<h4>Chapter 1362: Strengthened</h4>
The 73rd God had surely created the monster to protect the relics. After it swallowed all the living creatures in this ce, and had nothing else to eat, it was stuck in level 46.
Having swallowed two level-2 Heaven Rank mages, it obviously grew even stronger. If it were to swallow a few more creatures and had another level-up, everybody would die here.
The path that they came from was already nowhere to be seen. There wasn’t a second option except killing the monster.
Lin Yun thought it through, and so did everybody else…
“Everybody, we have to use our full power now. You should know that if the monster swallows another couple of people, its level will rise again, and all of us will die here.
“Death isn’t a terrible ending. However, being forever trapped in the monster’s body will be even more terrible than death. If we don’t cooperate, none of us will be able to leave.”
Standing on the head of the Snake Tail Beast, Danason roared loudly. While talking, he began to chant a spell. Wounds appeared on his wrists, and his blood gushed out into a bloody array in midair.
Some sort of terrifying creature roared inside the array. Then, a streak of bloody light sprayed on the Snake Tail Beast from the array.
Instantly, the Snake Tail Beast, which was 100 meters tall, wriggled in pain, and quickly expanded to 200 meters in height. Its scales crumbled, and blood sprang from its wounds. Then, the blood was condensed into bloody scales. In only a couple of seconds, the Snake Tail Beast had turned red, and be at least five times stronger.
A violent, bloodthirsty, brutal, and crazy aura was spreading out. The monster’s four serpents all turned around, and looked at the Snake Tail Beast with undisguised killing intent in their eyes.
Danason had revealed his trump card. Everybody else was shocked, knowing that it was the Chester Family’s forbidden skill.
Most of the Chester Family’s battles depended on beasts. They knew few spells that could be used directly for battle. Most of the spells they knew were meant to strengthen their contracted beasts. This Blood Sacrifice, for example, could significantly boost a contracted beast’s strength by burning one’s own blood and vitality.
However, the beasts of the Chester Family had mostly signed symbiotic contracts. The vitality that was burnt and sacrificed didn’t just belong to the Chester Family’s mages, but also to the contracted beasts.
The forbidden skill had consumed at least 10 percent of total vitality, which would be permanently gone. The loss of 10 percent of vitality, considering Danason’s strength and his longevity after contracting the Snake Tail Beast, meant that he would live 1,000 years less…
After Danason started trying his best, Dalton also revealed all his strength without caring about anything.
Crossing his arms in front of his chest, Dalton sang a hymn in midair. The awe-inspiring hymn echoed throughout the world. In the sky, a glowing gate that had a pair of wings slowly appeared and opened. Then, pure holy light enshrouded Dalton in a pir of light.
The light gathered into white feathers that concentrated into four wings behind Dalton’s back. As he pped the wings, glittering feathers were dropping. Everything around Dalton was rejected except the power of light.
Lin Yun narrowed his eyes, and looked at Dalton, not expecting this turn of events.
It was said that the Holy Light Alliance’s founder had once found the divine country of the Lord of Holy Light, which had already been destroyed. However, a lot of the Lord of Holy Light’s servants still lived there. They were ves to the Lord of Holy Light, but angels to human beings…
It seemed that the angels, who were simr to elemental creatures, had struck a deal with the Holy Light Alliance. Otherwise, Dalton wouldn’t have been able to use the angel’s wings.
Also, the wings belonged to a four-winged angel, who should be at least in level 48.
On the other side, Levis of the Storm Tower seemed to know that he had to try his best too. He took out an ancient horn, and injected mana into it. The horn produced a dull noise, gathering the power of wind throughout the world.
A few secondster, the horn suddenly unleashed green power of wind. Levis held the rear part of the horn as if he were holding the handle of a saber. The power of wind that erupted in front of the horn formed a green de 100 meters long. When the wind de was waved, the space was cut apart easily like a soft cheese, and tiny, dense cracks were left everywhere.
All three of them seemed to be trying their best. Everybody else in their teams moved as far away as possible. They were only in level 2 of the Heaven Rank, and were too weak to participate in such a battle.
Lin Yun floated in midair, with the Ten Thousand Spell Wheel above his head. Chains of runes were stretched from the Book of Ten Thousand Mantras and the Book of Death to the Ten Thousand Spell Wheel. The purple dragon embodiment in the Draconic Staff drifted behind Lin Yun as a gigantic illusionary dragon.
They floated in four directions around the monster, but it seemed interested only in Danason’s Snake Tail Beast. Its four serpent limbs slithered, and carried it towards the Snake Tail Beast.
Seizing the opportunity, Levis attacked first. He held the horn and dashed forward from the monster’s back, shrouded in the power of wind. He then cut one of the serpents with the wind de that was 100 meters long.
Instantly, the wind de shivered at a higher and higher frequency. The dense space cracks around seemed to have turned into ck stings. When the wind de cut one of the serpents on the monster’s body, it looked like two pieces of metal were colliding, with sparks bursting out. Only scales of the serpent were broken.
In less than one second, the part of the monster that was hit by the wind de turned red as if it were burnt. Also, the red color was spreading. After it spread dozens of meters wide, the wind de cut off one of the monster’s lower limbs as if it were a real serpent.
Blood gushed out like a waterfall. Sticky ck blood gathered into a river on the ground. Wherever the ck blood reached, smoke popped up. The earth was corrupted by the ck blood, and the smoke was highly venomous too. Levis identally touched some of it, and a ck spot was already spreading quickly on his shield.
Breaking the shield, Levis turned into a wind, and flew to the altitude of three kilometers. He was rather pale. He had used his greatest strength in his previous attack. Also, he had to cleanse the stain. He used up at least half of his mana.
The illusion of a Demine appeared behind Levis. A tremendous amount of mana was sent out of the stormy Demine, replenishing Levis.
The monster was infuriated after one of its limbs was cut off. The serpent limb was still rolling and wriggling after being cut off. A river of blood was gushing out of the wound. It seemed that the serpent wasn’t going to die anytime soon.
Although the serpent was still alive, it was quickly losing its vigor as its blood gushed out.
After one of its serpent limbs was cut off, the monster seemed to realize that it was impossible to swallow the Snake Tail Beast without killing them.
Dalton pped the angel’s wings, and shed so quickly in the sky that he couldn’t be seen with the naked eye. After a few consecutive shes, he suddenly reappeared underneath one of the monster’s limbs.
Every time the angel’s wings were pped, a lot of white glittering feathers would drop. Those feathers slowly fell onto one of the monster’s limb serpents, and covered it in only a couple of seconds.
Floating in the sky, Dalton crossed his arms, and sang the hymn piously. The Heart of Luminosity beat slowly like a real heart. A dozen seconds passed, and some of the feathers that were stuck to the monster’s limb had been corrupted.
Instantly, all the feathers unleashed a dazzling brilliance. They gathered into a white circle that fettered the monster’s serpent limb.
Scorching holy light radiated. The circle of feathers suddenly contracted and sank in the serpent limb. A few secondster, the serpent was suddenly cut off. Dazzling holy light emanated from the serpent’s end, and all the feathers exploded into scorching light.
Another serpent limb had been cut off…
On the other hand, half of Danason’s body had already been melted into the Snake Tail Beast’s body. They were melted into a bloody tide. While the monster was distracted by others, they moved to another serpent limb.
The Snake Tail Beast turned into a bloody swirl that revolved around the serpent hundreds of times in only one second. Its ws rubbed against the serpent’s scales, causing a great number of sparks. Tiny lines of blood appeared on the serpent, which was soon twisted and cut off…
On the other hand, Lin Yun seized the opportunity to build a super electromaic track that was 300 meters long. It was already the best he could do.
It was possible for him to construct a longer electromaic track, but the cannonball wouldn’t be able to bear the eleration…
The new cannonball was abination of spell and materials. A special Four Element Bomb had been created with appropriate materials. It also contained special materials that could be elerated by the electromaic track and destructive materials that would unleash irresolvable power of destruction once triggered.
The Ten Thousand Spell Wheel revolved slowly, calcting direction, time, and everything else rted to the monster. After the monster’s third serpent limb was cut off, thest serpent limb opened its mouth, and roared at the Snake Tail Beast, as if it were going to swallow the Snake Tail Beast.
Exactly the moment before the serpent limb turned its head, Lin Yun’s special bomb that was abination of alchemy and magic wasunched. When the cannonball was boosted out of the electromaic track, the serpent happened to open its mouth towards the track.
Time seemed to freeze all of a sudden. The serpent’s mouth was wide open towards the electromaic cannon, whose cannonball had rushed out, and shot into the mouth, cutting apart the air.
The cannonball was so fast that it didn’t explode until it moved hundreds of meters in the mouth.
Immediately, the serpent’s stomach expanded almost 10 times, as if it had been filled with air. Then, the swelling part turned ck. When the body part turned purple and ck as if it were necrosis, it exploded…
Unleashing their full strength, the four of them cut off the monster’s serpent limbs in only half a minute. Although the broken serpent limbs were still active, it was only a matter of time before theypletely died as their blood was gushing like rivers.
The serpent that was the first to be cut off was already lying on the ground. Very little ck blood was still flowing out of its wound…
Losing the four serpent limbs, the monster was not nearly as agile as before. It fell between two mountains, and smashed them angrily with its four arms.
However, before anyone felt relieved, terrifying changes had taken ce…
After losing its lower half, the monster suddenly turned upside down. It moved on its four arms, with its head underneath its torso, and it was even faster than before.
The faceless monster moved on its arms like a gigantic spider. Even though it was hundreds of meters tall, it dashed across three kilometers in only one second, and it didn’t seem to be trying its best.
The Snake Tail Beast, which was the biggest, was the first to suffer under the faceless monster’s attack. The monster approached the Snake Tail Beast very quickly, and smashed the Snake Tail Beast with one of its wed hands that were covered in frost.
Immediately, the Snake Tail Beast was knocked almost eight kilometers away, as if it were weightless. While it was still flying, it was already covered in frost. The frost quickly thickened, and in only one second, the Snake Tail Beast was sealed inside a cube of ice that was almost 300 meters tall.
The ice cube rolled and hit a mountain in the center. The ice fell apart, but the mountain that was a kilometer tall was broken too. Both the Snake Tail Beast and Danason screamed in pain, not only because of the faceless monster’s enormous strength, but also because the power of ice was irresistible and much greater than normal power of freezing.
After knocking the Snake Tail Beast and Dalton away, the faceless monster roared, and charged at Dalton. Thetter pped his wings and rose. However, the faceless monster exerted strength in its four arms, and jumped too. It appeared underneath Dalton, and surrounded him with its four arms.
Appalled, Dalton pped the angel’s wings, trying to flee, but the faceless monster had already smashed him with one of its wed limbs, which was more than 50 meters long, and covered a radius of more than 200 meters. Having nowhere to escape, Dalton could only protect himself with the angel wings and the holy light.
However, holy light appeared on the surface of the monster’s ws too. It was exactly the same holy light as what Dalton had…
The Holy Light Alliance was best at group battles. They could easily cast a spell together as a team. Their magic power was very simr, which was why it could be melted easily.
But that became a fatal weakness at this moment. The power of holy light in the monster’s ws was the same as that of the holy light mage that it swallowed. After the holy light hit Dalton’s defense, they didn’t collide at all. Instead, they were melting with each other.
Dalton’s protection of holy light, under these circumstances, was like a bubble that the faceless monster destroyed easily with its ws. Then, the ws hit Dalton’s shield brutally.
The shield shivered softly, and countlessw runes exploded. After the explosion, the ws hit the angel’s wings as well…
Immediately, Dalton flew back as quickly as a streak of light. A tremendous number of angel’s feathers dropped on the way. He didn’t regain bnce until he flew thousands of meters away. He looked more miserable than ever.
He had countless broken bones. Three of his angel’s wings were already gone, and thest was half broken…
A lot of glistening angel’s feathers were floating around him. They slowly melted into his body, and quickly healed his wounds. In only a couple of seconds, Dalton hadpletely recovered, although he seemed a bit tired.
That was another reason why everybody of the Holy Light Alliance was called a rabid dog. They never cared about their own safety in battles, because as long as they weren’t instantly killed or out of mana, they could barely die. Broken bones were just minor injuries. Only severed limbs could be considered wounds, but only just wounds…
The faceless monster’s counterattack had heavily wounded two people in only a few seconds. Although the wounds couldn’t affect level-5 Heaven Rank experts in the battle, everybody was chilled by the monster’s strength.
After assaulting the two men, the faceless monster didn’t stop. However, instead of charging forward, it raised its arms, and inside each of its wed palms, a mouth that was full of sharp teeth opened. From one of the mouths, a ball lightning that was dozens of meters in diameter darted out. The lightning ball exploded, and disappeared the moment it darted out.
