The battle in the town raged as buildings burned. The air was hot and choked with smoke.
Lysander finally saw his daughter far away. Her scream made him turn back but her scream wasn’t the only thing he heard. A loud cry rang right after and a giant eagle swooped down.
The gale generated by its mighty wings forced him backward. Lysander looked at the eagle and the snow elves who were not too far away from her.
He turned, racing for his daughter. The elf mander watching from the back of his giant eagle scoffed, drew his sword whose hilt looked like wings.
"You disappoint me, Lysander." The elf mander muttered to himself as he flickered, his coat fluttering and appeared beside Lysander, swinging her sword horizontally.
Lysander leaped over the sword but the elf mander caught the back of his collar and pulled him back.
As Lysander slammed the earth, ice burst out of his wrist and shin, forcing the town head to scream with wide eyes while the mander calmly walked past him, heading for Tindra.
"Touch her and I’ll rip you apart!" Lysander screamed even louder, pulling one arm out of the ice. His body trembled but he pulled the other out.
The elf mander stopped and watched as Lysander beared the pain to rise up. His ice cold eyes gleamed.
"You’re like the progenitor of your kind. Wood Elves, the lowest of all elves. I find my mission to wipe you out insulting but to think... one of my kind dare produce this unknown existence with you." The mander looked at Tindra who was slammed to the ground by an assassin. She was nothing before these war veterans who had lived a couple hundred years at least.
"Let us be!" Lysander rose to his feet.
"Orders were to exterminate the wood elves of this forest but your daughter is different. I will have to take her back."
Lysander picked up his axe and took three steps before two arrows pierced his back, sending him right back to the ground.
The elf mander approached Tindra who struggled against the assassin as she watched her father struggle to rise up once more.
At that moment, the elf mander saw something bright in the sky. He squinted, but quickly discovered that it was actually a man.
Godfrey suspended mid air, his wings acting as anchors.
Godfrey couldn’t believe the town he walked into some hours ago now burned like hell. Those graceful creatures were slaughtered or burned and the town head looked like he wasn’t far from the grave while these snow elves stood in this burning hell like messengers of death.
His eyes went to Tindra. Tears spilled down her soot stained face and not far from her stood a man he would call the boss.
He was tall and his aura as Godfrey could sense was that of a 17. 5 Saint Tier! That elf mander was the strongest boss he had ever faced till date.
"I heard you have two knights. Summon them." The elf mander said, like he was manding a soldier under him.
Godfrey smiled coldly. "You heard wrong." He said as his feet touched the ground. He clenched his fist and crushed the heads of the assassins beside Tindra.
Circular golden diagrams appeared beside and behind him, unleashing all four of his summons. Dirge at his right side, Lament at his left, Tempest above him with his lightning tendril wings spread out, and Mountain behind him.
His head couldn’t go beyond Mountain’s waist as the golden behemoth stood with one arm wrapped around his spear, the other around his shield with his sword at his back.
Tempest, now a mander, held his Double-Bladed Greatsword in Black-Out State, with lightning crackling softly as if waiting to strike.
Lament’s warhorse neighed softly as the Mounted Knight placed the bottom of his mighty halberd on the ground. Dirge placed the bottom of her wand, the size of the longsword, on the ground as she rested both gauntleted hands with long metal claws on it.
Godfrey looked small pared to his knights yet he was their prince, their summoner and their master.
"You came here to annihilate the wood elves. Well..." Godfrey activated Echo and manifested a longsword. "I’m going to kill every last one of you and increase my army."
The moment he said that, Dirge activated her domain and summoned almost four hundred shadows. Demon Orcs all rose up with the gorilla roaring at the top of his lungs.
Golden lightning fell from the sky and thirty huge lightning bears appeared, led by a much bigger bear standing on its two hind legs with long, powerful arms and deadly claws.
The bear lord’s roar forced the flames around them backwards.
Mountain couldn’t copy their skill because of the special requirements involved but as Lament rose a hundred night cavaliers, Mountain rose two hundred dark armoured Heavy Infantry Knights.
These were the knights that had died in the fights he had summoned them to. Without Ballista, he couldn’t summon the living knights but with Lament, he could as well summon the dead ones.
Before the Snow elves shocked gaze, they were now against an army of six hundred. The elf mander’s eyes narrowed greatly.
"Let’s see who’s army is better." He said as over three hundred snow elves gathered. Godfrey knew they excelled at agility and could deal great damages but his knights excelled greatly at defence.
And they were immortal as long as he lived. This fight would be determined by the leaders which was him against the elf mander.
Both him and the elf mander lunged at each other at the same time. The elf mander swung his longsword at Godfrey.
He summoned an Echo of Mountain’s shield and blocked the strike.
Godfrey’s eyes gleamed but the damage reflection didn’t happen. In Black Out, he was an 18.1 Divine Tier. The power surging within him was massive and yet Mountain’s shield didn’t work on the elf mander.
’Something’s wrong!’ Godfrey thought as he discarded the shield, evaded the elf mander’s slash and grabbed his head.
The elf mander’s eyes widened as Godfrey lifted him off the ground and tossed him. He flew right through multiple buildings and some boulders, hitting the earth several times before sliding to a stop over a thousand feet away.
Godfrey stood five hundred feet away. ’I knew something was odd.’ he said as the mander’s broken body rose back up and began to split open as if removing clothing.
The being inside had long gray hair and the moment it grabbed the sword, it became crimson.
Long blades that reached its knees came out of the space between the knuckles of his left arm.
Its aura was 18.3.
It was a Divine Tier boss.
