Chapter 1787: Fighting The Relentless Swarm!
Chapter 1787: Fighting The Relentless Swarm!
The train was about to go off, not only we needed to get to that city, but also buy tickets and get inside that damn train.
Why? because we all agree it was way too convenient that out of nowhere a train was just setting out somewhere else.
It wasn't coincidence, this definitely has to do with the "story" of this trial.
However, to our dismay, annoying fucking alien bugs with equal stats to mine blocked us from everywhere.
And I've had enough of their shit.
I really planned to use my new sword against a mighty opponent like Pandemonium but... Fuck it, I'm using Celestia!
"[Divine Celestial Venerable Swordsmanship]: [Celestial Horizon Cleave]!"
As I activated her Abilities, I swung Celestia horizontally with all my strength, as a giant slash of pure white and silver light was released at once, as huge as a kilometer, it reached the insectoids and then...
SLAAAASH!
It slashed right through them! Yes, it worked! Skin, flesh, exoskeleton, everything. What seemed like they were so tough and indestructible, simply became nothing but butter against Celestia's hot knife.
Although they might have similar stats, my power is still superior with my equipment, something the trial didn't account for at all, and I am sure that it was what Andromeda intended as well.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Hundreds of these critters died at once, when they were slashed apart, they exploded on explosions of White Light of Order, which damaged surrounding bugs.
However, the bastards swarming the rest of my body had yet to die! And not only did it fucking hurt, but it was horrendous.
It's as if a hundred mosquitoes were all over my body, biting and draining me out of my blood!
I know I'm tasty, but you can't just eat me like I'm your damn buffet!
"Kids, take care of these!"
"Alright dad!"
"Okay."
"Graaawwrrr!"
The train was about to leave, I'll have to leave the rear to my kids while I slash the front! There was literally no more time anyways. We had to do this, or we were all screwed and we would have to find another way to leave this horrible place.
"{Heavenly Sun}!"
Benladra was the first to engage, summoning thousands of spheres of concentrated divine light at the insects, blowing them away one after another, accumulating damage as she spammed them as much as possible.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
"{Spirit Silver Frost Jewel}: {Silver Thunderstorm}"
At the same time, Kate harnessed the powers within her silver jewels, giant storms of silver thunder emerged out of her entire body, the electromagnetic energies that she could control to combine robots had become her elemental power too.
TRUUUM! TRUUUM! TRUUUM!
"Graaawwrrr! Fwight! Dwie!"
Drakda in the other case, roared angrily like the little dragon he was, pointing his hands upwards as tremendous masses of crimson blood and black void materialized out of nowhere. Those were his elements, right!
The masses of blood and void combined together into massive cannons of black and red light, engulfing the insectoids on huge explosions. A few dozen died as they were grinded to pieces, the rest survived, wounded.
BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM!
"SHYAAAAGHHH!"
However, more and more insectoids continued crawling through my body. The only reason I didn't activate the armor was due to my stingy nature, but I quickly decided to do it.
"[Ascendancy Law of System]: [Divinity Core]: {Holy Abyssal Dungeon Armor}!"
FLUOSH!
An armor of black and gold covered my entire body, the insectoid aliens were sent flying, ejected from my body, but quickly crawling over it again! Their jaws carried tremendous power, but my armor could negate all damage as long as they couldn't distort space.
Therefore, they couldn't damage me anymore, and they were furious! Their attacks against my family on top of my back intensified.
However, my family were no pushovers.
Benladra swung her glistening golden spear, unleashing a deadly barrage of piercing attacks, the accumulated damage of her spells, domain, and her physical blows began grinding through the bodies of many scavengers.
At the same time, Kate summoned machines through her Domain with much ease, quickly combining them together and letting them absorb the corpses of some of the scavengers, evolving into mechanized forms of those, stronger and mightier, they clashed against them. With more durability, they were able to resist blows better although they were still overwhelmed and torn piece by piece. So Kate decided to combine them even further,
creating...
Massive arms!
"{Mechanical God Arms}!"
The massive arms, attached to her own Divinity Aura, swung down, up, forward, backward, to the left and right, so strong, massive, and heavy that all the scavengers were being constantly walloped with tremendous force, sent thousands of meters away with each blow.
BAAM! BAAM! BAAM! BAAM!
"Raaawwwrrr!"
Meanwhile, Drakda kept using his same spell from before, but then as he noticed they were tanking them, he began to divide his blood and void magic as he combined it into many "branches" that interconnected with many foes, dealing constant damage!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
As this happened, Benladann and Miranda continued slashing the scavengers or absorbing them through their domain or Miranda, empowering themselves.
Anything Miranda ate and absorbed would also become part of Benladann's power, so they were gaining a lot of temporary strength, even more with Umbra's Enhancement Effects affecting them as well.
Meanwhile, I was slashing, cleaving, and more importantly, raining down judgement upon these foolish creatures!
"[Divine Celestial Venerable Swordsmanship]: [Divine Justice Blade Spirit Summon]!"
Hundreds of giant white and silver colored swords shining with the brightness of Order and Justice materialized around me, as I used them to grind and cleave my way through the
endless swarm!
SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!
However, more, and more, and more, and more kept coming!
Agh, this is fucking endless!
"RAAAAAHHHH!"
With a furious roar, I activated Venerable's Enlightenment, as both of my Living Domains responded, Storm unleashed giant tornadoes of emerald winds and Nebula thousands of massive spheres of light, darkness, void, flames, and ice.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
"Come on...!"
BBZZZTTTT!
I kept "swimming" through the endless swarm as we all gave our all to fight, I even summoned all my Spirits at once, as they cooperated with us.
"Come on, dammit!"
BBZZZTTT...!
And then...
As if emerging from an endless sea of horror, I saw the empty, clear sky.
"Aahh!"
And a city right below me.
