Chapter 1146 - Ruined Edge (2/2)

Even though Agios’s body began to shrink under the continuous attacks, an odd rumble sounded from within its body. Upon hearing the sound, Rhode’s heart sank instantly as he sensed an extreme danger approaching.

“Full defense!”

Rhode commanded, withdrew his sword, and swung his left arm forward. A shield engraved with a humiliating pose of a young lady appeared in front of him. At that moment, Rhode couldn’t care less about feeling ashamed anymore. He was certain that this wasn’t a deathbed struggle by Agios. Upon hearing his warning, the young ladies stopped their attacks and set up layers upon layers of defensive barriers around them swiftly. To Canary and Mini Bubble Gum, refusing to listen to commands during a BOSS raid was the behavior of one seeking death. Even though Lydia and Erin weren’t aware of this, it didn’t stop them from making the correct judgment.

Indeed. As soon as Rhode released the defensive shield, the wild, roaring purple thunderbolts exploded, breaking free from all restraints and scattering everywhere. In an instant, Rhode felt like a tiny boat trembling in the raging waves. One by one, thunderbolts that were thicker than arms bombarded the entire world mercilessly. Be it the sky, land, or space, they were all crushed by the thunderbolts. The land fissured and the earth’s crust crumbled. The azure sky tore apart like cracked, shattered glass. Everything fell apart, perished, and disappeared in this pounding of thunderbolts.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Rhode didn’t know how long the thunderbolts lasted. He did not have much time left to analyze the situation. All he could do was to hold up the shield before him in vain. Fortunately, even though this piece of shield was extremely humiliating, its quality was assured as he was completely unscathed even after the series of thunderbolts came to an end.

But it seemed like the enemy wasn’t in a perfect condition. Rhode clearly witnessed the body coalesced from the black mist crumbling. The surroundings were covered with twinkling purple lightnings like robots in movies when their armor was blown into bits and their internal parts were revealed.

“You… lackeys of Order!”

Agios swung his arm furiously. In this movement, a long, purple whip coalesced from lightning appeared in a flash and lashed at Rhode ahead. Facing this attack, Rhode dashed forward. In such a situation, the dangers of taking the initiative to get closer than fighting from a distance were much smaller.

“———!”

But at the same time, a golden light beam descended from above, piercing through Agios’s body. Lydia widened her wings comfortably, hovering in midair while raising her hands parallel to each other. Innumerable sacred runes revolved around the young lady, before transforming into an enormous mirror that were as though storing the power of the sun. Perhaps sensing that this was the crucial moment of the battle, none of them held back any longer. Facing this enemy, the young ladies gave their all.

“Ahhhhh!”

The holy radiance dissolved the black mist and penetrated through Agios’s chest, causing it to howl in agony. Before it retaliated, the earth rumbled. Erin gripped the sword with both hands. At that moment, the sleek sword that was merely one-meter-long metamorphosed into a gigantic light blade that was over ten meters in length. She flourished the light blade at the Chaos Creature from above in earth-shattering airwaves, slashing through Agios’s body and slamming into the ground.

“No———!”

Agios had expended all its energy on this attack, but didn’t expect these people to escape entirely unscathed. It had lost the strength to continue maintaining its form any longer. If it had more time, perhaps it could find an opportunity to launch another attack. But now, be it Rhode or Lydia, none of them were gracious enough for a fight to the death after it returned to its senses.

The holy radiance and flames erupted from the flat ground. At that moment, Mini Bubble Gum and Canary exerted all of their strength. The turbulent magma merged into a giant snake, widening its wings and barging into the body of the black mist. On the other side, along with Mini Bubble Gum’s movements, the enormous magical ritual on the ground surged with several chains appearing from within, binding tightly onto Agios.

“Big Brother, now’s the chance!”

“Everyone stay away!”

Upon hearing his younger sister’s direction, Rhode also noticed the crumbling presence in the center of this small world. He extended his arm and sensed the entire world taking shape in his hand. Chaos was like indestructible cockroaches. If he were to let Lydia purify Chaos, who knew how much time was needed. Fortunately, he had no intention of counting on his strength to defeat Agios either.

“Shatter!”

Rhode yelled, widening his eyes and staring at the routed part of Agios’s body. He extended his right hand and clenched with force.

Along with this action, the center of Agios’s body shattered like pieces of debris scattering from smashed lenses. At the same time, powerful streams of airflows blustered, absorbing everything in the surroundings. After losing its balance, the space here was about to collapse completely. Agios extended its arm in vain as it had already fused into this world completely. It couldn’t break free from the restraints at all. It would perish alongside this world.

“Retreat now!”

Rhode didn’t stay behind for long. He swung his arm abruptly and the fragments swirling in the air emanated brilliant radiances, intertwining into a gigantic net of golden lines that shrouded the four young ladies. Then, they disappeared entirely.

Shortly after, the space crumpled.

Everything was heading toward the end.
