Chapter 269: Battle In The Abyss part 3 (1/2)

Those crimson flames were little by little, destroying the defensive layer of Mana protecting that golem and the main motive behind that, was the unending supply of energy Seth currently had. He kept increasing the strength behind his fire technique, until at a certain point, it broke through the red crystal golem's defenses and fiercely assaulted the beast.

Roar!

The creature made of tough crystals, should have been completely resistant against most types of fire, but those red flames, burned it as if it was burning a body made of flesh. The fire clung to the surface of that creature's body, quickly turning some crystals into ashes and making it lose its notions.

Seth suddenly accelerated, diving towards the huge burning area filled with his raging flames. While passing through it, his greatsword absorbed those flames and assumed an unholy appearance, already announcing doom was about to descend. When Seth arrived beside the crystal monster, he saw it was struggling hard to put the fire off of its body, so he took advantage of that situation to strike decisively.

He swinged his greastword from the bottom to the top, creating a red line right in the middle of that big creature made of crystals. That line kept shinning with a crimson glow, inducing despair on any of the creatures that happened to see it.

Crack!

The frontal part of that crystal golem started to crack and many parts of its crystal coating, started to fall off. The monster stumbled backwards, but each step it took, more and more parts of it were falling off, until it took one last step, before completely stopping. If it were to take another step backwards, the creature felt its whole body would crumble and its existence would cease.

Suddenly, at that moment of life and death, the crystal beast started to feel that its core was heating up. From inside it, a Mana shockwave left and rapidly went through everything. The energy wave strangely did nothing to Seth, but for the other beasts witnessing that fight, it was like they were fed with power and adrenaline.

That Mana shockwave served not only as a signal, but as a buff. After being blessed by that buff, those spectating monsters felt their Mana getting stronger than ever. All of them felt restless and immediately charged forwards, ignoring the fact they were not Seth's opponents.

However, there were so many beasts, that Seth couldn't even begin to count. The number of different Mana signatures approaching him was so high, that with a quick scan of his powerful Soul Sense, he was able to pick more than a thousand and five hundred different auras.

All of them had already exposed their claws and bared their fangs, ready to destroy that single common enemy that had disturbed their peace; disturbed the balance.

”Snort!”

Seth suddenly grabbed his greatsword with both his hands and pinned it down on the floor. Half of it instantly entered the ground, lodging there while waiting for Seth's next move. Seth continued to hold the weapon with both his hands, making it seem like he had given up fighting. He closed his eyes and assumed a stance that was not a battle stance, totally concentrating on something else.

However, he wasn't really giving up and from inside his body, a strange thumping sound echoed through the entire area. Those mindless beasts were not able to notice it and only Lan Xue realized that something was off.

Red lines appeared on both Seth's arms, spreading towards his greatsword. After they appeared on his greatsword, they quickly started to spread towards the ground, going everywhere around that area. The speed in which those lines were advancing, was at least hundred times faster than the speed those beasts had, while charging towards Seth.

When Seth felt he had encapsulated every single one of them, he abruptly opened his eyes and lightly said while looking towards the red crystal golem: ”It's time for your doom...”

Suddenly, his dark elemental energy exploded out of his body. Mixed with it, there was a lot of essence of corruption, creating a spiraling energy that was red and dark at the same time. That energy entered his greatsword and powered it up to a new height. That power was then directed towards the soil, already marking the end for each one of the creatures standing on the area he had marked.

At that moment, there were already hundred plus beasts jumping towards him, ready to bite him to death. All of them were already releasing their special abilities or trying to suppress him with their strong aura. Some of them were turning their Mana into specified elemental techniques, but suddenly, a dark crimson light made everything stop.

”Doomsday.”
