<h4>Chapter 1991 A Battle To Defend What Is Left</h4>


    -----


    With theirbined efforts, the Insectoid King was overwhelmed. Its huge body was restrained by Meiji''s specialbination of divine techniques and spirit magic using his newly reborn spirits powers, and his friends, the heavy hitters, mmed the beast''s core until it started to shatter. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om


    Crack… crack… CRACK!


    "NOW!"


    All their weapons pointed into the huge cracks at once, the impact was too much, the monstrous creature gave a loud scream before perishing, as its core shattered.


    CRAAASH!


    "GRYYYSHAAAA…!"


    Its entire body started to crumble down into pieces, incapable of sustaining its own size anymore without the spiritual energy coursing through its body constantly.


    "W-We did it!" Kizuato said.


    "Amazingly done, Meiji! Without your help it wouldn''t had been possible!" Yukanughed.


    "Your Spirits have grown stronger too." Jinsoku pointed out.


    "Yeah, we did it together as family!" Laughed Goruden.


    "Everyone…" Meiji felt slightly moved. "Yeah! But for now, let''s not get to cocky, there''s too many for that!"


    Everyone gathered together once more, confronting the swarms of smaller Insectoid Spirit Beasts. Some in the distance were already nning to fuse into yet another Insectoid King to overwhelm them…


    As their smaller bodies slowly began to converge together, suddenly, a lightning-fast figure emerged from below, leaping into the skies and slicing through the fusing insectoids with a sharp lightning katana!


    "[Divine Thunder Lord''s de Arts]: [Thunder Dragon''s Descent]!!!"


    His entire body unleashed a tremendous quantity of divine lightning all at once, materializing and fusing together into a gigantic Thunder Dragon, roaring furiously, and flying towards the still forming Insectoid King!


    "ROOOOAARRRRGH!"


    BOOOOOOOMMMM…!


    The dragon engulfed the swarm into a huge explosion of thunder, countless cracks spreading across their bodies at once, shattering apart and dying on the spot, before they could evenplete theirbination.


    CRAAAASSSH…!


    "Phew, that was close."


    It was nobody else than Raito, of course, whonded on the floor and gave out a relieved sigh. His sharp golden eyes ncing into the distance as his lightning katana continued sparkling with electricity.


    "It''s much better to deal with the problem before it happens than once it has been formed after all!"


    Another figure appeared, Pmi, with her long blonde hair, pale white skin, and wearing a shin white armor while flying in midair using her angelic wings made of light, shed through another swarm attempting to fuse together!


    "[Divine Pdin Lord''s de Arts]: [Hegemony Celestial Ascent]!"


    Gathering all her almighty divine light aura into her Divine Light Greatsword, Pmi swung it vertically, unleashing a devastating ascending sh that erupted into a gigantic beam of light, burning, and vaporizing the insectoids while fusing, in their weakest point!


    SLAAAAAAASSSH!


    Their bodies shattered into pieces, or turned into ashes, falling as nothing but small debris from the skies, Pmi quickly continued flying across the skies after that, shing away her sword and eliminating any monsters in the vicinity.


    She apanied Raito from above, watching over him, all while their big friend, Asure, was rushing across the snowyndscape with his enormous body, letting the insectoids swarm him at the same time in a simr fashion to Truhan and Celica, and then ying them all!


    "[Divine Quake Lord''s Hammer Arts]: [Earth-Shattering Seismic Smite]!"


    CRAAAAAASSSSH…!


    With a single swing of his gigantic hammer, Asure released a tremendous seismic wave that pulverized the beasts around him, all while his body shapeshifted, growing giant spikes of metal that crushed even more of these damned insects…


    "Come on, we have to hurry, Asure! Hurry!" Said Raito. "The Ice Gods are having a hard time, looks like!"


    "Don''t mock them, Raito." Pmi said with a serious tone of voice. "They''re doing their best, after having their entire Realm devastated, can''t you empathize with their suffering?"


    "I-I do! Of course I do! Come on, don''t get angry at me now, I was just trying to lighten the mood!" Raito felt slightly guilty now…


    "Well, then, show your resolve as we help them!" Pmi shone as bright as the sun, flying downwards andnding over a huge Insectoid Spirit Beast in the shape of a Praying Mantis, which was Rank 7!


    Gathering her Spiritual Energy and fusing it with her Divinity of Holy Light, Holy Sword, and Pdins, she created brand-new techniques!


    Her Aura erupted like the shine of the sun itself, shaping into a hundred swords of light which she fired down like a judgement of a goddess from heaven.


    "[Divine Pdin Lord''s de Arts]: [Sunshine Spiritual de Rain]!"


    FLASH! FLASH! FLASH! FLASH! FLASH!


    The des descended rapidly, piercing through the praying mantis-like Insectoid and tearing its body into pieces before it were to finish off a wounded Ice Elf God whose armor had broken apart.


    CRASH! CRASH! CRASH! CRAAASH!


    "GRYYAARGH…!"


    The beast fell into the floor, quickly dying on the spot. The Ice Elf man opened his eyes wide in shock as he saw Pmi descending from the skies with her body shining as bright as the sun, and her wings… she resembled a beautiful angel!


    "A-An angel…" He muttered.


    "Are you alright?!" Pmi pped his face to wake him up, thinking he was about to pass out.


    "Uwack! I''m fine! Ugh… You''re not an angel at all…"


    The man tarted sobbing, even though that p also healed his wounds through Pmi''s Healing Light Magic.


    "Good, then stay with us! We cannot disperse too much, or the Swarm will end up consuming uspletely." She said.


    At the same time, from above, Raito descended and shed apart several Insectoid Scarabs that were harassing a few other wounded Ice Gods.


    "Heree''s the protagonist!" Heughed. "[Divine Thunder Lord''s de Arts]: [Lightning Tempest]!"


    Countless lightning-fast shes of electricity pierced through all the beasts at once, while generating a storming tempest of electricity and winds, overwhelming all monsters, and pushing them away with ease.


    SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! BOOOOM!


    Finishing with a cool explosion, the Thunder Lord stepped in, saving the Ice Gods while giving out a rather cocky smirk.


    "Are you guys alright?"


    Raito extended his hand as he helped the Ice Gods stand back up, they all sighed in relief, thanking him for his aid.


    "Thank you… When the barriers broke, we couldn''t escape in time…"


    "Ugh, thanks…"


    "You have our eternal gratitude…"


    And while this happened, a few dozen meters away, a huge pr bear was fighting a swarm alone.


    "RAAAAAAHHH! Fordy Lazuli!"


    CRAAAAASSSH!
