[You have experienced a glimpse of the usage of tamagic.]
Samiel got one ssage from the Akashic Records as he fought, slashed, resurrected, froze to death, or otherwise killed Monstrous Spiders and Ettercaps in tens without any pause or stop. He really enjoyed this; he had countless things to kill as he bathed in their blood, surrounded by corpses of his enemies; his ice weapons were completed crimson red from the blood of countless Monstrous Spiders and Ettercaps.
He was completely drenched in the blood of the Monstrous Spiders and Ettercaps, as he often licked his lips, tasting the blood from killed foes. The blood of the Monstrous Spiders and Ettercaps tasted weird... at best.
His proficiency in everything was increasing with trendous speed as he fought like a demon on the battlefield. Of course, the best way for soone to grow was on the battlefield, through the baptism of steel and blood.
"This has no end..."
Samie cursed as he froze to death two huge Monstrous Spiders that crawled from under the walls and attacked him with their claws, probably wanting to eat him. He only frowned at their stupidity, but that was to be expected; neither Monstrous Spiders nor Ettercaps were smart.
"Stupid creatures... don't you know you can't eat anything Outer without paying an ultimate price."
He then stopped as he looked at the last ssage from the Akashic Records about tamagic usage. Essential aspects of the tamagic were Spell Control, Combat Casting, Empower Spell, Maximize Spell, Spell Penetration, Silent Spell, and Spontaneous Casting or Multi-Cast.
Mastering just one of these skills would put the Spell Caster on a whole new level compared to those who didn't, as his combat prowess would be drastically increased. With Spell Control, one could achieve unheard control over the spell, or with Combat Casting, one can cast spells during combat without any problem.
What Samiel was performing was basically a primitive form of Combat Casting, as nobody cast spells like him during the combat because it was pretty dangerous. One small mistake in the spell model calculations and the spell model would explode and probably kill the caster.
Mastering so tamagic Skills was sothing that created a division line between average magic users and those of the elite. Of course, those geniuses could master even several aspects of the tamagic, and those in myths and legends could achieve even greater things and completely comprehend tamagic with all of its aspects.
"Samiel, the west gate!"
Shouted Sarun at him, as Samiel imdiately recalled back his undeads and ran towards the western gate. The western gate was located relatively far from his current position as he jumped above a few Monstrous Spiders and Ettercaps, which were all beheaded by the ice sword he was holding.
At the sa ti, during the path there, he killed a few Ettercaps and Monstrous Spiders that managed to find their way to the walls.
Even though the Monstrous Spiders and Ettercaps had an overwhelming nurical advantage on their side, they didn't manage to breach the walls or any gates; just a few hundreds of them that were lucky to survive the onslaught of the defenses managed to climb the walls and fight their defenders, but those were swiftly disposed of.
Thus the horde changed the tactics, which was a surprise and just confird Yvraine's suspicion that Drider was present here and was controlling the spider magical beast horde to test the waters of the Zephystrand City.
After he arrived at the western gate, he could see a ferocious attack on the western gate by the hordes of Monstrous Spiders and Ettercaps. What was notable, though, was most of these spiders were even five ters tall, and countless of them were at the Bronze-Tier.
Samiel instantly released his undeads, 240 of them. All of them reached Bronze-Tier, as he was constantly catching the souls of the killed Monstrous Spiders and Ettercaps and feeding those souls to his Undead to increase their Level, which finally paid off as a small army of 240 Bronze-Tier undead attacked the Monstrous Spiders and Ettercaps.
At the sa ti, Samiel ran to the gate and searched for sothing. His eyes quickly screen through the entire battlefield, as countless magical beasts were being blasted to bits or shot down with an arrow; he searched for his target.
"I have you."
He said mainly to himself as he located a slightly bigger Ettercap, which was at the peak of the Bronze-Tier and had different skin color compared to the other Ettercaps. Samiel knew that he had found the right one based on its different looks.
Samiel ca to the conclusion that this must be so mutated one, which allowed it to better coordinate other Ettercaps, who in turn were controlling the Monstrous Spiders.
When he noticed several runes and magic symbols on the skin of the big Ettercap, he knew that it was not natural evolution that created this big guy, but rather so sort of blessing from the Spider Goddess Lolth.
When the battle started, and Yvraine ntioned Driders, he noticed one thing. Even despite the Ettercaps were pretty intelligent, as far as a dumb monster like them could be intelligent, they were too organized.
This magical beast horde employed tactics that were not sothing even Ettercaps could pull out. With such tactics, strategy and timings, and targets they chose, it was like soone with a superior intellect was controlling them from the shadows.
Suddenly, he jumped down from the walls and landed in mids of hundreds of Monstrous Spiders and Ettercaps that looked at him with hungry gazes, and not even a second later, they all rushed at him.
"I can finally lose it..."
He creepy laughed before enormous frost burst out with his body, tangled with the bits of the Eldritch Aura of Outer Gods, as he rushed at the incoming monsters and magical beasts, as he used [Winter Ruler] to its full power, freezing everything in his sight.
In several seconds several hundred Monstrous Spiders and Ettercaps in his vicinity were turned into ice sculptures as they were frozen to the bone. Samiel looked around him, as he could see even more Monstrous Spiders and Ettercaps coming his way; he grinned before he spread his arms as tens of Ice Spears materialized around him.
Ironically, because he froze a huge number of magical beasts and a considerable part of the land, he created a mini frost zone, which basically made his usage of [Winter Ruler] several tis easier as he shot tens of Ice Spear towards the incoming Monstrous Spiders and Ettercaps, killing everyone whom the spears pierced.
As they fell down, Samiel smiled as all ice spears exploded into thousands of ice shards, as they destroyed at least 25% of the Magical Beasts in the vicinity. Without his own realization, he beca pretty destructive, and this power unleashed by him was sothing that even peak Bronze-Tiers would be proud of.
He then looked at the Big Ettercap, who was observing the battlefield and especially the battle at the western gate, with a great amount of fear that soone managed to slaughter so many of his kin as Samiel kicked into the ground and shot towards the Big Ettercap.
He dodged incoming Monstrous Spiders and Ettercaps as he jumped on their heads and soon, within five minutes, arrived in front of Big Ettercap as he slashed with materialized ice sword at the Big Ettercap.
To Samiel's surprise, the Big Ettercap was able to swiftly react and block the incoming attack as he counterattacked with his right claw at Samiel. He dropped the ice sword as he dodged the incoming attack and stabbed the Big Ettercap in his stomach with an ice dagger.
Imdiately after that, he used [Winter Rule] to start freezing the Big Ettercap from the inside, as it slowly but steadily froze him to death. Killing this big mutated Ettercap was his priority which would greatly affect the entire siege and end the fight much sooner with much better results for the defenders.
The effects were imdiate, as the mont when Samiel killed the Big Ettercap, all other Ettercaps suddenly beca confused and didn't know what to do, and soon enough, the relatively orderly attacks of the spider Magical Horde beca disorganized and chaotical as hell.
As Samiel thought of killing this mutated Ettercap, the entire chain of command these guys had was destroyed, as other Ettecaps didn't have the power to control such a massive number of Monstrous Spiders, not even the strategic mind.
'Or maybe this one had so ntal connection with Drider or was possessed by him.'
Samiel, though, as he stored the corpse of the killed Ettercap in his dinsional storage, as it could still be put to so use. Especially when dealing with Drows, one could never be cautious enough, as they were a cunning and treacherous bunch.
Drows were not usually problematic to deal with because of their strength, but mostly because they were cunning cowards who would have several backup plans and were shaless to the top as long as they achieved their goals.
He then looked at the Ettercaps and Monstrous Spiders that were all around him, revealing a toothy grin as he griped his ice sword and rushed at the nearest Ettercap, rushing past it and slashing through the neck of peak Steel-Tier Ettercap.
Instantly after that, he summoned all of his Undeads to his location, and they started tearing through the battlefield. The sight of more than 200 Bronze-Tier Undeads was extrely fearso, especially considering that the entire Magical Beast Horde had no more than 300 Bronze-Tiers in it, and many of them were already killed and resurrected as Samiel's Undead.
anwhile, Samiel continued slashing, hacking, casting so curses of Void Magic Spells, slaughtering the Monstrous Spiders and Ettercaps by hundreds; even though he was Steel-Tier and not even later ends, his combat prowess was far higher than average Bronze-Tier Monstrous Spider and Ettercaps.
So these poor Magical Beasts and Monsters didn't have any ans to defend or fight back and were just lambs waiting to be slaughtered. From the far walls, the City Guards could see with frightened expressions how one man was holding down an entire area of thousands of Magical Beasts on his own.
Even Samiel's Undeads were killing machines, killing hundreds of Iron-Tier and Steel-Tier Monstrous Spiders with each passing minute; due to that, not a single one of them managed to pass into the western gate of the Zephystrand City.
