Capítulo 198: Unspeakable Things

"Is that it?"

...

Rhasta frowns, "What do you mean? I just showed you. Are you not impressed!?" the Shadow Shaman exclaims, clearly surprised by Michael's indifference.

Michael shrugs, "I mean, compared to everything else, it's kinda weak, don't you think?" he says, knowing he could probably cause the same damage with a Gandalfr enhanced kick...? No, probably not, but many with like ten more points in strength? Still, Ether Shock would easily do that much damage and more.

Rhasta shakes his head, "Clearly you don't understand the spell. It multiplies the strength of one attack. I created it when I was younger and dreaming of becoming a warrior," he shakes his head with mirth, "It is useless for me now, I am too weak to run faster than a jog, but for you? It could be very impressive!"

Michael slowly nods, understanding the utility of the spell. Still, from what he saw, Rhasta had needed to use his Serpent Ward to actually cast it. "And I can learn it, right? Without needing a Contracted Spirit?"

Rhasta goes to speak but trails off, "Ah, no... To use it you would probably have to summon my Serpents... Still, our deal was one spell! This is that, and you will learn or not! Either way, you will now do what I say with your mouth firmly closed!"

...

Michael lets out a sigh, "Fine. But I'll get you back for this, old man." he grouses, but still sits down before Rhasta to start learning how to cast it.

Flashback end :

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Michael grimaces as he recalls those training sessions... Rhasta had thought it sensible for him to know what it felt like to be hit by the spell, said he was teaching his body the 'feel' of it. Michael was sure the old man was just taking out his frustration at his inability to instantly learn the spell though.

Still, he'd eventually managed it, and the new spell had even become visible in the Book of Heroes, which was kinda surprising if he were honest.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Spirit : Shadow Shaman

Level : MAX

Abilities :

Carnival Tricks (Rank 4) : Allows user to form ephemeral shapes, creatures, and patterns to amuse, distract, or frighten.

Ether Shock (Rank 4) : Casts a cone of ethereal energy that strikes multiple enemies.

Hex (Rank 4) : Temporarily transforms the target into a harmless chicken.

Shackle (Rank 4) : Magically binds an enemy in ethereal threads while also dealing damage throughout the duration

Serpent Wards (Rank 3) : Summons multiple Serpent Wards to attack any nearby enemies.

Ether Strike (Rank 1) : Uses a Contracted Spirit to enhance a single strike. Damage is multiplied depending on the mana used and the base strength of the attack itself.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Apprently, spells, skills, and abilities taught by his Spirits would appear under whoever had taught it. Thus his Ether Strike spell coming under the category of his Shadow Shaman spirit.

The spell was useful, though, he hadn't actually cast it outside of Rhasta's realm. There were a few problems he'd found with it though... The first being that he couldn't use Mana Break with it, as the Mana Break effect would dissipate the mana gathered by the Contracted Spirit, in his case, the Serpent Spirit he'd borrowed from Rhasta.

Still, with his Gandalfr Runes active and using his full strength, he was able to obliterate a hardwood tree thicker than three men's waists. He'd had to borrow one of Rhasta's Spirits for it, but the damage was well worth the cost.

His training with Riki was steadily progressing too, but his most difficult sessions came whenever he challenged Slark. And boy, that fish could pack a punch. Unlike Rhasta who could obliterate him with magic, or Riki who'd slit your throat without you even noticing, Slark was a beast at brawling.

His abilities made him able to take huge amounts of damage and easily recover(Not that Michael had ever gotten him to that point), and his speed made it difficult to even keep an eye on him, let alone actually hit him.

Usually, their fights lasted around ten seconds? Depending on how long Slark wanted to taunt him. Something Michael was able to evade a couple strikes before being shredded to ribbons. Still, despite how painful it could be, it was good experience, and he was steadily learning how to counter the annoying fish prick.

Michael shakes his head, concentrating on the task at hand. Tiffania was finally confident enough to actually attempt the Teleportation Gate spell. She was attempting to open a door connecting two sides of the small clearing, and boy, was the chant to actually cast this spell fuckin' long!

A minute of chanting later, Tiffania swipes her hands in opposite directions, causing a black rift in reality to open up. It was around 8ft, and 4ft wide, another identical door opened on the other side of the clearing, but Michael wasn't able to see through to the other side of the door, as if something was blocking it.

An ominous black mist slowly started leaking from it, and visible black ripples seemed to echo from it, turning the nearby grass and other foliage black as they began to rot... No, not rot, mutate.

"Shut it off, Tiff! I don't know what it's doing, but it can't be good!" he quickly says, not wanting to bring a zombie apocalypse to this world... At least, not before he left.

Tiffania nods and points her wand at the door, but it doesn't close at her command, forcing her to start chanting another spell specifically designed for this situation... Apparently, Brimir too had issues when he created this particular spell.

*Ssssshhhhoooooooo*

The sound of whistling wind echoes around the clearing, but there wasn't even a small breeze blowing past... A pure black limb, dripping with ooze-like liquid begins to extract itself from the door and Michael jumps into action, slamming Derflinger down at it despite the sword's protests.

*Shuuu!*

Only for a strange sensation to occur... His blade passes through the arm as if it were liquid, and once it did, it felt like gravity was forcing his blade out of it, shooting Derflinger out of the creature's flesh.

Fortunately, Tiffania had finally completed her spell, causing the door to instantly slam shut, cutting the arm off and causing it to squirm around as it bled black blood. Strangely, its blood acted as if gravity were reversed, causing it to fly up to the sky... The eventually bled out entirely, leaving its black husk lying on the grass, still somehow causing nearby plantlife to rot.

Michael glances at Tiffania with apprehension, "Er, I think you need a bit more practise... Okay?"

Tiffania just nods, still staring at the arm in disgust and mild curiosity.

With that, Michael carefully stored the arm in his inventory, and promptly tried to forget about it, not wishing to contemplate what horrors existed between worlds... He could only hope that Tiffania wouldn't summon Cthulu with her next Teleportation Gate... Hopefully.

Capítulo 199: Unvasion...

"Okay men! Prepare yourselves! Once the beasts have charged, we will go in afterwards! We'll send those Germanian dogs back to their damned sand huts! And make them wish they'd never tried to invade our honourable lands!" an Albion commander screams at the top of his lungs while addressing his men, the small army roaring in response to his words.

He then turns to face the Germanian encampment, watching as their army of orcs, goblins, ogres, and whatever other monster could be found native to Albion.

*Raaaaaaarrrrrgh!*

A group of heavily muscled orcs charge, their arms raised and ready to swing their heavy-looking warhammers at anyone who gets too close, and their makeshift armour gleaming in the sunlight.

Each monster, depending on its strength, has been outfitted with some armour each... Goblins received basically nothing, maybe a scavenged helmet if they were lucky. But it was the orcs and ogres who truly made this force scary.

Each orc and ogre was outfitted with enough iron to fit a kitchen. it wasn't armour in the traditional sense, but iron bands that'd been bent to fit around their bodies, providing a good amount of protection from non-magical harm.

Germanian's fire arrows through the air, which cascade down like droplets of rain. Goblins die with one or two hits, their screams of agony and surprise ringing out through the battlefield, but is suppressed by the angry roars of the other fighters.

Orc and Ogre skin is too durable to be harmed by any half-hearted arrow, thus, any that are not deflected by their armour only go skin deep. Most of these stick, however, causing many monsters to start looking like hedgehogs, despite the fact that they were almost entirely uninjured.

Mages atop the makeshift wooden and magically conjured stone walls shoot fireballs and other magic at the approaching monsters, but the orcs and ogres just raise their arms or makeshift shields to block them, many of the wooden shields bursting into flames as they're struck.

The magic kills many of them, the wall-mounted cannons even more so, but eventually the creatures reach the Germanian defences.

*WWWWAAAAAAAAAAARRRGHHHHHHHHH!*

An orc screams in unison with his brothers as he crashes into the makeshift wall, stopping on a dime as his momentum is halted completely. Angered by this, the orc angrily starts slamming his warhammer into the tied together logs, leaving big gashes across it.

*Pooooush!*

The orc suddenly screams in agony as burning hot oil drops onto it from above, the defenders gloating as they prepare another barrel of oil and have a fire mage begin rapidly heating it.

Unfortunately for the Germanian's, the monster army was simply too large to easily eliminate with their current preparations. Such tactics and creatures had never been used in a war like this before, surprising the Germanian commanders who had little to no idea how a battle like this would pan out.

An ogre larger than the rest stomps towards the wall and slams its axe into it, before using the tool to begin prying the logs apart. This works marvellously, forcing open a gap large enough for many goblins to get through. Other orcs and ogres see this and begin doing it themselves, causing multiple breaches on multiple fronts.

Germanian Earth Mages attempt to halt this by reinforcing the defences, but many are forced to retreat as goblins and orcs begin throwing stones and large rocks at them. Indeed, Goblin had even started streaming up behind the mages after getting inside, killing many with savage stabs to their backs.

The Albion commander, seeing the battle going in their favour grins and raises his wand-swrod up high, "CHARGE MEN! FOR ALBION! FOR THE KING!" he roars, leading his men towards the Germanian fortifications.

Unfortunately, Germania weren't just lambs ready for the slaughter. They had other countermeasures, despite the peculiar situation.

Airships rise into the sky and begin unloading their cannons at the battlefield, killing many thousand Albion men and monsters alike. Small squadrons of Dragon Knights leap from the decks of the airships, beginning to unleash dragon fire and spells on any who oppose them.

This abrupt change in momentum causes many monsters to flee, trambling Albion soldiers underfoot as they run from the death and destruction caused by the Germanian military. Behind the walls, the Germanian footmen are finally able to begin pushing back the tides of monsters with most of the ones coming through the wall getting annihilated by the airforces.

The thing that struck the final nail in the coffin was when the Germanian log-wall abruptly burst into flames, the whole thing lighting up as if it'd been covered by oil and kindling the entire time. Many monsters who were crawling through it were quickly burned alive, with many fleeing at first sight of it, their instincts towards fire overpowering whatever effect the mind-control potion had on them.

When the monsters broke rank, so did the human Albion soldiers, all of them fleeing as quickly as possible despite the urgings of their leaders. The battle was done, and massively in favour of Germania.

With this single victory, almost forty percent of Albion's military had been annihilated. Leaving King Wales and his forces in an incredibly dire state... To most, the war was already finished with this battle alone, so even if King Wales continued to try and fight back, it'd be a loss regardless of what he did.

Albion's military was halved, the citizens were drained and most young men applicable for military service had already died due to the civil war and current one.

Everyone knew what they were seeing before them was the twilight days of Albion. And most wondered how long it'd be until it finally fell.
