Chapter 996: Against Hundreds Of Cultists
-----
After crushing the cultist that rushed towards me directly, it slowly began to attempt to regenerate its body even as it was splattered over the floor.
I've grown rather used to this ruthlessness, I used to be much softer now. But to protect those I love; I can't allow myself to be soft.
I turned my crown into the yellow color and zapped the demonic cultist into ashes with a powerful rain of lightning bolts, before it could fully regenerate and bring even more trouble.
BOOOM!
At the same time, the other two cultists reached my left and right. Their furious roars reverberating loudly. They were clearly very angry I killed one of them so quickly. I don't know if they felt bad for them, but just angry in general.
"BASTARD!"
"WE'LL KILL YOU!"
However, their bodies slowed down as they began to freeze. The left one, with a body completely covered by a thin armor of black and purple crystals, with six sharp arms and legs, looked at me in disbelief. It was the same for the one at the right, looking like a huge black lion beast man of over twenty meters, with bulging muscles and sharp Demonite spikes growing over his body.
"W-What happened?!"
"I can't move- ARGH!"
My crown changed into the color blue. I activated its freezing powers, quickly stopping them from getting closer to me. An Aura of Spiritual Ice Energy constantly rushing out of my body. My scales shone brightly as they reflected the light of the sun, as they saw countless vines surge from my body, made of golden orichalcum.
As my vines were about to trap them, the two managed to break through the frost covering their bodies, their giant arms and claws reaching me. Only for them to be swiped away by a large mass of these golden, metallic vines.
CLAAASH!
"Ugh?!"
"Argh!"
They weren't normal vines either. They were not just an inherited skill from Loki anymore. They had evolved once the skill was fused together with others, becoming an extension of my body more than ever before.
The moment they were struck by the whips made out of amassed vines, their bodies started to slowly freeze, while holy golden, blue, and green flames started spreading across the ice formed over their bodies.
"M-My demonic powers…! They're weakening! What happened?!"
"This ice… It is producing flames too?!"
I didn't have any time to waste with them, my crown changing into its green color, as it instantly conjured a dozen projectiles of wood and nature, piercing their bodies constantly, and then detonating into more golden and green flames of Nature and Life, the Yggdragon's strongest fire.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
"Gruuuaagghh!"
"Aaarrgghh!"
Their bodies started exploding into pieces. As they attempted to regenerate and fight back. Black, Demonic, and Nether Magic conjured against me, which Brisingra easily blocked with her barriers.
"You've already outlived your life expectancy, begone."
With a voice filled with authority, I sentenced them to their demises. My crown changed to yellow color, as I charged it with Mana, releasing a rain of lightning bolts that quickly vaporized them.
Zap… ZAP!
BOOOM!
After taking care of three of them in less than one minute, I looked in front, the incoming army of Miasmic Monsters was rising in numbers. There were now Demonic Monsters and Undead Monsters appearing as well.
They were going all out. I noticed several cultists conjuring their magic, channeling it with the Avatars. The coming of these monsters wasn't just because they were desperate. No, it was the beginning of their actual summoning.
We had to hurry.
"So? Who's next?"
I glared down at the cultists, their monstrous bodies still shocked after seeing three of their members killed without much effort at all.
"How is she so strong?!"
"What… What is she?!"
"Is she an Avatar of a God?"
"No, that wouldn't make sense either! They're not that strong as to fight three of us at the same time!"
"Shit, she's coming!"
As they panicked, I grew closer. My army of Spirit Draconic Beasts clashed against them and their summoned Monsters. I lifted the gigantic shovel and then started striking their armies constantly, like a weapon from the skies, judgement descended.
BAAM! BAAM! BAAM!
Hundreds of Monsters died on the spot, with more coming right after them. They were seriously never-ending. And my shovel wasn't going to last forever either, the spirits that composed it were already slowly fading away.
"Attack the weapon, it is slowly weakening down!"
"Hit that shovel with everything you have!"
"Stop her!"
A dozen Demonic Cultists jumped on me, attacking both me and the shovel. Their attacks slowly started to spread cracks across the shovel. I quickly decided to let them distract themselves with that, while I started growing my body.
From ten meters I quickly went to thirty, as I gained more "muscle mass" and stronger armored defenses. I wielded Gram with one of my many arms, and the rest wielded weapons I created on the spot, combining Yggdrasil wood with my own scales and dragon and elemental spirits together.
Swords, spears, axes, hammers, and gauntlets, I received the incoming demonic cultists, each one Level 320 with an endless barrage of explosive attacks.
Piercing blows, hacking slashes, whopping chops, crushing blows, and slashing attacks pierced through their armors and scales, as I kicked, bit, and tore through their numbers with sheer might.
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
BAAAM!
"Uuaaggh!"
"S-She's too strong!"
"How come we can't even hurt her?!"
"If you distract yourself panicking, you won't even survive a minute against me!" I roared, extending my long tail and piercing the head of one of them, an ancient elf that had suddenly become an Arachne-like monstrosity.
"Aaarrggh!"
His head exploded into pieces, as my attack released an hyper charged lightning attack after loading my body with the thunder of my yellow crown.
BOOOM!
"Who's next?!"
As I roared, I kept moving forwards. I looked around my surroundings while crushing the monstrosities approaching, noticing my party assembled into two large groups.
The first one was being led by my daughter, composed of her own party and Angelina's party. The second party was led by Mark and was composed of all my friends and the NPC we brought along.
Slowly yet steadily, we started pushing the Monster and the Cultists to the edge of the pit.
RUMBLE!
However, something was already beginning to manifest.
