Chapter 944 - Small Town Doomsday
Chapter 944 Small Town Doomsday
The blade-discs spun furiously as the winds blew violently.
Blade Princess Katherine fighting at full force was like a metal hedgehog, spinning wildly around Greem. Her sharp metal hand blades caused Greem’s Inferno Shields to loudly crackle as they struck over and over.
Meanwhile, the metal blades spinning around her were slicing into Greem’s defensive spells as well. An Inferno Shield with over three hundred and fifty points of power was reduced to cinders in less than three seconds.
Fortunately, Greem had created seven of these Inferno Shields all at once. Thus, he barely managed to hold on until he cast the next spell.
Due to the existence of the planar suppression and the difference in planar laws, the instant-cast spells of the past now required two to three seconds of chanting and hand gestures to activate. That was why elementium adepts were at a natural disadvantage in close combat, with far less fluid and natural movements compared to Katherine’s mechanical magic.
Flame Pillar!
A Flame Pillar smashed outward with Greem as the center, the stone tiles beneath his feet rapidly softening and melting from the extreme heat. Soon, the tiles had turned into flowing magma.
They might not have been the targets of the adepts, but the shockwaves created by the reckless battle between two Third Grade adepts were enough to obliterate the entire town.
Neither of the two adepts was at their peak. As such, the offensive power they had wasn’t sufficient to instantly defeat the other. Thus, after a difficult battle, Greem chose to retreat without any hesitation.
Using the high-grade Fire Dragon’s Breath stored within his pendant, Greem forced back the Blade Princess and quickly summoned a Flamegate. Hundreds of fire creatures immediately swarmed out and rushed at Katherine.
Though these fire creatures could not harm her, they could keep her stalled on the other side of the bridge. With this short time Greem bought for himself, he chanted his spell and used FIre Teleportation to flee the battlefield.
The enraged Katherine swung her spinning blades, executing most of the fire creatures in a single slash before charging across the stone bridge and smashing the Flamegate into oblivion. This way, the fire creatures lost their source of reinforcement and became much easier to deal with.
The Blade Princess couldn’t be bothered to deal with the summoned creatures. She walked to a spot on the battlefield and picked up the metal particles left by the destroyed blades before tracking Greem in the direction the fire aura had vanished.
Having lost their target, the remaining fire creatures started to wander in the flames that were burning wildly in Lakeside Town.
The sea of flames spread wherever they went, turning all things into ashes and the entire forest region around the town into a zone of death where nothing living dared set foot!
At this time, the two otherworldly Third Grade adepts had shifted their battlefields to new grounds. They started a massive game of tag across the depths of the Cedrac Mountains.
