Summoning the Holy Sword

Chapter 1122 - Core of the Chaos Nest



Chapter 1122: Core of the Chaos Nest

The normal procedure in a BOSS raid should have a main tanker in defensive position taking the ‘aggro’ from the BOSS, a support player standing by to provide buffs and healing spells, and an attacker dealing massive amounts of damage in the shortest time possible, while avoiding taking too much damage to ease the pressure on the healers… yes, this was basically it.

But it was a pity that the world wouldn’t ever go in accordance to one’s wishes.

“Leader, can you attract the monsters’ ‘aggro’ properly? Woahhhh, they’re heading here already. Get lost!!”

The current scene was a prior indication that this party was about to be doomed in a BOSS raid due to their failure in coordination.

But this wasn’t too surprising, since there was still a difference between game and reality, after all. Even though the most ideal way was to have Rhode coordinate with his summoned spirits and hold down the core of the Chaos Nest, with Mini Bubble Gum providing buffs at the side as Canary and Lydia deployed a strategy to destroy the BOSS as quickly as possible with their insane damage output, it was a pity that it wasn’t as effective here.

Canary’s most efficient flame and wind elements seemed to be weakened in this vacuum environment. Her water elemental spell was able to put up a front, but it was difficult to deal damage to a BOSS. On the other hand, the powerful holy light emanated by Lydia and Mini Bubble Gum became a thorn in the Chaos Nest’s side. The instant both sides clashed, it launched an attack at Lydia and Mini Bubble Gum, tossing Rhode and Canary aside. In the blink of an eye, the positions of both sides swapped over. Rhode who was the main tanker became the attacker now, while Canary gave up her duties as a mage and began to put up defenses. On the contrary, Lydia and Mini Bubble Gum became the pitiful main tankers… and had to even take turns to attract the ‘aggro’.

The huge monster cried and extended its arms. Even though the tattered moon base no longer had the conditions to transmit sound, the monster’s cries erupted like sound waves that burst into their skulls. If they were ordinary people, perhaps their bodies would have already exploded upon hearing it. But with spiritual powers protecting them, even the harsh environment in space couldn’t affect Rhode’s group and it made the booming cries sound like pure noises.

But this didn’t mean their battle was easy.

Gazing at the baby’s stretched out right hand, Lydia grimaced and raised her swords quickly. One by one, sacred and beautiful symbols appeared before her, flickering in dazzling brilliance like a sky full of stars. They intertwined and linked together into coalesced light blades that whistled across the air and slashed heavily on its right arm. As the holy energy purified its arm, the enormous baby widened its mouth to let out a blood-curdling screech. It didn’t retract its arm, but continued to thrust it out instead. Not only that, but as long as one looked closely, one would also discover that there were countless, densely packed hands all over the huge right arm. They were like some kind of fur, fluttering constantly in the baby’s movements, at the same time struggling in despair as though a devil from hell trying to shred everything in its vision. Even though they burned to ashes under the holy brilliance, the enormous baby didn’t seem to be giving up anytime soon. It widened its mouth, erupted in earth-shattering screams and wails, and continued to attack. At the next moment, a blinding, silver-whitish radiance dazzled from the side.

Boom!

Mini Bubble Gum raised her right hand high up, clenched her fist, and thrust forward. Along with her movement, a series of silver-whitish light shone, coalescing on her fist into a massive shock wave that blasted ahead, striking heavily on the enormous baby’s right arm that was on the verge of collapse due to Lydia’s attack earlier. After this ambush from Mini Bubble Gum, the deformed right arm exploded instantly like a cotton-filled doll. The corpses used to make up the right arm scattered everywhere but shortly after, they transformed into all sorts of mysterious monsters that pounced on the enemies before them.

“Wnai sbua!”

A solid ice wall appeared out of thin air. Canary raised her right hand high up in the air, drawing several clear, beautiful patterns using the blue light sphere glowing at her fingertip. All of a sudden, an ice wall appeared in the empty space around Lydia and Mini Bubble Gum, obstructing the monsters’ ambush effectively. Meanwhile, Rhode emerged from behind the ice wall like a sneaky ghost. He clutched and flourished the black chain sword with all his might. As soon as the ice wall shattered, two of his shadow clones also brandished the same sword simultaneously in a trail of afterimages. The razor-sharp chain swords extended abruptly, intertwining in the air to form an airtight net that smashed the monsters like a meat grinder.

Even though the process sounded really long, everything ended in just half a minute. After missing its attack, the enormous baby retreated swiftly in its humongous body, evading the combined attack of the four of them. At the same time, its right arm that was crushed by Lydia and Mini Bubble Gum regenerated quickly with countless human corpses crawling onto its cut-off wound consciously to ‘make up’ and form a new arm.

“Darn it, there’s no end to this. Leader, can’t we just defeat it once and for all?”

Gazing at the core that regenerated yet again, Mini Bubble Gum puckered her brows and grumbled. This situation kept repeating itself. Even though the core’s defense wasn’t particularly strong and was broken up easily, its terrifying and mysterious regeneration ability was a pain in the butt. No matter which part of the core they attacked, it would regenerate instantly. Not only that, but the crumbled arms and legs also turned into Chaos Creatures that attacked them. It was as though they had to face an encirclement from hundreds of level 60 creatures in the Elite Stage after attacking the BOSS once. This was too exhausting for them.

Moreover, what pained them the most was that the core was growing gradually! Although Rhode’s group dealt a certain amount of damage to it, it wasn’t enough to stop its growth. If it was only considered a two-month-old fetus at the start, right now, its arms and legs had almost grown and taken shape and could be said to be almost a seven-month-old fetus now! If they didn’t eliminate it soon, who knew what would become of it!

“Damn it…”

Gnashing his teeth, Rhode knitted his brows and didn’t summon other spirits. This was because his younger sister had reminded him before the battle that if his summoned spirits weren’t high enough in level, they would in turn be corroded by Chaos. This meant that he would lose them forever and had to prevent this from happening. As of now, he didn’t summon other holy sword spirits into battle, just in case.

But it seemed like he had to come up with a plan.

“Your Highness Lydia, we need to eliminate these damn monsters. I suppose you’ve already witnessed its growth. If we don’t defeat it before it grows again, we don’t know what it will turn into! I’m sure you have the strength to destroy the entire region, right, Your Highness Lydia!”

Upon hearing Rhode’s question, Lydia muttered to herself before responding to him.

“Of course, Your Majesty Rhode… but the gathering of my powers is a little slow in this world because I have to borrow the strength of the sun. But now, we…”

“Leave it to me, Your Highness Lydia. You just need to watch for our signal.”

After listening to her concerns, Rhode knew what she meant. He interrupted her and said, gesturing to Canary and Mini Bubble Gum.

“Canary, Bubble, attack its chest with all your strength! Crush a big hole in it if possible!”

“Okay, Rhode.”

“Yes, Leader!”

The two young ladies had lots of experience coordinating with Rhode. As soon as they heard his command, they knew he had decided to put all one’s their eggs in one basket and thry would no longer need to conserve their spiritual powers. In the blink of an eye, they dispersed to the left and right. Canary extended her arms before her and the unique, circuit board-like magic circuit of ‘Supreme Privileges’ emanated from her body. Shortly after, she widened her eyes abruptly.

“Elemental Conversion! All skills convert!”

Canary commanded. The scarlet magical ritual on her body flickered all of a sudden, switching colors to white, black, green, yellow, and purple, before finally stopping at blue. The instant the colors stopped changing, a cold, mighty aura erupted from her. She gazed at the monsters before her and swung her arms forward. A dozen ice dragons appeared out of thin air, widening their mouths and snarling as they pounced on the monsters ahead.

“———!”

Perhaps sensing danger from this reckless attack of hers, the core turned around, clenched its fist and extended its hand toward her. Countless thick and strong tentacles on the walls struck out like razor-sharp swords, lashing at the young lady from all directions. But before they struck her, a solid ice wall obstructed them. An ice storm revolving around Canary proliferated. In the blink of an eye, the surroundings were covered in a layer of white frost and even the massive body of the core came to an abrupt halt. The crystal-clear coldness enveloped all things. At the next moment, a silver-whitish, holy radiance erupted.

Boom———!

Mini Bubble Gum gnashed her teeth. Three massive light spheres behind her erupted and released an unparalleled bombardment of light beams. The continuously whirling silver-whitish light beams burst straight ahead like sharp drills, striking heavily on the baby’s chest that was frozen by Canary’s ice dragons. Ice shards splattered everywhere. Mini Bubble Gum had forcefully struck a hole in the enormous baby’s chest. The core began to shudder upon sensing the holy energy penetrating its body. It flung its arms around frantically, attempting to stop further attacks from Mini Bubble Gum. But it was due to this that it completely overlooked Rhode, who had sneaked below it.

Now’s the chance!

Gazing at the cracking body constructed by countless corpses, Rhode had no time to feel disgusted anymore. On the contrary, he stared at the large, black hole and flourished his right arm forward! In this attack, the pitch-black chain sword punctured the core’s opening. But if one were to watch closely, one would discover that a pitch-black card was also at the tip of the sword.

“Come on out! Dusk of Annihilation!”

Rhode flipped his right wrist around and in this quick move, a bright radiance flashed in his palm. Shortly after, the pitch-black sword returned to his hand and he swiftly retreated as he had attained his goal.

Then, at the next moment, a gigantic magic cannon burst through the ground and penetrated the baby’s body!

Then, a wild and dazzling torrent of light erupted from the pitch-black opening of the cannon, bursting skyward. The violent force ripped through the core’s body, broke through the containment of steel, and rushed straight into the sky. The quiet moon’s surface shattered, cracked, and crumbled. Then, a figure emanating a bright radiance hovered high up in the starry sky.

“Now, Your Highness Lydia!”

Lydia raised the swords in her hands. The blinding radiance of the sun illuminated her body without reservation, and the archangel didn’t waver at all. She gazed quietly at the crumbling surface, as well as the frantic, struggling monsters. Countless tentacles fluttered in despair, lashing at the ground and tugging their bodies to escape from this disastrous attack. But it was a pity that it was too late.

“In the name of the holy God and honor of glory, please destroy this evil presence!”

It was like a dreamy scene.

The ground collapsed and the radiance of the sun shone from within, forming a raging stream of light crashing down on the ground like a waterfall. In an instant, the universe changed its colors. The large, dazzling ball of light was as though another sun that devoured the land entirely.
