“By the Ancestor Gods!” Roared Adok as he raised his hammer into the air, “Feel the wrath of Dwarfen Runes!”
Upon the declaration the hammer slammed into the rocky floor of Castle Mousillon. The material quickly shattered under the strength of the blow, leaving behind a Rune of Oath & Steel upon the ground infront of him.
Lucian felt his flesh tighten and the armor become even heavier as he advanced towards the two Grail Knights. The other two were in motion against him with their blades seeking a weakened joint. One of them had shouldered a broad sword carried in both his hands while his fellow swung about a bastard sword which was partnered with a shield.
There was no surprise as the shield user took the blow from Lucian’s scythe, giving to the broadsword user a good range to swing down his mighty weapon upon the neck of Lucian. A good decapitation strike that would lead to the death of the leader and the routing of the plague infested army away from their plague infested fortress.
But the Rune of Oath & Steel was there. It glowed upon the rocks and also the armor that Lucian wore. As single square Rune, an impenetrable defense, showed as the blow slammed into the back of Lucian. The attack however did not buckle, it did not move, for the Runecraft of the Dwarfs was a mighty thing which would not be sundered by a mere stroke of the executioner’s blade.
“Hehe, fools!” Declared the Dwarf as he slammed his hammer upon the ground once more, “The Wrath of Dwarfen Gods is our mighty wall! Now feel our bite.”
An arrow appeared in the stone and the hand of Lucian, the Knight soon moving through the air like a breeze much to the surprise of the two White Grail Knights who he was fighting. The Scythe within a single second was taken from the broken shield and swung at the higher Knight’s neck.
There was no need for any more magics, only the slamming of the weapon into the neck of the warrior. The Rune of Smiting, the same Great Rune which ordained legendary arms of Dwarf Slayer Kings, flickered to life. The body of the Grail Knight exploded into ash as Lucian swept the blow.
Then, as if all that was holding him up was gone, the shield bearing Grail Knight collapsed upon the ground.
