Ascension of the Nephilim

Chapter 602  Attacking a Krampus

Perment and the rest was able to quickly retreat close the tunnel where the curb was. Their advantage was that the path was narrowing and the enemy army had a narrow path to attack.

The fire ore bombs proved helpful in the fight, and Perment hadn't even used his own magic.

The blast would give the team a time to regroup and for everyone to touch the dead monsters.

Everone had a glove that allowed them to absorb experience and mana. But the two gloves were not the same. While one absorbed energy for experience, the other did not drain experience but mana! The energy conversion circle was a Mana-Siphon spell they made in preparation to launch another alchemy tool that Emeros created through the memories of Rorcast. The memories of Rorcast merged with the memories of Kyros and the two allowed Emeros to have a vast wealth of information.

With the knowledge of Rorcast absorbed, Emeros began to understand the mystery behind the spells that Kyros or Noxus used in their battles and why these specific magics were created.

The magic drain had many limitations and as Kyros and Noxus were Dark Dependents, drinking and absorbing blood were faster ways to attain their goals.

And the rest had high mana regeneration that they didn't need tto drain magic. Not to mention the fact that most of the enemies who were descended to Fallen Spawns or Gods had resistance to these spells.

Yet, to the mortals like Emeros and his band of humans, this spell would revolutionize warfare.

Perment saw the rest move and absorb and could not help but praise Emeros.

In normal situations, it would be impossible to absorb the energy of all these creatures. And while Emeros claimed that the life energy was far weaker compared to using formation plates, it was still extremely helpful.

Perment also followed and he was able to absorb a lot more energy compared to the rest.

During the entire progress of the battle, Perment was able to absorb many of the monsters they killed through another energy conversion circle through two gloves on his hand. But unlike the rest, Don and Perment had a special glove that absorbed mana and stored it in a slotted magic core.

With a firm foundation, and the dark magic of Rorcast, Emeros was able to create an enhanced version of the Fire Ore Bomb. The more mana it had, the larger the explosion.

As the monsters crowded, Perment decided that the time to use it was now.

At first, Emeros used regular Fire Ore bombs which drew more enemies to them.

And when there were many, Rorcast used the bomb that Emeros created.

"Get ready!" Perment warned.

He threw it as far and as high as he could and it fell in the midst of the imps and gremlins. The smarter ones ran away to escape the blast radius but...

BOOOOM!

It was similar to a magic attack of a fully charged, peak Mage Captain exploded out.

The mana that the ore had was at max, with a capacity of 100 mana!

And that force made a powerful boom that even caused Perment and his allies to stumble down.

The explosion shook the ground and incinerated those at the center clearing the entire area from imps and goblins.

The massive blast had stunned the imp armies and even a Kallikantzaros was trembling as the explosion caused him to fly forward.

Perment was the first to be surprised at the power of the attack.

"Woah." Don was amazed.

"That was a powerful attack!" Serena spoke as she moved closer to kill the Puks that were thrown near them.

The Kallikantzaros's burn wounds on his back charred his body. If not for his high vitality, he would have also been consumed by the fire. He saw Wesret approach.

"You're the second Kallikantzaros that we killed. Who would have thought that now, there would be five of you dead!"

STAB!

Brent and Tyra were both standing in shock at what they saw.

"Hey you two! We didn't bring you here to gawk! Start killing!" Philip shouted.

The two realized what they were doing and began to move.

"Grembrokoro!" Brent shouted as he moved to kill.

The two were starting to marvel at the means of Emeros.

Many of the imps and gremlins were still confused from the blast. The attack occurred right at the center and caused many to be blown back.

Don prioritized the Kallikantzaros and the Chorts as they had massive sources of mana. He still had another bomb and knew that this would be helpful.

The imps were unsure of whether to atttack. Most of the higher tier monsters were at the front and had died in the blast.

Serena took advantage of the confusion and ran as he picked up a body of a Chort to absorb and smashed it on a surviving Puk.

Wesret and Philip also ran.

Philip now used two blades and fought up close. His superior speed allowed him to kill just as fast as Serena.

"Grembrokoro!" The group shouted as they fought on.

The explosion attracted many of the stronger breeds.

Puks, Chorts, and Kallikantzaros were all rushing forward.

Back near the center of the camp, the person that was left to guard the entire camp was starting to get worried.

He was one of the five Krampus that the Demon Imp brought with him to this new land.

He saw the explosion and was starting to get worried as he looked on ahead and tried to see the progress of the battle.

Nearby, Emeros was hiding on yet another tent and saw the barrels of supplies and the many strange containers that the imps had.

There were also cages where fat pigs were placed.

Emeros prepared a numerous alchemy vials and placed them in unstable conditions. He used the firestarters, cinders, and other flammable objects within the camp of the imps.

Each spot had vials that would exploded on different times. Emeros had calculated the timing of the blast and quickly worked.

Small bombs exploded at the distance and Emeros knew that his team had ran out of Fire Ore bombs. They still had one more Fire Charged Ore Bomb that would leave a great wreckage and he knew that they would use it soon. But Emeros had little time remaining. the entire camp was starting to get worried.

He was one of the five Krampus that the Demon Imp brought with He needed to kill the Krampus, take whatever he could inside the Imp Lords tent and run back as this team won't be able to hold off after using the second bomb.

Emeros managed to make all the preparations and rushed back to where the Krampus guarded.

The Krampus was far weaker than Mage Rorcast. But this creature was still strong and Emeros guessed that the Dexterity of this creature would be so fast that even with [Pronto], Emeros would not be able to fight it toe to toe.

So instead, Emeros planned a distraction that would surprise the Krampus and lower his guard.

Emeros poured out a vial of poison on the tip of the spear that he had acquired. The spear was strong and was made using the bones and fangs of different beasts. And Emeros waited. He knew the time for the vials to explode would happen soon.

The Krampus's eyes was locked ahead and he was enraged that no one had returned to report the full number of the orcs that attacked the camp. The response of the assigned lieutenants were slow.

"Where are they?!" The Krampus shouted in Imp language.

Emeros heard it and could discern what he wanted. The genius of having only a few team that appeared weak delayed the response of the leaders. They thought that killing the team was easy and ended up losing a lot of forces. As such, the Kallikantzaros attacked and sent his Chort but were all killed in the blast.

Now, the new leaders arrived and were still uninformed of what exactly was happening.

Emeros was ready to pounce. It was time for him to move!

BANG! BANG!

Small explosions was heard and numerous fires suddenly appeared to the east side of the camp.

The Krampus was surprised and turned to the east as he saw the flames.

"What?!"

At that moment, Emeros ran as small explosions and fires continued to erupt out on the east side.

STAB!

Emeros was stunned. The spear attack was directed at the neck of the Krampus. Any normal creature would suffer instant death or paralysis as it's nerves would be cut off. But the Krampus only received damage that not even halved his life.

Emeros had [Pronto] activated and as his spear stabbed out, he made a quick kick to pull himself back as the beasts was still alive!

As Emeros kicked, he quickly took another small vial and threw it at the Krampus.

SPLASH!

The liquid struck the Krampus who had now turned around in range and summoned fire to attack his foe. But as he summoned his fire magic, the fires spread and began to cover his body. Green flame appeared and it blinded the Krampus.

It made an angry roar and wanted to shout out to call his allies, but...

STAB!

Another stab penetrated the neck. The Krampus couldn't see well and the poison had already inflicted some paralysis on him.

The Krampus didn't die but his health dwindled down to 109!

With such damage, the Krampus felt weak and Emeros did the final blow.

STAB!
