"Thank you, Drake! Now… W-Who should I ride?" wondered Tisha, looking at the black and white crow, they quickly grew in size and became enormous, big enough to even be ridden by Ice Giants…
"Muninn is a brute, so ride Huginn, she's more delicate and attentive to details," said Drake.
Drake knew his crows so well he immediately realized, based on their personalities, which of the two was the best one to give someone a ride, Huginn, the white crow, was the best at it, she was more delicate and attentive to details, and her light attribute was pretty strong and would help Tisha greatly.
Muninn, in the other case, was more of a brute and a battle junkie, enjoying fighting enemies by combining his magic with his physical fighting, tearing apart his enemies with his strong claws and his sharp beak was something he took a bit of joy into…
"Very well, Huginn, I am on your care." Said Tisha.
"Craa!" Huginn quickly let Tisha approach her.
Muninn seemed a bit disappointed he wasn't chosen, glaring at Drake with a saddened expression, as if asking "Am I really that much of a brute?".
Drake petted his head until the simple-minded crow felt better.
Tisha quickly sat over Huginn's back, and a door quickly opened, leaving the large group fly outside into the skies, quickly and finally confronting the Vampires led by Austr, who were shocked as they saw a large group of floating ice golems, snow beasts, led by ghosts and an ice elf woman riding a giant white crow which was accompanied by a giant black crow… and well, there were also two white-skinned and beautiful people at their side, resembling humans to an extent, although they were as tall as ice giants!
They easily crossed through the barrier they were having so much trouble destroying, as Austr looked in disbelief at the scene!
He noticed that they came from some sort of opened door somewhere else, but where? He couldn't even tell, they just appeared in here and were already reaching up to him!
"Austr, they seem strong, every single one of them, even the golems are exuding Rank 4 Mana Auras!" said Lily, the purple-haired elven vampire at the side of Austr, the last survivor as the other two were vaporized.
"I know… There's no time to think too much, we'll charge and kill them, after that, we'll follow the trail they left behind… it seems that this entire thing is some sort of floating building… a floating invisible fortress?" wondered Austr, as he quickly commanded the two hundred Blood Shadow Beasts left, although a few hundreds were vaporized by Pekora's attack, the rest were still very much alive, and ready to ravage anything they came across!
Tisha smiled defiantly, raising her blade, and infusing it with Mana, and then, swinging it towards the army of Blood Shadow Beasts boldly!
"Ice Blade Technique: Winter Embrace!"
Tisha activated one of her strongest Blade Techniques, which had actually evolved into the superior ability, Ice Blade Technique! She swung her blade horizontally, as a powerful slash made out of her Mana Aura of Ice-Attribute was unleashed, clashing against the Blood Shadow Beasts in the frontlines mercilessly!
SLAAAAASH!
BOOOOOMMM!!!
The slash attack quickly froze over a dozen of Blood Shadow Beasts into icy statues, only for them to quickly shatter into pieces and turn into a large cloud of ice dust!
"CHARGE!" roared Tisha, the Ice Golems and Snow Beasts flew across the skies, conjuring their magic together and forming something called Tandem Magic, which combined the mana of various units together to conjure powerful and explosive attacks that began to cover large quantities of space! In mere seconds, an enormous downpour of flying ice projectiles began to fall over the hundreds of Blood Shadow Beasts, freezing them and shattering them into pieces!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Austr couldn't let this slide easily, as he quickly rushed forward with Lily and the two conjured their magic, two enormous waves of blood were unleashed, shaping them as spiraling vortexes! Lily's blood was infused with poison, turning purple-colored, while Austr's blood turned icy, gaining several frozen blood spikes that could easily triturate enemies!
CRAAAAASSSSHHH!!!
The two spiraling vortexes clashed against the army of Ice Golems and Snow Beasts; their magic attacks were left completely useless as a large chunk of the army was shattered down!
BOOOOMMM!!!
Tisha gritted her teeth in anger, as Drake looked with contempt, quickly using his magic to bring back the souls of the golems and snow beasts, and gave them new bodies using their mana cores, which he also brought here through manipulating wind around his castle through a domain.
He didn't consider them as "disposable", but he knew that they could be easily revived, and they were willing to sacrifice themselves, although many of them "died" he was able to get a better grasp of the power of these two Vampires, they were certainly powerful.
"Bastaaaaaards!" roared Tisha, Huginn waved her wings as feather projectiles made of light flew towards the blood shadow figures and chased down the two Vampires flying away, while Tisha's blade slashed through the skies, unleashing powerful slashing attacks and trying to catch them!
However, the two Vampires had very fast mounts, and were easily evading while firing attacks against her!
"CRAA!"
However, Muninn reached their backs, attacking with his shadow feather projectiles and slashes made out of his large talons, forcing the Vampires to move away from the range of his attacks!
The Vampires were not weak, however, as they simply used their weapons, Austr swung his massive demonic blade, unleashing a gigantic storm of slashing darkness, clashing against Muninn, and throwing him off!
Meanwhile, Lily used her powerful demon spear, releasing a constant barrage of piercing blows infused with her poison and blood magic, which looked like thundering spears made of aura that reached Tisha! The Ice Elf had to simply defend and evade with Huginn, the attacks were rather devastating…
Of course, they were not the only ones that had come here, and the Vampires quickly realized that the other members were not going to just fight the little mobs…
