Chapter 153 - Swastika
The dense forest behind him rustled, and piranha flowers surrounded him. Colorful flowers bloomed on the green flesh wall, and countless more piranha flowers were generated to join the battle. Even the passage the team came through was blocked by countless barriers composed of green walls!
"Everyone, prepare to fight!"
In an instant, Finn, as the command tower, issued the battle order.
"Ais, that guy is no longer a fairy. He has degenerated into a monster driven only by instincts. Don't let his skills affect you!"
Link turned around and tightly grasped Ais's hands, shouting in her face.
"Finn, I will come in later and use a very powerful skill that can affect you. Remember to be on guard!"
Link left another bag of recovery potions for Agnis and the others. Then he turned around without hesitation, faced forward, sank his body, twisted his waist, unsheathed his sword, and struck out with a slash that concentrated all his strength.
"This is it!"
Riveria looked at the gray land, where a large number of new monsters were cut down like wheat. The slash was like a thin line, mercilessly slicing through the bodies of countless larvae and piranhas. It only took a few seconds to reach the fallen fairy, splitting its huge lower body into a flower-like shape, and the massive hole seeped out thick green blood.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"
The fallen fairy screamed, and her eyeless face suddenly locked onto Link. At that moment, Link was already attacking the Fallen Fairy like a cannonball!
Glancing at the attacking ants in front of him, a sneer appeared on the Fallen Fairy's face.
"Burst, flame!"
A super-large dark red magic aperture surrounded the monster's feet and finally spread out in front of it.
"Chanting?!"
Finn's thumb throbbed. He widened his eyes and looked at the team members fighting to the front, left, and right as he smashed the attacking piranha with his spear, shouting at the team members to be careful!
"Burn! Burn! Burn! Flame Tornado! Red Lotus Barrier! Karma Fire Roar! Seal the world with the power of the wind! Set the sky on fire! Set the earth on fire! Set the ocean on fire! Set the mountain on fire! Set life on fire! Turn everything into scorched earth! This is a salute of anger and sighs at the cost of the life of the hero I love!"
Ais gathered her heart, shaking off the trembling emotions coursing through her body. She resisted her mental unrest and joined the battle on the front lines. When she heard Riveria's exclamation, she looked in surprise at the female-sized monster. The speed of the monster's chant was almost as fast as if it were being played back at several times the normal speed. The speed of the monster's speech was astonishing.
"Link! Be careful!"
As soon as Finn finished speaking, the fallen fairy chanting at a super-fast speed had already completed a long series of incantations.
"Dance! The majestic spirit! The Master of Light! I have made a contract with the guardian spirit of the forest! Let the song of the earth resonate around us! Protect us!"
After responding, Riveria began to chant her own incantation.
"The name given to me by the agent is 'Fire Fairy'! The embodiment of fire! 'Fire King!'"
Link wanted to continue running forward, but he was blocked by the Fallen Fairy's tentacles, which tried to stop him at all costs. At that moment, he could also see from his perspective that the wounds on the Fallen Fairy's lower body had been healed by her super-speed regeneration ability.
He cut off the tentacles one by one, managing to advance only a few meters before being obstructed by tentacles from all directions.
"Transform into a giant forest wall to shield us! My name is Alf!"
"Firestorm!"
"Dimension Disruption!!!"
The lengthy incantation of the Fallen Fairy and the chant in reaction from Riveria concluded almost simultaneously.
In an instant, the world was enveloped in purple flames!
Fortunately, Riveria's barrier also opened, safeguarding everyone.
From the three enormous magic arrays suspended in front of the Fallen Fairy and beside her hands, purple-red flames surged forth like a flood, sweeping towards their endless advance.
The heat wave of the flames morphed into a colossal tsunami that surged towards Riveria's barrier.
Including the monsters still besieging them, the sea of fire engulfed the dome-shaped magic barrier protecting Riveria and the others, destroying several green walls and continuing to advance towards the floor boundary with astonishing momentum.
"Link!!"
Not only Olga and Asagi, but Tsubaki and Ais also shouted out anxiously.
Link had run through, so he was not shielded by the barrier.
How can we resist this kind of wide-area, full-coverage annihilation magic with just the wind barrier?
Everyone's eyes widened as they looked anxiously at their field of vision.
But the blazing flames distorted space, and no one could be seen!
Only the sound of fire waves crashing against the barrier and the screams of monsters rolling in from outside as they burned to death could be heard!
Riveria held the staff with both hands and groaned in pain. Her emerald eyes opened to their fullest extent!
But...
PIJI, PIJI!
The strongest magician had never suffered a single scratch from the magic barrier, yet cracks began to manifest.
"The barrier can no longer hold...!"
The front, left, right, and top of the light barrier commenced cracking, and Raul and Lefiya turned pale.
At this moment...!
The fire coming from the front suddenly diminished!
If one looked closely, it seemed like two different flames were facing each other in the center of the battlefield!
Looking toward the flames, a figure emerged...
"Link!!"
Everyone's voices were tinged with surprise.
At this moment, in the center of the battlefield...
Link holds a sword like fire...
What's puzzling is that Zanpakuto's originally exquisite and beautiful sword now resembles a dead piece of wood burned by flames...
"卍·solution!"
"The residual fire sword..."
He whispered softly.
"Ahhhhhh! How... how is this possible!!"
The fallen fairy roared!
The flames he released seemed to have met an iron wall that couldn't be breached at that moment and could no longer advance at all!
Obviously, they are all flames!
Why!?
"With just your little flame, do you think you can kill me?"
"I don't believe it! I don't believe it!!!"
The fallen fairy clapped both hands on the magic array, increasing the magic output!
With the infusion of magic power, the incoming flames geometrically amplified!
Link's eyes narrowed slightly, the Blade Ruohuo in his hand trembled, and the flames released became increasingly stronger.
The two flames suddenly collided!
"!!!! ... From the shock, Riveria's magic barrier let out a sharp wail and exploded in all directions.
The shockwave and flames collided head-on with Gareth, who was holding a large shield. Gareth stomped on the ground and roared, "Ohhhh...!" Bert and the others shouted anxiously and were about to get up, but Finn stopped them in time.
In just an instant, Gareth's large shield disappeared, leaving only the remnants held in her hands...
Gareth¡s suddenly pulled out the battle axe and held it in front of her, choosing to use her body to continue resisting. Flames suddenly enveloped her beard and rushed towards her face with intensity...
"Ahhhhhhhhhh!!!"
Gareth roared, using all her strength; her feet were already buried in the ground, yet she still retreated...
"!!!! ... Everyone screamed.
"Mmm... huh?"
Finally, as the wave of fire gradually subsided, Ais and the others lay on the ground.
Only ashes remained on the ground scorched by the forest fires. The remains of monsters and magic stones were scattered everywhere. The once large and dense forest had vanished without a trace, turning into a piece of scorched earth.
She obviously avoided the most direct attack, but she still suffered the consequences. She was still wearing the highest level armor, yet she had sustained scars.
Everyone couldn't help but groan. When they lifted their bodies from the ground, they saw the chaotic environment around them and the miserable state of their friends. Everyone was speechless for a moment.
Gareth lay on his back, burns covering her body.
She stood up to protect everyone until the last moment, and all of her armor was burned away. She immediately gave him a healing potion, pouring some on her burned skin, and her breathing gradually stabilized.
In the center of the battlefield, the clash between Link and the fallen fairy continues.
"Impossible!!! Impossible!!!"
Even though she tried her best, she couldn't hurt the human standing in front of her at all!
How is this possible!?
"Damn it! Kill him! Kill him!" She waved her arms angrily, signaling the new types of monsters to come closer.
"It's just a useless fight..."
Link launched a flaming slash with his sword, killing all of the incoming monsters.
However, even though he said this, Link seized the opportunity to quickly drink a bottle of magic potion. Now, he was just trying to hold on. The magic power consumed by the swastika Ryuken Ruohu was enormous; in a short time, she basically exhausted all seven levels of her magic power reserves.
The fallen fairy also noticed that Link drank the potion and seemed to understand something...
"You have no magic power? Seriously! Hahahaha! Human, how long can you hold on!?"
The fallen fairy laughed and called for a large number of new types of monsters to swarm.
I have to admit that the human in front of me is terrifyingly strong!
But as long as her magic power is exhausted, she still has a chance of winning!
"Rustling sounds..."
Looking at the large number of approaching monsters, Link clicked his tongue.
Then, he inserted the Blade Ruohuo into the ground.
"Remnant Fire Tai Sword! Nan! Trigger the Ten Trillion Death Burial Formation!"
The ground began to tremble, and the corpses of monsters and humans emerged from the earth!
These are the ashes of those who died under Link's sword!
The high temperature flowing like fire awakened the ashes of the dead who had fallen beneath Link's blade in the past, turning them into an army of charred skeletons to endlessly kill those Link considers his enemies!
Once the corpses awakened, they rushed towards the new types of monsters driven by the fallen fairy spirits. Soon, the entire battlefield was plunged into chaos.
Taking advantage of the new types of monsters being stopped by the Corpses of the Dead, Link rushed forward and attacked the fallen fairy with all his might...
"BANKAI"
In that moment, the entire world seemed to turn gray.
