  Instantly, the energy gathering at Brineary's scythe pulsed more violently and discharged, flying out in a deadly streak of light towards the capital of Minecraftia. At the same moment, the three headed dragon opened all three of his mouths, unleashing three streaks of lightning towards the same destination as his rider.

  "Sorcerers, defensive shield!" Steve yelled, magically amplifying his voice for everyone to hear.

  In unison, every sorcerer strategically placed at different locations on the city walls and towers shot out a beam of energy of their own characteristic colors. The beams all joined together as a rainbow colored shield, perfectly intercepting the energy attacks.

  "Hold!" Steve commanded, gritting his teeth as he poured his own energy into stopping Brineary's assault alongside the other sorcerers present. Everywhere else in the city, every single magic user was straining to hold up the spell, pouring every single inch of their efforts into the protective enchantment.

  The mass of clashing energy eventually exploded into a blinding shower of sparks, as a wave of smoke swept across the entire city, obscuring the sight of everyone present and sent people into a coughing fit.

  But Rin was there. He raised his spear, and the darkness followed his command, churning the smoke away from Lytrovius and directing it towards the advancing fliers.

  Yet the viruses kept advancing, the fliers undeterred by the smoke. The two dragons split off, Brineary atop the King and Carify the Queen. The three headed dragons bombarded the city with their lightning and fire, while Brineary, Carify and the three remaining champions hurled bolts of energy towards the city as they advanced, flying through the air.

  Without a further command, all sorcerers sprung into action, intercepting the energy attacks with another combined shield, straining hard to freeze the aggressive bursts of power into place.

  Rianna took a deep breath, before reaching out with her powers, creating as large as a space portal as she dared to. The portal shimmered into existence behind the mess of colliding energy, before swallowing it up and spitting it towards Brineary and the rest of his fliers, forcing them to swerve and circle back in order to prevent serious damage.

  A cheer went up among the walls of Lytrovius, but the joy was short lived. The virus army was rapidly approaching the city walls.

   "Catapults and crossbows, fire at will!" Steve yelled.

  The large weapons sprung into action, launching flaming projectiles towards the virus army and the incoming fliers.

  The two dragons spiralled through the air to eavde the projectiles, while the three champions which followed closely behind blasted the flaming boulders to ash in midair, raining drops of fire upon their soldiers below in the process. Some of the viruses screamed out in agony as their code was attacked by the raging flames, while they frantically rolled on the ground in the hope of putting out the fire.

  Mitch shouted a command to his fellow archers, as they all nocked arrows in unison, the tips ablaze. Mitch's own eyes glowing a orangish yellow as he nocked a blaze rod onto his bow, the golden yellow staff morphing into the shape of an arrow.

  "Fire!" Mitch yelled.

  The archers all let go of their strings, Mitch included. Flaming projectiles arced through the air, lightning up the entire night sky, before landing in a pile of dried bushes and firewood that was previously laid before the city and doused in oil.

  A burning barrier blazed into existence, haulting the flailing viruses in their tracks. Those unable to hault their charge crashed straight into the flames, screaming as their code was torn apart and their forms obliterated.
