An enormous shadow descended from above and crashed into the ground, scattering the smashed gravel. Leon raised his head and stared at the fallen enemy. Judging from its appearance, it resembled a centipede that was magnified a few hundred times. A magical radiance flickered from its green shell. The razor-sharp teeth writhed on both sides of its metallic mouth parts, letting out a series of disturbing cackling. If this was all, perhaps he would have treated it as just an ordinary creature. However, as soon as he witnessed the three magic cannons on it, he instantly threw this thought to the back of his head. The magic armor on this centipede should have belonged to the BOSS here. But now, it seemed like they fused and came up with a new ability.
Is this considered the Crystal Centipede Knight?
"Girls, put up your defenses. Beware of your surroundings!"
Clang!
Sakuya brandished the red katana and slashed the centipede's metal claws. Sparks flew as she continued to circle the enemy from the side. At the same time, the two protrusions like magic cannons on the enemy's head shifted directions and their pitch-black openings aimed at the young lady. Then, dazzling radiance erupted.
Sakuya was unfazed in front of the incoming attack . She tilted her head and watched as the magic beam got closer. Then, she let out a disturbing laughter and laid her sword before her, deflecting the green magic beam. At the same time, the second wave of attacks began.
"———!"
Two blinding silver blade rays slashed an 'X' in the centipede's body. Sera and Althea emerged out of the shadows and punctured their daggers into the enemy. Dark green blood spurted from the wound and judging from the dense fog surrounding the enemy, it was apparent that this enemy wasn't that easy to deal with.
Meanwhile, Luna raised her arms—a radiance shone from above and dispersed the fog around the enemy. Then, a white whip with countless thorns shot out from the shadows on the ground and bound the enemy tightly. At the next second, silver bladed rays illuminated the dark space as Althea switched weapon, she brandished her sword in midair.
If it were an ordinary creature, perhaps it would have been completely annihilated by now. But it was apparent that this enemy wasn't easy to deal with at all. It let out a grueling howl and crumbled like fallen blocks instantly. Shortly after, the gigantic centipede split into hundreds of smaller centipedes that struck at the visitors.
The ground burned in flames.
From the rear Gracier blasted a string of blazing fireballs across the sky, splashing a paint of scarlet in the dark clouds. Shortly after, dark lightning bolts blasted from the clouds and stopped the fireballs. At the same time, the enemies brought new reinforcements to the army of monsters. The hundreds of thousands of strange, twisted-looking enemies fluttered their wings like hungry locusts rushing for food while letting out disturbing buzzes. They soared through the sky and crashed ruthlessly into the tower where Gracier stood. Under her guidance the tower erupted blazing flames and burned the enemies. But the enemies had no intention of stopping. The thick layers of cloud above split up and released countless bugs from within. Their buzzes overwhelmed the sound of explosion, thunder, and rumbling of the ground, leaving the entire battlefield in an unsettling state.
The magic beam that was powerful enough to blast a deep gorge on the ground was useless against tens of thousands of tiny bugs.
''The situation isn't looking great.''
Leon held his sword and knitted his brows at this scene. The pitch-black and silver flames interwove to form a defense barrier around him. However, this was far from enough because they began feeling tremendous pressure after the centipede split into thousands of smaller centipedes. Each of the meter-long creatures was built with four metallic limbs and their both ends had creepy, sharp mouth parts. Although everyone's attacks could effectively eliminate them, the creatures would instantly regenerate and increase in numbers.
"This is getting tough."
He mumbled under his breath. At this moment, his fiancee grinned and brandished her pitch-black chain sword, slicing into half one of the creatures that pounced on her. Then, the dark flames surged on the wounds and the creature squirmed on the ground. But shortly after, two metallic limbs grew from its severed wounds and it stood up once again.
It was like a splitting cell. One turned into two and two turned into four. It was completely endless.
Nothing good would come out of this if this continued. They'd have kill everything in one shot.
''Fall Back!"
When Leon was wondering how to kill this annoying enemy he heard Luna's warning and together with the other they fall back. It was then it happened.
Luna raised her hands.
[Holy 7th Tier Magic: Dusk of Annihilation]
"————"
White steam spurted in sharp, whistling sounds. Then something manifested ten meters above the Saintess, a massive shadow emerged in the dark, illusory sky—an illusionary cannon tower that was at least tens of meters tall followed an invisible trajectory as it streaked across the night sky. Magical radiance flashed and three rotating magical rituals shone by the empty cannon muzzle. An unprecedented, powerful force coalesced into a strength of mass destruction.
The brilliance blasted and twisted the night sky, engulfing the creatures that were as small as ants. Then, an enormous whirlpool appeared in the punctured ground with radiances from lightning and flame merging together. The sharp sound of wind reached its peak as though signifying the start and end of the destruction.
The others opened their mouths agape in front of the majestic scene of destruction.
Meanwhile, the responsible Luna heaved an exhausted sigh. All her powers were drained from this shot. She quickly gulped down a high quality Mana recovery potion.
'You can never be too prudent. The moment you think you have won it when you're vulnerable and will suffer an unexpected attack.'
Indeed, it happened.
The whirlpool created from the terrifying explosion stopped.
Indistinct clamors could be heard from the center of the whirlpool which resembled the mumbles of a mentally disordered person in their sleep. Shortly after, the clamors turned into deep roars while the ground and grass rose skyward.
A massive creature burst out of the ground, widening its eyes at the tiny creatures beneath. The creature wasn't too different from the centipede. But the disgusting tentacles all around it were nowhere to be seen. Instead, what replaced them were strong arms. The powerful creature lifted its body off the ground and the reflections from the bloody flesh and metal were revolting. It looked like a huge tree that enveloped its prey with its shadow.
Luna and the others stared blankly at this scene.
