Chapter 150 Survivors [3] - Zeus' Blessing



[Terraign]

[World of Darkness]

Despite the words coming out of his mouth being foreign to everyone in the area, it felt like they understood them. After all, no matter what language one spoke in, terraign was a universal word. Not many knew what it meant and its implications, but those who did widened their eyes in horror.

However, even though the rest had never heard the word before since most humans used the word 'true domain' instead, they could feel the power behind the world, as if the monster before them had uttered an incantation that would have made the universe itself churn.

Suddenly, darkness expanded out from Cthulhu while the world around him began to warp.

It was as if everyone was being sent into another dimension, and before they could react to the sudden change, they found themselves in a dark world.

The world wasn't like the shadow realm of shadow users... Instead, it looked like an actual realm with mountains and even castles and kingdoms in the distance.

A flood of darkness washed over the entire landscape, making it extremely dark; however, despite it seeming like it was a dark and silent desert, those who had mana eye knew otherwise.

They looked around, spotting several creatures with mana flowing out of them. They were monsters straight of the nightmares of children and humans that looked like disfigured demons made out of bones.

Colossal creatures could be seen walking in the distance. They were enormous, looking at high as skyscrapers while having an aura that would rival any diamond stage second commandment. Of course, despite being so powerful, their power was capped at the diamond stage. Even though Cthulhu was at the amethyst stage now, his power rivaled that of a knight at the golden body stage.

However, now that he was inside his own domain, his power had skyrocketed.

While some started at Cthulhu in terror, others looked at him with annoyance and discontent.

*ROAAAR*

*Roar* *Roar* *Roar* *Roar* *Roar* *Roar* *Roar* *Roar*

A symphony of roars came out of the mouths of every monster in the terraign, causing some to close their ears in pain while the rest simply gritted their teeth.

*Roar* *Roar* *Roar* *Roar* *Roar* *Roar* *Roar* *Roar*

Then the undead began to roar, yet instead of sounding like the growl of demons, they created a collective howl.

[Deathly Howl + Demonic Roar]

[Deathly Roar]

The howls had stricken the fear of god in every single person below the 4th commandment.

At that moment, a beam of pure destruction shot through the enemy lines, killing hundreds before anyone could even react.

All of this happened in less than a second, but to everyone experiencing it, it felt like hours had passed.

"ATTACK!" Ruben roared with so much power that every single monster within a 2-meter-thick line in front of him instantly died.

However, a moment later, they quickly reformed.

"The domain is stealing the souls of our dead and adding to his power!" The necromancer shouted with fear in her eyes.

"Sh*t!" Benjamin cursed under his breath and shot forward, not forgetting to give a slight nod to Ruben before leaving.

"Olivia. Protect the instructors and the weaker soldiers from any incoming attacks. You're in the fourth commandment so that shouldn't be too hard for you. Noah, you come with me. We're going to attack Cthulhu and try to weaken it. Master Glade will use his ability to end Cthulhu before he can get too powerful." He explained, making the two nod.

Ruben and Noah shot toward Cthulhu, while Olivia shot toward the soldiers and stood in front of them with her hands drawn back.

Shooting through the air, all the monsters in the way of Noah were either sliced into a million pieces or charred beyond recognition.

Lightning could be seen coming out of his body as hundreds if not thousands of bright blue runes shone on his body, making him look like some of those maniacs who tattoo their entire bodies for some odd reason.

On the other hand, Ruben was so far that he simply blitzed past all the monsters, turning them into a paste by simply shooting past them, the pressure for his movements being too much for their weak little bodies to handle.

When Ruben appeared before one of the larger monsters, he didn't even bother stopping. He simply reeled his arm back and let out a devastating punch that split the sea of shadows that flooded the land below.

The air pressure shot right toward Cthulhu, appearing before him and completely blowing his arm off. Yet, a second later, a black and green energy shone from the torn arm, destroying the fallen one while quickly creating another one.

'This is bad.' Cthulhu thought to himself as the pain from his arm subsided.

He could see that he was fighting a losing fight. There were two initial 5th commandments in the enemy force, and despite the power of his terraign dropping their power down to the initial stages of the 4th commandment, that was still far too strong for him to handle on his own.

However, the good thing was that the stronger he got, the weaker they did. The terraign sucked the life force and mana out of living beings, while completely consuming dead ones and turning them into undead.

It was one reason why Olivia struggled to protect the weaker soldier. Every single one of the soldiers that had died had turned into undead zombies, and every time she killed them, they would absorb some of the shadows covering the terraign and revive themselves once more.

However, even though they were far too weak to actually do any damage to her or the barrier of ice that she had created around the humans, she quickly realized that she was also fighting a losing battle.

She could feel her mana slowly being siphoned, and at the same time, she could also feel her commandment temporarily being dropped every time Cthulhu got stronger.

At the same time, as Cthulhu gained strength, so did his undead. They were constantly absorbing the flood of darkness, and their power increased by a good portion every time they died.

That's why, when she saw no other way out of the situation, she clapped her hands and used her strongest ability.

[Absolute Zero]

Every undead in front of her froze. Hell, to those around her, it felt like time had frozen despite them not being affected by the ability.

Absolute zero was a state of freezing that quite literally meant that the atoms themselves would stop vibrating.

If there was any moisture in the air, the world of darkness would have turned into a snowy tundra, but since the only moisture was the blood of those who had died, the undead simply froze place as their blood-created icicles off their bodies.

"We can't kill the monsters in this realm, so use everything you can to break through the realm and find a way to get out of here." Olivia commanded, making the soldiers who were looking at her in awe quickly nod their head and run to the borders of the terriagn

Others tried to use their ships to find a crack in space to warp out of place, yet as if this realm was completely isolated from the one outside, they couldn't find a single spatial fracture. At best, their ships only detected that they were in some kind of pocket dimension, and the weakness of this dimension was its borders of it.

Yet, at that moment, all the soldiers also realized something else. The borders weren't at the edge of the terraign, since the terriagn quite literally had no idea.

The border was in the sky and deep underground.

On the other side of the battle, Noah channeled an enormous amount of mana into his blade, and with a single slash, he created an arch so large and powerful that even Cthulhu thought of it as a threat that needed to be destroyed before it reached him.

While Noah wasn't as strong as Ruben or Benjamin, he was still a force to be reckoned with.

As the arch neared Cthulhu, the monstrous giant opened his mouth and began to charge a ball of pure darkness in his mouth, yet before he could release it, something happened.

*FWHOOM*

The wind blew in every direction as even Benjamin and Ruben looked back, feeling a tremendous amount of mana gather around Noah.

'Wait... Why can't I absorb his mana anymore?!' Cthulhu widened his eyes in shock, and once he looked into Noah's eyes, he quickly understood something and shivered.

'Is he that void walker's father... Wait, no. He's not a void walker, so how is this- UGH!' Cthulhu reeled over as the enormous arch sliced him across his torso, from his right shoulder to his left hip, opening up a cut so deep and wide that one could see his guts and organs almost fall out of his body.

[You have received Zues' blessing]

Those words echoed within Noah's mind as a gigantic lightning figure formed around him, creating a giant version of himself that rivaled the size of Cthulhu.

'Wait... Is that Zeus' energy signature?! Did I just find myself against a family of monsters?!'
