Chapter 1824 1824. Just A Little Water
"The undead heavy guard is the one in armor. It is the toughest here and has the ability to move without control. It is somewhat mindless in that way. It only wants to attack and defend. It is here to protect this place or wherever it is moved. Be careful since it\'s already being strengthened by those priests. But the mummified priest leading them has a debuff, we need to counter the rotting attacks it will hit everyone in the area with."
Sharing the information from the all around appraisals was a key, but also sharing that these two specific undead were the most dangerous was the most important fact. Especially since the mummified priest had already started to make a move while the lesser mummified priests were attacking as well.
"Midnight, start it off right!" Walker knew that Midnight had prepared and been holding an attack. The light elemental mana she had condensed was easy for many to sense, but Midnight was especially prepared to show it off. She didn\'t even need to be told twice, instead, she moved to the front of the group while the soldiers waited to be able to charge in at the mummified worshippers that were already reacting to their appearance.
Normally, the light elemental breath attack would be powerful, but since Midnight had held and condensed the light elemental mana in her chest longer and longer, she had been able to make it fuse with her golden flames. The white breath that spewed from her maw was much more dangerous to the undead or anything that was within its range. And that range had also extended.
"She fused her natural golden flame heart with the light elemental mana to create a fire and light fusion breath attack. Ignus and I should be able to use this." Rise sounded impressed But Ignus just huffed at her for suggesting that they worked together. He was stubborn after all, not that he didn\'t begin to do so anayways.
The two watched as the white flames hit the multiple mummified worshipers and even caught on to some of the mummified amalgamations. Even the darkness attacks sent by the lesser mummified priests were destroyed. It was the simple purifying effect that was added to the flames by the condensed light elemental mana.
Walker knew that it was the same as the attacks he had used on the undead in the first ruins they had ever gone. Unfortunately, these undead could rebuild themselves and his white flames would not be able to maintain a constant burning on them if they repaired themselves after they burned.
Rise had breathed in and so had Ignus. The two had come behind Midnight who had just lost her mana and needed a moment to gather herself. While the two had not clearly said they easily cooperated in fusing their skills, it was actually child\'s play to them. They understood light and flames well enough to make the two cooperate without much effort.
That was why everyone was easily accepting the second wave of more powerful white flames that came together and struck out over the many undead in front of them. While the duration was intentionally shorter, they had more mana behind them. Midnight\'s attacks had hit the mummified undead and managed to weaken them. The combination of Ignus and Rise attacking had been powerful enough to break away some of the runes that were on the coffins. They had perfectly interrupted multiple undead starting to awaken.
"Charge now!" Mordant gave the go ahead to the soldiers to push forward. He saw the opening and the weakened mummified worshippers. He himself, started to move through the shadows and ambushed two of the larger mummified amalgamations. He was certain that he could handle them in one single claw attack which would open up another path for the attacks coming from others.
The first ones that saw this were Remey and Gil. Remey moved with a much faster pace to take the lead and ignored the undead Mordant had just struck down. She had the lesser mummified priests in her sights while Gil brandished his daggers behind her. He was slicing at runes while he moved but also utilizing his flow of elven dagger techniques to maintain the safety of the area around him.
Any mummified worshiper that even got near him and Remey was slashed down in a single or dual cut. The daggers were sharp enough to sever the wrappings over the dried flesh and bones. But even more, Gil was using his refined eyes to be able to slight directly at the joints of the undead. Therefore, the attacks caused arms, legs, and even some ribs. His attacks had greatly damaged them due to the extreme accuracy. He was even appearing to be in a flow better than what Walker had seen him doing before.
The speed that the undead were being defeated was more that Walker could keep up with. He was glad that some of the earth mages had been there to cover the other undead in sand and earth to trap them before they could rebuild themselves.
Unfortunately, the entire army felt the sudden lowering of their abilities as they were hit with debuffs. The mummified priest had been able to gain enough space and time to attack while the undead heavy guardian was moving towards the first of the soldiers near ut.
The debuff was weakening their defenses and would only keep pushing them. Therefore, Alice was forced to start her song. She would have been attacking but right now she had to focus on buffing everyone. She knew that Walker was going to use his multi buff skill over and over, yet, that would not do as much as she could.
The sweet words that came from Alice were enough to promote a calming sensation to everyone\'s minds. But the light that radiated around as some of the Rize angels tossed their own light elemental crystals around to boost the light elemental mana was better. It brought an invigorating feeling that also slightly healed upon contact. The light was similar to strings reaching out and briefly touching those that were most affected by the debuffs from the mummified priest.
When Su saw that the undead heavy guardian was moving toward the front row of soldiers without a care for the mummified worshippers, she pushed her way ahead as well. She watched the undead heavy guardian crush many of the mummified worshippers before lifting a large stone coffin cover and throwing it toward them.
The clang of Su\'s shield slamming together along with the sharp crack of stone was enough to make everyone shiver. But Su stood strong. She was only pushed back slightly because of how quickly she had reacted. She was not some weak woman here, she was the draconic guardian that had grown more and more powerful every single day.
"Let\'s see what some weak undead can do! Huh!? Think you can even lay a hand on me!" The taunt that rang out made the undead heavy guardian focus solely on her. It was perfect for leading it to crush more of the mummified worshippers while avoiding her allies.
"Defend!" the shout of warning came from Gil as he noticed all of the undead spear throwings had been guided to attack together. All of them were targeting the same what a battalion of archers would. They threw bone spears at the soldiers instantly and at the same time. If Gil had not had a dangerous feeling he would not have noticed to even shout let alone use his daggers to deflect one of the bone spears.
"Healers, pull back the injured and remove the bones. Have the earth mages seal them." Walker saw that no one was close enough to push in and crush the undead spear throwers. That meant he had to stop sealing undead and take the initiative here.
Without any hesitation, Walker pushed forward and began stepping through the air with the wind ripple skill. The dual swords appeared from his high spatial storage. The slight flicker of lightning reminded everyone of the lightning style he was able to use that made his movements quicker. But more importantly, Walker drew in light elemental mana from all of the light elemental skills being used.
The coating of light elemental mana that formed over Walker\'s dual swords seemed to react with the remnant white flames. Walker could only wish there was water around. He had the sense that he would have been able to call real lighting at the moment.
"Walker, use what I have!" Current had been silent and reserving his strength. But since he could tell what Walker was sensing, he reacted. The instincts of a royal dragon were truly worlds apart from others. Especially from one so versed in water elemental man that he could see where it would fit in ideally.
The feeling that Walker had as soon as Current sent a mist of water in to the air made his entire body feel like it was guided by an unknown force. Fire, water, light, and air elemental mana fused nearly effortlessly. But the addition of light elemental mana appeared to be the ideal boost to what Walker wanted to do.
Bright white sparks rippled off and around Walker\'s dual swords as he slashed at the undead spearman. Their bones cracked and shattered while the force of lightning spread around them. Walker could only breathe in a quick gulp of air before he turned and slashed at five more undead spearmen to his left. He could read the system later for whatever skill he had managed to gain while in a small state of enlightenment.
