Chapter 410 Dominik Vs Czac
There was a huge ball of flames floating in the sky, one that was so large that it attracted the attention of everyone and everything on the battlefield.
It burned so brightly that one could mistake it for a second sun if at first glance.
Looking at the multiple magic circles that surrounded the huge ball of flames, Heinr couldn\'t help but let out a mutter of shock and awe.
"Combination Tier 4 magic…impressive. As expected of a Grand Mage."
Right after he said those words, the ball of flames instantly reformed into a large drill-shaped construct of flames that crashed down towards its target, the Lich King with tattered robes and a cracked skull whose bone staff had been destroyed by Sir Czac earlier in the battle.
***KAAABBOOOOOMM!!!
**RUMBLLEE!!!
Within five seconds, the ball of flames crashed into the ground, resulting in an explosion that shook the earth, and the air.
The atmosphere trembled as the thunderous roar that accompanied the blast flooded the surroundings with noise.
Not a single bone of the Lich King that was hit by the attack remained, as well as that of the huge hydra corpse that the Eighth Finger was definitely planning on reanimating once more. There were not even ashes left.
The same fate applied to the ground where the corpse was on, as all that was left was a huge hole in the ground that was at the very least, a kilometre in both width and depth.
It was then that the second phase of the magic activated, causing the flames of the explosion to recede and recondense into a huge ball of flames that floated into the sky once more.
There was a stark difference, however, as this ball of flames was only a little bit over half of the original, showing that a huge portion of the energy within them had been used to both kill the lich and incinerate the undead Hydra\'s large body.
But it also showed the amazing control over his spell that Czac had as he actually made sure that the blast radius did not exceed a certain range, instead channelling most of the flames\' power to drill through the ground deeply and not spread out over a large area.
Controlling the ball of flames with his outstretched hand, Sir Czac wiped the sweat on his brow and turned his gaze towards the wyvern-mounting Death Knight that had been a real pain in the behind while he was battling the Lich King.
"You\'re next."
With those words, the Grand Mage tossed the ball of flames that reformed into a large flaming spear towards the Death Knight whose mount turned around to fly out of the spell\'s range.
While all gazes were locked on the giant flaming spear and the Death Knight it was chasing, thinking it was done for, a slender yet fairly muscular arm casually pointed at the flaming spear in silence.
Non-attributed magic power, uncoloured by any attribute, converged at the tip of its outstretched finger, with the pressure of the magic power causing ripples in the air.
The huge amount of energy condensing naturally attracted attention, but by then it was too late to do anything about it.
"Hollow Magic: Hollow Cannon."
A beam of pure magic power shot through the air with overwhelming force, crashing into the flaming spear and piercing through it, causing the flame spell to destabilize and explode in the sky.
The shockwaves from the explosion spread out omnidirectionally and parted all the low clouds in that section of the afternoon sky.
The space opened by the parting clouds was rapidly filled up by the giant cloud of smoke and flames that spread out into the sky.
Even those who were still dealing with their undead opponents throughout the ruckus momentarily stopped to stare, however, they had to go back to their individual battles as their undead opponents were not going to stand still and wait for them to finish being surprised at the explosion.
As for Grand Mage Czac, he turned his gaze downwards, towards the Deathlord who slowly dropped his outstretched hand and turned his gaze back towards the direction where a party of A rank adventures were about to end one of his undead Basilisks, snapping his fingers and using a corpse recovery spell on it.
Surrounding him were the unconscious bodies of two A-rank adventurers and the corpses of a B-rank adventurer party who had attempted to attack him earlier, but had easily been made short work of with the Deathlord\'s powerful dark magic.
The chains of darkness that were wrapped around the A rankers\' necks and the fact that they were still alive showed that he was not done dealing with them when he launched the Hollow Cannon towards Czac\'s spell.
And then right before Czac\'s very eyes, the corpses of the B rankers twitched slightly, before releasing bursts of death energy and slowly getting back up to their feet as undead creatures with glowing red inferno sights in place of their now sunken eyes.
The Grand Mage instantly figured out what Dominik planned to do with the unconscious A rankers, rousing his magic power as he shot through the air and activated multiple tier two magic spells towards him.
Nonetheless, Dominik only calmly responded with Darkness magic of his own, his magic catalyst spinning wildly as he tossed in a death magic bullet spell that sucked out the vitality of those unfortunate enough to be hit by the projectiles.
However, that short amount of time that he took to retaliate was enough for another mage to get into range, and this was a particular mage that Dominik was very wary of due to her powerful gravity magic.
"Gravity Maelstrom!"
A whirling mass of dark gravity magic condensed into an orb in front of Dominik, forcing him to jump back as the spell was a gravity spell he recognized and definitely did not want to get hit by.
But as if mocking the futility of his actions, the caster only snorted as the black orb that sucked in and destroyed everything in a short range around it, shot through the air as if chasing after him.
"Annoying."
He muttered one word as he let go of the chain of darkness that was wrapped around the neck of the A rankers, a moment before Tisha\'s light magic severed the chains and generated a wall of darkness that blocked the maelstrom of gravity, with the two spells cancelling each other out.
Gazing at the ground that had been carved up by the spell on its way to him, he silently rose his hand to the side and activated a death magic spell.
The ground cracked open and a large wall of skeletons, accompanied by the sounds of wailing souls, emerged from within and blocked the flaming projectiles that dropped down from above.
"Infinite Bone lance."
He muttered a spell\'s name as an uncountable number of sharp bone spears, each surrounded by a coat of dense death energy shot out of the ground and towards the airborne Grand Mage who was preparing another spell.
Turning back to Tisha who was helping the unconscious A rankers, Dominik decided to use a summon that would keep her out of the battle for a while.
"Summon Undead Fourth: Lesser Lich King."
A large three-ringed summing magic circle of black light appeared in the air behind him, one which a crown-wearing Skeleton, dressed in tattered robes and holding a crooked wooden staff floated out of.
"Keep her busy, and kill her if you can."
[Yes, My lord.]
The lesser Lich King accepted Dominik\'s orders and turned its gaze towards Tisha, locking eyes with the Gravity Mage and casting a space attribute spell.
"Minor Teleportation."
It appeared right behind her and reached out to grab her neck with its bony hands, only for its fingers to be crushed to pieces when it got within fifteen centimetres of her body.
[Distorted gravity magic, huh?]
Tisha turned around and swung her staff towards the lesser Lich King who only casually held up its wooden staff to block, however, the Gravity mage activated a spell at the last moment, one that the Lich King noticed as she saw its inferno sights grow larger right before her staff slammed into its body.
**BOOOOMMM!!!!!
The sheer amount of force with which the Lesser Lich King was knocked into the air was so great that the superior undead\'s body smashed through the giant undead basilisk in the distance, pulverizing its large torso, before going on to crash onto the ground and roll for a few dozen metres.
Looking at this scene, Dominik facepalmed and shook his head before tapping his foot on the floor and issuing a command.
"Rise, my servants."
Thousands of undead knights and doom lords with the weakest being at level 150 emerged from different points all over the domain under his feet.
He infused more magic power into his skill and attempted to expand the domain further, but it was pushed back by the combined efforts of Eliza and the group of high-ranking paladins who were in front of the final defence wall.
"Shadow kn-! Bone Wyvern!"
Dominik was about to summon an undead to deal with the battle priestess when he sensed magical fluctuations in the air and instantly changed his command, calling out a bone wyvern that grabbed him with its claws and lifted him up into the air, a mere moment before the ground underneath his feet cracked open and swallowed the undead around him.
"This Grand Mage is getting annoying."
[Then handle him first.]
"I will. You get back to healing Vazgan."
He replied to his contracted demon before grabbing the bone wyvern\'s body and swinging himself atop it, landing on his feet at the same he activated two death magic spells.
"Spectral Flame Prison of Death.
Maximize: Multi Death Cannon."
An array of pitch-black double-ringed magic circles appeared around him, firing out beams of black light that seared through the sky and burned holes in the torsos of two battlemages as they made their way towards Sir Czac.
Despite his anger at seeing two of his subordinates killed by the death magic spell, Czac held himself back and moved to dodge the spells, only for a magic cage of black flames to emerge from behind him and try to trap him.
"Protect Negative.
Magic Barrier."
The Grand Mage instantly covered himself with two barrier spells, before smashing through the prison of black flames and beelining straight towards the ground.
Seeing this, Dominik moved his finger and redirected the beams of black light to follow him, before activating his barrier bullet skill in quick succession and launching dozens of pure magic spheres both towards Czac and every other mage he saw in the skies.
He also released a few barrier bullets the size of car tyres towards the ground, at random adventurers and knights who were engaged in serious combat against the droves of undead that rose up from the ground every moment.
Czac was about to use a large-scale barrier to block those barrier bullets from reaching the ground forces, only to remember one of Evan\'s warnings about the Eighth Finger\'s skills.
He quickly looked towards the other mages who had similar thoughts and screamed out at them with a magic-amplified voice.
"DON\'T BLOCK THE MAGIC SPHERES WITH BARRIERS! SHOOT THEM DOWN!"
Although the battle mages did not know why their superior suddenly gave them that command, they knew it had to be for a good reason and reacted instantly, switching out their barrier spells for projectile magic that they fired towards the magic spheres.
Naturally, Dominik also heard his words and a frown appeared on his face when he did so, even Zacular who was inside his expansive space trying to rectify Vazgan\'s grim situation was shocked by those words too.
[How did he…?]
