Legend of the Immortal

Unlikely

"Puh!" Joel spat out yet another mouthful of fresh blood, dying the grounds a crimson red as he struggled to maintain his ground.

"I'll give it to you kid...You hold your ground pretty well." The [Draconic Overlord] spoke with no emotion, devoid of feeling despite the praises it spoke.

Joel panted heavily, catching his breath,"I...Huff...Don't need...PRAISES FROM YOU!" He roared as he chanted yet another spell,"[Quagmire Blooms]! AHHHH!"

Joel felt his body getting heavier as the ground around him started to loosen, the earth becoming a more viscous liquid than a solid.

"Hah! You still can fight! It's been over a week! You'll drop from exhaustion by then!" The [Feral King] laughed.

"I may die...But I will never concede! HAAAAAA!" Joel pushed on, his eyes threatening to close at any moment, his vision growing foggy.

His clothes were a mess, tattered, torn.

Most of the wounds on the outside were light and superficial but many blows maintained either added up or had internal damages.

"Blegh!" Joel vomited out more blood yet again, his eyes bloodshot,"I WILL NOT CONCEDE!"

The spell grew stronger, draining the three leaders.

"Gah! How strong is this freak? How can he stand against us for so long? Even we need to switch out!" The [Feral King] grunted.

"He's going based on pure tenacity. The mana he puts out is from us, his brute force is the only thing keeping him upright. Calm down now brothers, he will fall any moment." The [Fallen Saint] revealed calmly,"Let's humiliate him. We'll crush everything he loves. We'll crush this fort."

"Are you sending them?" The [Draconic Overlord] asked calmly.

"Yes. Hold him back brothers...I will now chant it...[Greater]...[Portal]!" The [Fallen Saint] shouted, a massive, no- a colossal portal blew open from out of nowhere, millions of soldiers flooding from it as they ran towards the fort from barely a few hundred meters away.

"FREEDOM ARMY! FOR THE FREEDOM! FOR THE THREE GREAT LEADERS! FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!" The army shouted, making the soldiers tremble in the face of such adversity.

"Go my soldiers! Destroy the humans! Get your rights back!" The [Fallen Saint] giggled,"Now...Where were we? Oh right. You two, deal with him, I'll keep the portal open for as long as my mana allows."

"Got it. [Aerial Meteors]!"

"Aye! [Crushing Death]!"

An invisible force pushed Joel down,"GAHHHHHH!" Joel resisted, his back giving way, slowly but surely.

Soon, he was forced to his knees.

BAM!

BAM!

BAM!

Three successful, consecutive blows from the [Feral King] knocked him back several meters, almost knocking the life out of Joel.

Thud!

Joel hit the ground, motionless.

He had lost the ability to move from immense overconsumption of mana.

Those words rang in Joel's ears louder than anything had before.

He felt a small amount of mana enter his body, just enough for basic movements and extremely beginner level spells.
