The Martial Unity

Chapter 2993: Ultimate Victory

Time passed.

Many minutes flew by as the battle prolonged past an hour.

Each and every Martial Sage was able to sense the approaching conclusion of the battle as they launched countless attacks upon the eldritch chimera, ravaging its entire body with countless attacks, led by the Devil, the Reverend of Reckoning, and the Boundless Light that deployed the sum totality of their power towards annihilating the eldritch chimera.

Its wounds healed more slowly.

The onslaught of attacks that it unleashed upon Rui had dimmed visibly.

With each passing moment, the pressure that the creature was able to mount on the Dawnbringer had reduced substantially.

With each passing moment, the freer he got, the more he used his free power to restore as much of the Helheim technique as he possibly could to ensure that the Martial Sages understood where to target what.

The vigor of the eldritch chimera had also fallen.

The vitality of the gigantic, mountain-like body of the eldritch chimera grew visibly duller with each passing second. The blood-red Suns shining with blinding brightness within the depths of his eyes knew exactly why.

”It consumed a lot of energy for its metamorphosis.”

Of course it did. After all, it has shed and recycled a lot of dead flesh killed by Ruiʼs Gu poison as it recreated its entire body. If the creature had massive energy reserves, they had certainly bled when it was forced to evolve to a higher lifeform.

Its stamina limits became evidently clear as the creature struggled to withstand and heal all the attacks that the Martial Sages unleashed upon it as well as struggle to keep Rui at bay while he negated its attacks with greater and greater ease with each passing second and redirected more and more of his power to the helheim technique.

BOOOOOOOO000000000OOMMM!!!

BOOOO000000000000000MMM!!!

BOOOO00000000000000OMMM!!!

BOOOO0000000000000OOMMM!!!

BOOOOOOOO000000000OOMMM!!!

Attack after attack, the Martial Sages ravaged the eldritch chimera.

Wound after wound, it began bleeding profusely.

And yet, the eldritch chimera never once sought to move from the stationary position it

had been in from the very start.

Its strange, mountain-like body appeared to be almost designed to be stationary.

And yet, Rui knew from past experiences that these creatures assimilated and integrated mobility with the depths of their beings.

And thus, it begged the question.

”Why is it not running away?”

The blood-red Suns shining with blinding brightness within the depths of his eyes gazed at the eldritch chimera as he studied with the SOUL System.

He sensed pain and fear.

As well as a fierce determination and perseverance.

More than anything, he sensed an emotion deep within the creature that he had never expected to sense within it.

A fiercely intense desire to protect.

Chills crawled across his skin as an ominous sense of horror erupted within him. With the Enlightenment of Self, he knew that his dread was not founded on any rational evaluation.

It was pure instinct.

He dreaded what was to come.

Something so unfathomable that it eluded even his Prophecy of the Void.

It inspired so much dread within him that it drew every ounce of his attention.

And yet, it was precisely that intense focus that distracted him from something that was predictably inevitable.

CRACK CRACK CRACK!!!

SPLAT SPLAT SPLAT!!!

His body broke under the sheer weight of the attacks that the eldritch chimera launched at him.

That was not what shook him.

What shook him was the fact that his wounds didnʼt heal instantly, the way they had up

until now, from the very start of the battle.

The Transcendent Fruit had run out of juice.

His eyes flared with determination as he instantly began drawing from the primordial core, using pluripotent exotic matter to compensate for the absence of the Transcendent Healing Fruit. He did it so seamlessly that the Martial Sages hadnʼt even noticed.

But the eldritch chimera did.

Its focus had remained fixed on Rui ever since he began participating in the batle.

The slightest lag in his healing was all it took for the intelligent creature to understand what had happened.

All one million of its inhuman, monstrous eyes shifted away from Rui, focusing on the Martial Sages with unfathomable bloodlust and malice.

Rui sensed cruel glee unfolding within it as the attacks on him halted.

”RETREAT!” Rui roared as he saw the future unfolding before him in his vision, desperately strengthening his Helheim domain to the highest possible intensity that he possibly could have.

One million domains of absolute antitheticality taxed and weakened the eldritch chimera just enough to allow the Martial Sages to heed his warning and leap away as fast.

as possible, just in time.

Just in time to survive what it unleashed upon them.

The creature roared with fearsome bloodlust as it unleashed a titanic wave of destruction and force.

B000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

0000000000000000000000000000000000MMM!!!!!

The sheer destruction that ensued from the eldritch chimera, even as its body bled profusely with the countless wounds, was so intense that almost none of the Martial Sages that were struck by it emerged unscathed.

The three Transcendent candidates managed to deal with it in their own special ways while the peak Martial Sages emerged with wounds checkered across their bodies. The weaker Martial Sages would have undoubtedly died if it were for the likes of the Devil deploying his Singularities of Destruction to destroy the attack as much as he could, or the Reverend of Reckoning attacking the most critical chinks in the wave of destruction or Bodhisattva Maitreyi using powerful waves of light to weaken the attack before it struck the Martial Sages.

RUMBLE!!!!!!!

The sheer wave of destruction shook every world to its foundations as heaven and earth and the very fabric of space and time quaked under the weight of the attack. The battle paused as the sheer energy flux that emerged from the attack was much greater than that of any other attack that had emerged prior,

A tremendous cloud of smoke and dust covered the entirety of the battlefield and heaven and earth as the skies crackled with plasma and the lands melted to lava.

STEP

The wounded and injured Martial Sages stood up as they faced the profusely bleeding and exhausted eldritch chimera with an expression of grave severity. For the briefest of moments, an ominous silence spread across the battlefield.

”ATTACK!!!!!” Rui bellowed as he unleashed all the power he possessed.

All hell broke loose as the final clash for ultimate victory commenced.

RUMBLE!!!!!!!
