Chapter 164: [War Against a God] 3/?: A Raging Battle
—–
“Move aside from my lord and lady’s path, you hellish fiends!” roared a beautiful woman with pale white skin and scarlet eyes and hair, her beauty was incomparable to most women, and her petite body made her both adorable and sexy, a dangerous combination coupled with her revealing set of clothes and armor alongside her deadly and bloodthirsty presence.
“Ah, Lilith,” said Ervas with a smile, as he kept unleashing Telekinetic attacks to get rid of the dozens of Gazers pestering him in the frontlines at every second.
“Blood Slash! Crimson Blades!” said Lilith, as she jumped across the battlefield and unleashed a series of slashes from her two short swords that took the color of crimson red in midair, slashing apart into pieces several High Gazers at the same time, while landing perfectly in another side of the battlefield, following her beloved masters.
“Yes, my lord, I’ve come to accompany you!” she said, as she glanced at her sisters, Eisheth, Agrat, and Naamah, who were exactly right behind her, using their own weapons to unleash techniques of crimson colors similar to those of Lilith.
“I am in here as well!” said Jason, emerging from a crowd of Gazers as he used his gigantic metallic Cursed Club to smash and grill alive the Gazers that dared to get into his path, some of them survived his hits but were sent flying like baseball balls, and due to Jason’s control over flames, they would end up dying by them anyways whenever they were to hit the ground.
And to his side, a little, gray-colored rock figurine floated, conjuring Earth Attribute Magic that fired small boulders across the battlefield, landing in those that its owner considered as enemies.
“How many floors are left before reaching the depths?” asked a muscular and beautiful chocolate-skinned woman covered in sweat and scars, with short and tomboyish hair and a confident and pretty face, Anna emerged alongside Jason, using her Cursed Axe, which was named as ‘Axe Chan’ by her to split apart the Gazers into perfect halves one after another without ceasing.
“Two more… but I am beginning to feel the presence of the Emperor approaching!” said Veronica while firing flaming javelins covered in a blue fire around the enemy, her body had shapeshifted greatly since she entered the dungeon, as she now had six arms and four legs to walk better and use more weapons at the same time.
Two of her arms fired Javelins produced by her Armory Skill as if they were missiles, while another arm harvested the life of the Gazers through the Anna’s Axe gifted to Veronica. The other pair of arms was shapeshifted into sharp claws which Veronica expanded around like snakes or tentacles, there was also another arm carrying a heavy shield which she used to defend herself from lasers. Due to these changes, Veronica had turned into a walking fortress, reaching three meters in height.
As Veronica used her mind to attack physically, Shade and Ozgeth that were with her used Magic to fight against far away menaces such as High Gazer that tried to melt Veronica away.
There was also Aqua with her, who was wearing large pieces of Cursed Armor and Weapons, despite being a formless slime and using them with great mastery, unleashing techniques to attack and defend, and even Water Attribute Magic or Sylphid’s Wind Attribute Spirit Magic when it was needed.
Charlotte was to her back, with her body as big as a truck, she used her sword-like legs to slice apart the Gazers while using her Metallic threads to entangle others. She was also becoming better at her Time Attribute Magic, conjuring small spells capable of slowing down a group of enemies for the others or herself to finish.
Nidhogg used its brute strength to pass through the masses of Gazers and devoured them through its gaping maw filled with razor-sharp and spiraling teeth. Meanwhile, Kyuu jumped around with lightning-fast speed, unleashing thunder attacks across the battlefield, and assisting Nidhogg and its other tamed monster partners.
Ervas, in the other case, was using Telekinesis to create a barrier around his body while also floating around with the Flight spell. He raised his little arms while releasing javelin-like bone projectiles from the insides of his flesh, while occasionally firing Telekinesis Cannons when the group of Gazers was way too dense.
To his side was Gaia administrating his Mana constantly into the Plant-type monsters spread all across the battlefield as soldiers, which also included Ivy, who crazily rampaged around and devoured the Gazers without any fear of being burned by their Lasers thanks to Gaia’s healings.
Nick, the Live-Undead, and Gwendolyn, the Parasitizing Vine Grass worked together as if they were wife and husband, using the same body to unleash a variety of different attacks. Nick wore a set of Cursed Armor coupled with a Club, an Axe, and a sword, Gwendolyn would work as a third or fourth arm of some sort, making their teamwork into a deadly combination.
The Giant Dark Cursed Ent twins, Ainsley and Alder walked like living fortresses of iron-like wood around the battlefield. Their bodies were enormous yet incredibly hard after evolving several times. Long gone were the days when they were mere tree sprouts that did not even have barks and only had one or two leaves, after such humble beginnings, they had become Ents in the entire sense of the word by becoming humanoid in figure and monstrous in strength. Their bark barely faltered to the High Gazer’s laser and their claws crushed them without issues.
Goliath was accompanied by Gaius and Leonidas, the group of burly men who fought against the menacing armies of endless Gazers with proud smiles on their manly faces. Goliath, the Steel Fist, used the newfound Unique Skill that let him literally transform its fist into steel, crushing into minced meat any Gazer that dared to approach him.
Meanwhile, Gaius activated the transformation properties on his Prosthetic Limbs, which were also Cursed Equipment, which took the form of beastly limbs that let him rush around the battlefield like a real bear, growling and slashing apart Gazers with great ferocity, and lastly, Leonidas raised his deadly Battle Axe to split apart the dense groups of Gazers and create new opportunities for the weaker Male Ghouls to join in and get their kills.
Draconia, on the other side, flew over the battlefield while abusing her wings, and as she did, she user her fire breath from the lungs of a Fire Salamander monster to fry the Gazers below her. Draconia seemed quite energetic today, as she yelled ‘Draaaaaa’ all over the battlefield. Her cry was in fact a weapon as well, using it alongside her vibration-producing organ, she created Sound Bullets directed towards her enemies, making the Gazers that received them explode into pieces due to the vibrations spreading across their bodies… and if she was not already deadly enough, she controlled electricity, although not as good as Kyuu, frying the Gazers one more time if her two previous options were to somehow not work.
And near Ismene’s group, there was Acathea, Pekorina, and Pekoran. Acathea used her powerful superhuman strength inherited from her Bear-kin mixed bloodline to rampage with her bear paws and strong bites, she enhanced her paws as if they were pure iron, slashing the Gazers apart while being protected by Pekoran’s multiple shields and armor pieces.
Pekorina, on the other side, used her quick and nimble movements to unleash blazing kicks that could even break apart steel. Her legs had become muscular yet beautiful, and her slim figure only helped her move at a greater pace and to showcase speeds never seen before. Her blazing kicks came accompanied by her overprotective father’s multiple weapons which slashed and punctured any Gazer fool enough to approach the girls.
As the battle unfolded and Ervas and Veronica reached the last floors, Ervas and Veronica felt the presence of the Emperor silently approaching!
Ervas quickly moved first, calling its loyal friends for battle.
“It’s here… Legion, Cthulhu, Nyarlathotep!” said Ervas, as he called out to Legion who had been silently following him since now, revealing its gigantic and aberrant phantasmal body, which combined dozens of giant Gazer eyes alongside the twisting bodies of humans, monsters, and other spirits.
Cthulhu and Nyarlathotep emerged from within a small, pocket-sized Veronica’s Clone, which Ervas was carrying as a pendant, to store friends or items through Veronica’s Space Expansion Skill, which all of her clones shared.
“Yes, Master Ervas,” said Legion.
“Bililililili!” said Cthulhu.
“Objbjbjbjbjbjjbj!” said Nyarlathotep.
“Attack it!” said Ervas, pointing at the enormous presence flying towards them at great speed, a giant eyeball emerged from the wide corridors of the dungeon, it was covered in hundreds of tentacles with its own eyes as well.
“I shall slay you, invaders, in the name of Oggoth-sama!” roared Krakenusa, although her voice and motives seemed clear to her ‘enemies’ she was in fact completely conflicted deep inside, as the will controlling her was not herself but the powers of her father over her body.
