Chapter 365: Deathfull Skulls vs Armored Core (2)

Coming into being from the mist with flaring dark green eyes. the death knight swung his sword toward the armored core.

But before the sword could reach the core, physical lights appeared and pierced the death knight's arm, preventing it from moving.

"I have seen what you are capable of, Intruder." The armored core said as she turned around and pointed its palm toward Danzel.

The light constructs showed cracks, but before Danzel could break through the light constructs, the spell of the armored core had finished.

He raised his hand towards his front the moment the spell came flying towards him.

"[Storming Gale]."

And in one instance, a huge gale push appeared like an air cannon being shot. It was so strong that it send Danzel flying.

"Dammit!" Danzel cursed as he used all his strength in his legs to stop himself from being pushed back while also digging his sword into the pillar's ground.

Alas, he wasn't able to stop himself before he met the edge, throwing off the pillar, making him free fall once more towards the ground. He even tried to use [Phantom Phase], but even his mist was pushed back.

The armored core watched how the undead fell off the pillar, before turning his attention back to the disaster-level intruder.

But before it could, Vannesa came in front of its sight with chaotic flames surrounding her black bandage like a second layer of armor.

She raised her leg and performed an axe kick toward the armored core. It managed to jump a step back and avoid her attack, but the sheer axe kick Vanessa held such force that it traveled through the whole pillar, creating large cracks and destroying the pillar. Not only that, but from those cracks, the chaos flames spread like poison.

Engulfing all pieces of the pillar with black flames.

Naturally, with the loss of footing, the armored core started falling inside those very pieces.

The armored core didn't care about touching those flames though, instead, it searched for Vanessa who was coming towards it using the broken pieces as footing to move.

"[Ray of Obliteration]." The armored cast creates a much more destructive laser than the donut-head spider golem.

The laser disintegrates both the black flames and the stone pieces of the pillar.

"Hmpf!" Vanessa scoffed as he kicked her footing and dodged the laser of the core.

After landing into another broken piece, she did the same again, moving around the armored core at a speed that even the armored core couldn't keep track of her.

And once Vanessa stopped, the armored core turned around at pointed his hand toward her.

But before it could release his spell, Vanessa was already in front of it.

She kicked the stomach of the armored core, releasing black flames on its body.

"Pass!" She yelled, sending the armored core flying towards the air while breaking through the pillar's stone.

Once in the air, another shadow fell upon the armored core. A huge one at that too,

"Catch!" Sartan yelled as he held his halbert with both hands

The bloody aura surrounded his whole body and halbert before swinging the halbert down towards the armored core.

The mana barrier that it conjured around its body instantly broke upon the impact of the halbert, resulting in being shot down towards the ground.

*Greeagh!!

A huge crater with an armored core being on the middle became the ground with the shock wave being strong enough to raise the ground around the crater.

In the middle of all this, was a wracked-up armor that was wrecked in all sorts of ways, though even then, the armor still raised its arm and gathered mana.

In the next moment balls of extreme heat show out of its arm toward Sartan and Vanessa.

Once one of those balls hit, it created a chain reaction, resulting in the other balls to exploded in flames, filling the above with a sea of flames.

The broken-up armor of the core meanwhile repaired itself as it continued its bombardment.

"Updating memory base, light elemental ineffective at calamity level troll." The core voice said out loud as it pointed its free hand towards Agares running towards it.

"Priority set, Disaster level intruder."

Without an incantation, several light constructs appeared around Agares before shooting toward him.

"Magic is purely an imitation of power." Agares said as he swung his sword and destroyed the light constructs. Those that came behind him were cut down by his mirror images coming out of his body,

"Update memory base, restrain magic ineffective on disaster level intruder."

The armor core then released upon Agares the balls of extreme heat in quick succession.

"True strength comes on those who decide to wield it."

Agares precise and fast reaper sword cut through the attacks of the armored core as if they were butter and before they could even explode in flames, Agares had passed through the range of the explosion.

"Come forth, wielder of daylight, [Greater Light Elemental of Daylight]"

A bright golden magic circle appeared on the ground and once lifted, a new presence of a 4th-tier being arrived in the room.

The light of the room became the vessel to manifest a greater elemental, in the form of a giant golden white knight holding a greatsword in his hands. It wore a crown on its helmet and similar to the undead, its eyes burned with golden flames that were made out of light.

Raising its blade, the greater elemental of light raised its greatsword made glowing in golden light up to its head.

"[Fall upon the Light]." The greater elemental mumbled as it swung its greatsword down, releasing a wave of light cutting through the ground toward Agares

Seeing the wave of light coming towards him, Agares breathed out slowly and stopped moving forward, instead, he took a stance with his reaper sword on the side of his hip.

"Sword of Art of the Reversed Demon~"

As he muttered those words to himself, suddenly out of his forehead pushing his white hair away was a pair of horns bathed in blood and even his Agares eyes changed color towards a crimson color.

"Sen Surasshu Oni."

And Agares swung his sword toward the incoming wave of light.

No.

He and thousands of his mirror images overlapped on top of his body and did the exact action just as he did.

And without creating much of any sound, the floor where the reaper sword was aimed was cut in half. The cut started to expand and cut through the light wave of the greater elemental.

Seeing the incoming silent attack, the greater elemental created a barrier of light, but even its barrier was cut in half, followed next by itself.

Witnessing that, the armored core saw the threat of the incoming silent cut and created a portal to get away. But after only entering halfway through the portal, an ethereal skeleton arm appeared and grabbed the core itself, and started to drag it out.

The core reacted swiftly by using the armor to push the core back inside the armor and succeeding after a struggle of 2 seconds.

But those 2 seconds alone were long enough for the silent cut to meet the armored core body.

*Chiiiiigh!

The barriers of the core struggled while releasing sparks, the ones breaking almost instantly.

In the second round, its armor lasted 1-second max before being cut down, resulting in the armor being cut in two.

Now only its core struggled to survive being cut down by the silent cut of Agares.

The mana core used a more advantageous version of [Mana Shield] which could block any damage by the cost of using one's mana. But the greater the damage, the more mana the spell would eat to stop the attack.

But even then, if the attack was too overwhelming, then even such a spell couldn't hold on.

The core of the tower was like a wheel of mana, created by the highest grade mana crystal and the knowledge of a magic caster who reached the height of the 5th tier.

But no matter the amount of mana a construct had available too.

No barrier in this world could fully block Agares "Sen Surasshu Oni.".

Proving this point, the barrier around the core broke and the silent cut continued digging deeper and soon enough, cutting through the mana crystal.

But before it could go any deeper than a few inches, out of desperation the core made another layer of a barrier inside of its body to stop the silent cut.

Which successfully managed to do.

But no without any damage.

"Need to inform master for maintenance...contact Master of imminent threat of the tower."

The silent cut of Agares cut through the cores portal and because of its armor being cut in half, it took time to repair as it floated and the pieces of the armor started to move back together.

"Failed."

From the front of the core, stood the blood-horned Agares with his reaper sword.

"Failed."

From the cores behind, a dark mist started to come and form a death knight with a sword and shield.

"Failed."

*Borough!

And from both her sides, two figures fell to the ground, one being a female covered with black flames.

"Failed."

And from the other side, a huge high troll wielding a halbert had his skin burned, revealing his flesh. But the High Troll skin regenerates soon enough.

"Failed..."

The auras of four 4th-tier beings surrounded the core.
