Chapter 47: Fight Against the Earth Mage Part 1
The mage exploded forward, his hammer raised in the air as he prepared to bring it down.
Charon, thinking quickly, ordered one of the skeletons forward. It surged in, bringing its small shield up to block the strike.
The weapon hit the shield with a massive ring, the summon’s arm breaking under the pressure. The limb fell to the ground, leaving it open to more attacks. With a thought, Charon had it thrust the sword forward, but it was knocked aside by the mage’s hand.
With another swing of the hammer, the skeleton was destroyed, its bones crumbling into a small pile.
Pain shot up Charon’s spine as his connection to the summon vanished. He was overcome with chills and grabbed his chest. He ordered the next summons forward out of desperation, hoping that numbers could overwhelm the mage.
Bones rattled as they advanced, swords and shields raised to intercept the next attack.
The mage shook his head.
"This is your best attempt? I had heard the mages of the Fort were impressive, yet all I see are a couple of scared children playing at war."
His warhammer was brought high into the sky before slamming down on the ground. Cracks appeared in the street, branching out like a spider web. They spread under the skeletons, knocking them off balance.
Wasting no time, their opponent swung the hammer and smashed two of the skeletal fighters, their bodies shattering into pieces.
Charon stumbled as another wave of pain hit him, his head beginning to throb.
’They are breaking so easily!’
