Walker felt that he and the light elemental spirit could use all the mana they could muster and never pull even a little of the light elemental mana from the pure light griffon. The mana was more than just under its' control. It was as if the mana was bowing to it.
Barry was looking at the griffin knowing that it looked beautiful and calm but could unleash a devastating rage in the blink of an eye "Just stay close and be ready to fall behind the wall and the shield. Hold it up too. When the attacks happen we may be hit in the crossfire." Barry never showed his worry or stress, but at this moment his voice waivered enough to show the party just how serious this matter was.
"Pathetic creature. You are not lion nor bird. You can never be perfect. I won't even waste time attempting to mold you in to the proper perfection that I am." Pride had lost his mind completely. He could not be called a demon anymore but instead a monster.
The pure light griffin seemed to be infuriated hearing the insult. As much as pride was the embodiment of pride and even held the title, the pure light griffin was one of the strongest creatures that embodied light. They were proud and strong within their own right. To be insulted in this way by any being was enough to destroy a country.
"Pathetic thing. You are full of darkness and can not even touch the light. I will erase you from this world so you may try again in another life." The words didn't sound angry, however, they held an undeniable weight. These words crushed everyone that heard them and visibly make Pride shutter.
Pride didn't hesitate long, he drew the darkness elemental mana from his body and made the metal swords vibrate and hiss with the mana. The power of the attacks from the sword was sure to do major damage to anyone. Walker knew that if he was to face them he would not be able to block and would need to dodge just to survive for another second.
The griffin just turned its head to the side and flicked a single talon. The darkness elemental mana on the swords completely disappeared and the swords fell in to dust. "Weak. You are too weak. You know nothing of perfection. You haven't even melded with an element properly." The griffin flicked again and a small beam of light appeared for a moment.
When one of the arms on Prides' body disintegrated he was frozen. He was no longer balanced and perfect. The gut wrenching screech that came from Prides' maw was enough to deafen anyone that was not prepared for an attack.
In a brutal effort to return to balance, Pride tore off the opposite arm to match the other side. Once that was done he began to force the mana in his body to form swords again. These were made from pure darkness elemental mana. They looked to be much stronger than before and were only matched in color to Prides' eyes which were bleeding darkness elemental mana.
"Really? That thing has a berserker skill? It's worse than mine it's destroying his mana just to make him stronger." Barry had done a massive amount of research on berserker skills and had seen this one. "It's the dark madness skill. Most demonic bears have it as a berserk skill that activates when it is down to the last of its health points. I needed to defeat one of them to purify myself and get the true berserker skill." This tidbit of information was interesting but none of them could spare it a thought.
Pride rushed at the griffon swinging the swords of darkness down while screeching unknown phrases in his madness. "You annoy me!" The pure light griffin had finally had enough. It opened its mouth and light elemental mana was there to form an orb in the blink of an eye. None of them had ever seen such a fast gathering of mana in their lives.
When they opened their eyes again the world was white. There was nothing but light. Pure light and some attached heat as the light ground against the other elemental manas of the world. The entire group was blinded by the light but they could feel it pushing them back. The border walls cracked and fell to pieces causing all of them to push against Su and the twin shields. Barry was behind all of them pulling them all close behind the shield and using his great strength to hold Su and the shield in place.
The light stopped and everyone only saw darkness. "Don't worry. The effect will fade soon. Just don't move and stay where you are. If you have healing spells use them, Walker." Barry gave orders and was able to sound calm even in the situation.
Walker proceeded to remain in position and use his healing skills over and over on himself and everyone he touched.
'The skill area heal has been taken from the supporter system. The skill area heal has been automatically learned through multiple healing actions over a wide area.
Area heal- 10 mana cost
The user will expand a ring around himself of ten feet in diameter. Those within the ring will slowly gain healing as long as they are within the ring. The skill will only last for five minutes and is best used on minor wounds. Large wounds will take a great deal of time to heal. The user can expand this ring by spending double the mana for every additional foot.'
Walker felt his eyesight begin to return. He no longer felt darkness and he saw the system notification instantly. He did not hesitate to cast the area heal skill. The group needed to see what was going on.
