Chapter 1055: Chapter 794: The True Divine Blade (Part 2)
Reiger, recalling the words of the forging god, suddenly tightened his grip on the hilt as he dashed out.
In an instant, the Holy Text on the blade glittered again like flowing light.
"Pshhh!"
When Reiger, turning into a blurred shadow, swept past a group of carnivorous flowers, a remarkably sharp beam of slash swept across the creatures’ bodies, freezing them in place.
"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"...
The next moment, the carnivorous flowers that had their bodies sliced by the unbelievably sharp slash suddenly exploded without warning, turning into dust scattered all over, as the colorful magic stones fell to the ground.
"So easy."
This thought flashed in Reiger’s mind as he made this slash.
That previous strike, he did not use any technique, nor did he apply much force, yet it effortlessly sliced through the carnivorous flowers’ prideful tough skin as if cutting through paper, cleaving them all in half in one swing, from head to tail. This astonishingly effortless feel indeed surprised Reiger.
"Pshhh!" "Pshhh!" "Pshhh!" "Pshhh!" "Pshhh!"...
While moving swiftly, Reiger again swung several slashes at the carnivorous flowers before they could react, each blade unbelievably sharp, each blade surprisingly easy, continually slicing through the huge bodies of the carnivorous flowers, turning them all into minced flesh effortlessly.
"Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa...!"
The giant insects behind let out a clangorous roar of anger, spewing corrosive liquid in Reiger’s direction, turning the corrosive liquid into countless liquid spears, shooting towards him overwhelmingly like a torrential downpour.
"Psh!"
Faced with an oncoming corrosive liquid spear, Reiger simply swung the blade once, and a flash of light, at an alarming speed, sliced through the liquid spear, scattering it.
"Psh!" "Psh!" "Psh!" "Psh!" "Psh!"...
Amidst the sound of dispersal, Reiger effortlessly continued to scatter the incoming corrosive liquid spears, with his speed of slashing so astonishingly fast that the blade slicing through the air didn’t even create a break-wind noise, evidencing the slashing sharpness and keenness had reached an astonishing degree.
The corrosive liquid capable of eroding objects and even easily melting first-level armaments, when slashed by the blade of the Reiger, couldn’t stick even a single bit onto the blade.
It is said that if a blade is too sharp, even when one is chopped, the victim wouldn’t feel a thing, and could still move as if untouched until the body splits apart.
The blade of the Reiger now seemed to have reached such a state.
In terms of sharpness, durability, performance, or power, the Reiger had now ascended to a frightening level.
The Reiger at present finally has the entitlement to be called a god-tier blade.
Inscribed with Holy Text equivalent to blessings, this blade possessed the potential to ascend into a true god-tier blade.
After all, every upgrade of a person engraved with blessing on their back is a further approach to deities.
In that case, a blade inscribed with blessing will naturally draw closer to the legendary Divine Artifact with each upgrade.
If one day the wielder becomes a god, then this blade will also become a true god-tier blade alongside.
"In a sense, the forging god has truly crafted a second Divine Artifact for me."
Reiger thought in his heart, blowing past the numerous worm-like monsters like a gust of wind.
"Boom boom boom boom boom!"
The swarm of worm-like creatures immediately followed the fate of the earlier carnivorous flowers, exploding one after another right on the spot, appearing as though slashed by countless blades, turning into countless fragments instantly.
With the divine blade in hand, dealing with these colorful creatures was no more challenging for Reiger than chopping vegetables.
"Amazing, so amazing...!"
The crowd of adventurers rushing from behind only to witness the scene where Reiger, like a gust of wind, instantly unleashed countless razor-sharp slashes, dismembering the myriad colorful creatures on the spot, could barely contain their astonishment.
"This is Lv.7...?"
"No, this is the [Limit Breaker]..."
Those who were placed into the Sixth Unit and were not part of the Loki Familia trembled.
Only members of the Loki Familia, like Rephia, reacted in time.
"[Frozen Sky, Rain of the High Heavens. White ice adorning the forest, please expel the shallow barbarians. Freeze them, Shackles of Winter.]"
"[Ice Hail Crystal Dust]!"
Rephia was the first to invoke magic, making a sphere of light rise above and releasing countless hailstones, striking the water strider-like monsters climbing up both walls.
"Crunch crunch crunch..."
Accompanied by a tooth-aching sound of freezing, all the dense water strider-like monsters, along with the walls, were completely encased in ice.
"Go!"
"Shatter those ice blocks!"
"Kill every escapee left alive!"
"Charge along with the [Limit Breaker]!"
The rest finally reacted as well, shouting orders, brandishing weapons, or using sledgehammers and battle axes to shatter the frozen sculptures of the water strider-like monsters, or using swords, machetes, and spears to pierce through the leftover individuals. Meanwhile, the rear guard magic guides chanted spells like Rephia. Fortunately, dwarven front liners were blocking the path; otherwise, the colorful monsters, which would react violently to magic power, would circumvent everyone and first attack these magic guides.
The other five units also handled the colorful monsters with quite proficiency, especially the first, second, and third units of Loki Familia, who had encountered the colorful monsters numerous times and meticulously understood their characteristics and weaknesses. They were no longer easily hindered by these rabble forces.
Thus, with the guardian angel at the forefront absorbing all magic attacks, and the bold leadership of Loki Familia members, slaying the colorful monsters like fish, the units passed through corridors without a hitch, heading toward their destination.
Especially Reiger’s Sixth Unit and Ais’ Second Unit, their advancement speed was the fastest.
On Reiger’s side, with a new weapon in hand and his power unleashed to Lv.7, no type of colorful monster posed any hindrance. They were swiftly chopped into pieces, and with Rephia’s magic firepower rivaling Lv.6, the advancing speed naturally surpassed other units.
Ais’s side was similar. With the Fool, a weapon lighter than a feather gifted by Reiger, its effectiveness far exceeded the Sword of Despair. Under the golden-haired maiden’s storm-like assault, any colorful monster appearing was immediately slain. With the firepower support from the magic guide Revilia in the rear, the advancing speed compared to Reiger’s Sixth Unit showed almost no gap.
Of course, "almost no gap" doesn’t mean there was none.
Therefore, the first unit to reach the destination, the altar of the fairy spirit’s avatar, was still Reiger’s Sixth Unit.
"The altar is just ahead!"
Rephia stopped casting spells, as if to conserve spiritual power. She ran fast, struggling to keep up with Reiger who was charging ahead and slaying monsters, shouting out loudly.
Everyone urgently looked up.
What met their eyes was an entrance at the end of the corridor.
Upon passing through this entrance, they rushed into a vast open space.
The height here was nearly a hundred meters, and the width on either side was several times the height, larger than the chambers occupied by some floor guardians.
Everywhere here was covered by a thin layer of green flesh, polished extremely smooth.
And that entity stood at the deepest part of this space.
Her massive body towered like a divine pillar reaching up to the sky.
She remained parasitic on a gigantic monster, her upper body resembling a beautiful woman continuously singing, chanting spells without pause.
A seemingly poisonous indigo magic array unfolded beneath her, with trails extending from it, covering the ground and extending outward, forming a circular pattern.
"Is this... the fairy spirit’s avatar?"
Watching the enormous entity smiling and singing, emanating a filthy aura, the adventurers shuddered once more.
