Chapter 451 Intense Battle
A gigantic arm made of stone and dirt hit the Ghostly Bear Tyrant\'s head and threw the beast into the ground with a single and powerful hit. The enormous Earth Spirit Arm then began hitting the surrounding Hollows, sending several of them flying into the air.
"GRAAAAH! GRUOOHH…"
The bear quickly began standing up again, as Rita jumped over it and pointed her gun at it.
"Eat lead, bitch!"
BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!
Rita activated both the [Elemental Bullet] and the [Bullet Time] Abilities of Onyx, as countless Elemental Bullets imbued with her Familiar Whitey\'s Holy Light Magic began piercing the Bear\'s body and face.
"GRAAAAHH…! GRUOOOHHHH…!"
But that wasn\'t enough.
FLUOOOOOOSH!
A massive storm of darkness and phantasmal flames surged from within the Ghostly Bear Tyrant, throwing us away, the enormous beast glaring at us furiously. It was bleeding all over yet it seemed to have grown stronger from that!
"Unnngggh…" Rita slowly stood up, pointing her gun at the bear. "FUCK YOU!"
BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!
"GRAAAAAHHH…!"
The bear started charging at her while taking on all the damage, a red-colored phantasmal flame slowly began surging from within its body, the bear\'s eyes shone bright red in utter fury.
"RITA!"
I quickly ran towards her, grabbing my crazy and reckless friend and then taking out the broom from my Inventory, flying right above the bear\'s claws before they hit where Rita was a second ago!
BAAAAAM!
"Mark!"
"On it!"
Mark quickly brought out two enormous Totems flaring with flames, as he placed them in the ground with his flames, while his knife began charging large quantities of his Mana.
"[Totem Spirit\'s Infernal Chains]!"
FLAAAAASH!
The two totems resembling a bird and a tiger unleashing roars of animals, as flames surged from within them and shaped themselves into chains, wrapping around the furious bear.
"[Lesser Dragon Flames]! [Double Slash]!"
Mark activated his dagger\'s skills as he unleashed a draconic flame in the shape of two powerful slashing attacks, slicing through the bear\'s entire body countless times.
"GRAAAAAHHH!"
However, the bear had a monstrous resilience, breaking apart his chains and then slamming him into the ground with a single slash of his claws.
CLAAAASH!
"AAGGH…!"
Mark suddenly vomited a mouthful of blood as he looked at the bear furiously looking at him. His gigantic phantasmal flames-imbued claws began unleashing countless attacks against him.
"[Blazing Armor]! [Blazing Fortress]!"
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLAAASH!
Mark amazingly tanked the hits by generating an armor made of flames and then a fortress of fire, which was being destroyed by the bears blows constantly.
"OOOOHHH!"
Meanwhile, five flying Hollows in the shape of birds reached us, trying to take a bite on our Mana while we were distracted.
"Fuck off you bastards! Whitey! [Purifying Light]!"
"CHUUUU!"
The little white rat unleashed a bright shine of white light, hurting and weakening the Hollows, as their bodies started to disappear slowly due to being exposed to this holy light.
"UOOOOHHHHH…!"
"GRAAAAHHH!"
"TOO BRIGHT! IT HURTSSSS….!"
"Take this!" I roared, as I imbued Mana into my free hand and fused it with three tiny Nature Spirits that were sticking to me, quickly transforming my arm into a gigantic wooden arm, as I slammed the Hollows with a single fist!
BAAAAAAMMMM!!!!
SPLAAAT!
They all exploded into pieces and dropped their Hollow Crystals, dying on the spot.
Meanwhile, Mark was still tanking the Ghostly Bear Tyrant, but struggling to deal any damage.
"Rita, shoot that thing\'s eyes!" I quickly leaped forward, right over the Bear\'s head while it was being distracted.
"Got it!" Rita nodded, her aim improved after getting many equipment items that improved her DEX.
BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!
Five bullets were shoot but only two landed in the eyes, the others ended hitting the bear\'s jaws and chest.
"GRUOOOHHHH…!"
Having lost its sight, I quickly reached the bear\'s head using the Wind Spirit\'s assistance through the [Wind Spirit Leap] Spell, and pointing my shovel into the bear\'s head.
"This better works…! [Spiritual Explosion]!"
BOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMM!!!!
The shovel absorbed over a hundred MP, as an enormous explosive impact hit the bear\'s head, it was pure spiritual power exploding at its strongest possible level, the bear couldn\'t resist it, as its skull shattered and the whole head exploded into pieces.
CLAAASH!
And I landed rather harshly over Mark.
"Ouch…! Ah, Elayne… W-Well done…" He sighed.
"Mark! Are you hurt?" I asked, quickly healing him.
"I am fine, but we\'re far from over." His sharp eyes glanced around our surroundings when he got so serious he always looked so handsome.
"Shit, more Hollows?!" Rita panicked as we saw a dozen more Hollows show up from the woods.
"Well, that\'s good, that\'s exactly why we came here, our Mana will attract them so we can get to kill them all." The Great Spirit said evilly. "Now, don\'t falter and push forwards!"
"OOOHHHH! MANAAAA!"
"MAGIC… MANA!!!"
"FOOD… STARVING!"
"GRAAAAHHHH!!!"
I guess this was the perfect time to test my "army"! I quickly took out several seeds from my Inventory and threw them into the ground.
"[Plant Growth Acceleration]!"
FLAAAASH!
The seeds began glowing brightly, as they started to germinate and turn into plants, roots, branches, fruits, leaves. Everything grew and took shape. In mere seconds, a dozen walking vegetables and fruits with legs and arms showed up, with adorable faces at that, but fierce glares.
"GO!" I ordered my plant minions, as they quickly created weapons made out of their own bodies and started fighting the Hollows, piercing their bodies and attacking them with the fierceness of nature.
CLASH! CLASH! BOOOOM! CRAAASH! CLAAASH!
"Now that we\'ve got their help, let\'s aid them!" I said.
"Alright!" Mark nodded.
"Woah, this is… not what I expected, but fine, it works!" Rita laughed.
We continued fighting the Hollows incessantly. We were covered in wounds, sweating all over, and our bodies seemed to be barely managing to stand up. We were drinking Mana Potions constantly while fighting. Gritting our teeth and bearing with the exhaustion had already become a norm for us.
It seemed endless, but once a few hours passed, we have finally finished. Hundreds of Hollow Crystals were lying around everywhere, alongside a few more monster corpses.
