Chapter 1787: Fighting The Relentless Swarm!
The train was about to go off, not only we needed to get to that city, but also buy tickets and get inside that damn train.
Why? because we all agree it was way too convenient that out of nowhere a train was just setting out somewhere else.
It wasn't coincidence, this definitely has to do with the "story" of this trial.
However, to our dismay, annoying fucking alien bugs with equal stats to mine blocked us from everywhere.
And I've had enough of their shit.
I really planned to use my new sword against a mighty opponent like Pandemonium but... Fuck it, I'm using Celestia!
"[Divine Celestial Venerable Swordsmanship]: [Celestial Horizon Cleave]!"
As I activated her Abilities, I swung Celestia horizontally with all my strength, as a giant slash of pure white and silver light was released at once, as huge as a kilometer, it reached the insectoids and then...
SLAAAASH!
It slashed right through them! Yes, it worked! Skin, flesh, exoskeleton, everything. What seemed like they were so tough and indestructible, simply became nothing but butter against Celestia's hot knife.
Although they might have similar stats, my power is still superior with my equipment, something the trial didn't account for at all, and I am sure that it was what Andromeda intended as well.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Hundreds of these critters died at once, when they were slashed apart, they exploded on explosions of White Light of Order, which damaged surrounding bugs.
However, the bastards swarming the rest of my body had yet to die! And not only did it fucking hurt, but it was horrendous.
It's as if a hundred mosquitoes were all over my body, biting and draining me out of my blood!
I know I'm tasty, but you can't just eat me like I'm your damn buffet!
"Kids, take care of these!"
"Alright dad!"
"Okay."
"Graaawwrrr!"
The train was about to leave, I'll have to leave the rear to my kids while I slash the front! There was literally no more time anyways. We had to do this, or we were all screwed and we would have to find another way to leave this horrible place.
"{Heavenly Sun}!"
Meanwhile, Drakda kept using his same spell from before, but then as he noticed they were tanking them, he began to divide his blood and void magic as he combined it into many "branches" that interconnected with many foes, dealing constant damage!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
As this happened, Benladann and Miranda continued slashing the scavengers or absorbing them through their domain or Miranda, empowering themselves.
Anything Miranda ate and absorbed would also become part of Benladann's power, so they were gaining a lot of temporary strength, even more with Umbra's Enhancement Effects affecting them as well.
Meanwhile, I was slashing, cleaving, and more importantly, raining down judgement upon these foolish creatures!
"[Divine Celestial Venerable Swordsmanship]: [Divine Justice Blade Spirit Summon]!"
Hundreds of giant white and silver colored swords shining with the brightness of Order and Justice materialized around me, as I used them to grind and cleave my way through the
endless swarm!
SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!
However, more, and more, and more, and more kept coming!
Agh, this is fucking endless!
"RAAAAAHHHH!"
With a furious roar, I activated Venerable's Enlightenment, as both of my Living Domains responded, Storm unleashed giant tornadoes of emerald winds and Nebula thousands of massive spheres of light, darkness, void, flames, and ice.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
"Come on...!"
BBZZZTTTT!
I kept "swimming" through the endless swarm as we all gave our all to fight, I even summoned all my Spirits at once, as they cooperated with us.
"Come on, dammit!"
BBZZZTTT...!
And then...
As if emerging from an endless sea of horror, I saw the empty, clear sky.
"Aahh!"
And a city right below me.
