Chapter 514 - Pure Destruction (1)

Tigers, bears, birds, horses, deers, lizards.

Countless magical beasts of all kinds rushed towards Bloed, Liu Ying, Eres, and Elwha. The magical beasts looked like a flood of monsters seeking to devour Bloed's group.

And behind these beasts, the Saint of the Church of Slaughter was advancing calmly with a relaxed smile on his face. He had the confidence of someone who had everything under control.

"Finish it quickly." He said to the two beasts behind him, a wolf and a monkey.

Both of them were demigod-level magical beasts, and one of the reasons why the saint was so confident.

The two beasts nodded and charged towards the battlefield.

"Brother, I will take care of the wolf. You don't need to worry about it."

"... Leave the monkey to me. I can stall it, but not for long. Two minutes at most, and I will be defenseless during that time."

Bloed nodded at Eres and Elwha. "Two minutes is enough. Don't worry, I have a plan. Liu Ying, you help me to control the other beasts."

Eres, Elwha, and Liu Ying nodded.

Eres was the first to charge. Transparent flames surged around her body, burning her mana and increasing her power greatly.

[Absolute Ignition]!

Eres did not hesitate to use her greatest trump card from the start. She knew that if she tried to conserve her strength, the most likely result would be a failure and her death or the death of her friends.

In an instant, she appeared in front of the wolf demigod as her sword clad in transparent flames slashed down.

The flames on Eres's sword made the wolf feel terrified. It instinctively knew that it could not allow the flames to touch him, otherwise, he would die.

Thus, it leaped aside, evading Eres's attack as it released several wind blades toward the black-haired princess.

Meanwhile, Princess Elwha closed her eyes and extended her senses towards the battlefield, quickly locating the soul fluctuations of the demigod monkey.

"Sleep!" She stated.

Following her voice, her soul power extended toward the monkey and engulfed its soul.

It was a technique that she recently learned, called [Dream Immersion]. Through this technique, she could immerse her opponents into a dream and confine them there.

The requirements on soul power to cast this technique were very heavy, and normally, only demigods could learn it, but Elwha's soul power was stronger than normal due to the Heart of the Forest, plus, Regina's training on the [Soul Severing Blade] also strengthened her soul power, allowing her to barely meet the requirements of this technique.

Even so, using this technique on a demigod as an A-Rank practitioner was foolish.

As soon as the demigod monkey felt the intrusion of Elwha's soul power, its soul started to struggle fiercely, making Elwha's face turn pale as blood slid out of her nose.

The clash against the soul of the monkey caused heavy injuries to her soul. The pain of her soul being injured almost made her scream.

But she bit her lips and endure the pain without letting out a sound. She promised Bloed two minutes, and she was not planning to give up before that.

Just like that, the two demigod magical beasts were stopped. Even so, the situation was not good for Bloed's group.

There were still dozens, or perhaps hundreds, of magical beasts rushing towards them.

Bloed's eyes gleamed coldly. He ordered Leto to turn into a circle of metallic sand around them and entangle the magical beasts that came near. At the same time, part of the metallic sand turned into two magical guns that fell into Bloed's hands as he unleashed fire on the magical beasts.

Liu Ying, on the other hand, stood in front of Bloed and released her aspect. Whenever a magical beast approached, she attacked with her fists, killing several magical beasts with each blow.

Finally, there was Oculus in the sky, providing support fire whenever it was necessary.

The situation stabilized quickly, with Eres and Elwha stalling the demigods and Bloed and Liu Ying facing the horde of magical beasts. Although the situation was overwhelmingly disadvantageous for Bloed's group, surprisingly, it seemed like they could endure for several minutes.

The Saint of the Church of Slaughter frowned.

Even though he knew that Bloed and the others could not keep this struggle for long, his experiences facing them made him uneasy. Plus, he did not know if Regina had a way to escape from the Sun God. If she managed to escape the Sun God and arrived at this battlefield, he would be in trouble.

"If you want a job done right, do it yourself." The saint clicked his tongue and took one step forward.

Immediately, the darkness squirming in his shadow surged forward.

Terrifying monstrosities appeared from the shadow. Beings with twisted limbs and several heads filled with sharp teeth roared as they were released into the world.

The terrifying monsters dashed towards Bloed and the others, making bloodthirsty smiles as they growled in glee after finding food.

"Dammit." Bloed cursed. As expected, it was not going to be easy.

He had the hope that the saint would underestimate them, giving him time to put his plan into action, but it seemed that he was not planning to underestimate them again.

'It doesn't matter. As long as we endured for a bit more, I will be ready.'

"Fuck, what is this!?" Liu Ying shouted with a pale face as one of the shadow monsters tried to entangle her. Bloed hurriedly provided support with one of his guns, forcing the monster to retreat.

Simultaneously, two shadow monsters bolted towards the defenseless Elwha.

"I won't allow it."

With a thought, he ordered Oculus to create a curtain of energy bullets around Elwha, effectively stopping the shadow monsters.

However, it ended up revealing Oculus's location, and several flying monsters attacked it.

Bloed gritted his teeth and ordered it to continue protecting Elwha.

Even if Oculus ended up being destroyed, Elwha's life was more important.

Just then, Eres's voice resounded through the battlefield.

"[World Burning Meteors]!"

Following her words, a magic circle appeared. It was a demigod-grade spell!

***BOOM!!!***

Dozens of balls of transparent flames rained on the battlefield, killing several magical beasts instantly and making the shadow monsters retreat in terror.

Just this spell alone killed as many monsters as Bloed and Liu Ying combined.

But such a powerful spell consumed a staggering amount of mana, leaving Eres panting.

The Saint of the Church of Slaughter appeared at that moment.

With an ice-cold expression, he extended his hand clad in shadows towards Eres.

Eres's pupils constricted in fear. An immense feeling of danger assaulted her.

Instinctively, she gathered as many transparent flames as she could in front of her to stop the attack.

But that created an opening for the wolf demigod.

*Bam!*

A wind bullet impacted Eres's abdomen, hurling her in Bloed's direction and making her vomit a mouthful of blood.

Almost simultaneously, Elwha groaned.

"Ugh."

She held her head feebly and collapsed on the ground, barely conscious.

"It's the end." The Saint of Slaughter stated indifferently.

Bloed looked at him calmly. Then, his lips curved up.

"Exactly two minutes. Leto, barrier, now!"

The metallic wolf obeyed its owner instantly and turned into a dome around Bloed's group.

At the same time, Bloed activated his strongest defensive ability, creating a layer of disintegrating energy around his group.

[Door of Nothingness]!

At that moment, an intense feeling of danger assaulted the Saint of Slaughter.

Following his instincts, he looked up, only to see a metallic object descending from the sky.

"What is–!?"

Before he could finish his words, the metallic object hit the ground.

Then–

*BOOOMMMM!!!*

A terrifying explosion shook the forest as a ball of fire quickly expanded in all directions.

In seconds, it devoured kilometers of forest, consuming everything in its path and leaving only ashes and a mushroom cloud behind.

For the first time since he left the spaceship, Bloed used the most destructive weapon in his arsenal.

He released a bomb from the satellite orbiting the planet.
