The temple's army ran amidst the waves of arrows raining upon them to clash against the soldiers. Their eyes blazing red and filled with madness.
Both sides clashed fiercely in the battlefield, instantly filling it with blood and screams. While on one side the sharp horns were tearing apart flesh on every contact, weapons were used skillfully to slay enemies on the other.
Rahen was going through the battlefield trying to provide help whenever he could. Some times he would succeed and save people while a few times he would fail and watched them die. He did not have time to mourn them though, otherwise his head would be the one to fall next.
It had been half an hour since the battle began when a bright green light shot from the commanding side of the army and landed on every soldier.
[ RECEIVED BUFF: BLESSING OF HEALTH ]
[ MAX HP +200
HP RECOVERY + 10/MIN
DURATION: 1 HOUR ]
Rahen received the message as the green light landed on him.He felt a wave of energy entering him, making him feel revitalized.
This move helped the soldiers that were slightly being pushed back explode with energy and regaining edge over the enemy.
"Well done everyone. This will help us save lot of lives" Zaikar praised the 5 mages heavily panting on the side.
"Thank you sir. It is our responsibility to help" one of them said catching his breath.
"You should go rest now. Come back to cast the spell again once you have recovered." Zaikar ordered. The mages got up and went back to the camp escorted by soldiers, while Zaikar focused on the battlefield ahead.
"Sir, the enemy has used 'blessing of health'. It forces are being pushed back." A priest entered the rent and reported to the pope sitting on a table inside.
"Hmm. Ask our mages to prepare the spell as well." He replied
"Yes sir." The priest replied and exited the tent.
"So you are finally making your moves." The pope whispered to himself.
On the battlefield the situation was slowly leaning more and more towards the soldiers side, when one more light erupted on the battlefield. But this one was light blue in colour and approached from the enemy side.
Rahen noticed this new light landing on the crazed build bulls. Rahen checked the status of one of them to check out it's effects.
===============================
Bullman (crazed)
Attributes: none
Next evolution: raging Bull
Abilities: none
Skills: full body transformation (temporary)
Blessing of speed (buff):
Movement speed +5
Duration: 1 hour ]
===============================
So it is a spell to increase speed. Combined with their already high enough attack power thing are going to get even more difficult.
And just like rahen thought, the spell reduced the gap that was momentarily gained by the soldiers. More and more soldiers started taking damage due to sudden increase in the speed of the enemy.
Rahen only got a moment to think about it before he saw another soldiers who was fighting in a very bad state and was about to die. Rahen quickly dived in to save him.
He teamed up with the soldier and helped him slay the enemy, then continued to the next one. Time went by quickly when fighting. Rahen felt the energy leaving his body, and sure enough an hour had already been over and the buff ended.
The enemy gained the upper hand for a few minutes before their buff also ended and the battlefield was once again in a stalemate.
The stalemate continued for an hour before light once again interrupted from both side, but already experiencing it once the soldiers were in a better situation again the increased speed of enemy. With the health buff they became more daring and slowly pushed the evemy back.
Another hour later the buffs retreated but the soldiers still held onto the edge gained. The light reappeared again after an hour but this time the enemy casted a slightly pink colored light, curious Rahen checked again. And this time the buff was also different.
Composure (buff):
Calms a person down.
Alleviate crazed status a bit.
Confused, Rahen couldn't understand why the enemy would want to reduce the affect that is helping them fight better. His answer was answered though when the enemy side called for a retreat. Slightly regaining their senses the enemy started retreating.
The soldiers were also very tired and Zaikar or Quliv also didn't order any pursuit.
*Boom
The enemy had just started retreating when a loud sound of a blast rang from the opponent camp. Curious about what might have happened Rahen quickly flew toward the site.
Carefully reaching there from a height Rahen saw that one part of the camp had been caught on fire. The fire was really fierce, many were trying to quell it down but it was not looking that great, it was spreading quickly to other tents too.
The priests and the pope also quickly arrived on the scene of devastating.
"What the hell happened here." One of the priests shouted angrily.
"Sir a few enemies infiltrated the premises and set the tent in fire. We were successful in taking two of them down but the remaining escaped."
"Enemies infiltrated? And what the hell were you all doing at that time. Didn't I tell you to guard this place without a slightest mistakes. Don't you know that holy blood is stored in there." The same priest lashed out at the soldiers.
"Get angry later. First stop this fire and send the other soldiers to other storages." The pope, still somewhat calm have orders to calm the situation down.
Rahen who was quite high in air was only able to hear a few thing and quietly retreated before any danger befell him.
