Chapter 97: Less Talk
Warlock Ch 97. Less Talk
Damian's heart pounded as he took in the sight of these opponents. Cassius clearly meant for this to be more than just a warm-up.
Cassius's eyes flicked to him, a slight tilt of his head as he spoke, his tone as dry as ever. "Expecting a compliment, were you?"
Damian let out a nervous chuckle, trying to keep his cool. "No, not really. Just thought maybe you'd have a… tip or something."
Cassius's expression didn't change. "Less talk, more practice," he replied calmly, his voice carrying an edge of challenge. "This time, I want to test your fighting skills and teamwork. Prove to me that this team of yours can handle real threats."
Damian took a steadying breath, glancing at Fenrith and Bloodwing Raven, who both stood at his side, poised and ready. He could sense their focus, their resolve, and it filled him with a renewed sense of determination.
"Alright, team," he muttered, his eyes narrowing as he analyzed their opponents. "Let's show him what we've got."
The three enemy servants moved first, closing in from different angles. The Molten Guardian let out a deep, rumbling growl as it raised a hand, flames gathering around its fist before it charged with [Magma Rush], leaving a trail of molten lava in its wake. The Void Wraith blinked in and out of existence, its form shifting as it circled around, waiting for an opening, while the Stormbeast's fur bristled with energy, its gaze locked onto Damian.
"Bloodwing, keep the Stormbeast distracted! Fenrith, you're with me on the Guardian!" Damian called, formulating his strategy on the fly.
The Bloodwing Raven let out a piercing [Screech of Terror], directing it toward the Stormbeast. The creature flinched, its movements faltering as the sound disoriented it, giving Bloodwing Raven the opening it needed to swoop down, keeping the Stormbeast occupied.
Meanwhile, Fenrith lunged forward with a ferocious snarl, his claws digging into the ground as he charged the Molten Guardian. Damian followed close behind, his hand raised as he gathered energy for [Dark Chains]. He had to bind the Guardian if they wanted to stand a chance.
As they closed in, the Molten Guardian raised its fist, flames bursting forth as it prepared to unleash [Flame Strike]. Damian's eyes narrowed, his focus razor-sharp.
"[Dark Chains]!" he shouted, the dark tendrils shooting forward, wrapping around the Guardian's arm and immobilizing it just as it was about to strike. The chains tightened, sapping the creature's strength as it struggled against the binding.
[Molten Guardian's Power reduced by 30%].
"Fenrith, now!" Damian yelled.
Fenrith leaped at the Guardian, his jaws clamping down on its shoulder with a vicious [Savage Bite]. The creature let out a deep, rumbling growl as it staggered back, flames flickering around it as it tried to shake Fenrith off.
[Molten Guardian] took 184 damage.
The Void Wraith, however, was not idle. It blinked into existence just behind Damian, reaching out with a shadowy hand to unleash [Soul Drain]. Damian felt a cold, draining sensation as the spell took hold, sapping his energy.
"Not so fast!" he gritted out, summoning his [Shadow Barrier] to block the Wraith's next attack. The barrier absorbed the worst of the energy, giving him a moment's reprieve.
The Stormbeast, meanwhile, had recovered from Bloodwing Raven's screech. It growled, arcs of electricity crackling along its mane as it prepared to launch [Electric Surge]. Bloodwing Raven flapped its wings, staying just out of reach, but the Stormbeast was relentless, jumping up with a powerful leap to get closer.
"Bloodwing, use [Life Siphon]!" Damian ordered.
The raven complied, extending its talons as a dark energy flowed from the Stormbeast to it, siphoning its health and weakening it momentarily.
[Stormbeast] took 145 damage.
The Molten Guardian roared, managing to break free of the dark chains, flames surging around it as it prepared to strike again. Damian backed up, his mind racing as he tried to think of a way to neutralize it.
"Fine," he muttered, gathering his energy once more. "[Hellfire Spear]!"
A blazing spear of dark flames formed in his hand, the heat intense as he hurled it directly at the Guardian's chest. The spear struck true, piercing through its armor with a fiery explosion.
[Molten Guardian] took 210 damage.
The creature staggered, flames sputtering as it tried to recover, but Damian wasn't done yet. He reached out, activating [Dark Dominion], the ground around him darkening as shadows spread in a fifteen-meter radius, sapping the strength of the Guardian, the Wraith, and the Stormbeast alike.
[Molten Guardian, Void Wraith, Stormbeast took 150 damage per second].
The dark energy pulsed, dealing continuous damage as the three opponents struggled within its range. Damian felt a surge of adrenaline, his mind clear as he coordinated his next move.
"Fenrith, [Triple Roar] on the Void Wraith! Bloodwing, keep the Stormbeast busy with [Bloodstorm]!"
Fenrith let out a powerful, echoing roar, the sound waves rippling through the air and disrupting the Wraith's form, causing it to flicker and lose focus.
[Void Wraith] took 120 damage.
Bloodwing Raven summoned a swirling vortex of dark red energy, the [Bloodstorm] enveloping the Stormbeast and keeping it trapped within the violent winds. The creature howled, its fur crackling with electricity as it tried to fight its way out, but the storm's intensity kept it contained.
[Stormbeast] took 165 damage.
The Void Wraith shifted, slipping out of Fenrith's range with [Shadow Blink], reappearing behind Damian with a deadly, silent focus. It reached out, its spectral fingers brushing Damian's back in an attempt to drain his life force again.
Damian spun around, his eyes flashing as he cast [Arcane Bolt], the energy chaining out to strike the Void Wraith, then the Molten Guardian, and finally, the Stormbeast in rapid succession.
[Void Wraith] took 132 damage.
[Molten Guardian] took 143 damage.
[Stormbeast] took 121 damage.
With a growl, the Molten Guardian staggered, its HP dropping dangerously low. Damian knew he needed to finish it off quickly before it could recover.
"Fenrith, go for the kill! [Savage Bite] on the Guardian!"
