Chapter 504 - Sigil Monster (part 5)
*SWOOSH*
The massive golden blade sung, cutting through the air before it dug into the giant monster's head, barely missing the center of the burning sigil.
"GHH-WRRRAAAAAAAGH!"
The sigil Gorut growled and - but what at first sounded like the howl of pain turned into a bloodthirsty roar, and the creature slammed both of its hands into the spot where Roan was.
"BACK OFF, AND JUST DIE!"
The blond prince let out his own roar and tore his weapon out of the beast's head and began swinging it around leaving deep cuts into hands that tried to crush him.
"GUAAAGH!"
Sigil monster growled as another swing managed to cut off two fingers off of its left hand so it changed its strategy to shaking its head wildly in order to shake off the annoying pest.
"AS IF!"
*STAB*
Roan did not let the monster's plan work, and instead used the momentum to burrow more than half of his sword's length into the creature's forehead - but instead of finishing the beast, his attack resulted in a concentrated red and black smoke to erupt straight in his face.
"...GHUH...!"
The blond prince started bleeding from his eyes, nose, ears, and mouth instantly, and another shake of the sigil monster's head had thrown him in the sky.
"My prince...!"
Thankfully for him, the brown-haired heroine never stopped flying around on her griffin, staying safe from the extremely poisonous smoke - and managed to catch him mid-air.
"My prince?! My prince?! Roan! Say something!"
Mary cried shaking the body of the blond prince and when there was no response she hugged him and looked around in search of a spot where she could drop him for safety.
"PUNY HUMANS! YOU HAVE CAUSED ME ENOUGH TROUBLE ALREADY! KNOW THE POWER OF THE APOSTLE OF THE ETERNAL!"
The sigil mister - that still had the golden sword sticking out from its forehead maybe a few inches away from the center - scoffed in a bellowing voice that shook the space inside the gigantic barrier.
*THUMP*
*RUMBLE*
The sigil Gorut stood up, and every step of his had caused the earth to tremble.
"SCREE...!"
The next moment its eyes and mouth shone with a bright light, and as it spread its jaws, the champion griffin Anry let out a warning screech and changed his flight's direction at the moment's notice...
*¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤*
*BOOOOOOOM*
...and not a moment too late - the next second a beam of red and black light pierced the air right where the griffin with two humans was before and it caused a huge explosion the moment it touched the ground - which resulted in the collapse of the sizable part of the wall surrounding the Durian's estate - or whatever was left of it.
"YOU FOOLISH CREATURES HAVE HAD YOUR WAY FAR TOO LONG! NOW D...!"
The sigil monster roared - or at least it tried to...
*BOOOOOOOOOOOOM*
*SPLAT*
"?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!"
Because the very next second it torso swollen to three times its already enormous size before erupting into a fountain of blood and gore, sending the creature's head all the way to the top of the red and black barrier - causing Mary to almost choking on her own breath.
*thump*
The lower body of the creature fell to its knees and keeled over - it instantly began to burn up and disintegrate into a copious amount of red and black smoke, just as all the scraps of meat and intestines that got spread all over the dome.
*THUMP*
The head of the creature slammed into the ground not so far from it and rolled away like a broken child's toy.
"That... was disgusting."
The blue undead standing amongst the gore turning into smoke breathed out and shook his head, while tapping a torn-off human arm on his shoulder, holding it like a baseball bat.
"..."
Then he furrowed his brows and looked around with his eyes glowing reddish.
|Hey, what the hell, I saw them having troubles from the inside, but aren't they way more pitiful than we expected? Aside from Cranberry, they all were completely useless...|
The blue undead scoffed internally while walking towards the sigil monster's head.
|Ha! Not everyone is an undead you know? The Eternal's power that presents itself as the red and black smoke can be used as a very strong toxin that no living being is capable of withstanding.|
The sealed being sounded as if she shrugged her shoulders dismissively.
|Why do you think that your character was the number one pick for the team voted by ninety percent of the player base? Even in the game, your character was the best counter for the sigil monsters.|
She added, sounding as if she was smirking.
|I was? Good to know. But - how the hell was I supposed to know that? It's not like I ever played this whole messed-up game in the first place!|
The blue undead complained furrowing his brows - he stopped right in front of the head of the sigil Gorut and...
*SMASH*
"AUUUGRRRGHHH"
Slammed the ripped-off arm into it, causing it to be launched into the air and hit against the red and black barrier, letting out a howl that mixed pain and anger.
"H-HOW DARE YOU, PUNY UNDEAD?! I AM THE APOSTLE OF...!"
*WHAM*
"...GHUAGHH...!"
The head of the sigil monster stopped playing dead and growled furiously, but then got slapped by the ripped-off hand, waved by the blue undead, and spun around its own axis, gasping in shock.
|Say... if I was the Eternal in the first playthrough, how come I didn't have apostles like this little shit here? Not that I would make use of them being a brainwashed idiot, but still.|
Zombie asked internally...
*WHAM*
*crack*
Raising his head and slamming the ripped off muscular arm right into the hilt of the golden sword still sticking out of the Gorut's forehead, pushing the blade all the way into the creature's brain, breaking whatever bones were left in his makeshift weapon and...
*WHAM*
*CRACK*
...following the first hit with another one, with the only difference being that this time the thing that crackled, was the sigil monster's head - it got split in half, revealing the nasty insides before bursting into red and black smoke and disintegrating into the air.

"...huh...?"
Zombie furrowed his brows and looked at the series of system messages that popped up in his field of vision as the red and black barrier dispersed into the night sky as if it was just normal smoke.
|Why are you huh-ing...?|
The sealed being sounded as if she was tilting her head and asked.
|I just thought that leveling up was supposed to be harder, you know?|
The blue undead frowned and shrugged his shoulders before throwing the ripped-off arm in the air.
|Anyway, shield proficiency was supposed to be at least level 6, right?|
He asked, watching the arms spin in the moonlight.
|Yes. You met the condition for the rank-up you wanted - go for it.|
The sealed being confirmed sounded as if she was nodding her head.
*CHOMP*
*crunch*
*gulp*
Zombie's throat and jaw shone with orange light and the arm got devoured by him in a single bite.
"System, yes."
He said with a grin right after he swallowed.
