Chapter 546: Great Harpoon of the Sinking Abyss and Oceanic Collapse?
The Wind represented the dragon’s free movement in space. The Thunder represented the spark of ignition for the dragon’s flames. And the Moon represented the purity of the dragon’s soul and body.
With all these harmonies converging into one essence, what came about from the [Tri-Blade Resonance] was the [Pale Dragon of Three Harmonies].
Forming around Kuro’s sword, which was named the [Harmonious Dawned], was a pale white dragon bathed in white flames, which soon spread across Kuro’s shoulders.
Stabbing forth, Kuro’s eyes narrowed with glowing intensity - his muscles straining - as he stabbed his sword forward.
With all of his gear combined - his armour, sword, and hidden accessories - the speed and force he stabbed at was now bordering on near-supersonic speed.
DING!
Kuro struck the Dark Knight’s longsword; the sound generated far louder than any gong bell in existence. And relative to the sound generated, the Dark Knight was launched hundreds of feet back, more than it had expected.
Flying back with ridiculous speed, its body slammed and pierced through several towers of containers, toppling them over.
The oriental sword of Wind caused the Dark Knight to fly back at much greater speed.
The oriental sword of Thunder caused the Dark Knight’s body to remain in a state of paralysis.
And lastly, the oriental sword of the Moon caused the Dark Knight’s internal mana circulation to run rampant.
"Haa... Haa..." Kuro breathed raggedly, watching as the flaming spirit dragon returned into its metal vessel that was now limply pointed towards the ground.
Due to his attack, his sword arm was now seriously damaged; his blood vessels most likely ruptured. Although he was a mage, he was still human - not an enhanced human.
Unless he were to find treatment that would quickly repair his arm, he doubted that he would be able to use the arm again for the remainder of the fight.
Summoning a paper talisman, the Sword Genius placed it on his injured arm, watching as the paper slip expanded and wrapped around his limb.
But that was fine, even if he wouldn’t be able to use this arm for now, it was fine. He wasn’t expecting to take
From the moment he sent Lillian to rescue the remaining workers in the area, he had actively kept a mental note of her current location.
By now, every worker inside the warehouse should be evacuated. And right currently...
"You should be in position, now..."
The Dark Knight flipped through the air, eventually landing in a pool of its own lava. When it climbed its way out, it rolled its shoulders.
The chips and slash marks across its body were rapidly repaired. And just like that, all damages that had been inflicted on its body mere seconds ago were completely healed.
After taking a look at its longsword and noticing a crack on it, the Dark Knight raised its right hand towards the swords embedded in its body.
But to their surprise—
FWIP! x3
—They flew out of his body, shooting back to Kuro like heat-seeking missiles.
Seeing this, it took a step forward, the lava beneath its feet forming solid ground. The moment it was about to chase and enact its revenge on Kuro...
"Ho? You dare forget about me?"
It was suddenly hit with a weight so profound it even caused its mind to reel.
Staggering, it looked upwards, finding an orb of water several dozen feet above its head; magically floating.
It was safe to say that the sea consisted of thousands of litres of water, and it was growing exceptionally quickly, to the point that it looked like a sea.
This caused the Dark Knight to kneel down, unwillingly; its body now frozen under the sinking pressure.
Lillian, sitting cross-legged on a flat platform of water, leaned her head to one side - resting her cheek on the knuckles of her fist. She smirked. (20)
’Let’s be a little flamboyant with this one.’
"For an Elite fighter of the Prime rank, you dare to neglect another foe?" Lillian raised a finger towards the sea above her. "Suffer from the Sinking Sea that hovers above you and perish under its weight." (40)
With a gesture of her finger, Lillian caused the sea above her to poke out with countless slender polearms mimicking harpoons.
Due to the sea taking more mana than she had expected, she resorted to using the sea as fuel for her attack.
What followed next was a rain of harpoons that fell upon the Dark Knight like a waterfall.
Flashing its hand out, the Dark Knight raised its hand towards the school of harpoons before slamming its knuckles into the ground, causing the lava around it to erupt and charge towards the waterfall of harpoons - leading to the collision of two rivalling elements.
Clouds of steam exploded outward periodically from the collision.
Lillian watched the reaction between their attacks and went on to shift towards a new path of assault.
But the moment she did, the pillar of lava fell, closely followed by a blanket of heavy pressure - exuded by the Dark Knight in irritation - that began to bend and crush the metal cargo containers around them; its purpose was to drag Lillian down from the air.
However, much to its dismay, Lillian seemed... Unaffected by it.
Holding up her left hand, Lillian showed the Dark Knight the Acus Mark, which periodically glowed. She was immune to any form of pressure.
Lillian grinned menacingly as she stood up and raised her arm, causing the sea above her to converge into a massive swirl.
All this time, since coming to this world, Lillian never once had what can be considered her "ultimate" attack. Why not begin with something simple to get her going?
Then, with a purposeful glow in her eyes, Lillian commanded the swirling sea to stretch into a gigantic and slender harpoon that was 50-80 metres in length and 6 metres in diameter.
But the true terror had yet to begin.
For in the next moment, the colossal weapon collapsed onto itself, shrinking at a violent, yet controlled pace - burning through Lillian’s mana at a ridiculous rate, as well.
What became of the gigantic harpoon was now just a mere vessel to house the concentrated water.
Lillian watched as the harpoon took a darker shade of blue, followed by a bubbling heat coming from its core due to the compression. She smiled broadly.
If Lillian remembered back, the Drowned King did something similar to what she was doing, although to a much greater extent.
’But let’s put my own spin onto this...’
Grabbing onto the harpoon and imbuing her Parasitic element into it, Lillian took a throwing stance before declaring grandly:
"Rejoice, Obsidian Warden of the Lithic Legion, and bear witness to what will befall you shortly. For your death has brought upon the birth of my first greatest attack!" (20)
With a powerful hurl, Lillian roared out:
"[Great Harpoon of the Sinking Abyss]!" (20)
The dense harpoon shot through the air, piercing through whatever obstacle the Dark Knight may employ to defend against it. But all fell before sinking density.
Albeit struggling under the weight of the invisible pressure, the Dark Knight managed to grab hold of its longsword in defence. However, it seemed to underestimate the severity of the situation.
The harpoon collided with the flat side of the Dark Knight’s longsword, clashing and pushing against it.
Although the Dark Knight’s strength was grand, it struggled to force the harpoon back. It would then feel as though the mana it was transferring into its blade was being sucked away.
And in turn, it felt the weight on its body increase dramatically! The harpoon had even begun to take an even darker shade of blue!
The ground below the Dark Knight cracked under the weight of the ongoing clash, the lava suddenly radiating steam as moisture separated from the harpoon.
Upon seeing the Dark Knight block her attack, Lillian raised her left hand that bore the mark of Acus Maris before clenching it into a fist.
She then whispered mysterious was an emotionless face:
"[Oceanic Collapse...]"
What followed next was an explosion from the harpoon, which erupted with a flooding sea of parasitic water that ate away at the Dark Knight’s obsidian body.
Much to its dismay, its body was a great source of mana for the Parasitic sea, allowing it to grow further in size and flood more of the surrounding area, leading to the Dark Knight being further suppressed under the water.
With its back completely pressed against the ground, it could only watch as its body was eaten away by the parasitic waters.
And eventually... Its core.
But...
It didn’t intend to die alone.
[You have slain a Prime Husk, Obsidian Warden]
Lillian breathed a sigh as she slowly dropped to the sea below and began to drain away, expending even more mana.
After doing that, she slowly walked over to the Obsidian Warden with gentle steps before stepping on a crack on the ground, which suddenly lit up.
Several cracks around it began to light up as well, catching Lillian off guard.
And before she knew it, the ground erupted into a pillar of lava that was over 20 metres in diameter - a last ditch effort from the Obsidian Warden to take Lillian with it.
