Frey intercepted Eldritch as she immediately engaged battle against the most powerful player there. Lycan, Kabrakan and Solstice looked at the others and saw that the remaining enemies are not easy to handle. They have to deal with the remaining enemies that are ready to kill them in any instance.
"Should we escape while Eldritch is fighting against Frey?" One of the Followers of the Dark gods asked.
"Are you crazy? Can you outrun a werewolf?" Seam stated as she was also part of the ones that came to rescue the Followers of Apophis.
"I can block them, but I cannot do it by myself. My master said that I need to complete this mission at all costs because she might ascend once she gets the reward from the Distorted God Apophis." Porom stated as he created a small flesh doll that looked like a smaller version of him.
"I think the woman would be the easiest one among them." One of the followers of Apophis stated but Seam actually slapped that man's cheek for thinking like that.
"That is the Vampire Princess, you idiot. She is the most dangerous person here because she can use blood magic. You are lucky that the sun is still up or else she might be able to overpower all of us." Seam stated as she knew that Solstice was the most powerful opponent compared to the other two.
"Let us combine our efforts to kill the three people while Eldritch is playing with Frey. If those people are here, then The Demon is not that far from this area as well." Porom stated as he casted a spell on the flesh doll that he created which suddenly made it a humungous monster that is five times its normal size.
"I thought you guys will never move." Lycan stated as he has already transformed half into a werewolf.
Lycan aimed his claws at Porom's neck, but he was blocked by Seam's gigantic scissors. Lycan immediately took distance as he felt danger from behind. Lycan ducked and returned back to Kabrakan and Solstice' side.
"Tch! As expected of a wild mutt." One of the followers of the Dark Gods stated as he was an assassin class player wielding two curved daggers.
"I almost got my heart stabbed through my back." Lycan stated.
"I told you to be alert as they are not the only ones that we need to take on. Our priority is to kill the Vessel of Apophis and not kill the Followers of the Dark Gods." Solstice whispered.
"I will create a distraction then. Make sure to kill the vessel while I get all the attention." Kabrakan stated as he slammed his two shields which created a powerful vibration that was sent through the ground.
"Beastification!"
"Wilde Soul!"
"Mountain King Armor"
Kabrakan suddenly transformed into his full beast mode as he now looked like a minotaur. He then activated his Wilde Soul which created an astral copy of himself outside. He also changed his current form to that of the Mountain King Armor which significantly increased all of his defenses when touching the ground.
"Go my pet!" Porom stated as he commanded his large flesh abomination charge towards Kabrakan and the others.
Kabrakan easily met the large flesh abomination's charge as he is heavier in his Mountain King Armor. He was not even pushed back even by an inch when they collided. The attacks on Kabrakan did not stop though as the long-ranged enemies hit him with arrows and spells.
All the damage from long-ranged attacks were not that effective though as most of it was mitigated towards the ground. Kabrakan's Mountain King armor has incredible defenses against long-ranged attacks as crusts of the soil would suddenly form and block some of the damage. Kabrakan only gets 30% of the total damage that long-range attacks and spells do in his current armor.
Lycan did not sit idly by as well and charged whenever he could find the chance. Lycan would aim for the mages or archers as they would be easy to kill but he would get intercepted by Seam and two other assassin players. The followers of the Dark Gods could not believe that they were being zoned by only two individuals.
The followers of the Dark Gods believed Seam's words regarding Solstice which is why they are looking at her with wary eyes. They are already getting pressured with just Lycan and Kabrakan. What more can they take when Solstice joins the battle, but they noticed that she was not moving.
"Something is not right." Seam suddenly thought as she parried Lycan's claws with her weapon once more.
Seam suddenly had a bad premonition as she released a large mana needle towards the location of the leader of the Followers of Apophis. She did not aim for the leader of the Followers of Apophis but the area next to her. As if Seam's predictions came true, a red plasma liquid suddenly materialized below the leader of the Follower of Apophis.
Solstice made use of the soil to create a hole using her own blood and traverse it towards the Vessel of Apophis. She brandished one of her swords and aimed it towards the flesh cocoon when a large mana needle impeded her attack. Solstice reflexively blocked the large mana needle which made all the enemies that were not focused on her become aware of her existence.
"A chance like this will not come again." Solstice stated as she took out another blade and attempted to kill the Vessel of Apophis.
The leader of the Followers of Apophis would not let anything harm the vessel that they are carrying. She immediately or rather forcefully turned his body around to take on the attack. The leader of the Followers of Apophis screamed in pain as blood came out of her back, but she was able to safely secure the Vessel of Apophis.
Solstice missed her chance once again and retreated back into the hole that she created by turning into blood. Solstice returned to her armor and could not believe that her luck was bad. The leader of the Followers of Apophis crashed to the ground as her wound was not simple because it was done by Solstice' Blood Weapons.
"Hurry and heal the leader of the Followers of Apophis or else Eldritch will reprimand us." Seam stated as she knew that she cannot just protect the casters on her side.
Seam needed to go on the offense which is why she used her special ability to create a living doll copy of herself that has all her abilities. The living doll copy of Seam would defend the casters while she headed towards Solstice. Lycan tried to intercept Seam, but the living doll copy and two assassin players blocked him from getting to Seam.
Seam used her large scissor weapon and attempted to cut Solstice in half, but her soul weapon collided with the latter's armor. Seam believed that her weapon would easily pass through the armor that Solstice is wearing because that is the nature of her soul weapon. Her soul weapon deals magic damage and can cut through or pass through armors easily, but this interaction did not happen.
Seam's weapon clashed with Solstice armor and created a sound or a reaction of metals ringing. Seam felt her soul weapon vibrate as if she hit a large pillar with a rod of iron. Solstice was not safe from the ringing as well as she felt the vibration all over since her armor reacted.
"A Sacred Armor!" Seam stated as this was not the first time that she felt this sensation.
Sacred Armors are armors that are said to be created using an unknown process like soul weapons. Unlike soul weapons, sacred armors are even rarer because of the enormous use of materials to make them. Sacred Armors are also relics of powerful beings which are considered national secrets of each kingdom.
Seam already knew that Solstice wears a golden armor during the day, but she thought that it was just a cover to make sure that she will not get hit by the sun. She did not expect that the golden armor was actually Sacred Armor. She is no longer confident that she could handle Solstice because of her Sacred Armor.
"Why are all of them decked with powerful gear!?" Seam stated with an annoyed tone.
"To think that you know what my armor is. It does look different at night though, but your weapon is unique as well. Let us see who will win in a battle against your weapon or my armor." Solstice stated as she took out two blades using her Blood Magic: Weapon Creation.
Solstice and Seam started their battle with each other while the battle between Eldritch and Frey started heating up. Eldritch thought that he could just take his time and slowly tire down Frey while the others deal with the other three enemies. When he looked down, he was severely disappointed because the other three enemies were not even dying but pushing back against them.
