Chapter 985 Final Battle
There were still about five hundred thousand survivors gathered on the empty clearing at the center of the base. Horde after horde of Abyss creatures relentlessly charged at them and the acolytes tried their best to hold the bloodthirsty creatures back.
Alas, the remaining one hundred acolytes of Platoon 3 were simply no longer able to withstand the swarm of Abyss creatures. The fatigue they had accumulated from the prolonged battle and the journey they had endured earlier had finally caught up with them.
Emery watched his friends, specifically Julian and Thrax, were no longer in the defense and just charged into the sea of Abyss creatures. At this point, there was no point in maintaining the crumbling defense line. Their best hope was to create as much havoc amongst the Abyss creatures to stall them.
Klea was still ferociously fighting the Abyss creatures in the sky. Crackling lightning were flashing everywhere above her, while frigid ice in various sizes and forms revolved around her body.
On the other hand, Chumo’s figure was all over the place and simply too difficult to keep track of. Even though his presence mostly went unnoticed, the impact he caused was no less than apparent as countless Abyss creatures were shot down by arrows that seemingly came out of nowhere.
In a field littered with numerous corpses of gruesome creatures, a stout figure could be seen holding down the hordes of similar creatures. At this point, Julian had lost his shield amidst the chaos and was compelled to start using his metal element spell, blocking the oncoming attacks with his body.
Not too far from him, a cacophony of explosions was unfolding. Thrax, a glaive engulfed in fiery flames in his hand, went on a rampage, killing the surrounding Abyss creatures without any mercy. He had killed so many that his entire body was completely covered in blood and the ground around him was covered in dismembered bodies.
Other similar situations also occurred in various places at the center of the base. Gerri the Violet Flame, Aiko the Jade Flash, the two descendants of prominent factions, Roran Harlight and Anas the Kaleos.
Despite the fact they were at the end of their strength, they all were still fighting the Abyss creatures fiercely, buying even an extra second for the survivors to live. Their determination was clear to see.
However, when the high-tier Abyss creature made their appearances in this chaos, especially the four stage 6 Terror Centipede, it seemed as if all hopes were lost at that moment. People were screaming in pure terror, and as chaos once again embroiled itself amongst the masses dozens of lives were lost every second.
“Hahaha, meet my brother and sister!” The transformed Abyss creature laughed boisterously as it waited for its two arms to grow back to their original state.
Emery closed his eyes and dove into his body, accessing his newly upgraded dual core. Both his nature and the dark core had synergized with each other to another level altogether, giving him a seemingly unstoppable power. An even more astonishing discovery he made was the fact that his dual core even managed to access the ancient powers of spirit beings.
His figure descended from the sky and landed in front of the chaotic masses. Both of his arms were on the ground, and he swiftly channeled the spirit energy in his body to cast his most mastered spell [Jade Roots] and [Jade Wall] at once.
Immediately after, numerous walls of glowing stones and wild thorns appeared around the group of survivors, forming into a makeshift stronghold made out of plants. With the help of the spirit beasts, Emery was able to instantly create a great wall that stretched five meters high and about a mile long without any difficulty.
However, things didn’t stop there. While he was still channeling the spell, Emery suddenly found an epiphany through his newly created Light Pillar and fell into the state of enlightenment. His existing mastery of plant elements, his personal understanding of the spell [Metamorph], added with a touch of the chaos, combined through some kind of sublime machinations and became a new spell.
[Primal Flora]
In a matter of seconds, hundreds of crimson flowers bloomed from the thorns on the walls. It continued to grow larger until it reached a meter in size. It then opened its petals widely, showing off the dozens of sharp fangs it contained within.
Emery’s newfound spell had created a ferocious flesh-eating flower with a sturdy body that could regenerate endlessly as long as spirit energy was present. However, despite their intimidating appearances, the Abyss creatures still charged towards the wall they were on.
The Crawlers quickly began to swarm the walls, but they were dissected before they could even touch the walls. Not only the spell provided defensive capabilities, it could also perform a very effective offensive attack to the abyss creatures.
However, Emery did not stop at this point and went even further with his spells. With the immense power bestowed by the spirit beings, he continuously provided spirit energy to his spells and the result of such an action quickly became apparent.
The jade roots that covered the walls completely began to grow even more, starting to spread out and fill the empty field. The thousands of Abyss creatures seen across the field were quickly entangled by these roots.
Realizing the danger they were in, the Abyss creatures tried to break free. Unfortunately, their efforts proved in vain as the roots began to tighten around their bodies and crush them into a heap of unrecognizable mass.
From their mass of dead bodies, hundreds of flesh-eating flowers emerged and swiftly bared their fangs at nearby Abyss creatures. It was like a rhapsody of nature’s wrath, befitting of the name of the spell itself.
The brutal yet beautiful scene brought awe to all the acolytes, especially two particular figures.
The figure of Zach Talon, who had just recovered from his injury, was seen running towards one side of the horde where one of the four Terror Centipede wreaked havoc. While charging his way towards the monstrous centipede, he cast [Mega Flare] and killed many other Abyss creatures in an instant.
On the other hand, another unexpected figure, Eeshoo Nephilim, cast his powerful spell [Sun Ray] to eliminate a large group of Abyss creatures while performing the same action as Dragon blood – restraining one of the Terror Centipedes from rampaging any further. Apparently despite almost all platoon one acolytes has left, the Nephilim genius decided to stay and fight.
Further on the other corner, Magus Bellaine, accompanied by her remaining half a dozen saint fighters, charged at the third Terror Centipede. They should have no problem handling it with their tight and solid cooperation.
Meanwhile, the fourth one was attacked by the teamwork of the three prominent privileged acolytes. Sigurd the Titan bloodline, Annara Vairmont, and Vida Themary. The former clashed directly with the Abyss creature, creating opportunities for the latter two to take advantage of.
Unbeknownst to Emery, the impressive display he showed earlier had made everyone seeing it regain their hopes and burn with renewed fighting spirit. Unknowingly, they all didn’t want to lose to him.
Emery, after all, was just a lower realm nobody. For such a figure to rise up from the bottom ring of the Magus Academy and eventually stood amongst them–the elites, it naturally affected these prestigious people to varying degrees.
High in the air, inside the golden vessel, Jinkan saw the entire scene with apparent astonishment on her face. The remaining 100 acolytes all fought together to the best of their ability. All because of the presence of one individual.
A few moments later, Emery finished channeling his new nature spell. He turned his gaze to the survivors and acolytes, and realizing that they would be safe for a while, he looked towards the angered giant figure and opened his mouth.
“It’s time to end this.”
