Chapter 114: The Final Onslaught I
The battlefield roared with chaos as armies of cultivators and warriors clashed in deadly formation. The Rackshalla Clan and its dark allies were being steadily pushed back. Amid their ranks, desperation took hold.
At the heart of the enemy forces stood the Scorpion Demonic Beast, the supreme commander of the battlefield, emanating power at the peak of the Middle stage Mortal Shedding Realm. On the opposing side, Mortal Lord Jolton—a key figure within the Iron Dog Alliance—was regarded as the de facto commander. While the Alliance wasn't a traditional sect, its ranks included members from numerous factions and unaffiliated cultivators, united by one goal: the annihilation of Demonic Beasts and Demonic Cultivators.
Despite reinforcements from another demonic clan, the Scorpion Beast bore a grim expression. The tide of battle had turned against them. With casualties mounting and momentum slipping away, he made his decision.
"Heed my command. Drop all restraint. We're launching an all-out attack! Kill anything in your way—then retreat to the Western Front and regroup with our allies. Begin preparations now!"
His voice echoed through communication talismans, reaching every leader under his command.
Suddenly, massive movement surged within the enemy ranks. The alliance—Bright Brilliant Blade Sect and its myriad allies—instantly went on high alert. Jolton's expression darkened.
"Damn it… they're going for a final, desperate push. All units—defensive formations now!"
It began.
A violent barrage of large-scale, indiscriminate attacks flooded the battlefield. The Rackshalla Clan, evil sects, and the Night's Light Devouring Church launched a suicidal offensive, caring little for their own survival.
"Target the Monster and the traitors—move out!!" shouted the Deacon of the Church, his killing intent palpable as his power erupted and he charged toward Elton's unit.
The battlefield became pure bedlam.
"Defend yourselves—now!" a commander cried out.
BOOM!!
Clashes between Mortal Lords shook the land. Lesser cultivators caught in their wake were vaporized.
"Fall back and focus on defense!" Elton yelled to the White Star Radiance Group.
Explosions rocked the area, cutting down allies and enemies alike.
"KILL!!!!" bellowed the demonic enemies in a bloodthirsty wave.
—Leon Dragon Spear Arts Formation: Tormenta Sincronizada de Impacto Mundial—
(Translation: Synchronized World Impact Storm)
Ramiro, members of the Noble House of Leon, Seralily, and the 2 Fanged Elf spearwomen unleashed the Leon Clan's powerful spear technique in tandem, colliding with the incoming attacks in a dazzling explosion of metal and flame.
Shayleaf and the Fanged Elves summoned Nature Barrier magic, desperately trying to contain the destruction.
Behind them, Erica, Rija, and other mages chanted spells, filling the area with magical energy and coordinated counterattacks while being defended by others most notably fellow Soloman Clan members like John and Sarkies.
Meanwhile, Zoro, Kageha, Kuroha, and the Black Reaper Corps were heavily targeted. Concentrated strikes from the Church and Sussuri Oscuri rained down, threatening to wipe them out entirely.
"You traitorous blasphemers—DIE!!" Church cultivators screamed, among them several Mortal Shedding Realm experts.
But their path was swiftly intercepted.
Four allied Mortal Shedding Realm cultivators from the allied sects met them head-on. Explosions tore through the battlefield, engulfing all in indiscriminate destruction.
As chaos escalated, Elton erupted with a righteous fury. His Blue Heavenly Star Destroyer flashed like lightning. He refused to have a repeat of past situations taking place.
—1st Bright Brilliance Sword: First Light Pierce—
He appeared behind a Gold Tier 4 woman from the Sussuri Oscuri and blew a hole clean through her chest. She died instantly.
—2nd Bright Brilliance Sword: Dazzling Horizon Cut—
Before anyone could react, he bisected a Gold Tier 3 cultivator, followed by eight Demonic Beasts and a Demon Cultivator.
Too few enemies were able to notice what was happening in time with such speed was utilized but those that did surged toward him.
—3rd Bright Brilliance Sword: Solar Bloom Cascade—
A rapid flurry of slashes surrounded him like a blooming lotus. Fifteen fell in an instant. Three more were grievously injured.
—Royal Elven Magic: I summon the small branches of the World Tree. Heed my call.—
From glowing magic circles, nine gold-and-red tree branches erupted from the earth, glowing with nature and malevolence. They hovered around Elton like floating sentinels.
Only four seconds had passed.
—4th Bright Brilliance Sword: Starfall Severance—
With the branches synced to his motion, Elton descended like a comet into the enemy ranks. Ten experts were shredded instantly. The resulting shockwave killed eleven more, tearing apart the battlefield.
Now seven seconds in.
"You bastard—DIE!!" screamed a Gold Tier 4 Church cultivator, flanking with a Gold Tier 4 Demonic Beast.
But before the attack could land—
—Twin Palms of Chaos—
Christy materialized like a wraith and Gravely injured the Demonic Beast with a palm strike that caved his chest in. The Church cultivator, stunned, dropped his guard.
—5th Bright Brilliance Sword: Radiant Fang Spiral—
Elton spun into a vortex of sword and branch, eviscerating the two Gold Tier 4 enemies. His spiral carved through enemy after enemy—29 more fell in seconds.
By the 14th second, Elton's rampage had drawn the attention of a truly dangerous foe.
A devastating strike from a Golden Lord-level Priest of the Church collided with Elton, throwing both back in a shockwave.
"Blasphemous trash. Now die," sneered the Priest, raising his sword infused with black Ki.
—Black Mountain Cleaver Strike—
—6th Bright Brilliance Sword: Divine Gleam Barrier Break—
Elton met him head-on. The nine tree branches surged in, acting as extensions of his will. The impact was enormous, knocking both men away. Elton was hurled back. The priest took minor damage and grinned wickedly.
Then he soared upward.
—Black High Mountain Cleaver—
Elton responded in kind, launching himself into the air, Ki and magic converging around his body as he summoned a massive blade of Burning Lightning Sword Ki.
—7th Bright Brilliance Sword: Beacon Sky Rend—
The two clashed in a titanic collision of divine power and cursed Ki.
