Chapter 1044 Battling Chimeras

-----

A sudden tremor greeted us as we advanced across the ruins, we quickly changed our stances to greet whatever was coming, my senses quickly noticing several beings approaching, not just a big one this time.

"Shyaaagghh!"

The creatures emerged from within the corridors, resembling giant spiders and other insects, made of black, yellow, and orange sunstone.

They had skeletons or bone pieces inside of their bodies, and their red crystal-like eyes shone with a phantasmal glow.

They were pretty intimidating creatures, each one at least three meters big, and they came in the dozens!

With my sight, I could already count around thirty of them, and several more were coming behind them.

Ding!

[A large swarm of [Sunstone Insectoid Chimeras (Tier 7)] have emerged!]

[Their King has ordered their agonizing souls to clench their thirst for blood with all of you...]

The King?

Is this the Boss of this Dungeon, perhaps?

"Here they come!" My mother said. "Hold on, I'll keep them busy."

She waved her staff, making a circular formation of many divine runes assembled in front of us. In a literal second, several barriers of light surged, stopping the swarm from... well, swarming us.

"[Divine Holy Light Barrier]"

FLASH! FLASH! FLASH! FLASH! FLASH!

The barriers swiftly unified together into an enormous one, the insectoids furiously started to hit the barrier with their gigantic claws, attempting to tear it apart. nove(l)bi(n.)com

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!

However, the barrier mom created was something else! It held off amazingly well, and it was not even budging against their attacks.

These little ones had no impenetrable barriers, but I could notice an aura covering their bodies, a weaker barrier that reduced some of the damage taken.

"Alright everyone, let's do this!"

I led my friends, as we started hacking through the monsters while using the barriers protecting us to our advantage.

Zack, Luck, and Aquarina were the first ones to attack at my side. Zack's speed and movements became swifter thanks to the armor I made for him.

Meanwhile, she conjured her own Phantasmal Aura, summoning Wrathful Specters that went through the monsters and weakened their agonizing souls, making them easier targets for Zephy!

"Take this!"

My little brother was only around five years old but was already mightily slaying monsters, swinging his two swords, and fighting against the already weakened Tier 7 monsters.

SLASH! SLASH! SLAASH! SLAASH! SLAAASSHH!!

With a barrage of slashes with both of his swords, his Aura erupted, boosting his fighting power beyond his own Tier limit.

CRAAASSHH!!

The sound of a handful of Sunstone Insectoid Chimeras shattering into pieces by his sword echoed, as they became a small pile he was decided to make larger.

"You can do it Zephy!" Celica was cheering for him as if she was his cheerleader, only making my little brother blush more.

He really loved showing off in front of her... He was quite the charmer!

"Heheh, look how I slay them, Celica!" He giggled, getting a bit too overly confident. "I'll protect you from any danger- Uwaah!"

However, he quickly lost the balance of his attacks, tripping over the floor.

And then, several of the creatures rushed towards him while he was exposing himself, opening their giant jaws.

"Ahhh!"

He panicked, barely able to swing his sword before they were to reach him!

However, that's where his big sister, me, arrived.

"[Divine Dragon Blade Arts]: [Holy Dragon Ascent]!"

My Aura transformed alongside my appearance, as I gained white scales over my body, golden horns, blonde hair, and silver-colored eyes.

And accompanied with this transformation, a massive attack of my sword swinging upwards was released, the aura shaping into a mighty Holy Dragon roaring against the creatures.

BOOOOMMM!!

A mere slash released a huge explosion of holy flames, consuming them all.

"Big sis!"

"Don't be too reckless, Zephy."
