Tezka split the torrent of frozen weapons in two and aimed them at the Storm Griffon and the Bastet. The Cursed ice element had sealed the artifacts’ magical powers, but Adamant was still Adamant, and Zero coated the entire length of the weapons.
Akhton and Jorl were forced to slow down, focusing on defence to destroy and deflect what they couldn’t avoid. The razor-sharp layer of cursed ice made the frozen artifacts dangerous from tip to pommel, but that was only part of the problem.
’I trust the Black Throne’s skill in crafting my Starpath armor.’ Jorl thought as he fought with the fury of a living storm. ’What I’m afraid of is what that kind of cold will do to me if even one of those weapons gets stuck in my body.’
His Dusk Wraith maces destroyed dozens of frozen artifacts with each swing, producing the silvery sound of a spoon tapping a crystal flute. Alas, they also made their master’s worst fears come true.
The frozen weapons shattered on impact into hundreds of Adamant fragments, and the Zero element they were imbued with allowed them to pierce through the gravity sheath of the Starpath armor.
The smaller the Adamant shard, the sharper it was and the deeper it dug through Jorl’s black hide. The invading Zero element reacted like a hungry beast, robbing the Storm Griffon of his body heat and turning him into a shivering mess.
Jorl’s movements and maces became too slow to keep up with the onslaught as the frozen avalanche kept pouring out of the Zero Gate.
On Tezka’s left side, Akhton made the mistake of hurling a river of Origin Flames. The first wave of weapons thawed as he intended, but they were already too close to him for Salanoth to regain control, and their power cores struck him with their full might.
The now-working artifacts didn’t shatter against his spear, but they unleashed the fiery explosions, nets of lightning bolts, darkness mist, ice blades, and mud bindings that the Ring of Space had intended for Tezk upon the Upyr-Bastet.
On the one hand, the single burst of Origin Flame had cleansed the Zero element only from a handful of weapons, and with Akhton’s size and mass, he only suffered a few shallow wounds.
On the other hand, the flashes of light and the mana released by the weapons’ enchantments blinded Akhtom’s Life Vision and overloaded his Full Guard. The Bastet failed to defend himself from the following waves of frozen weapons, ending up like Jorl.
At the same time, Tezka clapped his hands to conjure a Corruption Gate and its exit point side by side, right past the boundaries of Chaos Dimension. Uragar’s spells fell into the entry point and came out of the Corruption Gate with a different energy signature.
Not only were they now capable of hurting their caster, but their original earth element had been replaced by Corruption after the dimensional gate had robbed it of the air element that kept the earth element stable.
