The cold wind was blowing slowly, and the brightness in the environment had lessened. The weather was excellent; it's a pity no one was paying attention to it. Two different Armies could be seen battling against each other. The land became wet from the blood and sweat of the soldiers.
The soldiers of the Demihuman Army could be seen breathing heavily; they became slower and more stressed as the battle progressed. This might not have been a big deal if their opponent was of a regular species, as the opponent would also have been tired. Unfortunately, their opponent neither bled nor sweated. It could even revive if its head were not destroyed.
The opponent they were facing was all made up of bones. There was a flame in place of their eyes. Whenever they looked, it felt like they wanted to devour them. Black smoke was released from each skeleton soldier. The soldiers were at a disadvantage, but there was still hope in their eyes. They checked in between the main battle and the situation.
On one side was the Royal Knight, one of the three Mystics of Gnoll village. He was clad in a metallic black Armor from top to bottom, and despite being made of metal, the Armor didn't stop his movement. A blue-colored cape was dancing in the wind on his back. He looked at his opponent with his yellow-colored eyes visible from his helmet.
His Sword sliced through the air. A sword slash made up of fire started approaching his opponent. A silver-haired boy could be seen receiving his attack. A Glacial blue-colored shield appeared before him that carried a chill presence. In the smoke, he was revealed again. An armor made up of crystalized Ice could be seen on him.
On his hand, a black-colored spear appeared covered in a layer of Ice. The boy then smiled, and a green glow surrounded him. All the cuts and wounds on his body closed and started healing at a rate visible to the naked eye. The Commander stomped in rage when he saw the boy's smug smile.
The area around him started changing. It turned into a land of flames. His whole body started to burn. Then, he jumped at his opponent and started swinging his Sword violently. The circular land of fire with a one-meter radius followed him, and Rishi used his 'Frozen Sheild' spell again.
Each attack by Commander carried a massive force with it this time, and Rishi also started feeling burns all over his body. He used 'Ice Enhancement' and covered his whole body in a layer of Ice. He felt better, but he still realized that his shields and Armor were not able to stop the attacks.
He moved back, and he started wondering what the reason might be. A golden glint appeared in his eyes, and he soon realized the reason. "True Damage, I am receiving true damage that Shields and armor can't stop."
The battle continued, and no matter how well he defended, he could not stop the Gnoll Commander from injuring him. He would have lost if it had been any other person, but Rishi was different. His body was multiple times tougher than other fighters. His Icy Body didn't give him much physical defense, but when talking about Magic defense, this was the specialty of his icy body.
Even after his defenses, he was still injured, but at that time, his Passive regeneration helped him recover minor damage while he used his skill to recover fatal damage. The battle continued. Rishi was still confused about what type of technique his opponent was using, but after some time, he understood what it was.
His opponent was using a semi-zone; It was an incomplete zone. When he realized that he had decided to maintain some distance from the Commander and continue fighting, he showed that he was critically injured and on his last breaths, but as the battle continued, he was somehow able to battle. The Commander lost his patience and raised his hand. A fire vortex surrounded him.
The Sword shone red and grew in size, becoming a five-meter-tall sword of fire. He then used it to slash at Rishi. When he tried to defend, he realized the opponent's attack was amplified further. He could not win with him if he fought usually. He looked at the attack coming at him.
The attack touched his body and passed by it as if passing by air; the figure of Rishi dissipated as if it were never there. The Gnoll soldiers cheered, thinking their Commander had won, but there was no joy on the Commander's face; he was scanning his surroundings.
A Chakram appeared out of nowhere and attacked the Commander. The Gnoll Commander cast a barrier skill and quickly stopped the attack. The battle continued, but with time, the Gnoll commander became more frustrated; his opponent would attack him and disappear.
If he discovered his location and tried to attack him, he entered the Gnoll Army backlines and escaped. He was in constant conflict over whether to attack or not. It was not that he had not attacked. He was stopping himself because only his people had died from his previous attacks, and his opponent was an expert at escaping.
It was already sunset. Darkness surrounded the battlefield. The undead cried and started attacking with more power. The Gnoll soldiers, who were already in a bad situation, could not defend against the empowered Undead Army. To sprinkle salt on the wound, Vinay cast the Buff and Debuff spells again, and the other two teammates have also joined the battle.
The battle continued. It was then that they heard the roars and cries of strange creatures. The next moment, four humans appeared, riding on strange creatures. They started attacking the Gnoll Army and blocking their path to retreat. Rishi looked at the situation and summoned his contract beasts; he commanded them to attack the opponent.
He then attacked and used his first technique of 'Ghost in Shadow' Chakram Art. A bigger and stronger invisible chakra appeared in his hands. He created three more and launched them at the opponent; he then used his second technique, turned it into a black smoke, and entered one of them.
The Commander was ready. He sensed an attack from his instincts and used his defensive skill. The two Chakrams were stopped successfully, but the barrier was also broken. He used his Sword and was about to attack the third Chakram. It was then that a black mist appeared from the Chakram and turned into Rishi.
He pointed his finger at the Commander and used the advance 'Chains of Shadows. Multiple thick black-colored chains appeared from the shadows and bound the captain. The captain used his attacks and was able to break them, but the next moment, three black-colored pillars appeared around him.
He was unable to move the next moment. His incomplete Zone disappeared as he was suppressed. Rishi then used his Ice Enhancement and Sword Aura to increase his attacks damage before releasing his Chakrams. The razor-sharp blades entered the formation and started bouncing from one pillar to another. The Armor was cracked, and multiple wounds appeared on the Commander's body.
It continued for three seconds. The Commander appeared again. His body was filled with wounds, and he was struggling to even stand. In a moment, a spear covered in Ice tore through the wind. It carried a cold wind with it. The spear peered through the heart of the Commander and appeared from his back; the body of the Mystic stopped as he cried in Agony.
His eyes, filled with hate and regret, closed, and he fell to his knees. Rishi stored his equipment before joining his guild members to attack the Gnoll Army.
