Chapter 458 The Blood Cocoon

"What the hell, where did all this blood come from, and how the hell did he break free so quickly?!" Shadow cursed as he stared at the knight who had stopped moving ever since he broke free of his vines and Mia's ice.

The blood continued to flow out of him and even after Shadow tried to bind him once more with his vines, they were quickly submerged in the small lake of blood and disappeared.

The lake of blood should be 1cm deep, but when Reign tried stepping on it, his foot easily went deep inside and he had to quickly pull it back as he felt hands grabbing on it.

"Damn it, don't touch the blood, this guy is controlling it!" Reign shouted as the others all nodded at him. The lake was eerie and mysterious, even without him speaking, they wouldn't have tried stepping on it.

Mia tried freezing the lake, but it was the same as back when they faced Eigol, the lake was incredibly resistant to her powers, each time a layer of the lake froze, it would quickly get submerged in the lake where the ice would disappear.

The blood started boiling at that location and Mia would be unable to freeze it. The team all tried to attack the knight with long-range attacks. All of the attacks hit, but not the knight, the lake of blood moved and the knight was soon encased in a cocoon of blood that protected him from all the attacks.

No matter what they did, they were unable to hit the knight as none of their attacks could break through the powerful defense of the knight.

Mia had flown over and started attacking with her sword, but even some of her most powerful skills couldn't break through, they were merely able to crack the cocoon that would soon be fixed up by even more blood.

Reign used his lightning and soon the whole lake was filled with it, it actually helped. The blood moved slower thanks to his lightning and he was able to damage the cocoon in this way, but it was very slow.

Wolf also joined in, with his huge flaming sword he cut parts of the lake, evaporating the blood. He summoned more flames and hurled huge flame balls at the knight that exploded on impact and spread more flames out.

The sea of blood was unable to completely extinguish the flames and they helped out with evaporating more of the blood.

Laura also chipped in, she summoned her tome and sent black and purple fireballs at the knight before chanting for the [ Spear of Annihilation ]. The spear wasn't her most powerful skill, but it was one that she could now cast multiple times, which made it perfect for attacking a stationary target like the knight.

Slowly, they made the lake of blood smaller but compared to how much they had done, it should have been even smaller than now.

"Dammit, is that guy still bleeding?!" Shadow cursed as he stared at the blood cocoon that was present in the middle of the lake. They had never stopped attacking it, but it was getting reinforced by the blood every time they damaged it, making it nearly impossible to be destroyed.

Suddenly the sounds of their attacks being sent were overwhelmed by a sound that reminded them of millions of birds chirping.

A huge spear of lightning appeared next to Reign who had his eyes closed. The black and white spear was about 7 meters long, but it was still growing. The power that could be felt from the spear was great and it was slowly becoming more powerful than even Laura's [ Spear of Annihilation ], with the drawback being the longer casting time.

Mia and the others continued attacking the cocoon and the lake of blood with no stop while Reign was focused on making the spear larger and larger.

His face became covered in sweat as he struggled to maintain his focus after the spear reached a full 15 meters in length. It wasn't just the size of it, but also the way the spear looked like. It wasn't just lightning as Reign had made sure to condense his lightning as much as possible, making the spear look like one that was made of white and black metal.

Of course, it wasn't perfect, there were many parts where the lightning was clearly visible and one would quickly be able to see that the spear was not made of any metals but highly condensed lightning.

Such a feat should be impossible for the current Reign, but after he had seen Drayce creating the throne simply by using fire, he knew it was possible and thus tried doing the same thing.

Of course, he couldn't compare himself to Drayce at all. His spear could be called crude at best, there were no details on it or anything, it was a simple stick with a pointed end. But it was still enough, what he was able to do was something that most would only be able to do in the Transcendent realm.

As for Drayce, he was someone that could do things that in most cases only Saints knew how to do, comparing oneself to him was pointless.

After a couple of moments, Reign finally opened his eyes and glanced at the spear. He sighed a bit as he hoped that it would look better, but he still had a smile on his face as he had succeeded in what he wanted to do.

"Everybody!" Reign suddenly shouted.

"Create some distance!" Mia, Wolf, Shadow, and everybody else quickly ran back in order to create more distance between themselves and the knight. Even though the lake of blood was now about 350 meters in diameter and such a distance should be enough for them to be safe, they didn't doubt that Reign was telling them to do it for their own safety.

Reign nodded after seeing everybody run, he wasn't sure how far away they needed to be in order to be clear of what was about to happen, but he had a feeling that the distance between them and the knight simply wasn't enough.

He waited for about 5 seconds before grabbing the spear with all of his might, he twisted his hip and brought it back before stepping forward and launching it straight at the cocoon of blood.

As Reign did that, Mia, Wolf, and the others all prepared to attack with their most powerful skills as well. The knight was incredibly powerful and even Reign's skill might not be able to defeat it, as soon as it landed, they planned on launching the most powerful skills they had as well.

Wolf created a huge fireball and continued increasing its size, he didn't worry about condensing his flames as that would take too much time so he simply focused on making it larger and larger.

Mia created an iceberg above the knight, the iceberg was about 10 meters in diameter and had a pointed end that was pointing straight at the knight. Shadow on the other hand summoned his small ball of darkness, he had never tried experimenting with this skill as it was dangerous, but he felt that he needed to make it stronger for this battle.

Beast had his bow transformed into a 4-meter-long bow. He stepped down on one end of it before grabbing the string with both of his hands. The 3-meter-long arrow that was notched on it glowed with a splendid green as he pointed it straight at the knight.

Laura had transformed her arm into a demonic one and was still making a pentagram in front of her, this one that was different compared to the ones she made before. It was not only larger, but it had more details to it as well. Many symbols could be seen on the large pentagram and as soon as she was finished, the symbols started glowing before the blood in the air started moving around and creating an even more intricate pentagram.

Greenie and Tank were quite limited with their assortment of long-range skills, but they could still help out. Greenie held his hammer above him as a formless ball of energy shrouded the head of the hammer and continued growing around it.

Tank on the other side held his axe with both hands as he poured as much mana as he could, he was simply going to do the same Greenie and Shadow were doing, pour more mana into a skill, and make it stronger.

Swish

The spear hit the cocoon.

There was no sound from the impact.

There was no huge explosion as Reign had thought there would be.

The spear simply penetrated through the cocoon and embedded itself in the ground while a good 3 meters were still sticking out of the cocoon.

Suddenly

The spear started losing form and in a matter of moments, it exploded.

The explosion of lightning suddenly covered a full 500 meters around the cocoon and even Reign was caught up in it, luckily the explosion was from his lightning and it wouldn't hurt him.

The others were all standing a bit more than 500 meters from the knight and were not harmed, but the sheer radius of the explosion surprised them all.

As soon as the lightning that covered the sky started disappearing, they all launched their skills at the cocoon that had been breached by the spear.

Reign ran back as he didn't know just how powerful the explosion that was formed from multiple skills of such calibers would be, but he knew that it would at the bare minimum be as large as the explosion from his spear.

Boom!
