The Earth team’s were completely exhausted, It was apparent that the violent and relentless battle against the Uruks had some effects on them. Their body started to feel heavy and sluggish, a sign that their stamina had been almost quenched to its limit.
The group had managed to kill hundreds of the Uruks, creating a scene of carnage in this plane of existence. Unfortunately for them, there were still five hundred of the same exact Uruks who currently came charging in their direction with feral savagery seen clearly on their faces.
Realizing that the two people who defended the two sides of the bridge started to get tired as well as him, Julian quickly shouted. “Let’s move back!!”
The group quickly understood what Julian was up to when they heard that. Immediately after, Emery as well as Thrax started slowly making their way back towards the floating orb while still repelling the Uruks lunging at them.
The moment Julian gave the signal, a beautiful smile instantly appeared on Klea’s face.
“Finally, my turn!!”
The next moment, the girl lifted her magic staff high to the air and began channeling the strongest spell in her repertoire. Billowing streams of wind began to blow around her figure as the spell gathered its energy and was completing its cast.
[Storm Haze]
Klea’s spell harmoniously combined wind, lightning, and water elements together to create a devastatingly powerful spell.
The reason she had been holding back on the previous fight was exactly was for this moment.
The gem embedded on the tip of the magic staff on Klea’s hand started to emanate an extremely bright glow. The sky gradually darkened as a violent storm materialized over the bridge, striking terror to those who saw it.
Emery and the duo kept getting pushed back by the waves of the Uruk hordes, and if no one noticed what Klea was currently doing, the situation on top of the bridge where the group was as if the Earth Team’s acolytes were about to be overrun by the ferocious hordes.
Blocking the several attacks that the Uruks simultaneously sent at him with the shield on his hand, Julian couldn’t help but grit his teeth due to the force he received. He shouted loudly what he had been dying to know. “How much time do you need, Klea?!”
The Egyptian Queen, however, ignored his inquiry. It seemed the former was too focused on her task to reply to such a simple question.
On the other hand, Emery could feel an abundant amount of spirit force had engulfed all parts of Klea’s body and declared their presence on her. Numerous streaks of lightning flashed and trickled all around her figure while her two eyes were shining brightly.
A moment later, the girl’s feet began to separate from the ground as her body slowly floated into the air, which was followed by heavy rain pouring from the storm clouds above their heads.
Understanding that the moment was nigh, the four boys immediately ran closer to each other and stood next to the orb shoulder to shoulder. Immediately, Emery prompted the spirit energy within his body and cast the [Granite Wall] spell, creating a dome-shaped construct that covered all four of them.
It didn’t take long for the granite dome to tremble as the Uruks began smashing their weapons against it. Some even tried to ram their bodies into it in hopes of destroying it. They continued to attack the granite dome protecting Emery and the others with all they had until they were suddenly distracted by a sudden rumbling sound of thunder.
Shazaaammmmm!!!
A deafening sound that could easily burst the eardrums of a normal person resounded through the air, and even Emery and the others who were in the protection of the granite dome could feel their eardrums ringing slightly.
A streak of lightning flashed across the horizon and hit one part of the bridge, instantly killing a few of the Uruks who were still trying to piece together what had happened.
Shazzaaaammmmm!
Another bolt of lightning struck and managed to hit one of the Orc Champions randomly, causing it to let out a loud scream filled with agony. It was enough to send it kneeling on the ground, writhing in the painful sensation of being charred alive.
It was, after all, a tier 3 lightning element spell that was being empowered by a magic staff and cast by a rank 9 acolyte.
After a dozen lightning bolts that successfully and randomly killed several dozens of the Uruk, the hordes of grey creatures lift their heads to the sky, only to see that there was something else coming down from the sky.
The dark storm clouds could be seen slowly moving in a spiral pattern, and it unexpectedly descended from the sky as it was being pulled by the gestures of the levitating female magician.
[Cyclone], a Tier 5 Wind element spell.
This one particular cyclone was built through her combination spell, hence its color was unusually dark and overflowed with lightning sparks in it. Naturally, the degree of destruction it could’ve caused had risen exponentially thanks to that.
Seeing such a catastrophic phenomenon, the Uruks who were known to be fearless stopped their bombardment against the granite dome and unconsciously took a few steps back. Alas, it was simply too late and there was nowhere for them to go.
It slowly made its way through the bridge, sending dozens of the Uruk to the air and killing them by either ripping them apart with its hellish winds, burning their bodies into charcoal with its lightning bolts, or throwing them off the bridge and into the bottomless void below.
The cyclone created such chaos that all of the Uruks who had still not received the chance to enjoy it immediately turned around toward the stone gate. Countless expressions, most of which were terrified, could be seen on their faces as they desperately ran toward where they came from.
It took Emery and the others, who were still taking cover behind the granite dome, ten minutes to finally feel that things had calmed down outside, that it was all over. Knowing that it was now safe to get out, Emery quickly let go of his control on the [Granite Wall] spell.
Emery and the others were astonished at the sight that unfolded before them. The middle section of the bridge was already cleared of any Uruk and also wrecked beyond belief.
There were merely a few dozen Uruk left on the two opposite ends of the bridge, but their condition was far from the word fine. Complex expressions were seen on each and every face of Uruk who survived.
Klea’s spells had killed the majority of the enemy, at least 300 of them and leaving only less than 100 on each side.
This was one of the tactics the group had prepared beforehand, a tactic that combined the special conditions of the arena, the nature of Klea’s super spells, and calculated timing.
This tactic wasn’t merely about Klea wreaking havoc like the goddess of death.
While Klea was busy reaping lives left and right with her spell, Emery cast [Nature Blessing] on his three friends. And now that ten minutes had passed, all of them had basically returned to their optimal condition.
Klea slowly descended from the air, her face had lost a bit of its color. Emery quickly grabbed the girl and said, “You should rest now. We will take it from here.”
There was a moment of awkwardness between them as their eyes met one another. However, Emery quickly turned his gaze away, toward the enemy’s last desperate charge.
Even though there were only a hundred or so Uruks left, Emery could see at least two dozen Orc Champions among them. There was also the Orc Warchief that stood in the middle of the horde.
Gripping the two swords in his hands tightly, Emery’s eyes glittered with determination as he shouted.
“Attack!!”
