The colossal Vurdalak‘s hand was ?lled to the brim with the darkness element that Night's crystal conjured and ampli?ed. Upon impact, the darkness would spread like a wave and kill everyone in the entire city block.
Lith and Solus tried to Blink away, but Orpal's soldiers had cast a second Sealed Space they had kept at the ready the moment the Dead King had yelled the code word.
‘This is impossible!‘ Solus said. 'You didn't get your giant form until you reached the violet core and Orpal is still deep blue. Also, there's something wrong with his energy signature. It's him yet is not at the same time.‘
Without the blinding arrays Solus had now the means to unravel the Dead King's plan, but it was too late.
The appearance of the colossal Vurdalak had drawn the attention of the entire city and Lith had no way to bring Kamila and Elina to safety before Orpal's attack struck. He and Solus could easily escape, his Demons would survive, but the explosion of darkness magic would kill any regular human in its vicinity.
To make matters worse, Thralls and assassins were swarming the place, keeping Trion and Locrias from ?ying away with their respective mark.
'It doesn't matter, Solus. But thank you for everything.‘
The Vurdalak roared his fury as the punch crashed through the roof of the Heavenly Wolf tavem and the darkness element swallowed the entire city block. The simple movement produced a gale so strong that houses creaked and people were sent ?ying.
Yet the living black bolt produced wind, but no thunder.
The impact was silent and the wave of darkness that accompanied it faded like fog under the midday sun that shone over Lutia.
Only the ground ?oor of the restaurant was left. The roof was broken and the walls had been blasted away by the shockwave. freeweɓnøvel.com
What the citizens of Lutia saw was Lith's extended right arm that stood millimeters away from the Vurdalak's. One was small, the other a giant. Their limbs didn't even touch yet the open hand blocked the ?st as if they were just playing r0ck—paper-scissors.
Orpal roared and attacked again, just for his left cross to be de?ected by Lith with a simple slap of his hand.
Even though his form was compressed, his mass was still the same.
To nullify the impact Lith only needed to combine gravity fusion to alter the direction of the gravitational pull and spirit magic to create a Cushion.
As for the darkness element, Orpal produced it and Lith Dominated it,
making it harmless.
It was an amazing feat. Something unthinkable. Something that even a kid could understand no human could achieve.
"How? How can you be this strong?“ Despite his might and size Orpal's voice still sounded like a spoiled brat throwing a tantrum.
"They are not human! Neither of them is!" A woman said pointing at the two brothers.
Her voice boomed like thunder in the dreadful silence that surrounded the restaurant.
The Thralls took it as their cue and dispelled the Sealed Space that blocked the transmission of the recording devices while the Vurdalak conjured a tier ?ve spell that Lith couldn't avoid.
Not without losing two of the most important people in his life.
He shapeshifted as well, assuming his Tiamat form and staring at the Vurdalak in the eyes. He gripped the enemy's wrists, twisting them away from their target and sending the spell ?ying high in the sky.
On the other hand, their bodies were non—Awakened and the roughly mixed—up body of theirs couldn't compare with the perfect body re?nement of the Tiamat in front of them.
Hundreds of kilometers away, where the real Opal was, he screamed in agony as his head burned into a crisp again and his hands turned into a bloody mess. Lith had underestimated the effect of Night's Double Body ability.
Orpal didn't just experience the pain of his Chosen who he inhabited,
but he also shared their wounds.
The colossal clone bellowed and hit with the razor-sharp crystals that grew out of the stumps, but they shattered against the Voidwalker armor without leaving a scratch on it.
Down on the ground, however, things weren't going as well. Solus'
Sage Staff was useless without world energy and her body was quickly running out of juice. Trion had no weapon and wasn't used to being a Demon.
Locrias was the one faring the best, but even he had trouble ?ghting unarmed against so many opponents while also protecting Kamila.
‘We need to shatter the Sealed Space spells if we want to win.’ Solus said to the two Demons while de?ecting the blades aimed at Elina with her staff. ‘Once we get rid of them, l can give you weapons, call for reinforcements, anything.‘
She groaned as her body grew weaker and frustration followed every successful block. She would have loved to counterattack, but without her, Elina would die.
‘I already lost the woman I called Mom once. Never again!’
Trion heard her thoughts and felt even more ashamed for how he had treated his family while he was still alive. He had always taken their love for granted, desperately trying to keep Orpal‘s instead.
