Chapter 363: 363






'Seriously, what the f*ck is that?' Lith inwardly cursed at the worm . 'There is no mention of such a creature in all the bestiaries I own . It doesn't seem an Evolved Monster but it's not dumb either . How strong is its core?'

'Unknown . I can't see the mana core just like I can't see its life force . I can barely pinpoint its location by following the anomaly it creates in my mana sense . Either that creature has special abilities or that black stuff covering its body it's not skin but a jamming device . ' Solus replied .

'This means I'm not just facing a shaman, but also another unknown enemy . There's no way someone that can't even use dimensional magic has tamed or equipped the worm . ' Lith was seriously considering to give up on the crystal .

Whoever had the talent and the means to shield something from Solus's senses had to be at least as good as her maker . Even if he managed to slay the beast, its owner wasn't an opponent he could take lightly .

Ragh'Ash completed her chant opening a channel between her and the crystal . Now she could not only access to all of its powers without the need of the physical contact, but also could use the crystal's energy like it was her own .

It was a desperate move for desperate times . The longer the channel was open, the more likely Ragh'Ash was to die from mana overload . Until then, she would have access to an almost infinite supply of mana .

The first thing she did, was to wrap the holy crystal with the strongest materials the ground had to offer . That way she could completely disregard its safety and focus on the demon .





'Incoming from your 4!' Solus warned Lith, who darted upwards just in time to avoid the worm's charge . It moved so fast, causing only such small trembling in the ground s mouth that without her warning Lith would have never noticed it .

The worm's mouth was wide open, which allowed Solus's spirit magic to feed it a generous serving of Fire Roots, Black Lotus' petals, broken lightning wands, and a sprinkle of green pepper .

As someone who had studied Alchemy during the last four years, she knew exactly what kind of ingredients were never to be mixed . Unless, of course, one wanted to trigger an uncontrollable chain reaction that resulted in the death of anyone in a ten meters (33') radius .

The first explosion made the worm squirm in mid aid, messing with its landing . It hit the ground with the same grace of a wet sock before starting to dance around like a firecracker . Smoke, blood, and teeth came out non stop as the explosions grew in frequency and power .

Lith had barely the time to grin at his partner's brilliance when Ragh'Ash raised her hand and unleashed a barrage of spells like Lith had never witnessed before .

The ground below him shot rock spikes as big as an arm, the air surrounding him became so cold that frost formed over Lith's clothes as a hail of fireballs and a lightning storm struck in every direction leaving him no way out .






The shaman's glowing eyes meant she too was using Life Vision . He couldn't Blink recklessly, if Ragh'Ash understood how to predict his exit points Lith's dimensional magic would become useless .

When Lith disappeared from her sight, Ragh'Ash turned around, expecting him being right behind her . She had no idea the spell had a limited range, so she assumed the worst and reacted accordingly . Yet Lith wasn't there .

He was nowhere to be found to be precise .

Since the worm's stone hide hid it so well from Life Vision and mana sense, Lith had Blinked behind it to use it as his cover . The worm was still writhing as it coughed smoke and blood, yet the creature refused to die .

The final explosion was strong enough to crack its shell, but not even that seemed to be able to put it down . The worm emitted high pitched noises that gave Lith the creeps . They sounded too similar to the cries of a newborn .

<"there you="" are!"=""></"there> Ragh'Ash yelled when the crystal revealed to her the demon's position . She didn't care for the worm, resuming the assault while calling forth another lightning from the sky at the same time .

'How can she have so much mana?' Lith inwardly cursed before Blinking away .





'The cold is so intense that if not for my natural resistance and the Skinwalker armor I would be already hallucinating . '

'It's the crystal . ' Solus explained while keeping an eye on the worm . 'It's like she has a cyan and a purple core . The good news is that her body is already collapsing from the exertion . The bad news is that, at this rate, you will die before her, so please do something!'

Each Blink brought Lith higher until the rock spikes couldn't threaten him anymore . His survival took priority compared to giving away how Blink worked . Luckily, he had mastered true dimensional magic, so Lith could Blink while weaving another spell .

Ragh'Ash aimed the natural lightning for Lith's exit point, timing the spell so that he wouldn't have the time for another Blink . It was the flash accompanying the thunderbolt that revealed her the truth .

Its light was reflected on a throwing dagger near her feet . It wasn't an enchanted weapon, so not even Life Vision could detect it . She didn't have the time to wonder how long it had been there that her world turned upside down .

Lith was exactly where she had predicted, but the lightning wasn't . It was about to hit her instead . After each Blink, Lith had negatively charged himself to repel the incoming lightning and positively charged his set of throwing daggers while Solus spread them in a diagonal line with spirit magic .

Only a small part of the thunderbolt struck him, but thanks to earth fusion Lith managed to escape from the clutches of death . All the remaining energy followed the path of least resistance Lith had created, aiming for that last dagger Ragh'Ash had just noticed .

'Physics rocks!' Lith thought as he fell to the ground .

Fear froze the shaman to the point she couldn't even close her eyes . Yet much to both magicians' surprise, she survived . The worm that they had left for dead came out of the ground in front of her and shielded Ragh'Ash with its body .

Not even the black armor could resist the power of nature . The cracks caused by Solus's Alchemical cocktail expanded until it was destroyed, revealing the creature inside .

It was a Rock Worm, a magical beast pretty common inside underground dungeons .

'What the heck is it doing here and why did it save the shaman?' Lith inwardly cursed at the beast .

Ragh'Ash didn't have the time to rejoice . Her body was very close to collapse and for some reason, her strongest weapon had been turned against her . To make things worse, her pet had fallen too .

She had no choice but to use her last trump card . Every time a shaman used the holy crystal, their bond became stronger . The crystal gave them mana and they gave it bits of their life in return .

An expert shaman could feel those bits and use them to access the memories of the past shamans . It wasn't even a spell, it was simply another kind of exchange, a bit of life of a bit of the past lives of others .

Ragh'Ash could only hope that one of her ancestors knew a spell capable of killing the demon and that accessing it wouldn't cost her sanity .
