Chapter 1333: Trapped Hero
?
An found himself fighting alone against the crystal miasmic aberration, a Tier 10 monstrosity that could shift through the endless corridors of miasmic crystal and manipte everything to its will. This was the Evil God of Dungeon''s second trump card, a massively powerful monster made from these very caves, fueling endlessly from its powers.
It was the very origin of all the clonesing out of the walls, and as the group progressed through the corridors, it quickly revealed its true form, chasing them and aiming to bait An to fight it instead of apanying the rest of the children.
Indeed, the Evil God was quite cunning, aiming to separate father and daughter just like he had done many times before, especially in Sylphy''s first encounter with a Demon Lord, the giant skeleton that had overwhelmed Sylphy and Aquarina and almost killed them both.
The truth was, that even as they lived their lives peacefully, the Evil God of Dungeons knew very well of the threat that Sylph was for him, even more the heroes, and couldn''t simply waste this opportunity to take them down.
From a small mistake, the dungeon ended triggering a much more dangerous event, one that threatened everyone''s lives.
"GRUOOHHH!"
The gigantic crystal aberration roared with utmost fury, rushing towards An and shing against his sword with its countless scythe-like arms.
An ferociously attacked back, swinging his giant zing sword and unleashing countless explosive shing attacks, while blocking and parrying the monster''s blows.
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
"{zing Spirit Storm}!"
Once the monster''s entire body was pierced dozens of times, An unleashed a st of spiritual mes from his hands, trying to bomb the entire thing into ashes.
BOOOM!
The monster exploded and shattered into countless pieces, its pieces turned mostly into ashes, as silence quickly befell the entire corridor.
"Hahh... Is that it?"
An wondered, looking around in confusion. He had no time to waste though, the presence in the end of the corridor was tremendously strong, and he simply couldn''t let Sylphy and the rest fight that thing alone.
Even less when the Felicia with them was only her Homunculi, not the real deal!
"I have to hurry!"
He quickly stepped towards where Sylphy and the rest had gone, his conviction set into saving everyone, unable to realize the creeping wsing from behind him.
From the ceiling, floor, and walls...
"Ugh?!"
The moment he heard them moving, it was almost toote, they shed against his body, pummeling him down several times, trying to shred him to pieces, trying to infect him with miasma, and more!
"It isn''t dead?!"
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
An ferociously shed them apart with his zing sword and then generated a shockwave of mes, blowing away the crystalline ws once more, only to be greeted by a gigantic set of jaws above him.
"What?!"
The gates opened, releasing a powerful breath attack against him,posed mostly entirely out of pure ck miasmic mes, his entire body took it head-on, unable to respond in time as he was fighting and defending from dozens of attacksing from everywhere.
BOOOM!
The explosion sent his body flying, as An felt a small wound on his back, which quickly started festering due to the miasma, making him grow weaker!
"It harmed me...!" he thought. "Just how strong is that thing?! {Phoenix Healing mes}!"
An conjured Phoenix Healing mes, covering his wounds with them, and quickly purifying the miasma while closing his wounds rapidly, right in time for giant spears of purple, red, and ck crystalsing his way.
"Not anymore, bastard," An grew serious. "{Smander''s Breath}!"
A giant head of a zing smander surged from his Spiritual Aura, blowing up all the spears before they came.
BOOOM! BOOOM!
But right after that, more emerged, giant ws rushing to impale his body, a dozen more spears, and another giant jaw charging yet another breath attack of their own.
"The coordination is way too much!" Smander said. "An, I believe you''re not just fighting several of these monsters...!"
"What? What do you mean?!" An asked.
"It is pretty obvious, this monster... It''s the entire damn cave, this gigantic nest, the Miasmic Nest itself made of crystalized miasma!" Phoenix said.
"What?!"
An had his doubts about this creature, but to think that the entire nest, a gigantic structure that was over five hundred metersrge, was actually a single living being...
It was a terrifying thought!
"Would make sense why it''s so damn strong!"
An covered most of his body with Phoenix Wingsing from his Aura, as countless explosions bombarded him, which he easily tanked with the powers of Phoenix.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
"RAAAH!"
He roared mighty, quickly swinging his zing de again, unleashing explosions of spiritual holy mes that purified the crystals for a split second, giving him enough time to regain his footing and continue turning them into ashes, digging through them.
"If I can''t beat that thing individually, then I''ll start turning everything into ashes!" An continued carving through everything, giant Smander ws and Phoenix Talons appeared above his head, made out of his zing aura, tearing through the endlessbyrinth
of crystals!
At the same time, he was being chased by these monstrosities, drawing, and creeping closer with each passing second. Sometimesing right from his front, the left, right, or above!
"{zing Sword Domain}!"
FLUOSH!
An activated his Domain Ability, spreading a mighty domain made of endless fire des, which he fired towards all directions, bombarding the iing attacks.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
As those attacks turned to ashes, he continued digging through the miasmic nest, realizing
that the crystals were trying to regenerate at a ridiculous speed!
"What! It''s regenerating already?! This is ridiculous! Dammit, Sylphy!"
An was worried sick about his daughter, but he had to either prioritize taking care of this monstrosity or go help his daughter, and risk making this thing chase them.
After all...
"I believe this thing has a soul of its own, one which is concentrating within this area around you!" said Phoenix. "It might not be annoying Sylphy and the rest, it has fully concentrated
its powers on defeating you."
"I can tell...!" An sighed. "But it''s good to know they''re not bothering my family."
Then the Hero smiled, as countless clones of himself made of the walls'' crystals rushed
towards him.N?v(el)B\\jnn
"That means I can go all-out without worrying."
A zing white and golden me zed with intensity within his Heart.
