Surprisingly, the crystal shield that Baldwin had conjured in a haste was quite able to deflect Harbonok's sonic shock through its multiple facets. Only a small amount of shockwave passed through the crystal, and its power was greatly reduced. So, it did not cause harm to any of them.
Seeing that the white wyvern's shield blocked the attack of the dragonborn, Baldwin immediately turned the wyvern around and fled. But a streak of the shadow song hit the wyvern's back, resulting in a bright sparkle of light.
The white wyvern phantom disappeared, and the five mages were scattered about by the huge impact of the attack. When they looked around, their numbers had turned into four.
Londyn, who located at the back of the white wyvern as a defense, was shattered into pieces, leaving no bones. With the disappearance of the back of the white wyvern, the phantom magic immediately shattered and dispersed.
"No!" Kaiya yelled. The four crystals in front of him suddenly turned into a large spear and flew towards Harbonok with a dazzling brilliance.
Harbonok snorted: Self-exploding essence crystal? Then a streak of shadow wave shot out of his mouth, detonating the glazing spear in the air.
With the explosion of the spear, Kaiya screamed and fell from the air. Kiara and Shannon were very close to him at this time, so they dashed towards his direction, catching him before he could hit the ground.
Baldwin, who was shocked by Kaiya's actions, was even more bewildered when he saw a flash of light shot out of Harbonok's eyes, straight into his mind. He found his body frozen as he fell on his back.
"Baldwin!" Shannon exclaimed and ran towards the frozen mage.
And just at this moment, a figure appeared in front of the surviving mages like lightning, blocking Harbonok's attack.
"Kaiya, hold on." Kiara held Kaiya's body, and said apprehensively. Then, four essence crystals which were above her head began to shine brightly.
Stolen from Royal Road, this story should be reported if encountered on Amazon.
The Blessing of Water was a forbidden spell for a silver-level mage to cast, knowing that the spell caster would be affected by the forbidden spell, making the caster's essence to be permanently exhausted. From then on, there would be no way for the caster to advance in power level.
But Kiara had no choice. As for the repercussions on her power base, it was of little importance to her. Kaiya's life was even more precious to her. Even if she was to exchange her own life for his, Kiara would do it without hesitation.
As she continued to utter the incantation, a soft ray of light slowly shot out from her essence crystal and continued to expand until it enveloped Kaiya's body. The four crystals were continuously but slowly rotating above Kaiya's body, providing the source of power for the spell.
At this moment, Shannon, who was holding Baldwin's stiff body, did not know what to do for a while. Baldwin's body had no visible injury, but he was as stiff as a dead person, albeit a faint beating in his heart. It showed that he was clearly breathing in air, but he wasn't moving.
What could possibly happened to him? Although she could provide healing magic, for a while, she didn't even know what to do due to her state of shock.
When she was beginning to be extremely anxious, a soft white light shot from a distance and shone on Baldwin. A tender force shook Shannon's arm that was holding Baldwin, forcing her to retract her hands.
Soon afterwards, she saw Baldwin's body slowly rising under the radiating power of this white light. When the figure in the distance approached them, she could clearly see that this white light was emitting from his hand.
Germeyes returned to Harbonok's side and said in a low voice. "Secondborn, the human reinforcements have arrived, and some of them have high power level. I think we should leave now, and then destroy this human tribe later in the future. This divine tree is now in our hands. When we go back, I will send our clan members here to guard it."
Harbonok originally wanted to fight with these high-level conveyors, so as to explore the opportunity to improve his power base, but when he saw a platinum-level light mage appeared among the humans, he dismissed the idea.
For the black dragons, who were solely based on dark attributes, their biggest bane were the human mages of the light attribute. Even if a light mage of the same power level as himself emitted an ordinary light healing magic, it would cause huge damage to the dragonkind.
The Seconborn of the dragonkind gritted his teeth, cursing the forsaken light mage in his heart. He slowly backed off together with the leader of the bearkind. When he was at a fair distance away, he turned into a massive dragon and flew towards the depths of the forest.
