Chapter 876 - Charge!
The glowing Indestructible Giant let out an earth-shattering roar.
He jumped over the hill; leaping high into the air before crashing down into the middle of the horde of monsters like a meteorite.
Boom!!!
A giant crater that was several miles in radius was formed starting where the giant landed.
Every creature in the vicinity was unable to balance themselves and fell down, unable to stand back up.
The crash created shockwaves that formed intense rampaging storm winds, tossing the fierce horde of monsters like ragdolls in every direction.
Wherever the wind swept through, the monsters on the ground would be blown into a cloud of blood and flesh.
Some particularly defensive monsters managed to endure the wind for a while.
They had a natural-born talent that provided them absolute defense against a single type of power of their choosing.
But this time, things were different.
The Indestructible Giant’s crash included the full power of 30 different Soul Artifacts, so the rampaging wind had been infused with these chaotic energies to create a terrifying power that these monsters couldn’t rely on their talent to resist.
Even the defense-specialist monsters couldn’t help but be slowly scraped away by the wind bit by bit until they were completely erased.
And this was only the aftermath of shockwaves created by the impact.
Every monster that stood at the direct center of the crater was thoroughly erased by the giant’s crash, not leaving a single drop of blood behind.
Domf! Domf! Domf! Domf!
The heavy sound of footsteps resounded from below the crater.
A large hand appeared at the edge of the deep hole, followed by the giant’s head, torso, and legs.
He had climbed up.
Domf! Domf! Domf!
Domf! Domf! Domf! Domf! Domf! Domf! Domf!
The giant’s footsteps that caused the ground itself to shake slowly sped up as he headed towards the center of the Desolate monsters’ rank.
The giant was becoming increasingly faster, quickly surpassing the speed of a cultivator’s flight.
The monsters kept raining their attacks on the Indestructible Giant as he charged forward, but the giant didn’t care at all.
The giant was an Indestructible entity, spells and magic were useless against him, so only powerful physical attacks could actually hurt him.
But he carried a gigantic metal sword in his hand while being supplied various combative powers by the glowing light behind his back.
Whenever the giant swung his sword, the void of space itself was cut open, all the monsters that stood in his way were completely decimated and mowed down without being able to retaliate.
None of the monsters were the giant’s match.
The Desolate race’s commander noticed the situation on this side.
『 Turn your attacks, remove that giant! 』
The commander shouted in Desolate Tongue.
Several Desolate legions turned their directions towards the Indestructible Giant.
They were the elite troops of the Desolate race!
As soon as they moved away, humanity’s frontlines became a lot more relaxed.
It was time to test the giant’s mettle.
As the giant observed the Desolation legions heading for him, he cautiously halted.
He turned around and looked behind.
The cultivators of humanity’s vanguard battalion had already been left far behind.
“You are too slow”
The giant spoke with its echoing loud voice.
“You were too fast! You need to wait for us!”
The human General shouted in reply with excitement in his voice.
The giant turned away and glanced towards the Desolate legions charging at him.
Against this overwhelming tidal of monsters and death, even the Indestructible Giant’s towering figure appeared tiny.
The giant didn’t attack just yet.
He raised his sword and formed a stance.
The two sides would soon clash.
As the Desolate legion crashed down on him, the Indestructible Giant used a surprisingly flexible footwork and movement technique to retreat.
His sword continued to slash at the monsters while maintaining a set distance from the tidal of monsters.
There was obviously a distance of 10 feet between his sword and the frontmost monsters.
But with each swing of the sword, a group of monsters would be erased.
Secret Art, [Life Seeker]
[When you are within 10 feet of an opponent, your sword attacks can hit them from a distance]
[Note: This Secret Art can be used in conjunction with other Secret Arts]
[Within ten feet, I seek out your life and extinguish it]
The Indestructible Giant continued to retreat all the way until he was right in front of the human cultivators.
During this process, his sword swung in the air seven times in a row at a speed that was neither slow nor fast and directly negated the monsters’ charging momentum.
For a brief moment, an empty area was formed between the two sides.
The human General of the vanguard battalion was the first to step forward and loudly declared: “You did well, now it’s our turn”
He turned to his subordinates.
“Kill them!”
“The situation had turned around, now it’s our turn to strike!”
“General, give your order”
The troop’s morale was raised to its limit as they raised their weapons high.
Seeing this, the General felt a bit more assured.
He shouted: “Brothers——-”
historical
“Wait”
The giant spoke with his thunderous voice and cut him off.
The General was stunned, looked up to the Indestructible Giant, and solemnly asked: “What is it?”
“I’ve only performed seven strikes, there’s still one last strike. After that, you can charge”
The giant answered seriously.
“One last strike?” the General doubtfully asked.
He couldn’t help but observe the giant’s several-dozen-meter-long metal sword.
Layers upon layers of power were manifested on top of the sword.
Several dozen layers of different powers, combined with the giant’s own Elemental Lightning gave the sword unimaginable power.
Even the void of space didn’t want to touch the sword directly as it was staying a constant distance away from it to let the power exuding from the sword scattering into other dimensions.
The giant looked straight at the oncoming legions of Desolate monsters and appeared significantly more cautious.
These are the elite troops of the enemy, I have to eliminate them all in order to truly cause the direction of this war to shift.
The Indestructible Giant held the sword with both hands as he silently formed the sword seals in his mind.
The next strike would be the last of the Secret Art.
This was a series of 8 consecutive strikes, if any of these strikes were to miss, the Secret Art would be interrupted.
Secret Art, [Seven Stars Flowing Dragon]!
The sword in the giant’s hand swung down towards the horde of monsters in front of him.
A blinding pillar of light abruptly manifested in this world.
In front of this light, all other power seemed meaningless.
Even the two terrifying entities above the cloud stopped their battle.
This power was enough for them to be cautious of.
Everyone on the ground went blank for a brief moment.
And then, they saw what had manifested.
A 5-colored divine dragon created from 30 different types of pure power.
Rather than saying that it was manifested from the giant sword, it would be more accurate to say that the sword had summoned it with its swing.
The 5-colored dragon appeared to be sentient as it circled around the entire battlefield.
Everyone held their breaths and watched as this entity that seemed to have came out from the legends moved around for a few moments before flying back into the void of space and vanished.
This scene was so magnificent that even the Indestructible Giant himself felt stunned.
A few moments later.
A gust of wind blew past.
The Indestructible Giant turned towards the General of the vanguard battalion and told him: “Alright, my strike is over, you can charge forward now”
The General regained his senses.
He looked at the battlefield all around himself and couldn’t help but mutter: “Where do you want us to charge now?”
In front of him, all the Desolate monsters on the battlefield were gone.
Yep, completely clean, not a single one left, as if they simply vanished from this world without leaving a trace.
The ground was vast, open, and completely empty without a single living being to be seen.
