BXBX NOVEL Chapter 998: Elena's Might
As Elayne said, the altar she attacked crumbled down into pieces. Everyone else kept charging forwards. The Cultists panicked as the Altars were being destroyed.
The looming shadow above them, which had been growing weaker, was now growing restless. Both the cultists and Elayne\'s party could feel it.
The monstrous being within the depths of the world was trying to manifest himself. Demonic Flames, Miasmic Flames, and Phantasmal Flames all emerged from the pit.
The looming shadow slowly began to take upon a partially formed appearance, it was already trying to manifest itself, even if weakened!
"OOOHHHH!"
As it groaned in a furious and monstrous, primal rage, the ground kept trembling. The flames spread everywhere, as the ground kept shaking rapidly. The monster was trying to manifest itself!
An enormous, over three-hundred-meter large hand made of flames slowly descended towards Elayne and her party. She detected the being was still ethereal, but it was rapidly manifesting itself.
"Dammit!"
Elayne gathered her energies, as she combined her spiritual powers and magic together, forming a gigantic blade of light out of her Celestial Energy and her own barrier, which she shaped in such a form through the Divine Protection of Titania\'s special effect.
CLAAASH!
The blade resisted the enormous hand, as she gritted her teeth, quickly beginning to push forwards. The two titans were holding against one another!
However, Elayne quickly realized something.
"I can\'t kill it?!"
Despite her sword dealing tremendous damage, the flames never ended coming. What she was fighting was merely a part of his power, not even his soul nor his body.
"Everyone, destroy the altars, before it is too late! Quickly!"
As she commanded, everyone started moving even faster. Her Domain and Terrain continued expanding rapidly as Elayne kept using her energies endlessly. Even her Ki, which she had been cultivating over time, was now flowing across her body faster than before.
Elena led her party, slashing the Cultists with her double katana techniques. Slashing waves of void and darkness came from her blades, cutting through her foes one after another.
SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!
"These bastards…! Move away already!"
"Stop her at all costs!"
"She\'s the strongest, kill her!"
"Not a single step!"
Five cultists rushed in front of her, their bodies mutating as they absorbed large quantities of Demonite, attacking Elena with a myriad of attacks. Her giant Susanoo Manifestation Aura clashed against them and protected her from most of their basic attacks.
But because they were so huge, and five at that, she was having difficulties breaking through. And time was tickling! Her mother was fighting an unfathomable being all on her own, and those damned Altars were the only way to stop it.
"Bastards, why don\'t you mess with someone your size?!"
"Fire at will!"
Suddenly, the voices of two of Elena\'s friends echoed from above, as they finally caught up with her. Elisa and Anna appeared. Anna\'s summons unleashed their attacks, a gigantic phoenix unleashed a bombardment of explosive flame attacks. A massive green wolf released a storm of emerald winds. And a gigantic stone golem descended, smashing the head of one of the apostles.
At the same time, Elisa transformed. Channeling her draconic powers to her fullest extent, she unleashed her newest Fusion Skill, becoming a thirty-meter-big golden dragon, rushing down and using her sheer physical might to push down two more cultists.
"Now!"
"Go!"
As they roared, Elena smiled. Boosting her strength and agility using her skills and auras, she pushed through the swarm of monsters in between the cultists, swinging her two katanas against the incoming arms the other cultists that were not affected sent at her.
However…
"MOVE!"
With a furious roar, she activated her Magic Circle Spell {Blue Oni\'s Wrath}, suddenly gaining a further boost to all her physical strength even with her already powerful Avatar.
Then, she activated {Lesser Sword Ki Aura}, and unleashed her powerful Phantasmal Aura, now transformed into a dozen giant and sharp swords.
SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!
As she did that, she spun in midair, cutting through the arms of the cultists and shredding them into pieces. Next, her own katanas released waves of phantasmal and darkness energies.
"{Soul Eating Blade}"
The Darkness and Phantom Auras transformed into aberrant and furious oni, opening their giant jaws and beginning to bite and gnaw at the cultists, digging through their flesh and beginning to devour their souls.
"Uuuaaggh!"
"Graaarrgh!"
While screaming in agony and having their souls slowly eaten, Elena reached the Altar at long last, her body quickly gaining a set of red tattoos across her body resembling flames. This was yet another of her spells, {Red Oni\'s Physical Enhancement Red Tattoos}. All her skills were already activated anyways, yet she needed even more power than that!
"{Abyssal Void Blade Fourth Forn}: {Thousand-fold Void Blade}!"
SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!
Elena\'s two katanas unleashed just two attacks, yet once they hit the barriers of the Altar, the barrier and the altar were all cut a thousand times in a split second, exploding into pieces of stone and collapsing completely.
RUMBLE!
The Demon King\'s manifestation started growing weaker, yet his blazing rage only became grander! His giant hand was finally cut through by Elayne\'s enormous golden sword, an explosion of light reaching the giant of flames.
BOOOM!
For a moment, everyone saw how it was now missing half of its body… Only for the flames to quickly take over and regenerate the wounds instantly. Nobody saw an HP Bar either, this thing wasn\'t alive or anything, it was simple a mass of pure power.
"RAAAAH!"
With a furious roar, it grew several more hands, which started aimlessly hitting the ground surrounding the pit, setting everything ablaze. Elayne\'s Domain and Terrain were slowly being eaten away, only for the powers of the Great Spirit, Yggdrasil, and Titania to boost her strength enough to fight back.
"Our lord\'s wrath knows no bounds!"
"You will be punished for the terrible sins you\'ve dared commit against him!"
"He had been wronged by the gods, betrayed! And he will have his revenge!"
The cultists kept screaming delusional words, clashing against Elayne\'s party.
With three more altars to go, things were only getting more desperate.
