Once Daimon and Jasmine successfully kidnapped Shirel, the Skelefiend army as well as the magic beast army were thrown into chaos.
"What are you doing idiots, everyone listen my command and put out those flames with an acid rain spell!".
One of the two middle stage Arch ranked Skelefiends, the one who managed to react on time to not suffer any wound from the previous surprise explosion to be more accurate, took over Shirel's authority and ordered the rest.
"Y-Yes sir", the Skelefiends who were lost a moment ago seemed to finally react, they stopped helping those who were heavily wounded by the explosion and then chanted in unison.
"Acid rain!".
A huge dark green cloud appeared above the battlefield before green rain poured out from it.
"Hisss!", loud sizzles could be heard when the rain made contact with the remaining white flames, it took nearly thirty seconds before the flames finally disappeared.
Only then the vice-general Dagur managed to make a count of the losses, his blood went cold as he noticed that nearly one third of the army was wiped out, but the real damage was about 50% of the army, because besides those who died immediately due to direct exposure to those white flames and being blown away due to the powerful explosion, others suffered horrible wounds, like missing limbs and third grade burns that reached their real bodies.
In other words, it was a slaughter, in comparison he noticed the magic beasts didn't have any casualties, besides some light burns here and there, which made him grit his teeth.
Dagur walked towards his comrade vice-general who helped him parry an explosion, to save group of their subordinates.
The other vice-general lost his right arm and half of his face had melted, damaging his bones, though the Skelefiend was still standing, the burn was hurting like hell, he had to put out the flames by flooding his body in his acid mana and even then, the sensation didn't disappear.
"That Lord told us we were at maximum dealing with someone whose battle prowess equaled an early-stage peak level Mortal realm enemy, for a couple of minutes… how in hell is this the power of someone weaker than us!", shouted the wounded Skelefiend.
Dagur sighed, he agreed with his companion, that attack though didn't have such a wide area compared to what they were able to cast, definitely surpassed what they were able to do, the raw damage behind it was comparable to a peak mortal realm's attack, and the destructivity of those flames was horrible, maybe because it had such a strong light element imbued into it.
"Why the hell didn't those beasts suffer at all!", yelled the burned vice-general, to which Neal and Kamir responded with a threatening hiss and screech, as they approached them.
But Dagur stepped in to avoid a internal fight to start.
"Enough Uly, magic beasts had tougher bodies than us, also that guy's element is our weakness and you know it… not to mention he specifically aimed it at us", said Dagur as he pointed at the large craters that were created due to the consecutive explosions that were triggered before.
In a range of about five kilometers, there were about fifty or so deep burnt craters from which smoke was still raising, the stone floor actually melted and turned into red burning molten lava, which was cooled down by the acid.
The wounded general softly snorted but didn't say anything else, stir up problems with the magic beasts was stupid as they were in an unfavorable position right now.
Dagur then took out a strange black plate, he dropped some of his blood into it and then spoke out loud.
"We were attacked and Lady Shirel was taken away, the perpetrator is the guy that Lord warned us about, our main target is travelling with him, he is going towards the other exit, we await instructions from general Tiberius".
A second later an angry somewhat agitated voice could be heard coming from the black plate.
"You fucking useless bastards, if something happens to the woman of Lord Horrorclaw do you think we'll be able to keep our limbs attached to out bodies, hurry up and come here… we are also being attacked!".
Dagur had a bitter expression, he wasn't Tiberius subordinate so he had not right to yell at him, but apparently the situation at their side was bad too.
"We suffered heavy losses, we only have about half of our previous numbers and vice-general Uly is in bad shape, I'll go there with half of our remaining forces, the rest will stay here to secure the exit".
"I don't care who comes, just hurry up!", shouted Tiberius before he cut the communication.
Dagur gritted his teeth and then he looked at the magic beasts, before saying.
"I know this is a bad start, but I need one of you two to tag along with me… I'll move fifty soldiers but I need help with the other fifty".
Dagur knew magic beasts hated others riding on top of them, unless they have recognized the other part as their contractor, or were ordered to by their alpha, and here none of those two conditions were met, and as he expected both Neal and Kamir put on threatening expressions.
The Skelefiend general had no option but to offer some compensation, with his heart bleeding he took out a hand sized blue sphere from his pocket, something which immediately drew the attention of all the magic beasts.
"This is the magic core of a water mage at the peak of the mortal realm, help me transport my subordinates and its yours", he said.
Kamir whose affinity is water nodded at Neal and then accepted the deal, of course he took the core and swallowed it but didn't refine it.
Dagur saw his reward from where he participated in the ambush to the Silver Dawn pirates, being gulped down by Kamir and his heart bled.
'Fuck, I was going to trade it with something that helped me advance… whatever Lady will surely compensate me for it', he thought before he shouted.
"I'll go lend a hand to general Tiberius, vice-general Uly is in charge, don't let anyone get to the secret exit, understood!".
The Skelefiends who had recovered some of their courage after those white flames disappeared, shouted in unison as they helped the wounded and then formed a circle near the boulder which led to the exit.
Neal and the whole pack of magic beasts also stood there to help "watch" the entrance, while Kamir allowed fifty Skelefiends to got up his body, with the exception of his head of course.
"Let's go!", after saying that, Dagur flew away helping fifty of his subordinates to fly alongside him, Kamir exchanged a gaze with Neal before he also soared into the sky soon disappearing in the horizon.
The two magic beasts were in awe at the fact that everything was going according to what the silver haired youth with which their boss has allied, said, if anything their respect for him had gone up another notch.
…
About a thousand kilometers away from the alternative exit, Daimon and Jasmine appeared on top of a small hill, Jasmine let go of Daimon's arm and Daimon then took a deep breath.
Daimon looked at his status, more specifically at his stamina and he sighed, a moment ago when he used that attack that blew away about 150 Lord ranks, he got a notification from the system, to which he didn't have time to pay attention, but now he looked at the log because he was feeling suddenly freaking tired.
[Ding]
[A new skill type has unlocked due to a specific action ]
[A new skill has been created due to a specific action]
[The level of trust of the daughter of the Northern Sky has been updated]
[Level of trust currently attained 15% à 17%]
Daimon's eyes glowed as he changed the tap to the skill tree, there was a new section added.
[Fusion Skill: A skill created with the help of an external object and the cooperation of someone whose lineage resonates with the host's]
[White Blaze Hell (Demon Light + Damage Buff + Holy Grenade) Lv1: By triggering the explosion of a compacted amount of battle aura, the host is able to create a chain of explosions whose damage multiplies per 1% each (added to the original boost used to activate the skill]
[Price: 80% of battle aura reserves + 50% of mana reserves]
[Duration: variable (5 seconds per each explosion)]
[Penalization: 50% of stamina of the host + 25% stamina from the buff caster]
[Cooldown: 1 Month]
'Damn, those are some harsh conditions', thought Daimon but that also explained why he suddenly felt tired, he sat down near a red mark which had exploded when they appeared on top of this hill.
"Switch is such a convenient thing", mumbled Daimon, unlike the skill blink, switch is the skill with which he changed the position of two things he had previously marked with his mana, though it required some preparation he could use switch all the way to the range of detection of his mana sense, which in Core Synchrony's state is about one thousand kilometers.
Switch is also one of the few skills that consumes "AP", instead of mana or battle aura, in other words is a skill which is only possible for him or his soulmates to acquire.
Jasmine saw Daimon's face which was a bit pale and though she was a bit tired herself, she started chanting to cast Silver Citadel though she knew she would faint if she used it twice in such a short period of time, but Daimon stopped her from doing so.
"Don't worry, I just need to catch up some breath", he said as he used the effect of the title he got when he saved Jasmine.
[Sanctuary has been activated, the host has chosen to recover stamina, proceed Y/N]
[Stamina 30% à 100%]
Daimon nodded and then all his fatigue vanished in a second, he felt fresh as a lettuce, even the tension caused by Core Synchrony went away, he used so much stamina due to having manipulated an insane amount of mana and battle aura at the same time, while in Core Synchrony state, only that dropped his stamina to about 10% in a single go, but Jasmine's Silver Citadel recovered 30% of his stamina as well as half of his mana, and then he spent another 10% when he used switch.
Daimon knew his body was monstrous enough to endure those hard drops, or he would have suffered horrible inner wounds, but he still felt dead tired after using switch.
Jasmine's noticed those white halos appearing in her eyes and then Daimon's expression changing from tired to perfectly fine, and she felt relieved without knowing why, unlike Mellie she still didn't know what her innate ability was, but her lineage resonated when Daimon used Sanctuary as it was linked to the renewed oath.
Daimon then got up and extended his hand towards Jasmine, while he carried the shrank black castle which trembled from time to time.
'Ten minutes more', thought Daimon before saying.
"Let's go".
"Mm", Jasmine held onto Daimon's arm and then they both disappeared from where they were standing.
The alternative exit was about 2000 kilometers from the main one, so Daimon had to use switch twice to get there, of course Daimon calculated how much time he needed, in case he wanted to rest a bit and for the other part of the plan to reach the point he needed.
…
Meanwhile near the main exit, chaos had risen, the air trembled as three figures, one cladded in blue light, two in black and one in dark green were clashing above on the sky, creating thunders each time they collided.
And that wasn't all, at the ground there was a sea of flames and lightning holding back the weaker Skelefiends, while ice spears and a black mist were forcing the pirates to retreat, though it was limited to the Lord ranks.
But the two Arch ranks in the enemy group were facing something which they found absurd… a floating black armored head and an arm, both cladded in green flame-like battle aura.
'What the hell is happening here', thought the Skelefiend and the pirate as they were forced backwards by the floating body parts.
