Without wasting time and ignoring the gaping wound on his chest, Zenobios sped towards Igor and kicked him on his face. Igor fell face down and spewed blood out of his mouth.
Not done with his assault, Zenobios held a dagger coated in green aura, ready to stab Igor with it, however, he was interfered by an orange aura spear that flew at him. He had to pause his attack and evade the king's assault.
King Bizorc went towards Igor's side and retrieved his spear. Despite the fact that he was severely wounded and blood was dripping all over him, king Bizorc made sure to muster whatever strength he has left to overwhelm the narcissistic Elf.
"Thousands stabs". King Bizorc said as numerous spears following the rapid jabs of the king's spear movement.
However, Zenobios evaded most of the spear jabs. Though some pierced his body, he managed to reach the perimeter of the King and Igor.
"Do you know the advantage I have over you two? It's speed, as an Elf, I am much faster than a slow moving scholar and a muscle brain Orc". Zenobios said.
Zenobios was ready to stab the king's neck but out of the blue, a thick hologram tail hits him and flung him to one of the rocky outcrops. Both the king and Igor were surprised to see a red hologram of a catlike beast in their front.
"Is that an orange Jaguar?". King Bizorc asked.
Right in their front a red glowing individual landed.
"Are you two... Oh my, none of you are fine!". Orpheus said as he looked at the shape of the two.
"Am l glad to see you Orpheus". Igor said.
"Never did I think I'll see you in a pathetic..." Orpheus was saying but he was cut short by Zenobios sudden appearance of trying to stab him.
However, he was not given the chance, from Igor's hands, lightning bolts shot out and struck Zenobios, pushing him to the back and letting Orpheus get a breather.
"This mad maniac, you have caused a lot of pain and anguish that I'm not the only one seeking to see your head dangling on the ground".
"Creature summons: Healer's Aloe". Orpheus casts. A magic circle appeared on his hand and a succulent plant with red flower sprung up.
"King Bizorc and Igor, take this and rub it oozing juice on your wound, it should stop the bleeding". Orpheus said.
"Thanks citizen, your work shall not go unnoticed". King Bizorc said. "But until this psychopath is gone, I care not what danger I'm in, restoring peace is what I want".
"But your eminence". Orpheus said out of concern.
"There is no way I'll sit and let my subject do the work meant for a king to do, even if I die so be it, it was the mistake of I and the elders that led us to this havoc. As a leader, it is my duty to correct that". King Bizorc said.
"Well, so am I, we had chances to stop him but we didn't, I'm not going to relax until he has been defea... Cough.. cough". Igor spewed out black blood out of his mouth.
"Black blood?! Igor you've been poisoned, take quickly, rub this on your wound, tch, where's Barbara when we need her ". Orpheus said.
"Stay out of the fight, rest, it will be really painful for Seraph and all of us if you die, you know what will happen when that occurs ". Orpheus said.
Igor understands what Orpheus is trying to pass across, if he dies, his soul belongs to Valier. However, they are going to die anyways, if he was going to die, why not do so in an heroic way.
"I hope you are not having any weird thought of dieing a hero". Orpheus asked.
"Err". Igor shutters.
Orpheus frowned, right below Igor, a vine rose up and tied him up.
"Vanessa, don't let him go anywhere, and also, help him rub this aloe on his wound, that boy be troublesome". Orpheus said to the vine which nodded to his request.
"Fine Orpheus, you win, but be careful, Zenobios is in his most dangerous state, he must have exhausted his mana to resort to running and using a dagger. Right now, he is like a cornered rabbit, he'll use whatever means necessary to win even if it kills him ". Igor said.
With no hesitation, Zenobios came out running towards Orpheus and king Bizorc. From the ground, thick green vines rose up and entangled themselves, reducing Zenobios speed and field of vision.
Then Orpheus sent the orange Jaguar to him. The hologram jaguar lunged at Zenobios but it was quickly defeated, however, it gave the vines chance to tie up his limbs.
Seeing this, Zenobios desperately threw his dagger towards Orpheus' face. Orpheus was not fast enough to evade the flying weapon thrown at him, he froze on the spot, however, king Bizorc knocked the dagger off.
From no where, the dagger returned not towards Orpheus but to Zenobios. Rather than tearing off the vines, it went straight to Zenobios neck.
Orpheus, the king and Igor were stunned, they looked at the direction where the dagger came from, they saw two individuals, Larmore and a kobold name Zolos stood there.
"Sorry for our impudence, but we would like to join". Larmore said.
Orpheus undid his vine spell. Zenobios fell and laid in the pool of his own blood. In an instant, Zenobios was surrounded by hordes of the magical nation's forces, all ready to make his life as miserable as possible till he dies.
However, in his pool of blood, he laughed hysterically and said:
"It not over until I say so". He brought out a red shard and crushed it in his heart area. In an instant, his eyes, all the openings in his head and the pores of his skin began to glow very bright green, he stood up on his feet.
"Wait, that's... He is planning a suicide explosion, everyone get away from him!!!". Larmore yelled at the top of his voice.
The area became a bright blinding light that enveloped everyone.
