Chapter 129 - Calamity (2/2)
”No!”
”Jellian! How could you!”
”This can't be happening...”
Multiple cries of sadness and despair started to resonate throughout the alliance as not only Jellian, the mage that shot out the blade, was killed, a few others were also caught up in the mess, ending up getting killed as well.
Then again, the more one kills in a war, the faster they can take the advantage.
Amidst all of the screams that resonated throughout the alliance, one voice remained calm and composed as it reverberated, ”Everyone, keep calm and come closer to me!”
”That...”
”The leader!”
”Boss Harriott!”
As they listened to the words of their leader being uttered, it was like everyone had been given a wake up pill, bringing back themselves from the grips of death and despair as they followed Harriott's words to a T.
It did not take long for the remaining members of the Verdant Nut Alliance to group up with their leader, forming a triangular formation of mages that faced against Chonk.
Then again, Chonk was never alone in the first place. He still had his slaves help him out, with most of them focused on destroying the alliance buildings and removing the heritage they left for the future generation just in case. But there were some that stayed beside Chonk, eager to find out what the alliance's final move was.
”My brothers, go ahead and use your strongest move and direct them upwards!” Harriott shouted to his members. ”After that, I'll do the rest!”
”Alright boss! [Surging Tide]!”
”[Burning Fang]!”
”[Everlasting Chill]!”
”[Sundering Earth]!”
”[Ultimate Fuck It All Move]!”
”[All or Nothing Beam]!”
”[I Don't Know What To Call This Move, But I Can Assure You Boss That It's A Strong Move Nonetheless]!”
As each and every member of the alliance started shooting their ultimate moves upward, Harriott flew upwards to a height of ten meters or so. He then started to circulate the SP in his body, expanding it outwards as it captured the energy inside each of the spells his members shot out.
While continuing to absorb more and more ultimate level spells, Harriott could not help but shout towards Chonk and his gang, ”Although you can destroy our alliance, our spirit shall never give in!”
'Man, the line I said was very cool,' Harriott could not help but chuckle to himself. 'I should really warn Zenissa and Herellia about them though. I'll do that as I shoot out this ultimate move.'
Eventually, Harriott had accumulated enough energy from the spells, coalescing them into a large sphere of energy. He then threw it towards where Chonk stood.
”This is the combination of all of the ultimate spells my members have learned! All of our efforts, experiences, emotions, everything, is in this ball of extreme power!”
”We shall never give in! Our unyielding wills will never allow it!”
”Take this! [Spirit Bomb]!”
Whoosh!
Although it looked like the large energy ball was moving very slowly, it was in fact moving at a speed that allowed it to reach a meter away from Chonk at the instant Harriott was finished with his monologue.
But before the ball could collide with him, Chonk said.
”Horell.”
”Do it.”
...
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Rather than take a few hours to get back to the alliance, thanks to the [Movement of the Void] which has now been upgraded to X-grade Mortal level due to the Transcending Comprehension Leaf's effects, Aurus was able to cut down the travel time to 15 minutes.
Swish!
As he gradually slowed down, he landed on the center of the hall that served as the entry point for the members of the alliance.
Although he was quite familiar with the alliance, this time around, he felt that the aura surrounding the hall was extremely gloomy, with a hint of fear and despair added into it.
”I feel like something bad has happened,” Aurus could not help but say as his gut feeling was strong this time. Just as he was about to call out the name of a member, Herellia came to the large hall and saw Aurus.
”Aurus! I'm glad you're safe!” As Herellia got closer to Aurus, Aurus could not help but become confused as to why she was happy to see him safe.
”Safe? Me? Of course, I'd be safe,” Aurus replied, only to be silent for a bit as he pondered ovee the reasons why Herellia would say that. Eventually, he asked, ”Did something happen while I was gone?”
”Yeah.” Herellia nodded through her aura at Aurus' question. At that instant, Herellia's mood became more solemn as she replied, ”We just received the news from Harriott, the leader of the Verdant Nut Alliance, that...”
”The Verdant Nut Alliance is no longer here.”
