Chapter 16 - Ariel Match-2

Only the last fifteen lumin balls were left moving inside the gigantic mana hemisphere, this sphere was especially generated by the special runes to contain the impact created by the fierce battle happening between the dark creatures and the warriors within its confines, mainly to preserve the architecture around us.

Currently, it was glowing with murky miasma and two more warriors exited the sphere by breaking their crystal name card. This name card was specially designed as a way out for the warriors because the level of the game will continue to rise, especially now that the game has reached its grand finale.

Just after the players exited, the remaining lumin balls evolved into huge undead winged ghouls, which had unnaturally rotten black meaty skin, big and elongated skull with mouthful of rotten spiky teeth and they had a set of dark bony wings. The ghouls stretched their limbs and their growls reverberated throughout the hall. They all instantly launched themselves together at the last standing warriors inside the sphere…

They were attacking everyone in cliques, while the warriors quickly defended against their ferocious poisonous claws.

Suddenly, a white Serpent spirit quickly rose among them, its was being ridden by a warrior with long blond hair, Lucius, the heir to the land of Zeno, luminescent moon stones revolved around him, which were simultaneously manipulated into large spearheads, where two of them pierced into the wings of a ghoul, and one of them precisely nailed his skull, the visage of the ghoul instantly converted into black ashes and dissipated into the air.

But amongst them, tendrils of shadow quickly spread and enveloped the entire sphere in its aura…

The ghouls were quickly confused by the darkness, before they could adjust their night vision, they were all shot by the arrows in the darkness. And immediately following their deaths the mana hemisphere burst open and all the warriors were dropped midair…

"Oh, what a pity I was expecting it to last a little longer." Cordelia sighed with regret, but her eyes glowed with schadenfreude, "perhaps only a few left" she whispered in a very low voice which could still be heard to the one standing very near to her
