Indeed, Rae was having better luck than the others.
With her Undead Army spell and her Golems, she had massacred three Totem Ranked warriors already, and she was currently incorporeal, watching a terrified Necromancer plead for mercy.
The unfortunate spell caster could obviously see her, but Rae simply stepped through his ring of Zombies and let him see the pure hunger in her many eyes as she stared down at him for his last few seconds.
[Night Haunter] was WAY more fun when the target could see you.
The Zombies collapsed as Rae killed their master, then used [Entangling Vines] to make a pole to impale him on. Even if they tried to regenerate him, they would have to tear him down first with the vines spread through his insides.
Karl let loose a [Void Blast] and everything within fifty metres of him simply ceased to exist, except the Bone Dragon he was fighting.
The pair crashed to the ground of the newly formed pit, and Karl used his strength advantage to smash the other dragon’s skull off the knee of his rear leg.
The Unholy Magic lashing at his body briefly dimmed as the dragon lost consciousness, then stopped entirely as Karl liberated the dragon’s head from its body, shattering the spell that animated the creature.
He pulled the large red core gem free from the Bone Dragon so that it didn’t simply reassemble itself in a few minutes, then checked the battlefield.
The Chieftain was on his second target, Rae was running wild through the enemy Totems, but Cara was in a bad way, fleeing through the undead as an enraged group of Necromancers and a Lich Lord chased her.
The Chaos Badger was laughing, but she was sending out three [Nullify] spells a second to keep them from getting to her.
[Sister Cara really knows how to push people’s buttons, doesn’t she?] Tian asked as they watched the battle for a second to ensure there was nowhere else they were needed.
The fight under Totem Rank was solidly under their control, with the Orcs and the ladies working together to herd the Undead away from the wounded, who were guarded by Remi’s team as Lotus operated her healing station.
[There is nothing that Cara loves more than making enemies mad, and these ones are really mad.] Opal agreed.
Cara got a split second of reprieve, and a [Void Blast] exploded directly against the crotch of the Necromancer’s barrier.
[Good point. She’s not even trying to kill them, just keep them too mad to realize that Rae has almost reached their position.] Tian realized.
Karl took flight and formed a massive [Holy Blast], Tian’s Holy Element attack skill.
It would heal the Orcs where it touched them, so there was no chance of collateral damage, and the amount of mana that he was pouring into the glowing ball of golden light in his claws was drawing the attention of every surviving Totem.
The group chasing Cara changed their focus and hurled counterspells at Karl, aiming to nullify the spell with Unholy Damage.
Karl threw the spell at the ground, and the skills collided, creating a massive explosion that tossed him further up in the air, and vaporized a large portion of the Undead Horde’s reserves.
Not quite what Karl had hoped for, but effective enough.
The three Totems who had been chasing Cara rose into the air to engage Karl at an altitude that wouldn’t make the rest of the battle into collateral damage, and the Void Badger sighed.
Up there, she couldn’t hide at all.
Instead, she turned her attention to the undead horde, and the ones near the Orcish Chief. He was having a glorious two on one battle, and she wouldn’t interfere unless it looked like he was going to lose.
But she could give him room to fight.
Hawk was forced to retreat as the battle came into his airspace, and Karl told him that he could scout to ensure there were no hidden reserves.
The bird had never gotten the hang of the humanoid transformation, and if they were going to fight over the main battle, that put Hawk in an impossible position.
Unable to fight properly on the ground, unable to attack from the air.
He even had the [Lord of Destruction] transformation that ignored most damage types.
Maybe he could get away with that and a request to be shrunk? If he was the size of a regular bird monster again, he could fly close enough to the battle that he wouldn’t be targeted by the Totems.
Karl gave him an assist with [Unobtrusive Behemoth], and Hawk transformed into the ghostly fire elemental that was the Lord of Destruction.
As hoped, the Totems weren’t interested in the Overlord Ranked bird. They had Skeletal Mages on the ground to deal with flying and fast-moving targets. Compared to the bird, this World Dragon hatchling with its crazy damage reduction and massive strength was a much greater threat.
“You’re finished today.” The Lich Lord informed Karl in a dry tone.
{Perhaps if you had all come at me together, that might be true. But probably not.} Karl disagreed.
The Undead prepared their spells and Karl hurled [Holy Blast] out in a wave in front of him.
The two elements were a hard counter to each other, and the match at first appeared to be a stalemate. Only, right behind the first wave was a second, and then a third.
The second wave of holy power crashed into the shields of the Undead, which the third wave collapsed before beginning to burn their bodies.
The Totems recovered quickly, regenerating themselves as they brought up their barriers and used skills to counter the barrage of [Void Blast] attacks that Karl was hurling their way.
{You can run now and inform your Lord that you failed. I am sure that he won’t hold it against you.} Karl suggested as the power around the Undead visibly dimmed.
“Your skills are impressive, but not nearly impressive enough.” The Lich Lord countered.
He had a magical device in his hand and a smirk on his face.
“Say goodbye, you filthy creature.” He chuckled.
[Goodbye, you filthy creature.] Cara agreed.
Right before she nullified his barrier and stole his magical Orb, which she took immediately to her space for further inspection.
