Chapter 957: Chapter 734: Only I Can Take Her Down Alone
At this moment, Reiger had not yet undone the previously activated [Wind Spirit Swift Walk].
Therefore, when he appeared before Ais, dismantled his own magic, and was enveloped by wind, the Polluted Immortal Spirit’s clone tilted its head.
"Alya? Two of them?"
Obviously, with the mind of this already fallen Polluted Immortal Spirit, it couldn’t figure out why there were two Alyas here.
But that didn’t stop it from feeling delighted.
"Two Alyas! Two Alyas!"
"Then merge with me both!"
"Let me devour you two! Alya!"
Amidst such childlike joyful laughter, the giant bull charged once again.
"Rumble..."
Instantly, the earth thundered, winds surged, and the fierce collision was even more imposing and powerful than a runaway train, flattening countless rubble along the way, stirring up clouds of dust that swept in all directions.
That sight was like a small mountain growing legs, charging at you; it was nothing short of a nightmare.
Yet, in the face of this nightmarish scene, instead of retreating, Reiger charged towards it amidst Ais’s exclamation.
"[Signs of the End, pristine snow. Face the twilight hour, stir up the storm. Sealed light, frozen earth. Snowflakes fill the sky, triple winter — my name is Alf.]"
While flashing at high speed, Reiger chanted rapidly with a speed inferior to the Polluted Immortal Spirit’s clone but still unmatched by ordinary Magic Guides, forming a magic array under his feet.
"[Frenzied Fimbul Winter]!"
Three snowstorms immediately formed, sweeping through the wide space, filling the near hundred-meter battleground in no time.
All present involuntarily shivered, withdrawing from the center of the cold’s eruption in shock.
Even Ais, Theona, Theone, Alcana, and Bajie did the same, not daring to remain at the battle’s center, quickly retreating.
"Crunch, crunch, crunch——"
The entire space echoed with nerve-wracking freezing sounds, whether the broken, dilapidated ground, the ultra-hard metal walls smashed by the giant bull, or even the ceiling, all freezing into ice at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The giant bull also experienced this, slowly covering in frost, its charging speed gradually slowing until it finally halted, slowly freezing into ice.
"[Proud warrior, forest archer team. The advancing raider ahead, pick up your bows. Answer your fellows’ call, notch the arrow, ignite flames, forest’s light. Command you to shoot, elf’s fire arrow. Descend like sudden rain, burn the savages.]"
At that moment, Reiger began chanting rapidly again, turning the magic array at his feet into a fiery hue, which then floated skyward.
"Mr., Mr. Reiger!"
Striving to get up from the ground, Rephia saw Reiger chanting his magic, involuntarily calling out.
Simultaneously, Reiger unleashed an excessively powerful wide-area annihilation magic.
"[Simultaneous Fire Spear]!"
A fiery rainstorm descended from the sky.
Thus, low temperatures were replaced by high.
Thus, ice blue was swallowed by fiery red.
After the extreme cold, came extreme heat, causing the fiery rainstorm to crash onto the frozen giant bull, engulfing it instantly.
"Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom——!"
The magnificent explosion and roaring sounds immediately resonated together, with the fiery rainstorm continuously bombarding the giant bull’s body without pause, burning away the ice, scorching even the steel-colored hard skin, enveloping the "Sky Bull" in flames.
"Aaaahhhhhhh...!"
The smile on the face of the Polluted Immortal Spirit clone, burned by the flames, finally couldn’t maintain, crying out in pain.
Yet the descending fiery rainstorm mercilessly continued to bombard the giant bull, bombarding the Polluted Immortal Spirit clone, even bombarding the entire battlefield.
If it weren’t for the demon-suppressing stones incorporated into the walls, floor, and ceiling here, reducing magic’s effect, just this round of bombardment from [Simultaneous Fire Spear] would have caused the place to collapse.
Even so, flames gradually engulfed the surroundings, spreading to others’ sides, causing many to cry out in shock.
"Reiger!"
Ais called once more to Reiger’s name, seemingly wanting to rely on the protective winds of [Wind Spirit Swift Walk] to break through the flames and reach Reiger.
But, Reiger’s voice rang out first.
"Take the others and leave!"
Reiger said while still rushing towards the painfully screaming Polluted Immortal Spirit clone.
That look, even without explanation, made it clear that this boy did not intend to leave with the others.
He was prepared to stay and deal with the Polluted Immortal Spirit clone.
"No! Mister Reiger!"
Rephia cried out in a mix of panic and fear.
"You can’t handle her alone!"
No matter who you asked, they would come to such a conclusion.
After all, that was the Polluted Immortal Spirit clone.
In the 59th floor of the underground city, Finn, Revilia, Grace, and Ais, four Lv.6s, Bert, Theona, Theone, and Chun, four Lv.5s, plus Raul, Angel, Alicia, three Lv.4s, and Rephia, a Lv.3 with firepower surpassing the Familia’s second army and comparable to first-class adventurers, a total of twelve people together launched an attack, and they almost suffered a complete defeat to the Polluted Immortal Spirit clone.
Facing such a monster, how could Reiger handle it alone?
Even if the Mighty Ota comes, he might not be able to handle it!
Rephia shouted this, and the next second, she saw Reiger laugh.
That’s right.
Reiger laughed.
"I can’t handle it alone?"
The wind around Reiger rapidly intensified.
"Bang!"
In the next moment, amidst the thunderous roar and impact, Reiger vanished.
"Slash!"
A lightning-fast sword light flashed by, slicing through the body of the spirit’s clone in an instant, leaving a massive wound several meters long on her outer body.
Blood spurted like a fountain, dyeing a large area of land red.
"Aaaaaaaahhhh...!"
The spirit’s clone cried out in even more pain.
"————"
Watching this, everyone widened their eyes.
Especially Rephia, whose panic and fear completely disappeared, replaced by disbelief and astonishment.
"You were wrong."
Reiger’s figure appeared on the ceiling at the end of the slashing trajectory, standing there upside down, his voice clearly echoing.
"Only I can handle her alone."
Because this way, Reiger wouldn’t have to worry about affecting his own people and could strike without any restraint.
"Bang!"
Along with another loud noise and impact, Reiger stomped heavily on the ceiling beneath him and disappeared from there.
He was wrapped in wind, with a howling gale swirling around his body, yet his figure was so fast it could even leave the wind behind, darting rapidly around the Sky Bull as if teleporting.
"Slash!"
This was a downward slash from the heavens.
"Slash!"
This was an upward slash into the sky.
"Slash!"
This was a slash angled down from left to right.
"Slash!"
This was a slash angled up from right to left.
"Slash!" "Slash!" "Slash!" "Slash!" "Slash!"......
In just a fraction of a second, countless slashes emerged from all directions around the Sky Bull, each landing on its body along the trajectory of the gale, leaving numerous shockingly large wounds on it.
Blood gushed forth, the spirit’s clone also howled, yet the lightning-fast slashes had formed a storm, cutting the Sky Bull to shreds beyond any of their speed to keep up.
At this moment, Reiger’s speed wasn’t just like the swift wind, it was like a flash of light.
And that was only natural.
Because he employed the explosive technique of Thunder Breath, akin to using Round Dance Flash in the state of Sun Breath, now unleashing the speed of Thunder Breath in the state of Air Breath and Wind Spirit Swift Walk.
This was a speed that even that "Fastest in the City" couldn’t hope to match, unrivaled in this world.
Thus, not only Rephia but Ais too was stunned, and even Alcana and Bajie, who were fiercely battling, were taken aback.
"Hey, hey, hey, are you kidding me?"
In the stone stage hall, seeing this through the water membrane, Thanatos had sweat running down his forehead.
"Damn it!"
Ishtar dropped the pipe in his hand, his face grim to an extreme.
"Oh oh! So there is such a warrior within Loki Familia!"
Kaley widened his eyes, exclaiming loudly.
Even Toka, who actually controlled this artificial labyrinth, couldn’t help but momentarily lose his breath. Seeing Reiger, strong as a demon, savagely ravage the spirit’s clone, this scion of a master artisan questioned for the first time if he had made a mistake by letting such a real monster into his clan’s great masterpiece.
And on the battlefield, Reiger still spoke out in such a manner.
"Take everyone and leave!"
Issuing such a calm command that one might even find ruthless, Ais and Rephia finally snapped back to reality.
"...Let’s go!"
In the end, it was Ais who spoke up, choosing to follow Reiger’s command.
Everyone began to swiftly evacuate this battlefield, letting the sea of flames transform into a holy ground for a hero to vanquish the monster.
