Chapter 1471: Fighting The Nightmares 2
-----
After Helene unleashed her powerful formation, the defenses of the barrier made by Blake, the Dragons, and Elizabeth was strengthened even further, even gaining the power to counterattack, firing beams of sunlight at any Nightmare Demonic Beast that attacked it. Blake wasted no time, taking advantage of the momentum, as he rallied all his friends to battle.
Using his [Emotional Commanding Rally] Skill, his words became power, enhancing the stats of his friends as he inspired them to battle within the position they were. It was both a challenge for them and a way of training, fighting from the place where they were, above the dragons, without moving at all.
Perhaps to those like Alberta or Eric, specializing in long-range magic and techniques, this was as easy as breathing, but for those that were mostly about fighting at close range, with weapons or their fists, it was definitely more challenging.
But not impossible or anything, any Spirit Master could simply never specialize on just fighting at close range, their Spirits, Magic, and Skills would simply not even allow them anyway…
And the most wonderful thing about Weapon Techniques was that, as the user improved upon them and evolved their Auras, their techniques could rapidly cover dozens of meters, or something hundreds of meters, even axes, swords, and spears, as Blake had just showcased, could reach immense lengths with a single technique.
And even though a spear wasn't touching a foe physically, because of the technique being used, a concentration of kinetic force and energies, it was possible to strike physically at foes from afar, although not with as much precision and ease as arrows, cannons, or guns could do.
"We'll get there in just a couple of minutes! Fight with everything you've got!"
Blake roared, his Aura being shared with everyone else and enhancing their power even further, but they barely needed that anyway, their weapons, enhanced with the Light of the Morning Star, were capable of rapidly cleave, slash, and pierce through the Nightmare Demonic Beasts.
"We'll take care of the ones coming from the sky!"
"Yeah!"
Eric and Alberta quickly got to work, as Eric channeled his Spiritual Power and Mana into his powerful bow, which was also Spirit, the Yggdrasil's Tempest Bow, surging from his hand made out of spiritual and divine wood, and then channeling a tempestuous arrow that was conjured by the Bow Spirit and also his other Spirit, the Emerald Wind Sylphid.
The Sylphid, taking the form of a little fairy made of emerald winds, emerged by his side, boosting the power of all his Wind-Related Abilities, Bow Techniques and also his Magical Arrows.
"{Emerald Wind Spirit Magic} + {Tempest Spirit Bow Arts} + {Tempest Arrow Cannon}!"
He combined three skills at the same time, as Eric's eyes glowed with bright emerald light, his aura erupting with immense wind and nature essence…
And then, it all combined into a gigantic arrow which he fired upwards, made of both spirit wood and spirit winds, erupting into the skies and exploding as it struck down dozens of Nightmare Demonic Beasts at once.
BOOOM!
The explosion created tempestuous storm of winds and sharp spirit wood needles as hard as mithril, impaling countless more beasts and rapidly ending them one by one.
Meanwhile, Alberta summoned her Golem Spirits, the Giant Mithril Cannoneer Warrior Golem and the Giant Mithril Flying Golem, combining them together and riding the giant Spirit Golem, as she reinforced and enhanced the cannons with her Spirit Energy and Mana, while fueling the entire golem combination with her other Spirit, the Hephaestus' Divine Spirit Forging Flames.
She pointed the cannons upwards and started shooting destructive cannonballs and missiles, bombarding the skies of the black nightmare realm with countless explosions of red flames, causing the death of dozens of Nightmare Demonic Beasts at the same time as Eric.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Blake thought of their combination as superb, they had truly been refining their strength and abilities to a point even though he was slightly jealous of their own unique powers, but more than that, he was proud of how strong they had become.
"Patricia, like we practiced before."
"Alright."
Erdrich and Patricia attacked with their weapons, for Erdrich, the half-demon, that was his own fists, and for Patricia, it was her long sword, both attacking and unleashing destructive, long-ranged attacks and techniques hat provoked massive shockwaves made of demonic energy mixed with mana and spirit energy.
Patricia's Spirits enhanced her body to her limits, making her attacks stronger and at the same time, capable of exerting even more kinetic force, as she cut the empty air, her cutting attack reached the Nightmare Demonic Beasts, cutting them one by one.
Meanwhile, Erdrich's fists released literal beam-like shockwaves, blowing holes across dozens of Nightmare Demonic beasts at once, and blowing them up into pieces… their techniques were good, and they were able to work together really well.
"I wonder who will take down more enemies? My fire or your ice, Elfriedden~?"
"What are you, a child?! And my ice obviously expands faster!"
Chris challenged Elfriedden, as both started unleashing their powerful Fire and Ice Magic, constantly burning foes and then freezing them solid, and then shattering them into pieces. Despite the two being amazing at close range combat, they were already amazing magicians as well, having trained into a wide variety of elemental spells since they were children.
This caused their fire and ice combination to prove extremely destructive, taking down the entire left part of the barrier on their own, easily putting down the monstrous Nightmare Demonic Beasts, who could not even touch the damned barrier before they were either burned or frozen, or sometimes both at the same time.
"Looks like everyone's working hard! So let's not slack off either!"
"I'll assist you a little bit, but I still have to save my energy for the final fight."
Erika and Elizabeth joined, as both girls fought bravely from the area where they were standing on. Erika swung her huge sword, unleashing mighty techniques manifesting as gigantic dragon jaws rushing into the skies and biting through the Nightmare Demonic Beasts, tearing them to shreds one by one. At the same time, her magic circles manifested around her, rotating with emerald runes, they conjured giant wooden branches that grew upwards, shaped as spears, impaling dozens of foes at once as well.
