Two black wings beat across the battlefield as blood was spilled around him, the death mage is completely focused on his offensive against Raven who has no ability to help her dying minions, on her back at the hands of warriors and mages.
He is not the only one busy, the plague mage is also still very involved with Ana and Mia, but unlike her leader she is on the defensive which is a very dangerous place for a mage but when the mage is a plague mage this position also means danger to your enemy. Ana's solid defense isn't perfect as nothing in the world is, so after fighting the plague mage for so long her solid and hermetic defense must have already been pierced by some of her enemy's magic.
From a distance I can see the emerald light trying to spread over Ana's body but her aura is keeping it contained on the outside of her body the green color is barely past her skin but that doesn't mean she's not just spreading over her body Ana's speed and short plus constant expansion is an impressive feat on Ana's part.
It can't be easy to keep the plague magic under control while she attacks and defends against the plague mage, even though she has the help of Mia who are shooting fast lightning bolts, long snakes and slow lightning balls to keep the mage down. From the plague on the defensive, Ana's body and mind must be suffering a lot of stress and wear, I don't think she can maintain her fighting ability any longer.
The more plague magic accumulates in your body the faster your body will fail, and when that happens the plague mage will be free to try to turn the tide. But I also can't doubt Ana's tenacity or Sean and Milena's violence, Sean keeps needlessly killing the cultists, but I was surprised at the aggression and destructive power Milena is putting into her arrows.
Fire arrows pierce members of various cultists, each arrow hitting one cultist's end unappreciated. Cultists fall to the ground because the knee they support during their fights is gone, forearms are destroyed causing them to drop their weapons Milena was avoiding killing them, but she wasn't avoiding pain.
But thanks to their high-performance arrows that are draining your aura and energy at ridiculous speed, they are saving the lives of several warriors on our side. The faint emerald fog that blankets the field may not have killed anyone, but it has already begun to weaken a good chunk of the warriors' strength that are still keeping the cultists busy.
This plague mage is really strong, an elite raised by these damn cultists even trapped by Ana and Mia she is still capable of doing this damage on the battlefield. I'm afraid to imagine what she could do if she was free during this fight, most likely the green core warriors on our side would already be almost all dead or too weak to fight the cultists.
With the pressure increasing on the mage leading the necromancers he finally tried to kill or seriously injure Raven, he dove against Raven after preparing his offensive, as he advanced several black spears formed around him and their points are in Raven's direction, but that was just one of his direct attacks.
His staff has become a black spear of concentrated energy that for some reason I feel can turn into a scythe, the energy accumulated on one side of the staff's head is very suspicious. The tendrils of energy solidified into chains that tried to embrace Raven and pull her against the black spears the mage had just conjured, a classic offensive is deadly even for a defensive warrior who was at Raven's level.
The amount of energy employed by the mage is deadly to the point that all the grass that was still green on the battlefield withered with the aura of death released by the materialization of the death mage's attacks.
Being focused by all that death energy and her target getting closer to her, Raven's plan worked and now it's her turn to 'hunt' her opponent. A black armor covered by a black defensive cloak changed in a drastic way, I could see Raven's core turn into a volcano.
A massive and savage amount of fire elemental energy and quite a bit of aura exploded from Raven's core to her entire body, the shadows that covered her turning to deadly black flames. Like a phoenix of black fire, his cloak turned into wings of black fire that added momentum to Raven's onslaught, which was so strong that the ground beneath her shattered into a crater at least three feet in diameter.
Using her two-handed sword as the beak of her black phoenix Raven broke through the black spears that shoot at her as if they were made of glass, the mage's element of death can have a great ability to weaken his enemy, but when facing the flames Raven's black powers, it was broken because of the difference in raw destructive power of the two elemental energies.
Raven's deadly sword made its deadly arc leaving a trace of fire in the air and hit the black staff that was being used as an improvised defense of the mage, he didn't have a chance at all to manage to dodge the black flames coming his way. The black staff momentarily resisted the black fire sword that spewed deadly flames that appears to be able to burn the mage's mana and elemental energy.
When the energy of death was burned by the black flames it was the turn of the wood and mana that embodied the body of the black wood staff, the staff only broke in front of the desperate eyes of the death mage who now finally sees his death coming to him when the blade of black fire came against his head.
But as Raven had no intention of killing him, her black fire sword turned the blade on its side, but that only means that the mage will not die being cut in two, but rather that his skull was crushed by a blast of black fire that caused his entire body to catch fire. The black flames seem to have a great ability to adhere to the mage's body and feed off the element of death he used as armor.
The mage who had risen like an angel of death completely releasing his energy trying to give hope for victory on his side, turned into a black fire meteor crashing to the ground covered in dead grass marking the cultists' defeat. Without the leadership of their fearless or terrifying leader, the cultists saw their end coming, this includes the plague mage who unleashed a massive emerald venom wave across the battlefield.
She has probably already given up on winning and is trying to run away, without having to watch out for her former allies she has unleashed all her might to try to buy time to run away. I could see her running hidden across the plain but I didn't have to intervene Ana fired at her like a cannonball or in her case like a black mountain mine, not knowing how her enemy could defend herself she advanced using her wind element to gain as much brute strength as possible to hit the mage who just turned her back on her while trying to run away using her life element to strengthen her body and a high-level wind element tool.
But that wasn't enough to make her dodge the boulder that was being thrown at her body, using the shield as her only form of defense Ana hits the plague mage with all the force she could generate in that short run. The solid mana shield that protected the mage from the plague and the second emergence shield that sprouted from her cloak when the first one was cracked like an eggshell met a stone.
Realizing that her escape was impossible she didn't release a magic but took a vial out of her cloak when Ana hit her directly, I'm sure she has some more kind of magic tool or kind of magic to increase her body's physical defense, but I doubt she isn't in enormous pain from being crushed by Ana.
I'm too far away to hear her bones breaking, but that didn't stop me from seeing the vial she had in her hand being opened and thrown at Ana who had grabbed her body to hurl her to the ground. When Ana was holding the plague mage's slightly crooked body, a liquid that had an extremely dark red color to the point of appearing to be a mixture of a lot of black and a little red was thrown over Ana's shield for luck.
Her shield started to melt, the aura and rock condensed in the shield was completely corroded by the dark liquid, only the high-quality metal of Ana's shield seems to be able to hold this liquid for a while. Ana didn't even realize the danger of the liquid, but she followed Raven's extrusions exactly.
Before the ambush Raven warned Ana of the danger she would face against possible enemies and one of the scenarios she would have to fight with a plague mage, Ana was instructed to avoid direct contact with anything the plague mage uses as much as possible. during battle, even touching his body is extremely dangerous, but the latter could not be avoided.
Wind that the mage was holding a flask Ana quickly used her wind element to throw her shield against the mage's hand crushing the fingers she used to hold the flask, the shield that was already covered by a thin layer of the substance was stained by more of that. liquid when falling on the floor with the bottle. The force of the blow was very great and causing the impact of the flask on the ground to release even more liquid, Ana violently slammed the plague mage against the ground trying to make her black out before she could use any other magic or trick.
As the mage beneath her had a strong body from having the element of life and an orange core, Ana didn't hold her strength against her very much. With both hands free she beat at the mage at lightning speed, before the heavy green snow the mage released as she tried to escape began to disperse into the air.
The mage should have already had a good part of her bones and organs injured, Ana really took out all her fury on her. Apart from the dead who must still have felt less pain than the plague mage, the figure as deplorable as the mage would be the death mage who must have lost a good layer of skin to the black flames.
The crater covered in fire where Raven continues to attack the mage who by the way still retaliated against her, was covered in black fire making it difficult to see the details of the end of the clash between the two. But that doesn't change the outcome he's screwed and we've managed to capture some cultists, the annoying goat will have to start treating the cultists after the warrior's finish neutralizing them.
The longer it takes the greater the chance of the warriors dying because of the severe bleeding that several of them have, and probably from the poison that was dispersed by the plague mage in the end I highly doubt the cultists will not be affected or killed by this magic.
