Chapter 566: Ant Vs Dragon

But did Seris really need help?

The Moon Manifestation behind the girl quickly became brighter, and her sword rose, there was no sign of fear or worry on her face.

On the contrary, if there was anything there... it was excitement?

[Heavenfall]

A huge attack fell from above onto the path of the mass of energy coming toward her, and the silver and red light collided.

Krrrrraaaash!

She could not stop the attack, the difference in power was too great.

But the path of the fired mass of energy was split open for a moment, and that opening was enough.

She pulled herself through the space that had been created and moved out of the main attack range with several fast movements.

A moment later, the red energy hit the platform behind her.

The eastern wall collapsed along the path of the attack, and part of the supporting pillar broke with a huge sound, but that was not all, that mass of energy tore through space itself like paper and passed through it as well.

Lian reached Seris exactly when the second wave of pressure was released, he put his arm around her waist and used [Ashen Thunder Step] to take both of them out of the path.

When they landed at a safer distance, one of the armor plates on his side had turned red.

The heat had passed through the gaps and burned his skin.

The Young Pendragon was also breathing heavily, part of her sleeve had burned away and exposed her pale skin.

But the sword was still in her hand.

"Can you continue?"

The young Vorhelm looked at her.

Seris nodded.

"Yes."

Then he turned his eyes back toward the Demon of End, they had restored two chains.

But during this time, a large part of the platform had been destroyed, and one of the main pillars had been damaged.

If they continued like this, there would be no place left to stand before they could finish removing the corruption.

If the enemy was stronger, then they would gain an advantage through numbers, and it was time to use more forces.

He activated the special connection of the colony.

[Hive Dominion]

Two links responded.

First, the space behind him moved like a wave, and then a huge creature with dense black armor appeared from it.

One.

Ant Of Ruins. ℯℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

The huge ant turned its head toward Lian as soon as it appeared, but when it saw Seris, its entire behavior changed.

Its antennae rose, its jaws moved together several times in excitement, and it lowered its huge head toward the girl.

A sound like happy clicking came from its mouth.

She, whose eyes were still on the dragon, turned around for a moment.

"One, it has been a while."

Hearing her voice, the ant became even more excited and moved its body slightly forward, as if it wanted to get closer to her, as if it wanted the girl to pet it.

Lian gave the two of them a quick look, did this bastard really prefer Seris over him right now?

Betrayal in broad daylight and this obvious?

"I’m very happy that you two are happy to see each other, but this is not a good time."

One moved its antennae.

Almost at the same time, the second link responded.

A huge wolf with dead black and gray fur and an unusual bone covering appeared behind them.

Two.

Wolf of Eight Disasters.

He looked at Seris once, made no movement and showed no special reaction, and then turned his head toward the Demon of End.

The fur on the back of his neck rose, and a very low growl came from his chest.

Lian felt his instinctive pressure through the colony link.

Two had recognized the danger, what was in front of him was not just a stronger monster.

It was a Demon, something at the top of the power chain of all monsters.

However, he had no plan to retreat, even if it meant his death, he had to follow his master’s orders.

Lian looked toward the battlefield and ordered them to move, and they moved.

The Demon of End turned his huge head slightly when he saw the two new creatures, and his eyes stayed on Two for a moment.

"Fallen monsters?"

There was contempt in his voice.

"Have humans even made these things their slaves?"

Lian gave no answer and focused on checking the claw’s next movement.

The dragon opened his huge fingers and attacked the healthy part of the central platform again.

But this time One moved forward and his black armor lit up, gray mana came out from behind his body and gathered at six points.

Six huge semi-material arms formed behind the ant’s armor, and each one had a different structure.

[Six Hands of Ruin]

The first arm came down.

[Fault Hand]

Boom!

The ground under part of the secondary platform split.

A deep crack formed along the path of the claw’s movement, and a huge piece of stone that was supposed to support the dragon’s fingers moved from its place.

Instead of hitting a stable surface, the claw landed on the collapsing part.

The direction of the attack changed, but its power was still very great, and the Demon crushed the entire piece of stone with more pressure.

One moved his second arm at the same moment.

[Collapse Hand]

The attack focused on the already cracked part of the stone, and the structure of the stone broke from inside, turning the huge piece under the claw into several parts.

The dragon lost the balance of his claw for a moment, not because One was stronger, but because the point where the claw was pressing no longer existed.

Lian used the opportunity.

"Seris, the chain behind the shoulder!"

The girl nodded and moved.

But the Demon of End also understood their goal, and his mouth lit up again.

The huge ant raised his third arm, he was not going to let his master’s plan fail.

[Ruinfall Hand]

A heavy attack hit the mass of broken stones.

Hundreds of huge pieces were thrown into the air by the force and created a wall of debris in the path of the dragon’s mouth.

A moment later, the red energy was released and most of the stones melted in the first collision, even space cracked in some places and tears could be seen between the layers of reality.

But the red wave lost its direct path for a fraction of a second, and that fraction of a second was enough for Seris to move.

The Wolf of Eight Disasters was not idle either, he raised his head and activated one of the Eight Disasters.

[Blood Hunt Moon]

A red mark appeared in the wolf’s perception on the old damage of the dragon’s claw joint, the same place where Lian had struck earlier with Glacial Reaper Claw.

Two used that mark to follow changes in the movement of the claw.

When the dragon tried to pull it out from the debris, the wolf jumped to the right before the movement was complete.

Then another disaster was activated.

[Bodiless Pack]

Several semi-real images of black wolves appeared around the claw, and each one attacked the same damaged joint from a different direction.

The Demon of End lowered his eyes, and red energy came out from between the scales of his claw, several bodiless images were destroyed at that exact moment.

The wolf jumped backward, and at the same time, One activated his fourth arm.

[Cascade Rupture Hand]

The semi-material arm struck the stones that had already cracked under the claw, and the cracks connected to each other in one path.

The break moved from the first section to the nearby pieces and caused the rest of the place supporting the claw to collapse.

Now the dragon was forced to raise his claw higher, exactly what Lian wanted.

"Two, back!

One, get ready for the next attack!"

But the dragon no longer intended to let them continue playing with the ground, and his huge fingers closed together.

Then, with a movement much faster than before, he slammed the claw directly toward the huge ant.

Lian’s Predator’s Instinct warned him, but the distance was too great.

One brought his fifth arm forward.

[Aftershock Hand]

The first attack hit part of the dragon’s black claw, although it caused no break, the second wave was released immediately after it.

Boom!

The delayed pressure hit the same point and slowed the movement of the claw for a moment.

The ant managed to pull his body back, but the dragon changed the path of the attack at the same moment, and the edge of one of the fingers hit One’s side.

Kraaak!

His armor plates cracked, his body was dragged several meters across the stone, and one of his legs bent under the pressure.

Lian felt his pain through the link.

"One!"

The ant was still alive, but the attack had truly injured him.

"Weak and pathetic, you dare face this exalted one?"

The Demon of End lowered his head further.

Then he raised his claw to finish the next attack.

But Two entered from the other side at extremely high speed, he was not going to let his senior die.

[Bone Mountain]

A huge mass of black bones rose between the claw and One, and the claw struck it.

The Bone Mountain shattered.

Hundreds of pieces of it spread through the air, and a large part of the structure was destroyed in less than a second.

But that short barrier saved One.

Lian reached the ant with [Ashen Thunder Step].

But he did not force him to enter the battle directly again.

"One, stay beside Seris and help her remove the corruption from the chains."

Then he gave an order to the Wolf of Eight Disasters.

"You also do not engage directly, just change the paths of his attacks."

None of them, not even himself, had the ability to face that Demon directly.

A direct confrontation was simply courting death.

Two lowered his head.

The young Vorhelm took a short breath, they were still at the beginning of this battle.

And the Demon of End, while a large part of his body was still tied to the chains, had almost managed to remove one of the special members of the colony from the battlefield with two moves.

If the main seals were damaged any further, even these short opportunities would disappear.

Seris had reached the eastern pillar.

The Ancestral Dragon Mark on her hand lit up, and the golden path rose from the stone floor to the top of the pillar.

Lian could still see the silver threads connected to it.

If they remained like this, the new energy she put into the path would once again be destroyed by the silver corruption.

So first, he had to destroy them.

But the Demon of End was now focusing all his attention on that same pillar.

So how exactly was he supposed to do this?
