Chapter 876 - A Two-sided Battle (3)
The situation isn’t looking great.
Rhode held his sword and knitted his brows at this scene. The pitch-black and silver flames interwove to form a defense barrier around him. However, this was far from enough because they began feeling tremendous pressure after the centipede split into thousands of smaller centipedes. Each of the meter-long creatures was built with four metallic limbs and their both ends had creepy, sharp mouth parts. Although everyone’s attacks could effectively eliminate them, the creatures would instantly regenerate and increase in numbers.
“This is getting tough.”
Rhode mumbled under his breath. At this moment, Celestina scoffed and brandished her pitch-black chain sword, slicing into half one of the creatures that pounced on her. Then, the dark flames surged on the wounds and the creature squirmed on the ground. But shortly after, two metallic limbs grew from its severed wounds and it stood up once again.
It was like a splitting cell. One turned into two and two turned into four. It was completely endless.
Nothing good would come out of this if this continued. As a player, Rhode instinctively realized this danger. He knew that the original BOSS in this area had the powerful ability to regenerate and it was apparent that this centipede had also inherited this ability. Although Celestina’s and Celia’s flames could deal a certain amount of damage to them, the damage wasn’t lethal enough. Besides… Rhode lifted his head and looked at the young lady who was swinging her sword like the Grim Reaper.
“Ahahahahah!”
All Shira did was let out crazy laughter, mercilessly slashing the ground to bring down the enemies, slowing their rate of regeneration. She was just immersed in the thrill of slaughtering like a drug addict. She greedily soaked in the enjoyment and didn’t care about the consequences of her actions.
———!
The brilliance blasted and twisted the night sky, engulfing the creatures that were as small as ants. Then, an enormous whirlpool appeared in the punctured ground with radiances from lightning and flame merging together. The sharp sound of wind reached its peak as though signifying the start and end of the destruction.
“Phew…”
Rhode heaved an exhausted sigh. All his spiritual powers were drained from maintaining the five holy sword spirits, venue card, and the magic cannon blast. At this moment, the holy sword spirits were slowly becoming fuzzy as he lacked the spiritual powers to maintain their presence. At the same time the magic cannons blasted, he held onto the Illusion Crystal in his pocket and an endless source of spiritual powers flowed into his body to restore his strength. But this wasn’t enough. No matter how pure the spiritual powers were, they still weren’t from him, after all. But he couldn’t care too much about it because this wasn’t the end yet.
The whirlpool stopped.
Indistinct clamors could be heard from the center of the whirlpool which resembled the mumbles of a mentally disordered person in their sleep. Shortly after, the clamors turned into deep roars while the ground and grass rose skyward.
A massive creature burst out of the ground, widening its eyes at the tiny creatures beneath. The creature wasn’t too different from the centipede. But the disgusting tentacles all around it were nowhere to be seen. Instead, what replaced them were strong arms. The powerful creature lifted its body off the ground and the reflections from the bloody flesh and metal were revolting. It looked like a huge tree that enveloped its prey with its shadow.
Rhode stared blankly at this scene.
