?Chapter 3278 Dying Spark (Part 1)


    The Yggdrasill used their innate ability to combine Phoenix Smash and Griffon Fetters, generating a wide net of flaming emerald chains capable of restricting the mightiest of Divine Beasts and eroding energy and matter alike.


    The second component of the assault was the combination of Breakdown and Mana Storm. The resulting effect was a hail of bullets the size of a train car.


    Each hexa elemental emerald sphere imploded upon contact, with air and earth blocking their victims respectively by inducing an electric seizure and by trapping their limbs in a prison of rock.


    Fire and water would alternate in pulses, causing a thermal shock that damaged the equipment and made the air unbreathable. Darkness and light destroyed and healed the bodies of their targets in a cycle that drained their stamina and nutrients.No?v(el)B\\jnn


    Worst of all, neither of the combined spells had any effect on the Golems. They shared the World Tree''s energy signature and while the members of Lith''s group were turned to shreds, the constructs had the time to rebuild their strength.


    When the dust settled, a gruesome show presented itself to the spectators. The joint assault of Golems'' enchantments and Yggdrasill''s spells had pierced through Spirit Barriers and Davross armor.


    Thanks to Orion''s Life Maelstrom and defensive abilities, Lith had only lost his left arm and half of his head. The others were reduced to a shapeless pulp of flesh, wood, and metal.


    "We have to get out of here!" Orion had suffered minor wounds and used his Blade Tier Spell, Elemental Sonata, to push the flaming Griffon Fetters away while his allies regenerated.


    They shared the Titania''s regenerating ability so as long as there was fertile soil they had everything they needed to recover. Yet healing from such grievous wounds would put a strain on their life forces, if they did it too often.


    ''Let me help you.'' Lith used Domination to share control of Orion''s Blade Spell while using the Eyes of Menadion to find the weak spots of the Fetters and the Ears to follow the mana flow of the Tree''s spell and use it as a conduit for Elemental Sonata.


    The Blade Spell pierced through the chain links and coursed through them, destroying Griffon Fetters from the inside. Even with Lith''s guidance, Orion lacked the mana to destroy such a widespread net so Lith reinforced Elemental Sonata with the Hands.


    ''It would be no different from dying of natural causes and the Brood wouldn''t care either.'' The Elder Wyrm cursed the hypocrisy of his brethren and pushed forward. "Lith needs our help. He shouted in the communication amulet to overcome the din of battle. "The World Tree has noticed him and is wearing him down."


    "Tough luck!" Silverspire''s Silver Warrior trembled as another Annihilation shook its foundations. "He''s against two units of Golems. We are dealing with dozens of them!"


    "Lochra is right, Valtak." Bloodhaven kept regenerating, yet it always missed at least one limb. "We are doing what we can. If we break our formation, the Yggdrasill will kill us in seconds and Lith is going to be next."


    I was saving this for later, but I have no choice left.'' Baba Yaga was slowly getting cornered by the coordinated assault of the Golem units. If only the world energy of the Fringe answered my command as it does on the outside, the Yggdrasill would never manage to restrict me like this.''


    Eight doors opened on the wooden surface of Bloodhaven releasing the Firstborns Undead.


    Letting them come out of a single corridor would have meant offering an easy target. Dawn swooped in, unleashing another Rising Sun to give the undead the time to


    converge.


    The Firstborn Banshee and Wendigo screamed together to generate a massive shockwave that froze everything in its wake and drained its energy. The Golems were temporarily slowed down while the elves bled from their eyes, mouths, and ears. The First Blood Witch collected the elven essence, turning half of it into Blood Maelstrom to empower her allies and the other half in blood spells that decimated the living.


    Fresh blood still contained traces of life force and Spirit Magic and Esizah rekindled them both, turning the inert matter into pure energy. She used the blood to weave powerful tier five Spirit Spells without expending an iota of the mana stored in her blood


    core.


    The Firstborn Mage Slayer bathed in the enemy''s onslaught, his misty body absorbing all elements but darkness that he dispatched with swift movements of his sword.
