Chapter 277 - Relentless Battle!
-----
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
The enormous blows that the entity of darkness was receiving were overwhelming! Vudia was putting a lot of effort as her gigantic metallic gold fists were like mountains that fell over the shadows!
Each of her blows was coated in several layers of lightning, and each time they clashed over the darkness, they generated explosive shockwaves of lightning that continued to unleash a deadly attack, the monstrous being's shadows began to be quite literally torn apart!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Each blow cut apart darkness from within, which couldn't be easily regenerated anymore, these chunks of darkness quickly died off, being purified by Vudia's powerful lightning!
"GRUUUAAAAAHH!"
The monstrous being unleashed an unsightly scream as it proceeded to counterattack Vudia, trying to kill her off by shaping several parts of its dark body into incredibly sharp all-piercing dark spears!
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
"Not going to let ya!"
However, Ervas intercepted them as he waved his two black daggers. He now had an amazing weapon that could turn in anything he wanted, so he had been practicing all sorts of weapons, dual wielding daggers was incredibly efficient in these sorts of scenarios!
He intercepted each dark spear and threw it into the air, as Vudia smiled defiantly and jumped from behind him, her aura expanding through the powerup granted by Gustav and his various spirits summoned and then merged into her temporarily!
"YAAA!"
CLAAAAASSSSHH!
A massive blow hit the shadows once more as an explosive wave of lightning ensued right after! Vudia put both of her gigantic fists together and formed a drill, making it spin constantly as she began to pierce through the darkness and shadows while trying to seek the core!
She knew that there was a core, after fighting this thing this long, she had already detected that there was a core inside of the formerly human's chest, if she destroyed it, the connection between the human and the entity from another dimension would weaken and eventually disappear!
TRUUUUUMMM!!!
"GRUUOOHHHH…!"
The powerful and enormous spiraling drill was explosively effective, the lightning coating it made for extra damage while the constantly spinning drill was rushing and crushing through all the darkness!
However, the beast was not going down yet, it was relentless and annoying at that! Its body, although fixated in the ground due to Vudia's attack, was still spreading around into various masses of darkness that shaped into enormous hands and claws, eyes, and tentacles, trying to take her down from all sides!
But Ervas was there to protect Vudia, using his fast speed and the wolf-like specter emerging from within him, fusing with the other spirits he was infused with, the enormous power and speed he gained was unmatched, he clashed against each attack and sent it back, cutting down limbs and tentacles made of shadows without stopping, and rather mercilessly!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Red-colored beams came out of the eyes of the shadow darkness, but Ervas intercepted them with his daggers, although sometimes his body was weakened, but as a summon, he could bear the wounds rather well and continue to fight back!
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
"GRAAAAAAAAHHH…!"
The old man couldn't help but groan grotesquely, it wasn't that old man anymore, his mind and soul were completely seized by this dark entity, the Dimensional Ruler of the Abyssal Dimension!
"Come on…! Just die already, you stubborn geezer!" roared Vudia, her drill finally reached the core at long last, as she infused millions of mana into the blow!
Crack… crack…!
"I-Impossible…!" cried the entity, as the core was being cracked, and then…!
CRAAAASH!
The tip of the drill finally crushed it! The entire core was shattered into pieces, as the shadows suddenly exploded into smoke!
BOOOOOOOMMM!!!
The darkness spread all around, but everything suddenly turned still…
The darkness was nothing but just that, smoke, as the corpse of an old man, massacred and almost turned into pulp, emerged in the floor alongside a shattered black jewel…
The two summons rested over the floor, gasping for air…
"Hahh… We did it, Ervas!" said Vudia, as she tightly hugged Ervas and kissed his cheek.
"E-Eh? W-Why would you do that?!" asked Ervas in shock, as he blushed.
"It is just to celebrate we won! That was hard, isn't it? I wouldn't had been able to do it without your help…" said Vudia.
"I suppose… That thing… it definitely came from another Dimension, it is just like Master told us through telepathy after he inspected the mind of the Sect Master." Said Ervas, sitting over the floor.
"Yeah… Its blows were strong, they hit directly into our Summon Origins… I don't think we can fight again for a while…" sighed Vudia.
"Indeed… Let's go back to our ethereal forms for now, let's entrust this fight to our Master, Xijun, and the rest…" said Ervas.
"You're right…" said Vudia.
POOF! POOF!
The two slowly dissipated into magic smoke and disappeared, turning back into ethereal forms within Gustav's soul.
Gustav heard clearly what they spoke though. They seemed to have said that the entity from the other dimension was able to directly inflict damage into their Summoning Origins…!
He gritted his teeth in anger, this was bad.
The power of this being was truly in a completely different level, the same way than the tentacle he once fought, if not even greater and stronger.
But what was the Summoning Origin? Well, it was the same thing as the Origin Core of a normal person but for Summons. Despite being incapable of conventionally dying through the destruction of their bodies, Summons still have souls, and inside of their souls, the Summon Origin remains.
It is the core of their very being, if it is directly attacked several times, it might even break and shatter into pieces, killing the Summon… yes, summons can get killed in such a way.
Thankfully, Vudia and Ervas were incredibly strong summons, their Origin Cores were not going to die so easily. And they ended winning at the end, but were greatly weakened…
