Chapter 1373 Ascension
-----
It felt as if the ancient god Thor had summoned his mighty Divine Thunder, the skies darkened, as lightning sparks emerged, and a second later, dozens of thunder strikes reached Sol at the same time, constantly hitting him!
ZAAAP! ZAAAP! ZAAAP!
CRASH! CRASH! CRAAAASH!
"GRYYYAAAAEERGGHH…!"
With a loud, monstrously agonizing scream, the huge titan made of metal and flames fell to his knees and started vomiting blood and molten metal, his entire body squirming.
"Now, finish him off!" Pekora cried.
"You don't need to say it twice!" Yuki roared.
"Let's do this!" Tisha said.
The two of them leaped towards Sol. Yuki's claws overflowed with as much divine power as possible, while Tisha's frost sword gained the aura of a ferocious dragon!
"RAAAAAHH!"
Sol roared back, standing up while forcefully regenerating his body however he could, his mind already having gone mad, his fists reached the girl's weapons!
CRASH! CRASH! CRASH! CRAAASH!
Yuki and Tisha incessantly continued their attacks. Explosions of slashing light waves sliced through Sol's metallic skin while stabbing, freezing blows opened his hard armor and continued dealing constant damage.
"GROARR!"
A huge fist attack went upwards, hitting Tisha. The ice elf barely managed to defend using her huge sword, but the impact came with an explosive wave of flames, engulfing her body.
BOOOOMMM!!!
Tisha was thrown away, as her body rolled over the floor. Pekora immediately went to heal her while Tisha slowly started to stand up, covered on burns. Her scales were strong but still, she was an Ice Elf, innately weak to fire magic.
"You fuckin shithead!"
Yuki didn't like that at all, her Divine Beast Aura emerged furiously from her body, the roar of the Divine White Tiger echoed ferociously, unleashing a tremendous wave that slightly paralyzed Sol upon hearing it.
"ROOAAARRRGH!"
"URGH…?!"
"[Divine White Tiger Arts]: [Heavenly White Tiger's Claws]!"
Yuki's claws suddenly grew ten times their original size, glowing with bright white light, as she swung them into a cross-shaped wave of destructive divine energy!
CRAAAAAASSSSH!!!
Sol couldn't help but take the hit head on as he had become paralyzed, without even being able to use his arms to defend, the impact hit his chest and head directly!
"GRYYYAAAARRGHH…!"
His gigantic body hit the ground with a loud thud, shaking the floor and generating countless cracks across. His body started bleeding uncontrollably, as divine energy began to leak out, weakening.
"Hahhh… Take that… bitch!" Yuki smiled, looking at the beast on the floor, almost dead.
Almost.
"Yuki, don't lower your guard yet!" Pekora cried from behind her, as Yuki suddenly noticed Sol sitting on the floor, his metallic jaws opening and charging a large quantity of Divine Energy!
"Shit…"
A blast of blazing flames reached her, as Yuki gritted her teeth. Desperately, her Divine Beast Spirit Aura wrapped around her body and defended her from the explosion as well as it could!
BOOOOOOMMMMM!!!
"Ungh… Hahaha… You're one tough bastard…"
Yuki laughed, her entire body almost charred, bleeding uncontrollable, her Divine Energy had been almost completely exhausted.
"GRAAAAHHH…!"
Crack… crack… CRACK…!
The entire body of Sol started shattering uncontrollably, Yuki, Tisha, and Pekora felt a shiver down their spine as they saw a huge hand made of pure white light encompassed on flames emerge from the metallic exterior.
CRAAASH!
"You've pushed me this far… I have to actually thank you, for once. Thanks to your annoying attacks, my armor and my sword have evolved alongside me. We have become one."
The figure of sol emerged once more, the "physical" form of his armor was no longer needed, as he transformed into some sort of ethereal entity, fusing with his armor and weapon's "souls" and ascending.
His figure seemed to have become completely made of celestial sunlight, covered on flames. And there was a heart-shaped red crystal on his chest, perhaps his Divine Core.
"You've gotta be fucking kidding me…" Yuki muttered.
Ding!
[The [Sunlight Hero: Sol] has fully fused with the Souls of his Armor and Sword, ascending into his [Ethereal Celestial Sunlight God] Form!]
[All Stats have further increased by +100%. However, most defensive abilities have been lost in exchange for more power.]
[By merely existing, a powerful [Celestial Burning Light] Aura is created, constantly dealing damage to anybody within 50 meters of the user.]
"Ungh!" Yuki quickly noticed that her entire body started burning, golden flames spread across her fur. "Fuck! What the hell?!"
"It is over!" Laughed Sol. "I have ascended into my true form! Ahhh~ It feels so good! I'll kill you all and then that lizard, and I'll steal his harem for myself! Hahahaha! [Celestial Sunshine Sword Rain]!"
FLASH! FLASH! FLASH! FLASH! FLASH!
Hundreds of swords made of sunlight and fire started raining down over Yuki, Tisha, Pekora, and any other divine beast in the vicinity, huge explosions of light and flames spread across the already ruined landscape. It felt like the punishment of the gods.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOOM!
"Urgh… Hahhh…!" Yuki continued running away from the swords with her swift movements, reaching her friends, only for an intense heat to appear behind her.
"Where are you going, kemonomimi?" Sol appeared behind her with a creepy smile, his flames engulfing Yuki completely! "I'll give you a hug to DIE for! Gyahahahahaha!"
FLUOOOOSH!
"AAARRGGHHHH…!"
Yuki screamed; her entire body was being burned. She felt completely exhausted as well, her powers were not responding to her commands anymore, and her White Tiger Divine Beast was on his limits.
"Hahaha… GYAHAHAHAHA! BURN TO ASHES!"
Sol fell into complete insanity as he laughed manically, without realizing two figures appeared to his left and right, Pekora and Tisha, who had finished healing.
"Leave Yuki alone, you fucking creep!!!" Roared Tisha, her sword channeling all the energies she could. "[Divine Frost Dragon Blade Arts]: [Frost Dragon's Wrath]!"
"[Divine Thunderbolt]!" Pekora roared, unleashing all the lightning she could from her hands!
CRAAAAAAASSSSH!!!
Both hits reached Sol at point blank, his body instantly was sent flying down into the floor, vomiting white colored divine energy from his mouth.
"ARGHH! Ungh?! W-What?!" Sol eyes opened wide in shock, half of his body had become fully frozen, incapable of bringing out flames. "Urgh…! My defenses, I lost them…?!"
He had completely forgotten about that…
