Warlock of War: My Ares System

Chapter 535 Airborne Battle

For a moment, it felt as though I had gained the upper hand as if the very forces of nature had bowed to my mastery of the storm. But I knew that the demon lord was a formidable adversary, and this battle was far from over.

The demon lord's eyes narrowed, a glint of anger flashing within them as he sensed my defiance. He began to chant incantations in a guttural, ancient language, and the very trees around him responded to his dark command. Massive roots tore themselves free from the earth, and the towering trees uprooted themselves, their gnarled forms shifting and rearranging to form a living, impenetrable barrier.

I could feel the oppressive weight of the forest closing in around me, the demon lord's mastery of nature magic reaching a terrifying zenith. The trees seemed to move with a malevolent intent, their branches and roots converging, ready to crush me within their woody embrace.

But I was not about to yield. With unwavering determination, I unleashed [Advanced Tornado Magic], a spell that harnessed the full might of the storm. Dark winds roared to life, spiraling into a colossal tornado that erupted around me. The sheer force of the tempest was overwhelming, and it tore through the forest's defenses with an unrelenting fury.

The whirling winds of the tornado swallowed the demon lord's arboreal soldiers, shredding them into splinters as they were swept up in its destructive vortex. Leaves and branches were sent flying in all directions, and the very ground trembled beneath the cataclysmic forces at play.

For a moment, it seemed as though the tide had turned in my favor, as the tornado's power raged on, obliterating the demon lord's forest barricade. But the demon lord, his eyes burning with a fierce resolve, wasn't finished yet. With a gesture of his outstretched hand, he unleashed a surge of power that defied nature itself.

The earth quaked beneath his command, and with an eerie ease, he flung massive trees out of the ground, hurling them toward me with the force of a battering ram. I was forced to step back, my wind-blade defenses struggling to deflect the onslaught of airborne giants.

"The fuck...?" I winced as I attempted to recover from the relentless pounding of nature itself.

Soon, I initiated [Silent Flight]. Its predecessor, [Flight], was a skill that I had honed through countless hours of practice, one that allowed me to defy gravity and hover just above the ground. As I ascended, the tumultuous chaos of the forest swirled beneath me, and the demon lord found it increasingly challenging to locate my elusive presence amidst the swirling winds and debris.

Silently, I descended upon him, my obsidian blade gleaming ominously in the subdued light that filtered through the dense canopy of the forest. The wind whispered in my ears, guiding me toward my target. The demon lord, momentarily disoriented by my aerial maneuver, struggled to react in time.

But the demon lord was not one to be outdone. As I descended, he, too, tapped into his formidable command over nature magic. His eyes blazed with a sinister determination as he summoned the roots of the surrounding trees, twisting and entwining them with his dark incantations.

In a display of arcane power, the demon lord molded the roots into massive, gnarled wings that sprouted from his back. The wings unfurled with a terrible grace, their shadowy tendrils stretching toward the heavens. The forest's very life force flowed through them, granting him the power of flight that rivaled my own.

As we clashed in mid-air, the battlefield shifted to the skies above the darkened forest. I wielded my wind-blade with precision, striking with a flurry of calculated blows. The demon lord, now airborne with his grotesque wings, met my attacks head-on, countering with deadly precision.

Our clash in the air was a dance of death, a ballet of opposing forces. My silent flight and obsidian blade against the demon lord's arboreal wings and nature-infused magic created a breathtaking spectacle of power and skill. Leaves and splinters scattered in all directions as our weapons clashed, each blow resonating with the fury of our respective elements.

In the midst of our airborne duel, the demon lord's mastery of nature magic reached a frightening apex. With a sinister grin, he chanted incantations that sent shockwaves through the very earth below. The forest itself responded to his dark command, the gnarled trees uprooting themselves and rising into the sky.

Suddenly, I found myself in a surreal battlefield. The treetops became colossal platforms suspended in the air, swaying ominously as the demon lord weaved his arcane spells. Vines and roots stretched between the arboreal islands like sinuous bridges, and the very foliage of the forest had become his arsenal.

As I deftly maneuvered through the airborne maze of branches and leaves, I knew that I needed to adapt my tactics to the ever-changing landscape. I summoned the power of [Grand Wind Magic] once more, harnessing the tempest that surrounded me. With my wind daggers in hand, I directed the winds to coalesce into enormous blades of air, each one as deadly as the obsidian blades themselves.

The gusts howled, and the colossal wind blades sliced through the thick vegetation with a sound like thunder. I sent them spiraling toward the demon lord, who was now using the very branches of the trees as shields and weapons. The clash between his arboreal defenses and my wind-infused onslaught was a sight to behold, the air itself crackling with elemental fury.

As the demon lord manipulated the forest to his advantage, his attacks became unpredictable and relentless. Branches lashed out like serpents, while tree trunks swung like battering rams. The airborne platforms shifted and swayed, making it challenging to maintain my balance.

I weaved between each attack, my dark silhouette a blur against the forest's green backdrop. My wind blades clashed with the demon lord's arboreal onslaught, sending leaves and splinters scattering in all directions. The air was thick with tension and power, as we both fought to gain the upper hand in this surreal mid-air battle.

Despite the demon lord's best efforts to harness the might of the forest, he found himself gradually overwhelmed by the relentless fury of the wind blades I summoned. With each passing moment, his defenses weakened, and the sheer power of my [Grand Wind Magic] and wind-infused daggers carved through his arboreal protections.

But then, as the momentum of the battle shifted irrevocably in my favor, an abrupt wave of exhaustion surged through my body. My knees gave way, and I dropped to the ground, losing all sensation within my limbs. It was as if the very life force had been sapped from my body.

Hm? What? Is his throne world still out? 

My vision blurred, and I struggled to maintain consciousness. The overwhelming fatigue was unlike anything I had ever experienced. The winds that had once been at my beck and call now seemed to elude me, slipping through my grasp like smoke.

Shit, I can't move a muscle!

The demon lord, sensing my sudden vulnerability, seized the opportunity to strike. With a chilling laugh, he gathered the remaining remnants of the forest's power and unleashed it in a torrent of natural fury. Vines and roots snaked toward me, binding me tightly and leaving me defenseless.
