Besieging the Elemental Lord

But this was no fair fight. Bai Xiaowen's side had no intention of giving the Steam Elemental Lord a chance to fight one-on-one.

Ahan, Basaka, Harold... a whole group of powerful melee fighters climbed onto the lava islet.

At Bai Xiaowen's direction, six ships surrounded the islet. At the bow of each stood at least one human archmage in a mage's robe, bearing an air of authority. Including the blonde mage Catherine, there were eight in all.

At Bai Xiaowen's request, all eight archmages had learned a basic frost spell or found a staff that could cast one. They were the main force in this battle.
