Chapter 820 Luck's Powerful New Abilities
-----
Upon his amazing new transformation, Luck swiftly charged into battle, leaping off the ground and reaching the nearest giant insect with his gigantic golden claws, coated by the liquid metal-like properties of the Shapeshifting Relic: All Gaia.
CLAAAASSSH!!!
With a single, overwhelming attack utilizing both of his gigantic claws at once, Luck torn through the insect's exoskeleton, the force of the impact pushing the cricket-like monster down into the ground.
BAAAAMM…!
"Huh?! T-This is my power?" Luck quickly realized.
"Don't you remember you once defeated one of these monsters by yourself? It was the one that took down your brother." Spoke the voice of the Golden Tiger. "You were always powerful, but lacked foundation and Mana to keep your transformation and powers ongoing… And with what you've developed, alongside this new weapon, it seems you can finally show off your true potential, brat."
"SHAAAAAH!"
The giant cricket wasn't done yet, as it quickly stood back up and attacked Luck with its gigantic mandibles, attempting to catch him and cut him into two halves.
CRAAAASSSH!
However, its powerful mandibles only bite through the ground, as Luck leaped away just in time, with amazing new reflexes.
"It feels like my body has become much lighter…" Luck was amazed.
Without the System, such a fast growth would had never been possible. I am beginning to understand the true purpose of this System now, even if that God that gave it to me didn't intend it to have such purpose.
And even when the other gods seem unaware of its existence… This System and my Mana, they might bring a rapid change in this world, and help the weak become much stronger faster than ever before.
"SHYAAAH!"
The giant insect quickly tried to catch Luck while in midair with its mandibles, leaping into the skies towards him.
However, Luck smiled defiantly, his eyes glowing gold with mighty divine beast energy, as he gathered Mana into his claws, and then…
"[Divine Claw Arts]: [Savage Beast Charge]!!!"
FLAAAASH!
His body glowed with the bright golden aura of the Golden Tiger Divine Beast Spirit, as he descended towards the bug's open mandibles, piercing through its mouth, towards the stomach, and then appearing all the way down, piercing the beast's abdomen.
CRAAAAAAAASSSSH!!!
Landing on the floor, he unleashed a powerful shockwave, which quickly hurt all other insects in the vicinity.
"GRYYYEEEHH…!"
Meanwhile, the gigantic cricket attacking him gave its last scream before dying on the spot, falling over the floor and creating a small tremor…
BAAAAMM…!
"I can finally take them down…" Luck smiled. "I DID IT! FINALLY! HAHAHAHAAA!"
For some reason, despite the situation, Luck celebrated, laughed, and raised his arms in happiness. He knew that he would had never been able to reach this point without the help of so many good people that appeared on his life. I could tell on his grateful smile.
"I'll do it, Sylphy, everyone! I'll fight… I will no longer run away!"
Luck's eyes shone with a fiery gaze, as his entire body erupted with divine beast energy. His Aura shaping into the ferocious head of the Golden Tiger, roaring mightily.
"[Divine Beast Magic]: [Golden Tiger's Mighty Roar]!"
"ROOOOOAARRR!"
TRUUUUMMM…!
A gigantic shockwave of pure power surged from within this mighty roar, the surrounding bugs, which were now over twenty and that kept coming from the nearby hole, suddenly felt paralyzed!
Ding!
[System User: Luck] has utilized the [Golden Tiger's Mighty Roar] Divine Beast Magic Spell!]
[All surrounding enemies will fall into a state of [Temporary Paralysis] and [Fear], having all their Stats lowed by -25% for the next 5 Minutes.]
"Amazing!" I had to praise him. "It seems that our Luck's no longer a pushover!"
"That's nice." Aquarina smiled. "He better start pulling his own weight!"
Aquaria ran alongside me, as we both rushed across many monsters at once, utilizing our weapons to slash them and pierce them apart. Most of these monsters were merely Tier 7 Rank 1, their sizes were big and mighty, but their amount of total power was laughable compared to the Miasmic Swamp Bosses.
"[Shadow Dagger Arts]: [Abyssal Knife Dance]!"
Aquarina imbued her entire body with her shadows, similarly to her father's fighting style, as she danced in midair, leaping from head-to-head while storms of shadows erupted from her spinning body. Her knives cutting down the monsters while she spun wondrously.
She was always so majestic when she took down foes…
SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! CLAAASH!
"GRUOOOHH…!"
"GRYYYEEH…"
"SHYAAAH…!"
Thanks to Luck's spell that paralyzed and weakened the monsters, Aquarina's attacks landed all the time, slaying more than just a couple of monsters! She cleared almost half of the surrounding monsters.
And she wasn't half done either…
"[Ocean Knife Arts]: [Oceanic Wave]!"
Aquarina hit the floor with all her might while swinging her two knives, now enchanted with her Heavenly Ocean Ruler Skill abilities, an eruption of oceanic water attribute aura surged from within, like an enormous, all-consuming wave, and it quickly took down several more monsters at once.
SPLAAAAAASSSSH!!!
The ocean wave wasn't just that though, highly pressurized and with countless knife-like ends, it not only crushed them to the ground, but covered them into slicing wounds until they ended being torn to shreds!
At the same time as she was doing that, I was covering the other area with my blazing attacks, burning, and slicing apart everything on my path. Any attacks directed at me were mostly easily blocked by my amazing new armor.
At this point, it was overkill.
"Phew… I guess we've cleared this area." Aquarina sighed in relief, cleaning her sweat, and smiling back at me. "Our parents are taking care of the Boss, should we go look for the crystal summoning these guys?"
"Crystal?" Wondered Luck, as he intercepted two monster attacks and then cut their heads down with his enormous claws.
"We'll explain the details later. But pretty much all these attacks happen because a special crystal helps them open a portal, usually named Dungeon Breaks, connecting to a dungeon where the monsters come out of it." Explained Zack, summoning storms, and lightning from his axe blows, devastating his surroundings.
"S-So that's how they just teleport here…" Luck was surprised. "Hm? I can smell something, a strong amount of mana and miasma. Down there… Follow me!"
Luck quickly decided to lead us to the Dimensional Crystal.
