Chapter 640 Training Dummies
"This woman!" Angus growled, crossing his arms to guard, engulfing his whole body with shadows.
Eris's body flashed with holy light, exploding in a massive burst of holy magic.
Everyone closed their eyes, evading the blinding flash as the dream walkers got burned by the holy rays.
Holy magic is the power of the gods. It's their element, and it carries their will. It harms devils, who oppose angels. It burns the undead who defy life. It burns the vampires who terrorize the night and clear the world from everything that the heavens deem unclean.
"There is no way the gods would let you off the hook!" Eris lunged from the expansion, seeing that Angus had covered himself in a ball of shadows to absorb the holy light.
She clenched her fist, "Give me Arad back!"
Plasma crackled from her fingers as she plunged her open hand into the shadows, piercing all the way to Angus and grabbing him by the neck.
Angus gasped, seeing her glowing red eyes staring at him from the hole. With a spark of lightning, her arm ignited beside his neck, exploding in a massive burst of plasma.
Angus got blasted back, his bones still hurting from the holy magic. ^I need to get some distance and heal. My shadows can't fully block her expansion.
VROOM!
Eris flew after him, her whole body engulfed in plasma. [Death Butterfly] She kicked Angus in the face, plasma jets pushing her soles forward to increase the force of her leg.
As Angus got sent back, she smacked him in the face with a punch infused with a divine smite.
Amber sat on a charred corpse in the back, looking at the dream walkers surrounding her, afraid to get close. "Eris could throw hands with Arad. Do you think it's wise to think of her as a lesser being?" She lifted her hand, [Firestorm]
"She fights like a vicious drakaina. I bet Arad loves her so much," Claug smiled, sitting in place as she swung her tail left and right, smacking the dream walkers as if they were bugs.
"You can help a bit more, can't you?" Jack shouted, glaring back at Claug.
"I'm a physical fighter, but I can't fight freely here without stomping you. And my breath is extremely toxic. I can use it, but you'll all die a slow painful death and doubt humans can live in this land for decades." She replied.
"You lived for hundreds of years! You must have learned a spell or two!" Jack growled once again, pointing at her.
"I can do this," Claug smiled, her body shifting to look like a silver dragon, "I can change my look. I learned it while trying to morph into a human, but I failed in achieving that,"
Jack then looked back, "AW! Shit, traps are running out. Gotta set more," He pulled a small bag from his magic bag and rushed into the battlefield.
"What's that? It smells weird," Claug said, looking toward him.
"Black powder that I had Lydia bless it," Jack smiled, "It's now a holy black powder."
"That's sacrilegious," Claug sighed.
"Wait until you hear about this!" Jack waved his arm, firing his hook toward one of the dream walkers, latching onto its head.
He pointed his arm cannon at the abomination's eye, "You can bless molten metal like you bless water," BAM! With a single shot, he blasted the creature's head into pieces.
"Holy bullets, wires, and toxins, there are a lot of things you can make with a bit of creativity," An evil smile, crossed his face. "Lydia! Plan L,"
"Got it!" She shouted, stopped using divine smite, and instead only wounded the dream walkers, leading them toward Jack's traps.

Kayden looked out of the wagon on Claug's back with a passive face, "Those are but the front-line soldiers, like how human guards amount to nothing when facing adventurers. Those don't amount much," He turned toward Kali, "Can Arad win alone?"
"Who do you think he is?" Kali smiled, "He'll save himself. We have to worry about Doma," She pointed down, "Help them,"
Kayden looked down, his eyes landing on Alcott jumped from one dream walker to another, slicing and dicing them like chicken.
"Don't want to," He mumbled,
"Why?"
"He reminds me of Chad,"

Alcott lunged forward, swinging his sword at one of the dream walkers, slicing his arm off in a single swing.
The abomination tried to jump back, but Alcott spun after him, dicing his arm and face, then used him as a jumping pad to lung into the sky.
The dream walker looked up, "That's the main problem! Focus on him!"
Alcott stored the sword in his bag as if it was never there. He then quickly pulled a massive bone bow.
"Dragon bone bow?" Claug gasped, "That massive thing is made from the ribs of an adult dragon, and its string is woven from the webbing of our wings,"
"I thought he sold that thing," Ginger gasped, seeing him pull a massive arrow, two meters long, and with a tip made of magic crystals.
Aella pulled her bowstring, firing several arrows at Angus to support Eris, and then looked toward Alcott, "He can use bows?"
BAM! Alcott fired the arrow down at the abomination and pulled a second one almost immediately. Upon impact, each of them exploded in a massive burst of fire.
BAM! A dream walker rushed forth and jumped into the sky, going behind Alcott, ready to strike him down.
In the blink of an eye, Alcott stored the bow back into his bag and pulled a large Eastern fan. With one swing, the air generated pushed him out of the way of the strike.
As the dream walker's strike missed, Alcott had already stored the fan and pulled a long chain, throwing it at him and latching it to his neck. With one pull, he flew toward the dream walker and pulled a long halberd from the back, stabbing him in the chest.
"Fighters lack the magic of the casters. That is why most of them choose to master one weapon to its utmost limits. Alcott on the other hand seems to have chosen to master several weapons, but give each of them a specific use," Kayden looked down, "I'll deal with the Dream Walkers king if he appears, but those are decent training dummies for them,"
