Sounds of flapping and loud shrieks rang out in the air as tens of thousands of flying Abyss creatures consisting of stage 2 Flyers and stage 4 Reavers filled the sky around the golden Royal Centipede.

From atop the base wall, the scene was like a congregation of dark clouds, so massive that it completely blocked the ray of the burning sun, Eeshoo who was surrounded by countless Abyss creatures.

However, despite seeing such a threatening circumstance, the six figures that were observing the situation simply continued their observations and didn't seem to be taking any action at all.

"Just stand ready," Jinkan said in a low tone, while her gaze was fixed on her partner, worried about his safety.

Meanwhile, Eeshoo was busy maneuvering his way through the crowds of Abyss creatures, using the extraordinary mobility afforded by the four pairs of angel wings on his back to the utmost limit.

At the same time, he also maintained control of the 32 Soaring Shuttle artifacts in his possession, keeping them in a circular motion around him and ripping all the Abyss creatures into shreds if they got in his way.

Whuussssss

Like an apex predator in a serene savanna, Eeshoo's figure streaked all over the place with nothing able to stop him. No more than a few seconds were spent in one area, as he went on a massacre and relentlessly killed the surrounding Abyss creatures.

While doing all that, he was still able to cast his powerful spell [Sunbeam] at the golden Royal Centipede. A dazzling beam of light shot toward the towering creature, decimating all the Abyss creatures unlucky enough to be in its path to dust.

Each time the beam landed on the Royal Centipede's body, it scorched and cracked the scales apart causing the creature to let out an ear-splitting scream of pain.

The six people who were watching the ongoing battle from the start were blown away by the sight of one person who was able to keep such a terrifying 7-stage Abyss creature busy for several minutes. And if that wasn't impressive enough, he did it while surrounded and attacked by thousands of Abyss creatures.

But in the end, the man's rampage was stopped as he was completely surrounded with no way out in any direction. Even so, Eeshoo's face did not change one bit, as if the golden Royal Centipede and the crowd of Abyss creatures before him did not pose a single threat to him.

Still as calm as ever, Eeshoo brought his hands together in front of his chest, and when he let go, a small glowing orb appeared between them. The orb rapidly expanded with each passing moment, until finally, it suddenly contracted and blasted into the sky.

[Blazing Sun]

Right after the explosion, came a violent surge of heatwave that was so destructive that it instantly incinerated anything it touched. In an instant, all the Abyss creatures that were in the sky within a half mile radius disappeared as if they didn't exist in the first place.

The [Blazing Sun] spell was so powerful that it instantly got rid of the mass of Abyss creatures that surrounded Eeshoo. However, such a spell was not one without drawbacks.

Right after he unleashed the spell, a wave of exhaustion and weakness swept over Eeshoo, causing him to be unable to move for a second. It was also at this exact moment that the golden Royal Centipede took action.

It managed to get close to Eeshoo and had him in its sight. Its body swiftly shot forward, trying to maul the latter's body with its large, razor-sharp pincers.

The pincers were getting closer and closer to Eeshoo's body, and if it landed he would no doubt be split into several pieces. But fortunately, at the last possible moment, Eeshoo was still able to cast a spell on himself.

[Bright Shield]

A golden, mirror-like shield was created in front of him, and in the next instant, the Royal Centipede's pincers struck Eeshoo.

BAAAAMMMM!!!!!

The shield immediately shattered and Eeshoo was flung back several meters. However, the Abyss creature hadn't finished attacking Eeshoo yet, as what followed right after was dozens of long, scythe-like arms coming at breakneck speed from all directions.

Eeshoo was in grave danger. He knew that another attack would come after the first one, and thus he was ready to dodge. Unfortunately, the fatigue because of casting the [Blazing Sun] still affected him and slowed his reaction speed.

Just when he thought he would end up getting hurt however, the creature suddenly stopped in its tracks.

Half a mile away, a figure flew with two fingers placed on its forehead, partially covering an open eye that emitted a blue glow.

[Eye of Mistra]

The psyche attack coming from Arcana's third eye proved capable of stopping the Abyss creature's movements for a few seconds. It was more than enough time for Eeshoo's condition to recover and allow him to get away from the attack.

An annoyed expression could be seen on his face, but Eeshoo still gave a grateful nod to the kid-looking acolyte for the help he gave.

A few seconds later, the [Eye of Mistra] Arcana seemed to no longer have any effect as the golden Royal Centipede broke free from the spell and let out a high-pitched shriek in anger. Even so, the kid-looking acolyte still tried his best to contain the creature with his skill.

Knowing that Arcana's strength alone was not enough, at the same time, a dark-skinned man had arrived near the stage 7 Abyss creature. An emblem emitting waves of profound earth spirit energy could be seen on his hand.

In the next second, the man clenched his fists to break the artifact, and using his blood, he immediately set up a rune formation on the ground while chanting a spell incantation. A surging energy waves emitted continued to strengthen until it finally reached a peak.

[Pillars of the Stone God]

Immediately after, the ground around Royal Centipede suddenly shook and from within appeared 10 huge stone pillars that soared past the towering creature itself. The stone pillars fused with each other on top of the Abyss creature, and then quickly entangled its body and restrained it.

"NOW!!!"

The shout came from a girl standing on top of the wall. Right next to her, surprisingly stood a large 3-meter long crossbow that had been armed with a 4-meter-long metal arrow. At the moment, the bowstring had been drawn to its maximum by the Titan bloodline holder, Sigurd.

Another young man who had traits of Asian descent was busy making the final adjustments to the crossbow using his special skill [Eye of the Raven]. The adjustments were quickly completed and he immediately said, "Shoot!"

The drawn bowstring was released, and the huge arrow immediately shot out swiftly like lightning, heading straight for the stage 7 Abyss creature, towards a certain spot in the center of its body.

Thanks to the [Eye of the Raven], the group learnt of the stage 7 Abyss creature's weak point. Its heart. The arrow was aimed right at it, and with how the creature was being restrained, it could only watch helplessly as its heart was pierced by the arrow.

CRACK!!!

A powerful shot of a combined effort between a Tier 5 artifact Giant Crossbow owned by Jinkan, enabled by Sigurd's strength in the direction following Chumo's skill that saw through the Abyss creature's weakness.

The shot managed to severely injure Royal Centipede as its body swiftly fell to the ground, accidentally killing hundreds of Abyss creatures on the ground. It then squirmed for a while before finally lying still, motionless.

"H-hah! We did it!", shouted Arcana as he looked at the dead body of the Abyss creature.

Everyone was still stunned because what had just happened was a bit unbelievable to them. They still couldn't believe that they managed to bring such monstrosity down with their own hands.

Their admiration for the Nephilim girl also grew, as she had only met and seen the power of the Abyss creature on the Sacred Mountain, but she was able to quickly find the best method to kill it using a combination of just a few people.

However, contrary to expectations, Jinkan had yet to celebrate. She was still in a state of alert because she knew it wasn't over yet. Unless they managed to get the golden orb in the body of the Abyss creature, it wasn't over yet.

Abrafo, who was closest to the body of the Abyss creature, was assigned to retrieve it. However, just as his hand reached the orb, Commander Raynor's corpse that was in the creature's body suddenly opened its eyes. The next moment, a shining glow enveloped the creature's body and powerful energy emerge once again bringing life to the dead creature

[Rebirth]

The Abyss creature once again awakened, and the first thing it did was crush the man standing close to it with its massive body.

BAAMMMM!!!!
