Chapter 170 In The Middle Of Despair
Those bright blue eyes shone with concentration.
Aurdis' hands were at her sides with palms facing Laston as if to keep something from falling apart.
Laston gritted his teeth. His eyes widened with anger and shock.
The waves coming from the three Magic Circles around him felt strange.
The wave seemed to sever his magical power from its source. It felt like Laston was holding his Magic like a thread that had been severed and floating freely in the void.
'What the hell is she doing?'
Laston wondered. But as he asked, the influence of the colorful waves grew. This made his Magic ability disappear even more.
He knew that the Dark Elves had some kind of Magic to seal other creatures' souls.
The strange Magic that Aurdis used seemed similar. But Laston was sure that this wasn't Magic that came from the Dark Elves.
Before his Magic power completely disappeared, Laston used it for something he had prepared for the worst situation.
'For now, there is no other choice if I want to survive!'
Laston looked down. Towards the Elf castle which was now in chaos.
The palace that has been his home for a very long time. Now it has been hit by inevitable destruction.
Elves, his own kind, suffer from the curse of the Undead. And ended up being destroyed by the Forest Elves.
However, his mind that full of resolve returned. Laston already knew that it was too late.
If it was like this, then he could only continue with his plan.
Laston's arms opened to his sides. Black Magic energy shot out of Laston's palm and shot away.
Soon, the black Magic energy exploded and became two black vortexes. Two Portals connected to two horrible places appeared suddenly.
Aurdis who realized that gaped with trembling eyes. Especially when she saw what was starting to emerge from within those two Portals.
From one of the black Portals emerged a horde of pale green beings. With long arms and odd body proportions.
Then, from the other Portal came out creatures with reddish bodies as if covered in blood.
Their dark horns reflected the light from the Magic storm that was raging around. Adding to the horror of their form.
Aurdis could no longer maintain her concentration on her Spell. Her mind was already clouded by a feeling of dread and fear that made her freeze.
The Daemons of Calamity and Ogres Kingdom's army came.
They had come bearing clear doom for this Elven kingdom.
Laston saw Aurdis' expression from a distance. He didn't smile even though he saw Aurdis freezing in fear for the new enemy that come.
'I have no choice.'
Part of the Daemon of Calamity and Ogres Kingdom's army fell from the Portal.
The few who had sufficient Magic ability stay flew above.
They stared at Aurdis with hideous devilish smiles.
One of the Daemons who stays floating is Baldeem, the King of the Daemons of Calamity.
He grinned showing his ugly jagged teeth while looking at Aurdis.
"(Apparently, the Princess is having a hard time,)" Baldeem said.
"(Hey! Help me!)" Laston shouted angrily.
Baldeem immediately approached him.
Seeing the colorful Magic circle, Baldeem frowned in confusion.
"(What should we do with this?)" Baldeem asked.
"(I don't know. Just smack it with your axe or whatever. The important thing is to get me out of here.)"
After hearing that, Baldeem raised his axe.
His crimson ax glowed red full of foreign Magical energy.
Aurdis stared with widened eyes. Aurdis couldn't prevent what happened next.
*DANGGG!*
The ax hit one of the Magic circles. There's a crack popping up there, but it's not enough to break it.
Even so, Baldeem raised his ax again and smashed it again.
This time the crack that is created is getting bigger.
'What should I do?'
Aurdis was already drowning in fear. Her kingdom will truly end now.
Is this the end?
When she saw Aerchon, he too was staring in disbelief.
But a moment later he bared his teeth and screamed. Aerchon then shot back toward Laston.
However, some Ogres who could use Magic got in the way.
They fired Magic missiles, fireballs, and poison at Aerchon.
There weren't many Ogres. But if they combined their strength, it would be enough to deter Aerchon who was weakened from the fight.
Aurdis immediately darted towards Laston and Baldeem, knowing that she could not let Laston be freed.
It was an act of desperation as it was all she could do at the moment.
"(STOP!)" Aurdis shouted as she threw a dozen of swords of light at Baldeem.
Baldeem noticed Aurdis' presence, he turned his head and then swung his big axe.
*ZWOSHHH!*
With one swing, Baldeem sent a dark red attack wave toward the sword of light.
The wave of attacks blew away Aurdis' light sword easily.
Even so, Aurdis did not give up. She still pressed on to face Baldeem.
Baldeem grinned. "(I'm going to have fun with the Princess first.)"
"(Hey, don't be stupid! Let me go first!)" Laston said, demanding.
But Baldeem didn't listen. He darted to approach Aurdis without looking back.
"(You fucking idiot!)" Laston gritted his teeth.
But he wasn't completely hopeless. If Aurdis was busy fighting Baldeem, then she couldn't maintain full concentration on this barrier.
That would cause this barrier to weaken.
Laston tried to attack the barrier with his daggers.
Meanwhile, a terrified Aurdis must confront Baldeem.
Baldeem shot up and immediately slammed his ax down.
*DANGGG!*
"Ughhh..."
The ax hit Aurdis' Magic Shield.
Aurdis felt such intense pressure that it made her groan.
Baldeem smirked and laughed. He said something in Daemonic language that Aurdis couldn't understand.
Aurdis flew backward and then threw a silver spear of light at Baldeem.
But then again, Aurdis' attacks were no match for that huge axe.
Aurdis was no longer able to maintain her concentration on the Spell holding Laston.
Coupled with Spells that are actually premature, then the barrier Spell will be destroyed in a moment.
'Erend! I need you!'
In the midst of despair, Aurdis screamed Erend's name in her heart.
