Chapter 534: Walk like a necromancer
Electricity started to gather around Sofia’s staff and in the choir skulls’ mouths. The light was getting suppressed by the palace’s strange darkness, but the crackling electricity existed nonetheless, and before the ghost got to even do anything, the wide array of Sirhellion skulls showered the ghost with lightning, sending sparks and loose currents flying in all directions.
Out of the interesting things that Sofia got to learn from Eternam’s necromancy classes, the fact that the volatility of lightning when mixed with mana was great to incapacitate ghosts had not been forgotten. Sofia was also protected from the rampaging electricity, first thanks to the passive protection offered by the bolt, then by [Singularity edict].
Yet, Sister Meilyss stood in her spot, unaffected. Raising a hand, she summoned a swarm of ghostly mechanical spiders flooding the room.
Sofia instantly unsummoned the choir as the skulls were getting jumped on and quickly broken by the ghostly spiders, which she herself was barely managing to avoid.
A ghost immune to lightning. Sofia thought, releasing the weak piercing bolt she had been charging at the ghost, and watching it harmlessly pass through her.
Just my luck.
The ghostly spiders were knocking over the candelabras that had survived the choir’s electricity, and the room was starting to rapidly turn dark. Sister Meilyss unleashed a continuous barrage of electricity at Sofia, which only shaved off a few thousand health points before Sofia answered with a skill of her own, as the room was plunged into complete darkness, with the many ghosts being the only thing visible. Using three million mana, Sofia unleashed a violent beam of mana at Sister Meilyss and all the ghostly spiders in its path. That was so much mana in such a small room, that the attack bounced off of the walls and Sofia herself was affected like everyone else around, her vision uncontrollably locking onto the ghost of Sister Meilyss, the ‘brightest thing’in the room.
The light!
COME!
