“I will fight to the death!” roared Eric, “and no force of yours will cause me to despair!”
“You are a fool,” growled Lucien, “for you know what awaits you. I will not kill you, and I will torture you in the abyss until you despair. Then, and only then, will you die.”
“So be it!”
Lucien paused for a moment, and as he did his entire army paused as well, as if their actions were directly controlled by his will. Then he cast back his cloak, and his flaming skull was revealed. His height grew as well, and he rose to be eighteen feet tall.
Raising the Staff of Armadyl, Lucien gave out a roar, and a twirling ball of purple energy rushed through the air at Eric.
Eric was not entirely untrained in magic as Lucien thought, for as the ball of energy was about to touch him, Eric muttered an incantation, and a white glowing shield formed itself around him.
The purple ball did not have its desired effect, but it was still lethal. As it hit Eric’s shield, the shield burst, and the weakened ball of energy hit Eric. He cried out in pain and fell to the ground, but the energy had been weakened enough to not destroy his will and teleport him, as Lucien intended.
“Hahahaha, you have survived my first stroke, but what about my second?”
Lucien raised his staff once more, and cast the spell again.
At that moment, there was a huge thunderclap, and a flash of light, and all the evil creatures inside the city began to cry out.
Merlin jumped up to the wall beside Eric, and held his staff out to the purple ball of energy which Lucien had cast. The ball was sucked into the staff, and Merlin cast it back at Lucien.
He then whispered an incantation over Eric, and he was relieved from the great pain received by the spell. He jumped up, and cast a fire spell at Lucien. Lucien, after absorbing the spell which Merlin had reflected back to him, began to do battle with Merlin.
