[Element Drive: Darkness Force]!
All the active skills related to the dark attribute received a great boost. His [Shadow Cloak] and [Night Overlord's Aura] had enhanced his overall abilities by a top-notch. Luckily, he didn't leave Earthen Core City until he could use [Element Drive] in a battle.
Not just his skills had received a boost. Each of his stats had received an extra 150 points just by activating this darkness affinity skill.
[Gravitational Ball]! [Shadow Bind]!
He glared at Rowan and casted several spells. Each one only took 0.01 seconds to cast and it complimented his current body state.
Black tentacles rose from the ground and they wrapped around Rowan's legs. The heavy gravity bore down on Rowan, who was tightly gripping his face. The gravity was heavier as the Clan Leader felt like a million tons boulder pressed on his body.
Boom!
The ground formed huge spider-web cracks and every object in the surrounding was squeezed because of the intense gravity.
"Argh!!"
Souta gritted his teeth as Rowan increased the strength of his grip. He swung his sword once again but Rowan deflected it as if he didn't feel the pressure of heavy gravity.
'This fucker!'
He focused the gravity on Rowan's body and the pressure on the surrounding had disappeared. All the pressure was pinpointed on the figure of the Clan Leader.
Hmph!
Rowan snorted and he delivered a punch on his stomach. The black armor was shattered instantly and the barrier behind Souta broke.
Boom!
Seven shadows emerged from the ground and launched an attack. They were just the Souta's shadow so they could use skills but their physical strength was high.
Then, the four spider limbs on Souta's back pointed at Rowan. A huge concentration of best feram gathered on each tip.
"Eat this!!"
Souta roared as four [Bestrou]s were fired at the same time. It swallowed everything in front including Rowan.
Boom!
A large explosion occurred that destroyed a quarter of the territory occurred and the gust of wind that it produce destroyed buildings in the perimeter near the explosion site.
Almost everything was disintegrated. The power of four [Bestrou]s was not to be underestimated.
"Argh!"
Souta stood up while holding his face. When he launched four [Bestrou]s, Rowan was forcefully pushed away causing Souta's skin on his face to rip apart. After all, Rowan was gripping his face.
Flesh moved on his face and soon, a new layer of skin had appeared.
That Rowan didn't even flinch under the pressure of fifty million tons. This level of pressure was enough to decrease Eztein's movement speed by twenty percent. He tested it when they were training in Saya's inner consciousness but the pressure didn't even affect Rowan at all.
He glanced in the sky and felt that the barrier was going to collapse soon. Even if he didn't do anything, the battle of the two elders would shatter it in just a minute.
His [Nebula Heart] and monster orb were distributing best feram throughout his entire body nonstop just to endure Rowan's attack.
Souta narrowed his eyes as he felt Rowan's energy.
"He's coming."
All of his injuries had healed and most of his energy was strengthening his vital part so that he could avoid getting one-shot by his enemy.
Layers of flesh covered his body and his figure grew taller once again. Various black spikes protruded on his back and his skin turned into gray as red veins could be seen through his skin.
His legs and arms grew as thick as an elephant limb. The four spider limbs on his back grew thicker and sharper. His four eyes turned pitch black and his irises were inside a crimson ring.
This was the activation of his parasite's full power.
He charged forward at full speed and he collided with a figure inside the smoke. The shockwave from their collision directly dispersed the smoke in the area.
Boom!
...
Bam! Bam! Bam!
Eztein and Gragas couldn't help Souta at all. The Annihilation Realm masters of the Witch Clan were blocking the two of them and they couldn't pass through them. In fact, they were being suppressed by four Annihilation Realm masters while the rest were watching from the side.
If they took a distance, those people that were watching the battle would launch an attack. So the only thing that they could do was to keep fighting the four Annihilation Realm masters in close range.
"Damn! It seems that I'm going to die here!"
Gragas cursed as he swung his huge hammer. One of the enemies stepped forward and raised a round golden-colored shield. It blocked his attack and another opponent jumped in the mid-air before using a skill.
Bang!
Eztein looked fine because the parasite was constantly recovering his wounds but Gragas didn't have a parasite so he could only endure his injuries.
"Don't worry since they are doing this, they must have decided to capture us. Although the Clan Leader ordered to kill us, they felt that there's no need for that." Eztein said while avoiding the attacks of the two Annihilation Realm masters in front of him.
"So in other words I will not die right now but later after they extracted information from me," Gragas said begrudgingly.
"Sort of."
Eztein raised his halberd above his head and blocked a sword attack. He lifted his feet and kicked the person in front but he felt a pain behind him. The other one had sneaked behind him.
"Tsk! I will not get captured once again! I don't want to experience that kind of torture! Especially right now that I gained super regeneration, they could torture me all day long and it would break my mind!"
The wounds on his back closed quickly and layers of flesh covered his halberd.
Thud! Thud!
Suddenly, members of the Witch Clan started to fall to the ground. Their bodies had suddenly turned limp and they fell powerless on the floor.
The members of the Witch Clan had stopped attacking as they stared at their comrades with a confused expression. The Ruin Realm witches collapsed and some of the Disaster Realm witches had collapsed too.
"Ehe~ it seems that the poison of the little girl had started working." Eztein laughed.
"By the way, where's that girl?" Gragas asked while looking around.
"I don't know, her power level is low so she couldn't carelessly show herself as there are many people in this place that could easily capture her. One Extermination Realm would be enough so I think that she decided to hide and simply used her poison ability."
Eztein said with a shrug of his shoulders.
At least this gave them time to rest while the witches were figuring out what's happening to their comrades.
...
"Fall!"
Souta raised his hand and dark clouds gathered above. Thunderclap roared like a raging lion and black lightning struck down repeatedly.
[Archetype: Vajra Extremity]!
[First Form: Mahayana Tribulation]!
The black lightning was like a rain as it struck down Rowan's fragile-looking body but Rowan simply shrugged the lightning as if it was some dust.
Hmm...?
Rowan suddenly stopped and looked at the dark clouds above. He felt a strange sensation coming from the lightning. It dealt too low damage but the pressure it possessed was real.
Souta quickly charged forward when he saw Rowan turn his attention somewhere else. He tightly gripped his sword and used [Possession].
Boom!
In just a second, he arrived in front of the Clan Leader. In this state, Souta was extremely powerful and no third evolution would be able to match his speed and strength.
Swoosh!
Rowan saw Souta from the corner of his eyes. He saw Souta raising his sword as black lightning circled around the blade and a huge amount of best feram gathered like a tide.
Souta looked at Rowan fiercely as a ball of best feram formed on his other palm. The [Bestrou] spun wildly as it gives off aggressive and violent feelings.
He pushed his hand on the red blade of the vajra sword and the [Bestrou] coated the blade. It produced an intense reaction as if it was going to burst at any moment.
"Ahhh!!"
Souta roared as he slashed the vajra sword with all of his might.
[Bestrou] x [Crimson Moon] x [Mahayana Tribulation]
It was one of the skills that he trained before coming here. He knew that there's a high chance that he would fight someone at the shackled realm in this chain quest. That's why he thoroughly prepared himself and created an attack that could pierce the tough shell of a shackled realm.
He used the vajra sword as a medium to contain the enormous energy from three skills. It wouldn't work if Saya wasn't helping him restrain the energy as it would blow up at any second. In fact, only red grade and above weapons could handle this amount of energy.
BOOOOM!!!
A massive blade of energy burst forth and it cut everything. The entire territory of the Witch Clan was cut in half and the barrier was directly shattered into tiny fragments.
The massive energy blade continued to move forward as it sliced the white fog and the river into half.. It only disappeared after it reached thirty kilometers.
