They were fifty kiloters from Windere's border walls. Not the city, the country.
That would be a tough fight. Not only they had a God on their side, causing the army's morale to beco suicidally fanatical, but they also had a God on their side. I would pull no stops on this one. Everything and the kitchen sink I'd throw on them. I felt a wall break as I flew faster than the sound barrier. Nephele wasn't lying. I was flying ten tis faster. Given that I had double to all movent and a needletail swift flew at a hundred klicks normally, I dove at a speed close to Mach two.
I touched down in the middle of the army, diving into the ground. I took so damage from breaking through the grass but earth and stone were like water to my deep eleon's perk.
Inside the ground, I dumped a million MP into {Spread Blight} and turned on the Manastorm without the cleansing feature. As I prepared to surface, I shifted into a mighty dire jaguar but kept my snake tail with the rattle. Finally, I assud my ice elental form and returned to the surface with my ice aura at full throttle.
With {Polyfonic Voice}, I used both {Keening} and {Wail of the Banshee} through my rattle. Without wasting a single mont, I dove into the scattered ranks and started to claw head and limb alike, abusing {Vorpal Claws} whenever I got a critical hit. With them stunned by the wail, it was a given. I aid for the priests first as they had the power to dispel my blight.
With my violent assault and four damage auras active, the soldiers started to die within minutes. The first ones to go were the hybrid or low-level spellcasters without {Pinnacle of Magic}. The Manastorm burned them from inside out.
"WRETCHED ABOMINATION! FIGHT !" Bundeus bellowed. His avatar was three ters tall and clad in a Roman toga. his sword was too big for his own good.
I paid him no mind as I decimated his army. The Exp was negligible without stacking bonuses but that required precise manipulation and focus I couldn't spare. Pouncing between groups of people, spreading more blight, and removing the priests was my main focus.
Instead, I led Bundeus in a reverse cat-and-mouse ga as I went away from him but into his army's clusters. The soldiers were making it easy for . With a fanatic's drive, they rushed toward , sparing the trouble of chasing away stragglers.
My MP and SP went only to spreading more blight. The damage was small but it ticked every second and would remain where it was until cleansed. Plus, it healed . Extra regeneration was never bad.
The soldiers were from several countries. I think the churches of Bundeus pooled their recruiting efforts. They were strong but not elite by any ans. But this many combatants with whatever blessings Bundeus gave them would cause serious damage in Windere.
The last priests were in a cluster of spellcasters, using so sort of shield spell to ward off my auras. The blight and frost didn't cross into their position. I ran toward them and jumped as high as I could, vaulting over their barrier by dozens of ters. On the peak of my jump, I took Bundeus' cathedral from Rerin out of storage and let the building drop on them.
The Exp notifications that ca as they were crushed by tons of stone confird what my {Detect Favored Enemy} told . In raising barriers against the elental and magical effects, they didn't put much effort into blocking physical objects from crossing.
I took the rubble back in storage along with the bodies. The battlefield was conspicuously clear of these as they were automatically stored if they died in range.
"BY ALL THAT IS HOLY, FIGHT !" The God whined as he kept chasing. He pointed at a group of elite warriors coming my way. "Hold that beast!"
I finished clawing off the heads of the last priests and spellcasters as the elites caught up to . Once this group was done for, the army would no longer be a problem.
The frost aura slowed them by a small margin. They must've had so cold protection. I ducked under a sword swing and raked the soldier's legs as I walked past him to reach the second row. Getting behind armored slow enemies was a good thing because they wasted more ti turning around. Putting these soldiers between and the angry God was also a good thing.
One of them struck my flank with a shield, tossing to the side and breaking so ice off of my body. As I spun to recover my balance, I threw a {Force javelin} at him.
"{Glorious Charge}!" Another one used a Perk before I landed. His upward swing lifted , shaving three hundred thousand HP even after all my mitigation.
"{Relentless Pursuit}!" Other elite knight dashed in a blur to beat sideways, keeping from landing. Without making contact with the ground, I was limited in my options. Another {Force javelin} but that was deflected by a tall knight's tower shield.
"{Shield Rush}! {Shield Bash}!" The other one struck with a tower shield, sending back to the middle of the group.
I got it now. That's how these guys hunt monsters. Keeping the beast from engaging any one of them for too long, chaining their strikes to whittle down the monster. Well, that only works on mindless beasts.
"Do not move!" I applied a {Royal Geas} on them. Of the twelve knights, two resisted and two were royalty themselves. The others fell down twitching as they took heavy damage from disobeying the geas. A quick check told I had SP to keep them from moving before they died.
With their hot potato monster ga ruined, I focused on the four still standing. I issued a challenge on one of the princes and charged. The guy, motivated by an inflated sense of pride told the others to stand back and prepared to strike . As I leaped to pounce him, I shifted into the water elental form. The sword cleaved through , splashing water away but doing little real damage. I engulfed the prince.
"I GOT YOU NOW!" Bundeus' gigantic sword crackling with arcane power ca down and crashed over .
Bundeus slashed you for 1,696,887 HP of damage. Mana shield burned 565,640 MP. Magic Gourt restored 325,037 MP. (Base 246 (-37 prismatic skin) x4 Strength x4 Size x5 Skill x30 Arcane Smite x3 Enchantnt x3 Mana Strike x2 Grandmaster Greatsword x3 Mighty Strike x0.6 Magic Eater x 0,75 favored defense x0.55 Water Elental (halved) x0.75 Magic Resistance x0.6 Honorable Duel x0.75 Avenger's Resilience)
Holy motherfucker!
I clawed the prince's neck, making him vanish and dyeing my water in pink. With my attention on him, I dodged the next slash and bounced up the god's arm, climbing him as my elental form wrapped around his limb. I could feel his divine energy siphoning away. That's what I had to do to win! Drain him dry!
"{Healing Water}!" Nenandil fixed part of my HP by manifesting inside my elental form.
