Rise of the Undead Legion Chapter 491 - On His Last leg

Chapter 491 - On His Last leg

It was easy for Dave to move the earth, it felt like an extension of his body. He didn't even need to walk to the Ash King, the earth itself carried him toward the Demon lord. The ground shaped itself like a surfboard and moved Dave forward.
Dave gave a mental command and the earth surfboard stopped and split into spikes that shot at the Ash King. The latter clapped his hands, summoning a sword of flames, much weaker than the ones he used to summon before the Undeath God sapped away his power.
The Ash King swatted away the spikes, but he didn't account for Dave's follow up stomp. It caused a pillar to rise right under the Ash King's left leg, tipping him to the side, giving Dave ample time to slice down with Durandal, unperturbed.
-6,000,000
Dave kicked at the Ash King, but the later used the force to roll back and stand on his feet. The Ash King no longer boasted or spoke, he went to action. Slicing at Dave with another sword he just created out of thin air, sending two waves of flames toward him.
Dave dodged the two swords thanks to activating [Doomsday] then dashed forward. The Ash King struck with a palm forward, creating a fire palm as large as a ten-story building that shot at Dave.
Ajax was poised to the ready, consuming the whole of the spell into nothingness, while Dave's sword dug into the Ash King palm.
The Ash King drew back his palm while he swatted at Dave with the sword in his other hand all while he was jumping back to dodge another incoming sword attack. Dave however stomped a foot on the ground, causing a pillar to rise right behind the Ash King that stopped his retreat. Enabling him to slice at the Ash King once again.
The strength behind Dave's sword was magnificent, as he had used [Herculean Strength] two more times in a row. It was enough to force the weakened Ash King's sword out of the way and rip a grizzly gash on the Ash King's shoulder.
-26,000,000
The Ash King roared and spat a bout of fire at Dave, it was not meant to damage but more to hamper his vision for a while. It was enough of a distraction for the Ash King to slam a palm on the ground causing two Sworn Stalwart to manifest right under Dave's feet.
They clawed at Dave's legs, holding him in place. The Ash King didn't finish them, he blew through a circle he made with his thumb and index finger at the Earth Titan. Summoning black smog, thicker than tar, that coiled and bound the Earth Titan to limit his action.
The Ash King then summoned two swords and dove at Dave with little regard to anything in between them.
Dave was pinned down; he could rid himself of the Stalwarts in a few seconds but the Ash King was not going to let him. He struck down with the two swords he just summoned at the immobile Dave.
Dave dodged using [Immortal Ascension], letting the two swords come crashing down on the sworn stalwarts. While he had teleported right behind the Ash King with Durandal in a backward grip, Dave was back to back with the Ash King, only Durandal has dug deep into the demon king's flank.
-48,020,000
The Ash King stumbled forward and evaded the follow-up slash from Dave's sword. He twirled both swords and slammed their pummels together, creating a long spear of flames.
The Ash King charged at Dave with the spear of fire and thrust it forward with one hand. The power of the thrust was enough to rend space, and if Dave took the strike head-on, it would deal massive amounts of damage.
But Dave coolly stood watching as the spear approached dangerously, then in almost a fraction of a second, his right leg rose up and slammed down on the spear's tip, digging it into the ground, forcing the Ash king to tumble forward as his hand was gripping tightly on the spear.
Dave had just used [Mikiri Counter], and exposed the Ash King's opening. He struck with Durandal right at the base of the Ash King's neck, hoping to severe it with one good hit, but it was not powerful enough. Still, the impact from Durandal was enough to shake the Ash King back, yet Dave hadn't finished yet, he remembered the lesson Desmond had taught him, and how he could improve Mikiri Counter, so he followed up with a shoulder bash, causing the unbalanced Ash king to falter and be rocked away even more. A knee strike followed after, then Dave raised his sword high up and slammed down with Durandal's pummel on the Ash King's shoulder, forcing him down onto his knees from the might of the blow.
Dave held Durandal like a baseball bat then struck with all the might his bones could generate right into the Ash King's face with the sharp edge of Durandal.
The blow was enough to cause the Ash King to do a couple of flips in mid-air and smash him into the wall of his own fortification
-152,000,000HP (Critical)
"Damn, talk about thick face. That didn't kill him." Dave commented while he placed Durandal on one of his shoulders like a bat.
"Childe, you have done wonderfully so. But remember, Drahma was not only your friend, he was also one of Our Children," the Undead King spoke.
Dave turned to see the Undeath King upon his legs, his light consuming sword at the ready, it was sad that the sword was sealed thanks to some asshat player otherwise the Undead King's sword waves would have done a great deal of pain to the Ash King. The last time the Ash King took damage from that sword he lost one of his horns.
But now the Undead King looked healthier, his damaged chest was no longer as messed up as before, and he looked ready for battle.
"Undeath God, I ask thee for permission, grant me the might I was given once before to face against those that defied us!" the Undead King chanted.
And right in front of him, the Death Heart manifested. The power of the Undead legion, their source of might, and source of never-ending resurrection has come to the Undead King.
The Undead King touched the heart with both hands and it shook, exuding a black wave of energy that the Undead King feasted on, consuming with one single breath.
The Undead King grew in size, enough that white chains of light materialized around him, shaking and shuddering then breaking. Even his sword was wrapped with those chains, but once he consumed the power of the Death Heart, the chains were no longer able to suppress him. And thus, the light consuming sword was free to rain death upon all.
"Damn, now that's three giants against one," Dave uttered, "What you gonna do about it?"
The Ash King, for the first time in this battle, took a step back. He knew that he could outmatch any of the present beings in battle. Yet all three of them were too much for even the Ash King to contend against.
The Ash King knew that death was near, and he had scares resources to escape it.
"Damn you all!" The Ash King roared in frustration then stabbed his spear into the ground. Causing the rivers of lava to surge, the ground to crust over and tens of thousands of sworn Stalwart to come out.
In his action, he didn't care about his own troops that were consumed by the rivers of lava, he didn't care about the players that turned to mots of light, he only cared about his survival. And the Sworn Stalwarts, his most loyal slaves were enough to stall his foes for him to escape.
But the Earth titan had other ideas, he dug both hands into the ground, forcing the cracked rivers to be covered by earth, and bounded the Sworn Stalwarts to the earth with mud and rock. They had no ability to move, nor the ability to aid their King.
Dave moved toward the Ash King with all purposefulness, right next to the Undeath King.
The Ash King was bound to die today.
