BXBX NOVEL Chapter 248 Undead Invasion
Arad looked at the sky, seeing a large purple crystal falling from the stars. BAM! The crystal fell in the middle of the garden. It\'s twice as tall as Arad. It started pulsating with waves of necrotic magic with purple-like veins spreading from it.
Arad opened his mouth, ROAR! He unleashed a large fire breath, trying to burn it. The flames splashed around the crystal, deflecting like a water stream.
CRACK! BAM! The crystal cracked, exploding in a burst of magic. A skeletal hand extended from it, creating a magical glass-like shield. "Dragon of Alcott, I came for your soul," Xaviin growled, glaring at Arad with a green flame blazing in his skull.
"You\'re that weird corpse Alcott fought," Arad looked at Xaviin, "How did you get here?" He smiled. Loci should have warned him.
"We fired ourselves with magic to land where we needed," Xaviin said with a smile, and Arad stared at the sky. Hundreds and hundreds of crystals fell like rain, crashing into the forest and around the city.
"Star rain, an amazing magic indeed," Xaviin giggled, glaring at Arad, "it\'s used to deliver supplies in war, but it can also deliver undead."
BAM! Arad lunged forward, swinging a fist at Xaviin\'s skull. CRACK! His fist hit the magical barrier, "You can\'t break my shield with such weak force. Even Alcott found it hard."
PEW! CRACK! An arrow blasted through the window, ripping the frame off and hitting Xaviin\'s shield with a blast.
Xaviin slowly turned his head, seeing the arrow tip had pierced his shield and remained suspended in it. ^Heee! A large amount of force focused on a single small point, a piercing weapon has a better chance than this dragon\'s bludgeoning fists.^
BA! BA! BAM! The crystals falling all around Alina exploded, releasing hordes of undead everywhere. "The more of you that dies, the more power I gain. Tonight, I will erase you and this city whole." Xaviin floated into the sky and pulled a staff out of his pocket.
^Storage magic^ Arad could notice a drawing on the bag similar to what Merlin had between her chest. Arad\'s brain quickly made a conclusion. ^Either Merlin lied about it needing to be close to the heart for magic and just put it between her breasts for fun. Or Xaviin\'s magic source is close to his bag.^
Arad pointed his arm at Xaviin. His fingers burst into flames as crimson orbs of flames rushed forth. [Fire bolt] [Fire bolt] [Fire bolt] [Fire bolt] [Fire bolt] [Fire bolt] [Fire bolt]
Xaviin didn\'t bother to move, his barrier easily deflected Arad\'s low-level spells.
"Such weak magic," Xaviin pointed his staff at Arad, "It\'s useless, you won\'t break my barrier in a million years."
Arad\'s flames turned blue and then white as he pushed the refinement further.
"Hoho! You can refine it, but it\'s still useless." Xaviin lifted his staff and flew around Arad, pointing at him. "Die," [Necrotic Blast] pointing at him. A purple flame expanded from Xaviin\'s staff, engulfing Arad\'s body.
ZON! Arad used [Void Step] He appeared behind Xaviin with a lightning drop kick. BAM! The kick hit Xaviin\'s shield but didn\'t break it.
Xaviin turned around, swinging his staff at Arad.
Arad disappeared again before he could get hit.
PEW! DING! An arrow bounced off Xaviin\'s barrier, and he looked out the window, "Elf, I can see you." Xaviin giggled, "I only needed to change the shape of my barrier a bit to deflect your arrows."
CRACK! Aella turned around, seeing several skeletons inside the house. "Where did they get in?" She pointed her bow at them and fired. The arrows slid right between their bones, blasting holes in the walls at the back.
"AHHHHH!" Aella heard Tina screaming from the other room. The house is already infested. "I\'m coming," She grabbed a chair on her way to smash the skeletons with. They aren\'t strong but are hard to hurt with arrows.
BAM! Aella kicked the door open to see a strange scene. Most of the skeletons inside had their skulls and arms shattered, and the majority are nailed to the walls.
CRACKLE! A skeleton jumped at Mira, swinging his rusted sword.
Mira lifted her left arm, taking the hit on the shoulder. She wasn\'t a fighter, she didn\'t know how to dodge or deflect attack, only how to protect her head.
The moment the attack connected to Mira\'s arm, she swung the hammer in her right hand down, cracking the skeleton\'s forearm to pieces. As he recoiled, she pulled a nail from her pocket and swung her hammer at its spine.
BAM! Mira hammered the skeleton to the wall, pinning him with a nail. "I may not know how to fight, but I know how to get a nail into something,"
Aella rushed to them, "Are you okay?"
"Serin is still in the other room, alone!" Tina cried, and they could hear Serin starting to scream on the other side of the house.
Aella took a deep breath, "Everyone! Attack!!" she screamed at the top of her lungs with Arad roaring outside. BOOM! The cellar door shattered as hordes of goblins rushed out, growling.
Giant ants start crawling out of the garden and the forest, it\'s an all-out war.
In the other room, Serin cried as a faint light emitted from her body. The skeletons around her started burning, but it wasn\'t enough to kill them. One of them approached the little baby, on flames. He lifted his sword, swinging down at her.
CRACK! BAM! The wall exploded with Arad rushing in, grabbing Serin in his arm and bursting across the second wall.
BOOM! Xaviin rushed after him, trying to blast him with beams of purple necrotic flame. "Die!"
SIZZILE! Arad could feel his skin burning just by touching Serin, she was releasing holy magic to protect herself from the undead, but he was a vampire and is getting burned in the same way.
It was then, that he got an idea.
Thud! He stopped running in the middle of the garden, using Serin\'s wrapping to tie her around his stomach. He stood, glaring at his palm burning in holy flames. His scales falling off, and getting healed with the blood had stored before.
Arad made a fist, engulfed in blood and holy flames. "I\'m gonna try punching that bastard with this."
