I transformed half the ether I had into hundred thick needles and poured the lightning mana into them turning them bright red.The army of earl coslen had their attention divided between the hellish attacks coming from the sky and frontal assault from earl simon’s forces.They had only two choices, first to retreat which was not allowed and standing in one place made them perfect target therefore they scattered throughout the battlefield transforming into different types of intelligent beasts and charged toward the incoming army.It would be quite troublesome to hit them when they mix with the enemy forces thus this ether attack would be the last long ranged attack I will do before targeting my enemies.I had the power to annihilate whole army of earl coslen but I would leave that part to earl simon’s forces and when both sides has weakened considerably, I would take neutral position killing both of them at once.If everything goes according to plan, I will have almost 1,000 medium ra
It wasn’t hard to deduce what was the content inside beast core from merlin’s previous statement, because the only thing capable of destroying the barrier surrounding us would be Aura bombs and fairly stronger one at that.Both demons had a frightful expression on their faces as the Aura bombs exploded few meter away from their location with a defining sound.BOOMMMM!With merlin’s will, half the ether I had preserved left my hand and covered my entire body absorbing the brunt of aura but the same couldn’t be said for those two demons who took the head on damage from Aura bomb of an Aura master while their mana supply were restricted.The aura sealed inside the aura bombs belonged to Aura master Jabel whom I had fought inside the dimension pocket.It was sealed inside my body as I was unable to control it unless I have merged with a beast core compatible with aura but it didn’t imply that I cannot use it some other way.Soon after the blast both Anti mana barrier and Rebound barrier s
‘It’s about time we finish this mission.’ I said and flew toward the central battlefield as I observed the act Earl Coslen was putting up as if he was seriously fighting but he was saving quite a lot of his strength for god knows why.From afar I could see that the central battlefield was nothing unlike it was before, there was barely anything left of it.The ground has almost disappeared and was replaced with Lava Rivers and black icicle slabs, where earl simon and his son stood while his general stayed in the far back missing one hand and having claw marks everywhere on his demon body.The area around 3 kilometers of earl simon and Coslen has turned into literal hell as it was evident that multiple rank 8 and above spell has been used here.“I thought you would have finished things here by now.” I spoke in a casual tone holding chained blades in both hands arriving beside earl simon.“Have you… huff… dealt with others?” Earl simon asked huffing while earl Coslen examined me in his h
I muttered and a series of lightning rained down on earl Coslen his fiery shield tried to protect him but few attacks which were imbued with divine attributes penetrated his defenses injuring and countering his regeneration. The lightning had extinguished the black flames around us, limiting his option of hiding but soon a Ice shield appeared above his head which was soon broken due to continuous barrage of lightning. “What are you trying to do Earl simon?” Instead of answering he fired multiple ice spikes in my direction trying to weaken my concentration but was instead met with an overwhelming number of lightning counter strikes. [Lightning Sparks] A series of non threatening light particles appeared inside the lightning domain and both earl distanced themselves away from them. With the snap of my finger, one after another the lightning sparks blew up creating a blinding light and screeching sound robbing all three opponents of their senses. [Divine verdict] I casted the over
‘Why is he contacting us now, I think you have your first mission merlin.’ I said as I landed on the ground a few kilometers away from the city in sight. Sensing me halt, the slime demon who was ahead of me stopped in his tracks but I sent him a mental message telling him to wait for me near city gates as I needed to answer an important call. Standing atop the thick branch of an unknown tree, I spread my soul force in my surroundings and confirming that nobody was near my location, I accepted the call of silent reaper. "Good evening, Mr. Lightning emperor, I hope you are doing well." He asked me politely. "I have been better, why have you called me?" Merlin said taking control over the body, trying to show displeasure because of how our last exchange ended up due to demon princess interference. “It seems you haven’t forgiven us for our lack of hospitality last time and that is understandable, you also know her real identity, and must understand how difficult it is for us to restra
“You don’t have to worry about that, we are not sending you alone, there will also be a transcended magic swordsman accompanying you, whose primary responsibility will be to clear the path for the party and protect you.” Silent reaper said.‘Transcended magic swordsman, someone who has surpassed rank 12, must be one of the upper echelon leaders.’ I deduced.“Is it you?” Merlin asked.“No, but you can rest assured, in his presence, the shadow empress won't be able to touch even a strand of your hair.” Silent reaper replied.‘It is him.’ I said to merlin because my ability to distinguish truth and lie was just triggered.“And should i just take your word for it and risk my life, anyway visiting the dragon’s lair could be tempting for any rune master but the risk of this mission is too high and it would only create problems for me in the future, I will have to decline your mission.” Merlin declined but my ability confirmed that he was telling a lie and was interested in the mission.‘I t
‘I understand his facial expressions are weird but what do you mean by not having a good feeling about it?’ I asked Merlin as I descended a few meters away from the slime demon but the next moment the demon ran toward me staggering as I prepared myself to defend.‘No need.’ I heard Merlin's voice and soon understood his meaning as a slime demon fell on both his knees and slammed his head on the hard floor.‘What the fu…’ I instinctively backed away but the demon didn’t flinch from his place and soon his body started to become all wiggly like a slime while also trying to maintain its demonic form.‘That is the sign of him not being able to control his emotions.’ I heard Merlin's voice and wondered why.I was about to tell him to get up and explain himself but I heard a shout from the edge of the city wall.“Hey, you two there, what are you doing?” My vision shifted to the two demon guards patrolling at the edge of the wall approaching our location carrying a sword in their hands.Not w
‘Deal with the nuisance you have attracted.’ I sent a mental message to Luther the slime demon and he started to hurriedly comply with my order, moving the high ranking officials brutally by unleashing his soul force while not harming simple bystanders.It didn’t take even a minute and an attendant standing near the carriage ran toward us to guide us.‘We are ready to move my lord.’ I heard Luther's message and nodded.The attendant guided us towards the extravagant carriage and we both boarded the carriage while our guide took the driving seat.The 6 meter long and wide carriage which could barely accommodate two people was nowhere to be seen because the carriage from inside was engraved with various runes expanding its insides to easily accommodate six people comfortably.Luther snapped his fingers, and I felt the carriage move but its movements didn’t create any vibration or discomfort.“It would take us half an hour to reach the teleportation gate my lord.” Luther said and I nodde
