Chapter 21

Spinning on his heel to face the ogres, Raphael raised his hands and called to mind his portion of Annihilation Ray’s mental sculpting sequences. Arcane syllables fell from his lips. His fingers and wrists danced to the tune of somatic sculpting. Fenix began chanting a heartbeat later. Their voices rose in unison, until Raphael completed his role in the spell and thrust his palms forward.

Fiery magical energy flared into existence in front of his extended index finger. Fenix uttered a final arcane syllable.

A crimson beam of condensed flames blazed skyward, streaking straight toward the approaching ogres. Harpies dove and swirled into the path of the Annihilation Ray, seeking to shield their masters with their bodies. The spell cut through them, turning every monster it touched into a writhing, shrieking avian torch, and burned a furrow over the outermost edge of the floating platform as it sought to vent its fury on its targets.

Stepping in front of its robed counterpart, the armored ogre raised its shield. Blue light spiraled from the shield’s bone lining and coalesced into a wall of swirling magical runes. The Annihilation Ray spell struck the armored ogre’s barrier. A sibilant hiss filled the air.

The fiery beam blazed as Fenix fed it with magical energy, seeking to force it through the ogre’s defenses, but the spiraling runes of blue light held firm.

Fenix forced a grin across the strain on his face. He raised his other index finger and pointed it at the ogre’s barrier.

“Again,” the battlemage hissed to Raphael.

Raphael nodded and sped through his portion of Annihilation Ray once more. Fenix joined in when he was supposed to, even though he was still maintaining the first Annihilation Ray he’d cast.

Raphael marveled at the battlemage’s magical mastery. He knew how difficult it was to cast Annihilation Ray and keep it going instead of simply letting the spell run its natural course. Casting the same spell again while doing all this was a feat of truly mythic proportions.

The finalizing arcane syllable tumbled from Fenix’s lips, and another fiery beam sliced through the skies. It struck the ogre’s magical wall right beside its predecessor. Cracks immediately began to spread across the swirling runes of blue light that defied the twin Annihilation Rays.

“Die!” Fenix shrieked. His gloves peeled away from his hands as he fed yet more magical energy into his spells. The dual Annihilation Rays blazed with greater intensity, the heat of their originating points forcing Raphael and the rest of the war party to step away from the battlemage.

The ogre’s wall shattered into shards of cascading blue light.

The Annihilation Rays sliced forth, leaving no time for the armored ogre to summon another barrier. Instead, the ogre caught the fiery beams on its shield and angled its body sideward. Blue light swirled from the shield’s bone rim to twine around the Annihilation Rays, redirecting their fury at an angle that had them skimming the top of the armored ogre’s helm and turning its spiked tip into molten ruin.
