Chapter 1967 A Desperate Battle!
-----
"[Celestial Lightning Castle Barrier]!"
BOOOOOOMMMM…!
The huge Meteor was barely stopped as Palami and Raito combined their magic together, something they had practiced a lot before, summoning a huge dome made of light and lightning!
"Palami, Raito!" Asure felt relieved he had his friends to rely on even in this precarious situation.
"Don't lose your focus, that thing can end us if we get hit by that thing!" Palami said, her eyes glowing bright gold.
"We have to live so we can go back to our families!" Raito said. "After all, our kid back in Rimuru's Divine Realm's waiting for us! And so is your girlfriend, right, Asure?" Raito talked about his child with Palami.
"Girlfriend?! V-Valentia is not my girlfriend!" Asure cried, suddenly blushing a bit. "And don't talk embarrassing things in the middle of a battle!"
The giant Quake Lord swung his gigantic hammer against the beast's Salamander head, covering it with countless cracks, and stopping it from conjuring more flames!
CRAAAAASSSH!
"GRAARGGKHH…!"
The Salamander gave an agonizing groan before it exploded into pieces, its flames were no more, although the rest of the body still could summon smaller, weaker flames.
"SHAAAAH!"
With a loud and angered shriek, the chimeric spirit beast spread out its endlessly growing crystal tentacles, attacking the trio once more! Each time the tentacles hit the ground, huge tremors spread across the battlefield, summoning all sorts of elemental explosions.
CRASH! CRASH! CRASH! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
"Shit, this monster is way too potent! Even without a head, it still going on so hard!" Raito muttered, gritting his teeth.𝗇𝓞𝐕𝚎𝗅𝓊𝓈𝐁.𝑐𝑜𝓂
"Have the people ran away yet?!" Asure asked, summoning several shields made of stone one after another to defend himself and his friends.
"Not yet!" Palami said, looking to the village for a few seconds. "Ah! W-Wait, what?!"
However, she panicked, quickly seeing as a dozen more Spirit Beasts, these not looking chimeric at all, but rather the wild ones, started approaching the village! They were all "infected" with a strange black and red crystal similar to the one in the core of the chimeric spirit beast, their eyes glowed bright red, as if they were being controlled by somebody else.
"The village's under attack by even more Spirit Beasts!" Palami panicked. "Shit! At this rate everyone will die…!"
"Dammit!" Raito roared, suddenly stopping his evasive maneuvers as he flew into the skies, gathering all the Divine Energy he could muster, and absorbing many of his Divine Materials within his Divine Realm as well. "[Divine Thunder Lord's Blade Arts]: [Thunder Dragon's Descent]!!!"
His entire body unleashed a tremendous quantity of divine lightning all at once, materializing and fusing together into a gigantic Thunder Dragon, roaring furiously, and flying towards the chimeric spirit beast!
"ROOOOAARRRRGH!"
BOOOOOOOMMMM…!
The dragon engulfed the chimeric spirit beast into a huge explosion of thunder, countless cracks spreading across the monster's entire body at once, as its many tentacle shattered into pieces, and so did its wings keeping it afloat!
CRAAAASSSH…!
The huge monster fell into the ground, debilitated, but not dead yet, slowly beginning to attempt to move across the ground, trying to regenerate from its wounds.
"Ugh…!"
Raito instantly fell from the skies as he felt completely drained, Palami caught him in midair as she flew down, landing over Asure's shoulder.
"Did you had to go that far?! Dummy!" Palami sighed. "Drink this, quickly!" Raito quickly drank an Elixir to recover some of his stamina.
"Hey, but he did it! That thing's down now!" Asure said. "We have to go defeat the other Spirit Beasts while we are at it and-"
Crack, crack… crack… CRACK!
The Chimeric Spirit Beast's entire body started shattering into pieces, as if an entity was hatching from an egg. Rays of rainbow light emerged from within, as a gigantic, and tall humanoid-like entity emerged from within the spherical mass of colorful crystals.
"W-What is that?!" Palami cried.
"T-That thing… It was an egg this whole time?!" Asure was shaken.
"N-No…! Dammit!" Raito gritted his teeth.
The huge humanoid Chimeric Spirit Beast slowly stood tall, as tall as Asure on his giant form, made of translucent rainbow crystals. Its head was divided into four faces, resembling the mask depicting a fair woman's face, one was angry, another was sad, the other was neutral, and the last was laughing.
Her long translucent rainbow-colored hair spread around, resembling the tentacles of earlier, but much longer, bigger, and stronger… Her female-like body with thin les without foot, and long hands with sharp claws made her look like some sort of crystal doll, of gigantic proportions.
"Aaaaaahhhhh~~~!" It roared while giving out a loud, female-like scream, sounding slightly melodic.
Palami, Raito, and Asure felt utterly overwhelmed by the titan's aura… Their bodies after hearing her melodious voice were instantly paralyzed. Amidst the glitched system messages that emerged and disappeared constantly, they noticed they had gained the [Spiritual Petrification] Status effect, which petrified their souls, and gave them paralysis until they could heal themselves.
"N-No… this can't be…" Palami muttered. "Dammit! To die like this…!"
"Fuck…!" Raito muttered. "Palami…! You have to escape! Argh…! I can't move… My soul!"
"What is happening anymore?!" Asure cried. "Valentia… I'm sorry…"
"Fufufu, do you like her?! Do you like my most beautiful creation so far?!" The voice of someone laughed in the background, hiding somewhere. "Now, my dear creation, eliminate them!"
"Aaaaaaahh~~!" The gigantic crystalline spirit entity gave a melodious scream as she spread out her enormous hands, large quantities of Divine Spiritual Energy gathered together at the same time, forming two enormous rainbow-colored spheres!
FLAAAAAASSSH!
Both spheres instantly were launched towards the trio, the very impact of such magic would completely vaporize them out of this world!
BOOOOOOOOMMMMM…!!!
"Hahahaha! HAHAHAHA! So weak! You aliens are really pathetic!" Laughed the entity controlling the giant. "You deserve to die a dog's death!"
As the smoke dissipated and the entity glanced at the scene, awaiting to see their charred bodies, her red eyes distorted in shock!
"W-Wha…?!"
In front of Palami, Raito, and Asure, there were two huge titans, larger than even their own creation, protecting them with their gigantic bodies and two tremendous divine axes, their combined auras exuding a titanic force…
"Who are you?!" The entity controlling the chimera was left flabbergasted.
"Celica… Truhan!" Palami, Raito, and Asure couldn't believe their eyes!
"You're missing somebody!" A voice echoed, descending from the skies while wielding two blades, one with flames and the other wielding lightning.
"Kizuato?!" The trio once more cheered.
"[Divine Blazing Thunder Blade Arts]: [Ascending Blazing Thunder Dragon]!"
Kizuato's Blade Ki and Elements converged into a ferocious, roaring dragon made of flames and lightning which quickly descended over the rainbow titan, forcing the entity to step back!
CRAAAAAASSSSH!!! RUMBLE!
"Urgghh…! You damned aliens!" The wasp-like crystalline figure flew away, hiding with their illusory magic as they saw their creation falter, stepping back, and gaining a few little cracks above her body. "My beautiful creation was damaged?!"
Kizuato landed in front of the two titans Celica and Truhan, as he pointed his two swords at the enormous, otherworldly entity in front of them.
"Alright guys, let's do this!" He roared.
"That's my line little guy." Celica giggled.
"Hahahaha!" Truhan laughed. "While we are at it… Let's kill that thing hiding over there! I betcha it is controlling the big one!"
"Huh?! You can SEE me?!" The entity flew back in surprise, their illusory veils were of no use against Truhan's sharp senses.
