Chapter 1095 Annihilation Legend
However, just a few days later, outside the second Wailing Barrier, the scene was already like the end of the world.
A surging purple tide—an endless community of void creatures—came in, overwhelming everything.
They were no longer a chaotic frenzy, but rather a terrifyingly coordinated force, like a destructive legion commanded by an invisible will.
One wave after another.
Without fear, it slammed into the towering alloy city wall with ever-growing destructive power.
The sky was completely swallowed by a deep purple curtain, hanging so low it seemed to crush the city walls, creating a suffocating atmosphere of oppression.
A section of the city wall is currently undergoing a hellish ordeal.
Night's Watch warriors, Alliance soldiers, and mercenaries of various races mingled together, using their flesh and blood to build the final bulwark.
"Hold the line! Shieldbearers, hold the line! Mages, focus fire on the armored ones!"
A human captain roared, his voice almost drowned out by the deafening roars, explosions, and clanging of metal.
His armor was covered in claw marks and signs of corrosion, and his left arm hung unnaturally, clearly severely injured, yet he still wielded his one-handed sword, precisely piercing the eye socket of a Void creature resembling a multi-legged sea scorpion that was trying to climb the ramparts.
The foul-smelling purple liquid splattered all over his face, but he didn't care at all. He wiped it away with his hand, his eyes sharp as an eagle's.
Beside him, a dwarf warrior, Ron Stonefist, swung his heavy warhammer, which gleamed with runic light.
"Taste the greetings of Stonefist, you bunch of purple-skinned scum!"
He roared and slammed his hammer down, smashing a monster that had pounced on the shield like a skinned hound into a bloody pulp, head and shoulder.
The impact caused his hand to split open, and blood flowed down the hammer handle. He merely spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva, took out an alchemical potion bottle from the leather pouch at his waist, bit off the stopper with his teeth, poured the pungent green liquid into his mouth, and then poured some onto his bleeding wound.
The medicine worked instantly; the wound stopped bleeding and scabbed over at a visible speed. The weariness in the dwarf warrior's eyes was replaced by a fierce fighting spirit, and he roared and threw himself into battle once more.
"Potion! Does anyone have any healing potions? Lina can't hold on much longer!"
"An elven archer cried out anxiously as he drew his longbow with all his might, his arrow shooting like a meteor toward a crystal cannon crawler in the distance that was gathering energy, in an attempt to interrupt its attack,"
Beside him stood a half-elf warrior named Lina, whose abdomen was ripped open by sharp bone spurs, revealing a deep, bone-revealing wound from which purple, foul blood was seeping out.
Her face was deathly pale, and she clenched her teeth, barely managing to stand by using her sword for support.
The data allows her to still fight, but the piercing pain and the ease brought by the void weaken her.
Her human comrade immediately took a bottle from his last remaining potion, shoved it into her hand, and shouted, "Drink it, Lina! For Aegara! To get back alive!"
Lena trembled as she swallowed the medicine. The intense pain caused her to let out a suppressed groan, but the corrosion and bleeding from the wound noticeably slowed down.
She took a deep breath, "Ahhhhh!"
A fire reignited in his eyes, and he raised his blood-stained sword once more, joining the fight against the Void Imps that were climbing up.
The soldiers shouted at each other, cursing the enemy and encouraging their comrades.
Swords and blades clashed against armor and bones with a sickening sound, magical light exploded into bursts of frost, fire, or lightning in the murky purple mist, and the roar of alchemical firearms was incessant.
Every swing was accompanied by muscle soreness and the throbbing of old injuries; every block caused the tiger's mouth to split open, but no one retreated.
The wounds were quickly treated with the medicine, the pain was forcibly suppressed with roars, and the fatigue was transformed into a deeper resilience with the encouragement of his companions.
On the city walls, blood and fire intertwined, courage and despair clashed, showcasing the most primal and sublime heroism of ordinary people facing the annihilating torrent.
Just as the soldiers on this section of the city wall were fighting valiantly and barely holding their line, a terrifying pressure that could freeze one's soul suddenly descended.
In the sky, a peculiar planktonic creature drifted slowly by. It resembled a giant, translucent purple jellyfish, with countless tentacles shimmering with destructive energy floating beneath its umbrella.
What's even more unsettling is that a twisted entity stands proudly atop it.
It has a huge and ferocious spider lower body, covered with a chitinous carapace that shimmers with a purplish-black metallic luster, and six sharp, arthropod legs that seem capable of easily piercing through steel.
Attached to the spider's torso was a twisted, humanoid upper body with two thick arms and two sharp claws covered in crystals.
Its body and face were covered with cracks flowing with purple energy, and large, sharp purple crystals covered the key parts like armor.
Each of its four arms holds a peculiar longsword wreathed in spatial ripples, a chain hammer dripping corrosive slime, a bone shield covered in spikes, and a scepter topped with an amethyst.
A chilling, destructive aura permeated the air, making the soldiers fighting below gasp for breath and slow their movements.
Level 14 Void Legend!
Its inhuman compound eyes held no emotion, only a pure, destructive desire to break the laws of the material world.
"Bastard! I am your opponent!"
A clear, yet fiercely combative shout echoed across the battlefield.
A figure, accompanied by the force of wind and thunder, shot into the sky from the direction of the city wall command post in an instant.
It is none other than General Lelia of the Abyss!
Her four hooves sank into the air, each step seeming to land on an invisible drumbeat, bursting out with a thunderous roar.
The armor she wore, crafted from the bones of an unknown abyssal behemoth, clung tightly to her centaur body, radiating a chilling aura.
What is even more striking is the blazing soul fire behind her. The flames are not fiery, but rather have a pale and profound quality that freezes the soul, which is the manifestation of her soul rules.
Without hesitation, Lelia, still in mid-air, already had the massive bone longbow in her hand.
She instantly drew back the bowstring, and a rapidly spinning spiral arrow, formed from pure soul energy, shot through the air with a piercing whistle, heading straight for the head of the Void Legend.
The space rippled wherever the arrow passed.
At the same time, she flipped her hands, and two massive swords, as wide as doors and engraved with ancient battle patterns, appeared in her hands.
With its four hooves pounding the void, it transformed into a burning soul meteor, charging fiercely towards its powerful enemy.
"Clang! Clang! Boom—!"
The sky instantly transformed into an arena for two legendary powerhouses.
The Void Legend's four arms swung like the wind, his longsword slicing through space, his chain hammer shattering energy, his bone shield parrying heavy blows, and his scepter drawing forth a tainted purple light.
Its martial arts skills are unparalleled, and what's even more terrifying is that its attacks contain the true meaning of the "combo" rule.
Each block or dodge seemed to build up momentum for the next attack, the movements of the four arms becoming faster and more frequent, like a death storm composed of destructive energy that was constantly tightening.
The relentless rhythm of the attacks, combined with the terrifying power of the void rules, even made Lelia, who wielded two swords and was known for her berserk nature, feel the pressure increase.
They can only rely on the centaur's innate powerful physique, exquisite combat instincts, and the protection of the soul fire to parry and dodge, making it difficult to find an opening to counterattack.
"Roar--!!!"
Unable to break through after a prolonged attack, the fire of her soul suddenly surged in Lelia's eyes.
She let out a roar that shook the very soul.
This is not a physical sound wave, but a resonant sound that directly affects the very essence of the soul. [Soul War Cry]
The Void Legend's weapon-wielding movement froze for an extremely brief moment, a hint of confusion flashing in his compound eyes.
It was this critical, almost fatal, flaw.
Lelia seized the opportunity, her powerful forehooves carrying wind, thunder, and boundless soul power, like two heavy hammers, slamming down on the hastily raised bone shield of her opponent.
"Boom!!!"
Amidst the dull, drum-like impact, cracks spread across the bone shield.
Even more deadly, an overwhelming and unstoppable shockwave of the soul penetrated through the shield and pierced into the body of the Void Legend.
It let out a sharp, piercing, inhuman screech, and its massive spider body was kicked backward by the force, the excruciating pain on its soul level making its movements noticeably sluggish.
Lelia pressed her advantage, her twin swords vanishing instantly, replaced by a large bone shield covered in spikes and a soul longsword burning with pale flames.
She switched between offense and defense, using both sword and shield. The soul fire flickered on the blade, each strike carrying a chill that struck straight to the soul, and each parry causing the soul flames to spread and burn on the Void Legend's weapon.
Although her opponent's martial arts skills remained superb and the rules of the four-arm combo were still dangerous, Lelia's ferocious and precise fighting style, combined with the all-pervasive corrosiveness of her soul attacks, completely turned the tide of the battle.
The two sides once again engaged in a fierce and evenly matched battle. The aftershocks of the energy collision were like divine punishment, directly crushing and evaporating large numbers of low-level void creatures below.
Divine power, overwhelming and devastating.
High above the clouds, Kana hovered silently, his silver pupils reflecting the fierce and agonizing legendary battle below.
He slightly raised his right hand, and on his palm flowed a silver liquid like mercury.
That was the manifestation of his rules and data-driven power.
The power began to flow and recombine silently.
On the battlefield, Lelia, who was forcing back the Void Legend's chain hammer strike with a single sword strike, suddenly shuddered.
She clearly "sensed" it, or rather, her data panel instantly updated its status.
[Divine Gift - The Weight of Judgment]
An indescribable sense of power instantly filled my entire body.
The soul sword and shield in his hands seemed to suddenly become several times heavier, but this heaviness was not a burden, but rather contained a power strong enough to shatter mountains.
Blinding silver lightning spontaneously generated, coiled, and leaped from the edges of the sword and shield, crackling and exploding.
Just as the Void Legend's four arms began to move again, attempting to overwhelm Lelia with an even faster combo—
"break!"
Leilia's eyes flashed with a sharp light as she seized the moment when her opponent's power surged and his old strength had just dissipated while his new strength had not yet been generated.
Her four hooves shattered the void, and the massive skeletal shield, carrying the weight of thunder and mountains, slammed forward like a battering ram.
Boom!!!
The sound of the impact was deafening.
The Void Legend's bone shield could no longer withstand the terrifying impact of the divine power, and instantly shattered into countless fragments! Its massive body, as if struck by a meteorite, plummeted uncontrollably towards the ground at high speed.
Without pausing, Lelia moved with her shield, following her opponent's trajectory as if it were a shadow.
Just as the Void Legend crashed heavily into the ground, crushing a large number of low-level Void creatures into a bloody pulp, and struggled to get up, Leilia had already raised the huge battle halberd wrapped in silver lightning and pale soul flames high above her head.
"Annihilate!"
The halberd, carrying the aura of ruling over all things, tore through the air and pierced with unparalleled precision at the junction of the Void Legend's twisted humanoid body and spider body.
"Pfft—!!!"
Purple blood, brimming with destructive energy, gushed forth like a fountain.
The soul fire and judgment thunder attached to the battle halberd erupted with a roar.
The Void Legend let out an extremely shrill wail as its entire body was torn apart and pierced from the inside out by this force.
Its crystalline carapace shattered like fragile glass under the fire of the soul.
"Roar!!!"
"Long live the Night's Watch! Long live General Leilia!"
"Kill them!"
On the city wall, the soldiers who witnessed this devastating and legendary scene of slaughter instantly erupted into a roar as loud as a mountain.
The atmosphere of despair was swept away, replaced by a boiling, magma-like fighting spirit and morale.
The previously crumbling defensive line seemed to be infused with a steel spine. The soldiers, as if given a shot of adrenaline, roared and slashed down the void creatures that had just climbed onto the city wall. The counterattack surged several times more fiercely in an instant.
Lelia stood in mid-air, slowly drawing out the halberd that was deeply embedded in the enemy's mangled body.
As she gazed at the pale soul flames burning on the tip of the halberd, incinerating the remaining body of the Void Legend and the overflowing destructive energy into ashes, a victorious smile uncontrollably curved her lips.
But then she let out a soft hum, her gaze seemingly casually sweeping across the high-altitude clouds, muttering to herself with a hint of arrogant dissatisfaction.
"Hmph, unnecessary... Even without this little bit of help, tearing it apart would just take a little more time."
She was well aware that Cana's perfectly timed "divine intervention" had allowed this legendary duel to end in the most shocking and morale-boosting way, avoiding the potential for further complications and casualties on her side.
This is absolutely a good thing for the entire battlefield.
She also understood that Kana was bound by the rules and could not directly intervene in the battlefield entities.
However, this "status enhancement" transmitted through the data panel can be interpreted as a divine "blessing" of his devout followers at a critical moment, which falls under the "gray area" permitted by the rules.
After all, those void minions each possess their own destructive void rules; isn't that a form of cheating by the entire void will?
The thought flashed through Leilia's mind, and her eyes sharpened.
Since the other party is not playing by the rules, it is perfectly reasonable for us to provide some 'small' off-field assistance!
She knew that Cana would inevitably use this tactic more often in the future.
This deity suspended above the battlefield will become another invisible weapon for them to fight against the invasion of the void.
She shook off the last bit of ash from her halberd, and with a light step, she landed back on the top of the second Wailing Barrier like a triumphant Valkyrie.
The burning flames of souls illuminated the even fiercer battle below, proclaiming that the cruelty and hope of this apocalyptic war continued. (End of Chapter)
