Chapter 956: Chapter 733: Sky Bull
"——————————"
In that moment, everyone present, regardless of being friend or foe, froze in place, unable to move.
Maliciously like a storm, the aura raged across the whole area.
A massive shadow, as if covering the sky and blocking the sun, rudely forced its way onto the battlefield.
The ultra-hard metal ground was easily destroyed and accompanied by shock waves, knocking many nearby people off, causing them to scream in agony.
The entire space trembled and wailed, as if facing a natural disaster, shaking everyone’s hearts.
"Ah, ah——"
Then, a beautiful voice sounded.
It was the singing of a divine avatar.
It was the sigh of a magical incarnation.
As if moved by reunion, standing amidst the battlefield, emerging beyond the ground, a fairy (witch) with graceful feminine curves spread her arms and joyfully spoke.
"Alya——Alya——Alya——"
A familiar voice, familiar delight, a familiar name made the blonde girl holding the Sword of Despair’s pupils tremble, her entire body quiver as if in shivers.
Of course, everyone else present wasn’t much better.
No way.
The thing that appeared before their eyes was so savage and unbelievable.
It was a monster embodying both beauty and ugliness.
The monster had the upper body of a beautiful woman, with skin and hair both green, wearing a vividly colored feather coat, a sinister smile on her lovely face, cheerfully singing.
Such a beautiful woman had the genuine monster lower body, not only extremely large, at least six meters tall, with strong four legs and twisted giant bull horns, topped by the upper body of the beautiful woman, the whole body showing a peculiar green-corroded iron color, with a tail splitting in two from the middle, the tips sharp like swords, blending together with the monstrous torso, undoubtedly a giant bull.
The beautiful woman’s upper body and the monster giant bull’s lower body.
Such a distinct image made Rephia lose her color and scream.
"Immortal Spirit Avatar!"
Yes indeed.
The Immortal Spirit Avatar which once appeared on the 59th floor of the underground city, repeatedly defeating the Loki family’s top adventurers, almost wiping out the clan’s leaders, appeared.
Right within this man-made labyrinth Knossos.
"That is...!"
Alcana and Bajie of the Ridton clan paused and held their breath.
"Mon-monster!"
The members of the Loki clan, warriors of the fighting nation, and combat prostitutes of Fengyue Street all screamed.
"Why is that showing up here...!?"
"Damn it! That’s not funny!"
Theona and Theone couldn’t continue their destined duel with their mentor, retreating with cold sweat.
"Ha ha... ha ha ha ha...!"
Only Fulini, injured all over and seemingly on the verge of dying, laughed loudly, joyfully and crazily shouting.
"Good! Great! It finally came out!"
"Perfect timing, crush these people to a pulp!"
"Sky Bull!"
This was precisely the customized Immortal Spirit Avatar cultivated using Treasure Bead Fetus by remnants of the dark faction to gain support from the Istar clan — the "Sky Bull".
They gave this monster to Ishtar to obtain funding from the Istar clan, amassing wealth.
Now, Ishtar has released this monster, placing it onto the battlefield, soon to be ravaged in every way, and loosened the reins controlling it.
Then——
"Alya."
Atop the giant bull, the Polluted Immortal Spirit’s avatar gleefully spoke its wish.
"Become one with me."
Laughing so joyfully, saying such eerie words, the mad bull moved.
"Boom!"
Its hoof stomped heavily, just that was enough to smash the ground, causing a thunderous roar, sweeping raging winds like a tsunami carrying debris and dust in all directions.
"""""Uwaaah ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh——!"""""
All of those present were immediately battered by the ferocious shock wave, without exception, all screaming as they vanished in the dust storm.
Including Ais, Theona, Theone, and Rephia, all of them either screamed or wailed, unable to resist, sent flying like kites losing their strings, crashing onto the walls, and falling to the ground.
Even those who were supposed to be allies like Fulini, Alcana, Bajie, all were blown away, rendering every warrior present equally small at this moment, swept away like ants.
"Ah ah——"
On the head of the mad bull that caused all this, the Polluted Immortal Spirit’s avatar continued to laugh, seemingly satisfied with the disaster it created.
"Alya——Alya——Alya——"
She laughed joyously.
She called out passionately.
Immediately, she drove the monstrous giant body, charging in one direction.
In that direction, the figure of Reiger who had just teleported appeared.
"Reiger!"
"Watch out!"
Rephia, who was lying on the ground, saw this scene and shouted at the same time as Ais, who was struggling to stand nearby.
"[Radiant Green Body]."
Their response came from a calm voice, as a green magical light flickered on Reiger’s body.
"Boom!!!"
In the next second, the giant bull that launched a reckless charge hit Reiger violently, crashing him into the wall behind and shattering the super-hard metal wall once again.
"Reiger!"
"Damn it!"
Theona and Theone shouted angrily, drawing weapons they had not used earlier—one wielding a large double blade, the other gripped a scimitar—and rushed towards the giant bull.
"I won’t let you pass, Theone."
"...Your opponents are us."
Alcana and Bajie, who had just been blown away, simultaneously rushed forward, standing in front of Theona and Theone.
"Get out of the way!"
Theone, furious, swung her scimitar mercilessly at Alcana.
"Don’t block us! Bajie! That is really bad!"
Theona tried to persuade Bajie, but was met only with Bajie’s indifferent punch.
The Amazon twin sisters still couldn’t escape the ritual of the fighting nation, stopped by the bloody female warriors.
It was Ais who was finally unimpeded.
Fulini, covered in wounds, could no longer fight, losing consciousness in the last wave of impact.
"...Take that toad woman with us; we’re retreating."
Aisha, who had been blown away by Reiger’s strike, covered her abdomen, coughing blood, giving orders with an ugly expression, and ultimately retreated to the passage with the combat prostitutes of the Istar Clan, pushing the cage holding Haruka, and fled the battlefield in embarrassment.
Even the female warriors of the fighting nation showed fear, not daring to stir up a struggle on the battlefield where the berserk bull rampaged. The members of the Loki Clan were injured, some unable to even get up; Rephia was the same.
"......!"
In such a situation, Ais rushed out instinctively.
"[Awaken]!"
The golden-haired, golden-eyed female swordsman unleashed the magic that had just been sealed.
This time, perhaps because the seal’s time had passed or the one who applied the curse was absent, Ais successfully cast the magic.
Suddenly, wind wrapped around Ais’s body, with airflow swirling around her.
This phenomenon, this magic, immediately caught the attention of the Polluted Immortal Spirit’s clone.
"Alya!"
Feeling this magic unique to a great spirit, the spirit clone happily shifted its target, focusing on Ais.
Or perhaps, this was always her target.
Because Reiger previously activated [Wind Spirit Swift Walk], the spirit clone was attracted here and immediately launched an attack against Reiger.
Now, Ais also activated [Wind Spirit Swift Walk]. Sensing the magic of the great spirit Alya, the irrational spirit clone naturally shifted its target and attacked Ais.
"[I am the Spear of Thunder’s incarnation—Queen of Thunder]—"
Seeing the female swordsman surrounded by wind approaching her, wielding the Sword of Despair, the spirit clone smiled and began a super-fast chant that made all adventurers on site widen their eyes, causing the magic array to rotate and appear in front of her.
Short chant combined with transcending human wisdom’s super-fast chant, creating godlike techniques that allowed the spirit clone’s magic completion speed to even exceed the flawless slash of Orario’s strongest female swordsman.
"[Lightning Arrow]!"
The thunder attribute attack magic was released, and the thunder erupted from the magic array spinning in front of the giant bull.
Lightning illuminated the dark space, transforming into thick arrows and shot out with a roar.
Though of a different attribute than Rephia’s [Arc-shaped Beam], this magic was quite similar to [Arc-shaped Beam]. Both had limited attack range and power due to being single-cast magic, but in the hands of the magic species of a higher rank than elves, this magic ultimately exerted power comparable to wide-area annihilation magic, akin to Reiger and Rephia’s [Arc-shaped Beam].
Thus, the lightning arrows transformed into lightning spears, electrified into brilliant thunder, plowing the ground, evaporating air, and charged at Ais.
"Dang...!"
Having already swung a slash, Ais couldn’t avoid this strike, her expression changed drastically.
"Swish!"
Just as Ais was about to be engulfed by brilliant thunder, a figure suddenly moved beside her.
"[Magic Disintegration]."
The unscathed young man extended his empty hand to block the rushing brilliant thunder, casting magic.
"Bang!"
The brilliant thunder was immediately invaded by invisible magic power, disintegrating and exploding on the spot.
In the scattered lightning, Reiger maintained the hand-reaching posture, his eyes chillingly cold as he gazed at the "Sky Bull".
