Chapter 1014: Samsara Astra Magicae Codex's formations vs Knights (II)
Not far from where the Skyreaper fought against Oblivora, the Knight resembling a mass of tentacles, another battle was going on between two beasts of the apocalypse.
One was a beast with a dragon's body, phoenix wings, and the heads of a goat, lion, and snake. The bloodline power coming from this creature was overwhelming, and every part of its body was capable of a myriad of abilities.
Divine Bloodline Chimera.
The one controlling that formation was Eve. She could grant a state of order to the dozens of bloodlines, fusing them into different power streams capable of unique abilities.
Power burst through the maws of the goat and lion heads, unleashing a breath of lightning and silver wind, fusing them into an immensely powerful attack against the enemy.
Responding to that attack was a breath of infernal fire that burned with the might of a thousand suns. Not only were the flames powerful, but there was a poisonous intent in them, capable of corrupting any wounds left.
The Knight that faced Eve's Divine Bloodline Chimera had the form of a hellhound covered in burning miasma with a demonic head emerging from his chest.
"Hahaha, not bad for an insignificant Extreme Rank 9 life form, but it is useless. Someone like you could never defeat me, Ephemion, the Bearer of Decay."
The Knight's demonic head spoke while the infernal flames emerging from the hellhound's maws grew stronger.
Eve's eyes narrowed as she saw how the infernal flames pushed back the lightning and silver wind, but she did not lose calm. The snake head's eyes of the Divine Bloodline Chimere began to glow.
Ephemion's demonic face frowned when he saw how his body began to petrify due to the powers of the snake head. That forced him to redirect part of his energy to stop the damage, weakening the might of his infernal breath.
A standstill returned to the clash between both breath's attacks, but all of a sudden, the lightning and silver wind vanished, confusing Ephemion.
The next thing the Knight saw was a figure piercing through his infernal flames.
"Hmph, stupid. My Infernal Beyond Flame will corrode anything that gets in contact..."
Ephemion could not finish his sentence when he saw how the Divine Bloodline Chimera managed to pierce the infernal beyond flame by covering its body with rebirth fire emerging from its phoenix wings.
Before the Knight could make a move, Eve rammed the massive flaming draconic body of the formation against this one.
"BOOOOMMMM!"
The clash sent Ephemion flying away, but before this one could get too far, the Divine Bloodline Chimera had already appeared before him and bit his neck with the snake and lion heads.
"Ahhhh!"
Ephemion shouted in pain as lightning and petrification force destroyed the flesh around his neck, but his eyes soon regained focus. Full of rage, he made the toxic miasma covering his body burst.
Eve's eyes widened as she saw the miasma eroding the rebirth flames covering the Divine Bloodline Chimera, so she immediately moved away. Ephemion's destructive power was great, but what she was really concerned about was the toxic aspect of his abilities.
Just as the Divine Bloodline Chimera let go of his neck, Ephemion unleashed a new breath attack, this time from the demonic head on his chest.
This time, there were no infernal flames, instead pure toxic and poisonous miasma.
Eve knew she would have left an opening if she moved back, so as soon as the toxic miasma emerged, she waved her phoenix wings, sending a blast of rebirth fire.
"¡BOOM!"
The clash between the rebirth fire and toxic miasma generated a powerful explosion. Although it harmed the Divine Bloodline Chimera, it allowed Eve to move back, avoiding any poisonous or toxic wounds.
Epheminon and Eve look at each other, and their killing intent bursts as they flash back into the fray, reigniting the clash between the two apocalyptic beasts.
"ZNNN!" "ZNNN!" "ZNNN!" "ZNNN!"
The sound of flesh tearing apart spread across the battlefield as an infernal humanoid creature with obsidian skin, four arms, and axes was butchering giant monsters resembling mutated Outlandish Beasts of the Emptiness.
World Bearer Barbarian
Ragnar controlled the formation, and every move his axes made drew the world's power. By filling the World Bearer Barbarian with only Vikings and Primordials, he gained sublime control over World Strength.
The brute power of the axes was so high that it only took one strike to split apart those beasts whose bodies had the endurance of Rank 10 Artifacts.
However, even that immense power was not enough to overcome the enemy since there were not just dozens or hundreds but thousands of those mutated beasts.
Unlike Nero's enemy, who split his body into a swarm of cockroaches, the Knight facing Ragnar was more like a humanoid-shaped hive.
Dozens of mutated Outlandish Beasts of the Emptiness emerged every second from his stomach, and they marched toward the World Bearer Barbarian with wild killing intent.
"Your axes are strong, but let's see how long you can endure. I have collected beasts inside my body and mutated them for over a billion years. You cannot last more than me, Voidsworn, the Devourer of Void."
Ragnar did not waste his time with words and just kept hacking. There was a balance between the speed at which he could hack and the attack of the mutated beasts, so while he could not get near Voidsworn, neither could the beasts harm him.
However, an impasse was not something Ragnar was fine with. Even though he was using the World Strength to enhance his attacks, the fight still drained his energy and that of the Extreme Rank 9 inside the formation.
A sharp light appeared in Ragnar's eyes as he glanced at the rest of the Extreme Rank 9 life forms inside the World Bearer Barbarian.
The Daybreak Universe's warriors saw the intent in their leader's eyes, and all of them nodded without hesitation.
Ragnar smiled and felt extremely proud of leading such brave warriors into the battlefield. In the next second, the life force and soul force of everyone inside the World Bearer Barbarian began to burn, exponentially enhancing the strength of the formation.
Voidsworn's smile vanished as he saw how every strike of the World Bearer Barbarian unleashed arcs of multicolored light that destroyed dozens of mutated Outlandish Beasts of the Emptiness, making their way toward him.
The Knight unleashed more and more mutated beasts, but Ragnar killed faster than he could release. In less than a minute, the World Bearer Barbarian was already in front of him, hacking with those massive axes.
Voidsworn's face twisted as he was forced to burn his energy, twisting the bodies of the mutated beast into shields, spears, and swords to clash against Ragnar. The Knight created weapons by breaking apart and reforging the bodies of the mutated Outlandish Beasts of the Emptiness.
Ragnar only clenched his teeth as he burned his soul force and life force, attacking with all he had, breaking apart all the shields and weapons on his path.
Voidsworn saw how all his constructs were shattering to pieces, not lasting even a few seconds under the might of the World Bearer Barbarian, and resolution burned in his eyes as the mutated beasts began to cover his body.
In an instant, Voidsworn had transformed into a gargantuan creature with dozens of arms and large claws.
Ragnar pushed the World Bearer Barbarian to the limit, attacking with all his might, while Voidsword did the same with the deformed gargantuan humanoid monsters.
"BOOOOOMMMMM!"
Every time the axes and claws clashed, they would generate large shock waves.
The last fight inside the parallel dimension was between a three-headed dragon and a skeleton dragon. Both creatures had massive bodies and unleashed powers that could make standard super universes tremble.
Bahamut was in control over the Trinity Final Dragon, a formation with an immense destructive might capable of generating energy cannons.
"Insignificant lizard, you are nothing against me, Vexationar, the Harbinger of Chaos."
The skeletal dragon roared as he opened his maws, generating a blast of black-purple fire that collided with the energy cannons from the Trinity Final Dragon.
Bahamut and Vexationar made their energy burst, unleashing all their power.
"BOOOOOOOMMMMMM!"
Finally, the clash between forces generated a massive explosion illuminating the battlefield. Not even a second after that, both dragons lunged toward the other, engaging in a ferocious battle fight.
It was truly a phenomenal melee battle full of ferocity and destruction.
Although it might seem that the Trinity Final Dragon's battle style was wild, there was flawless technique behind every single one of his movements.
Bahamut had experienced hundreds of millions of years of battle and was used to this type of fight. Every action he did was in order to generate an opening he could take advantage of.
The Knight opened its maws, ready to blast a breath attack point blank on the Trinity Final Dragon's chest, but Bahamut struck down just in time to stop him.
