Chapter 53 - Interminable Energy

The air around me trembled from the amount of skills that continued to rush down towards the retreating beast. Dark spears filled the air and arcs of lightning were dancing about, just waiting to jump on the figure of the grotesque mosquito the moment it faltered

It's injuries increased as more and more attacks were able to land, and it screamed indignantly before stopping its retreat and coming towards me, its body emanating a dangerous light. Good, come!

I accounted for many possibilities as I continued to cast [Spear of Destiny] and [Arc Lightning] towards the beast. The moment the impact was about to occur, I activated [Instant Transfer] and disappeared from its sight, materializing right behind it where I released multiple [Frigid Impermanence] casts

BOOM! BOOM!

The impact rocked the skies as I continued to cast more skills towards the insect. Not a second was given though, as I felt the full impact of the poisonous green light smash into me, dying my entire body a dark shade of green as blisters began to form on my skin. The turtle had aimed for the moment I let out killer blows against the insect to throw its poisonous attacks

My rapidly decaying skin started to become normal again as [Guardian's Light] and [Ultra Regeneration] were activated multiple times.

I continued to dodge the remaining incoming pillars of poison as I looked at the body of the insect. Only a thin exoskeleton was left, but it was still hanging on!

I let out a furious howl at this immense vitality of the beast and rained more dark spears down on it. The spears rushed into the emaciated figure and stabbed in every possible position, turning the insect into a porcupine.

I finished it all off with a [Frigid Impermanence] that blasted apart any muscle or bones still holding its body together, causing an explosion of [Core]s and a golden glowing [Skill Book] to appear in the skies.

The cores quickly disappeared into one of my storage rings as I grabbed the skill book and brought it to my chest. The attacks from below had increased in frequency and took all of my attention in order not to get blasted again.

The skill book whose name I couldn't even get a chance to read transformed into particles of light that flew inside my body, something new appearing among the skills in the panel

ROAAR!!!

The huge beast below was fully enraged after seeing the death of its compatriot and let out a thundering roar that stopped the movements of the many beasts in the battle field.

The beasts, whether grounded or on the skies, all turned their eyes in my location with heavy bloodl.u.s.t apparent. The flying beasts abandoned any hunters they were fighting against and swooped towards me in the skies

Some hunters got a brief respite and looked at my figure worryingly, but could not even get near me unless they wanted to be blasted to death by the neverending pillars of green light still flying toward me.

I could see an injured black eagle heading towards my direction that I sternly shook my head to. I had countless spells I could continue casting and was nowhere close to being done. The addition of a few hundred beasts around me would only delay the death of this remaining t.i.tAN

I looked to the enormous green turtle in the distance while evading the attacks it sent my way and used [Instant Transfer] to a position right above it. The transfer gave me a few seconds where I checked my panel to see what the new skill entailed

[Volcanic Eruption], S rank...I looked at the details of the terrifying skill as my heart palpitated at the thought of it. My figure evaded the venomous blasts that had found my position once more as I looked at the beast below me.

Its large figure soon absconded my sight as crowds of flying beasts neared me. I looked to the darkening skies of the beasts as a devilish smile couldn't help but appear on my face, you all are f.u.c.k.i.e.d.

A worrying scene was carrying itself out in the eyes of Elizabeth. A single man was moving through the skies dodging dangerous blasts of green light while thousands of beasts flocked towards him

White wings of light were outstretched from his back as he stood in the air, the picture imprinting itself on the minds of all the people here for years to come.

An eccentric painter could spend a lifetime making a piece of art that wouldn't be able to describe what they were seeing

The picture of the converging beasts in the air and the noxious turtle blasting attacks from the ground was coming to a stand still as the man rose his hands and winds of erratic energy began to leak out

The whole world seemed like it was shaking as a gruttal voice rang out of the battlefield

"VOLCANIC ERUPTION!!!"

It felt like the skies had shattered, and a thundering sound boomed out as a transparent outline of a large mountain appeared in the skies. The peak of the mountain that should have been pointing up was facing down towards the beasts below, thick smoke coming out of it as it began to rumble and shake the air around it

Childish laughter rang out from Noah as the rumbling heightened, and a wondrous eruption occurred!

BOOOOM!

As if the end of the world was here, the translucent mountain in the sky spit out volleys of apocalyptic magma and flames. The rupture lets out molten ma.s.ses of earth that spread out to cover all the beasts surrounding Noah. If the magma did not melt them away, hot ga.s.ses and ferocious flames jumped out to grab their lives

Elizabeth stood atop her eagle with her mouth wide open as she watched this scene. All the winged beasts that were anywhere near Noah when he casted the skill below him were decimated. The overflowing magma spiraled down from the sky and washed over the beasts on the ground below, wails and shrieks ringing out as if a scene from h.e.l.l was playing itself out

The humongous turtle's sh.e.l.l s.h.i.+ned a dense green light as the molten rocks and extremely scorching ga.s.ses and flames reached it. Its large head and limbs quickly retracted into its body as the attack thundered down

BOOM!

The green blinding light pervaded the surroundings as the beast withstood the skill with its extreme defenses, but great damage could be seen on its bubbling hard sh.e.l.l as the scene calmed down. It roared indignantly in the air as its limbs and head flailed out, having taken a pink color after being subjugated to the thermogenic earth and flames

The area around it was completely laid to waste with no other beast but it left standing. The hunters that were fighting for their lives looked at this scene in stupefaction. The beasts they were fighting against trembled in fear as they saw droves of others like them wiped out in a blink. No words could be said as silence reigned supreme in the battle field
