Chapter 392 - 269: Wind Fuels the Fire, the Blood Elf Berserker Unleashes Blood Blade Storm
The Wind Elemental Lord and the Fire Elemental Lord were instantly enraged when they saw that the spell cast by the opposing Vampire Mage Corps had actually blocked their attack.
Although the Wind Elemental Lord and the Fire Elemental Lord possessed Legendary Level strength, not every one of their attacks could be a Forbidden Curse Spell, much like a Legendary Mage. After being weakened by the environment of the Dark Plane, their attack had been stopped by the Vampire Mage Corps at the cost of Life Overdraft.
According to their contract, the Wind Elemental Lord and the Fire Elemental Lord only had one minute and twenty seconds remaining. If they failed to complete their task within the allotted time, they would have to cough up double the treasures they had received.
Thus, for the sake of the Magic Materials that matched their own elements and could increase their power when devoured, the summoned Wind Elemental Lord and Fire Elemental Lord—complete strangers to one another—let their Spiritual Powers intertwine in the air. After reaching a consensus, they launched a new attack.
Wind-attribute Magic Power swiftly gathered around the Wind Elemental Lord, letting out a piercing shriek. The Wind Elemental Lord’s body, which had been corporeal and visible, dissolved completely into the surrounding wind the very next moment.
In an instant, the surrounding air currents began to rotate clockwise. One second, two seconds, three seconds passed as the effect grew from 10 meters to 20, then 30. A massive tornado instantly began to swirl around the Teleportation Gate on the Blood-colored Plain.
The Blood-colored Teleportation Gate had been formed from the power of a Divine Artifact, so it remained undamaged. For the defending Bloodline Corps and other Vampire Corps, however, it was a completely different story. The howling gales made it impossible for them to keep their footing.
Meanwhile, the outer edge of the tornado was rife with azure wind blades so condensed they seemed tangible. They rained down like a torrential storm, endlessly slashing at the Ninth Level Defense Spell—the Blood Demon Wall. SCREECH! The wind blades struck the blood-colored barrier, producing a teeth-grating cutting sound.
The magical barrier trembled, and the fissures that had just begun to mend were split open again by new cracks forming at a rate visible to the naked eye. At that moment, the Fire Elemental Lord added fuel to the fire.
The Fire Elemental Lord took a deep breath, causing the Fire Elements across the Blood-colored Plain to immediately converge upon it. Although the plane the vampires inhabited was a Large Dark Plane where the Fire Element was scarcer than in a normal natural plane, the Fire Elemental Lord also possessed its own Magic Power. With it, an incandescent white pillar of fire erupted forth.
When the incandescent white pillar of fire, aided by the gales, struck the blood-colored barrier at its most fractured point, the Ninth Level spell—the Blood Demon Wall—could no longer hold.
BOOM!
With a tremendous crash, shards of the blood-colored barrier scattered in all directions like broken glass. Since the barrier was made of Magic Power, its fragments gradually reverted to raw magic and returned to the environment as they flew. With their Combined Spellcasting brutally shattered, the participating Vampire Mages all suffered the backlash at once. Each spat out a mouthful of blood and grew listless.
The first line of defense established by Vampire Count Elvin had been broken. The Bloodline Corps at the forefront of the Vampire Corps was now wide open, completely exposed to the Wind and Fire Elemental Lords. And now, only one minute remained before they would disappear.
"Blood Beasts, move up and hold the line!"
"Stone Golem Corps, draw their attention from the air!"
"Mage Corps, cast spells to counter them!"
Sensing the threat, and realizing the two Elemental Life forms before him were stronger than he was, Vampire Count Elvin knew he would be powerless against them himself. He immediately issued new orders.
However, all was not lost. The plane connected to the Blood-colored Teleportation Gate can’t possibly be of a higher level than this Large Dark Plane. Therefore, the Elemental Life forms they’ve sent out definitely aren’t native to their plane. They must have been summoned! Since they’re summoned beings, there must be a time limit on how long they can exist. So, all I have to do is hold out until their summons disappear. I don’t know how the plane on the other side managed to summon such powerful Elemental Life forms and deploy them onto the battlefield... but as long as we can withstand their first offensive, time is definitely on our side! Vampire Count Elvin thought.
Upon receiving their orders, two enormous Blood Beasts from the rear of the Vampire Corps strode forward with earth-shaking steps. They moved to the very front of the defensive line, intending to block the two Elemental Lords’ next attack. At the same time, gargoyle puppets crafted by the Vampire Mages soared into the sky, charging toward the Fire Elemental Lord like moths to a flame.
Why did they charge the Fire Elemental Lord and not the Wind Elemental Lord? Of course, it was because the Wind Elemental Lord was no longer visible.
In the rear, the Blood Witches and Blood Mages who had prepared Curse Magic and Weakening Magic acted on Vampire Count Elvin’s orders. On the off chance it might work, they hurled their spells at the incorporeal Elemental Lord.
However, the incorporeal Elemental Lord possessed extremely high resistance to Curse Magic and Weakening Magic. Its movements only faltered for a moment before the storm it had raised shredded the gargoyle puppets flying toward it through the sky.
