The Radiant forest reverberated with the sound of several tons of ghostly wood crashing into their living counterparts. The impact of the HSS Rum Gunner managed to dislodge a boulder in the Dire woods, which in turn uprooted a huge, ancient direwood tree, that also rolled down the slope of Roshan's lair, and started an avalanche into the abode of the ancient cursed thief, and showering the resident with several tons of rock, dirt, tree and snow. If Roshan was there, he would've just ineffectively roared, but be ultimately unable to seek revenge. Unfortunately, Roshan was not there.
The giant pale greevil rose from amidst the debris which had awoken it from its hibernation and gave a long and high-pitched shriek. Beneath its leathery skin, muscle rippled and joints cracked as it leapt from its enclosure and ran towards the Radiant base. The stone man was the cause of this, he was sure of it!
"Crixalis, did you happen to channel epicenter yet?!" shouted Kunkka as he casted another torrent of water to slow down the ramapaging greevils. They had torn apart Malfurion's treant army in a matter of seconds and forced the Nature's Prophet himself to retreat. "The area slow would be ver nice right about now!"
"No! I haven't the opportunity to do so yet!" returned Sand King.
"Well do it now! They're gaining on us!"
"They can stun us! If I stop to channel it now, they would stamp me back into sand and dust faster than Leviathan if he chanced to meet you!"
"But what can else can we do! I'm nearly out of mana, and they seem to have some sort of aura of sluggishness casted on us!"
"We need to get to the rest of the heroes! Our combined might would be able to handle these greevils!"
"Can't you blink ahead and call them?"
"Flame Licker's aura, it keeps disabling my dagger!"
"Flame Licker? What is th-"
At that point, a deafening keening shriek stopped them stock still. It seemed to shake the very earth, and even collapsed a few trees. The greevils had stopped too, while the Greevilych stared at the direction of the Dire territory.
"By Posideon's piss soaked pantaloons, don't tell me they can replicate the Queen of Pain!"
"Keep running! We might be able to make it out of the radius of their aura!"
"Right, you can cast Epicenter now! We can slow them down and might be able to-"
"Farewell, Admiral!" Crixalis shouted and blinked ahead. "I'll alert the heroes to help you!"
"Wait what? SAND KING! You bone-dry bag of camel dung! I swear I will-"
"HHGRGRRRUUUUUUUGRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" sounded a voiced behind him. It sounded...enormous.
"That...is not Tidehunter." Kunkka muttered and looked behind him. What he saw, chilled his bones and made him drop the sack he was dragging along with him. "What...what is that...MOTHER OF ANCIENTS WHAT HAVE YOU CHOSEN TO CHASE ME NOW?! This...this is not my day." He groaned and started running again.
Chaos Knight has faced many opponents beyond count, during his long forays into the infinite realms. But this might be one of the more interesting, if not one of the larger-scale battles he had taken part of. His ally was a resurrecting wraith who wielded a monstrous sword, while his opponents was a brilliant robotic engineer, and a lightning god from another realm. This, would truly be a test of the age-old adage of Mind over Matter.
"Do you presume to threaten me? I am the god of lightning and thunder! Worshipped by millions! Now without the pesky restrictions of the ancients...and my wife, I will crush you once and for all!" so saying, the Thunder God summoned crackling monstrous eels of electricity, which darted through the air, and smashed against the Chaos Knight and his companion. They exploded upon the Dire duo one after another in huge explosions of lightning. "Puny mortals!" Zeus chortled.
"That tickled." smirked Ostarion.
"How did you survive!" fumed a flabbergasted Zeus. "Those eels brought titans to the heel!"
"We bought Hoods of Defiance." deadpanned Nessaj.
"Enough talking! Boush, you take the Chaos Knight! I will destroy Ostarion." shouted Zeus. He conjured up twin swords of lightning, which he himself wield and leapt at the Wraith King.
Nessaj found himself facing the infamous Tinker. Knowing enough not to underestimate one of the Violet Plateu survivors, he urged Armageddeon forward to try and trample the Keen while also sending bolts of chaotic energy flying at the small engineer.
"Not quick enough!" shouted Boush in his nasally voice as he leapt back and launched heat-seeking missiles from his robotic contraption. They impacted on the chaos bolts and managed to cancel each other out. "Why dress in all red, Chaos Knight, laser suits you!"
Armageddeon grunted as an intense blue beam cut a smouldering hole in its armour to ravage the flesh within. Furious, the Chaos knight tore a hole in reality and pulled the Tinker back to him. He swung his heavy mace, and caught one of the metallic arms at the joint, and ripped apart the metal. He glanced at it and saw that it was the one that shoots the lasers. "I guess it is now lights out for Boush!"
"That took me days to repair!" Boush shouted, and swung the other arm at Armageddeon, and maanged to get it stuck as the fiery steed bit upon the missile holder and held it in place. "That works too!" so saying, the Tinker shot more missiles into the maw of the horse and at the same time, self destruction that arm.
Ostarion had to admit, the Thunder God was pretty good at swordsmanship. His twin ssbres leapt and danced in response to the Wraith King's huge sword, and managed to parry every single hit. Meanwhile, the Wraith King himself was hit and slashed at several times, and had the scorch marks to prove it.
"You expected me to be a poor swordsman didn't you! You can tell the rest of the Dire when I'm done with you. After all, the dead never lie!" Zeus thrusted and pierced through the chestplate of Ostarion's armor, and detonated his sword. The explosion launched the Wraith King a few meters away, his armor smouldering and his sword sent spinning, as well as burning his mana. The Thunder God walked up to him."What's the matter, god's got your tongue?" He then slashed at Wraith King's neck, only for an armour plated hand to rise and lock the sword in an iron-vice grip, Zeus's eyes widened.
"Heh...I never knew that my Vampiric Aura could work on mana sources too." A horrified Zeus detonated the sword, but the energy from the explosion itself seemed to sustain the Wraith King.
"Ahh, that hits the spot!" The Wraith rose and leisurely walked to his sword. "I admit it, you're pretty good at swordfighting. At least, in a fair fight." Ostarion wrenched his sword from the ground. "But wraiths, no Wraiths never play fair!" Ostarion launched himself at the Thunder God, and smacked him in the chest with his free hand while slashing at Zeus's right arm.. That hand detonated an explosion of wraith energy and lightning which sent Zeus flying away to land on a grassy knoll. He rose slowly, and looked at his arm. It was ripped apart, and only attached to his body by a bloody rope of flesh. A critical hit, to deal a devastating injury. However, when Ostarion saw the Thunder God look up, his eyes were flashing blue in fury.
"INJURING ME WAS THE LAST MISTAKE, YOU EVER MADE!" The Thunder God rose in a vortex of electricity and coated his nearly severed arm in a monstrous limb of lightning. The sky turned dark and started to rain huge red drops, as if it itself was wounded when Zeus was wounded. Huge bolts of lightning rained down and exploded the ground everywhere, sending tendrils of crackling energy into the air. "PREPARE TO MEET YOUR MAKER, AND MY FRIEND, OSTARION. SAY HELLO TO HADES FOR ME!"
Well...this chapter was a day late, sorry for that xD, Anyways, you might notice that I made up some skills and upped the power of the heroes a bit. It's just to make things more interesting to read, and I promise to have an explanation for this at the end of this story. But seriously, describing hero battles with just their normal skills are the quite boring and monotone to read. Reviews and criticisms are welcome! Ciao people!
