Chapter 237 Battle To Protect The King! [1]
"Special Wood Elementalist Ability: Great Forest of Doom!"
As Daemon, his Bone Dragon, his Named Skeletons, and his army of undead skeletons and undead spirits charged towards the royal guards, Diana aroused her special bloodline as she made use of her abilities first.
BOOM!
Instantly after she activated her ability, the ground tore open.
While activating this ability, Diana spread her hands outwards as invisible seeds were spread and planted into the soil.
Once she roused her water Elemental affinity to fertilize the seeds, they germinated as they rapidly sprouted out of the ground.
Roots spread through the ground as gigantic tree trunks dug out of the ground, terraforming the once majestic royal palace into a Great Forest.
The gigantic trees were not ordinary trees though, as soon as they sprouted out of the ground, Diana's eyes started glowing in a bright white color.
Diana's connections to these trees was established.
The trees became her arms, her legs, and her eyes, she could do everything through the trees. The trees were now her swords, so also were they her shield.
While the army of undead skeletons charged towards them, Diana finally exerted her control as the gigantic trees danced to her tune.
Some of the trees converged to hide and protect her body in the middle.
As for the rest, they seemed to develop consciousnesses of their own.
Under Diana's command, they lashed out at the undead skeletons.
Bam! Bam! Bam!
Undead skeletons were smashed apart by the rampaging tree trunks and branches no matter how small or big they were as they could not breach through.
Diana was not the only one fighting though.
"Summoner Ability: Beast Plane Summoning!"
"Special Summoner Ability: Beast Integration!"
Bzzz!
As soon as the rainbow bridge opened, 3 new beasts arrived from the beast plane, a massive Iron-Horned Rhino, a Soul Vulture, and a Mutated Cheetah.
The Light Summoner was not to be trifled with.
As soon as all 3 beasts arrived, on top his White Mutated Dove, Magna ordered the Dove as this beast levitated into the skies. The Soul Vulture also levitated into the skies as its predatory eyes glared at the undead skeletons.
"Special Summoner Ability: Light Augmentation!"
As soon as Magna activated this ability, with his legs on top the Mutated Dove's back, an energy was transmitted into it as it folded its wings instantly.
The next moment, when the White Mutated Dove opened its gigantic wings, a white energy erupted with it that spread towards the remaining 3 beasts.
Bzzz!
As soon as the energy invaded them, they all started glowing white.
All Magna's beasts received his light augmentation that not only granted all of them light affinity, but also improved all their base stats with other bonuses.
All 3 beasts gained innate abilities that were related to the light element.
Instantly, all 3 beasts entered a calm but battle-ready state.
"Attack!"
On the skies, Magna finally gave the orders.
None of the beasts hesitated, as the Soul Vulture swooped down from the skies like a jet, the Cheetah exploded forward with incredible speed, becoming one with the wind even as the Rhino charged towards the skeletons momentously.
The charge barely started when Black Master Daemon felt something.
Whoosh!
From the corner of his eyes, this Black Master saw the white glowing Cheetah that sprinted in the air towards him. The Cheetah's speed at this moment was so much that it also ran through the air at a ridiculous speed.
It arrived beside the Necromancy King instantly, but before it could attack, the over-protective Bone Dragon acted as it's bony structure briefly shook.
Instantly, a shield formed by a thick black mist materialized around it.
Boom!
A loud sound reverberated the next moment as the Mutated Cheetah collided against it. It didn't stop there, fire ignited from the Cheetah's skin as it burned at the black mist but it was unable to incinerate it.
"ROAR…!!!"
The Bone Dragon finally roared as it went on the attack.
Its gigantic bony head inclined as it tried to bite the Cheetah, but this was when another beast arrived. The Rhino's grunt reverberated like a Giant's growl.
Following the grunt was a massive laser beam that was shot from the Rhino's horn, Daemon was forced to work this time as he flicked his Necromancy staff.
"Necromancy Ability: Pillar of Bones!"
A pillar of bones rose up just before the red-hot laser beam hit.
BOOM!
The collision set off a wave of explosive sounds around the Bone Dragon who now struggled to keep its flight in the air, this was when the Soul Vulture attacked.
"Screech…!!!"
As soon as this gigantic Vulture shrieked, every beast felt their soul shiver.
The next moment, an invisible wave of soul power spread towards the Gigantic Bone Dragon and it's rider.
The Bone Dragon was shaken as the glow of its eyes briefly went off, even Daemon was affected as the green flames burning in his skull flickered before burning with a lesser intensity.
The Bone Dragon recovered its glow but it struggled to keep flight.
As this mighty Bone Dragon fell, the Mutated Cheetah and the Soul Vulture harassed it in the air even as the Iron-Horned Rhino shot more lasers from below.
As for the Dove, it kept on spreading its purifying white light.
Black Master Daemon and his Bone Dragon seemed to have been contained but this only lasted a little while. The power of the Necromancer made his enemies forget that he was not the only one, there was another Black Master.
"Abaddon Specialty: Roaring Tiger Fist!"
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The explosive sound didn't reverberate just once, it reverberated multiple times as Abaddon's fist sent shockwave ripples through the airspace that injured the Mutated Cheetah while sending the Soul Vulture far away into the skies.
That was not all, the Named Skeletons proved their mettle.
Having kept her aim since, the Named Skeleton Archer finally released the arrow. With a loud whooshing sound, the arrow moved through the air with venom.
With incredible velocity, it slammed into the Soul Vulture's hide.
Bam!
Speed was not a main strength of Soul Vultures, neither was vitality and endurance, this Soul Vulture shrieked loudly in pain as it bled green blood.
Its flight became staggered and disorderly.
Daemon's Named Skeleton Knight charged ahead straight at the Light Summoner and his White Mutated Dove, these 2 were the real fulcrums of this battle that kept the Summoner's other beasts fighting at 120% effectiveness.
While the Named Skeleton Knight charged ahead on its flaming Hell Horse, the 2nd strongest of the Named Skeletons, the Skeleton Giant had another idea.
"Screech…!!!"
This Skeleton Giant shrieked loudly as it leaped into the air.
Its gigantic size enabled it to propel itself high enough for it to grab the Soul Vulture, this Skeleton Giant's intentions were clear, it intended to kill the Vulture.
The Light Summoner was stunned as he rapidly ordered the Vulture to escape, but the Vulture was not famed for its speed.
As for the Mutated Cheetah and the others, they were occupied by Black Master Abaddon and the Named Skeleton Archer.
The Skeleton Giant's eyes gleamed as it came close to catching the Vulture.
Just before it could catch it, something happened…
Whoosh!
Like they had consciousness of their own, the gigantic tree trunks of the grown Great Forest launched into the skies like missiles after the Skeleton Giant.
Just before it could grab the Vulture, the gigantic tree trunks grabbed it.
The tree trunks tightened around this gigantic and powerful Skeleton as they dragged it down the next moment, the Skeleton Giant fell with a loud sound.
This tiny distraction to contain the Skeleton Giant disrupted Diana, the Wood Warrior as with one flap of its gigantic bony wings, the Bone Dragon took Daemon into the center of the palace. This was the prime location to wreak havoc.
Black Master Daemon's eyes gleamed as he ordered in Ancient Darvis.
"Brina!"
The Bone Dragon responded instantly.
"ROAR…!!!"
As soon as this mighty Dragon roared and opened its mouth, from inside it came an extremely concentrated breath of frost energy.
For a moment, it felt like winter itself became a living entity.
The Darvis royal palace turned into a frost kingdom in no time.
This mighty Bone Dragon's frost breath changed everything, in an instant, all the undead skeletons and spirits entered their element while the royal guards were caught off-guard by the sudden cold.
The momentum and direction of this battle changed instantly.
With Black Master Daemon and his Bone Dragon dominating from the skies, the Soul Vulture and the White Mutated Dove could do very little.
And with Black Master Abaddon and the other Named Skeletons leading the undead army from below, the Darvis royal palace guards stood no chance.
They tore their way deeper into the royal palace spreading only destruction.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The sound was like exploding dominoes as the war raged for minutes.
After over a dozen minutes of battle, there was another dangerous attack run and after another well-timed arrow shot from the lethal Named Skeleton Archer, the Soul Vulture shrieked one last time as it was shot from the air.
The Light Summoner felt like a part of his soul was just torn apart.
With the death of one of his contracted beasts, this Summoner was affected.
Not just him, the whole battlefield was affected as the tides tilted even more in the favor of the undead army. The situation turned more precarious.
As they pushed deeper, running out of options, Diana revealed her trump card as the green glow in this female warrior's eyes intensified.
"Special Wood Elementalist Ability: Forest Bloom!"
"Special Wood Elementalist Ability: Forest Consciousness!"
"Diana Specialty: 3 Wood Dragons!"
The transformation was fast and unique, then all 3 roared.
"ROAR…!!!"
