Chapter 561 Archdemon Core Shard
"Tear her down limb from limb!!!"
"KILL!"
The Insectoids began to swarm Eleanora after she killed one of them. However, Hendrick and Saphira quickly joined her, attacking all the swarm of Insectoids together. Saphira unleashed Phantasmal Flames everywhere, while Hendrick began to generate his new anti-insectoid demon poison into a deadly fog, weakening and draining away the health of the demons.
"Poisonous Fog!"
"Phantasmal Flare!"
Hendrick and Saphira\'s attacks converged together through their Spiritual Connection with me, as I imbued my Mana into their combined attack, generating a brand new Combination Spirit Technique, an unique power that Spirits belonging to the same Maser could utilize.
"[Poisonous Phantasmal Flare Storm]!"
FLUOOOOOOOSSSSH!!!
An enormous spiraling storm of purple flames erupted from the ground, taking away the Insectoids swarming us once and for all, and blowing them off our sight. The Aberrant Beetle Beelzefly glanced at the scene with utter disbelief and anger.
"Y-You lazy bugs! Move yer abdomens!" He roared furiously, suddenly hitting the ground with a staff he was carrying, which held a purple-colored crystal on top.
That crystal… I recognized it. It is a special tool Archdemons give to their underlings to boost their power or give them access to Unique Demon Magic, sometimes even giving them access to the Archdemon Magic Spells they use.
An Archdemon Core Shard!
Archdemons are beings of immense size and power, their Cores are gigantic and they can easily extract tiny pieces of them to give them to their underlings, boosting their strength significantly.
However, if I can get that thing for myself, I could attain a great deal of power now that I have the ability to absorb Demons powers through my Demonic Arm, something my previous self was unable to do.
"[Abyssal Demon Boost]! [Bloodlust Enhancement]! [Demonic Mutation]!"
The Aberrant Beetle Beelzefly utilized the shard\'s powers to boost the strength of the wounded and poisoned Insectoids, quickly making them stronger. Their wounds didn\'t regenerate, but their bodies grew larger and muscular, and above all, even more grotesque.
"GRUOOOHHH!!
"GRYEHEHE!"
"GRAAAH!"
And they became monstrous, going completely berserk. Much like that Red Orc Druid King, I\'ll have to take down the Boss if I want to completely defeat the underlings. And that\'s without even counting on the other insectoids getting through the gates right now, two more of them had slipped through it, joining the swarm that savagely attacked us.
CLAAASH!
An enormously muscular Beetle Insectoid hit the ground right in front of us, shaking the floor and shattering it, forcing us to step back and break our formation. The giant beetle roared furiously, charging towards us like a massive tank.
"I am getting bored of you damn bugs!"
Elfriedden stepped forward as his two spirits converged their powers together. Icy threads danced in midair, quickly wrapping around the legs of the enormous beetle while charging forward, making it trip over the floor. At the same time as its legs were frozen and shattered into pieces by Elfriedden\'s needle.
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CRAAASH!
"GRUOOOH!"
The Beetle Insectoid roared furiously, his enormous jaws reaching up to Elfriedden, only for roots to emerge from the underground, piercing its head and killing it on the spot! Such powerful roots came from a combination between Erika\'s natural abilities as a Dryad and Eric\'s second Spirit, the Yggdrasil Treant, a special spirit we helped him create as his second spirit, made up completely out of Yggdrasil Tree Materials.
CRAAASH!
The beast fell into the floor, only for several more Insectoids to swarm over Elfriedden, unleashing countless attacks against him. The agile elf evaded their blows while unleashing gusts of icy winds, at the same time as we reached his side and defend him from his attackers.
"HYAAAAH!"
Erika swung her blade horizontally and vertically, her two eyes glowing brightly as they converged the power of her Dryad body with the Draconic Eye she acquired, golden flames appeared over her black sword, burning through the demons.
SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! FLUOOSH!
"GYYAAAH!"
"Flames of Life?! Uuggh!"
"IT HURTS!"
Erika had practiced her powers enough through all these years. Thanks to her unique composition, she had inherited both the powers of Dryads, a True Spirit Race, and the innate Draconic Might of the Wyvern\'s materials I added into her new body\'s creation. Converging her Life Powers with her Wyvern\'s Flames created a new ability Flames of Life, especially effective against Demonic Beasts.
"HYAYAYAYAYA!"
Erika roared as she unleashed several consecutive attacks, burning through the Demons bodies with her Flames of Life. At the same time as they shaped into a furious roaring wyvern, engulfing them into a loud explosion.
BOOOOOMMM!!!
Two Insectoids were taken down that way, her Dolls were supporting her with both long ranged attacks and healing and buffing skills. Meanwhile, Chris and Eric were unleashing attacks of their own. Chris covered the surrounding field with powerful spiritual flames, which Demons couldn\'t resist very well.
"[Infernal Flames Domain]!"
FLUOOOSH!
The flames spread into a domain, becoming a sea of fire which he controlled with the aid of his two Spirits, the Nine Tailed Fire Fox and the Blazing Salamander.
"[Flame Pillars]!"
TRUUUM! TRUUUM! TRUUUM!
Enormous pillars of flames erupted from within the domain of fire, attacking the Insectoid Demons that were even in the air. And burning through their thin wings, making them fall into the sea of flames one after the other.
At the same time, Eric pointed his arrows at the Demonic Insects, firing magic arrows imbued with spiritual energy into them.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOOM!
They continued exploding in midair, generating countless vines as they hit their targets, wrapping the Insectoids body parts, and slowing down their movements, making it easier for Chris and everyone else to attack them.
"You demons… You\'re really pissing me off now!"
Elizabeth summoned her spirits to battle once more, as the Holy Dragon and the Mountain Turtle charged against the Insectoid Demons, throwing them into the floor as Elizabeth mercilessly showered them with beams of light!
