Mountain-Sized Meteor / Grayfia: Who's Talking?
At that moment, Ren suddenly remembered something very important.
"Oh no, I forgot to ask him where he hid the Annihilation Maker."
But then he thought, even if he asked, Shalba probably wouldn't tell him the truth, given his personality.
Just as Ren was about to continue searching for the Longinus's true form, Katerea walked over with alluring steps.
Katerea remained expressionless as she looked at the scattered remains of the Shalba.
I had initially felt a sliver of guilt and pity for my former colleagues, but after being betrayed, that feeling of guilt vanished completely.
If she could, she would even want to kill Shalba with her own hands.
It's a pity that I didn't have that chance.
"Shalba should be dead this time, right?"
"If no one else can revive him, he's probably dead. Anyway, you just stay here and guard the body to prevent any further trouble."
That's the tricky part about fantasy worlds.
The idea of the dead being resurrected is a mixed blessing; after all, good people can be resurrected, and so can bad people.
"Alright, I happen to know a spell that can destroy souls. Once I extract Shalba's soul, it will cause him to vanish completely."
Katerea nodded coldly.
"Okay, I have something to do, so I'll be going now."
Ren nodded.
Katerea suddenly took a deep breath, her alluring eyes fixed on Ren's retreating figure, her red tongue licking her lips, a charming smile playing on her lips.
"After this is over, I need to talk to you. Just come to my room then."
Ren's back suddenly stiffened, and he turned around sharply with a piercing look in his eyes.
It seems that even after he defeats those large magical beasts, a fierce battle still awaits him!
At the same time.
The battle for Lilith's capital continues.
The large magical beasts were moving faster and faster, after all, Grayfia and the others had limited physical strength and magical power.
Although the monster attack caused the Underworld to lift the restrictions on the use of the Phoenix Tears by frontline warriors, its effect of only restoring magic power but not physical strength still left the entire battle line in a precarious state.
In order to defend the front line which could collapse at any moment, Serafall, who had been on guard against the direction of Katerea, also joined the battle to deal with one of the monsters.
With the Demon King's intervention, the enormous monster resembling Kyrieloid was finally brought under control.
Give her some time, and defeating her shouldn't be a problem.
However, there are only four demon kings in the Underworld.
Sirzechs and Azazel travel to the Netherworld to restrain Hades, Asmodeus, and Ajuka. One of them is controlling a domestic uprising, suppressing the Old Maou Faction and the superior demon servants who betrayed their master. Ajuka is researching magic to counter the monsters, and has reached about 80% completion, so he cannot leave.
Therefore, the greatest pressure fell on Grayfia.
Despite having the support of Sirzechs's retinue, perhaps sensing Shalba's death, Gatanothor accelerated her advance, and the small magical beasts multiplied several times faster.
Gatanothor's body trembled, revealing its massive form hidden beneath its shell, with countless tiny tentacles resembling sandworms growing from beneath the shell.
The energy attack launched by demons such as Grayfia and other reinforcements was blocked by numerous tentacles and a hard shell.
Although Grayfia's power can injure her, her recovery speed is also extremely fast.
Just then, a blue flash appeared above Gatanothor's head. After a pause of less than a tenth of a second, a beam of energy, like a sharp sword, pierced through the air. The demons along the way had already avoided the attack path before Gatanothor acted, but only Grayfia stood in its way.
Accompanied by a violent roar and explosion, the cracks in the earth swept by energy stretched towards the main city of Lilith. Huge flames also shot out from the cracks, instantly destroying the dozens of layers of defensive magic erected by Grayfia that blocked the way. Only the last barrier remained, but it was also on the verge of collapse.
As someone who loves the Underworld, Grayfia naturally doesn't want anyone to destroy the country she lives in.
Back then, I betrayed the Old Maou Faction and bore the infamy because I saw the future of the Reformist Faction.
It's still the same now.
While she was struggling to hold on, Rias, Lavinia, Minagawa Natsume, and others flew forward and appeared beside Grayfia, releasing their respective abilities to block the energy beams that would hit Lilith.
As the light gradually dimmed, just when they thought they had blocked it, Gatanothor began to prepare for his next attack.
Although they still have the capacity, if this happens a few more times, the capital city of Lilith will inevitably suffer damage sooner or later.
Gatanothor let out a roar that could shake the very soul, and people seemed to sense the smugness and arrogance in it.
But just then, everyone saw a figure plummeting straight down from the Underworld towards the demon beast.
Ren held the purple cross and murmured to himself.
"I wonder if we can hold them off."
Chapter 421 The Mount Tai Meteor Drop
Ren descended from the sky.
Although he did this partly out of a desire to show off, his main reason for doing so was to deal with this enormous magical beast.
As we all know, large size means weak defense... cough cough, I misspoke. Larger size means bigger targets and slower speed, resulting in a wider area to be hit, but relatively speaking, their defense and vitality are also stronger.
Even if you manage to break through their defenses, ordinary attacks are ineffective against this type of target.
Just like most cancers in humans are like a common mole in a human in a blue whale.
This is also the main reason why the demons and their reinforcements have been unable to defeat this large monster so far.
Of course, another part of the reason is that Ren's use of special effects knowledge, combined with the Annihilation Maker, resulted in a power that was far greater than the original two.
Aside from the numerical values, Gatanothor's other abilities were almost perfectly replicated.
The purple cross shone brightly, and flames enveloped Ren' entire body like flowing water.
However, he did not activate the Balance Breaker transformation as usual, but instead maintained his current state.
Immediately afterward, as Ren fell, his energy was rapidly depleted, resulting in his body size increasing.
Normally, an adult's body wouldn't make much of a sound when falling, but as Ren's body grew to over a hundred meters tall, the sound of the wind it created became anything but simple.
Everyone on this battlefield witnessed this change.
What was originally just a small purple fire meteor transformed in an instant into a colossal giant exceeding 100 meters in size.
Grayfia, Minagawa Natsume, Lavinia, and other reinforcements from other forces on the battlefield looked in the direction of the sound and saw a humanoid figure wreathed in purple flames suddenly descend from the sky.
Although this humanoid figure is not as large as Gatanothor, its size is by no means to be underestimated; it resembles an erupting active volcano.
However, this glorious appearance surrounded by flames did not last long.
When it was less than a kilometer from the ground, the flames on the giant's body contracted into its body as if a replay had been pressed, and were replaced by a deep purple humanoid mech with a cross decoration on its chest. The metallic texture was quite bright, like a moving Great Wall of Steel.
"Huh? What's that...?"
Everyone on the battlefield, demons, demigods, and angels alike, was stunned by what they were seeing.
Such a massive object, could it be a secret weapon of some faction?!
However, they only had a moment to think.
As Gatanothor moved on the ground and headed towards Lilith, it sensed the presence above it and its tentacles quickly coiled upwards.
However, with a casual flick of his wrist, Ren severed those dozens of tentacles.
"It actually worked!"
Ren was overjoyed.
Of course, his joy did not stem from thwarting Gatanothor's attack, but from the fact that his Longinus could actually grow larger as his body size increased.
"That way, I won't have to run around naked every time I use the Heavenly Law, Earthly Form!"
At the end of the previous chapter, when Ren said "whether it can be blocked or not," he was not referring to whether he could block the attack of the monster, but rather whether the measures taken to block it using the Longinus would be able to do so after he activated the Heavenly Law, Earthly Form Transformation and became larger.
Prior to this, Ren had conducted several experiments.
However, the increase in size to only a few meters doesn't seem unusual.
This time, he became even taller than Ultraman Tiga, reaching a height of over a hundred meters.
Fortunately, the Cross of the Purple Flame Sacrificial Lord blocked it.
Otherwise, even if he successfully killed the monsters here, he would die on the spot.
And it was the kind of global death toll.
The sense of power that comes with increased size is unparalleled.
After all, that's the effect of the supernatural power of "Heavenly Law, Earthly Form".
Physical fitness, defense, strength, and speed have all been improved simultaneously. It can be said that apart from the increased hit area, there are no negative effects.
Of course, if the opponent is equally large, then there are no weaknesses.
So Ren, who fell directly from the sky and activated the Heavenly Law, Earthly Form during his fall, cleared away Gatanothor's tentacle interference and completely shattered Gatanothor's carapace with a hero's landing. The enormous force also crushed part of the monster's body, causing its accumulated attack to dissipate instantly.
Boom--!
After Ren fell to the ground.
The entire Underworld felt a powerful tremor.
If Ren hadn't deliberately paused before hitting the ground, the land within a radius of hundreds of kilometers would have been completely destroyed by his "Mount Tai Meteor Drop."
After the smoke and dust cleared, the group, covered in dust and dirt from the battle, stared in disbelief at the enormous giant before them.
First, I was shocked at how someone could become so large.
It's not uncommon for the Underworld or other forces to have the ability to grow larger, but that's either a regression to ancestral traits or simply an increase in size with only a minimal increase in physical strength.
Secondly, they were shocked that this giant had instantly annihilated the monsters they were helpless against.
Everyone carefully examined what was before them.
Because of the cross decoration on his chest, one would subconsciously think that he is Heaven being.
However, the Heaven reinforcements are also quite confused.
After all, they had not received any notification of additional support, yet the divine aura emanating from the deep purple armored giant was extremely strong.
Who exactly is it?
However, Lavinia and Asia recognized the Titans at first glance.
Both women had known Ren for a long time, and they were among the first to know that Ren had obtained the Longinus.
Moreover, they were very familiar with the aura emanating from Ren.
At this moment, they were curious as to why Ren could suddenly grow so big.
However, the situation did not give everyone much time to be curious.
After the large monster in Gatanothor's form was destroyed, the black mist that permeated the Underworld did not dissipate, but instead gathered together, eventually forming a chaotic and distorted shape.
Ren looked up and immediately recognized that it was Demonzoa's appearance.
A bizarre body stretched across the heavens and earth, its overall outline twisted yet majestic, its pitch-black form shrouded in black mist.
The jagged, ferocious horns pierced through the gloom, its face was full of sharp fangs, and its eerie red pupils stood high in the sky, looking down at the earth, revealing a cold killing intent that could destroy everything.
Its massive body exudes a profound sense of oppression, and thick, dark miasma surges around it, much like the fog itself.
Of course, Demonzoa actually has nothing to do with fog; its true form is only perceived as fog because it is completely shrouded in black fog.
It actually looks like a giant sea cucumber.
Chapter 422 Grayfia: Who's speaking?
This Demonzoa is the monster that Ren told Leonardo about.
With its original abilities, ranking first among all monsters wouldn't be a problem.
Its length of over 500 meters is more than half the length of the original.
The quality simply can't compare to the original.
He has the aura of a demon king, but he's only at the level of a demon king, slightly stronger than the demon kings of the old era.
The potential for Annihilation Maker is very high. Although Shalba used secret techniques to forcibly activate Leonardo's subspecies Balance Breaker, the foundation is still there. No matter how much he squeezes, he will never be able to create a magical beast of the transcendent level.
