Chapter 552
Even though their improvised trap had been a success, Lith lived it as a defeat . The enemy had forced Solus off his arm and stolen her from him . She had left of her own will, to prevent Lith's limb from being ripped off and then planned the counter attack with him via their mind link .
Lith appreciated the brilliance of their plan . It had created an opportunity and broken the slippery stalemate they had been stuck in, yet he didn't like it one bit . He had already spent one lifetime being robbed of everything and everyone he held dear .
Lith wasn't willing to lose anything or anyone else . After losing Carl to a drunken driver, after almost losing Solus due to Nalear's scheming, Lith had sworn that as long as he drew breath, his destiny would be his own .
Clean Slate had hurt Solus, and her pain was his pain . In Lith's eyes, Yozmogh was Nalear back from the grave, attempting once again to take Solus away from him . Lith was happy the Balor couldn't die, because it meant there was no end to the pain he could inflict him .
Solus did her part, forcing Yozmogh to focus on his rotting body and almost forget about Lith's existence . When he darted forward, the Balor activated his other four eyes . Ratpack emerged from the shadows on his blind side, spinning above his head the bundle of chains and envelops that was his 'enchanted chainmail' .
The small undead threw it at Yozmogh's head and hitting him with a thud . The chains melted over his face while the burning letters set the Balor's hair ablaze . The sudden distraction plus the close range made the elemental beams' trajectory telegraphed .
Lith dodged them and struck at the white eye, pumping bolts of lighting inside of it so that they would strike the Balor's brain and burn the surrounding tissues . Yozmogh screamed in outrage as his light wing went dark .
"It works! I knew not even master so cruel to deceive Ratpack . Chainmail really is Balors bane . " He said as his Coward's Mantle made him ethereal again . Taking a cheap shot was one thing, facing Yozmogh was another .
Without the eye to store the light element, the white wing was no better than a pigeon's . Now only the black wing's jamming effect remained . Solus pushed forward with the last of her energy and spread the dark energies to the creature's lungs .
Darkness fusion prevented Yozmogh from feeling pain, but he still needed to breathe . His body wasn't able to follow Lith's speed anymore . The Balor extended his left arm to grab the Ranger, only to have it deflected to the side as Lith struck at its exposed elbow with his own .
No matter how strong the enemy was, joints couldn't be trained . With his right arm turned into a pulp and the left one shattered at an unnatural angle, Yozmogh couldn't react when Lith moved behind him and ripped off his black and yellow wings .
Solus's spells had corrupted his lungs to the point that he could barely breathe . After that, she focused the dark energy against the Balor's eyes until only empty sockets remained .
Yozmogh was helpless as a newborn in front of an adult as Lith removed his wings and then his legs .
'Are you alright, Solus?' Lith asked as soon as she returned to him .
'Peachy, thanks . I'm just exhausted for going all out . I need to use Invigoration or it will take me hours to recover . '
'Take your time while I fix the last details . ' Lith took out the Gatekeeper sword and opened a Warp Steps that sent Yozmogh inside one of the closed cells .
Lith couldn't afford to kill him, otherwise Dann'Kah would become even stronger by assimilating the lich's life force that resided within the Balor's battered body .
