Chapter 639 Equally Matched
“A weapons master and a deadshot; two Second Grades. Now, this is fun!”
Greem raised his head and laughed. Several new Fire Shields and Lava Shields popped out of his party and enveloped him tightly within their defenses.
“Come, all of you. Let me see what you Second Grades of Faen are made of.”
The faces of the two Second Grade elves turned around as the faint red Ring of Fire engulfed a hundred-meter space around Greem. Both of them retreated at the same time, barely making it out of the radius of the spell.
However, while they had managed to escape, other smaller creatures were in for a disaster.
The one hundred flower fairies and green fairies buzzing around the battlefield were still weaving through the crowd, screaming as they ran. The very next moment, they were howling in agony and frantically trying to leave this strange Ring of Fire, panicking like dragonflies that had fallen into the water.
Sadly, before they could make it too far, large bursts of flame started to burn on their bodies.
A whinny rang out. The female unicorn that was protecting her foal raised her horn when it saw the situation turning against them. A blast of Blinding Light landed upon Zacha. Even Zacha’s exceptional resistance couldn’t help him against this racial ability that possessed a trace of planar laws.
The next second, Zacha was utterly blinded by the enemy!
Just as he rushed forward furiously with spear and mallet in hand, the male unicorn rolled and climbed up from the ground. The unicorn charged forward and stabbed his horn deep into Zacha’s chest.
The unique purification ability of the unicorns caused the wind indurium armor Zacha wore to be completely ineffective. Even the tough and beautiful dragon scales underneath the armor couldn’t stop the horn from piercing into Zacha’s body.
The dragonborn let out a furious roar that stunned the entire battlefield. Zacha tossed aside his lightning spear and freed a hand to grab the unicorn’s horn. He then smashed downward with the Frozen Mallet in his other hand with such force that it stirred up a gale of its own.
Dong! A muffled thud. The male unicorn started to see stars. Its limbs went limp, and it almost knelt before the dragonborn.
Seeing that the enemy still intended to continue his hammering, the unicorn summoned all his strength to stir his horn while also calling upon more nature power to surge into the enemy’s body.
The female unicorn could no longer stand by at this point. It feared for its mate and quickly charged over with the foal.
Three big and one small. These four non-humanoid figures engaged each other in a deadly close-ranged fight in the center of the battlefield, fighting tooth and nail for every advantage. It was a bloody and horrible scene to behold.
Without the unicorns interrupting, Greem could finally unleash his full power in a showdown against the two Second Grades.
Seeing their companions dragged into the battle one after another, the two druid masters with long flowing braids of green hair let out battle cries of their own. They fully intended to join the fray now.
At that moment, both of them heard sinister and scary laughter closing in on them. A Second Grade dark witch was charging at them upon her flying broom.
The countering of her attribute caused the dark witch to be fearful of the two young unicorns. That was why she had been circling the skies instead of joining the battle. Otherwise, an unfortunate purification from the unicorns could easily wipe out a body of shadows like her own.
She had waited until this moment when the dragonborn was stalling the unicorns. It was now that the Second Grade dark witch cackled and charged at the two Second Grade druid masters.
The dark witch might be afraid of the unicorns’ racial abilities, but as a Second Grade being, she had nothing to fear about the druids’ nature magic. After all, in terms of magic technique and means of murder, a dark witch from the World of Adepts was just far too superior compared to two druid masters.
That was why she was utterly fearless, even when fighting against two enemies at once!
The Second Grade individuals had clashed with the other Second Grades. The rest that remained were naturally irrelevant small fry. These First Grade people might not have the ability to intervene in the battle between the Second Grades, but if they gained the advantage in battle and got into formation, they could still apply decent pressure on the Second Grades.
That said, the magical machine army was clearly stronger when it came to a comparison of First Grade units.
One could put it this way; on the side of the elves, only the six treant warriors and the dozen low-grade druids could deal any degree of damage to the magical machines. The other elves were basically harmless.
Their weak arrows and slender blades could not break through the machines’ thick armor. Apart from being one-sidedly slaughtered and beaten, they had no other options.
Thus, once the witches went to deal with the treant warriors and druids, the defensive line that the elves had barely been keeping up finally shattered!
