Chapter 1054 Don''t Kill It!
-----
Everything happened too fast, but Maria and her family knew what to do at the end! They were able to think quickly. And even when Maria was paralyzed by the shock, they quickly came to help her snap out of it, and to shield her. Lucifer, with his enormous and draconic body decided to take the hit head on. His barriers shattered instantly, and he lost three of his heads. The white and ck mes that burned over his body also burned his soul.
He felt how the mes worked, these mes conjured by the God ying Sword fueled themselves by absorbing the target''s Divine mes! The stronger the target''s Divine mes, the stronger the attack power of the God ying Sword became.
Although he was burning more and more, Maria easily resolved the problem. A veil of void ate all the mes away in an instant, and in another second, his heads regrew, and his wounds were healed. Maria since the beginning that had an amazing ability to heal Undead, although not so much with living people. Lucifer, despite all his evolutions, was still counted as her Undead.
"I''ll take care of him, please restraint that monster- I mean, where my brother is! Keep that thing alive, please!"
Her telepathic messages reached everyone''s heads. They immediately nodded in unison. Just as she shed against Hendrick and seemingly killed him, only for his body to regrow anew and a monstrous mass of tendrils, eyes, flesh, and muscles, everyone else noticed the gigantic aberration moving as well.
The chimera made of countless children and people that were experimented with and made into pseudo homunculi. Their unified Demonite Crystal Cores constantly flowed through their aberrant, fused body. It was clear Hendrick had used some sort of demonic power to fuse them aberrantly forcefully just recently.
The horror these people might have felt in these moments must have been tremendous, everyone in the scene could tell.
"OOOOGGGHHH…!"
The gigantic chimera gave a loud scream, its massive arms moved forwards, apanied by the screams of the countless people unified with it. Suddenly, its flesh began to convulse, and from within, dozens after dozens of fleshy monstrosities started separating themselves from it.
And they weren''t normal either, hyper charged with Chaotic Miasmic Energies, they were all between ten to thirty metersrge, rapidly charging towards everywhere. Lucifer, Emeraldine, Partner, Jonathan, Nyx, and everyone else quickly put themselves in front of the iing army.
"Don''t let them escape, if those things run into the city, everyone will die!" Lucifer roared, his nine serpentine heads opening their jaws and releasing breath attacks, vaporizing the monsters.
"Make a barricade, all of you!" Nyx said, ordering a hundred Phantom Dragons she had previously summoned, which quickly flew where there was once a gate and fused together into a multiyered wall.
Meanwhile, Maria''s Undead shed against the iing aberrations, pieces of rotten flesh, blood, bones, and tendrils sttered everywhere as both aberrant armies shed. The creature behind it all was the single thing they couldn''t kill, as it had Maria''s little brother in it, and another 49 people too.
"GRAAAH!"
The thing quickly roared again, extending its tendrils towards everyone, countless tentacles appeared, pointing themselves towards everyone and firing spheres of miasma.
"Careful!"
Emeraldine detected they were a deadly attack, quickly assembling barriers made of light and wood, as the spheres reached them, explosions of dark miasma erupted one after another.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
"How do we deal with this?!" Partner asked. "Should we neutralize it, but how?"
"We can''t hurt it too much; we might risk destroying the original bodies!" Emeraldine held off as the explosions came.
"Then maybe sealing it?" Jonathan suggested. "By using sealing chains magic, it might be possible temporarily seal its movements, or even its ability to move."
"We can try that, yeah." Partner nodded, as she moved through the battlefield, swinging her spear and destroying the mini aberrations as they came. "But how? And will it hold on enough?"
"We''ll need to first weaken it a bit. We might have to just risk damaging the original bodies a bit. But Emeraldine can heal it backter, right?" Lucifer asked.
"Lucifer…" Emeraldine felt slightly conflicted, if they did just that, wouldn''t Maria get upset? However, it wasn''t as if Maria was here right now. She was now fighting Hendrick, and the time was dire. "Very well!"
Although the monster producing aberration didn''t seem stronger than an S+++ Rank Boss, and the group here could have easily in it, that wasn''t the n at the end. If they were to do that, the people merged together would all end up dying, and that wasn''t something Maria would have wanted. After all, everyone took her request seriously.
"Then let''s begin! Tear, please freeze its limbs so it can''t move so easily!" Said Emeraldine. "Laura, Takeshi, can you help Tear do that? Especially Takeshi! Laura you can clean the area around them with your magic."
"Got it!" Laura nodded.
"Alright!" Takeshi said.
"I''ll do what I can!" Tear said.
The trio quickly rushed into battle. Takeshi expanded his ocean domain, Laura destroyed the iing mini aberrations, and Tear expanded her frost with the aid of the endless oceanic water produced by Takeshi.
At the same time, Fabian''s groupbined with Catarina and Silva battled the other half of the army of mini aberrations. Emeraldine gave them a simr task as well. She knew that some of Fabian''s friends had special abilities and elements that could of some help.
"Fabian and Catarina''s group, try to y as many of the smaller monsters as you can! Attempt to restrain the frozen limbs so they don''t free themselves so easily!"
"Got it!" They roared in unison. n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om
Catarina roared, rushing forwards first, and charging against all the aberrations. Her fiery phantasmal body was the embodiment of battle. After having be a powerful battle ghost simr to Maria inposition, but much different, she felt like she had been reborn.
"Move aside, you little shits! RAAAH!"
Her fists moved rapidly, leaving behind crimson blood mes, with her endlessly shapeshifting, incorporeal body, she could take almost any shape, grow as many limbs as she wanted, and fight even more fiercely than before.

Meanwhile, Jonathan was standing in front of it, channeling his strongest sealing spell!
As she cleared the way for those behind her to advance, frost spread through the floor, slowly freezing the monster''s limbs.
BAAM! BAAM! BAAM! BAAM!
