Chapter 988 The Fall
The huge metal asteroid about 200 meters in diameter hovering two miles in the sky above the base quickly took the attention of everyone on the ground, survivors and acolytes alike. All of them showed a myriad of emotions ranging from fear to anger, but mostly the former which took hold of the majority of the survivors.
The creature appears trying to raise it higher in hope to create an even stronger momentum when it falls.
Thinking about the amount of destruction that metal asteroids were capable of, Emery quickly became anxious. He could certainly dodge it, but he was unable to do so because if that massive chunk of metal did fall, most of the survivors would surely die from the head-on collision.
Without time to cast any spells, Emery gathered the strength he had and stomped on the ground. His figure shot into the air, streaking towards the center of the descending asteroid at an unprecedented speed.
BAMMM!!!
He crashed straight into the asteroid with his body, causing the asteroid's falling speed to slow down slightly. The impact caused numerous cracks all over his plant armor, but he couldn't care less about that now.
With his two arms placed on the surface of the asteroid, Emery mustered up his strength and tried to push back. But as suspected, the asteroid was simply too heavy for him. Yet, he didn't give up.
"Urrggghhh!!"
Emery's efforts managed to slow down the asteroid's descent, but he didn't have the ability to break or push it away like its predecessor. The material the Nephilim used to build their base wall was chosen because of its sturdiness, and now that strong point was biting them in the back.
He thought about teleporting the huge block away like what he did with the mass teleportation, however, he quickly found out teleporting a moving object was a different matter altogether.
A flaming dark figure suddenly appeared next to him and quickly slammed a large flaming sword at the falling metal asteroid,
BAMMM—!!
The figure that lent a hand was the Dragon bloodline Zach Talon. He had apparently finished killing the stage 6 Abyss creature Terror Centipede he was in charge of. His appearance brought some relief to Emery, as he was the strongest acolyte that he knew of.
Realizing that his attack was still not enough, Zach put his sword on his back before bringing his draconic arms together. With his palms resting on the asteroid, a radiant rune circle appeared and he unleashed the spell.
[Nova Flare]
A fiery flame materialized, spreading from his finger and rapidly seeping into the interior of the metal asteroid. It gradually became softer under the refinement of the flames and hairline cracks appeared all over its surface.
The spell, however, had consumed all the spirit power of the Dragon as he looked toward Emery and said "Finish it!"
Not wanting to waste the opportunity given, Emery quickly mustered all the strength his body had and unleashed a barrage of punches, relentlessly hitting the asteroid with the full might of his 600 battle power.
BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM!—!
The cracks gradually got bigger and wider under Emery's relentless assault, until eventually, the asteroid broke apart into dozens of pieces of different sizes.
He succeeded – thanks to Zach's actions, but things weren't done yet. The biggest concern of a massive asteroid obliterating everything upon landing was nothing more, but the chunks of metal from the asteroid's destruction could still pose serious repercussions for the survivors who were no stronger than normal humans.
More than 50 glowing golden artifacts – owned by none other than Eeshoo Nephilim – shot through the air, towards the dozens of asteroid shards. The Nephilim genius was seen to grow his fifth wing making his artifact capable of brokes all the smaller metal objects into pieces. As for the last big one, He aims and shot with his special arrow.
BAAAMMM!
Right behind him were two figures, Gerri and Klea. The two sent forth their respective spells, violet flames and purple lightning streaking side by side as they further destroyed the asteroid shards into smithereens.
At a glance, Emery could see how Klea was doing. She was at the end of her stamina, as evidenced by her pale face.
Their eyes met, and a certain determination welled up within Emery.
Unwilling to let the Abyss creature threaten and harm his friends again, Emery decided to take more risks in order to end all this quickly. He rushed straight towards the Abyss being.
This made the Egyptian Queen's expression change. She was trying to shout at him but no words seems to come out of her mouth. She could only watch in helplessness as Emery drew closer and closer to the abomination.
The Abyss creature was overjoyed to see that Emery decided to shoot straight at it. Immediately, the limbs on its back moved and shot forward like a squadron of spears, intent on killing the approaching figure.
Much to its surprise, Emery had no intention of avoiding the attacks. He let three of the scythe limbs penetrate his body, only making sure they didn't hit his vital organs.
Blood spurted out from the pierced body part, yet Emery still didn't stop. The scythe limbs of the Abyss creature were still stuck on his body, but he kept going as if they didn't exist at all. He only focused his efforts on getting closer.
Dodging the huge pincer coming for his head, with a single thrust, Emery finally managed to land both of his arms – a total of six sharp claws plunged deep into the Abyss creature's chest, right next to the golden orb.
"AAARRRGGGHHH!!!"
Emery used his [Spirit Devour] to further hurt the Abyss creature and weaken it, while in return the latter's huge pincers hit his head and shoulder continuously in a struggle to get him to let go.
BAM! BAM! BAM!
Blood continued to drip and wounds continued to pile up as the Abyss creature's scythe limbs fiercely stabbed Emery's body, causing an indescribable amount of pain to engulf him. In fact, the onslaught had gone to such a degree that even the latter's [Undecaying Flesh] couldn't regenerate his body fast enough.
Fortunately, the spirit being gave him enough spirit energy to keep him conscious. Now, Emery just had to make sure his claws went deeper and grabbed hold of the Abyss creature more tightly.
It was a brutal way of fighting, which should not be used except as a last resort. However, this was the fastest method he could think of to end the Abyss creature. Therefore he continued to endure, making sure [Spirit Devour] devoured as much spirit power as it could find through his claws.
[Spirit force increased]
[Spirit force increased]
The energy of the Abyss creature continued being sucked in in such a large amount by Emery's claws when suddenly a reaction occurred with the two golden orbs – the Abyss creature and Emery's.
This led to another unexpected development. The plant creature on Emery's body instantly spread towards the Abyss creature, enveloping both of them into a massive thick ball, a sphere of plants just right before the two fell to the ground, crushing, rolling over, and killing many Abyss creatures on their way.
Throughout the journey where he was flipped and overturned, the creature still tried its best to break free but Emery did not let go. He continued to use his [Spirit Devour] on it, and with it the sphere only became even more sturdy and unbreakable by the creature.
[Spirit force increased]
[Spirit force increased]
Emery could tell that he was absorbing the Abyss creature's energy until it reached the brink of death. Just as the creature was about to be completely emptied and died, the Primordial Wisp was ready to trigger [Rebirth] to revive the creature once again.
However, at this moment, the spirit being residing in Emery's body quickly took over by taking advantage of the slight window of weakness that appeared. The first thing it did after that was to remove the golden orb from the Abyss creature's body.
SHRIIEEKKK!!
Emery heard the Abyss creature's last death throe, which certainly makes all the pain worth it.
A moment after he heard another voice besides the spirit beings.
It was the intent of the Primordial Wisp.
Strangely after, Emery was able to sense many life forces, millions of them, around him. It took him a second before he realized that those were the life forces of the Abyss creatures he was detecting.
With a simple intent, the millions of Abyss creatures stopped what they were doing and turned around, leaving the battlefield. The sight brought confusion to the acolytes who had previously just been fighting for their lives, but quickly joy swept over them.
"They are leaving!! It's over!! It's finally over!!"
Countless cheers and screams could be heard from the center of the base. Emery, however, was still inside the sphere with the corpse of the Abyss creature beside him, waiting for Primordial Wisp's intent.
