Rynra Throne
'Piece by piece, they are taking my horde,' I thought as I looked at things getting worse from bad.
It didn't happen suddenly, it was slow, and it's why, I failed to notice it.
Especially when many of my powerhouses surrendered instead of getting killed. Such things happened much less in a direct battle because of pressure and support.
Here, every unit is independent, and I couldn't direct them unless I break my skill.
I need to do sothing quickly, and there is only one thing I can do, and that is to kill the elder blood.
It's the only way, I could win this battle, but it's far from easy. I had been using my most powerful spells on the bastard, but he was defending against all.
If one looked at him, light now; they would see he was near defeat with his body burned and blackened and him not using over a certain amount of energy.
He is in such a state for over half an hour.
Earlier, I had mistakenly thought, he was close to defeat, but he was able to defend against my every spell.
That doesn't an, he couldn't be defeated. He will be defeated; I will defeat him.
With that thought, I cast my strongest spell.
Ivory Reaver.
I cast, and imdiately a layer of bones covered my sword. The spell looks like a regular Grade I Bone Cover, but it is not.
It is not flashy like many of my attacks, but it is powerful and lasts long.
I moved toward him with speed skills and activated Mass of Hamr and Suppressing Blade.
It was already a powerful attack, and it beca even more powerful with enhancents from the skills.
I have full confidence if the elder-blood had used his square defensive thod. My Blade would be able to cleave through it.
The Elder Blood seed to have sensed the power of my attack as his expression turned heavy.
He brought out bronze energy and covered his halberd with it. The energy he had brought was greater than he had in the past hour.
He understood the power of the attack, but that didn't an he would be able to defend against it, even with more elder energy.
Clang!
My sword clashed against his halberd, and his eyes went wide. A mont later, blood ca out of his mouth, and he started to take a step back.
Seeing that, a smile appeared on my face, and I moved forward with all the speed Knight's Blitz could provide
and even cast Haste to make myself fast.
I need to be fast and quick.
He reacted fast despite moving back and brought his halberd forward in defense.
Clang!
My sword clashed against his halberd, sending him back again with more blood coming out of his mouth.
I moved for another attack and even cast Diasas's Lightning on my sword.
It is hard to cast, two powerful spells together. Also, have skills and spells like Haste and Mana Harvest active.
Clang!
He defended again, with lightning covering my sword, moving to his halberd before covering his body.
The bronze energy ca energy and resisted, but not fully as lightning began to attack him while he took a step back.

Clang!
I didn't stop even for a mont, and once again cast Diasas's Lightning.
Clang Clang Clang!
My attacks landed on him one after another, tearing through his body, that even not his face was spared.
Even the good part of my skin begins to disappear as my attack assaults him, but what I am hoping isn't happening.
The bastard is defending well. Moved his halberd to stop my every attack.
I am faster than him, stronger than him, but he is stopping my attacks, despite getting injured.
He is good and experienced, but still, if a normal person had been in his place. They would have died by now, but he is still standing.
This is the resiliency of the elder-blood.
The giants are the most resilient among all elder races and these descendants of their had gained that ability.
I still rember the sheer number of spells. I have to throw at the elder blood, I had fought before I was able to kill her.
I will kill him, too, the sa way.
He might be resilient, but he could be killed. I did it before and I will do it again.
"Surrender elder-blood, you are at the limit. You won't be able to last for much longer," I said as I attacked again. He defended and grinned at
with a burned face.
"It seed like, you too are reaching the limit. Even with the mana from the undead, you won't be able to throw such spells forever," he replied.
I glared at the bastard and attacked with even greater fury.
He is right, the spells aren't without a cost. I have potions, but those are not used unless it is an ergency.
It is why, I desperately want to win this battle. These bastards have a lot of such potions, and I want them.
I want the legacy.
It would help
a lot with my condition if I defeated them here and conquered the Greltheaven.
I will be called back to the island, where the real challenge is.
Clang Clang Clang!
I kept attacking without stopping, but the bastard kept defending.
As ti passes; a welco change begins to occur. The bronze energy that used to cover him densely now has ford only a thin layer around him.
He is at his end; his reserves are nearly depleted.
A few seconds passed and whatever bronze energy covering him had disappeared.
Leaving him without any protection.
Clang!
My sword clashed against his halberd, and the lightning moved toward him. Seeing that, a smile couldn't help but appear on my face.
"Ahhhhhh!"
He scread as the lightning covered him, and began to tear through his body.
If a normal person had been at his place. He would have fallen dead already, but the bastard is alive despite screaming and even moving his halberd forward to defend against my attack.
'Victory is near!' I thought as I moved my sword with another attack.
…
Stone
"Ahhhh…"
I scread in pain as the dark lightning covered
and tore through every inch of my body.
The lightning is powerful. It had chard
from head to toe, drilling inside . Attacking my blood is the thing that is keeping
alive.
The elder blood power in my blood is resisting hard. It is the reason I am still standing, when all the energy, I had been spent.
This woman had turned out to be more powerful than the intelligence about her had stated.
I had seen many of the people of order fight but on her level. She is the best. The spells she has, and the way she lds them with skills and forges them in her combat style, are truly amazing.
I fear such enemies from the bottom of my heart.
It was really smart to be cautious against her. It had helped
survive this long, but surviving further is in doubt.
My elder blood is resisting, but it has put it under a heavy strain and even burning it.
Forcing it to harness more power from deep within it. Still, not every drop of elder blood is bringing out the power from deep within them.
So couldn't. Those are getting burned like my skin had.
Clang!
I defended another of her attacks, and more dark lightning covered
when still from the earlier spell covering.
I scread louder, while the faint blood fog covering
beca denser.
It is blood that is burning.
I am in extre pain, and my very blood is burning. Giving
such weakness that I wanted to let go, but I could not.
My n are trusting
with their lives; the people of the city are waiting to be rescued.
As I thought of reasons, the face of the woman appeared in front of .
She is the greatest reason, I can not die.
So, I bore her attack even when she burned every part of
from hairs to nailed skin to my very blood.
I kept fighting her.
Seconds passed and anger in her eyes. She used that in her attack, channeling it to strengthen her attacks, but never letting it out of her control.
Clang!
I defended once again, and lightning covered . Going even deeper, reaching to my very bones.
I could see it was affecting them, while the elder power present in them fought back.
It is fighting back, but a lot of it is burning. Only those who kept harnessing more and more power are alive.
I am alive right now, but won't be forever. I don't have to survive forever; I need to last longer than her. The way, she is using the spells, she won't be able to last long.
"You are the most frustrating enemy I have ever fought. It will be a big milestone to kill you!" she said and launched another attack.
I defended while vomiting the blood, which burned away by lightning. Like the blood coming out of my orifices are burning.
The more blood ca out, the weaker, I was getting, but I was fighting.
There is no other choice than that. Giving up ans death and I don't want to die. If it had been a few months ago, I might have, but not now.
I will not die. I will survive.
I have survived far, worse, and I will survive this too, no matter what happens.
Hun!
Seconds passed, and her attacks kept coming when suddenly a frown appeared on her face.
I had also noticed it, and it brought a small smile to my face.
'I might be able to survive,' I thought, but a second later, that smile vanished.
I turned to the enemy with fear as she attacked
with her most powerful attack yet. It feels so powerful, I fear it might be the attack, that finishes
off.
