Chapter 79: The Last Battle of Sword
"I'm fine!"
Eric gritted his teeth, enduring and facing the goddess's power head-on, tensed his entire body, and the arm wielding the amulet trembled violently from the pain and the divine power's aftershocks.
His muscles screamed in protest, but he forced himself to remain standing.
With another goddess's attacks, the amulet in his hand shattered completely after deflecting the goddess's attack, turning into golden powder that scattered with the wind.
Even the magical artefacts treasured by the Dwarves could withstand no more than two attacks from a god.
It wasn't even a true defence, just a deflection of the attack.
"Kurtz, find a way to counterattack!"
Eric knew Kurtz wasn't someone who would willingly take a beating, so he needed to buy him time. His voice carried a desperate edge; he could feel the goddess gathering power for another strike.
Even if it cost him his life, he had to buy the other party enough time! The thought no longer terrified him; it steadied him.
Kurtz seized the precious time the other party bought, "Somo, give me the Holy Sword!"
The Dwarf immediately understood, roaring, and used all his strength to throw the heavy el's light towards Kurtz.
There was no hesitation.
The Holy Sword's own weight prevented Kurtz from catching it immediately; the blade directly plunged into the rock, but he immediately gripped the hilt and poured in his magic power.
He held both Holy Swords in his hands, raising them high.
The Holy Swords crossed, unleashing an energy fluctuation unlike anything before.
Neither Orger nor el's light had much magic power left; what he was doing was completely consuming the Holy Swords' foundational strength.
But Kurtz had no choice.
The two Holy Sword powers of different attributes collided with a roar.
Finally, Orger acted as the main body, absorbing all of El's light's power.
The Holy Sword erupted with a surge of energy far greater than before, forming a violent energy vortex around Kurtz, forcing everyone to steady themselves quickly!
"Come on! Double Release!!"
Kurtz roared, transforming even his life force into the purest magic power, released by the two Holy Swords. He felt something fundamental drain from his very core, years of his life burning away like kindling in a furnace.
He swung it down fiercely towards the high and mighty god!
A massive azure sword qi roared out, and spatial cracks, identical to those that appeared during the goddess's arrival, even appeared around the sword qi.
For the first time, a faint emotion called "surprise" appeared on the goddess's cold face.
But that was all.
It was like a small insect launching what it believed to be a fatal strike at you, yet in your eyes, it was merely a useless act before its demise.
The goddess still wore the same disdainful expression as if facing an ant, casually raising her hand to block; she believed such an attack could not harm her body, which was composed of divine power.
However, Orger's power still garnered a slight bit of her attention.
A divine power barrier, capable of collapsing space, instantly condensed in her palm, appearing before the goddess.
These ants should be proud that they made her use a defensive spell.
However, the moment the blue sword aura touched the Divine Barrier—
The barrier shattered with a boom!
Rip!
A subtle yet clear tearing sound rang out.
The goddess's arm, composed of pure divine power, was actually cut open by this sword qi, leaving a deep gash!
The Divine Barrier did not block the attack as she wished; instead, it instantly ruptured during the assault.
One drop, two drops…
Divine blood, shimmering with dazzling light and containing terrifying energy, dripped from the wound like molten steel.
Blood formed from the purest divine power fell to the earth, like a miniature nuclear explosion; the soil exploded into a deep pit, and rocks silently dissolved.
The power of a god was something that could not be absorbed or accepted by this world.
If a god's blood were to spill onto the earth before their demise, it would be a catastrophic disaster for all living beings on the continent.
Like countless meteorites colliding, a rain of meteors would destroy all life on the surface.
But what flowed from the goddess at this moment was not true divine blood, so it naturally did not possess such destructive power.
At the same time, the goddess's expression drastically changed.
Because just outside the world, her true body was also injured!
One must know that she was not truly descending at this moment, merely using vast divine power for a brief projection.
But even so, her true body was still injured!
"This is impossible!!"
The goddess's eternally unchanging cold voice showed violent fluctuations for the first time.
Her projected body trembled violently, and further away, on her actual body outside the world, which mortals could not perceive, the same wound starkly appeared!
Orger's power was truly terrifying.
Even if she was only a mental projection, it could still cross billions of miles and harm her real body!
And because of this impact, her absolute suppression of another consciousness within her body was also shaken!
She could feel it.
The soul that should have been tightly suppressed by her, never to appear again, was now struggling violently.
The previous attack contained the other party's own power, and by leveraging this power, the other party's consciousness had actually awakened!
This was something she absolutely could not allow!
The goddess's sacred face became distorted with fury.
In an instant, dozens of energy beams, thicker and more violent than before, tore through space, pouring down towards Kurtz and all the ants who dared to desecrate divine majesty!
The shadow of death instantly enveloped everyone!
Kurtz did not dare to be careless, immediately mobilising the remaining power of Orger and el's light to construct the final defensive barrier in front of him.
But upon seeing Serie and the others also within the range of the opponent's attack, he immediately threw his light over.
El's light contained a portion of Orger's power, and Serie could use this power to resist the god's attack.
Moreover, the god's attack focus was on him, and the other people did not face many destructive light beams.
He hadn't expected that having Duller add the ability to store magic power to el's light would actually come in handy again.
Serie activated her magic power, releasing a magic barrier.
With the power of Orger and el's light, she managed to withstand the god's attack this time.
But it was only temporary.
The goddess's attacks grew more violent!
Crack…
Crack, crack, crack…
Heartbreaking, cracking sounds rang out densely.
It was el's light.
The continuous battles and crude magic power infusion made this Holy Sword unable to bear it any longer, not to mention that it was now facing a god's attack.
Cracks on the sword's body began to spread like a spider web!
Serie noticed this and wanted to retrieve el's light, but the goddess's next wave of attacks arrived again. Her heart clenched as she watched the legendary blade, humanity's hope made manifest, beginning to fracture in her hands.
"I'm sorry!"
After silently apologising to Kurtz and this Holy Sword in her heart, Serie used it to unleash one last magic barrier.
The sword's body let out a mournful cry, and the clear sword light instantly extinguished!
Crash!
El's light, which carried the future ideals and hopes of humanity, was shattered entirely into three dull metal fragments in the desperate gaze of everyone.
"No—!"
Kurtz's cry tore from his throat. The sight hit him hard.
The last few destructive light beams tore through the barrier Orger barely maintained, like the Grim Reaper's scythe, aiming directly for Kurtz's heart and head!
