Chapter 161 War Against the Undead
Waiting for the others to arrive before creating another Holy Nova, Logan recovered with Kryst's skill, Mana Regeneration. Meanwhile, Zephyr created a few small tornados with his wings to keep the headless monsters at bay.
Soon, Orus joined them along with five of his kind and three of Zephyr's kind. Rubina surprisingly came riding her Aurolious Fowl, which was now as large as Zephyr, along with her muster of five birds. They, though, were too thin to carry anyone, unlike the eagles.
"Well, we have gathered all those who can take flight…" Lisa called out, using her link with Logan while looking at the monsters in the field. There were thousands of them, and two craters indicated that Logan had already tried fighting some.
"Yes, well, you can see we will be up against a big crowd… also, I think I feel someone watching us… so be careful," Logan replied.
He began charging his next spell to unleash, making all those around him witness the new power. As soon as it left his hand and glided down, it caused grand devastation to all the monsters.
"I think you should try the next one," Logan said, breathlessly. He then felt Kryst fly towards him, using the form of one of the eagles before turning into her slime form to envelop him, healing and recovering his mana faster.
"Thanks, Kryst. I was hoping you would come." Logan began feeling the energy quickly recovering his battered core.
He watched as Lisa performed the same spell and asked Zephyr to get close enough to help her cast it with various buffs.
As soon as Lisa released her spell, it made Logan's pale in comparison. If Logan's spell enveloped seventy meters, Lisa's spell did double the damage, affecting twice the area while using only half the mana.
"That… well, it took care of a few more, but I don't think I can do too many," Lisa said, breathing roughly.
"Don't worry, the rest should now be able to handle a few thousand before we need to recast," Logan began to say before he noticed that the headless beings were now beginning to act strange.
Unlike before, they crashed into each other, joining their bodies as eerie abominations. Their skins melded into nearby corpses as they absorbed the bodies of their fallen, creating giant golem-like creatures. Discover more stories at My Virtual Library Empire
"I don't think they will let us cast again!" Lisa shouted as the rest began using magic to bombard the creatures.
This time, the monsters did not simply let themselves be killed. They began absorbing the magic thrown at them before shooting back orbs of raw mana.
Logan moved towards the orbs that could be deflected and used Serana's shadow magic to consume them.
Being a magic he was not accustomed to, or being one of the seven original elementals of this world, he struggled to maintain his mana reserves.
"Kryst, here, absorb some crystals…" Logan spoke to Kryst, hoping she would heal him within a few seconds as he felt like he would fall off Zephyr from using so much mana.
Serana wanted to enter but stopped herself as soon as she saw the grotesque golems.
Everyone stood by as they waited for Logan's order. So far, only his magic and Lisa's magic worked against the golems. Any other magic would bring retaliation in the form of mana orbs.
"Kai, ask Silis, Digger, Terra, and Voltar to come and keep the Golems on standby in case something happens near our town," Logan directed his most powerful melee classes. Earth magic was probably the best since it used its surroundings to cause damage. If magic was going to be repelled, he would need to attack with melee strikes.
"Everyone, get back! We are sitting ducks here," Ms. Claire yelled from afar. She used the power in her voice to instantly make everyone retreat as if choreographed.
Alma, on the other hand, began to sing to empower everyone before the coming fight. Her sweet voice made Logan's body feel like it was in the softest of beds, recovering not only his body but also his mind.
Lisa, who felt reinvigorated, used her skill once again to stop the golems who kept moving forward without stopping. It was easier now, as the thousands of beasts had become hundreds of golems.
Logan, on the other hand, did not want to spend the remainder of his power to try another spell and kept his reserves. He knew the mindless beasts needed a leader, and that leader was probably planning to attack once everyone had exhausted themselves.
There was no other explanation for not attacking when many of his monsters were wiped out.
Logan took his time to think for a few minutes, waiting for his beast to arrive.
Soon, Terra and Silis emerged from two large holes. Logan did not need to see Digger because he knew the smart mole was already nearby, creating traps for the golems along with many within his group.
He guessed the colony of moles was probably larger than the new Wark village in numbers. Logan did not have an exact count, but he estimated Digger had a colony of at least fifty or so moles under his command.
"Silis, Terra, begin a volley. Try using earth spikes, but release your control on mana when you release them!" Logan communicated, hoping his two monsters understood the task.
Having improved in sending emotions and feelings instead of words towards his monsters, Logan saw how the two creatures did exactly what he asked. They sent great pillars of stones to the golems.
This was only the beginning, as others of their kind began doing the same. Instead of large pillars, they threw spikes, lances, and all they could conjure up. Logan noticed that each monster often had its own unique skills. While they shared common ones, sometimes one or another had a skill that only they possessed.@@novelbin@@
As the projectiles descended to the golems, they hit with explosive impact. This time, with no magic to carry them, the golems could not retaliate. They exploded when each hit was too much for their bodies to bear.
