Chapter 234: Closing Battle (2)
*Thud*
The sharp dagger with strong thrust only stuck in the colossal monster's forehead. The magic was only used when launching the weapon, so it was pure impact power from the physical attack that should have been deadly. Unfortunately, the effect was only minimal.
The monster didn't feel anything from that small object. It retaliated by spitting out some vivid and disgusting black slime.
*Tssh* *Tssh* *Tssh*
Like a pitch-black basketball with a high corrosion rate, Elysia avoided the slime spit as she moved backward. The area with the purplish-black soil instantly became enveloped in the purplish-black miasma. The sixteen black slimes were jumping up and down to chase after the girl who kept moving away.
'What is this? Even that gigantic monster's disgusting spit is alive!? Eww... Ely, try swinging your sword, but don't hit anything. Use a sword intent to create destructive force over long distances. Celestia can be enchanted to destroy hundreds of meters around just because of its sharpness, right?' Elena suggested what they had trained several days ago. Long-range sword technique.
Elysia nodded in understanding. It was the thing they would try next. She held Celestia with both hands, stacked Enhancement Magic was implemented, and made the pitch-black odachi enveloped in a white aura of channeled magic energy.
The girl, who was still in Stacks of Reinforcement Magic's effect within reasonable limits, swung her sword horizontally. "Hiya!"
The formless sword beam charged and gave the pursuers a considerable impact. The black slimes split open and became black mucus, which was absorbed by the ground.
The cursed ground burying thousands of accursed monsters became even more terrifying with the black miasma radiating from there. The colossal monster was planning something by emitting this poison.
Elysia continued to distance herself and stared at the colossal monster. The latter gave a death glare and grinned at her.
Realizing something was wrong, Elena made no suggestions or recommendations. She gently swung her hand from within the Soul Realm, manipulating the wind element to gather all the poison miasma that continued to spread into a poisonous ball.
'Ely, I'm going to scorch this poisonous ball into nothingness. This miasma is too dangerous, completely different from the last monsters.' Elena gave a gentle reminder and did as she said.
'En.' Elysia confirmed while she was setting a deadly trap. She focused on the colossal monster a hundred meters ahead, the enemy growling because its plan was thwarted.
"Groaa!" Saint Ruvoid roared to the sky. At that instant, its energy aura spiked to the next level, and thick tentacles appeared on its massive back.
One pair, two pairs, three pairs, and four pairs… Eight long tentacles were stretched out as if they were spider legs.
'Hmph!' Elysia knew an attack was coming when the monster stared at her. Instantly, the colossal creature disappeared from there. The bright sunshine from the sky suddenly blocked. She knew what was behind her.
*Bam!*
The disastrous blow only hit the ground, the troublesome human managed to dodge on the verge of death. The vast spiderweb-like crack was formed because of that, indicating instant death would be guaranteed if Elysia didn't have advanced perception or imagination magic. Yet, it wasn't over!
Elysia dodged as quickly as possible and slashed the tentacles that were difficult to avoid with Celestia. However, the monster did not allow it and immediately pursued this weak yet formidable human while baring its sharp fangs.
'Ely, you silly! Avoid direct physical clashes, don't parry the attacks or slash the monster's body head-on. Every single one of your magic vanished on that direct clash, and your bones are nearly crushed!' Elena cried out when she once again had to keep Elysia's body optimal by healing it with great care.
Previously it was due to Reinforcement Magic's use beyond limits, resulting in severe damage to the body. But, this time because it was purely crushed because of losing a scuffle. Different, but the result was the same... Both received damage to themselves.
'Kuh, this scary monster moved as if it teleported behind me. What can I do? Am I not a glass cannon? Easy to break.' Despite saying that, Elysia tried to distance herself after she strengthened her body and cast some additional magic.
They moved at a speed that was difficult for the eye to follow if anyone watched them. Elysia fled, and the monster gave chase. The girl was fragile, and she couldn't take a direct hit if she didn't want to receive instant death.
Due to the monster's rapidly increasing speed, the trap Elysia had set up couldn't be used then. She and Elena thought of other ways to eradicate this monster or seal it back underground.
"Earth wall, spikes, spears, bullets, bullets, whatever, whatever. Ugh, nothing hit." Elysia counterattacked by making tons of devastating earthen weapons in her escape.
Alas, the Saint Ruvoid only dodged at its high speed or smashed everything in its way with its hands, feet, or tentacles. Elysia's earth magic casting speed could not keep up with the target's moving speed.
Even the formless sword beam only scratched the colossal creature a bit… It was an attack that tore through the ground hundreds of meters but had little impact on Saint Ruvoid.
'Ely, aren't you capable of killing living beings with just one touch by draining all of their Life Energy? Want to try that?' Elena suddenly came up with a crazy idea.
'I will be crushed or eaten by this colossal monster before I can even try to use that technique! It takes a bit of preparation time, and this monster won't wait like that in a film. Ahh! This monster EP is still above 800 thousand. Draining it up is impossible.' Elysia kept darting around the middle area, dodging every attack, and striking back.
She could not touch this deadly monster, so the magic she used didn't disappear. Everything considered, what kind of attack could defeat a monster of this caliber with these restrictions and unfavorable conditions for her?
'Immune to magic and anything made from magic. High physical attack resistance. This monster's body is so hard and strong. Its attack damage is massive, and its abilities are terrifying. The speed is also high. Hmm, is this monster a god or something? Our attacks are meaningless. What can we use, hmm...' Elena tapped her chin while deep in thought.
She thought a lot about plans and had time for them. Meanwhile, Elysia was busy dealing with the monster while testing several attacks in a row on her high-speed escape.
'Ely, I bet this monster has limits and weaknesses despite all their troublesome traits. Let's try something big. I mean large-scale magic with great destructive power like the one you used in Avrora Forest.' Elena came up with another idea. She thought it was a brilliant idea worth trying.
'I feared that I would destroy something more than expected if I used large-scale destructive magic. Vanessa is still there, and this monster is still chasing me!' Elysia rejected the idea.
'It will be fine. Why not ask Vanessa to come out of the dome? You can send your words through a spiritual connection, right?' Elena proposes a solution to worries. Hopefully, complete destruction within this barrier could solve everything now and forever.
'The thing is, Vanessa has passed out and can't hear me. I said I'll be back quickly, but more than three minutes have passed... I'm a bad master.' Elysia blamed herself when she learned of her contracted beast condition.
'Okay, don't beat yourself up. You can apologize and compensate Vanessa later.' Elena sighed and tried to find another solution with more suitable conditions.
Elysia changed her escape route once again. Dozens and hundreds of stone bullets were fired from the ground to attack the Saint Ruvoid, which was still persistently chasing her while... Smiling horribly? The monster smiled while showing off its creepy fangs while chasing her?
"Food! Strong!"
A hoarse scream of horror escaped the monster's mouth, Elysia shivered at that. So, she was food, and this monster wanted to eat her too? Would these accursed monsters eat any living thing? Was that their food?
'Aha!'
'Waa! What, what's up?'
Elena suddenly said out loud because she had a great idea, and Elysia was startled because of it.
'Ely, let's try that right now. I know it will work and fit perfectly into our current condition!' Elena was prancing cheerfully at the idea she wanted to convey.
'Try what? Whoops, I nearly got shredded.' Elysia dodged and chatted, almost getting hit by a vicious attack because she was slightly off guard. She stopped her attack and only focused on flying away near the ground, circling that middle area again.
'As far as I know, we can create great destructive power in such a minimal area or seal the space itself. The forces that exist as options are nuclear, electromagnetic, or gravitational forces.
Yes, seal the monster's movements and carry out a concentrated attack in a devastating force. If it's neutralized, make it stronger. We will know the limit of this monster's immunity against that destruction magic.
There's no way any creature can survive destructive magic with a maximum force of four and a half trillion Energy Points, hehe...' Elena gave a long explanation about her idea.
