Chapter 474 - 474 No choice.
474 No choice.
Not too far from the frigid zone was a furnace, and in it was the Ebony and the humanoid queen ant.
The environment was reacting to the rage of Ebony, heating to the point that all trees in the area had been reduced to ashes and the ground the queen ant stood on a crater.
Unlike the koodron, the exoskeleton of the ant queen was 3 times as hard. Its humanoid form granted it greater mobility which allowed it to evade spells.
Thanks to chromastone and its exoskeleton, the queen ant was able to survive this long, but unfortunately for it, Ebony was done playing.
Instantly, 50 fire spells appeared all around the queen ant, and on Ebony’s command, they all fired at it.
Seeing the sea of spells just a few meters away, the queen ant didn’t have the space to dodge or time to cast high-tier spells. So it conjured 3 layers of chromastone in the shape of a dome.
The sea of spells broke past the 1st layer of chromastone but didn’t have enough power to go past the 2nd layer, causing it to decrease in strength.
Sensing no other attacking coming its way, the ant queen was able to conjure 2 more chromastone domes when Ebony shot fireballs 3 times its size.
BOOM!
.....
The collision created an explosion so large that every beast close to them was instantly killed while pushing away the humans and beasts in combat.
The gigantic spell had broken past the domes, sending the queen ant flying through the other side but even at that, it was still breathing.
As it was recovering from the attack, Ebony appeared behind it before stomping on it and howling.
The markings on its body began glowing and out of nowhere, a pillar of fire crashed down on both of them.
The intense heat from the 5-meter-wide fire pillar which could hardly be considered tanning for Ebony, was boiling the queen ant from the inside.
After a minute of continuous heating, the steel-like exoskeleton had begun melting, allowing Ebony to bite off the queen ant’s head.
…
“Shit!” Blake cursed as the armored gorilla tore the tree branches, but that was when Ebony’s prior attack sent them flying.
‘Ebony, what the fuck!’ Blake cursed as the barrier of the rampant armor absorbed most of the shockwave from colliding with a tree.
The shockwave had put everyone in a bad position but hadn’t affected the armored gorilla that much.
Ou! Ou! Ou!
Seeing the humans on the floor, the armored gorilla beat its chest in joy as it dash at Blake who was the closest.
‘Shit!’ Blake cursed for the umpteenth time as he ignored the vibrations caused by the armored gorilla and threw out 2 void daggers to the sides.
“Are you shitting me?” Blake was shocked when hundreds of earth spikes shot at the path of the void daggers without the armored gorilla slowing down.
‘I need help guys!’ Blake said through his mind link with Ebony and Ivory.
The only reason he was confident enough to face the king rank beast at first was because of his speed and most importantly void shift.
Now that he was currently on his butt, and void shift being rendered useless by the intellect of the armored gorilla, any wrong move would be his last.
Blake’s usage of soul call was successful as Ebony and Ivory returned to him.
Immediately, Blake stretched out his right hand and instantly a barrier of ice blocked the path of the armored gorilla.
Using the earth element, the armored gorilla came to a halt before turning to the Ivory that just walked out of an ice fog.
The presence of Ivory meant the death of the raptor kite. So without thinking, the king rank armored gorilla turned and began fleeing.
Although the rest of the beast army would die, it was still a win situation because it now knew exactly what killed the last set.
The armored gorilla couldn’t help but smile as Ivory wasn’t giving chase, but the smile instantly vanished as Ebony appeared in front of it.
Immediately, the armored gorilla smashed its fists on the floor as it roared, causing a large barrier of chromastone to erupt in front of it.
Unfortunately for the armored gorilla, it had no idea of how the koodron died.
Ebony jumped into the air and turned into a flaming tornado that broke through the chromastone and crashed into its chest while carrying it into the air.
When they were 20 meters into the air, Ebony moved out of the way and a gigantic ice glacier pierced its already mangled body.
‘This is the 2nd time I am seeing this combo.’ Blake thought.
[Although it looks excessive, it actually isn’t. Just like the koodron, the armored gorilla is most powerful when on the ground.
So Ebony takes it high up in the air where it is powerless, and then Ivory finishes it off.] The system explained the simple but top IQ play that just took place.
‘It is scary and at the same time awesome that Ebony and Ivory have so much battle knowledge in such a short time.’ Blake said.
[Remember the other beasts are still alive.] The system said as the beasts were now retreating since their leaders were dead.
‘That’s true!’ Blake said.
He was currently on the outskirts of the battlefield, so all he needed to do was give Ebony and Ivory the order to not let any escape.
This time he wasn’t going to do that, instead he intercepted a sklade and stabbed his void dagger into it before allowing it to escape with a few others.
Although he would have loved to slaughter all, there was no point in that. Whether he does or not they would come back with a bigger army.
So the best choice was to find out exactly what was going on because these beasts were too organized.
