Chapter 940: Shadow
With the huge scythe blade swinging towards him, Sage finally felt a bit of threat from this Count Voctem. Before the weapon could strike him a large figure appeared in front of it. A nearly ten foot tall figure appeared between the two of them and interposed its body between Sage and the scythe. The large form used its hand to grab hold of the scythes haft, rushing forward to slam its body into Count Voctem. In the process the blackish-green energy as well as the blade it surrounded connected with the figures shoulder. It sank down to the center of the figures chest before the pair of large hands managed to clamp down on the scythes haft and stop its motion.
At the same time, Sage twisted at the waist and neck to face the servant and his mouth opened. The aura surrounding him pulled back from his lips and a torrent of brilliant white flame was expelled towards the spindly man that was crouching a dozen feet behind him. Faced with the evil dispelling fire of the First Light, the servant rolled and scuttled away like a huge four limbed spider. This freed Sages feet and he stomped hard, sending him rapidly into the distance. A moment later, he felt a little pained as the figure holding back Count Voctem crumbled. The Blacksilver Knight had already been halfway sliced through by the scythe, and then the energy surrounding it finally impregnated its armor. Somehow this power not only damaged the Blue Icesilver and Black Enhydros, it also sliced apart some of the Soul Fragments that he used to control and power it.
Having not really suffered much damage to a Soul Fragment over so many years, it was painful to feel this sudden loss. Hed also not had a lot of use for Soul Fragments and had prioritized his own soul rather than making more fragments. This seemed to be a bonus at this time as they were much weaker than his main soul and so the loss he felt was greatly reduced. Even so, he realized that the name Soultaker was not just for show. The Blacksilver Knight fell apart, no longer able to maintain its current shape with the loss of so many Soul Fragments. A pile of black tar and bluish mercury spilled onto the ground. Then, a large portion of the materials reformed into the smaller Blacksilver Pawns and fled quickly from Count Voctem. These smaller oily fellows rushed towards where the spindly servant had crept off to, using their numbers to try and suppress the man.
At the same time, Sage also rushed backwards, opening up some distance between these two enemies. The servant could lock him down in close range and Count Voctem had that powerful scythe to look out for. While backing off he moved closer to the cage of trees and after dodging a few of their tentacle-like whipping roots he moved back towards the central area. There wasnt a whole lot of room here for him to maneuver with the large carriage, Cerberus, and whipping roots. If he wanted to avoid the two people as well it would be quite limiting. Of course, that was the strategy that Count Voctem was aiming to rely upon by bringing him here.
Not sure how to deal with this new development, he quickly focused on a few loose ends instead. Behind Sage a half-dozen silvery cylindrical objects appeared floating in mid-air. Then they spun in place, pointing towards the servant in the distance. They glowed brightly and then streaks of light shot from them, rushing towards the servant who was hiding up against the tree cage.
Grikori!
Count Voctems concentration was broken for a moment as he worried for his subordinate. He crouched and slapped his hand on the ground. The soil rippled, forming a small trench in the ground that shot out towards the place where the servant was dodging rapidly to try and avoid the beams of light. Some of them hit his limbs, tearing holes clean through them, but he was able to avoid hits to his vital points. When the trench reached the tree near him the tree suddenly expanded, spreading wider and pulling the servant behind it. The beams of light struck against the tree and blasted holes into it. Voctems eyes widened and he pushed more energy into the ground, making the tree shielding the servant, Grikori, even thicker and wider.
Sage gave up on the rapid attack and then turned to look at Voctem again. As he did, the Shard Rifles floating behind him twisted and shot into the Cerberus and the large carriage. The servant was heavily protected, but the carriage and the Demonic Beast were torn to shreds and crumbling to the ground.
