When persuasion failed, the Tower Mages immediately moved to encircle and kill Erelado.
The Lightning Element Mage drew the rapier from her waist and, transforming into a bolt of electricity, shot towards Erelado. The giant stone golem controlled by the Earth Element Mage transformed its right hand into a battle hammer, sweeping it towards the elven heroes defending Erelado. The other Tower Mages also unleashed their attack magic, intending to eliminate their target for the beheading operation with concentrated fire.
However, a bullet came streaking from above, grazing the Earth Element Mage's side and burrowing into the giant stone golem's head. The stone golem's head exploded. Its hammer never touched the elves before it crumbled into a pile of rubble, scattering across the shield the heroes had raised.
