Ray waved his hand a few times and the adventures and Aqua were flown back to the city gates, leaving only Alana, Anna, Hellooth and Elis in the front together with the walking armour.
"Let's get this started~"
A white and black world spread like a gigantic bubble that isolated one world from the other, the chosen warriors stared at all this, realising this would be the battle of their lives.
Hellooth stared at Elis, he couldn't allow his child and woman to die here.
Alana glared at Anna, the effort of her family couldn't be wasted, her mistress had to survive.
They had their reasons to fight, and the foe, a god, stood in front. Thankfully, they weren't by themselves.
Emitting a tyrannical enemy was the mythical hero, Tsaindorcus Vaision, the Platinum Dragon Lord who fought alongside the other twelve heroes centuries ago; A legend.
"You are not allowed to run rampant in this world, Osiris".
As one of the strongest and oldest beings to exist, Vaision had the moral obligation to be a gatekeeper, a foreign god couldn't arrive in this world and treat him like it was his backyard, the moment he heard of the quest given away by Emperor Jicniv, he knew he had to come to investigate who the 'wannabe' god was.
Little did he expect, the other being to be an actual god.
With all his strength he rushed forth, leaving shockwaves at his wake and destruction with every step. Four weapons of different kinds: A heavy sword, a halberd, a katana and a spear. All were made with materials and energy that were noteworthy even to Ray.
They were at the same level as those mythical weapons he plundered from Nazarick.
*CLAANG!*
*BOOMM!!*
Vaision felt the resistance, the momentum, he thought that did it; but when the dust cleared, his sword hadn't even reached Ray.
The Sun God stood in place lazily, staring at him neutrally as sparks blasted out with the contact between Vaision's sword and his barrier, a barrier the sword was incapable of piercing.
Two more strikes in succession gave off the same result, Ray realised that Vaision was a remarkable warrior, however... the strength was lacklustre at best.
"What is this world? To think you can also tamper with spatial dimensions" Having an immediate misunderstanding, Vaision thought this white and black world was tampering with his powers, debuffing his strength. It couldn't be any farther from the truth.
"This is a spiritual dimension. If this is all you got, I'm a bit disappointed".
"Evildoer!"
A group of large strong roots poked out of the ground to entangle him, Ray stared in the distance. The dark elf, Anna, had used the armatista to conjure a spell. The roots of that spell were quite strong and durable, even though they were roots of a tree, they were almost as strong as Vaision's armour.
Even the Dragon stared at that dark elf aghast.
"This magic, you are... a Noble Forest Elf?"
Anna Clay ignored those words and Alana lunged forward, "Lord Vaision, right now is not the time for questions! We have to attack with everything we got, it is now or we will never be able to defeat Osiris!"
"Now you're all onto something~" Ray smirked, seeing them start to organise and cooperate with one another.
The roots entangled him, but it was still not enough.
*WHOOSH!*
The roots burned to a crisp and the party of five felt the churning heat to the core of their soul.
<5th Tier: Soul Ether!>
Vaision conjured an extremely high-tiered spell as well, the world started to turn into Ice and the temperature started to drop, but once it clashed against Ray's radiation, a struggle of forces ensued in which the cold world had to recede.
Hellooth and Elis covered their faces from the cloud of smoke, icicles that formed and burned to a crisp the next second.
<3rd Tier: Ice Shard!>
The Sorceress Elis decided to help, if they couldn't counter-react the Sun God's radiation, they would all be doomed.
Hellooth and Alana decided to take the chance together with Vaision while Anna once again cast her roots to hold onto Ray.
"Elis, use support magic!" Hellooth asked of his woman, who was a multi caster sorceress, she could easily manifest several spells at the same time and Anna was no different.
A debuff spell was cast on Ray while both Alana and Hellooth charged with buffing spells. The Sun God felt his body get a bit sluggish, an effect that lasted for a mere second before something shattered like glass, it was the very spell cast on him.
!!!
Anna couldn't believe what she was seeing, it was as if nothing worked on this man.
Vaision rushed first, taking the halberd for once and intending to strike just so he could create an opening for Hellooth and Alana who were right behind. But Ray had already expected that.
*CLAANGG!!*
Instead of allowing the forcefield to do its job, he took Vaision's halberd with his very fingers, shocking the dragon as the earth shattered beneath due to the sheer pressure of the strike, waves that spread around Ray's body like feeble ripples.
Ray then grasped Vaision by the head and swung him like he was a bat towards the stupefied Hellooth and Alana.
*BAAANGG!!*
The man tried to defend himself, but the armour was made out of the strongest dragon's scales, how could his Orialchum weapon compare? They both got blasted away before Ray slammed the armour against the floor.
*BOOMMM!!*
"I'm not about to waste any more time with you weaklings".
He slapped away a lightning strike cast by Elis, caught the residual energy in his hand grasped one of the swords and pierced it in the armour's chest.
No screams of pain resonated at that time from the armour, but Ray already knew there was no one inside, Vaision found himself neutralized.
<5th Tier: Jetray!>
Anna cast a spell of light, but she didn't cast it like an outwards barrage, her roots kept chasing after Ray insistently and they gained a holy attribute.
Outside of the barrier, the adventurers all cheered on the amazing fight they were witnessing while Aqua silently plundered all their goods.
The Sun God grasped one of those roots and pulled it harshly, the trail underground followed the origin and Anna was shot into the air, screaming.
"Anna!" Alana growled and cased after Ray after recovering with Hellooth from the previous strike that left them nearly unconscious, it was like being hit by a mountain.
She couldn't believe how helpless this battle was, it didn't take a genius to know Osiris was only playing around, but this game had their lives on the line, she couldn't give up.
Hellooth struck forth, forcing Ray to release the root and retreat with a smile, Hellooth's weapon was gigantic. Alana took the chance of Ray's retreat and removed the sword that was impaling Vaison.
"AHHHHH!"
Hellooth had an interesting technique, a weapon that took different shapes between a halberd and a gigantic hammer depending on what side he used to attack, he didn't think twice using the halberd but before it could connect, Ray struck a kick against his ribs that sent him flying off, his armour shattered and heavily injured.
He was out.
"Hellooth!" Elis billowed and hurried to cast a healing spell while Alana and Vaision chased for time.
Alana had a broadsword and was determined to strike Ray at least once, something they hadn't managed to do until now despite their efforts.
She used a buffing spell on herself, more specifically, on her sword. But when she struck forward, she received the same outcome as Vaision, there was a barrier protecting him from piercing damage, she expected this much.
A barrier that even one of the thirteen heroes couldn't pierce, she also couldn't hope to pierce, but someone else could.
"Anna!"
