Chapter 728 Lancelot Against The Ice Giant Warrior King!



-----

Battles all around the ruined Kingdom of the Demon King continued. With Lancelot stopping Argus from reaching the people hiding underground, to Kuro's new transformation upon fusing with Maria's Moonlight Divine Body Ego, to Darkbound fighting the ferocious Claw, and Anastasia... running away.

Lancelot would had never stood a chance against such a powerful and enormous foe as Argus, who proclaimed himself the Ice Giant Hero. A man who had reached the level of strength comparable to an S Rank Monster thanks to the Frost Queen's magic.

His task was simple, to destroy the city Maria loved so much and kill everyone in there mercilessly. It was like asking him to crush ants, a task that wasn't even complicated, nor even tiring to do, but that was slightly annoying, as ants tend to scatter around quickly.

"Heh! Do you truly think I'll just fight an oversized bug like you?!" Laughed Argus. "My subordinates have been wanting to kill something strong enough for a while, you know? Boys! He's all yours! Gahahaha!"

Argus laughed, stepping back as he ordered his subordinates to fight against Lancelot. They were all A+ Rank Ice Giants wearing magic armor and magic weapons, and all of them seemed mighty enough to serve someone like Argus, their expressions clearly showed that they had gone through rigorous training.

"GAHAHA! KILL HIM THEN!"

"Don't disappoint us, bug!"

"I've never seen something like this before! Is this bug a demon or whatever?"

"Interesting...!"

Twenty A+ Rank Ice Giants surrounded Lancelot, as he still was assimilating the powers through the Spirit Fusion he underwent with Maria's Swarm Body Ego. At his current strength, he would had most likely lost. But right now, things were different.

"Prepare yourself, Lancelot!" Maria said, as she saw her status windows emerging one after the other.

Ding!

[You have successfully undergone [Divine Spirit Soul Connection] and [Spirit Fusion] with [Abyssal Ant Knight: Lancelot (A Rank)]!]

[As a result of the fusion, all of your stats have temporarily converged together, additionally, many bonuses increasing these stats even further have been activated!]

[However, due to the instability of this fusion, the limit time has decreased to 4 Minutes]

Magical Weapons converged together through divine power, as Lancelot's Spear fused with Maria's Soul and one of her many weapons, melding into a brand-new Divine Weapon.

Ding!

[The power of the Divine Weapons have reacted to the combined souls, temporarily fusing into the Special Divine Relic [Heaven Piercing Divine Spear: Sleipnir]!]

[The power of the Special Divine Relic is reacting to the fused souls magic and divine essences!]

FLAAAASH!

A powerful and wondrous-looking spear emerged, made of darkness which materialized into a divine weapon. It started overflowing with the power of chaos, the abyss, and the swarms that composed Maria's form, which were made up of her very soul.

"I am ready, milady!" Lancelot said, fully knowing he had to end this in less than four minutes or he would be in big trouble otherwise.

"RAAAHHHH!!!"

Dozens of Ice Giants rushed towards Lancelot. Their enormous hammers and clubs attempting to crush him into the ground constantly with each blow!

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!

However, Lancelot wielded the powers given to him better than Maria had predicted, as he evaded the sluggish yet overwhelming attacks with his amazing agility and flight speed, he swarmed the bodies of the Ice Giants with millions of bugs made out of his own soul.

BBBZZZZZTTT!

"Uaagggh...! B-Bugs?!"

"My flesh! Uuaagggh...!"

"Shit! They aren't freezing either?!"

The Ice Giants were instantly swarmed. Three of them were overwhelmed and slowly eaten alive as the swarm multiplied constantly, while Lancelot leaped over the air and then fell down with his spear pointing into the head of another Ice Giant.

CLAAAAAASSHHHH!!!

The head of the ice giant was easily pierced through, as the giant died on the spot, falling into the floor with its head bleeding all over the floor.

BAAAM!

"RAAAARGH! YOUUU!"

Three more Ice Giants leaped to fight, only for their legs to be pierced countless times by Sleipnir and left with countless hole-shaped wounds, which the Swarm quickly took advantage of and started devouring viciously.

BBBBZZZZTTTT!

"AAGGGH...!"

"DAMNED INSECT...!"

"RAAAAGH!"

The Ice Giants grew madder, unleashing countless icicle spikes against Lancelot which he sliced down into hundreds of ice cubes using Sleipnir, as he unleashed more of the power of Maria's Swarm, bringing forth gigantic insectoid jaws and mandibles, alongside scorpion-like claws, tearing apart the Ice Giants arms and legs while piercing their heads with Sleipnir's tip.

CLAASH! CLAASH! CLAAASH!

"Argus! Confront me, coward!" Lancelot roared, having taken down every Ice Giant in just half a minute. Argus was left perplexed, but a smile surged on his face as he watched Lancelot approaching.

"Hahaha... Coward?! Me?! I was merely giving my subordinates a chance... But I can see they were just goods for nothing!" Argus laughed, raising his giant axe and intercepting every blow from Lancelot.

SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! CLAAASH!

"HAAAH!" Argus roared, unleashing his Magic from his free palm as a Blizzard was instantly conjured, blowing Lancelot away!

FLUOOOOOSH!

"Unnggh...!" Lancelot noticed that his entire body was beginning to freeze. His legs suddenly shattered into pieces and fell due to having been frozen solid.

"[Undead Restoration]!"

FLAAASH!

However, Maria's magic was there to back him up, as his legs regenerated instantly by fusing with the swarm and materializing back, even stronger than before.

"Hoh, regeneration, isn't it?" Argus laughed, reaching Lancelot as he jumped into the skies with utmost ease despite his tremendous size.

He swung his gigantic axe and slashed at Lancelot with everything he had, Lancelot used Sleipnir to defend himself from the clash, being pushed down into the ground once more, and shattering the floor below him.

CLAAAAAASH!

"Aaakkhh...!" Lancelot mandibles cracked, as he vomited a mouthful of green blood. But it was far from over for him, he was also an Undead after all, damage like this wouldn't stop him.

"Milady, please, give me more strength..." Lancelot said.

"But your soul can't take it all...!" Maria said.

"It doesn't matter! I must defeat him, at all costs!" Lancelot roared.

"...Very well." Maria agreed.

FLUOOOOSH!
