Chapter 304 Level Up! (2/2)

Joshua had in fact prevailed in doing so.

Soon after, the Holy Knight has also noticed that the golems actually did not have the gut to take another step closer towards the air cocoon that seemed helpless and vulnerable. The puppets that were bestowed only with the most basic and fundamental ability to determine, were standing behind the line they assumed to be the 'extremely dangerous' region. Even with their simplest mind, they knew that stepping into the danger zone would only result in pointless sacrifices. Hence, the monsters circled the warrior without stepping into the danger zone. The movements of the monsters led the number of the monsters in other places to increase. In order to resist against the sudden increase in the enemy forces in his surroundings and to prevent the enemies from reaching the body of the Father Nature, Roland had to turn away from the situation of the warrior as he focused his mind on eliminating those flying puppets that could move swiftly and freely in the air. He had to focus on using his full strength in order to ensure success.

On earth, Black felt a little pressured. The Mithril and Adamantine-tier golems emerged from nowhere as their numbers grew. Black could no longer break through the army of golems of those tiers simply by using its charge attack. Hence, it needed to launch its dragon breath occasionally in order to annihilate a wave of golems. However, the number of these golems did not seem to be decreasing at all even though they were being showered with ferocious attacks. Instead, their number continued to grow, making the resistance against the golems much more difficult as time passed.

High above in the sky right beside the huge air cocoon, the spirits of Ying and Ling surrounded the air cocoon. Their psionic bodies were currently undergoing an enhancement process as they were being held in Joshua's hands. They could sense that their master was fine for the moment. The warrior was growing stronger by the seconds, resembling the natural process of a metamorphosis, an essential transformation that makes a being much stronger after the process is completed. It felt as if their master was like a hard steel, slowly getting forged into a razor-sharp blade with scorching fire under the fierce beating of a blacksmith. Hence, even though the two divine armaments were troubled, they could only witness the process of metamorphosis of the huge cocoon without making even the slightest voice or sound that might possibly interrupt their master.

The will of the Father Nature was paying much attention to this from afar. Its spirit was observing the air cocoon that was floating in mid-air as it unleashed tremendous waves of despair into its surroundings. Upon seeing the happening of it, the existence could not help but let out a sigh.

—Even at their time which was deemed to be the most prosperous era of all time, a person of Joshua's age crossing into the sacred realm of the Extraordinary would be deemed as fast. Such a person is known as a prodigy that only existed once in a century. The existence that seen that also noticed that the warrior possessed the Legacy of the Sage that the Sage left behind upon its departure from the world. Perhaps that was the main reason the existence has chosen a bunch of outsiders from another world to carry out a significantly defining task in saving this world.

Judging from the current situation, that choice was indeed the best choice the existence has made. That man did not let it down at all. He might even embrace more of its power and strength upon reaching the threshold of Supreme and complete its plan that it laid out.

The green light gleamed brightly within the area of the blessing. The golems that were shined upon by the green light instantly got entangled by tenacious vines that grew right out from their bodies, disabling them of their capabilities to move, allowing Roland and the others to kill them. At the same time, the branches of the giant tree that were petrified at the bottom of the mountains was slowly turning back to brown. With the continuous explosions in the surrounding, the huge underground cave gradually collapsed.

From the sky, it seemed that the entire area of Mountains of Origin was slowly sinking. The Elven guards that were riding on the airships are astounded by the spectacular scene—their jaws dropped open. They have not even recovered from the shock they got from the awakening of the Mother Tree. Their gazes were fixated on the magnificent divine miracle, completely unaware that the ground beneath them has sunk over hundreds of meters.

Boom!

With a tremendous noise, everyone turned around and looked at the Mountains of Origin behind them. Even the elven guards are shocked to the point they felt numb. At that time, they screamed out loud, one after another, some of them even shrieking.

The ground where the mountains stood had vanished. As the underground cave collapsed, the entire area above the collapsed cave, along with the hills, has sunken. The entire area has turned into a gigantic pit. In the center of the giant pit, lied a vein rooted deeply into the earth. A giant tree that is covered with mudstones is revealed.

The giant tree was magnificent. A part of its canopy was as tall as a mountain. If it wasn't because half of its gigantic sunken main trunk, the giant tree could have reached the Void beyond the clouds and the sky.

Mudstones and gravel fell from the branches of the divine tree. The outer shell of the giant tree that was initially covered up by rocks has gradually shattered as they peeled from the giant tree, revealing the brown trunk of the giant tree. With the breezes of the green Divine Power, new shoots were growing all over the branches of the tree. The scent of life, nature, and purification filled up the entire sanctuary.

A thousand years ago, the Father Nature came to the world of Illgner with a colony of elves. The world was initially a continent filled with the wilderness and deserts. The world was not fit for the survival of the elves. As Father Nature wanted to make Illgner inhabitable, so it plunged itself deep into the world in the form of a humongous root as it began absorbing the magic energy in this world to modify the nature of the entire world of Illgner. Other than the volcanoes and other locations unsuitable for habitation, Father Nature had absorbed every trace of magic energy in every inch of the world to reform Illgner into a world suited for the elves.

However, the action of Father Nature has brought an unprecedented natural disaster upon the living beings which had been living peacefully in the world. And because of the sufferings that were happening across that world, the Evil God 'Calamity' that was wandering aimlessly in the Void had been attracted to the Illgner world.

As Father Nature revealed its true form, which has awoken to another level, all of the golems instantly raved as their bodies began to glow with intense magic energy. They were beginning to operate their bodies at an overload as they were ready to break through the line of defense set up by Roland and Black. Their main objective was to destroy the existence of the giant tree.

The ten light wheels that lingered in the sky began to spin rapidly in order to gather their powers and strengths. At the same time, the silvery light flashed like bright stars in the sky. The lights of the sky fire beamed across the sky as they tore through the dimension in order to reach the giant tree. The attacks aimed to wipe out the giant tree, just like they did with Mount Sigma.

The power of an Evil God was the power of the Chaos that could reduce everything into nothingness. Even though it could not create like how Divine Power works, it could bring immeasurable destruction to everything.

However, the silver beam that was launched towards the giant tree was suddenly blocked by a green protective barrier that instantly emerged before the giant tree. The surface of the light barrier rippled like a huge wave. However, it was not torn apart. It remained tough despite the attack.

The attack of the Evil God of Calamity has gone wasted. However, regardless of the aerial golems or the puppets that remained on the ground, all of the enemy forces were becoming even more berserk. They were no longer trying to attack or kill Roland and Black. Instead, they were attempting to break through the line of defense to approach the giant tree. Currently, their priority has been set to attack the Divine Tree of Beginnings that was currently awakening. Several monsters that were as large as a fortress emerged in the sky behind the moving dark clouds. They unleashed a stream of magic energy to suppress Roland and Black. Their main goal was to make sure that the golem army could march towards their main target—the giant tree—without being interrupted.

On the ground, the golems began to merge with each other. They fused themselves into one as they turned themselves into new stone giants. That was not the end of it. With the infinite Magic energy in the bodies of the puppets, the substances around their bodies were gradually changing as well. They were changing from rock into metal. Then, the color of their bodies turned yellowish like gold. They appeared to be evolving into terrifying Titan Colossus again.

The momentum of the golems was becoming more ferocious than before. Roland and Black seemed to be feeling a little bit overwhelmed by the enemy forces. Even though they were powerful, they were obviously having a disadvantage in number—the horrific attacks of the puppet army was as terrifying as the assault of a tidal wave. The both of them were drowning in the golem army. Although the two of them remained in the line of defense as they destroyed any golems that came into contact with them, more and more golems have managed to slip through their defenses as the monsters charged at the Father Nature.

However, suddenly Roland and Black, who were barely holding on, heard a deep voice that sounded very familiar.

”I've kept you waiting, my friends.”

A hint of wild laughter came after. He did not seem to be bothered by the tidal wave of puppets that were marching towards Father Nature. Instead, he let out a mad and loud laughter as he said, ”I have a good news to tell you all!”

A red light suddenly appeared. It shot across the sky like a lightning bolt. All of the golems along the way were completely destroyed. None of them survived the onslaught of the red light. Explosions filled up the battlefield, followed by terrifyingly powerful impacts. Because of that, countless aerial golems began to fall to the ground like golem rain. Another wave of explosions filled the air again.

I have leveled up!
