Gravlok slowly got back to his feet, he stared over at the elixir that was now somehow soaking into the impervious tar surface of the car yard. When he saw it he began to laugh maniacally. The remaining fairy looked as though she was about to pass out so he ignored her. It was time to settle another old score anyway.
“No matter what happens to me you cannot stop it now!” he yelled as he turned to face Heliodor.
Heliodor slammed the base of his staff hard onto the road and another fireball formed around the flaming crystal at its top. He then swung the staff in a wide arc and sent the ball of flame hurtling towards Gravlok again. This one was bigger than the first one and intended to kill rather than stun. This time however Gravlok was well prepared and stood his ground.
“Extinguish!” he commanded raising his claws and pointing them palms first towards the oncoming fireball. A moment later it vanished with nothing more than a small puff of smoke.
“After all this time I expected so much more from you,” he said mockingly.
“I promise you will not be disappointed for long!” growled Heliodor as he smashed his staff upon the ground once more. This time a shockwave blasted through the air in all directions. When it hit Gravlok he was thrown back several metres and hard up against a car. The collision seemed to hurt the car more than Gravlok however because he quickly stood up again and waved a disapproving finger towards Heliodor.
“You will pay dearly for that apprentice. Immobilise!” he commanded, but Heliodor was unaffected and simply smashed his staff onto the ground again and created another shockwave that was more violent than the first.
Again Gravlok was thrown backwards into the car, driving it back several feet with him. This time it knocked the wind out of him and he fell forwards onto his hands and knees after he bounced off the car.
“Are you so arrogant that you think I would face you without knowing how to protect myself against that little trick?”
Gravlok did not respond. Instead he placed the palm of his hand onto the ground as though he was going to stand again.
“Tremor!” he commanded in the ancient tongue. A giant crack suddenly appeared in the road surface that quickly raced towards Heliodor who had to dive frantically to one side to avoid being swallowed by it. The resulting earth tremor also threw everything in close proximity several feet into the air, cars included.
Gravlok stood again and was well satisfied with the result. The sight of his undead brethren starting to slowly appear from the deep crevasse made it all the more sweet. All there was left to do now was to finish his revenge on Heliodor then sit back and watch the undead destroy everything.
He pointed a claw towards Heliodor before he had a chance to recover and spoke the words of a final spell. He was going to make Heliodor suffer a long and painful death.
“Electrify!” he commanded and electricity arced from his fingertips and hit Heliodor in the chest. He thrashed around crying out in pain until the burst stopped then fell to the ground dropping his staff. As he tried to reach for it again Gravlok repeated the torturous spell and this time Heliodor roared in agony.
Gravlok approached Heliodor as he tried once again to get to his feet. All around him undead orcs were crawling from the deep split in the road. Gravlok smiled widely as he prepared to cast the spell again.
“I am going to make this very long and very painful. Soon you will be begging me to kill you and when you do I am just going to hurt you more!”
