Tajientos CollapsePart 2
If I had to describe it, I would say that the misshapen lump had a relatively scorpion-like form.
However, it was definitely not a scorpion.
Its pale body was ten ters long and composed of a flabby substance. Innurable human faces covered the creatures entire body and they wailed in agony despite the condition they were in.
Countless pale bodies supported the creatures long form as well. The human feet grew out of the creatures body, just like cilia, sohow allowing its ten-ter tall body to slither across the ground with strange and winding movents.
There was a frog-like head elevated above the others and that seed to be where the creatures voice had co from.
Behind the frog-like head were multiple, gigantic arms composed of nurous human arms that each held an iron ball and chain, large hatchets and other heavy weaponry.
This was the definition of a nightmare.
The next mont, countless arms with weapons in their hands were growing out of the creepy scorpions back, all rushing towards one of the giants.
The very sa giants whose hard fur prevented normal weapons from easily damaging them.
However, when the countless weapons struck the giant, it was instantly reduced to a mound of flesh, despite its desperate attempts to defend itself.
When the creature approached the dead giants it opened its large amount, which was lined with countless teeth, and began to devour it.
The size of the giant wasnt an issue as the creatures mouth was like that of a crocodiles, and it was long before I started hearing the grueso chewing sounds.
For a mont I believed this creature had been summoned by a summoner like myself to protect the humans, but this world wasnt that nice.
In a sowhat sluggish manner, the deford creature dragged itself towards the frightened people and proceeded to devour them.
Instead of an angel, a true monstrosity which was literally capable of swallowing giants had appeared from the church. The irrationality of the situation finally set in after witnessing that.
It could be said that panic was the appropriate response to all of this.
As the humans began to scatter, the deford monstrosity spoke in a leisurely voice.
This body gets hungry quickly
While spewing such easygoing words, the deford monstrosity began dragging people into its mouth like a whale consud krill.
It was an eat-what-you-caught situation.
anwhile, the remaining giants attacked the monstrosity one after another, but just like the humans that had escaped into the church, they ended up in its gut.
It seed like the agonized faces on the monstrositys body had increased
The pale lump of at eerily squird along while eating the humans and giants, the frog-like head chuckling the entire ti.
Kyuh
My mind finally rebooted when Pontas worried cry caused
to looked down at her.
Sorry, Ponta.
A group of armored skeletons, which had chased after the fleeing people, appeared in the plaza only to be trampled imdiately the deford monstrosity.
For the ti being, Ive seen enough of this monstrosity.
Even the tiger tribesn wouldnt be able to oppose it.
I had to seize the opportunity before it beca aware of .
I raised the Holy Thunder Sword as pale lights began to gather around the blade and swung it down.
Sword of Judgent!
The monstrositys attention was focused elsewhere, so I thought I could kill it in one blow.
Even though I put enough power into the attack to penetrate the monstrositys body, the monstrosity managed to quickly scuttle away when the large magic formation appeared underneath it .
Without a target, the sword of light simply shot into the sky.
So that large body was capable of such movents.
It moved as if soone had put its body on an electric wheelchair and stuck a frog-like head on top of it .
It moved like an out of control go-cart.
While cursing in my heart, I tried to launch my next attack, but the monstrosity detected
faster than expected.
The huge figure quickly turned around in place.
Everyone interferes with my peace! Everyone! Ill break everyone!!
While the strange voice whined like an upset child, its innurable feet moved in a wriggling wave as it ran towards . Ive been found out.
The nurous arms stretched out from the monstrositys back in an attempt to smash .
Holy Shield of Light!
I held my shield up and activated a defensive skill.
The monstrositys weapons reached
at that exact mont.
While defending with my shield, I began cutting off arms with my sword.
Since the monstrositys body was composed of pale lumps of flesh, it lacked the resistance of the giants hides, so regular attacks worked just fine.
Impertinence! Impertinence!! Impertinennnnece!!
As the monstrosity continued to shout in that strange tone, its irritation growing, it began closing in on
as if it wanted to crush .
The monstrosity lost sight of
when I used my transfer magic to dodge him, and its body shook while it looked for .
His sight seed to be fixed and it couldnt look around unless it turned its body.
Realizing that I could slip into the gaps in its vision and attack it from behind, I launched another attack at the monstrositys back.
I raised my sword again and invoked another skill a fast and short-ranged technique.
Holy Light Slash!
Raising my light-clad sword over my head, I slashed downwards and a beam of light flew in a straight line at the monstrosity, blowing off so of the feet that were supporting the monstrositys body. A pained wail echoed through the area followed.
Unfortunately, it recovered imdiately and turned around to face .
Its movents were unpleasant every ti I saw it.
The monstrosity cursed repeatedly as it readied its nurous arms, apparently not wanting to give
a chance to act.
Bad! Bad!! So annoying!!! Who are you!!?
While the frog-like head ranted and raved, it shoot its nurous arms towards .
I dodged the assault and fired the Destructive Holy Sword again but only managed to destroy a few of its feet as the monstrosity dodged the attack.
Worst of all, the damaged flesh started to bubble up and before long new feet grow in place of the lost ones.
While its regeneration wasnt fast, it wasnt that slow either.
In the ga, enemies that had abilities like this monster usually required a party to deal with: so mbers would stop it from regenerating while others continue to attack and daze the enemy, but I was by myself.
It was like challenging an end ga dungeon boss on your own.
There was a simple solution though, I just needed to constantly attack this guy and overwhelm its regeneration with pure damage
I avoided the monstrositys arms while I pondered just how i could accomplish that.
Id cut off several arms already, but their numbers didnt seem to decrease at all.
This wasnt going well, maybe I should retreat and prepare another strategy?
I looked around the area as I desperately tried to think of sothing.
Darkness had already covered the area as dusk gave way to night, limiting the effectiveness of transfer magic.
There was no helping it, though I didnt want to do this often, I had to use an overwhelming assult
I used transfer magic to put enough distance between us.
Ponta! Sorry, but youre gonna have to fly away for a while!
Kyun? Kyun!
Ponta was montarily confused by my command, but she still unwrapped herself from around my neck and flew into the air with her wind magic. This was for the best.
After looking up at her, I turned towards the monstrosity.
Having prepared myself, I used a certain summon for the first ti after arriving in this world.
Co forth, keeper of eternity! Aion!!
A huge magic formation made from turning, chanical clockwork began to shine in front of my feet.
A giant snake with the head of a lion began to erge from the magic formation.
The lion-headed snake slowly coiled itself around my legs and started to crawl up my body.
When the lion head reached my shoulder it opened its mouth to reveal a sharp set of fangs and proceeded to bite into my neck.
At the sa ti, the serpentine body turned into a strange pattern that fused into my armor, wrapping my body in a cascade of different colored lights.
Aion was one of the highest tier summons a summoner could acquire.
Its rather unique and special ability allowed it to freeze a players current state for three minutes the mont it was summoned.
The three-minute-state-freeze was difficult to explain simply put, my current condition would remain unchanged no matter what happened to
in the next three minutes.
In other words, my health wouldnt decrease no matter how many attacks hit
and my mana wouldnt drop not matter how many spells I used, making
effectively invincible.
However, this didnt an it was actually as useful as it sounded.
First, a summoner had to reach a considerably high level before they could even acquire the summon. Even after going through all kinds of hardship to acquire it, it was difficult for the summoner to actually make use of this summon.
The main problem was that a summoner could only have one active summoned beast at any ti.
Even if you beca invincible and could use other magic, a summoner couldnt bring out a combat-orientated summon. Furthermore, the mana costs to summon Aionwas incredibly high. Even if one had an interdiate magic-using class as their secondary class, their mana would be depleted once the three minutes passed.
For those reasons, the only way to use Aion effectively was to use it in combination with a class that had powerful skills In other words, you had no choice but to have a class of the highest tier in tandem with the summoner class.
Unfortunately, the ga didnt allow you to use the skill of all the classes that a player had obtained at once. With the summoner class required as the main or secondary class, one need to have an offensive character build to utilize these particular summon to its fullest.
You could call it the summon of abolishnt.
Ill finish you off quickly!! There wont a speck of dust left behind!!
I raised my sword and shield as the monstrositys nurous feet dragged itself towards .
Even though Aionwas supposed to prevent
taking damage, I didnt know how thatd work in reality.
While being overconfident was prohibited, ignoring so lesser attacks was a sound strategy.
So I let so of the monstrositys arms pass through my defenses.
I only felt the small shock of the weapons the arms held hitting
as the blow connected so the summon was working without a problem.
However, I didnt know how exactly much ti had passed since I summoned it, so I didnt have the entire three minutes to use.
It would be bad if I was still weathering the brunt of the enemys onslaught when the effect ran out.
Evil Sealing Holy Sword!!
Even so, I could chip away as much of my enemys health as possible until then.
With that in mind, I activated one of the Holy Knight skills which caused my sword to glow.
I swung my sword while still weathering the monstrositys onslaught.
A streak of light trailed behind the swords blade as it evaporated a section of the monstrositys body.
Aghaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!
While the skill I used had the greatest effect on undead, it seems to be effective on the monstrosity as well.
Since this was multiple tis more effective than normal attacks, repeatedly using magic attacks was the best strategy.
Essentially, that was the strategy a player would use while having Aion summoned, but I had sothing a bit different in mind.
The monstrosity stepped backed in an attempt to protect itself, but I launched my next attack without giving it that chance.
Face your destruction! Smite the Wicked!!
When I invoked one of the Pope classs areas of effect skills, a large shining magic formation appeared in the sky above the monstrosity, like Jacobs ladder, before a cross-shaped beam of light fell upon it.
Aghaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!
The monstrosity began to scream as its entire body started to evaporate.
Unable to withstand the pain, the monstrosity fell on his back like a brick, killing several giants that had approach the area from that direction.
One of the churchs wall collapsed when the monstrositys body collided with it.
However, I didnt let up my assault there.
I hamd the monstrositys body with Evil Sealing Holy Sworduntil Smite the Wicked cool down passed and I could cast it again.
By the ti the lion-headed snake pattern disappeared from my armor, the monstrosity had been reduced to a lump of lted flesh.
With the majority of its body deteriorated, what remained was a cluster of countless corpses fused together.
Kyun!
Hah, that was tiring.
Ponta landed on my head just as I averted my gaze from the monstrositys remains and surveyed the area.
The church had been heavily damaged by the battle.
But the monstrosity was mostly to bla for that, seeing as it recklessly moved about. It was unavoidable.
While making excuses for myself, I looked back at the monstrositys corpse.
Although Id defeated it, just what in the world was that thing?
In any case, finding Ariane and Chio was more important than any of my unanswered questions right now.
As I left the premises, I felt the eyes of the citizens staring at
from the shadows.
Now that the imdiate threat has been taken care of, I should join back up with my companions.
After looking up at the night sky, I put my sword over my shoulder and continued to walk.
Silver Note:
Aion: a Hellenistic deity of eternity, specifically unbound ti, which is removed from the regular flow of ti. Hes associated with a single serpent warping around a staff or the ouroboros.
Causality: The natural or worldly agency or efficacy that connects one process with another process or state, where the first is partly responsible for the second. Basically, since the dawn of ti causality has been the basis for all understandings of how the world works.
Arcs summon basically bitch slaps causality and makes him onto a god. For three minutes his everything proof, even to his own actions.
