Brigante Ark - Chapter 177

Noora felt the air grew hotter. She glanced up and saw a red beam launching at her position. The sorceress had leapt and evaded the attack. The beam whizzed through the tree, and exploded few steps behind her. Thankfully, the tree she conjured had protected her. Roots began to spread over the hole of the tree and regenerated back to its former.

Noora chuckled. “Is that a confirmation that you accept my challenge? Well, certainly you will not back down to my provocations.”

The lady had conjured several spells. The spell was specifically made to summoned creatures. The insignia added to the letters had binded those creatures and to this world for them to bridge for her bidding.

The ground shook, and one by one, the ground dug itself, revealing monsters from another realm. A tambawo, is a mystical creature that is humanoid but was made in wood. The next of her summon was a basilisk, a serpent-like creature, it is considered as the king of serpents as its tall as 10 feet and is capable of petrifying its victims with its stare. Next is the beninghols, this time they are less hostile as if they were trained to follow commands.

The tall rusty gate groaned and the eroded chains clang against the pull of the crank handle on a wheel. As the gates open, she saw behind the portcullis the undead knights in formation.

When the gates are finally open, the undead knights march forward.

“Onward!” Noora commanded.

As he sorceress monsters began to charged forward, the large roots of the huge tree started to grow mushrooms. It detached from the roots and shoot out to the sky. Upon their entry, the mushrooms burns and crashed on the barracks and old houses.

A continuous loud occurred that broke the formation of some undead knights. Only few of the undead knights were pinned down, some managed to pull theirselves together and stitched back their bones with their armor and sword.

The army of undead and the sorceress monsters began their fight. The basilisks divide themselves into smallar pieces and started to crawl over the tambawos and beninghols and few other monsters on its reach.

As the two clashed, the basilisks leaped and wrapped the undead knights, restricting its movements. Comparing the undead knights to them, their movements were sluggish, comprehensible, the only advantage they have is destructive power and numbers. Surely, the undead knights was able to overwhelmed them in numbers at the start of their bout, but after few minutes, the sorceress monsters was able to turn the tide on their side.

The tambawo ripped its arm away from its sword and the beninghol burn the undead knight with its fireball. Aside from holy spells, fire magic can affect any undead monster, not as much as lethal as holy spells, but if precise enough, it would a fatal damage.

Noora waves her hands once more, beseeching the roots to spew out another hail of mushrooms. This time, the mushrooms didn’t explode only but expanded and grew as to the size of a regular tree.

Alastor had saw how quick the events turns. He was in complete awe seeing of her power. Noora has able to neutralize a large sum of enemies while minimizing her loss.

Comparing these two parties, they have the power that can match against a kingdom, let alone of them.

The undead knights had flee their post and proceeds to the other gate, in rushed to stop the intruders. Alastor hastily moves inside the walls of kingdoms. He swiftly moves from corners to corners following the map she had given to him. At first, he was cautious to his surroundings, always peering in the corners to make sure that there is none, but it was the next moment he got himself into trouble.

Alastor made a sharp right turn, and to his surprise, he encounters undead knights, the numbers was up to 15.

“Oh fuck.” He muttered under his breath.

The undead knights who wasn’t fettered in confusion immediately drew their blades, charged. Alastor quickly shifted his gaze around.

Behind the lines of undead, there’s a enclosure pathway. The problem is how would he able to get through them.

Alastor evaded the first striked. He slipped through and blocked the enemy’s sword. Then he uses flamen to blast the enemy on his right. It wasn’t strong but the force was enough to lose their balance and fell on the ground.

Alastor slide down and slash the enemies feet, following was the spell biendo conjured to the last enemy. He hike in his spell transcendent wall flat in the air and flipped past them before skiddying to the pathway.

The undead knights stitch themselves together, but before they can make a move, a fireball alike to a cannonball had crashed over them, followed by several more. Thereafter, roots suddenly crept out from the holes and sprung the trees out of it.

What entails next is that her creation had wrapped the enemies with its overgrown vines. The trees had ensured that the monsters won’t be able to distract Alastor in his way. But the undead are without a doubt not going down without a fight.

A single undead archer from rooftop picked up its horn, blowned it. Its attention returns to Alastor as he dash forward. The undead pulled the strings of the bow and let the arrow loose.

Alastor evasively moved in his right, barely making it through as he felt the arrow purred behind him. He then turned left to avoid the undead.

Thankfully, Noora had his back. The sorceress waves her hand and the vines of the trees followed her navigation and oblirated the undead in the pile of structures.

Alastor came in front the castle. The gate was locked and nowhere he would be able to get inside, not without getting unscathed by the archers atop of their respective towers.

Regardless their sluggish actions, the undead archers managed to detect him from the last second when he tried to hide. But, to no less, their vision is still limited.

Through the trees, Noora sensed the sudden halt of movements of Alastor.

“So, that’s the reason, huh.” She spoke to herself.

Another bulged of mushrooms appeared and shooted out to the sky. It was intended to hit on the tower, but to no avail, it landed outside the walls. Gigantic mushrooms and trees grew immediately. From there, monsters have spawned out from it. The beninghols and tambawos leapt from the trees over the towers and killed the rest of the monsters.

Watching from his tower, Dimiscus had a laughed over their thwart against the undead archers in the towers.

“What progress she has made. Her monsters are strong enough to repel my undead knights.”

He poured himself a drink.

“They’re not even close to winning yet. No matter. The fun is yet to start.”

Dimiscus conjured a light in his hand. He clenches and threw it out of the window. The light turn to brimming dust and it reaches in the courtyard.

The land shook and rumbled.
