Chapter 1995: Chapter 1995. Layers of Distraction



The ones closest to Master was John's group, but they couldn't get close to him. Master was protected by his legion of demons, zombies, and summons. They couldn't even determine his exact position when the second sun appeared above them and started burning them with heat. Much less defeating Master to complete their objective, they needed to attack Master to stop him from sustaining the second sun. Or else, that sun would burn them to death.

It was easier said than done. Master was already a summoner who could summon more minions than most before he became a God. After he became one, his hacking gave him even more non-standard summoning spells. Combined with the legion he called using the Mass Recall Plate, the overwhelming number of enemies made approaching Master seem impossible.

The one that continued to brute force its way through was the Atomic Hydra. Nothing seemed able to stop its advance. Not until one of Master's summons barred its way. This summon was not a new one, but one he already showed during the past battle in Hydrurond.

The one that engaged the Atomic Hydra was the Divine Earth Titan. The earth titan was even more powerful than when Master summoned it to break the wall of Messephyria. It was now a level 99 eternal grade.

Both the Atomic Hydra and the Divine Earth Titan had the same level and grade. When the two collided, it was the Atomic Hydra that recoiled from the impact. In terms of raw strength, the Divine Earth Titan was stronger.

The Atomic Hydra's three heads roared with fury. This was the first time it encountered an enemy whose strength was higher than it. It refused to accept defeat. It flapped its wings and charged back at the Divine Earth Titan.

The Divine Earth Titan was not originally a being that could fly. On its back was a pair of wings made of light. The wings came from a spell. Master cast Angelic Wings, which gave a target the ability to fly.

Angelic Wings was a spell with six runes. Any spellcaster who possessed Dispel or Cancel Magic could theoretically cast the spell to take out the Divine Earth Titan's ability to fly. John already did but failed. This was because an intelligence modifier was calculated to determine the success rate. No one could rival Master's intelligence stat. Even after John empowered his spell using mana manipulation, he still failed to dispel the angelic wings on the Divine Earth Titan.

Fiery energy burst from the Atomic Hydra's claws. The right one was silver, and the other one was dark purple. This soul and chaos-infused fist increased the Atomic Hydra's damage output and impact strength. The fiery claw collided again with the stone fist. This time, the two seemed equally strong.

The draw didn't last, though. Layers of rock materialized and merged with the Divine Earth Titan's stone fists, enlarging them to a bizarre proportion. When the enlarged stone fist punched again, the Atomic Hydra recoiled an even longer distance than before.Upstodatee from n(0)/ve/lbIn/.(co/m

The healing effect benefiting Jack's side was Will's music. One that Chris gave him. The damaging effect on Master's force came from Elayne's Melody of Death, who will linked with. For the last slot, Will linked with one of the Council of Elpo's members who possessed the Play Music skill. This member's music boosted allies' attributes. The boosted attributes allowed their force to better contest the enemies buffed by the Demonic Contract.

The three copied Master's strategy. Since their music could affect the entire battlefield, they retreated to where they were most protected and played their music from there. If enemies wanted to stop their music, they had to charge through many obstacles.

With the healing, damage, and stat boost the music provided, Jack's force could better endure under the heat bombardment from the second sun. Even so, this was only a delay. The second sun dealt more damage. To make it worse, the fire damage it dispensed increased with time. They still needed to stop Master from maintaining the spell if they wanted a chance to win

this battle.

Everyone was seemingly occupied by the enemies without making progress in approaching Master. That was until a powerful beam of light crashed through the horde of Master's minions. Following this beam, a huge golden dragon charged through.

This golden dragon was the gold dragon from Jack's bloodline. Following the dragon's charge was one of Jack's clones. This clone was encased in a burning dark purple sphere, the Sphere of Tiamat. No enemies could stop his forceful charge. The gold dragon further supported Jack by casting a spell that fired numerous starlights that struck the enemies in Jack's path.

Jack's clone with the gold dragon was John's second layer of distraction. While John acted as a distraction for the advance of Badass' archdemon lord, the archdemon lord turned into a distraction for Jack's advance after it was discovered.

With Jack's forceful charge, he finally pierced through the enemy's layered defense. He saw Master then. Master had one arm holding his staff high to sustain the second sun. His other arm was holding the Book of the Damned, which showed uncountable thin crimson threads

coming out of the book.

The two locked eyes. Their real bodies were fighting elsewhere. But here, their clones were going to duke it out as well.

Master narrowed his eyes. He swore he would defeat his nemesis on both fronts!
