Chapter 567:
“Astrea!”
Wu Yan and Mikoto cried out in alarm. They turned towards the Longarm ape king with anger in their eyes. Two bolts of lightning streaked across the air, enveloping the Longarm ape king in a cafe of lightning.
Roar
The lightning struck the ape king and slightly charred the golden fur of the Longarm ape king. The attacks failed to harm the ape king but the creature is still mad as hell that someone tried to harm it. Flexing its arms, the lightning was easily dispelled.
The longarm ape king charged at Wu Yan in a blur of golden light. It made craters due to its immense weight and power. Hinagiku & co only saw the ground breaking apart but not much else due to how fast the ape traveled in such a short span of time.
Wu Yan clenched down on Nietono no Shana as he braced for impact. Flames sprouted forth from his flaming blade, he let the flames engulf him turning himself into a burning man in the process.
The ape king raised its claw in the air, it’s getting ready to give Wu Yan & co a giant bestial swipe when it is within range. When Wu Yan seared himself, if it attacked Wu Yan like this then wouldn’t it be harmed by the fire? The ape king hesitated in its subconscious mind.
At tier 9, this ape king already had basic analytical powers. A human would think twice about putting their arms in flames, this ape king had the same notion.
But, when it saw the bodies of its followers and descendants, the ape king felt another wave of rage take over. It couldn’t care about anything anymore and it sent a mighty slap at the burning figure, slapping the human within far away!
“Yan!”
Mikoto gasped. She took out a coin and she flipped it into the air as it fell onto her charged hand. The coin turned sizzling white and she shot the coin out as a railgun projectile that looked like a menacing orange laser. It hit the ape king without a hitch.
Boom
Shrouded by a storm of dust and smoke, Ikaros fired missiles into the dust cloud, hitting the ape king within.
Boom boom boom
The ape king swatted down the missiles while bellowing in anger. It grabbed a piece of the ground bigger than it in size and it tossed it at Ikaros like it’s throwing a small pebble.
Ikaros deployed her Aegis without flinching. The barrier looked like a holographic projection and when the boulder hit the surface of the barrier, the boulder shattered easily. How can a piece of rock possibly compare in terms of hardness against the Aegis?
Ikaros calm look changed when the boulder shattered, a black figure appeared behind the vestiges of the boulder.
The ape king didn’t give a damn that the enemy is a beauty who could cause the downfalls of countries, it unleashed a massive punch at the Aegis.
The Aegis held on for a short while but the ape king’s terrifying strength cracked the barrier. Ditching magic and focusing on physical abilities, this ape king had one of the toughest body in all the demonic beasts. A simple punch had such an astonishing effect.
When the Aegis cracked, Ikaros appeared in front of the ape king. With a cold and indifferent look in its eyes, the ape king raised its other fist and slammed it down at Ikaros’ head. The fist pushed away the air around it, if this struck, even if she didn’t die, she would be out cold for a long time.
A bolt of large lightning broke apart the firmament at this critical juncture. This force of nature struck the ape king.
It’s Mikoto’s strongest attack, Lightning Strike.
Against this ape king, Mikoto pulled no punches, she went all out to charge and bring forth this lightning strike. She managed to smite the ape king with lightning before the ape king can land its attack on Ikaros’ head.
A pillar of flame attacked the ape king from below, the two attacks formed of purgatory of flame and lightning as they connected with the ape king.
It’s Maximum Impact: Small flame
Lightning strike and Maximum Impact: Small flame at the same time, the ape king fell with a trail of smoke. The impact site was generously decorated by a rain of homing missiles.
“Artemis!”
Boom boom boom boom boom
Before the ape king even touched the ground it’s already scorched by the explosions. As a result, it fell to the ground with even more force.
The ape king got buried by the missiles and the falling momentum. Large chunks of rock erupted into the air as another dust storm shielded the impact area from everyone’s vision.
Ikaros, Astrea, Wu Yan, and Mikoto are heaving due to their non-stop attacks. They didn’t completely stop, even Astrea knew she didn’t deliver enough damage, what’s more to say of the others?
The ape king’s overly-developed body gave it immense endurance. Its body is a weapon in itself, it’s very perilous to be on the receiving end of its brutish strength. Wu Yan & co took advantage of the ape king’s inability to fly and limited attack range in order to gang up on the creature. However, it’s far from enough to bring this enemy down.
Hence, the next instant, Wu Yan opened up a lot of red rippling portals behind him. With countless cannons ready to fire, lightning flashed within each and every cannon. Ikaros also took out a very malevolent-looking black bow as she pulled the bowstring, a burning dark purplish flaming arrow nocked and ready to fire. Astrea made her lightsaber enlarge until it formed a heaven-piercing gigantic blade. Mikoto channeled her lightning as per usual.
“Maximum impact!!!”
“Apollon!!!”
“Chrysaor!!!”
“Lightning strike!!!”
A barrage of bluish-white laser came out of the cannons in the Gate of Babylon, a dark purplish burning arrow, a giant bolt of lightning, and a giant sword fell at the same time on the target hidden within the smoke.
The heaven itself went silent as if in a tense mood.
Boom
