"Aaaa!"
A turtle's eyes turned red and it screamed in pain.
At the same time, the Abyss Emperor's clone, which was strangely close to that region, suddenly accelerated towards the turtle and punched it with full force.
The three turtles fighting the Abyss Emperor wanted to stop him but the Diamond Duchy's Sovereign's arm exploded and his aura spiked.
With an angry roar, he blocked off the three turtles from pursuing the Abyss Emperor.
BOOM!
BOOM!
BOOM!
With each punch of the Abyss Emperor's clone, the ground under the turtle broke and the turtle's feet were pushed into the ground. It was as if a hammer was beating a nail into the ground.
Abyss Emperor clone's fists blurred and hundreds of punches were delivered to the turtle in a second.
Then a cracking sound spread throughout and the turtle's shell broke.
"No!"
Not caring for Varian's scream, the Abyss Emperor's clone blasted the turtle's head into pieces and ended its life.
By then, the Diamond Duchy's Sovereign was pushed away by the three turtles and confronted by the two turtles assigned to deal with him.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAbyss Emperor himself was once again entangled by the three turtles. And Kreo continued to fight with a turtle.
But with a turtle gone, millions of abyssals were suddenly free.
All of their eyes locked onto Varian.
Varian stretched his weary arms and smiled, "Come!"
With a roar heralding an apocalypse, millions of abyssals attacked one man.
Varian disappeared from his spot and appeared in the middle of the crowd. Unlike the turtles, his size allowed him this move.
And when he did appear in the middle, all the abyssals drowned him in their attacks, without caring for the life and death of the hundreds of abyssals around him.
Varian exhaled softly and snapped his fingers.
To deal with so many enemies, he had to minimize consumption for each kill.
So, the space around the first ten thousand abyssals around him hardened, slowing them down. Then, they were pulled into an illusion that made their actions sluggish.
Finally, ten thousand lightning threads shot out from Varian and pierced through the ears of the abyssals and electrocuted their brains.
It was a brilliant tactic.
Unlike other body parts, electrocution of the brain would result in instant death in sharp contrast to limbs. And since there was no need to pierce heavy defenses to reach the brain via the ear canal, unlike the heart which was well protected, the mana used per attack was far lower.
Once the attacks struck, ten thousand abyssals collapsed powerlessly.
At the same time, millions of attacks reached Varian. Due to the sheer volume and concentration of the attacks, despite them being mostly low and mid-tier awakeners, the space was destabilized.
After some struggle, Varian teleported out of the chaotic space back to the clouds. But in the process, he did get injured and spent way more energy than planned.
"Haaa~" Varian exhaled and glanced at the Abyss Emperor's clone. It was locked in a battle with the three turtles and since it expended a lot of energy on killing a turtle earlier, it was being pushed back continuously.
But Varian could see a faint smile on the corner of its lips as if everything was going according to its plan.
"Even your clone is evil," Varian hissed and swept his hand in the air.
The space in front of him cracked and revealed the abyssals on the ground that were attacking him. After sensing the space crack behind them, they turned around and were eager to attack.
Of course, due to his level, Varian had the advantage of striking first.
So, he did.
Varian's hand glowed blue and tens of thousands of ice bullets condensed in front of him. Then, they shot through the space crack, faster than a bullet, pierced the abyssals' eyes, and froze their brain.
"Argggghh!"
As tens of thousands of abyssals began dying, the attacks of every other abyssal reached the space crack.
Because of the volume and intensity, they ended up killing at least ten thousand abyssals nearby!
Even Varian was dumbfounded by this development. With a smile, he teleported from his current position and once again appeared in the middle of the millions of abyssals.
The abyssals attacks entered the space crack and exploded in the sky.
Right then, Varian began an earnest slaughter of abyssals on the ground. He pulled them into illusions and made them fight each other. He electrocuted or froze their brains. He used invisible telekinetic needles for slaughter.
He exploded the space where the abyssals were in high concentration and the resulting explosion ended up killing tens of thousands.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThanks to his strong body and Plantae powers, Varian was able to bear and heal from the attacks he couldn't avoid.
As time passed, the abyssals tried more and more tactics. But all of them failed miserably as Varian changed his tactics seamlessly and fully utilized his diverse powers.
By now, Sarah and Sia were approaching the end of their battle. They're full of injuries and filled with exhaustion, but their enemies had it worse.
As their victory was finally in reach, they could afford to look at Varian's battlefield.
And what they saw made their jaw drop.
Dark green vines that seemed to be present everywhere were gripping the abyssals. They're not a threat to the abyssals, but they were successfully restraining their movements.
On top of this, the space around them was slightly distorted. It wasn't much, but when they take a step forward, they'd be slightly off the mark.
And then there was a collective illusion. But instead of anything big and exhausting, it was a simple illusion of ice bullets.
The abyssals, already struggling with vines, struggled desperately to dodge the illusions of ice bullets.
Because of the slightly distorted space, they had to be extra careful and everything became much harder.
"Ice bullets…oh!" Sia opened her mouth in surprise as she noticed what was actually going on.
Varian used his lightning power to drag the clouds here. Then, he used his water power to make the vapor into ice bullets.
The ice bullets rained down from the sky and were carefully controlled by telekinetic power and mixed into the illusions.
Like a guided missile, they reached the abyssals and reaped their lives.
Despite the blood flowing into a river and corpses piling up into a mountain, Sia couldn't help but admire the clever use of his powers.
"Beautiful," Sia muttered from the bottom of her heart.
