Dungeon of Pride, Laplace

Chapter 994- Hidden Quest (2)

"You… what… that" Rothgard was so surprised that he was unable to even form proper words. The mercenary he hired back then was this strong!!

No, it was only natural. Now that he thought about it, not only the other party was always resourceful but they were also a demon noble. It shouldn't come as a surprise that they were this strong.

"Kuh! Dammit, using the Finger of Ozymandias at such a level takes a great toll on my body. However, even after that the most I can do is push the enemy back" Simon grunted. He no longer tried to keep some of his trump cards a secret after all, this was a matter of life and death.

The effects of the formation could activate any moment, during such a crisis, he cannot just sit back and relax. That said, even though he had used the [Cursed Soldier] of the finger of Ozymandias, the most it could achieve was stopping the abominations for a little while.

However, the enemy's number was so great that they broke free from the [Cursed Soldiers] entrapment and were on their way over here.

"Tch, although I wanted to avoid it, there is no helping it. If it's number you want, I got it right here". Simon's hand flashed and the Euclid's cube appeared in his palm.

The next second, to the bewilderment of the observing Rothgard, the cube enlarged to the size of a mountain before spawning legions of Andromedas with brilliant glowing eyes and glossy armor.

Andromedas MK5, MK4 and MK3 all joined the battle. And thus with the appearance of the Andromedas, the stark number difference was quickly overturned and the tides shifted.

As inanimate creatures, they were impervious to the corruptive nature of the green energy outside and since their frames and all their parts were moulded with Mythril and all the high grades ore there was, they were also somewhat resistant to the corrosion.

 The abomination that broke out from the Cursed Soldiers were now all stopped by the Andromedas, thus causing them to lose the initiative.

"Hoh, would you look at that? That demon had such a trump card hidden under his belt" Itherion smirked, even after getting besieged by numerous abominations from all directions, not even a trace of tension can be seen on his person.

"It just means that he was not going all out when he fought me" Vincent was the same, numbers meant nothing in front of his sword.

"Oh, if I recall weren't you the one who attacked him? Are you mad that he had the leisure to hold back some of his powers against you? But didn't you do the same? You didn't even use 1% of your power back then" Itherion laughed.

"Anywho, it seems like they are doing more than batter over there. Let us finish our job too".

Itherion nodded "You are right, we can't just let a demon noble outshine us. Let's put more effort into it shall we".

Right after saying that, a brilliant golden light started exuding off of his eyes and body. [True Gold]- [Brilliant Dawn] At the same time as if responding to Itehrion's wishes, a huge halo appeared inside the murky green sky of the formation.

Meanwhile, Vincent's whole body started giving off a silvery glow. He was so bright that he looked like a star.

[True Silver]- [Myraid Phantom Swords] The silvery glow around him took on the shape of hundreds of thousands of swords, appearing just like a starry river from the distance.

The next instant, with the swipe of the sword from the caster, the two techniques came down.

SHING… SHING.. SHING… SHING… there was a bright flash of Gold and Silver and a second later all the abominations surrounding Itherion and Vincent stopped moving. The next second, with a supersonic grinding sound all the enemies disintegrated into pieces until not even their remains left behind.

"Strong…" Simon who was paying a close attention to their battle, gave his honest opinion. Even to his trained eyes, the technique and movement from Itehrion and Vincent were too profound for him to capture.

To others, it looked like the abominations were disintegrated with a single flash of gold and silver.

"This!!" It was not only Simon who was impressed but the spectre too was befuddled by the sudden increase in strength of its opponents "You defeated by my Wailing Brood Offerings so easily?"

Just a moment ago, it was dominating the battle with its brood offerings, targeting their weakest link and destabilising the formation. However, the next second metallic beings appeared out of nowhere and quickly dispersed its advantage. Thus leading to their current situation right now.

"Well then, it's just you remaining now. I remember you stating that this formation was your doing. Then all we need to do is defeat its caster you and the formation will naturally disappear" Itherion pointed his blade at the spectre.

The next second he disappeared and appeared behind the spectre, his blade drawing a clean cut on its unguarded back.

SPLASH…. KIEEEERRGHHHH… Green puss sprayed from the wound, accompanied by a screech that sounded more like static than a living cry. Nôv(el)B\\jnn

 "Hoh, you can give that kind of sound too huh? How about you scream some more"

Silver light flashed and another gash appeared on the spectre. This time, it was on its front. The spectre twisted and thrashed wildly, its body glitching violently.

[Insignificant ants! You dare to attack me?! I will tear you apart, piece by piece!]

In a fit of rage, the spectre spread its arms, the murky green energy of the formation surging toward it like a tide. Twisters began forming, like coiling worms burrowing out of the sky, their roiling energy feeding off the formation.

[You will die here. All of you. This world will forget you even existed!]

The spectre's voice carried an almost manic glee as it gave its verdict. It then plunged itself into the typhoon and disappeared into one of the twisters.
