Chapter 930 929: Cleanse the Unclean

Summoning yet another cloud of contained blizzard orbiting around a sphere of ice, I shot the Fiend once more and turned my focus down onto the battle happening in front of me for just a moment, wanting to ensure that everyone else was handling this horde of Undead well enough without my direct support.

The slow, resilient Undead stumbled forwards and clumsily swung or bit at the Demons, only to reel back as a wave of flames crashed down over them, their flesh bubbling and contracting on their skeleton as they began to combust, only to continue walking forwards anyways as they tried to claw and snap at the Demons once more.

Only when their Cores were broken did they finally become truly dead, and that required the targeting of those organs that lay deep inside the various monster's bodies, but it was no difficult task for the seasoned warriors around us, least of all those that fought with brute strength and simply cleaved through their opponents in one or two blows.

With their situation adeptly handled, I turned back towards Nua'Fel and studied the towering Fiend, its filthy and greasy body slowly becoming more resilient to the frost that crept along its flesh as it plucked out each sliver of ice with its mana, dissolving the spells that were targeting it and allowing it to return to the fight, though that was an opening enough for me to decide how to go about this.New novel chapters are published on

"Anput! Start pulling back to me!"

My mate nodded, her gigantic blade dancing between three separate Goblins that were shuffling towards her on an uneven gait, the Jackalkin killing them before leaping back to stand by my side, tilting her head curiously as she waited for further instructions.

Before I said anything else, I traced out the runes for another spell and launched a beam of ice at the Fiend, taking it by surprise and capturing its attention again as I forced it to defend itself, its size becoming a disadvantage as it gave me more surface area to target and more surface area for it to have to defend, which when paired with its slow movements, made it easy to take the Fiend out of the fight.

With it focusing on not becoming a frozen mountain of fat, the Fiend wasn't really able to hear me as I quietly said "It's covered in oils and not exactly the quickest, right? So I want to take advantage of that; you're going to turn it into a pincushion with metal rods, as many as you can. Long, thick, and able to resist corroding away upon contact. Make it seem like your just aiding me at first, before launching a large quantity of them, alright?"

Anput nodded, confusion etching her features as she tried to understand where I was going with this, only to smirk as I muttered "Ammit." to her, the Jackalkin getting it instantly as she took a step to the side and began to launch lances towards the Fiend, splitting its attention to two separate attackers now.

Individually, the Fiend was a problem, yes, but it seemed to have easy enough weaknesses to exploit; its size, its movement speed, and its arrogance were all easily exploitable, and when paired with the sheer variety of tools I had to work with to get this job done, it was unsurprisingly easy to come up with a solution.

The wordless shrieks of pain that burst free from its thin lips were like music to my ears, and Ammit seemed to feel similar as she sent another few bolts arcing towards the Fiend, adding another layer of intensity to the blanket of pain that was being wrapped around the Fiend, each one gradually turning Anput's lances from silver to a glowing orange.

The power increase made Nua'Fel's skin go from green to black as well, the Fiend slowly crisping over as each bolt jumped from lance to lance, and with new lances being added to its body, the spread of the voltage was only increasing, allowing for it to be shocked in numerous areas at the same time now.

But, even as it gradually burnt before us, I said "Ammit, charge up a stronger spell, but hold it for now. I'll enhance it with my Wind Mana... I have a feeling Nua'Fel has something in store for situations like this."

She nodded, and not even a second later I was proven right as Nua'Fel let out a loud shout, sickly green mana exploding out of its Core and corroding the various lances stuck inside its body, freeing itself from its electrical prison and from the burning, searing pain of being electrocuted over and over again.

The shout turned into a roar as it covered itself in mana, shielding itself from a few of Anput's new lances as the metal rusted over and fractured upon contact instead, whilst the few that made it through cracked and dissolved a moment after penetrating Nua'Fel's body.

"YOU..! I..! I'M GONNA KI-!"

lightsΝοvεl ƈοm Another resounding crack of electricity filled the grotto, and Nua'Fel staggered backwards as a pronged bolt of lightning sped forwards and slammed into its Mana Cloak, the heat burning away the Decay Mana as the small amount of Lust Mana and sheer heat of the Fire Mana did everything possible to breach that shell.

Slamming against the flesh beneath, the bolt ripped out a large chunk of flesh and revealed the silvery bones below, which seemed to conduct electricity rather well...

When a second bolt slammed into the exact same place, the Fiend once more shouted out in agony as its ribcage redirected some of the electricity, dispersing it throughout its body and causing it to seize up and spasm, only to let out a pained gasp as the bolt traveled towards its Core.

And as the third crashed down onto its chest, we got to witness the swift demise of an incompetent Fiend, and the familiar dinging of the System notifications made me chuckle and shake my head.

That was two easy battles over with, though this one... this one was quicker, all thanks to the Fiend itself...
