Chapter 362






'I don't like this situation . ' Lith thought .

'The shaman seems to always know where I am . She caught us unprepared twice, so it's likely that if I stand for too long in the same place, she may attack us from a distance . '

'Agreed . ' Solus replied . She had regained about half of her strength, but they couldn't afford to wait much longer . If the Sergeant returned with the reinforcements the crystal would be lost .

'We need to aim for a quick exchange . We have to get there fast, before she can siphon any element so that we can Blink in for the kill . '

Lith nodded . That kind of approach was outside his comfort zone, but there weren't many options left . He took off, flying at full speed towards the location where he had killed most of the members of the Grey Wolf tribe .

Ragh'Ash hadn't gotten far . Moving the holy crystal was a delicate job . She couldn't fly with it . If anything happened and the spell was broken, the holy crystal would be lost . She just made it float a few centimeters from the ground, pushing it while she walked back towards the camp .





The silver lining was that thanks to the constant contact, she could sweep her surroundings from time to time to check on Lith's whereabouts . As soon as Ragh'Ash noticed him getting closer, she knew only one of them would come out alive from their next meeting .

<"go back="" to="" the="" village="" and="" hide!="" if="" i="" don't="" return="" within="" a="" few="" minutes,="" run="" away="" and="" never="" turn="" back!"=""></"go> Ragh'Ash ordered . The youths never thought, even for a second, that the shaman was doing that to protect them .

Her only purpose was to protect the last members of the tribe, who were too weak to be of any use in actual combat . Ragh'Ash had seen how Lith had turned her own living bomb against her orc warriors . It was a mistake she couldn't afford to repeat .

She watched the two youths disappearing in the woods as she pondered about her strategy . Ragh'Ash wasn't used to fight alone, without any warrior providing her assistance .

'The demons' magic is unpredictable . ' She thought . 'My only option is to overpower them quickly with the help of the holy crystal . If only that stupid beast helped us earlier, I wouldn't be in dire straits now . What kind of pet doesn't protect its owner?'

The earth trembled below her feet . It was the only sign that the creature was still following her . Ragh'Ash called it her pet, but its motives were still a mystery . It had helped her to survive many times, yet its timing was always unreliable at best .

Ragh'Ash placed her hands on the crystal, channeling air magic through it to conjure a huge storm cloud above her position . Monsters' mastery of magic was shallow . Due to their Fallen nature, they would seldom be able to research complex spells and would even more rarely pass them down .




In a 'might makes right' society, sharing knowledge or power was like digging your own grave . That limited the shaman's knowledge to the first three tiers of spells . Thanks to the holy crystal though, Ragh'Ash could replicate tier four spells' effect or at least equal their destructive power .


As soon as Lith spotted the shaman with Life Magic, he also noticed a pillar of mana going from the ground to the sky . The storm cloud was pitch black and covered a radius of 100 meters around the shaman's position already .

'She's stealing my thunder, literally!' Lith thought . He was actually scared by how fast Ragh'Ash had summoned such a huge thundercloud . It was something he was still unable to do .

'I wouldn't worry about that . ' Solus chimed in . 'There is something wrong with the ground below her feet . I thought the lack of earth element in the world energy was confusing my perception, but even now that the balance is restored the anomaly is still there . '

'What kind of anomaly?' Lith's paranoia sense was tingling . Life Vision showed him nothing but trees, grass, the shaman, and the crystal . Yet he didn't doubt Solus's words for an instant . He knew here senses were far better than his own .

'It's a blur, so I can't tell you what it is nor how strong it is, but there's something moving there . It could be some kind of spell, a creature, anything . Just be vigilant, okay?'





Lith mentally nodded as he charged the Gatekeeper with all elements but light magic . As soon as Ragh'Ash's eyes met Lith's, she unleashed a natural lightning so big that its flash turned the whole world white for a second, almost blinding her .

Lith was able to react in time only because he had done the same thing in the past . The moment he saw a pulse of Ragh'Ash's mana reaching for the thundercloud, he Blinked behind her back, aiming for her head .

Lith's timing had been impeccable, the precision of his lunge surgical . Yet instead of relieving the shaman's neck from the burden of its head, Lith was sent flying before he could even understand what was happening .

Something big and black had jumped out of the ground, as nimble as a shark after a seal . Solus had no way to describe it if not as a worm, but it was a worm like she had never seen before .

Its skin wasn't pink nor soft . The creature looked like made of obsidian, with several bumps and deformities all around its body like a lazy artist had given up the job halfway through .

The worm was as big as a bull and about 4 meters (13') long . Its gaping mouth was big enough to easily swallow an adult man whole . Solus could see it had multiple series of jagged teeth which somehow were rotating at high speed like a buzz saw .

It had been the impact between the teeth and the Gatekeeper to thwart Lith's death blow . When the clash happened, the enchanted blade managed to resist the teeth's destructive force, but it couldn't escape their grasp .

The centrifugal force had spun Lith and the blade as if for a split second they had been trapped inside a washing machine, before all the accumulated magic in the Gatekeeper had forced the creature to release its prey .

Between the impact and the spinning, Lith's vision was a blur . Yet the black worm wasn't faring much better . It writhed on the ground like a beached fish, spitting blood and teeth before reaching again for the safety of the earth .

'What the heck was that?' Lith and Ragh'Ash's thought in unison . Whereas Lith was wondering why the magical beast had interfered, Ragh'Ash's was shocked by dimensional magic .

Both the magicians recovered quickly from the surprise, moving on to their own plan B . Lith Blinked away, not giving the shaman the time to aim at him with a second lightning while Ragh'Ash's embraced the crystal starting to chant a second spell .

Lith threw against her several Fire Roots, to force her to interrupt her casting and focus on defending the crystal . Yet the moment the Alchemical tools touched the ground, small holes opened below them making them disappear .

When they exploded a few seconds later, they were already gone so deep that the explosion was completely muffled by the ground, sounding more like farts . Everything happened so fast that Ragh'Ash didn't even have the time to notice the threat .
