Chapter 918

Apolaki went toe to toe with the boss monster, but all his slashes and cuts regenerate like it was never dealt. The earth body of the possessed golem is basically invincible unless they can blast it with great force. He already used up half of the sword lying on the ground which means he will no longer be able to prevent the boss monster from attacking them.

He used up half the spiritual swords in under thirty seconds which should be impossible, but he is pushing his limits. If he idles for just a few seconds, then an attack will be launched towards Levin Cloud. If he does not finish his chanting, then his team members will definitely die from the poison.

Apolaki is not only dealing damage but also cutting off Nuno from casting a spell towards an area. He is fortunate that the spiritual swords can but off the mana connection in a body as long as his kris is plunged into the body of his target. He actually thanked his good intuition to immediately use one of his most powerful attacks.

The kris buried inside of the boss monster's body acts as Apolaki's damage amplifier and mana disruptor. For each spiritual sword that passes through Nuno's body, he would feel a shock to his system as his soul would be damaged which in turn cancels the spell being cast by the boss monster. They are still facing a fragment of a god after all.

Apolaki might be having a difficult time, but a smile is plastered on his face. This is the feeling that he is chasing since he rarely feels the thrill of battling someone or something stronger than him. He is already the strongest champion in Mahar Lika if only battle mechanics are employed which is why he rarely finds anything challenging.

'',

As Apolaki is focused on his battle, a burst of green energy spread out from the location where Levin Cloud is channeling. The surroundings that got poisoned by Nuno suddenly started to get revitalized as well. It also made Apolaki become faster for some reason as he could feel the wind carrying him.

[Your team member, Levin Cloud, has used Gaea's Cleansing Wind.]

[The area has been purified due to the high concentration of holy energy released.]

[You will be immune to status ailments and curses for 10 minutes.]

[All status ailments and curses affecting the user will be cleansed.]

[If the affected user is under a status ailment or curse, they will receive 20% maximum health healing and their health regeneration will increase by 200% for five minutes.]

The great holy purification spell spread throughout the area which even made Nuno wince in pain. His corrupted body is not built to be in the presence of pure divine energy. The large body of the possessed golem tumbled down as it was hurt by the purification spell despite it not being an attack spell.

With the team renewed, they started to get on the offensive once more. Kabrakan suddenly jumped high from the position he was in and slammed his two large shields towards the body of the boss monster. The attack might not have dealt great damage due to Kabrakan having low damage modifier, but it pinned down the boss monster back to the ground.

Since the golem that Nuno possessed is made of earth, Kabrakan's Earth Shaker title activated upon it. Tremors could be seen travelling to the body of the large golem as it now struggled to stand up. The two women also assisted in pinning down the earth golem to the ground by releasing blasts of wind from above.

'

"Bramble Trap!" Levin Cloud casted as numerous thorny vines suddenly came out of the ground and held down the gigantic boss monster.

They noticed that Nuno became stronger when he possessed the earth golem, but it also somehow bonded them together. That is the only explanation on how they could damage Nuno despite only damaging the golem. Nuno did not simply possess the core of the earth golem because there is no core to begin with.

They now know that Nuno has indeed spread out his soul towards all parts of the earth golem. The Champions of Mahar Lika started their counter offensive on the hostile giant. Lupa's axe could be seen getting bigger with each swing while it also started to release vibrations in the direction it is swung. Hangin's bow also started to change as it started to have a sheen.

Hangin inhaled deeply and pulled her bowstring. She remained isolated in the air for a good few seconds before she released one mystical arrow that is different from the arrows that she released. A magic circle appeared in front of her and the arrow that she released transformed into a beautiful bird that contained the wind and water elements.

The giant bird that controlled the wind and water elements crashed down at full power against the boss monster. The huge solid body of the earth golem started to crumble due to the mixing of other elemental energies. Before the trapped boss monster could do something towards them, Apolaki already activated the special skill that he is saving.

"Spirit Sword: Resonance." Apolaki stated as he jumped to the air and all the remaining spiritual swords plunged on the ground started to fly towards him.

All the remaining spiritual sword gathered towards the kampilan that Apolaki is wielding. The ordinary weapon that he is using started to become a spiritual sword as well since the souls of the spiritual sword is entering the kampilan. The normal looking sword that he held suddenly started to develop a mystical aura around it.

'',

Nuno knew by instinct that this attack will definitely hurt him as he feared the spiritual swords of the Supreme God Bathala more than anything else in Mahar Lika. Nuno tried cutting his connection to the earth golem since his very soul is scattered inside of it but that proved to be difficult. The part of the golem body that is mixed with foreign elements are slow to respond.

As such, Apolaki managed to plunge his transformed spiritual sword upon the golem's body. Nuno could not take the pain and shouted with all his might. As soon as Apolaki plunged the kampilan on the earth golem's chest, a bright light suddenly flashed from the chest and with it a great powerful shockwave.

All of them got knocked back by about ten meters while the earth golem body that was solid became dust. A small figure suddenly flew out the dissolved body of the earth golem as if he was evicted from his home. The god fragment is now filled with even greater malice towards his attackers.

NPC Name: Nuno

Tier: Mythical

Level: 280

Health: 50%

Mana: 100%

Buffs: Earth God Spirit Fragment, Possessed by the Parasitic Shroom

The group managed to decrease the boss monster's health by half with great teamwork. They thought that it would be smooth sailing from there on, but they were wrong. The face of Nuno that had a haughty smile is now that of pure anger. The god fragment suddenly took out an item from its subspace that looked like an earthen pot.

Kabrakan immediately knew what that earthen pot holds or rather he could feel it instinctually. He shouted for the team to stop the boss monster from attempting to eat it but that proved to be difficult. The ground that was full of flowers suddenly started to get polluted by miasma as Nuno released his full might upon them.

Nuno, who is now carrying an earthen pot, suddenly opened his mouth wide and ate the pot with one big gulp. Madness could be seen written on the face of the god fragment as its old man looking body started to explode from within. The explosion from within even made the visual horrible as one can see Nuno's body starting to pop from the inside.

Thankfully, he is not a human being which means that he has no blood or bones. Each time that a part of Nuno's body explodes, he would release not only toxic fumes but also shrooms that infect the ground. The beautiful flora and fauna that Levin Cloud created has died without even much resistance.

Hangin did not let go of the chance to hit Nuno with her arrows as the target is now pinned to his current location by the backlash of absorbing the earthen pot. She thought that Nuno would be defeated as long as she blows his head off with the arrow, but she is greatly mistaken.

The arrow that she released did blow off part of Nuno's head, but the corrupted god fragment did not die. Instead, a large explosion of toxic fumes and shrooms are released. Levin Cloud told them to get away from the area as even the flora and fauna that was affected by Gaea's Cleansing wind all died under the influence of the toxic fumes and shrooms.

A loud cry of something inhuman could then be heard a few seconds later that chilled the spine of those that heard it.
