Chapter 251: One At A Time

Seeing the cloud finally start to open, Tiff just kept running because she knew the Temple Head was the one who would be fighting this first of the Demigods that would be coming down to get them. And she was hoping that by the time the second one got down here the first Demigod from their side would be here to help them. Continue reading on No_veLbIn

Seeing the dark figure stream towards them from the now open cloud and a shield of light blocking it for about half a second Tiff knew the Temple Head was already doing her job so Tiff took the chance to look back at the sky. Seeing two new clouds starting to spin, Tiff knew she was right that there would be someone other than the Temple Head to protect her from the next Demigod.

The next cloud that opened was one of theirs and Tiff stopped paying attention to what was going on behind her and just focused on running to make this battle as short as possible. If she kept looking she would have to stay out on the road so she didn't run into something but this would make her trip longer since she wasn't moving in a straight line towards the Holy Domain's capital.

It was one of the benefits of moving towards the Holy Domain. For whatever reason they had decided to make a spire on the Alchemist guild that you could see from really far away. That being said she had seen what was planned for the Alchemist guild in the fake city and the spire there had been visible from the Light Domain.

She was just happy the war wasn't currently threatening the city or she wouldn't have been able to see the Alchemist guild because of their barrier. Hearing another loud noise and another wave of odd mana sweeping across the landscape Tiff knew another Demigod had come down from above.

She wasn't sure what this element was called but she could tell it was probably based off of the Dark element originally so they were probably on the enemies side. It was fine because a second later a much more comforting wave of mana came down and countered the darkish mana that had just swept through.

It seemed the God of Light wasn't just waiting to send his people to save their time; he planned to send the counterpart to whoever the Demon Lord sent down. She guessed this was a smart tactic at their level since the majority of demigods were skilled in magic. This meant you needed to counter each other or you wouldn't have much of a chance at a real fight.

It would just be two people using spells that had no business being used down here around mortals. Hearing another loud boom Tiff knew leaving Dawn back at the gate had been the right call. They were about the same speed if they went all out so she wasn't worried about being slowed down but the size of some of the attacks that were happening behind her guaranteed that Dawn would die on the chance one of them hit them.

It had been a few hours since they lost anybody so he was sure teamwork was the most important thing on the walls. The only people that were getting taken were those that tried to do something fancy or lost their cool. That was why the losses had been so much worse at the beginning.

Feeling a spell hit the part of the wall he was reinforcing, Donny took the time to repair any damage that had been caused to his formation before he looked to see if anyone else had taken damage from that attack. It seemed it had been a direct hit on his part of the wall and everyone else was just fine.

Turning back to Fendis he said. "Have you heard anything about what it's like out there?" Fendis didn't spend as much time asleep as the rest of them did since he was able to use Wind Mana to do his job for him so he had more chances to talk to the people on the other shifts. "They're saying we're starting to make some real progress killing the Demon Worshipers but the attacks won't end until we find the person who can turn all the bodies into undead."

"Less spells to defend against though." The undead outside were mostly the mindless type that didn't use magic so once they got through the Demon Worshipers they wouldn't be getting hit by so many spells. "What, you want to be out on the wall that bad?" Thinking about it Donny started to nod and said. "I would rather be out there. I'm a fighter first, then a mage." At least when it came to combat.

Donny saw Fendis look at him so he looked over more and saw Fendis staring at his highly damaged sword. "What are you going to do with that?" Knowing Fendis was right that his sword was pretty much useless at this point he said. "I picked this up after my spear was destroyed. So I would get a new spear then go out on the wall."

"You know they do let the mages go out there as well and I've seen you use magic to destroy the gargoyles so maybe you should just ask to see if they need someone out there."

"I don't think they need a Metal Mage out there when there isn't any Metal Mana. You're more likely to get out there than I am."

"I'm not exactly what you would call deadly. I just started my training in Wind magic and my spells don't make it past armor."

"It looks like we'll both be staying here then." Donny truthfully didn't mind standing right here until this was over if it was what he needed to do but he felt bad about the fact he could probably make a difference in the fight if he had the chance.

The chance would come even if he just waited patiently so he had no need to go and bother someone about getting to fight. There was no way the people in charge here in the fortress would waste so many talented mages inside once the walls were no longer getting bombarded. They would need them outside to help destroy the bodies past the point where they could be used to make more undead.
