Chapter 334 - The End Of The Arch Lich III
The mixed elemental attacks that are sent towards the Arch Lich by Emrys is not normal to say the least. Usually if two or more elements are mixed with each other, a catastrophic effect will happen. Usually when two elements are mixed together, an explosion would usually result if the two elements are not perfectly mixed.
The spell that Emrys used just goes to show that he has understood the nature of each element. He knew how to perfectly balance the needed amount of a certain element to synergize them perfectly. Contrary to what other sorcerers use, Emrys does not use the same amount per each element.
The popular notion for magic users using two elements is to use the same amount of power but that is not really the case for the game Pandemonium. In Pandemonium, an elemental system called Elemental Harmony is implemented and magic is not really what others believe that it is simply imagining it.
Magic in Pandemonium is more of a science because it is more powerful the more knowledgeable the caster is about magic. Also not everyone could freely wield magic of every element powerfully because some people are more attune to certain elements. A body that is perfect for magic of every element is rare but it is always the case for half demons or Daemonios.
The Arch Lich put up a barrier using his mana but even it proved to be difficult due to the elements reinforcing each other rather than weakening the spell constitution. The spells of Emrys managed to pierce the defenses erected by the Arch Lich. A loud explosion and cloud of smoke appeared on the area of impact.
Emrys conjured up a blast of wind to clear up the smoke and he was surprised to find what the Arch Lich did. A pile of wraiths and skeletons blocked the damage that is supposed to be for the Arch Lich. Emrys knows that the Arch Lich is dictator like in leadership but he did not know it was to the degree of sacrificing his own troops.
"Did you really think that I could not block your feeble attack, sorcerer?! Let me show you what true elemental control is really like!" The Arch Lich Malus stated as he amassed a great deal of elemental power.
The Arch Lich used a great deal of mana that a mortal body could not easily handle. All the elements gathered into a sphere of great size above the Arch Lich. The Arch Lich combined all elements into one attack unlike what Emrys did. A great deal of power is amassed that the dark clouds surrounding the Necropolis cleared up due to the chaotic nature of the elements.
"Celestial Piercer" Hou Yiwei stated and an arrow of light suddenly pierced the Arch Lich\' body that made the latter almost cancel the spell casting.
Direct damage usually interrupts a magic user when hit by an attack. The Arch Lich not only still continued his chant but he even managed to glare at the archer that dare to attack it. Still, the Arch Lich is hit by an attack with pure holy element so its health took a great drop.
"You dare attack me archer! You shall see the wrath of my attack! Cataclysm!" The Arch Lich stated and the sphere containing all the elements finally fully formed.
The sphere is made of the combined light and dark elements. The elements of fire, earth, air and water are like rotating rings that contain the volatile light and dark elements. Emrys who saw how the Arch Lich handled the elements is both amazed and afraid. The sphere of volatile elements is now crashing down upon everyone in the area.
"Light Sanctuary!" Pope Pristina of the Church of Light immediately cast to all members of the imperial army. She continued doing so two more times as even she felt the threat that the elemental sphere can bring. She even debated if she needed to shed her borrowed mortal flesh and use her angelic powers.
Emrys immediately started chanting and his body has overcome gravity itself. He did not even cast a levitation spell on himself but Emrys floating is a phenomena that only occurs when someone is perfectly attuned with mana itself.
Emrys\' eyes started to glow in a bright blue light while his voice echoed as if he spoke ten times in different octaves. The air around him suddenly became heavy to the point that even Pope Pristina found it difficult to breath.
"Reverse Polarity!" Emrys stated and his voiced echoed all throughout the battlefield.
The chaotic sphere of the combined elements no longer came down but instead started floating upwards. The Arch Lich Malus saw what Emrys did and flew in a fit of rage because this was equivalent of the latter slapping the former in the face.
Not only did the Arch Lich felt humiliation but he also felt that he needed to erase everyone present here including all his undead minions. He does not want any other person to be alive and tell the story about the embarrassment he felt this day.
While the Arch Lich Malus has commanded all his undead to kill everyone present, Emrys is having a difficult time continuing what he is doing. Emrys stated coughing blood and started weakening because of the overexertion of his body. Even he finds it difficult to control an ungodly amount of mana despite bearing the title of Great Sorcerer.
The Arch Lich Malus pointed his finger in the direction of Emrys. The Arch Lich\' finger suddenly started to glow in a pale green light and lightning of the same color started emanating from it.
"Finger of Undeath! Die, lesser being!" The Arch Lich Malus stated as pale green lightning came out of his finger aimed towards Emrys.
Siegfried who saw the attack of the Arch Lich wanted to block the attack in order to gain the favor of the Imperial Sorcerer but he was still being healed. Hou Yiwei could not block it either despite him knowing how pivotal Emrys\' role in this war is because the Arch Lich sent many death knights on his way.
The pale green lightning headed straight towards Emrys but the figure of a man in martial artist robes suddenly got on the way. This martial artist was none other than Ain. A blue aura can be seen covering his body like a mist as he took on the attack of the Arch Lich.
The pale green lightning did not immediately strike down Ain but it seems that he managed to block it for a brief period. During that brief period, Ain blocked the pale green lightning with his palm and twisted his body. The pale green lightning followed this twisting motion as Ain directed it to do so.
"Flowing Reversal!" Ain shouted while gritting. He managed to redirect the spell but his hands became sundered in the process.
The pale green lightning that is supposed to strike down Emrys is now sent back to the Arch Lich. The Arch Lich was unable to defend against the returned attack because the paladins of the Church of Light was finally able to get near him. The paladins rose their shields then it shined in a glorious golden light that paralyzed the Arch Lich.
The Arch Lich felt so much pain from the light but the damage from his own spell is what dealt him greater damage as it has the piercing effect that neglects defense. The paladins of the Church of Light not only obscured the vision of the Arch Lich but they also managed to root him in place in accordance to the plan of Pope Pristina.
Emrys who was greatly struggling could no longer control gravity to his liking and decided to release the chaotic ball of elements towards the Necropolis where lots of undead are still coming out of. The undead like death knights and liches that were defeated in the first battle are being revived in the catacombs below the Necropolis.
The Arch Lich\' army already held numerical advantage but if more kept on coming then the imperial army would definitely lose. Emrys used the last of his strength to direct the chaotic elemental sphere towards the Necropolis. The Arch Lich saw this and became more enraged as his castle where he held dominion is about to be destroyed while he is trapped.
"Life Drain!" The Arch Lich Malus shouted in dark screechy voice full of desperation.
All the living being and even his own undead started losing health as the Arch Lich grew in size. At first the Arch Lich just measured about two and a half meters in height but he started to grow until he became twice his size. The paladins that were near the Arch Lich had it more rough as they looked like they were about to pass out from the amount of health drained from them.
[The Arch Lich Malus\' spell is amplified by the cursed ground. He can drain the life on every being standing on the ground that he stands upon.]
The players there could only curse out loud because the worst situation has finally happened. The scariest thing is that their health is still dropping without showing signs that it will cease to do so.
