Chapter 122: Corrupted Thunder Elemental
The group kept moving forward faster and faster as they rose through the Nagan Mountain. They knew they could not outrun the Demonic Thunder Bats, as the beasts were fast and could fly. However, at a higher altitude, the density of the air was lower, making flying harder for winged beasts with such large bodies.
As they advanced, Vlad’s dual swords became a blur of motion, slicing through the swarm of bats with deadly precision. His eyes flicked from one target to another, never missing a beat.
Freya’s mace swung in wide arcs, each impact sending shockwaves through the air and smashing the bats into the ground. Her shield deflected their attacks, and she moved with ferocious skill. Shattered corpses blasted all around her with every swing of her weapon.
Jormungandr’s control over the lightning waves proved invaluable. The spells darted through the air, illuminated the sky, and left a trail of smoldering remains.
With icy determination, Grey Hawk continued to launch frost blasts in all directions, always aiming at the most dense pack of bats. His eyes never left the sky, precisely tracking the bats’ movements and determining where his attack would do the most damage.
The spellcasters unleashed torrents of magical energy, which provided the bulk of the killing power. They created a lethal web that few bats could escape, butchering dozens every second. However, even that formidable killing speed did not seem to make a difference, as there were simply too many bats, and no matter how many perished, they kept attacking with utter ferocity.
The group pushed on, their pace relentless. Blood trickled from their ears and noses due to the bats’ ultrasonic electric waves, but they ignored the pain, focusing only on moving forward.
Luckily, things began to improve as they neared the three-thousand-meter mark since the thinning air began to take its toll on the bats. Their movements became sluggish, and their attacks less coordinated.
Sensing the shift, Vlad called out, "They’re slowing down! Keep pushing forward!"
