MMORPG: Rebirth of the Shadow Mage

Tip... Tip...

Eli felt the blood flowing down her face and falling into the water that was currently slightly above their knees.

The huge water dragon was currently blindly thrashing around the arena, trying to catch Ava, who consumed the second Mana potion in a row and teleported away using 'Lightning Step'.

'This is impossible!'

Eli whispered with a frown while Ava created another fireball and threw it towards the Undead Poseidon who was inside a transparent water sphere, waiting for his creation to finish the job.

Swish...

The lonely fireball flew through the arena and its weak flames were extinguished by the sphere surrounding the God.

Ava could've sworn, she saw the creature smirk, but couldn't take another look, because a water monster emerged beneath her feet.

Zziingg...

Lighting particles were dancing on her body as she appeared a dozen feet away from where she previously stood.

While Ava was soaking the pressure of the dragon, Eli decided to attack the Poseidon with her scythe.

Unfortunately, before she could even reach the water sphere surrounding him, she was pushed away by a wave created by the Poseidon.

'If only the water wasn't here...'

Using her scythe to slash the incoming wave Eli thought.

Whoosh.. Stab...

Suddenly a projectile flew through the air and hit Eli directly in her abdomen.

-1423 Physical Damage!

Looking at the weapon stuck in her body Eli paled, it was the same trident of the Poseidon.

'He has intelligence!'

Seeing her body turning into particles Eli sighed and looked towards Ava, who was doing her hardest to avoid the huge water serpent.

Pluck...

The trident magically flew back to the god's hands and he shifted his body towards Ava.

'We were unfortunate to meet a God...'

[ ���'�� ���� ������ �� ��� ������ ��������! ]

Eli's body dissolved into nothingness, leaving Ava alone in the arena with the rampaging water dragon and the seemingly invulnerable Undead Poseidon.

While seeing Eli die Ava knew she couldn't defeat the Poseidon on her own, but she refused to give up.

She summoned all her strength and focused on the water dragon, dodging and weaving as she tried to find a way to defeat it. Every time it lunged at her, she narrowly avoided its snapping jaws, but she could feel her energy starting to flag.

She knew she couldn't keep this up for much longer. She had to find a way to bring the water dragon down, and fast.

As she darted around the arena, an idea began to form in her mind. She needed to create a distraction, something to draw the water dragon's attention away from her. And she knew just the thing.

With a burst of energy, Ava summoned a massive fireball and threw it at the water dragon's tail. The beast roared as the projectile exploded, thrashing wildly as it waited for its lost body part to regenerate in the water.

Ava seized the opportunity and dashed towards the water sphere surrounding the Undead Poseidon. She knew it was a risky move, but she had to try.

As she approached the sphere, she could see the god inside, watching her with a smug smile on his face. She could feel his power emanating from within the sphere, but she bit her lip, proceeding to approach it.

She gathered all her Mana and focused on the sphere, trying to find a way to break through it. She knew it wouldn't be easy, but she was determined to succeed.

With a mighty effort, Ava conjured a spear of lightning and launched it at the sphere. The spear struck the surface of the barrier and sent a shockwave through the water, causing it to ripple and shake.

For a moment, Ava thought she had succeeded. But then the sphere stabilized and the Undead Poseidon's smug smile returned.

Even though the lightning couldn't harm undead, it could somewhat interfere with the water protection the god possessed.

Ava knew she had to try something else. She summoned another spear of lightning and directed it at the trident that was sticking out of the sphere. If she could destroy the trident, maybe she could weaken the god's power.

Whoosh...

The spear struck the ruined trident with a brilliant flash of light, causing it to shatter into pieces. But to Ava's dismay, the sphere remained intact and the Undead Poseidon's power seemed undiminished.

She knew she had to keep fighting. She summoned another spear of lightning and directed it at the sphere, hoping that the second projectile would break through it.

But before she could attack again, the water dragon roared and lunged at her, its jaws open wide. Ava knew she didn't have enough mana to dodge, and braced herself for the impact.

Splash...

-78 Physical Damage!

Ava was thrown against the wall and vomited blood. She took a deep breath, trying to calm her racing thoughts as she tried to come up with a new plan. She knew she couldn't keep dodging the water dragon and the Undead Poseidon's attacks forever. She needed to find a way to defeat them and get out of the arena alive.

She glanced at the shattered pieces of the trident, an idea beginning to form in her mind. If she could disturb the water sphere long enough, maybe she could have a chance of throwing a fireball inside it and harming the god.

She summoned another spear of lightning and directed it at the sphere, trying to find a weakness or a way to disrupt its protective properties. But just like before, the sphere absorbed the spear and remained unchanged.

Ava gritted her teeth, frustration and desperation starting to set in. She couldn't keep this up for much longer. She needed to find a way to defeat the god, and fast.

Just as she was about to try another attack, she heard a loud roar from the water dragon. She turned to see the beast thrashing around wildly, its body writhing and contorting as it struggled to regenerate its lost tail.

Ava took the opportunity to attack the Undead Poseidon again, summoning another spear of lightning and directing it at the water sphere. This time, she put all her remaining Mana into the attack, pouring all her hopes into it.

The spear struck the sphere with a brilliant flash of light, causing it to ripple and shake violently. Ava could see the god inside, his smug smile disappearing as he realized what was happening.

For a moment, it seemed like the sphere was about to break. But then, just as suddenly as it had started, the shaking stopped and the sphere stabilized. Ava could see the god's smug smile returning as he raised his hand, a spear of water forming in his palm.

'I have to dodge it...'

Ava knew she had to act fast. She summoned another fireball and threw it at the water dragon, trying to further damage it while she tried to find a way to defeat the god. But as she was turning to attack the Undead Poseidon again, she felt a sharp pain in her chest.

Pluck...

She looked down to see the spear of water that the god had summoned, stuck in her chest. She gasped in pain, feeling her strength and energy draining away as the spear sapped her life force.

She fell to her knees, her vision blurring as she struggled to stay conscious. She knew she couldn't give up, not now, not when she was so close to victory. She summoned all her remaining strength and focused on the water sphere, trying to find a way to break through it.

She summoned another spear of lightning and directed it at the sphere, while consuming a Mana and a health potion she took out of her inventory. She could feel the god's power and the water sphere resisting her attack, but she didn't let that stop her. She kept attacking, pouring all her Mana and Power into it.

Finally, after what felt like an eternity, the water sphere started to crack. Ava could see the god inside, his smug smile disappearing as he realized what was happening.

With a final burst of energy, Ava summoned one last spear of lightning and directed it at the sphere. The spear struck the sphere with a brilliant flash of light, causing it to shatter into a million pieces.

The Undead Poseidon roared in anger and frustration as he was finally exposed, his power and protective water sphere no longer able to shield him. Ava could see the god's true form, a rotting, undead creature with glowing eyes and a crown of seaweed on its head.

Despite her weakened state, Ava summoned all her remaining strength and launched herself at the god, her hands lit with a bright, eerie fire. She struck the god with all her might, her fireball managing to scratch its undead flesh with high difficulty.

The god roared in frustration and rage as it was finally wounded, its body disintegrating into a pile of seaweed and bones. Ava collapsed to the ground, her energy and strength depleted, but a sense of triumph and victory filling her heart.

She had done it. Ava had defeated the Undead Poseidon and saved the arena from his wrath.

The dragon roared in pain and rage, its body dissipating into a cloud of mist. Ava collapsed to the ground, her energy and strength finally depleted, but a sense of satisfaction and accomplishment filling her heart.

She had done it. She had defeated the undead god!
