Chapter 861 Loosening Up! (4)
The uncaring bolt of concentrated Levin saw the large vessel that had been populated by tens of powerful experts before they met a swift demise, cry amid the swirling waves, and dip from the middle!
Everything was turned bright again, with barely any visibility afforded, especially for one of the two currently being smitten by the ferocious attack!
The vessel buckled, overwhelmed.
In all truth, the great ships provided by the Emissary were excellent vessels with incredible defensive properties.
The umbrella-shaped shield over the deck was resilient to attacks, and Replicus had theorized that it would take at least several seconds for the CURRENT Titan World Storm to break through it, time he didn't have when facing an Incandescent Stager.
Therefore, when he changed the target of the Titan World Storm to himself – his location on the enemy ship – he impressively created a pathway that bypassed the shield entirely, using a continuous activation of Spatial Lightning and Stagnant Space!
Visible now – to those with keen sight – the umbrella-shaped glow over the ship was still intact, though below and under it, was a dark void that let through the blast of Levin!
This method was also the reason why Pherdanta had appeared on the enemy's ship unnoticed.
The blonde Incandescent Stager screamed at the top of his lungs as his armour was destroyed; first torn and then superheated into liquid!
It barely lasted four seconds under the electric onslaught!
The woman in the glass armour would have loved to yell for her master and teleport to his location with the properties of her armour, but her position had become jumbled when the ship was smitten by the Titan World Storm. She didn't know which way was where, and who was what, and the bright highlights only made things worse.
Pherdanta was different though.
Even with the discombobulation of sight and sound, and sensation, she could sense her master, after all, her armour was made by him and several of its functions made it easier for her to find him, like Limited Granted Warp.
Even without this, her mana manipulation allowed her to pinpoint where the Levin was hitting the hardest.
And right there...
"I direct the storm. Where the Levin hits is where I am, and where I am, is where the enemy is..." Replicus had said.
Which meant...
Pherdanta packed her large sword in the sheath on her waist, and pointed her hand towards the fierce downpour.
Two of her fingers pointed in that direction, and then she cried:
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Aggrante!"
Unlike before... unlike a mere Singlefold Aggrante, the might behind the Doublefold variant demanded Pherdanta to have a firm centre of gravity, otherwise she would be blown away by the force.
She did this to the best of her ability, but the thick laser which blasted violently from the ends of her index and middle fingers, its glaring light giving a dark contrast to the surroundings, was unbelievably ruthless!
It disintegrated the deck, everything under it, the barrier above it, and the glass armour adorning beauty who was unlucky enough to be in its way as it then smashed through the pillar of Levin!
Yet...
Also lost in the bright cast of the Levin was Grim, who was gliding over the waters a bit far from the blonde Incandescent Stager's great ship.
He pointed his fingers at the location he had been told, his two fingers outstretched towards it, and yelled:
"Aggrante!"
The white-haired Unlimited was sent surfing on the curling waves, but he maintained the direction of the tubular laser that spilled with immense force from his fingers!
"ARRRRGGGGGHHHH!"
An agonising scream was drowned in the onslaught.
Where the pillar from the dark skies met two others droning from opposite sides, the blonde-haired expert's skin began to burn furiously, his sides getting eaten away rapidly.
A failing cerulean neon glow was stuck to his body, helplessly fragmenting because of the two Aggrantes in particular!
The pain was atrocious.
The man could barely think.
The only reason he was still alive was because his Stage enhanced his physical prowess immensely.
Yet that was barely doing him any good.
The one stuck behind him on the other hand, Bright Storm... had sustained no damage whatsoever.
Neither the Levin, nor the Aggrantes could harm him.
The blonde-haired man couldn't see it, but he was standing back to back with a dark skeleton decked in furious storm clouds, for Replicus had removed his armour, which was susceptible to damage, unlike his body.
How could Levin harm the Titan World Storm Penetrator, the greatest in the Penetrator series at handing Levin?
How could Null Life Essence and mana fused together harm a Null Lifeform with impeccable control over both?!
Replicus turned over his shoulder.
'I didn't think it'd kill him immediately, but he's way more resilient than I thought. And he only has a blue core...' he thought.
Unfortunately, his expenditure was already tremendous, especially with the 'cheating' he had employed with a skill above his current level mana-wise.
Therefore...
The brilliant glow from the Titan World Storm vanished abruptly. A moment after it did, Pherdanta and Grim stopped firing Aggrante.
"When I stop, you do too, and retreat, regardless of the result," Replicus had told them.
And thus, they vanished from their positions.
Replicus donned his armour in an instant and turned behind him.
He and the blonde-haired expert were now submerged in the ocean, as the waters began to rise up again.
The latter looked absolutely pitiful.
His arms were reddish black, burnt blood and bone and destroyed flesh showing from them. Both his sides were open, giving a glimpse of what was inside him, a lot of which was locked under the white hue of mana.
The man's head rose. His face looked a lot less damage, but his lustrous hair was mostly gone.
A dark, murderous look spawned in his eyes as he looked up at the Penetrator.
Replicus snorted audibly, even within the water.
"Let's end this elsewhere, shall we?" he said.
Without warning, the waters beside the blonde-haired Faction leader bubbled, making way for something that emerged among them.
It was a ball of darkness as large as the blonde-haired man!
...!!!
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBefore he could even attempt to comprehend what this was, the blonde-haired expert felt a force so vicious that it pushed him away from the bone, blood and skin!
In a blink, he was rattled to find himself hundreds of meters from the closing whirlpool, skidding over the surface of the water!
"What was that?" he thought with dread while gathering his wits.
The attacks he had received so far were impossible to block with Perfect Aura.
Mobilising his Nitros by converting his mana hadn't been something he could do while receiving those brutal attacks, but now...
A white glow, like a solid shade of paint wrapped around the man as he sweated profusely, starting from his head and legs.
But...
BOOOOOOOM!
A fraction of a moment later, a staggering force caused the oceans to churn and quake, as though a whole whale had dove into them from the skies!
The blonde-haired Incandescent Stager shook.
A fist with stars over it had sunk into his chest right before the rest of his body could be covered by Nitros.
"That will do," Replicus said, his horned helmet pressing against the blonde-haired Incandescent Stager's, shocked, pale face.
The man looked down at his chest.
How in the world had he been done in by a single punch?
An Incandescent Stager dying by physical assault from someone weaker?
That was unheard of!
With his eyes bulging, the man attempted to mutter something while raising his hands to lock them together.
"Ma...maj..Maje..."
However...
"That won't do."
The same odd force the Faction leader felt in the waters from the large orb that appeared beside him, ripped apart his organs from the inside, beginning with his punctured heart... and then everything else.
