The crew is still fighting the Death Knights, although they are clearly overwhelming in Power compared to the already boosted Death Knights because of my high tier spell, the Death Knights is still not backing down.
Unlike living humans, these skeletons are dead and they don't have the same weaknesses as the humans do. They don't feel pain, they don't feel fear, they didn't have to worry about stamina, and the greatest thing that they don't have to worry is that they don't have to worry about death when fighting.
David has been using Ice Magic to the best of his abilities to deal with 2 death knights. He tried using the dragons that he performed before but they were just cut down, he also tried to freeze them but he doesn't have enough time and space to completely freeze them. He is relying on his ability to hold sword to defend himself. He is clearly an amateur the way he holds sword.
Someone has to teach him sword techniques if he wants to continue using it. I'll teach him personally how to use his magic to every possible scenario and how to increase it's power.
Christine is shooting arrow upon arrow to the Death Knights but the Death Knights armors are able to reduce the damage of her attacks. She also tried condensing her mana more into her arrow but everytime she did that, the death knights will feel it and interrupt her. Making her unable to hit them with a powerful enough arrow.
Ferdinand is not turning into a giant but instead he is reinforcing his entire body and the armor he wears and using his fist and knuckles, he is dealing with the Death Knight with difficulty because of it's agility, evasion capabilities, and magic sword. If not for the armor that I lend him, I'm sure that by this time, he already received a lot of damages.
Makoy on the other hand is clearly winning against his opponent. His speed is much faster than the Death Knights, his weapon is superior, and his striking power is more powerful. It's only a matter of minutes before he could help the others and overwhelm them with their numbers.
"The Lich is doing some kind of ritual and charging power to his magic obelisk. I don't know what kind of spell it is but I know that it is no good. You need to end them asap. I will try my best to interrupt him." I stated.
I begun weaving my spell that hopefully will work against it's barrier. If this doesn't work, I will probably lose faith to myself.
--Life Drain--
Suddenly a dark energy manifested and shoot towards the barrier. The energy is hard to control because of the distance between me and the Lich but I still persisted. I cannot back out, people are expecting us to kill the Lich.
The dark energy hit the Lich barrier and suck it's mana. Blue energy reverberated back at me and I absorb it.
I look at the barrier and it seems flickering, the Lich is trying his best cut off my magic but everytime he perform a spell, the mana will just be absorb by me.
It seems like the rate of my sucking is much faster than the rate that he could pump out mana for his barrier.
I manipulated my mana up to the sky, trying my best to double cast and activated another spell.
--Lightning Storm--
A dark cloud manifested in the sky and I controlled the its lightning to only target the area where the Lich is instead of raining down all over the place.
Thunderous sounds reverberated in the entire place upon the lightnings made a contact to the barrier.
I immediately merge my Life Drain and Lightning Storm, giving the Life Drain stealed mana to sustain the Lightning Storm itself without my intervention.
Every Lightning that will hit the Barrier will immediately release blue energy that will flow towards the sky. Feeding the spell with mana that came from the Lich.
I look to where the Lich again but the Lightning strikes is obstructing my view, I couldn't tell what was happening in there.
I change my view and look at the other guys who are fighting as well, and right on time, Makoy manage to kill his opponent.
The Death Knights head has been severed and the lights on its eyes faded.
Suddenly a dark orb escape it's body and flew to the sky.
I couldn't tell what was that for, everything happened so fast before I can even analyze it.
"Finally I defeated my opponent already. I'll assist you now David." Makoy said and his body glowed white, suddenly he activated his skill and arrive to where David is.
"Thanks, let's speed this thing up. Christine do your thing." David commanded and Christine immediately gather her mana in a single arrow.
The Death Knights who saw her tried to interrupt her but they failed because someone is facing them.
--Annihilation Arrow--
The ominous dark arrow shot towards the Death Knight that Ferdinand is Dealing, the Death Knight immediately felt what was coming and evade but the arrow this time change it's direction and still chasing him. The Death Knight didn't expect it and got hit and explode.
That was a good decision in Christine's part, among all of them, Ferdinand is the one who needed more help. I also like how she learn to integrate homing in her arrow. If I'm not mistaken, she lock the arrow in the Death Knight mana signature since she is like me who is very sensitive to mana.
Like the first Death Knight another dark orb escape the body of the Death Knight and it flew into the sky. I couldn't analyze it again because of how fast it vanish.
Ferdinand sat down on the ground and look very tired. I couldn't blame him, a tank without a damage dealer is not a threat after all.
"Finally" I then look to where the voice came from and saw that David finally defeated his opponent by piercing it with several Icicles.
The Light in the Death Knights eyes faded and I immediately fly towards its direction while preparing a spell to capture it.
"I won't let you escape this time."
And as expected a dark orb escape from the dead Death Knight body and shoots upwards.
"Where are you going?" I whispered and activated the spell that I prepared.
--Black Hole--
A miniature black hole manifested in the tip of my magic staff, sucking the flying flying dark orb.
I notice that it slows down but it still manage to escape me.
"Damn it." I said in frustration.
"What is that?" David asks while I cancel my magic.
"I don't know, that's why I'm trying to capture it to prevent it from doing anything." I replied.
"Guys need some help here." Makoy said and all attention are at him now. David, Christine immediately help him out while Ferdinand is trying to stand up.
I was about to cast a healing spell on him when I suddenly notice that the lightning has stopped. It seems like the Lich is no longer providing it with mana.
"Archie, the last Death Knight is about to fall." David shouted and my attention has been shifted to them again.
--Final Flash--
--Annihilation Arrow--
David use his magic and made huge icicles and shot it towards the Death Knight.
Deadly skills from S-class hunters has been unleased, a lone Death Knight can do nothing about it aside from accepting the wraths of my allies.
As the Death Knight is on it's last seconds in his life I immediately encase it in a barrier.
--Light Barrier--
And as expected another dark orb escape the body of the defeated Death Knight, but instead of getting stuck in the barrier that I made, it passes through and escape.
"No!" The only word that manage to escape my mouth.
I failed once again from capturing it. I really don't know what it was so I'm quite frustrated that I didn't manage to get my hands on it.
"What is that? Why are you trying to capture it?" Makoy asks.
I shake my head as a response to him.
"I don't know what it is, that's why I'm capturing them. Please gather all the remains of the Death Knights, I'll do something at them so they won't get revive by the Lich." I said.
Upon hearing me Ferdinand who's body was battered immediately mustered all his remaining strength and quickly gathered the remains of the defeated Death Knight near him.
The others followed suit as well.
After they are done, I gave them all a thanks.
"I will heal you after this, please endure your pain and injuries for a short while."
I immediately control my mana and gathered them at my magic staff.
--Curse Crystal Prison--
A gust of finned crystal has been released in my magic staff. They encircle the bones and slowly crystalize them. Trapping the bones inside a Crystal Magic.
The Crystal is color blue but you will still be able to see what's inside. I added mana drain effects to the crystal so that if the Death Knight got revive, they will not be able to do anything because their Mana has been drained.
"Finally we can deal with the Lich at last. I'll heal you now so don't resist my magic."
--Time Journey--
The time has been reverse and their injuries has been reverse as well. They are now back to what they are before they begun to fight. They didn't experience memory loss and their mana didn't return back to its full state again since Time related magic doesn't affect soul and anything that is related to it like energy and memories.
"Thank you." Everyone said.
"Stay still, I will transfer mana to you." I said and share to them the mana of the mana stones that the government is providing us.
