Nick was far from the five female knights summoned using the Black Lover Warriors spell, but he could clearly sense the strong pressure emanating from them. While his attention was focused on them, he heard Rabial’s cautioned instruction coming from the ring.
“These warriors are strong. Do not hesitate and attack.”
Even before Rabial’s words had ended, five ‘Sonic Bullets’ manifested in the air and started spinning crazily exuding power. At this time, Nick changed the ‘Sonic Bullet’ algorithm and added a different power by enhancing knowledge.
‘Energy Bullet’
‘Addon’
‘Control the mana’ + ‘Form a bullet from the mana’
‘Imagine the bullet shoot from a weapon.’
‘Imagine the bullet creating a spin before shooting towards the target.’
‘Imagine ‘Sound Barrier’ to break.’
‘Knowledge – the energy bullet is filled with particles of ‘Fe’ aka ‘Iron Element’.’
‘Knowledge – the sound or sonic barrier is the sudden increase in aerodynamics or other undesirable effects that aircraft or other objects experience when they confront the speed of sound. When an aircraft first approaches the speed of sound.’
‘In dry air at 20 °C (68 °F), the speed of sound is 343 meters per second (about 767 mph, 1234 km/h or 1,125 ft/s).’
‘Knowledge – Armor-Piercing Bullets. Armor-piercing bullets typically contain hardened steel, tungsten, or tungsten carbide penetrator encased within a copper or cupronickel jacket.’
–
The knowledge of ‘Armor Piercing Bullets’ added to ‘Sonic Bullet’ was not entirely complete, but it would still boost ‘Sonic Bullet’. The Sonic Bullets in the air became grey-colored and sharply pointed at the tips. These were some of the required characteristics of Armor-Piercing Bullets.
Nick was ready for trial by fire of sorts and cast the spell.
“Sonic Bullets!”
At Nick’s command, five different Sonic Bullets created a minor sonic boom and shot towards the five Black Lover Knights.
“Fiiiuv”
The bullets hit the Black Lover Knights on their heads, and they fell to the ground. None of them were killed but as was the case with the minotaur, they were gravely injured. They had no blood as they were not living creatures, but their power weakened by over 40% and the injury was serious.
The female necromancer noticed that the fight power of all five of her sacrificial summoned knights was successfully reduced by a long-range spell, given the grave head injury. She began analyzing the situation in her mind.
“Whoever is casting these long-range spells is too strong for me and is definitely stronger than this rabbit mage. This person’s spell even has the ability to hurt armored Black Lover Knights, who are renowned for their defense ability.”
The female necromancer was furious but there was nothing she could do vent it. She chose the closest target at hand, and pointed her finger at Rabial, casting a spell.
“Dark Energy Bolt”
Soon, a dark-colored energy sphere manifested from her finger and shot towards Rabial. This Werfur battlemage was no wet-behind-the-ears ‘rabbit’ after all; he put up his guard instantly.
“Lightning Shield”
A two-meter-long lightning shield manifested in front of Rabial as soon as the defensive spell was cast, and it successfully blocked the female necromancer’s attack. At this time, the two Blue Sage Warriors that Rabial had summoned earlier went after the Black Lover Knights.
If the female necromancer’s summons were ordinary and not Sacrificial and Tribute summons, Rabial would have ordered them to attack the necromancer. Because if she died, the undead creatures that she had summoned would naturally die as well. But when it came to the Sacrificial Spell, the death of the summoner or the caster was irrelevant to the summoned creatures. They were called out by using human souls, to fight for a specific time duration. Even if the necromancer or the mage who had summoned them died, the Black Lover Knights would not vanish. The only way to vanquish them was to either kill them or fight them until the duration of the summon had timed out.
Rabial’s Blue Sage Warriors were fiercely wielding their lightning swords and engaging in a battle with the five gravely injured Black Lover Knights. Despite the injury, the Black Lover Knights were stronger than these warriors, and were larger in number well. So, they held their ground well in the fight.
Nick, meanwhile, did not stop his attacks either and targeted the head of the Black Lovers with ‘Sonic Bullet – Armor Piercing Bullets’ again.
The bullets shot the Black Lovers, and the sheer force behind the bullets this time pushed each of them to the ground. The female necromancer was enraged and spat when she saw this. She, and the other two necromancers who had come to help her, were facing more than anticipated problems in defeating the rabbit battlemage. If her Black Lovers were to die completely and the long-range mage’s attention turned towards them, they would not live to see another day.
The Black Lovers reeled on the ground. Two of them were already either killed or immobilized completely, and the remaining three lost more than 70% of their power as well. This was enough for the Blue Sage Warriors to end them completely. The Warriors showed no mercy and attacked with all their might, and finally destroyed the Black Lover Knights.
After confirming that the Black Lovers were dealt with, Nick created more Armor Piercing Sonic Bullets. This time he wanted to shoot two bullets at each of the necromancers — first at the head and second at the heart.
“Sonic Bullets”
Like clockwork, the bullets shot and two necromancers, excluding the female necromancer leader, dropped on the ground. One died because the bullet had entered his head and burst it open. The second necromancer did manage to protect herself against the bullet coming for her head, but her magical power was not strong enough to safeguard against the one to the heart. The bullet destroyed her heart and inner organs, and even then, it did not stop. It continued to hit the tree behind the necromancer that it had killed and crushed it.
Rabial was panting in the wake of the battle. He finally looked at female necromancer who was the last one remaining, with a smile that showed his rabbit tooth. “What are you gonna do now, you little witch?” Rabial quipped.
The female necromancer was still not afraid of Rabial. In her heart, however, she knew that now it was her turn to be targeted with a nightmare-inducing long range sniper.
