Chapter 203: Impassable Orc Rampart

Immediately, all of the rocks and boulders within the area and inside the earth, was mysteriously pulled towards a single point. Boom…boom…boom  all of the rocks present within the area whether it had fallen off from the meteor or was already present there, merged together to become a gigantic golem.

The golem was hundreds of meters big and compressed of countless stones big or small. Compared to the dozens of golems that Berigard had created before, this one was entirely made of rocks and was many times stronger and sturdier.

The Amalgamation magic [Impentrable Stone Golem] was a result of achieving harmony between the two intermediate attributes of elements. The Golem created was not only powerful but thanks to the gale magic added onto the mix, it could manoeuvre with speed beyond that of a normal golem.

You would expect a golem hundreds of meters big and entirely made of stones to be immensely slow. But that was not the case for the [Impenetrable Stone Golem], the gale magic applied to each and rock on its body made its body much lighter and along with the sturdiness of the stone, the golem was a force to reckon with.

BANG…  a large imprint a few dozen feet wide, appeared on the ground. The land trembled whenever the golem took a step and on the order of Berigard, the yellowish light flashing on its hollow eyes fixed their gaze on the Lightning Draconic Serpent who was on the verge of completing its magic.

RUMBLE … the clouds churned and booming noise continuously rang out. DRIP… DRIP droplets of rain started to fall and before long it erupted into a heavy outburst.

A bad premonition struck him and a destructive aura spread everywhere. Berigard immediately commanded his golem to charge towards the Lightning Draconic Serpent.

The ground cracked whenever the gigantic golem took a step and a wide imprint would be left in its wake. Bringing along a ramming speed of a mountain, the [Impenetrable Stone Golem] ran towards the Lightning draconic Serpent and brought its fist down.

The fist that could have guaranteed the Diluvian High orcs the victory, came sweeping over when suddenly the whole cloud lit up and an enormous column of lightning came down on the golem destroying one of its hands in the process.

BOOM…

It was at this moment that the Lightning Draconic Serpent stopped discharging lightning out of its body and glared menacingly at the orcs surrounding it. Its large draconic eyes which were masked with madness, turned crimson red at this moment and a puddle of blood had accumulated under its body.

Under the orders of the orc general, the Diluvian High Orcs used all of their strength to continuously aim at its wounds in an attempt to disturb its magic. The amount of pain it had suffered during those few moments was something it had never experienced in its entire life.

"This one shall make you pay for your transgressions with your lives. [Weather Manipulation], [Lightning Magic Mastery], [Water Magic Mastery]- [Lightning Rain]" with a loathing tone, the Lightning Draconic Serpent addressed its enemies and roared out loud.

The thick dark clouds looming over the sky reverberated with a booming noise and thousands of small and big lightning columns that looked like small serpents swam across the clouds.

A terrifying silence descended onto the forest before everything brightened out in an instant.

"Not good" Berigard made an ugly face when he realised how ridiculously powerful the attack conjured by their Lightning Draconic Serpent was. The attack had surpassed even his wildest estimation and if nothing is done, all their lives would be forsaken.

Although he had a pained expression when he did that, Berigard quickly tore off one of the accessories from his necklace and grabbed it in his hands.

The thing he tore off was an object completely white in colour and had an unusual shape. Looking carefully, it seemed to be the bone of some entity.

At first glance, it appeared extremely ordinary but when Berigard inserted some of his mana into it, it was as if the thing had suddenly become alive and an abrupt amount of mana started pouring out of it.

Unlike the natural colourless mystical energy, the mana that was pouring out of the bone was a slight shade of red and appeared to be extremely violent and berserk.

Quickly, all of that energy rushed into Berigard through all of his pores and after a few moments, his thin body became incredibly robust. Veins bulged all over his body and he couldn't help scream out in pain. The energy that was inside him was running rampant trying to destroy him from within.

"Calm down Berigel… this is not the time to act out now. I promise we shall have our revenge sooner or later. Right now I desperately need your help… I need your powers to overcome this hurdle in front of me… please aide me Berigel" Grounding his teeth, Berigard seemed to be communicating with the bone in his hand.

Mysteriously, the bone seemed to respond to his call and immediately stopped its violent rampage.

RUMBLEEEE… a deafening sound so loud that it could be heard clearly from dozens of miles, rang out. Thousands of small and big lightning columns that appeared like serpents struck down on the forest like a rain of lightning, ravishing and destroying all the lives present in it.

"Die" The lightning draconic Serpent roared and marvelled at the might of its attack.

BOOM… BOOOM… wherever the serpents struck, the place would be immediately burned and scorched to the ground. The power behind each of these columns were so packed and dense that they immediately created small craters wherever they landed.

One did not even need to question what would happen if these serpents of death rained down on the bodies of the orcs. Regardless of how tough or what their levels were, their bodies were immediately turned into ash before they could even utter a sound.

The numbers of the diluvian high orcs which were around 50, was immediately cut down to around 20 in an instant and their numbers were continuously being reduced before merely a ten of them remained.

These ten orcs comprised of the two orc commanders and those that were fortunate enough to be in the backlines. It had only been a few hours since they engaged with their enemy but their numbers were already cut down so much that they could no longer be counted as an army.

"Hehehe, Die..Die..Die" the lightning Draconic Serpent hissed as it enjoyed the feeling of sniffing its enemy out of its life. Its crimson eyes that was masked with madness finally fixed their gaze upon Berigard and the ones near him.

RUMBLE… dozens of lightning serpents rained on the spots where the remaining orcs were trying to sniff the last of the remains when Berigard who was holding the white bone cried out bloody loud.

"[Impassable Orc Rampart]" like a tidal wave, thick crimson energy erupted out Berigard and soon coagulated together into become a huge rampart dozens of meters big that completely covered the area where the remaining orcs were. 

The rampart formed was completely crimson in colour and if viewed from afar, resembled a huge Diluvian Orc with only a single fang protruding from its mouth.

The rampart was extremely animate and stood there like a protective umbrella storming all the lightning serpent that came striking down at them.

Thunderous noises and bright flashes of lightning continued to rain down on the [Impassbale Orc Rampart]. However, was able to even make a single crack or dint on it.

ROOARRR… Seeing that its most powerful attack was not having any effects on the thing that the puny orcs had created in their last-ditch effort, it concentrated all of the lighting serpents on the cloud and rained them all on the rampart in an attempt to break it.

RUMBLEEE… CRICK some visible cracks appeared on the rampart but other than that there was no other visible changes.

As the lightning struck, the dark clouds hovering over the sky gradually died down and after half a minute of raining lightning, they completely died down. The rampart even after enduring all those attacks, appeared to be a little faded but was still holding strong.

Needless to say, the orcs underneath it were completely unharmed and not even a breeze from the attack earlier could touch their body.

Berigard's body slowly landed on the ground and he immediately coughed up a few mouthfuls of blood. His breathing was ragged and his body looked extremely frail, nevertheless, the light in his eyes was yet to die and was burning like a blazing flame.

At this moment, he extended one of his hands and the [Impassable Rock Golem] that had been stationary all this while, swung its other remaining fist towards the Lightning Draconic Serpent fiercely.

The Lightning Draconic Serpent just stood there and looked on in amazement at the orcs who had survived his strongest attack. It was completely baffled after the last attack and hence did not have enough strength to dodge the incoming fist of the golem.

BANG… with a loud sound of bones being crushed, the Lightning Draconic Serpent was squarely hit on the mouth and was sent flying far towards the distance.

CRASH…

Simon widened his eyes when he saw the huge body of the lightning draconic Serpent came flying in his direction and only came to a stop after mowing down hundreds of trees.

His eyes hurriedly moved over to its body which was twitching and trembling in an attempt to get back up; theless, it failed every time as the wounds in its body was just too much.
