Chapter 256: [A Mountain of War and Death] 41/?: A Raging War!

-----

"Oooooo!"

"For master…!"

"Giishyaaa…!"

"Kill them!"

"Kill, Kill!"

The Undead and Plant-type monsters that were forming the large army protecting the Necromancer's fortress began to march at great speed, raising their weapons… or vines.

However, most of their attacks were way too useless, Veronica's body was too strong, too resistant, and heavy, it was completely unfazed by them, even the big Undead or Plant Monster that went up to Rank 7 was not able to put a dent into her enormous body, which constantly charged through the army as if they were mere ants…

Due to the circumstances and the vast amount of space inside the Dungeon, Veronica gave herself the freedom to go 'all out', shapeshifting into a giant millipede-like creature and destroying everything that came her way without having to worry about casualties or any destruction that could collaterally affect someone else.

Although Veronica's sharp legs ravaged most of the army, the Necromancer, overwhelmed by her raw power, emerged from the rooftop of his Fortress as he began to conjure several Spells over the piles of Undead and Plant monsters that had just died by Veronica's monstrous power.

"Raise! Raise! Combine! Fight!" he roared. The Necromancer's Phantasmagoric Aura began to converge and release all over the battlefield, the skeletons, corpses, and ravaged plants, thorns, living armor, and more, began to awaken once again, converging into piles of monstrous shapes.

"OOoooOOOooooOOOO…!"

"GuuuoOOOooOOOnNNnnnNn…!"

"GyyYyYYyYaaaAAaAAAAaAAaaaa…!"

The enormous monstrosities, resembling formless golems made out of bones, corpses, and plants, moved to the Necromancer's will, forming enormous tentacles and arms, catching Veronica's legs, and beginning to pull with the enormous and undying strength that they had acquired!

A spectacle that perhaps no one could have ever imagined happening was being unfolded, as a gigantic metallic millipede of over thirty meters of height and more than eighty meters of length as battling and resisting the force of more than ten piles of bones, corpses, and plants that surpassed forty meters each.

Veronica began to unleash powerful cannons of light through the openings that appeared around her body, destroying the piles that quickly came back up again, as if they were incapable of being destroyed.

No matter how much they burnt and were torn into pieces, the little pieces would simply get back up and stuck together through some unholy phantasmagoric power exerted by the Necromancer.

Although Veronica seemed to begin to struggle, the Necromancer looked like the one struggling the most.

"How is this even possible?! It cannot be… it simply appeared out of the ground?! They completely skipped all of the plans, armies, traps, and many other things I had prepared for them! What method did they use?! Tch! No… I cannot give up yet! Accursed Graveyard!" 

The Necromancer expanded his aura around as he created Accursed Graveyards all around his fortress, where he began to call up all the Undead-type and Plant-type Monster that was on standby in the other areas of the dungeon, all the ones that Veronica and Ervas skipped!

"March! Ravage them! Don't let them take any other step! Weaken them! Destroy that accursed metallic demon!" roared the Necromancer, as his powerful presence and authority immediately exerted itself into the Undead, who obeyed his orders without a doubt, marching towards Veronica's enormous body.

Veronica destroyed these small troops very easily by simply waving her legs, but as they were destroyed, the Necromancer immediately transformed them into giant golems made up from all the bones, corpses, armor, weapons, and plants that the monsters were made up of.

"Abyssal Soul!" said Veronica, as she released her powerful Abyssal Soul around herself, shaping it as countless tentacles and claws, covered in Anir's Dark Scales, the powerful floating claws began to fight back against the large group of monsters, who began to shape as giant fists, hitting her entire body.

Clash! Clash! Clash!

Veronica's Abyssal Claws were simply stronger and more dexterous, as she possessed the awakened version of Unarmed Fighting Technique, her ability over anything related to fighting unarmed was superior.

And because anything that was not an external weapon counted as unarmed, even her soul covered by her scales which were part of her soul as well, alongside her own metallic body all counted as Unarmed, unleashing tremendous destructive forces one after another…

However, even after all of that, she seemed to begin to get a bit overwhelmed, as more golems appeared one after another, using their enormous amalgamation of bodies, shaping themselves as fists and claws, and hitting her constantly!

"Time to deploy our forces!" said Veronica, as her elongated body began to open in each section, as people wearing black armor and wielding powerful cursed weapons jumped one after another while being accompanied by many differently shaped monsters.

"About time, we can't simply let you do everything, Veronica!" said Anna, as she jumped out of Veronica like a barbarian warrior princess, her muscles bulged and then tightened, as her entire body exuded an aura of greatness and strength. Her armor resonated with her, alongside her large axe, Axe-chan, who was now a Rank 7 Thunderous Cursed Axe!

"Axe-chan! Let's do it!" said Anna.

"On it~~~! Let's kill all these bastards who dare oppose our lords, fufufufu~!" laughed Axe-chan, as she began to exude a powerful thundering aura, enveloping Anna as if it were yet another armor made entirely out of thunder.

Thanks to Veronica's new upgrades into her metallic materials, her ingots now held the ability to manipulate thunder, and most weapons made through it would be able to exude some kind of electricity, Axe-chan in particular had awakened something within her that made her more exceptional in controlling this power than most of the other Cursed Weapons!

And now that Anna had recently awakened her Axe Technique into the Thunderous Cursed Axe Technique Skill, she had gained new techniques that used Axe-chan's new abilities to its limits!

Anna's speed was increased by the thunderous armor that coated her powerful body, as she exhaled and inhaled air while being in midair, raising Axe-chan in the sky.

"Thunderstorm Splitting Axe!" said Anna, as her emerald eyes flashed in a fierce light.

Anna's axe moved vertically, cutting through the air as a powerful shock of lightning flew out of her axe in the shape of her blade, clashing through the nearby pile of bones, corpses, armor, weapons, and plants.

BOOM!

"GUUOOONN…!"

The thunder fell through the entire being, cutting it perfectly in half, while also dissipating the phantasmagoric dead spirit outside of the pile, which flew away in fear.

Clash!

The pile of bones, corpses, armor, weapons, and plants fell into the ground, motionless.

The Necromancer tried to revive it again as a new golem, but it took more than he imagined raising again, due to the powerful attack, the dead spirits in the ambient became too frightened, and at the same time, when they immediately scattered away, they felt attracted by Veronica's Death Attribute Charm, flying towards her.

"What…?! The Dead Spirits are flying elsewhere?! Obey me, you rat!" roared the Necromancer, as he failed in completely raise the golem properly, only getting a smaller version, which was crushed by another of Anna's attacks, which made the golem explode into a pile of broken bones, corpses, and more.

"Who are those demi-humans? Since when has this measly beast-kin been capable of such prowess? They cannot even change Jobs, this is ridiculous!" said the Necromancer, as he kept commanding his troops while hitting the ground in frustration.

"Thanks for the meal~," said Aqua, as her enormous water body jumped out of Veronica's insides, entering the battle with a loud bang as her body impacted over a golem!

BOOM!

Aqua, on her great voracity, began to instantly devour the pile of varied bones, corpses, and other metallic objects, engulfing it all into her gigantic liquid body as she slowly dissolved it all.

The Necromancer, who was left without anything to even convert into an Undead, was left in awe as he saw the enormous Slime in front of him.

"Such… gigantic Slime… What kind of beast is this? It is impossible for a Slime this big to even exists on this continent! And why is it blue, isn't that the weakest type of slimes?!" asked the Necromancer in rage and desperation.

"Guboooo…! Yummy!" said Aqua, as she extended her gigantic slimy tentacles all around the battlefield, beginning to mercilessly eat anything around her, absorbing it inside of her giant body and slowly dissolving them into nutrients and energy.

"GUOOONN…!"

A golem appeared besides Aqua, conjuring a powerful fireball and aiming it at Aqua's enormous body, which was a bit target!

"Gubo? Water Barrier!" said Aqua, using a Shield Technique by using her own body to protect herself from the hellish fireball, which quickly evaporated her shield but seemed to not hit it directly.

"A Mage, gubo?" asked Aqua.

"Aqua, take your toys!" said Veronica, throwing to Aqua a giant helmet, alongside two enormous gauntlets of over ten meters of height each.

"Time to play! Fist Barrage! Water Punch! Rocket Punch!" said Aqua, as she unleashed a barrage of fists over the Mage-type golem, while also throwing her fists as if they were missiles, hitting the golem and making it lose its balance!

BOOM!

"Now, I eat!" said Aqua, jumping over the enormous monster as she began to digest it immediately.
