Chapter 123: Tesla Anchor
"They will explode one second after perishing or if you attack their heads with enough strength, causing an explosion with a 5-meter diameter. They are not strong but very fast!" Vlad shouted before clutching his sword with both hands. The key to facing them was to kill them from a moderate distance so he could use his Force Skill.
Jormungandr remained on Vlad’s shoulder, his eyes sharp as he stared at the Corrupted Lightning Elementals, and his energy began to rise higher and higher.
Using lightning spells against Thunder Elementals was not very different from trying to turn off a bonfire with gasoline. However, there was no way Jormungandr wouldn’t have a method to handle enemies nearly impervious to the spell specialization he had chosen.
"Tesla Anchor!" A glowing blue energy coalesced around the small yellow cat’s mouth, which then extended into the air, coalescing dozens of meters in the sky, forming a large, ethereal anchor composed of crackling electric energy and arcane symbols.
"HUUUUMMMMMMMM!"
The anchor emitted a constant hum and sparkled with electrical energy, creating an aura that attracted and absorbed lightning in the air and the ground. If that were all, it would not be of any use in the fight since the lack of environmental lightning energy did not make a difference for the Corrupted Thunder Elementals, but the spell had a second level.
Jormungandr’s eyes burned with focus as he channeled the full might of his energy pool into the anchor, pushing the power of the spell to the next level, not only attracting but forcibly absorbing any form of lightning in the area.
A flash of shock appeared in the Corrupted Lightning Elementals as they saw how the anchor was absorbing not only the lightning in their surroundings but also the lightning inside their bodies. The anchor was essentially consuming their lifeblood, the substance that kept their elemental bodies working.
"AHHHH!" The Corrupted Lightning Elementals seemed to enter a frenzy as they saw the lightning in their bodies being absorbed by the anchor. So they marched toward the little cat that was casting the spell, using thunderous force to propel themselves at a shocking speed.
Vlad, Freya, and Grey Hawk did not remain idle, each of them attacking the Corrupted Lightning Elementals with all their power. The trio knew just how important the Tesla Anchor was on the battlefield, so Vlad immediately began to strike the incoming elementals while the vikings intercepted their paths.
Vlad moved with lethal efficiency, his sword a blur of motion as he cut through the approaching elementals. He used Force Skills to unleash arcs of energy that sliced through their chests, pushing them back and preventing their explosions from causing harm. When an elemental got too close, Vlad kicked it away with a powerful strike, sending it tumbling back to explode harmlessly.
