Chapter 355 - Battle at the Moon Tower: Final Struggle 5
Alice opened her eyes widely when she saw the blueish sphere crumbled down.
"The seal..."
"is breaking..."
Bang!
The ground shook heavily as if there's an earthquake and a magic circle appeared after it.
Ohm!
A large amount of mana oozed out of the magic circle. Red smoke seeped out of it along with lightning strikes every second.
Then, the huge metallic figure came out of the magic circle possessing an enormous amount of mana that once again flooded the entire city.
"What are you trying to do? She already sealed that weapon so why did you break the seal?" Curdova said as he looked at the metallic figure.
Swoosh!
The metallic figure slowly flew in the sky leaving a trail of thick smoke behind.
"Go after it, Souta!!" Lumilia shouted.
"AAAHHHHH!!!"
Souta roared as his mana burst out of his body.
'What are you trying to do by breaking the seal?' Saya asked him.
'Of course, I'm going to rescue Cl.u.s.ter out of that damn thing.' He replied to her.
Gravitational balls appeared behind him and he chased the metallic figure in the sky.
Boom!
'You're injured and you're trying to fight that thing. Are you out of your mind?' Saya said.
'Don't worry, just give me your powers and I'm going to destroy this thing!!' Souta replied to her.
His feeling was right. Compared to the first time this appeared in the game, the power of this thing was too weak. It means that if he wanted to separate Cl.u.s.ter out of that thing then now is the only chance that he'd got.
That thing or weapon hasn't completed integrated Cl.u.s.ter's power so there's a high chance that he could separate the two. In the game, Cl.u.s.ter was gone. Instead, this weapon appeared as Thousand Spell Cl.u.s.ter. Judging from this, he could guess that the church didn't separate Cl.u.s.ter out of that weapon.
This is the first time that Souta moved without quest. Without thinking about his skill points and his other benefits. He simply moved this time because he wanted to rescue Cl.u.s.ter.
He didn't want the system to dictate his move.
'Let's go, Saya!!' Souta said inwardly.
'Leave it to me, Souta!!' Saya replied to him. Since she chooses as her wielder, she will give him her full support.
Even though she didn't have an idea how he would fight this thing, she wouldn't back down as long as Souta still have the will to fight.
The metallic body stopped and turned to Souta. The mana in its body smashed Soura.
Boom!
"Argh!!"
Souta gritted his teeth as his mana was flashing out of his body like an electric spark. He deflected the mana of the metallic figure and looked at it seriously.
After a few seconds, a violent crimson energy exploded out of his body like a torrent trying to destroy everything. It formed a spherical energy wave around him and another wave of energy burst forth.
The energies were twisting together, dancing like lightning wh.i.p.s.
[One-time Best Feram card activated!]
[One-time Gluttonous blessing card activated!]
Facing the famed Thousand Spell Cl.u.s.ter in the game, Souta didn't dare to hold back. He wanted to use these cards for a higher difficult quest but since he wanted to help Cl.u.s.ter, he didn't hesitate to use these cards even though he wouldn't get anything from this battle.
Souta still hasn't finished his preparation.
Boom!
The energy he was releasing grew larger like a web connected to each other.
His outburst of energy shocked Lumilia, Lynn, and Curdova who were watching the scene. The energy fluctuation that Souta was emitting was hard to determine at the current moment. They couldn't even recognize if this was mana or best feram because of different magical signatures.
Yuni and Safi opened their eyes widely when they saw this horrific scene.
"Just what are these energy fluctuations...?" Safi muttered under her breath.
"Even I could feel danger coming from him..." Yuni said as the smile on her face disappeared. She squinted her eyes and looked at Souta closely.
Souta tightened his grip on the vajra sword and charged at the metallic figure at an astonishing speed.
Boom!
The metallic figure reacted quickly and its body transformed. Cannon-like objects emerged from it and it pointed at Souta.
Swoosh!
A large concentration of mana gathered around it and it shot towards Souta.
Boom!
The two attacks collided causing an explosion in the sky. Souta's figure came out of the smoke and he didn't stop going after the metallic figure.
The metallic weapon pulled out its hand and threw it at Souta. It was so fast that its giant hand instantly arrived in front of him.
Souta could only raise his sword to block the punch of his opponent.
Bang!
His figure was blown away as the powerful punch of the metallic figure landed on his body.
The stacked-up energy placed a huge burden on his injured body. Still, it reached a height that he'd never attained before.
The power of blessing. The power of vajra sword. The power of soul. And the power of best feram.
Plus, his own mana. All of these energies were twisting together creating a powerful vortex of energy around him that rivaled that of the incomplete Thousand Spell Cl.u.s.ter.
"Ugh!"
Souta wiped the blood on the corner of his mouth. He then saw the metallic figure's hand was heading towards trying to grab ahold of him.
He shook his body and flew out to avoid it.
...
Lumilia was watching the battle from the ground with Alice standing beside him. She was clutching the hem of her shirt while hoping that everything would conclude soon.
'Souta, I was surprised for a moment there. I didn't expect it but doing this sort of thing is just like you. You couldn't just let Souta do that. Remember back what you did for me Gripin City. You also did the same for me.
'I'm sure that Cl.u.s.ter is feeling overwhelmed because of you. But that's how I felt at that time when you fight Gregory and surprised everyone with your power. I couldn't forget that moment. It's something that changed my life so I will not forget it easily. Sometimes, I would look back at that time and couldn't help but a smile form on my face.
'From the first time I saw you, I didn't expect that there would be a time where all of us will build a legion together. I didn't expect this future at all but this is the best outcome that I couldn't dream of. I'm really glad that I've gathered up the courage to talk to you in the Deep Woods and hired you to help me get the Mystical Light Cherry.
'Time flies really fast. That day in the Deep Woods feels like just yesterday.'
Boom! Boom!
The aftershocks of the battle were so powerful that everyone could clearly feel the tremendous energy in the sky.
The giant metallic figure reaches out its two hands to Souta.
Swoosh!
Souta flew around as fast as possible. He avoided the right hand but the left hand managed to grab him.
"Ugh!"
He felt intense pressure as the hand was trying to crush him into meat paste. He circulated his energy wildly trying to counter this.
Boom!
A loud explosion occurred as the hand of the metallic figure exploded. Red energy blades flew out of the smoke and landed on the body of the metallic figure causing several explosions.
Boom! Boom!
Souta was doing this of his own volition. He didn't do it because he had a quest. He was doing this simply because he doesn't want to let Cl.u.s.ter sacrifice herself.
If he didn't rescue her right now, the metallic figure would completely fuse with her. They will permanently become one and the True God's Holy Kingdom would use it as a powerful weapon of war.
He knows it. The church won't let Cl.u.s.ter go anymore and their meager power couldn't do anything about it so he had to separate her from the metallic figure.
Even if she goes back to her country, she's still Cl.u.s.ter that he knew not some kind of giant weapon that he knew in the game.
This will change the history of this world but he didn't care about it. It was scary and dreadful but that's fine for him.
Ever since he arrived in this world, he was afraid. He was scared that he would die in future events. Even though he knew that this was real, he subconsciously treated this as a game for him not to feel afraid of it.
But now...
'Saya, forget about defense just focus all your energy on the sword.' Souta said to Saya.
'But that would make you vulnerable to-' Saya said but Souta cut her words.
'It's fine... Don't worry and we'll make it.' Souta assured her.
The energy cannon of the metallic figure pointed at Souta and charged a large amount of energy.
Souta raised the vajra sword in his hand and different energies gathered around it. It looked like it was distorting the space as lightning wh.i.p.s were dancing around it.
This time... I will not let you become what you are in the game.
"I will change your future."
