Chapter 362 Operation Synchro IX (Position H’s Side)

[Kayla.]

[I got it!]

The great lightning spirit replied to Amy's call as her golden eyes began glowing, with storm clouds gathering in the sky.

The intense wave of flames released from Amy's body then converged into her large flame-constructed great sword as she took a stance.

Immediately after, she spun her body around and swung the sword forward, releasing a wide slash of flames that transformed into a huge five-metre-tall tiger.

The tiger roared wildly as it pounced forward and bit on the Dullahan's upper body with its jaws, at the exact same time that Kayla's hands waved downwards.

What happened next was a bright flash of golden light that was too blinding to directly look at, as a singular golden bolt of lightning dropped down from the skies and onto the body of the Dullahan.

***KAAABOOOOMMM!!!!!

The earth shook and the sky rumbled, with a huge cloud of smoke and fire rising up into the clouds while shockwaves spread out in all directions on the ground.

[Level Up.] X9

[Rare Skill Acquired]

Amy stared at the notifications in front of her while her hands moved, gathering all the flame and lightning energy that would have definitely swept through the entire battlefield and turned a good number of both allies and enemies to ashes.

All that energy was concentrated into one five-metre-wide ball of red flames with golden lightning crackling all around it.

She then turned towards the nearby A ranker who had hastily put up a barrier to prevent the explosion from damaging allies and held up the ball of flames and spoke.

[Here…should be enough to kill a level 300 lich.]

Seeing this, Kuro sighed and facepawed while inwardly asking if acting like this was a trend amongst higher ranked spirits.

At Position H, a certain blonde-haired battle priestess heaved an exasperated sigh after counting the number of undead mages that had been destroyed so far and noting that this wasn't even up to half of the total number that they had initially detected.

"For fuck's sake, whose idea was it to stuff thousands of undead mages here and give them shield-wielding undead ogres as guards?"

As she spoke, she activated the spear edge of the Memoria, before stabbing it into the ground beside her and grabbing the radiant codex.

"Support Magic:

Enchant: Life.

Enchant: Greater Regeneration

Enchant: Greater Resistance."

With each line of enchantment, a new green ring of light was added to the orb of green light that surrounded the Radiant Codex cupped in between her palms.

A complicated three-ringed magic circle appeared underneath her feet, with a strong aura of life permeating from her very being, an aura that all the undead despised.

Roars were heard from all around as dozens of undead broke away from their groups, disregarding the orders of the superior undead and charged towards the seemingly defenceless Eliza.

Some Holy Knights and adventurers noticed this and charged forward to protect Eliza, however, they were not fast enough to match the speed of the giant undead chimera that swooped in with its mouth wide open.

They launched long-range attacks towards the creature, with some of them yelling at Eliza to cancel her spell, however, the Chimera tanked their attacks with its high durability and tried to bite the girl with its jaws covered in poison and death aura.

Just when they thought that it was going to succeed, Eliza just gave it a side glance while activating a skill.

Three thick layers of translucent green light appeared in between Eliza and the Chimera's mouth, blocking its jaws from snapping shut on her body.

Before the creature could even recover from its slight surprise, Eliza had already grabbed the Memoria and jumped in the air, above the barriers of light and onto the chimera's back, all while activating her child of life skill in mid-air.

Her body was enveloped in a thick coat of life essence a moment before she landed on the chimera's back and stabbed the Memoria's spear tip through its neck.

"GRARGH!!"

The chimera let out a strange scream upon feeling the pain of the life energy-infused staff stab into its neck, however, that wasn't enough to send the creature to the afterlife and Eliza knew this.

​ It was even noticeably infuriated at the thought of the source of its most detested 'life' energy standing on its back, flapping its wings of black feathers in an attempt to take to the skies and force Eliza off.

Even so, the battle priestess calmly used a charge of her child of life and activated 'Life Inducement', before going on to grab the Chimera's wings with her bare hands and coating the two wings in life essence.

"GRUAHHH!!"

As the chimera screamed in pain, Eliza buffed herself with her own support magic.

Two rings of green light appeared around each of her wrists as she stabilized her footing as best as she could before pulling the wings of the chimera off its body with brute strength unexpected from her thin arms.

Even the holy knights and adventurers who had arrived and were dealing with the other undead that were flocking towards her had their jaws drop in shock upon seeing her do this.

Eliza didn't even notice this as she flung the ripped-off wings away, grabbing onto the tip of the spear stabbed in the chimera's neck and turned around before jumping off its body while still holding the spear.

The undead that was wallowing in pain from having its wings covered in life energy before being ripped off wasn't able to resist the pulling force as the girl inadvertently pulled its huge body over her head and slammed it on the ground head first.

Spider web-like cracks spread out from the point where the chimera's head hit the ground, along with shockwaves that knocked back everyone in the area beside Eliza.

As for what the blonde teenager was doing; she was grabbing the head of the snake tail of the chimera that attempted to bite her face the moment she overturned its body.

"Flower Cannon."

The ground beside the chimera cracked open to reveal a gigantic shoot that curled downwards so its flower bud was right in front of the Chimera's torso.

Immediately after, magic power concentrated on the flower bud as it bloomed and launched a beam of concentrated magic power from an opening of the petals.

This beam of magic power slammed into the body of the chimera and sent it flying heaven knows how many hundreds of metres, crashing into multiple trees, buildings, and even a small hill before finally perishing.

"Ow…my arms hurt."

Eliza spoke light-heartedly as she tossed the snake tail of the chimera that was ripped off when her flower cannon sent the rest of its body flying, before turning towards the radiant codex that was still floating in the air and completing her spell.

Immediately after, a wave of magic power rushed out of Eliza's body and spread out in all directions, followed by a three-ringed magic circle that appeared, centred under her feet, with lines of green light and a misty white haze with a few gold-lamé sparkles hanging in the air within the circumference of the magic circle.

For the few seconds it lasted, it was a wondrous sight, just like a scene out of a fantasy story.
