Chương 64: Chapter 64 - Fighting the horde

The air crackled with aetherium energy as Erik and Emily prepared to face the ghoulish onslaught. 

Erik's body was encased in a thin sheet of ice through which lightning seemed to crackle and pop. They almost appeared to be combined elements, but instead, lightning simply ran through the armour behind the ice.

Erik first had to reach the second rank with his ice affinity before he could even begin combining the two elements, mainly because ice couldn't usually conduct electricity.

Meanwhile, Emily was surrounded by many small black orbs capable of taking any form she liked.

Such was Emily's first spell. As a second-rank Arcanist, Emily naturally had two glyphs, each with its own spell. 

While her second spell focused on dominating and enslaving others, her first spell involved conjuring these small black orbs that could take any shape as if they were made of water and had a highly penetrative and even corrosive quality.
