9 Antium hive

Clay pulled the shield out of his inventory and looked at it.

—Mage Hunters Bulwark-

Rank: High level.

Type: Shield.

Description: Used by an elite unit of mage assassins the Mage Hunters Bulwark is a shield with the crystal of a Antium AntiMage embedded in the centre allowing it to nullify a single affinity of magic. (Warning: Not effective against 2+ mages of different affinities)

Shield ability: nullify- Cause a single affinity of mana to be unusable in a 10MX10M area. Time dependent on mana added 100 per minute.—

"This..... is actually quite useful! I can fight single affinity mages with ease now like Garth. Antium antimages are going to be a pain in the ass as my mana allows me to have a constant use of shadows and light heals to stay alive....Hmm let's check on my stats."

"Oh shit! I got another element?" He summoned a ball of electricity that when thrown would expand to cover an area in a fine web shocking everything within.

"Abilities." He shouted as a new screen came up.

—All dark abilities increased by 10%.

All light abilities increased by 8%.

New traits: shadow born is the mark of those who fought and learned to become one with the shadows allowing greater manipulation and shaping of all shadow based abilities. 150% increase to all shadow based abilities.

Lightning lance is lightning mana condensed into a fine point designed to puncture the armour of any creature to roam the land or sky's. Damage equals creatures armour count. (Warning: Don't use underwater or risk of mana implosion)

Electric Web is a condensed ball of lightning mana that upon impact with an object covers it in a web of electricity that stuns and damages the target. 5 second stun, damage proportional to size of creature.

Thunder's roar creates a miniature sonic boom like the sound of thunder causing disorientation and hearing loss for those in close proximity with possible damage to hearing sensitive creatures. Effects vary depending on proximity and sound sensitivity.-

"oh damn!" Clay shouted, immediately looking around in case anything crawled into the cavern he was hiding in. Quietly walking to the entrance Clay took a glance out in to the hall only seeing the hundreds of bodies from ants he killed.

'I have got to get out of here.' He thought of entering the shadow realm. Looking through all the little mirrors he eventually reached the end of the void, a vast field where the light ceased to touch.

Putting his hands on his hips Clay huffed 'well fuck. none led to the outside, guess I ran too far into the hive?'

Exiting the shadow realm Clay started down the corridor listening to the sounds of mandibles clacking. Clays night vision allowed perfect sight down the long hallway until it came to an abrupt turn. Reaching the end of the corridor he took a look around the corner, to his horror a group of 40 or so Antium were charging down the hallway and the answer to his question for why the corridors were so massive was answered.

Antium AntiMage- lvl.138 1580/1580HP 0/0MP

The hallways Clay was traversing through were decent sized, large enough to fit a mid-sized mini van through with a decent amount of room left over. This ant was as large as a truck, a large pincer hung from its face, sharp like a guillotine ready to sever the limbs of intruders, a gem of ocean blue rested in its forehead, Clay could feel the void of power it created. Clay crouched, gathering every shadow down the hall into a wave.

With a release of titanic power Clay let the wave flow down the hall. A feeling of sudden fatigue took over Clay as he watched the wave of shadow mana fizzle out of existence.

'The anti magic!' He thought panicked, switching to lighting he decided to try out his new ability: lightning lance. The formation of the spell was quick as he now held a javelin of pure electric power in his hands. Winding up his throw he released and with a bright flash that caused a loud screech from the small ants the gem on the forehead of the ant shattered letting the tidal wave of dark mana out to flood the tunnel.

'So it doesn't remove but just contains it?!?' Clay thought. 'Interesting!'

Once the wave dissipated Clay noticed a lack of bodies but a bunch of small bags on the floor along with a new notification.

-You are now lvl.37-

'Huh' he thought, walking over to pick one of them up, and as soon as he touched it he picked up something.

-You have received:

-10 reinforced chitin

-2 Antium pincer-

Clay went around collecting all the bags till the only one left was the massive ants corpse.

'Let's see.' He thought about opening his inventory.

-Inventory:

Wood-54

Rare Flowers-2

Bark-46

Reinforced chitin-482

Pincers-46 (size: Small)

Total Weight: 270-

Clay could feel the phantom weight as it pressed down on his shoulders, realizing something He opened his stats again.

'Nice' he thought, continuing down the hall. Coming up to the Antium AntiMages corpse he touched it to see what he could collect.

-You have received:

30 reinforced chitin

2 mandibles (Large)

Mana Crystal (shattered)-

Picking up the remaining items Clay continued on down the hall till a quiet clicking caught his attention.

'Huh' he thought before a sharp smack to the temple brought his world into a realm of darkness.
