Soul flas were a unique type of fla that ignored the physical defences of the target and went straight for their soul (life force). The more a target was burnt (tainted) by the green flas, the more their life force would be depleted, thus weakening both their physical and magical strength in real-ti.
The only downside to such dangerous magic was the fact that each use also burnt a small portion of the user's lifespan (a subsection of the soul). However, Dimitri's teor hamr amplified the potency and quantity of soul flas produced while absorbing a portion of the burnt soul and passing it to the user.
Although the absorption rate was slightly lower than the rate of soul energy consumption, Dimitri didn't always need the soul flas to kill his targets; thus slightly balancing his life force.
(AN: the soul has a max capacity, and can't exceed that even if more souls are absorbed.)
"Oh ye sinners, let your souls embrace the warmth of the lord!" With a solemn expression on his pale face, Spectre Dimitri turned to the two generals tainted by his green soul flas.
After getting burnt a few tis and feeling their strength being sapped away, the two generals were hesitant to keep attacking, especially after seeing one of their comrades being turned to ashes.
To make matters worse, there was still Lucius constantly foiling their plans whenever they were about to deal a fatal blow to any of the League's mbers.
As for attacking the support, it was only easier said than done. Not only was he protected by both the war do and the other mbers but he was also a Geomancer with the wind elent as his secondary elent. Going for him would only lead to even more complications.
The only way out of this was to overwhelm each of the targets one at a ti; as seasoned warriors, they quickly realized this and imdiately began executing their plans.
Having received the signal from their comrades, the two generals had a sudden boost in confidence as they dashed toward Dimitri.
He was the most dangerous, so he was to be taken out first!
Using flaburst, one of the tainted generals boosted himself to the front of the other while encasing his right hand with a large ice drill before striking at Dimitri's head.
Seeing that the enemies had grown so balls, Dimitri grinned but didn't bother blocking since the general was approaching with an insane montum. Instead, he used the wind elent to get out of the way but almost at the sa ti, a thick lightning bolt from the general behind shot toward him.
Chromastone wall!
Just as the lightning bolt was about to strike, an erald crystal wall erupted from below and blocked the attack.
'Got you!' The two tainted generals thought as another general who was 'occupied' by another mber of the League appeared behind Dimitri with his entire body covered by lightning arcs.
"Die!" The general roared as he stabbed his hand enveloped in lightning at Dimitri's heart.
(AN: Chidori!)
"HAHAHAHA!" Instead of hearing the sound of Dimitri's heart being punctured, all they heard was a crazed laugh from him.
"Have you ever wondered why they call Spectre Dimitri?" Dimitri chuckled, drawing their attention to his cloak which was now filled with green patterns.
His cloak was an Epic-rank item that made every part of his body that it covered beco intangible for a few seconds. Also, it induced fear in anyone who ca in contact with it whether with their body or a weapon that they held.
'Shit!' With his heart now pounding, the general tried taking out his hand, but Dimitri's hand which was still tangible had already swung the teor hamr through himself.
CRACK!
The hamr crashed on the general's head, releasing a massive amount of soul flas that instantly tore through his energy barriers.
"AH!"
The unlucky general scread in pain as the soul flas burned both his soul and fatally injured head. However, Dimitri was in no way done with him.
The Spectre who had now beco tangible, imdiately turned and used the chains of the teor hamr to sweep him off his feet, before striking again with the hamr.
BOOM!
The ground below cracked as the teor hamr slamd into the general who was now severely injured.
"May the heavens accept your lost soul." Spectre Dimitri prayed as he increased the flas from the teor hamr.
"NOOO!"
Another general who was a close friend to the unlucky general who was being incinerated scread in rage as he threw his Epic-rank spear toward Dimitri.
At that ti Lucius erected another Chromastone wall.
"Huh?" Dimitri turned in the direction of the noise and sensed a spear coming at him, but that was when a spatial corridor appeared just before the chromastone wall with its exit opening above the unlucky general.
A dinsional image!
Just like the soul flas, Dinsional mages were rare. This was because they were only useful in battle when they had spatial tags for their exit points. So not many people bothered to go down that path.
However, after seeing Blake's accomplishnts during his ti in the empire, a lot more people were inspired.
In this case, the spear wielder had given his friend a tag, but he hadn't expected to be killed so quickly.
'Interesting…' Dimitri thought as he sensed the spear not too far from puncturing his skull. Instead of panicking, he just smiled.

AN: Earlier in the book, I stated that soul flas could only be defended by soul protection items or artefacts. However, after careful consideration, I decided to nerf it a little bit because it was too OP.
Now, energy-based defences would be able to protect one against soul flas. On the bright side, if one has a soul protection item or artefact the soul flas would no longer be useless, they would just burn like normal flas do.
Tell what you think about this in the comnt section :)
