67 Pearl City Defense 4 (2/2)
The crystal that now shone like a small sun, was announcing that it was fully charged!
Due to Lerna's impact, although the crystal was charged, it trembled like it was going to break at any time soon.
”Lerna, we better get out of here before all this explodes!” Shouted Rainer as he headed to the nearest 'exit'.
Rainer and Lerna fled through the 'trash' tunnel, Rainer was very slow, so Lerna had to swallow him and slide through the narrow tunnel.
...
”Take cover, it's going to use that beam a second time!” Shouted Kradlo while everyone was looking for a shelter where they could try to hide from the 'death ray'.
The giant tortoise, furious by the continuous attacks on its body decided to end this fight using its ray in full power!
A light could be seen at the end of its throat, many people tried to attack that light, but the distance and pressure hindered them.
Many cultivators prayed not to be hit by the beam and end up like their predecessors.
”...!”
The magical beast looked with disdain at the ants beneath it, its beam was already charged and ready to be released, but....
Panic could be seen in the giant tortoise's gaze as it tried to cancel its attack, but it was too late....
A powerful light began to emerge from different parts of its body, it looked like a torch!
Boom!
The world was filled with white again and people lost their hearing, but this time it was the turtle who exploded!
Burnt pieces of flesh and boiling blood rained down from the heavens as everyone focused their gaze on the giant magical beast.
After the world regained its colors, the giant tortoise emitted steam from all sides of its body as it leaned on the right side, its body was unable to hold its own weight!
Shake... shake...
The magical beast's enormous weight caused an earthquake in the area, but nobody cared, they had won! Although they didn't kill it directly, they won!
All joy disappeared after the beast roared in pain and anger.
”...!”
”It is alive! Even that didn't kill it! We are doomed...” Shouted a cultivator as he fled.
Many followed him, but they all stopped when they saw something they never expected to see!
The magical beast tried to rise in spite of all its wounds, but the damage was such that it was impossible for it to get up...
It was then...
When a long figure appeared from one of its many holes and vomited Rainer!
After realizing that they had come out of the beast's interior, Rainer noticed that it had not died yet!
”You're too persistent to be a simple giant tortoise!” Shouted Rainer as he charged through a hole in its chest.
”Aaaaagh!”
Rainer roared as he used all his strength in this last blow, a blow able to cross any obstacle and wipe out this beast's life!
Xiu!
Boosted by his emotions a transparent slice emerged from his blade, the slice was neither fast nor slow but one was unable to detect its position!
It was like the attack did not move on the same space-time as them!
Slash!
All in its path was either dodged or melted in sand, nothing could block this attack!
The tortoise's eyes were wide open, it never imagined that an ant could possess so much power!
A disbelieving glance appeared on its face as the attack destroyed its heart and extinguished all source of life within it...
Breathing...Breathing...
Rainer crumbled as two lights were absorbed by his artifacts, that last blow drained every last drop of energy from his body.
”What was that peculiar feeling I had during that last attack?” Rainer thought as he lost consciousness.
