Chapter 464: Chapter 464: The Chaos Siege Beast
Luca’s actions plunged the monster horde into disarray.
Nearly every monster began converging in his direction, including his primary target—the towering Chaos Siege Beast—which had locked its sights on him.
With a thunderous charge, the Chaos Siege Beast barreled toward Luca, trampling and crushing any monster unfortunate enough to stand in its path.
“It looks like this monster has figured out that it’s our main target,” Luca remarked casually to Sophia.
But beneath his relaxed tone was a clear signal—he was prompting Sophia to act immediately.
Without a second of hesitation, Sophia unleashed her frost magic.
Centered on Luca, a biting cold wind erupted outward in all directions.
The weaker monsters froze instantly upon contact with the icy blast, while the stronger ones, though not immobilized, found their movements significantly slowed.
Sophia’s spell had excellent effect—at least against the less powerful monsters.
However, against the Chaos Siege Beast, the cold wind had no impact at all.
The temperature around the beast’s body barely dropped.
“I’m sorry… this is the best I can do with my frost magic,” Sophia said with a hint of disappointment.
She had expected her spell to be a major advantage for Luca in this battle.
“There’s no need to apologize. You’ve done more than enough. Leave the rest of the fight to me,” Luca replied, his tone steady and reassuring.
He didn’t see her magic as a failure.
In fact, from the very start, he had known that her frost spells wouldn’t significantly affect a powerful creature like the Chaos Siege Beast.
After all, Sophia was still not fully recovered.
His plan had always been for her magic to suppress the surrounding monsters, clearing the way for a one-on-one duel between himself and the Chaos Siege Beast.
As soon as he finished speaking, Luca gripped Starseeker tightly and transformed into a streak of silver light, charging straight toward the Chaos Siege Beast.
Both moved at incredible speed, and in the blink of an eye, they collided.
The solid horns of the Chaos Siege Beast collided with Luca’s tightly gripped Starseeker.
Both combatants felt the immense power radiating from each other.
In the instant of impact, both were immediately thrown back.
The Chaos Siege Beast staggered several steps backward, returning to the monster horde.
Luca was sent flying into the defensive walls on the outskirts of the Imperial Capital, with Starseeker slipping from his grasp and landing several kilometers away.
The massive shockwave from their collision caused devastating damage to everything nearby.
Weaker monsters and ordinary warriors were instantly killed by the shockwave.
Even those who survived—the remaining monsters and human warriors—were temporarily incapacitated, unable to continue fighting due to the wave’s overwhelming force.
Not far behind the defensive line, the deputy captain of the Imperial Capital Guard witnessed the scene with a look of pure astonishment on his face.
He had never expected Luca to possess such overwhelming power.
“It seems my assessment of Luca’s strength was still inaccurate! To be able to hold his own against the Chaos Siege Beast, he truly has the potential to repel the monster horde alone.”
It wasn’t just the deputy captain of the Imperial Capital Guard who was shocked.
In fact, the colossal shockwave created by the clash between Luca and the Chaos Siege Beast drew the attention of every monster and human on the battlefield.
The area fell silent.
Every eye was fixed on the Chaos Siege Beast and Luca.
They all realized that the outcome of the battle had shifted, and their individual fights no longer held any true significance.
Would the monster horde break through the human defenses? Could the humans hold the walls on the outskirts of the Imperial Capital?
The answer to these questions now depended solely on the battle between Luca and the Chaos Siege Beast.
The Chaos Siege Beast recovered more quickly.
Its enormous eyes gleamed with a terrifying purple light.
As the purple glow spread, the surrounding monsters were consumed by it.
Empowered by chaotic energy, the Chaos Siege Beast quickly prepared to launch another assault.
It infused the chaotic energy into its massive form.
Then, with unbelievable speed, it charged toward Luca once more.
The Chaos Siege Beast’s speed was so astounding that Luca barely had time to react.
In just two seconds, the beast was upon him.
At that moment, Luca had just begun to react.
He quickly activated his defensive magic runes.
The enormous horns of the Chaos Siege Beast collided directly with the shield formed by the magic runes.
The silver-white shield was instantly shattered.
The eyes of the Chaos Siege Beast gleamed with a red light, and then two beams of laser light shot from its eyes.
The distance between them was so close that Luca had no time to dodge the laser attack from the Chaos Siege Beast.
In that split second, he could only bring out the Origin Holy Grail in a desperate move.
The Origin Holy Grail blocked the lasers fired from the Chaos Siege Beast’s eyes.
Luca took this opportunity to quickly distance himself from the beast.
The second round of their clash lasted less than five seconds, but within that brief time, Luca faced several deadly threats.
“The power of the Chaos Siege Beast is still too overwhelming. It seems we can’t take it down in one battle. We need to gradually weaken its strength through prolonged combat,” Luca swiftly revised his strategy.
He realized that his initial assessment of the Chaos Siege Beast’s power had been somewhat off.
Sophia, of course, had no objections.
She too felt that the power of the Chaos Siege Beast was beyond her expectations.
“I agree with your plan. However, I think the Chaos Siege Beast we’re facing is stronger than normal. There must be a deeper reason behind this. You need to be extra cautious,” she warned.
Luca nodded grimly.
Although he had never fought the Chaos Siege Beast before, the information provided by Sophia indicated that the beast’s power should not have been this strong.
“I’m growing more curious about the secrets hidden within this monster horde! The timing of their arrival is extremely strange, and the chaotic power they possess is terrifying. The monsters within the horde are fundamentally different from other monsters. If we can uncover all the secrets of this monster horde, perhaps we’ll have a chance to face our greatest enemy directly!”
Though Luca still didn’t fully understand the situation, amidst the dense fog of uncertainty, he felt that all these secrets were somehow connected to the Ancient Gods.
He even suspected that their greatest enemy was, in fact, the Ancient Gods!
Though he couldn’t be sure, he had formed a tentative judgment.
But now was not the time for idle thoughts; he needed to focus on the battlefield.
The Chaos Siege Beast had launched its third attack against him.
This time, the Chaos Siege Beast was accompanied by numerous monsters, seemingly attempting to trap Luca with this overwhelming force, leaving him no way to escape.
Seeing this, Luca let out a cold laugh.
“It seems that the monsters in this horde are much more intelligent than the ones we encountered before,” he remarked to himself, before quickly generating a large amount of Dreamweaving Mist around his body.
As the Dreamweaving Mist gradually increased, the boundary between the real world and the dream world became increasingly blurred.
“Since I can’t easily defeat it in the real world, then I’ll change the battlefield,” Luca thought.
Once the dream world stabilized, Luca immediately activated the Origin Holy Grail.
The primal power within the Origin Holy Grail swiftly entered the dream world.
He used this primal power to have the dream world envelop the location of both himself and the Chaos Siege Beast.
The battlefield between them instantly shifted to the dream world.
The Chaos Siege Beast seemed to realize what had happened.
Instead of directing the other monsters to attack Luca, it observed the situation with its two enormous eyes while gathering all the monsters around itself.
“You think you can block my attacks this way? How laughable,” Luca said coldly.
“A monster is still just a monster. Even if it has a certain level of intelligence, it can’t make precise judgments in a complex battlefield like this!”
The dream world, in fact, had no fixed direction.
Even though the Chaos Siege Beast had gathered the monsters around its massive body, Luca was still able to directly attack it through the Dreamweaving Mist.
A large amount of Dreamweaving Mist coalesced into a bridge-like passage.
Luca infused his power into the passage.
Immediately, the primal power of the dream world surged through the passage toward the Chaos Siege Beast.
Primal power was extremely effective against chaotic forces.
The moment the Chaos Siege Beast sensed the primal power, it chose to devour all the surrounding monsters.
It sought to absorb more chaotic energy to counter the primal power coming toward it.
This wasn’t necessarily the wrong choice, but without the aid of the other monsters, the Chaos Siege Beast was now left to face Luca alone.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Luca immediately activated the fire magic runes.
A wall of fire descended from the sky, directly striking the Chaos Siege Beast.
Because the Chaos Siege Beast had focused all its attention on the primal power, it had failed to defend against the fire wall.
Under the intense heat, the Chaos Siege Beast let out a painful howl.
Luca saw this and smiled slightly, his plan had succeeded.
Normally, a fire wall attack would be unlikely to inflict significant damage on the Chaos Siege Beast, and it might not even be able to breach its defenses.
This was because the Chaos Siege Beast’s body was incredibly sturdy, and even without its chaotic power, ordinary attacks would never pierce its armor.
However, within the dream world, Luca could, to some extent, set the rules of the dream world.
As soon as he created the dream world, he established the most basic rule: the structural integrity of all living beings within the dream world was greatly weakened.
