Adding the flames that had already spread across the area, and we now had a large flaming cyclone that would give even a grandmaster-level existence a run for their money.
The original 500m radius was exceeded and Pride's 'allies' now found themselves more occupied with running away from the range of her spell than fighting undead.
Strangely enough, the pulling force of the cyclone was weaker on the nearby living beings despite dragging the undead towards it with more than three times the force.
This cyclone raged for a full minute, leaving any surrounding undead helpless against it.
Two of the elite Dullahans arrived on the scene and attempted to use large-scale earth, water and wind-attributed elemental skills to interfere with it but it was futile as the water was quickly turned into vapour by the flames while the earth joined the debris spinning round in the cyclone.
The Dullahan with the wind-attributed skill tried to cancel out the cyclone by generating his own cyclone around it that rotated counter-clockwise, however, it was futile as the force of the Tier 3 spell overwhelmed his 'meagre' control over wind and his skill was forcefully cancelled.
Just when they thought the spell was over as the winds began to die down, Amy finally decided to take the stage, returning to her full humanoid form and generating a huge great sword that was taller than she was with black flames.
Her feet dropped to the ground and she released another intensive wave of black flames that caught one of the Elite Dullahans off-guard and knocked it to the ground.
At this point, Pride had begun working on the third lightning spell, a tier 2 one this time as the skies above them began darkening slightly.
"Ah…shit!"
One of the Senior Mages exclaimed as he noticed the magic power gathering in the sky, turning his gaze back to the giant cyclone where Amy took a stance, converging the wave of flames she initially released into her flame-constructed great sword.
Immediately after, she spun her body around and swung the sword forward, releasing a wide slash of flames that transformed into a huge five-metre-tall tiger.
The tiger roared wildly as it shot through the air, crossing the hundreds of meters of distance within seconds, before pouncing towards the Dullahan and biting on its upper body with its jaws, at the exact same time that Pride activated her spell.
A bolt of black lightning dropped down from the skies and onto the body of the Dullahan, hitting it together with the flaming tiger and resulting in an elemental explosion that made the earth shake and the sky rumble.
***KAAABOOOOMMM!!!!!
A huge black mushroom cloud of smoke fire and lightning rose up into the sky while shockwaves spread out in all directions on the ground.
Both allies and enemies were affected by the shockwaves that knocked them off their feet while devastating everything that was within a radius of over 10 kilometres from Pride's position.
In the middle of this scene of devastation, was a high demon who was down on one knee, panting lightly as she used her sword to prop herself up while downing multiple potions with her other hand.
The Dullahan that Amy had targeted was on laying on the floor a few hundred metres from her position, currently on its last legs as even a level 150 could kill it with a single strike at this point.
In fact, the only reason it even survived the attack that had majority of its force concentrated on it was because of its high durability as a grand master-level existence, but even that was overwhelmed by the high demon and her contracted spirit's combination attack.
The other grandmaster-level Dullahan who was caught in the blast radius was also sufficiently harmed, but it wasn't enough to put it on the brink of death like its companion.
Naturally, its next course of action was to eliminate the one who had reduced it to such a state, and what better time to do this than when the being in question looked exhausted and could barely stand on her two feet.
The axe-wielding undead kicked off the ground and shot through the air, crossing over a kilometre of distance in barely four seconds and activating a skill as it swung down its large axe to cleave Pride in two.
However, the eyes on its head that was hanging on its waist widened ever so slightly, half a second before a giant earth-constructed arm emerged from the ground and punched it from the side, sending it flying.
"If the hero of the previous generation who sealed you because he could not kill you found out that I of all people was saving you, I can only imagine the sort of reaction he would have."
A voice rang out as a fairly tall dark-skinned man with distinctive red irises approached Pride while dragging what was left of the corpse of one of the grandmaster-level Dullahans.
"Even if you hadn't interfered, I would have been able to handle the situation."
Pride replied to the man as she cancelled the activation of her Incarnation of Pride's half-body avatar, getting to her feet and tossing the empty potion bottle in her hand to the ground.
Amy jumped back onto her shoulder after shrinking her body and deactivating her Breath of Fire skill, yawning lightly as she turned to face the incoming man, Yetu, with a blank gaze.
As a grandmaster-level existence, Yetu noticed the skill deactivations and shrugged his shoulders before muttering something about how his help was unneeded.
"Indeed, it was."
Another voice rang out, with Pride turning her gaze to the side and looking at the woman who was responsible for joining Yetu in reducing a grandmaster-level Dullahan to the piece of flesh the man was currently dragging on the floor.
'The Zylwenys woman.
It seems she has her ancestor's powerful light and gravity magic.'
Pride thought as she acknowledged Tisha with a nod while the green-haired woman felt that Pride had gleaned some sort of secret from her.
The high demon appraised Tisha with her eyes, before tapping her shoulder and making a remark that the mage most certainly did not expect.
"The magic circle woven into your robes is slightly flawed, but it's a good try for someone as young as you are.
Keep it up and you should reach Leoglor's level in a few years' time."
"Wait…what?"
Tisha didn't even know whether to ask why Pride could somehow recognize the flaw in the magic circle on her robes, something that only those of the Zylwenys family should recognize, or why the high demon was speaking like she personally knew the first Patriarch of her family line.
However, she would not get the chance to voice out her questions since her other party member came into the scene and committed an act that was basically a taboo amongst adventurers.
Kill Stealing.
Long story short, the idiot killed the Dullahan who Pride and Amy had left on the brink of death, gaining the bonus experience that came with being the one to deal the last blow.
And Pride obviously wasn't pleased with that, something that was very obvious from the way her eyebrows twitched repeatedly as she looked at the seven level-up notifications in front of her.
Notifications that would have been a lot more if she had dealt the last blow herself.
