Chapter 694: Clashes Amidst Fierce Thunderstorm (4)
Elysia checked the biggest horned whale status screen and heaved a subtle sigh. She knew that Oceanid had a grudge against that massive creature, but she hoped he wouldn't act stupid when the five-minute time limit was up.
"What took him so long? Big sister already handled the smaller ones, and the weaker monsters couldn't get close to him either, though?" Nell folded her arms while grumbling.
"Hm, the Whalehemoth has a special defense with an insane amount of vitality. It's not easy to eliminate them, especially since we only use minimal magic here. We will all be at a disadvantage if the Whalehemoth releases their ultimate attack." Rhea heaved a subtle sigh and glanced down.
The massive horned whale that she fought a moment ago was writhing on the seabed as if trying to get rid of the sharp weapons stuck all over its body.
Several smaller sea monsters helped the Whalehemoth down there. They pulled out the various swords one by one.
"At this rate, it can fully recover in an hour or two." Rhea muttered under her breath.
"Hm, we'll see what we can do once Sea God is done with his business. His opponent is already dying." Elena watched the Oceanid battle for a moment, then she noticed something odd at the bottom of the sea.
"That Whalehemoth preys on its comrades? It eats the smaller monsters to recover and recharge its magic!?" Nell cried out in surprise as she realized what was happening there.
"Well, the horned whale took a few hours to do that. Its horns are still golden, and its body is still predominantly black. We'll do something about that later." Elena gave a dismissive wave of her hand.
"But, the Whalehemoth over there can launch its ultimate attack, you know? It's an ultimate attack, like a laser beam that's very dangerous not because of its destructive power. Still, the curse it can inflict, you know? We don't use magic to prevent that from happening, right? Why can you say that so casually?" Nell was a bit frantic in questioning her confusion. She had no idea why Elena and Elysia were still so calm in these ordeals.
"That's because we can become too dangerous for those monsters. Perhaps, the entire battle will be over if we intervene in the first step. However, here is the Sea God's battlefield. He is fighting the regrets of his past and avenging his dead comrade. It was evident in the turbulence of his aura." Elena closed her eyes for a moment and turned around.
She faced the girls. "You all weren't hurt, right? After fighting so many accursed monsters without using magic, what do you feel?"
"That, that's amazing! Thanks to all those blessing magic and buffs, we came out unscathed and eliminated hundreds of huge monsters." Sylvia spun around once to reveal her unharmed body.
However, the demonic dragon devil girl was pushed away because her wings hit Yuuki's face.
"Please be careful with your wings and tail." Yuuki rubbed her face, somewhat annoyed.
"Oops, sorry. I didn't mean to." Sylvia went over to Yuuki, but the latter went to dodge.
"No, don't try to touch me. Your current battlesuit is too dangerous and can hurt someone without you even knowing it." Yuuki pointed at Sylvia's claws.
"Huh? Ah, I guess you're right." Sylvia looked at her hands which currently looked like sharp claws.
She was currently in her demonic dragon form, and her battlesuit adjusted accordingly. It was natural for Yuuki to stay away from her because her current battlesuit condition was harmful.
The other girls chuckled in amusement. They then answered Elysia's master's worried questions by telling them they were fine.
Meanwhile, Oceanid continued to launch physical attacks against his opponent. He didn't even let his opponent have a moment to catch a breath.
*Bam!* *Boom!* *Bam!* *Slash* *Stab*
'I can do this. I currently only have three minutes before the corrosion and contamination start to take effect. This is not enough. More, more, I need more power to slaughter this savage whale!' Oceanid gave a suggestion to himself and quickened his movement.
He swung his divine trident at high speed to slash at his opponent.
*Slashes*
The final slash was launched, and it managed to cut his opponent's tail.
*Phwargh!*
The Whalehemoth roared in pain. It wriggled to get rid of the little creature that kept hurting its body. At the same time, a puff of thick black fog gushed out from its body.
"I think this is enough. My ultimate attack can kill you in one hit now." Oceanid jumped away from his opponent. He held his divine trident with both hands and closed his eyes for a moment.
"By the power of the sea and the name of my divinity, I shall call the almighty power to slay my enemy." Oceanid chanted his mantra.
A flash of bluish gold light enveloped his divine trident, then it flowed towards the sharp tip. As the light dimmed, Oceanid opened his eyes again with a stance, ready to throw his weapon at his fleeing opponent.
"You can't escape! Annihilate into nothingness! Cosmos Strike, destroy everything with nothing left!" Oceanid threw his divine trident with all his might.
It shot out like a bullet that pierced the speed of sound. Dozens of wind ripples were left behind in its trajectory.
*Swoosh!* *Stab*
That trident went straight into the Whalehemoth's tail and out of its head. It completely pierced through a massive creature measuring more than three kilometers across in seconds.
The Whalehemoth opened its mouth very large as if it would roar in pain. Still, its body suddenly exploded as if many explosions had occurred inside its body.
*Boom!*
A huge purplish-blue explosion shattered that massive monster, sending countless tiny particles in all directions. However, it instantly became thick black mists that shot towards Oceanid.
"Hmph! Useless!" Oceanid snorted and brandished a metal staff. The anti curse mechanism was active to absorb all curse energy that came to attack until no one else came near.
Oceanid sighed when he saw that the biggest monster in this Apocalyptic Domain was gone. Only one Whalehemoth was left down there.
Unfortunately, he had no time to eliminate the other one due to the time limit.
"Hmm?" Oceanid noticed a large golden object falling from the sky. It was Whalehemoth's horn.
He swung his arm and sent the ten-meter horn flying towards him.
"It's a good achievement object. I can use this to make another curse weapon." Oceanid muttered and inserted the enormous golden horn into his body under his breath. He placed it together with the bones of the previous skeleton dragon in a particular sealed realm.
After that, a trident flew towards him. He caught it quickly, then immediately left the battlefield.
"Are you calm and satisfied? We're out of this domain." Elena asked in a neutral tone.
Oceanid only nodded slightly, and they all exited the Apocalyptic Domain.
"You're battered and slightly contaminated. Plus, you kept the Whalehemoth's golden horn inside you too? Before was that skeleton dragon, and now it's this one. Aren't you afraid you'll be contaminated by a curse from within? It's all unrefined, right? You should have asked Ely or the Goddess of Light to purify those things first." Nell frowned as she flew around Oceanid.
"Am I battered?" Oceanid deactivated his divine battle armor and immediately inspected his body. Sure enough, his hands and feet were blackened from the curse contamination.
"Sigh, we have warned you." Elena glanced at Elysia.
Elysia just nodded and extended her hand to Oceanid's hand. "Excuse me, please don't move."
She did a quick purification to burn away the curse energy contaminating the Sea God's hands and feet.
"Thanks for your help. Now, please give me some buffs. I still need to eradicate one more Whalehemoth." Oceanid appreciated Elysia's help, but he glanced down. More precisely, to the massive whale in a sea of black ink.
"No, you will only be seriously injured if you force yourself to fight against the last horned whale. The Apocalyptic Domain didn't collapse even though you eliminated the biggest whale, and the smaller one is already white-dominant. It's crazy enough to absorb its sibling's remnant energy." Elena shook her head.
"Already dominant in white? But, the anti-curse mechanism has absorbed the previous curse energy, right? How can that creature recharge its magic?" Oceanid widened his eyes in surprise.
"That's only part of the whole thing. There's a lot of invisible energy shooting into the smaller horned whale without you realizing it. If it's like this, allow us to unleash a finisher attack to clear this place." Elena checked the entire Apocalyptic Domain once again.
The thunderstorm was still quite fierce there, and she wanted to quickly complete their mission. That way, they could proceed to the next sealed area.
"What's your plan?" Oceanid frowned. He wanted to eliminate the last Whalehemoth, but the current situation was not favorable.
"You'll find out later." Elena smiled mysteriously and stretched out her hand to grab Elysia's hand. The two of them then flew high into the sky.
"What do they want to do?" Oceanid wondered.
"Just wait and see what will happens. Let's keep a safe distance as I feel that they will be using high-level divine class magic." Nell invited everyone to leave. Her big sister just nodded in response.
Moments later, a golden dome barrier enveloped the entire Apocalyptic Domain, and a mini black sun appeared in the center of the domain.
"What kind of magic is that!?" Oceanid widened his eyes as if he couldn't believe what he saw.
