Chapter 298: Desperation, Magic and Miserable End

Chapter 298: Desperation, Magic and Miserable End

_________ POV Narration_________

The monstrous amalgamation of Elders was really the last thing that the leaders of Enel's Army expected.

But after all of them suffered enough damage, they realized they could not win under any circumstances.

Warcury had lost his tusks and all of his limbs.

Nusjuro had been disarmed, then dehooved rather forcefully as well.

And Peter... Well, the worm Elder didn't even get the chance to do anything against Dragon, only taking further damage, like being skinned alive by wind blades a few times, and having his bones crushed with sheer strength.

There was a literal lake of blood underneath him, one that Dragon had extracted out of him brutally. And it was obvious that his regeneration was slowing down exponentially.

The three of them were all that was left of the 5 elders.

Mercury and Saturn had already been crushed, and they knew that they would be soon to follow them into the afterlife...

So they did something drastic.

Warcury and Nusjuro both regrew their limbs and rushed towards pinned down Saint Peter.

They knew that they were making a mistake, turning their backs on their enemies like that... But they were already near their wits end.

"Santoryu Ogi: Ichidai Sanzen Daisen Sekai!(Great Three Thousand Great Thousand Worlds!)" "Emperor's Severance!"

Nusjuro continued rushing forward, even as he felt Zoro's blade cut into his neck. The three sword wielders had proved to be an absolute detriment to the skeletal half-horse swordsman's existence.

That was especially the case after the Elder had taken off Sanji's leg. Zoro started coming at him with a vengeance after putting his bandana on.

Now was no different, as his haki-enhanced blade decapitated him from behind in seconds.

Warcury was in a similar situation with Big Mom, the Francisco-inspired flying slash from her beheaded his gigantic Boar head just as swiftly.

The Boar Elder had managed to get the slightest upper hand against her before Marco awakened and healed all of her injuries. After that, it was just a losing battle...

Much like Nusjuro, he continued rushing towards Peter even as Big Mom's large blade cleaved at his neck.

There was desperation in their eyes as their heads flew... But it seemed that they had already managed to get close enough...

As soon as the heads of the two monstrous elders hit the pool of blood, the ground shook.

In an instant, Zoro took a step back as the blood that had pooled around Peter's gigantic body started shifting, moving violently.

It took a strange form, retracting and expanding, before finally taking on a final shape. It turned into a gigantic magical circle, reminiscent of the one they had used earlier.

Seeing that, Dragon couldn't help but snarl and dog his claws deeper into Peter's back.

'You aren't getting away that easily!'

But the purpose of that circle was not to teleport them away... Instead, all of the blood rushed into the middle.

Dragon's eyes widened as he felt his claws sink into liquid. He immediately lost his grip on the Worm Elder as his gigantic body also seemed to submerge into the pool of blood almost lifelessly.

For a second, they thought they had somehow won the fight. Especially when the bodies of Nusjuro and Warcury lay there lifelessly.

But what formed within that Pool of blood quickly brought them back to reality.

Dragon's gigantic body barely managed to lean out of the way, as a gigantic blood hoof hammered away one of his wings, evaporating it in an instant.

The Revolutionary leader immediately lost his balance in the air and swayed to the side. He was bound to hit the ground at that point.

The blood pool shifted as well, forming solid blackened spikes that started extending towards the Revolutionary Dragon, aiming to skewer him in one fell swoop.

And maybe they would have succeded...

"Ursus Shock!" "Devine Departure!"

In an instant, a gigantic flying paw print embedded itself into Dragon's midsection, sending him flying out of range of the pool of blood.

At the same time, a red flying slash aimed to sever all of the spikes and cut into the gigantic red blob that had now started building in the centre of it all.

But the spikes, imbued with the combined haki of three elders, were able to block the flying slash, redirecting it into the sky.

By the time Mihawk's green flying slash reached the blob in the middle, the strange fusion of the elders was already done.

The creature that emerged from that blood pool was an utterly unnatural amalgamation of the remaining elders.

The bulky torso of a boar, filled with tusk-like tentacles on all sides, perched on large horse-like hooves and muscled legs.

Eventually, the shockwave of his own move sent him flying back upwards, allowing Dragon to catch him.

"Keep up this intensity! Don't let this thing regenerate!" The Revolutionary dragon bellowed as he quickly placed the gravely injured Kuma on his back for Marco to stabilize his injuries at least.

"Don't need you to tell me that!" Big Mom shouted right back, Phrometeus and haki covering her blade.

That blackened flame-covered edge was immediately swiped at the collapsed body of the beast.

The tentacles moved to block it, but that was far from the only attack it had to deal with.

"Devine Departure!" "Sever!" "Nine Sword Style: Asura Sword-Drawing: Jest of the Dead" "Night's Fall!"

Shanks, Francisco, Zoro and Mihawk all attacked in quick succession with their strongest attacks.

Throughout the battle their coordination had increased by a lot, they were all monstrously talented fighters at the end of the day.

Shank's red flying slash split the creature in two. Francisco's dark red flying slash cut the body as well as all of the tentacles, allowing Big Mom's attack to also land cleanly.

Zoro's attack was more personal, jumping into the fray and portraying a swift dance as he slashed at the creature's innards. Before jumping away to dodge Mihawk's attack.

The hawkeyed Swordsman's attack came last, but its power was undeniable. His dark green flying slash covered a much wider range than the others, swiping widely at the creature and enveloping its entire already-directed body.

That slash seemed to almost erase what remained of the creature, leaving behind a broken-down skeleton stripped of any flesh and organs.

But before any meat or nerves started growing back out, Dragon roared and pointed his large mouth to the ground.

"Storm Dragon's Breath!"

A gigantic and visible stream of wind and lighting flowed out of the western dragon's mouth, completely covering what remained of the Chimera Elder's body.

Meanwhile, Big Mom laughed and continued raining down lightning onto it as well.

Explosions rang out everywhere on the battlefield, and all of the swordsmen had already pulled backwards.

By the end of it, the ground was once again turned to magma, and there was nothing left within that large crater.

Big Mom then jumped into the crater, sniffing around for a moment before she grabbed at the air, grasping some white cotton-candy-looking wisps before stuffing them in her mouth.

She chewed on them for a bit, before rubbing her belly and unleashing a large burp.

"Mamama~ They tasted really boring!~" She couldn't help but laugh as she let the others know that things had ended.

"Good riddance..." Francisco muttered at the edge of the crater, a wide smile rising on his face.

They had finally done it.

The Elders were dead, their souls eaten by Big Mom. A fitting end for a bunch of 'superior' celestial dragons.

What was left of their last fight was nothing but a pitiful last attempt at taking at least one of them to the grave.

It was a massive gamble, one that had failed miserably, the Elders individually had posed a greater threat than that mindless beast.

It was just an inefficient large target that all of Enel's army could focus on and take down together.

'What a disappointment... That Nusjuro individual seemed like a strong Swordsman.'

Mihawk sighed sheathing his blade and walking back towards the islands, likely going for a tea break.

"Let's go and help the others..." Shanks patted Zoro and the back, and the two of them went off, being a lot more proactive than Mihawk.

The others also didn't stick around that side of the battlefield.

Just like that, one side of the conflict concluded. Aramaki, the Forest God, was now the World Government's last line of defence.

But how much longer was he going to last, I wonder?
