LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 845: Unhinged
-----
It was one of Celica's new Talents, the power of Demonic Puppet Creation, aside from Phantasmal Magic, which were awakened by Sylphy's Heroic Seed Skill. And it was much more than just making the same puppet golems she always made.
"[Demonic Puppet Creation]"
FLAAAAAAASH!
Both the Dragon and the Rabbit golems bodies melded together in a split of a second, suddenly catching three of the huge bugs they were tanking the hits from, merging their bodies with them even as the monsters groaned unwillingly.
It was a strange and even bizarre power that she had awakened, something that only a few of the strongest Demons in the Demon Continent could create… The ability to make powerful underlings.
FLUOSH!
The fusion quickly created a different, strange looking creature, resembling a huge humanoid lizard, with clothes resembling those of a jester, red, purple, and white…
"GRYEHEHEHEH…"
It emanated a deadly, demonic energy from within, so powerful that it could even be considered as strong as a Tier 8 monster! This clown-like lizardman creature, amazed Celica.
"Looks like a clown…" She giggled a bit. "I'll name you Mister Jester! Please, can you help us break through?"
"GRYEHEHEHEHEEE!"
The huge Mister Jester nodded, as tall as twenty meters, the huge monster rushed forward, swinging his gigantic claws against the monsters!
CRAAASH! CRAAASH! CRAAAASH!
The insects flew into the skies, their bodies quickly were covered in terrific wounds, some of their legs were torn off. And that wasn't all, as the jester suddenly summoned colorful cards from its hands, throwing them by the dozens at the insects!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOOM!!!
Weakened already, a few insects finally died! Celica was surprised they were making progress, but with a single one, it wouldn't be completely possible yet.
"Mister Teddy, time for you to transform as well." Celica said, stepping down and quickly making him gather the corpses of the insects. "Now! [Demonic Puppet Creation]!"
FLAAAASH!
The same strange and bizarre process happened, where her golem melt into sludge and merged with the "sacrifices", becoming something new and monstrous, stronger than ever, and even more "alive" than before.
FLUOSH!
It was at least thirty meters big, muscular, covered on red and white fur, with big, colorful horns, and sharp fangs and feral eyes…
It was Mister Teddy who had suddenly evolved into an even stronger Demonic Puppet! Overflowing with as much power as Mister Jester, but with even more physical might, he stepped forwards to battle…
"GROOOOOAAARRRRGHH!"
With his huge, massive metallic black claws, mister teddy charged forwards, Mister Jester barely evaded his crazed charge as several dozens of insects were pushed down, killed one by one with Mister Jester's assistance!
CRASH! CRASH! CRASH! CRASH! CRAAASH!
"M-Mister Teddy, so strong!" Celica was amazed.
Her childhood friend had become so strong now that he was protecting her from the baddies! However, it wasn't as if she couldn't fight by herself…
"SHAAAAAH!!!"
A few of the insects that sneaked out reached her, rushing towards Celica and trying to devour her! However, before they could hit her, an invisible barrier made out of almost a hundred demonic insectoid souls stopped them.
CRAAAASH!
"GRUUHHH?!"
"SHYAAAARGH!"
"GRIEEEHH…!"
Not only the barrier blocked damage, but it caused damage against them, the monsters felt as if their very souls were sucked out of their Mana a little bit, and even their vitality was drained.
"Phew, it was good that I set up a [Demonic Phantasmal Barrier] ahead of time!" Celica sighed in relief. "I-I'm not strong physically, but I'll do my best… Like this, maybe? [Phantom Hands]"
FLUOOOSH!
The hundreds of souls she had captured beforehand when her friends killed many monsters on their way here shapeshifted, generating countless of phantasmal hands that grabbed the monsters and dragged them closer to her barrier.
Slowly, she started to drain away their life and mana, until the monsters dried out and stopped moving… Right after that, she pointed her hands at her Demonic Puppets, filling them up with Mana once more.
"[Mana Transfer]!"
FLUOOOSH!
With enough mana, both Mister Jester and the Super Mister Teddy kept attacking and tanking the army of monsters, fiercely fighting alongside their master for survival!
"I think… I'm handling things a bit fine." Celica smiled a bit, finding more strength on herself than she imagined. "It's all thanks to Sylphy that awakened my Talents… I'll make sure to use this power to find everyone else too!"
…
BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM!
CLAASH! CLAASH! CLAASH!
Several explosions of powerful strikes reached dozens of insectoid demonic monsters at once, as Aquarina and Zack, for whatever reason, found themselves together in the same room.
Perhaps some sort of mistake by Arachne, after all she wasn't perfect, and was an imperfect being just like them… And most likely because she looked down on them.
But now, she would soon begin to regret putting these two monsters together.
"SHAAAAAHHH!!!"
A huge Chimeric Insectoid Monsters emanating the power of a Tier 8 Monster rushed forwards, only for Zack to step forwards, his two axes overflowing with tempestuous auras as his spirit imbued even more power into him…
"[Divine Battle Axe Arts]: [Mountain Splitting Axe Strike]!!! [Tempest Magic]: [Heaven's Lightning]!!!"
Combining his massively powerful physical strike with destructive lightning magic, Zack's attacks hit the Tier 8 monster's head, crushing it into the ground!
BAAAAAAAAAMMMM…!
"GRUOOHHH…!"
The beast struggled to move, really damaged, but pushed him away, as it fired several beams of darkness and miasma against him!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Swinging his axes he simply intercepted them and redirected the attacks elsewhere almost masterfully! However, as he was about to try taking it down now, an explosion of ice and water fell from above!
"[Divine Poseidon's Frost Dragon Trident]!"
"ROOOOAARRR!"
Aquarina's combination of her Spirits and her unique Divine Skills created a huge trident made of ice in the shape of a roaring dragon, hitting the chimeric insect beast's head!
CRAAAAAAASSSSH!!!
And completely freezing it before shattering the head into pieces!
Crack… crack…!
CRAAASH!
"Done." Aquarina sighed in relief.
"Hey! I was going to take that down!" Zack complained.
"Geez, aren't you more worried about Mist?! We have to find a way out of this damn place!" Aquarina said.
"I know! Do you have to scream at me?! I'm really worried about her!" Zack groaned angrily.
The two glanced at one another hatefully… Whenever Sylphy wasn't around, those two became unhinged.
