Strongest Necromancer Of Heaven's Gate

Chapter 697 Every Act Of Creation Is First An Act Of Destruction [Part 1]

?

Flamma, who was busy slicing everything around him, paused when he saw the Giant Earth Turtle make its appearance.

Due to its size which surpassed a hundred meters in height, it was impossible for anyone to not see it unless they were blind.

Its presence alone was quite domineering, overshadowing all the countless Monsters in its surroundings.

General Fahad, as well as the Defenders of the Yelan Kingdom, felt a lump form in their throat at the sight of the powerful Monster that was supposed to be fighting against the bulk of their Main Army led by their two Great Generals.

For it to appear here, while falling from the sky, was simply heaven-defying.

"Time for Plan B," Lux said.

However, just before he could act on his plan, a defiant voice spread in the surroundings.

"Crystal Dragon's Breath!"

Aur unleashed his Dragon Breath and even used an Amplification Artifact to increase its power threefold.

The Dragon Breath flew straight towards the Giant Earth Turtle. But before it could even hit its target, a giant wall of earth over a hundred meters tall jutted out of the ground and blocked the attack completely.

A moment later, the wall of earth transformed into a crystal wall.

Seeing this, Aur clenched his fist before preparing to fire another Dragon Breath. However, the Dreadnaught-Ranked World Boss didn't give him another chance.

The giant crystal wall shattered and transformed into countless crystal shards that fell on the battlefield like rain.

This was, without a doubt, a deadly attack that didn't distinguish between friend or foe, killing anything it hit.

"Shield Wall!" Pazuzu shouted, and the rest of the Elite Spirit Protectors did the same.

A moment later, several blue tower shields appeared in front of the Defenders, blocking the crystal shards that could potentially wipe out everyone in the city.

"Defend yourselves!!" General Fahad gave his order, making all the soldiers crouch low on the ground, raising their shields in front of them.

The Hecatoncheires that were defending the city spread their arms that numbered in the hundreds to block the incoming crystal shards as a second line of defense, protecting the soldiers behind them.

A few seconds later, blood rained down from the sky as the flying monsters got pierced by the crystal shards, receiving serious injuries. Some of these monsters died instantly, while others received fatal injuries that caused them to fall from the sky, and crush anything below them.

Including the Soldiers whom they were fighting earlier.

Seeing that its devastating attack worked, the Giant Earth Turtle jumped high in the air and curled itself into a ball, looking like a gigantic boulder.

"D-Don't tell me!" Flamma, who was right in front of the Giant Turtle, immediately ran away when it saw it rolling in his direction.

"Zagan! Lazarus! Attack!" Lux ordered.

Following his orders, Zagan and Lazarus bombarded the gigantic rolling boulder that was headed toward the city with Black Lightning bolts and Cold Flames in an attempt to stop or slow it down.

Unfortunately, even though their attacks could bypass most defenses, even directly attacking the Monster's soul, the Giant Earth Turtle was unfazed as their combined attacks didn't even leave a dent in its body.

"Mom!" Flamma, who was running faster than an Olympic sprinter on Steroids, knew that it was impossible for him to outrun the Giant Rolling Boulder that was making the entire land tremble.

Lux gritted his teeth and decided to save the Half-Orc by transforming into a lightning bolt.

Zagan did the same because he wouldn't allow Lux to die no matter what.

Leoric followed, but since he was considerably slower than Lux and Zagan, he was left behind completely.

'Not good!' Lux thought as he sped towards the Half-Orc, who was only a heartbeat away from turning into a pancake. 'I won't make it!'

Just as Flamma was about to call out his Mother's name for a second time, the Giant Rolling Boulder stopped completely.

This gave Lux the opportunity to grab the Half-Orc and take him away to safety.

Flamma, who had just been saved, sighed in his heart. He was so close to pissing himself due to his near-death experience. Fortunately, the World Boss' Death Roll stopped before it could graze his skin.

"Back in the day, I could have stopped this monster with just a finger. Oh, I've grown too old."

Everyone on the battlefield, including Lux, looked in awe when they saw a giant black hand holding onto the curled-up Giant Earth Turtle, preventing it from rolling forward.

On top of that giant black hand stood an Old Halfling.

The old man was wearing a traveler's robe whose colors had faded away. Clearly, it had seen better days in the past, but now, it had lost all of its luster.

He was holding a walking stick in one of his hands, while the other rested behind his back. His back was slightly bent, just like any old person who was in the last years of their life.

Even so, the way he carried himself made him look like an esteemed warrior that had seen countless battles in the past.

Realizing that something was holding onto its body, the Giant Earth Turtle started to squirm around in an attempt to break free from the giant black hand that held it in place.

"Still resisting?" Gaap chuckled before lightly tapping his wooden walking stick on the black hand, where he was standing. "It has been a while since I allowed you to play with something, so play to your heart's content. Just make sure that you don't accidentally kill it, okay?"

As if responding to his words, the earth shook violently, making everyone who was standing on the ground unable to keep their balance.

Half a minute later, the sky darkened as something truly gigantic blocked the rays of the sun.

"By the Dragon Gods…," Cethus muttered as his vision locked onto a gigantic Black Golem, which was over three hundred meters tall at the very least. "Could that possibly be Antero?!"

A hideous laughter echoed in the surroundings as the Black Golem opened its mouth, making those who heard it subconsciously shudder.

Out of habit, Lux took out his Soul Book in order to identify the monstrous creature in front of him.

However, nothing could have prepared him for the shock that ran through his entire body when he saw the creature's information.
