While the others were fighting their hardest to keep the Doomsday Worm locked down an unable to cause anymore destruction than it already had, Marcus simply watched from above.
His powers were just not on par with the rest of them, and any damage he could do even with his strongest attacks were negligible.
Still, he was not just sitting around doing nothing.
He had applied multiple buff spells to Retharin who was fighting on the front lines and needed every boost he could get as he had taken the most dangerous of jobs.
Along with that Marcus was keeping an eye out for any unexpected developnts, or if there was a place where he could intervene to block an unseen attack.
Luckily everything seed to be going well, and they had been able to practically halt the advance of the Dread Burrower.
Even with its practically godly regeneration, its body was being constantly assaulted, and whenever it tried to make any big moves, Jaela would keep it pinned down.
But as they kept fighting sothing just did not sit right with Marcus, like they had all been missing sothing.
Honestly, he was not sure why he felt this way, but it was like in the back of his mind a single question kept popping up..
‘Why is it so easy?’
This nagging question had taken root in his mind and while he tried not to think about it, for so reason it was always there.
‘There is no reason I should feel this way, so why do I? We were certainly having a difficult ti before, so I must just be thinking it has gotten too easy. Ardea and Jaela are just that superior in strength that just them alone turned the tide.’
Convincing himself that he was just being paranoid, Marcus refocused on the battle.
Things continued smoothly despite his internal worry, and soon he spotted a group of people coming over the horizon.
Looking out toward these people, Marcus was able to see that they were being led by Aria and Darius.
These were the elite mages and knights of the kingdom, and other than Gwyneira, they were Borealia’s greatest force.
Among them were eleven mages including Aria, and twelve knights including Darius.
‘Finally, we should have enough power to win.’ Marcus thought.
Soon the strongest forces of the kingdom arrived over the battlefield and Gwyneira approached them to relay her orders.
She knew what all of them could do and updated them on their opponents’ abilities and where they would all be most effective.
Then once these new combatants had been brought up to speed, Gwyneira connected everyone over telepathy and said, ‘Our reinforcents have arrived. It is ti that were put this thing down.’
With enough powerful fighter having gathered it was finally ti for them all to attack in earnest.
For the most part they had just been using regular attacks they could repeat hundreds of even thousands of tis without being exhausted, but now was the ti to go all out and destroy every inch of this thirty-mile-long worm.
Beginning the bombardnt, Jaela started glowing brightly as she accumulated a trendous amount of mana around herself.
The air around her even began to turn hazy and it was as if space was being warped as her power grew and grew.
“Wrath of the Forest.”
As Jaela cast her most powerful tenth tier spell, the sky spit open and a luminous green ring that was many miles in diater opened up.
Out of this ring thousands upon thousands of roots, vines, branches, flowers and all manner of other plants began spawning.
So were even giant Venus flytraps that fit an entire city block in their mouths.
In an instant all of this power descended from the sky and began attacking the Doomsday Worm.
First, millions of flower petals that were each like their own little blades cut into it constantly slicing through its flesh and weaking it to prepare for the next wake.
After the flower petals, a swarm of vines and roots flew down and began wrapping up the damaged monster and then millions of branches shaped like spears pieced into its body.
Next thousands of carnivorous plants ca down and began taking bites out of the gigantic monster and dousing it in powerful acids that burned away its flesh.
Finally, a massive tree of nearly equal size to the one that Jaela was always next to descend down from her spell and stuck itself into the Dread Burrower, before spread its roots out through its body.
The giant ring that had conjured this godlike phenonon then began to disappear, and Jaela was left breathing heavily.
Unfortunately, while this spell would have normally killed any target as the massive tree would drain the energy from whatever it had been implanted in. The Doomsday Worm was able to drain it right back.
Currently they were in a struggle of dominance that the tree was slowly losing as the Dread Burrower drained it fast than it could do the sa.
Still, the enormous monster had taken a great deal of damage from this spell and was now completely pinned down. Unable to do much of anything other than drain the life out of its surroundings.
With their enemy pinned and already sliced up and pierced all over. everyone else went to work.
To start, Retharin opened his mouth and unleashed a huge blast of electricity down the enormous worm’s throat, causing its insides to be blown apart and preventing it from trying to attack with its mouth.
Following that Asher began slicing large chucks out of the worm along with knight commander Darius and his subordinates
Their job was to dismantle the worm faster than it could regenerate new parts.
At the sa ti, the mages led by Aria bombarded the separated pasts and turned them into dust with powerful spells, which Marcus joined along with.
Quickly they began taking the thing apart and destroying it until it was just an unmoving and unrecognizable mound of flesh.
It seed that they were on the verge of winning as Gwyneira froze the last wriggling part of its body, and caused its cells to burst as they were exposed to temperatures that were near absolute zero.
Yet as they were all just working on clean up and burning away the last remains of the Doomsday Worm, it began glowing a sickly red and orange color.
The eye that they had already destroyed then reappeared in the center of its devastated body and all of the remaining flesh and muscle flew towards it before coalescing into a ball.
As this happened everyone tried firing off attacks hoping to destroy this resurgence, but nothing connected.
A powerful barrier had been erected around it that even Jaela’s attacks could not pierce, and it slowly began expanding outward until the Dread Burrower had fully reford.
However, the barrier did not disappear around it, and it soon began moving forward with an invincible shield that protected it from any outside attack.
Its path of desolation no longer being stopped, it continued heading onwards towards Loursend, while sending a renewed attack of tendrils towards everyone that had been fighting it.
