Capítulo 70: Killing Field, Part 2

Despite my spell causing the earth below to explode upward, wrapping the snake women and lizardmen in a cloud of dust and smoke and billowing flames, Liara didn't seem overly impressed. And, not surprisingly, the she-elf was planning to show me up yet again. 

I watched her cast "Īsaz!" into a cluster of hobgoblins, and with the 'Ice Rune' exploding out of her runestone, three-foot ice spikes spread out of the impact zone and pierced the flame-resistant bastards who could do nothing against their opposite element's increased damage effects. 

Interestingly, I didn't get to finish my song. Zen had done that for me as he cast a "Hagalaz" rune on a group of ghouls and sent them flying away with gale-force winds. 

"…It was always burning since the world's been turning," he sang. 

"Oh, gods, not you too," Liara sighed. 

"What do you have against singing?" I asked.
