'This man has 0 Mana, yet I can see more and more gathering around him as his health drops even lower.' Geth thought. 'What a powerful ability.'
The attacks were coming so fast now that he couldn't block. He finally gave up and began to focus his attention on attacking instead. The two were so intent in their bout that they both completely neglected the presence of the Boss.
The Goblin Shaman had been circling his staff above his head for some time, dark clouds were forming at the top of the chamber. No one below noticed the change until the first bolt of lightning split the ground near Hulk's feet.
The man froze instantly, a large club swinging into his shield and throwing his numbed body over twenty yards away. Zolis quickly jumped forward, smashing her hammer against the Hobgoblin's knee.
The large creature dropped to the ground where she continually bashed its head until the skull shattered. She looked towards Harris and Farris who were facing off against the only survivor of Thorn's men.
That had been the last of the Hobgoblin's as well. She looked back at Hulk who was slowly climbing back to his feet, giving her a thumbs up. Then, she looked up.
Massive dark clouds flowed in circles around the top of the cavern, bolts of lightning crashed to the ground every three seconds. At first, it was just one bolt, but after 15 seconds it became two, and after 30 seconds it became three.
She shuddered to think what would happen if the storm kept growing. Hulk made his way slowly over to where she was standing.
"We need to take that creature out fast." Hulk pointed towards where the Boss was, and where Geth and Filthy could be seen fighting against more of the enemy party. "If this goes on, I suppose only your husband could end up surviving."
She glanced at him, her face solemn. Harris and Farris both thrust their swords through their opponent's chest at the same time and then ran over to them. Lightning blasted where they had just joined up, causing all of them to dive in opposite directions.
"Alright, it's time for us to end this," Zolis said as the four of them took off running towards the ongoing battles.
Lightning was raining down around them. Debris from the earth would splatter up, interrupting their battle as they each tried to push the other back.
Corruption Aura had finally drug Thorn down to about 8% of his health. His attacks were so fierce that Geth was taking more damage than Restoration could handle.
He was struggling to stay on his feet against the force of the man's attacks. When he thought he'd put some distance between them, the blade of the ax dug into his forearm.
The damage wasn't light, his bones were exposed and he was struggling to keep hold of his staff. It was at that moment, two bolts of lightning arched down hitting both of the warriors.
Geth took some damage and was actually stunned for a very brief second. His opponent, however, lay on the ground convulsing with one of his arms missing entirely.
The heat from the lightning scorched Thorn's skin as it ripped through him, cauterizing his wounds. Geth's face turned down at the smell of burnt flesh that filled the area.
He immediately looked around, worrying about Zolis and the rest of his party. The damage caused by that creature's lightning was immense.
In the distance, he could see that Zolis and the other guys were running his way. Geth turned back towards Filthy's fight in time to witness Alise slit the mage's throat from behind while he was distracted.
Blade was nowhere to be seen. Geth didn't have time to look for him, he simply looked in the direction of the Goblin Shaman. Thorn was no longer a concern.
Geth tried to cast State Change beneath the Shaman to interrupt its casting but something was interfering with the Mana. Albus explained the situation to him.
'That Shaman has been channeling Mana for a while now. It will be very difficult to reach. When the Mana is used to this extent, it starts to favor those using it. It will be very difficult for any outside source of Mana to be used near it.'
'Thanks for the warning.' Geth would have wasted a lot of Mana before figuring that out. 'The only way to disrupt the spell is by getting to it then.'
He rushed forward, closing the distance between himself and the Shaman quickly since his buff was still active. The Shaman noticed his presence and sneered.
Just when Geth managed to get within ten yards of the creature, four blasts of lightning shot from the sky and directly into his chest. He was sent flying and tumbling over twenty yards backward.
A hefty figure of over 250 dropped from his health as he looked down at his smoldering skin. Amazingly, his robe didn't seem to be damaged, even with the smoldering coming from his bare chest beneath.
There was a long burnt section of ground starting from where the lightning had struck him backward. Geth was amazed at the power behind it, he didn't know how they were expected to get in close.
Just as he was getting back to his feet, the rest of his party managed to gather near him. Everyone was spattered with blood aside from Filthy, though he was sweating profusely from his drawn-out fight with the mage.
"What's the plan?" Harris asked.
Before anyone had a chance to say anything, five large blasts of lightning came down from the clouds heading straight for their position. The group scattered, with Hulk and Geth both managing to take the brunt of the damage while the others escaped.
Geth sent out a message to the rest through Albus.
'Make sure not to group up, keep its attacks spread out, and make sure to dodge. Filthy, see if arrows can reach it, we need to disrupt its casting.' He told them.
Everyone looked towards him and nodded in acknowledgment. Filthy began firing arrows while Alise started throwing daggers towards the Shaman.
None of the attacks hit, electric arcs started spreading up from the ground and disrupting the paths of the projectiles.. The Shaman began cackling wildly, enjoying the struggle of the humans running around before it.
