Idrel's whole body was emitting a gentle green light as he used his ability to its fullest, tens of vines penetrated through the ground and danced wildly in the air. Not only was Idrel summoning a lot more vines right now, but there were so that had coiled around his body in an attempt to bolster his defense as well. His staff wasn't left out, two thinner but darker vines coiled around it before ending in spikes, allowing the staff to not only do blunt damage now but to penetrate as well.
Gardo, on the other hand, had actually beco smaller, his over 2m tall body had shrunk to 1.8 ters, but his muscles on the other hand seed to have beco much more condensed and powerful. One look was enough to let Reign know that the man hadn't beco weaker, in fact, he had beco more powerful than before while having greater flexibility thanks to his now-smaller body.
Luin on the other hand used his weapon skill, his ability was based on souls and since that was almost worthless against Reign, he was going to fight him purely physically, at least for now. If he could sohow manage to notice any kind of weakness that Reign's soul has, then he would imdiately attack.
Luin's sword started emitting a dark aura as his armor shone brilliantly. Even though Idrel and Gardo also had more rank A items, they ca with passive skills or with those that wouldn't be helpful in this situation. Luin however could get a powerful attack boost from his sword which would increase his agility and strength while making it much sharper than before. His armor however gave him more defense while simultaneously strengthening his soul-based attacks.
Even though the strengthening of his soul-based attacks was useless right now, the armor's skill was one that would be active for a longer period of ti and he could use it right now without worry.
The three n all attacked Reign imdiately after using their abilities and skills. Each of them was powered up and stronger than before, of course, compared to Reign they all fell short individually. Idrel was now able to control his vines in an attempt to greatly limit Reign's movent while Gardo, who was now much faster than before was running after him and smashing apart the area with his giant hamr.
Luin on the other side was keeping to the sides, each ti he would spot an opening he would swoop in and attack Reign who needed to defend against the man while being in a bad spot. The teamwork and coordination of the three were amazing and soon they forced Reign to be on the defensive end.
Even Idrel had joined in and fought against him in close quarters, his staff was now strengthened and he could hit harder which created so problems for Reign.
The vines on each side of the staff especially made it difficult since they could actually extend and attack him. He had already gotten so superficial wounds thanks to the three but was holding on. He still felt that there was no need to use a weapon skill or the power of his mark since he was still able to defend against them successfully.
Gardo's speed and power had increased compared to before, but his proficiency with the hamr was not very high and his attack patterns were honestly simple and Reign was able to dodge most of the blows. Idrel was much more skillful, but his speed and strength were nothing special as he specialized in using his vines to control the battlefield and enemies in order to either gang up on them or attack from ti to ti.
Luin was actually the one that Reign was keeping an eye on. Even though the young man's ability was almost worthless when put against Reign, he was still quite powerful after using the weapon skill and his armor, his sword proficiency, even though nothing particularly high, was still not to be underestimated as he could surprise you with a quick switch when it ca to an attack.
On the other side of the battlefield, a fierce battle was raging between the Judge and the king, both n had stopped playing around and the Judge had even personally arrived in front of the king. Even though his power lay in the fact that he could attack others from long-range with a multitude of different attacks, the armor had boosted his power greatly and he could even trade a couple of blows against the king, of course, compared to the king he was still weaker in close quarters, but nobody said this was only close quarters fight.
Thick purple chains would shoot out from the ground from ti to ti in order to bind the king during a fierce exchange of punches, sotis the king would suddenly be faced with a hundred mana arrows falling down on him right after punching or kicking the Judge away. With swords, spears, and tens of purple fists that ca from all sides, the king had to face an incredible number of different attacks while fighting the Judge.
Not only was it annoying that soone who was beneath the first evolution was able to fight evenly against him, but the weird and varied types of attacks were also getting on his nerves. One never knew what to expect when fighting against the Judge as the variety of his attacks was incredible and he could easily surprise the enemy at any mont.
The king was getting a bit frustrated as he was still unable to deal any significant damage to the Judge who was masterfully using his ability in order to stop him for a mont before drawing so distance whenever things got tough. He would also quickly bombard the king with many attacks at any mont, but it mostly worked to annoy the king as the damage done was nothing special.
It was clear that even though the two looked even, it was still the Judge who was at a disadvantage as none of his attacks so far had managed to deal any significant damage. Compared to the king who had barely landed a hit on him, he had managed to hit him multiple tis, yet it barely did anything against the powerful man who was slowly losing his patience and releasing more and more mana.
Crack!
A crack was suddenly heard near the wall, the turtle had managed to hit the pillar again, and this ti the crack had beco much larger compared to before, the mana curtain started flickering a bit as it was clear that it wouldn't be able to hold out for much longer. Suddenly one person ca out form the formation and hit the pillar, it was the leader of the army.
The pillar shattered as the mana curtain was gone, the turtle was also damaged and it was clear that it wouldn't last for much longer, but it would be enough for them to get to the wall. Suddenly more rumbling could be heard from the inside of the wall. Two large holes suddenly appeared and before anyone could do anything, two large mana blasts were released from them.
The fortification didn't only have the 8 mana cannons, they also had 2 even larger ones that could deal so devastating damage. As the mana blast hit the turtle a large explosion took place, compared to the smaller cannons, these didn't deal penetrative damage but exploded.
The turtle was gone, the power behind the two blasts was too powerful for it to defend against. The soldiers at the very front had also suffered greatly from the explosion, many were injured and many also died. The collapse of the turtle however wasn't that big of a deal for the army as they had already co close to the wall.
Lieara and her elite troops were on top of the wall, waiting for any that would try and climb it while the other soldiers continued shooting arrows, throwing down boulders, and more.
As the enemy army managed to get to the wall they imdiately focused on the giant gate, even though the toughness of the gate was higher compared to the wall, if they could deal enough damage, they should be able to force whatever it was that was holding it in place to get destroyed, of course, that was only 1 part of the plan.
The leader of the army, together with the rest of the elite troops used their abilities and weapons in order to quickly scale the wall and initiate close-quarters combat with Lieara and her n. Soon the top of the wall was engulfed in battle as Lieara took on the leader of the army while Dain and Ilas took on 2 powerful individuals.
The problem however was the fact that the enemy had more high-level combatants compared to them, even though their troops were almost even, they would lose thanks to that one disadvantage they had.
That soon changed however when Raigon pointed the small device in his hand towards them. The ground in front of the wall suddenly turned purple as the enemy soldiers found it harder to move thanks to the mushy purple ground that appeared beneath them.
Lieara and her n were also coated in a very thin layer of purple mana, even though it was nothing compared to what the Judge had, it was still enough to give them a boost and allow them to fight evenly against the enemy.
