Chapter 1120: The Attack of Chaos

Rhode had to admit that he was truly caught off guard by Chaos this time due to his miscalculation. It wasn't that the Chaos Nest didn't appear in the game before, so he wasn't familiar with it. Instead, he admitted that he took them too lightly.

After all, this was his world.

If they were in another world, he would have been more cautious. But here, he underestimated the enemies, just like Canary and Mini Bubble Gum. They thought that they understood the history, culture, and technological advancement of this world more than Lydia and Erin. As a matter of fact, Rhode didn't expect this world to be invaded by Chaos. Even though he had a little hunch, he hadn't faced anything similar in the past, after all. Due to this reason, although the atmosphere of the base seemed somewhat strange to him, he still entered. But now... it was an entirely different matter.

"Bubble, Canary, Lydia, give it your all!"

Rhode yelled and extended his arm. In this quick motion, a pitch-black card appeared and flickered in his hand. An enormous magic cannon broke through the wall and into the roof, towering over him. Then, it blasted a blinding radiance ahead, where the blazing heat and immense force devoured the steel and flesh in its path instantly. Rhode couldn't care less about the base anymore. He allowed the enemies to control it entirely and reckoned there were no more survivors, which was also why he gave up on his initial plan and changed his attacking strategy immediately.

"———!"

In the blink of an eye, the magic cannon blasted a gigantic hole through the thick wall and roof. Extreme coldness entered through it and diffused across the base while sirens blared. The tentacles made from bloody flesh retreated as though they were affected by the harsh coldness and attempted to shrink back into their hard shells like mollusks. But at this time, Lydia, Canary, and Bubble made their moves. Although they weren't sure what exactly the creature was, the sinister and chaotic aura that exuded from the Chaos Nest startled Lydia. But if they didn't seize this opportunity, huge trouble would arise if the creature bounced back after its 'downtime'. They had to take advantage of its precarious position!

Meanwhile, a series of mysterious growls echoed suddenly. Then, everyone witnessed hundreds of skinned, air-filled 'men of flesh' crawling toward them out of the tunnel on all fours . It was apparent that they were the staff of the base. But now, they had been completely contaminated by Chaos and became creatures that resembled neither humans nor ghosts.

"Hmph."

Rhode snorted at this scene before dashing ahead with his sword again. At the same time, he swung his left arm to the side and the card of a little mermaid appeared in his hand. She appeared behind him silently, raised her tiny arms, and pushed them before her. Then, cold, chilly air whistled ahead, freezing a dozen creatures in the blink of an eye, while Rhode brandished his sword and shattered them into bits.

"Fady sonda gufire!"

Canary raised her arms high, spreading them apart. Dazzling scarlet rune lines like electrical circuits appeared and spread over her body, flickering in an eye-catching brilliance. A mystical rune appeared from the 'electrical circuit' from the position of her heart and as soon as it emerged, her surroundings trembled all of a sudden as though it had been attracted by an unknown force. Then, the surroundings blazed and sent out strings of flame from the inside-out, spreading like ripples. In an instant, the entire world had sunk into a sea of flames and it was no exception for the 'courageous' creatures of flesh who pounced on her. Before they reacted, they were instantly engulfed by the flames that abruptly rose from the ground and turned into ashes.

However, the flames weren't strong. After a few moments, they shrunk and Canary couldn't help but knit her brows. She wasn't too surprised that her flame and wind elemental spells weren't advantageous in this situation as flame required oxygen to burn, while wind needed the presence of air. As they were currently in a vacuum, Canary's strength was weakened to a certain degree. But as one of Rhode's most powerful assistants, it went without saying that she wouldn't give up on this fight. She swirled her eyes, extended her fair, slender finger, and tapped it lightly at the ground. Shortly after, the scorching flames coalesced into an enormous fire serpent that burst through the sturdy ground, sending deep, thunderous rumbles from underneath. Then, the revolting screams resounded in the entire base again. At a glance, the entire base had as though been lifted up from the violent rumbles before crashing back down. A series of dust and sand fluttered before it was blown away in all directions.

Meanwhile, Mini Bubble Gum and Lydia also made their moves.

Unlike Canary, who depended on environmental conditions for her skills, their strength didn't require any of that. If there was something that they needed, it would be 'light'. And now, the moon's surface had no lack of that from the sun.

Mini Bubble Gum pushed her arms forward. Her body was submerged in white, dazzling radiance entirely. The power of 'Supreme Privileges' reached its peak, bursting skyward in a blinding, eye-catching light column. The pure, white radiance smeared the boundaries of heaven and earth completely. All things seemed to lose their original shape as they fused as one within the white brilliance.

At the next moment, this unrivaled power erupted from the core of the petite, young lady.

Pure, sacred shock waves dispersed in all directions, ripping through the moon's surface effortlessly. The solid ground fissured into several deep, long cracks and this force was enough to destroy a city in any place. However, there were no living things or humans here, so they were able to unleash maximum strength without any obstruction!

This was the cleric's ultimate killer move: Light of Trial!

But this wasn't the end! Because at this moment, Lydia had expanded her wings and soared into the air. She laid her swords in a crisscross stance and the golden radiance emanating from the burning sun behind her had enveloped the entire moon's surface. Shortly after, she flourished her blades.

And this attack split heaven and earth.

All the radiance of the sun had as though coalesced in her blades. The two golden rays of light penetrated the massive base mercilessly! The steel-armored walls on the outside, strong enough to resist guided missiles, didn't stand a chance against her as though they were made of paper.

But this still wasn't enough!

Even though the combined attacks from the four of them destroyed almost 60 percent of the Americas Region's headquarters, the Chaos Nest apparently became more ferocious after losing its 'guise'. Shortly after, everyone witnessed countless tentacles shuttling out of the wreckage and ruins. Not only that, but they also squirted revolting flesh to reconstruct a new body. Right now, this creature didn't seem to be afraid of the harsh conditions of space anymore. On the other hand, it became even harder to deal with!

"Big Brother, we need to destroy its core before it assimilates into the entire moon. We have to stop it before it turns into the moon itself. It will be troublesome when that happens!"

Tsk, this creature defies all natural order it seems.

Rhode was startled after hearing his younger sister's hasty remarks. In the game, he had never witnessed something so insane that it could actually fuse with the moon. What sort of international joke was that? Could it be that such a huge object could still be fused into life?

"Let's go!"

At this thought, Rhode hesitated no more. He brandished his sword abruptly and dashed toward the wreckage of the base in a trail of afterimages. Canary, Mini Bubble Gum, and Lydia followed him closely. Based on the 'AoE' attack earlier, they also realized they couldn't deal effective damage to this enemy, which was why they had no choice but to destroy the core.

"... How is that possible?!"

Meanwhile, on a space shuttle hidden deep inside the base, Dr. Martin stared in disbelief at the screen that was displaying Rhode's group running toward them. He opened his eyes so widely that they were about to pop out of his eye sockets.

I knew those intruders were tough, but... how... could they be...

At this thought, Dr. Martin's expression turned incomparably pale.

"Move out right now, we're leaving this place!"

"Space shuttle ignition countdown: five, four, three, two, one..."

Boom!

The silver-whitish space shuttle took off from the depth of the base, flying towardEearth at a rapid speed.

"Oh-no, they're getting away!"

Upon witnessing everything through the monitor, Orchid Heart and Canary who were in the moon exploration vehicle knitted their brows. Mini Bubble Gum clenched her fists and stomped her feet anxiously. But at this moment...

"Don't worry, leave it to me. I sense the last slate up there. I will snatch it back."

"Your Highness Erin?"

As soon as they heard Erin's voice in their heads, they found that the moon princess had already left the moon exploration vehicle. At this moment, Erin was standing on the hill of a volcano, lifting her head, and tracking the space shuttle that had flown into the distance. Shortly after, an enormous black dragon appeared before everyone without any warning. Erin flapped her wings, turned around, and gazed at Canary and Mini Bubble Gum.

"Greet Her Highness Lydia on my behalf. I'll be right back."

At the next moment, the enormous black dragon soared into the night sky, following closely the space shuttle that had become one of the stars in the universe. In the blink of an eye, she vanished without a trace.

Meanwhile, the trio in the exploration vehicle returned to their senses. They gazed blankly at the starry sky and the huge, revolting, and bloody creature that was rolling constantly on the ground ahead of them. After a few moments, Mini Bubble Gum reached out her hand to wipe the sweat off her forehead.

"If I'm not wrong... that space shuttle is heading back to Earth... right?"
