shortly after, they entered the widely opened doors to this world…
"———!"
Along with an ear-deafening screech, the peak of the flame columns erupted and spread in all directions to form an enormous, burning 'cloud'. Then, the 'cloud' headed toward the indistinct fortress that was illuminated by the bright moon. As the cloud soared forward, the layer of snow on the ground melted and evaporated into white mist while the ice-cold soil softened. Shortly after, the magma overflowed from the furnaces and engulfed everything. They twisted, gathered, and transformed into the shape of a wild animal.
The burning 'cloud' charged ahead.
'They're here.'
Alex gazed at the exceptionally glaring scarlet cloud in the distant dark sky, where the ground beneath lit up like in conflagration.
That was neither a cloud nor forest fire.
The flames in the air formed the shape of an enormous bird flapping its wings while its three, dazzling long tails streaked across the sky. The ravaging flame creatures on the ground darted across the snowy field, melted everything in their path, and revealed the ghastly pitch-black soil.
"W-What's that!"
Many soldiers screamed in horror and were at their wits' end. Alex's brow twitched after watching their reactions and shook his head slightly. But this was the reaction he had expected.
"Master."
An apathetic voice sounded and he recognized it immediately. A blue haired beauty with sharp ears like that of an elf had arrived. She was with her subordinates, a small minority called the Blue Elves, specialized in the water magic.
They stepped to the front end of the city wall and even though the soldiers didn't know what they were up to, they quickly made space for them.
"We're ready."
"I know."
Alex nodded. He stretched out his right hand and shortly after, his mana was drained and a complex magic circle appeared before them.
[Mystical Key activation: Silver Ocean]
"———!"
"What happened?"
The soldiers heard sounds that resembled waves crashing the shore and looked over the city walls. Shortly after, they witnessed the moat receding like the tide as though they were attracted by a force. Then, the receded water spurted.
Boom!
The spurted water created a barrier over the city walls while chilly air spread to form a thin layer of frost. Waves threshed continuously and crystal-like wild beasts leaped out from within. They snarled and extended their claws. Not only that, but there was also a school of translucent, elegant Batfishes hovering above. They flapped their fins and their thin, shining tails were as though beautiful masterpieces under the bright radiance of the moon.
"Oh my goodness…"
Fred murmured under his breath and clutched his sword hilt blankly. Even though he had been guessing what Alex relied on to resist the Undead Army, he finally realized that the situation was beyond his wildest imaginations. He felt as though he was in a legendary, fantasy story right now.
But this wasn't the end.
Grrrr!
The Phantom Beasts lifted their heads and let out menacing growls.
Their body became even clearer and larger. In the blink of an eye, the wolf-sized Phantom Beasts became as huge and tough as rhinoceroses. Not only that, but razor-sharp ice thorns also extended from their shoulders. In midair, the transparent Batfishes were now equipped with thicker ice armor. Their beautiful long tail had extended by more than two-meters while the sharp, dazzling ice edges on their tails let off an ice-cold radiance. On the other hand, the Blue Elves became taller, took up the shape of the standard Elves with beautiful ornament adorning their bodies. Not only that, but their hair also became smoother and silkier and the constantly moving tentacles looked as though seaweed swaying in the sea.
Alex looked ahead and gave a short command.
"Attack."
At the next moment, the scorching sea of flames and silver-whitish waves clashed heavily.
Water versus fire. The perfect counterattack.
The soldiers above the city walls were completely stunned.
They stared blankly at the scenes in the air and on the ground that were filled with steam and chilly mist. Bright flares flashed from time to time and loud explosions were heard.
"Miss Mila."
Alex wasn't in the mood to admire this beautiful scene.
"How's the situation?
"We don't have a chance yet."
"Hehehe."
Alex twitched his brow and let out a grunt.
"Don't worry. I shall see how long they can hold back."
He extended his arm and along with his movements, his mana was consumerd and the waves that were as tall as the city walls extended once again. Then, tens of thousands more water elemental creatures emerged and joined in the battle.
