Douglas turned towards Colin who had a cold expression.
"Traitor..." Douglas gnashed his teeth as blood began to spurt out of his mouth.
"Traitor? I was just confirming that you are not the Vampire Ancient!" Colin answered and buried the dagger deeper. And it seems Treks isn't him too. But what does it matter? What can you do in this battle?! At least can focus on reviving you as undead with the power of my master!" Colin pulled his dagger and stabbed again at Douglas's throat.
Two Captains were killed. If Ress was not a Mage, she too would have been killed. Ress trembled as she saw the other captains die in a brutal ambush!
The other surviving captain was captain Meria who had the blessings that allowed her to become a huntress. She had the abilities of a Scout and an archer. But her use to the team was barely sufficient for the fight and she knew that she would die soon. If not abandoned by the group, she would be killed by Menks.
She drew her bow to confirm the little uses that she had against the elemental Golems that appeared to have a high Champion strength. Meria's tears dropped as she began to weep in fear. She was certain that she would die here one way or the other. She even believed that Menks is just waiting for another opportunity to kill her!
Angelica was angry, but she could understand Menks's intention. The other Captain had little use. Against the Golems of Champion to Commander, they would only be in the way. Menks opted to kill them to confirm that they are not the Vampire Ancient.
The eight Golems had the elements of Fire, Lightning, Entropy, Dark, Water, Ice, Wind, and Earth. The Dark had powers that were equal to Commanders and all eight rushed forward to meet the undead summons.
"Mages! Attack the elements that are weak to yours!" Menks ordered.
Estelle stayed behind the ranks of the undead minions who charged forward to fight the elemental golems.
She used them as meat shields to rush into the side and stab out at the golems. She stayed behind Commander Derwin's undead corpse and would move to the blindside to deliver a stab.
The battle began as they clashed against the Golem Champions of different elements.
Angelica was shocked at the durability of the Earth Golem as it managed to resist her punch.
Laura and Northspark released their Champion level magic on the Golems but shields of different elements blocked the attack.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The fire and lightning attacks were aimed at the ice and water golems.
Ress harnessed lightning energy and shot it along with Northspark.
But the ice managed to resist the strong heat, and the water golem had created powerful darkness that devoured the lightning!
"Impossible! Abyss Water!" Menks saw it and cursed. He began to make strange seals on his hand and the gigantic skull began to glow a strange color.
"Angelica! Estelle! Retreat back! This attack is harmful to everything except death!" He ordered the gigantic skull to launch its baleful breath.
"[Baleful Frost Breath]!"
The power of a chilling, entropy shot out as the skull opened its mouth. A bluish, mist blew towards the group and passed the frontline of the undead.
The power of Entropy and Ice attacked the Golems and their bodies began to freeze up leaving them wide open to the attacks of the undead champions and commanders.
Even the Ice Golem was starting to slow down as the strange mist somehow caused the ice to be petrified.
SLASH! BANG!
The undead took advantage of the frozen and slow state of the golems and landed a powerful strike.
But even with the undead Darwin who had a body of Commander, the force and power were not enough to break through the hard bodies of the golem! The Steel and Earth Golem didn't even show damage from the attacks.
"Mages! Attack the ice golem! Those things are too resilient! It will take all your attacks to kill it!" Menks called out to the mage.
The three mages challenged their magic.
"[Fire Needle]!" Laura harnessed her fire energy and concentrated it to create a small needle that shot toward the Ice Golem. Her magic was the first to reach and it stabbed deep inside the Ice golem and then exploded out.
But the golem did not break even with fire energy exploding from within the golem.
Northspark harnessed his lightning energy and focused on channeling great heat to it.
"[Burning Lightning Bolt]!"
ZAP!
Red lightning shot fort and the bolt struck the ice golem and it began to show signs of breaking.
Ress harnessed such great magic that her attacks could already be considered to be Champion level!
Her desperate attempts to show her worth made her reveal all her aces.
"[Scourching Sun Burst]!
A large yellow sun was born and flew towards the golems and it exploded out.
BOOM!
Laura's attack weakened the core of the golem and Northspark's attack weakened the outer defenses. With these two attacks, Ress's attack finally succeeded as the Ice golem began to crumble.
Estelle focused her force energy and prepared her strongest attack.
"[Armor Piercer]!" Estelle targeted the hardest Golem of all and stabbed her spear towards the core of the steel golem.
DING!
The loud metallic ring was heard. But Estelle had revealed powers that could kill Commander in that attack. The stab caused the spear to dig deep into the chest of the Steel Golem.
"[Force After Shock]!" Estelle shouted as she pumped Force energy and channeled it through her spear.
BOOM!
An explosion formed and the hole in the chest of the Steel Golem grew larger.
Meria harnessed the power and placed it in her bow and she shot it out.
The arrow she used was one of her strongest arrows as it contained explosive energy.
BOOM!
The explosion occurred and Meria did her best to stay standing and put on a facade of strength so that she would not be killed.
Angelica channeled her dragonic force and her right arm became a lizard's arm and she charged forward to punch the Earth Golem who she challenged.
"[Dragon Thane Punch]!"
BANG!
The simple punch created a hole in the chest of the Earth Golem.
Menks also harnessed the power of Necromancy and the two bodies of the resurrected captains, including Douglas and Treks ran recklessly towards the Golem.
"[Corpse Combustion]!" Menks released the Death Energy inside the corpses and all the life and force that the bodies contained exploded out.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The attacks were potent that they caused cracks to appear all over the golems and the Steel golem began to lose its energy and was starting to collapse.
Angelica was splattered with the blood of the dead captains that were raised.
The blood spilled out everywhere.
"Monster!" Angelica roared.
"Monster? By the blood of our allies we will survive! This place is only a magnifying glass that enlarges the horrors that we face! You, daughter of Fafnir, serve a kingdom who has caused many of their allies to die! How many die in the Lowlands or the Dark Sea to preserve the balance of the Highlands!" Menks shouted.
"Shut up, both of you! Focus on fighting! That didn't kill the Golems! Look!"
At the last second surviving golems created a large shield around them. But now, the shield opened and only the layer on top of them remained to prevent the mages from doing more magic.
Shields of Wind, Water, Lightning, Dark, and Fire appeared overhead as the Golems used their defensive and offensive forms to pound the Champions.
The death of the three golems caused a strange energy transference that made the remaining Golems stronger!
But the Dark Golem began to explode with power as it suddenly grew stronger and surpassed the power of the first level of Commander.
SLAP!
A powerful slap from the Dark Golem struck Angelica and pushed her back.
With her flying back the Dark Golem led the charge at the gap in the formation.
Menks quickly sent his summons there and
It punched out and its dark fist was so strong it created a hole in its chest of Darwin.
But the undead knew no pain and kept fighting.
With the shields above the place where the Golem stood, the mages could not assist the summons.
Northspark dove closer and lunged his scepter right in hole of Darwin and shot a powerful attack through it.
"[Divine Lightning: First Tribulation!]" Northspark released a powerful spell that contained Light energy!
ZAP!
The lightning attack caught the golem in surprise and pushed the Dark Golem back.
"Enemies at the back! My traps have been sprung!" The Captain Huntress Meria sensed her Force Energy being triggered.
"We don't have time! We have to kill them now!" Menks shouted.
"Menks! Get your team ready to move back! We will concentrate on shooting another round to blow the entire area!" Northspark ordered as he began to gulp down several potions.
Angelica also prepared to launch another attack.
The summons fought to buy the team a few more seconds but they were being destroyed as limbs and parts were now missing from the punches of the golems.
Everyone readied their attack.
Menks took several of the potions that Colin was making at the back and prepared for a stronger attack.
"[Baleful Freezing Skull Spirit]!" Menks shouted as he sent the skull to launch its suicidal attack. There was no time and he quickly launched a strong attack on this soul skull.
It moved to pass through the undead and struck the golems creating a terrifying frost that contained great corrosive energy.
BOOM!
The Undead were unaffected but the Golems were all freezing.
"Attack now!" Laura shouted as she sent out her attack.
Ress did the same.
Two powerful magic were sent out.
Ress nearly fainted but managed to stand firm.
BOOM! BOOM!
Northspark prepared a great magic. And a power that could kill Commanders was appearing.
"Let's finish this!" Northspark roared and channeled the energy to kill the Golems.
