Chapter 251 Resurrection from the dead, Warcraft Paradise?
Inside the campus, the clash of metal immediately ceased, and the din of the sports festival was interrupted by a jarring noise.
Without warning, a chilling white mist surged from outside the alternate dimension, engulfing the empty modern street and corroding everything in sight.
Arthur, rope in hand, and Reinhardt, both instinctively lowered their swords and gazed at the sky.
Everyone present exchanged glances, not understanding why the two, who had been locked in a struggle, would suddenly stop.
The next moment, the spreading mist poured into the school gate, and a gigantic beast's shadow moved within the fog, its posture like a deep-sea leviathan swimming, soaring through the air, and poking its head out from the dense mist.
Natsuki Subaru's face turned pale: "Hey! Isn't that…"
The beast's pupils were comparable to buildings, slowly rotating, its cold gaze precisely locking onto the terrified and speechless Natsuki Subaru.
A beast's roar, shaking the atmosphere, then resounded!
A shockwave, like a typhoon passing through, rippled outwards, stirring up layers of waves and causing the mist to spread explosively!
Facing this sudden natural disaster, everyone braced against the strong winds, struggling to maintain their footing.
Just then, two cold blades tore through the air currents, surging against the mist!
Pfft!
The sound of flesh being torn apart suddenly rang out!
The colossal beast flying through the air let out an unbearable shriek, its massive body plummeting like a cloud, smashing heavily onto the ground!
Amidst the roar of the earth, the surrounding bedrock immediately caved in and fractured, and shattered rocks and gravel flew in all directions like a hail of bullets!
The swirling storm dispersed the dense fog, and the true face of the colossal beast was finally revealed to everyone.
It was over fifty meters long, with white, barb-like fur growing all over its body, and concave, gill-like structures on its head and flanks that were constantly opening and closing.
Arthur, stepping on the colossal beast and restraining its movements, shook off the blood stained on durandal and looked at Reinhardt, who had acted with him.
"Subaru clearly recognizes this monster, and you should also know its origin, right?"
After carefully confirming the authenticity of the White Whale, Reinhardt nodded with a puzzled expression.
"This magical beast is called the White Whale, known as the 'Mist Beast' in my world, an ominous embodiment that randomly roams various corners of the world. However…"
Arthur asked, "However what?"
Reinhardt tightened his grip on his sword hilt, directed a heavy sword pressure at the still-futilely struggling White Whale, and said in a solemn voice.
"It died a long time ago. Moreover, it was Subaru and his companions who organized people to hunt it down."
Arthur lifted his foot and ground it against the half-dead White Whale beneath him. The pained magical beast rotated its malevolent eyes, staring intently at the human so close to it.
"There's nothing strange about it; I recently killed an enemy that self-destructed until there was nothing left."
Before he finished speaking, an extremely suppressed magical power erupted from within the White Whale's body!
Its scales suddenly writhed, like pores opening simultaneously, bursting forth with a liquid-like, dense mist that completely enveloped itself!
The tide-like mist instantly swallowed the two, but what followed was not the sound of flesh dissolving, but a grating metallic friction!
The next second, blood mist splattered!
Amidst the White Whale's incomparably shrill cries, the ferocious beast's shadow split into three, breaking free from the two's restraint, and soared into the sky!
[Super-Tier Magic: Heaven's Fall!]
In an instant, the sky above the academy was stripped of all color, leaving only an extremely hot pillar of light rising from thin air!
The energy generated by the super-high heat source expanded and exploded above the heads of the three White Whales, incinerating everything around them on the spot!
The sight of the sky spear striking left the onlookers speechless, while Ainz, with numerous buffs just applied, came behind Arthur and Reinhardt, asking in a booming voice.
"Although I'm still not sure what exactly happened, attacking that magical beast can't be wrong, can it?"
Arthur did not respond; he merely stood at the edge of the scorched crater, carefully observing the still-steaming White Whale remains.
Reinhardt returned a smile to Ainz, but his hand gripping the Dragon Sword did not loosen; instead, he surveyed the dense mist that was once again surging around them.
"The mist is the White Whale's weapon, essential for its survival. As long as the mist hasn't dispersed, it means it's not dead yet."
Ainz also stepped forward, and upon hearing Reinhardt's assessment, the fierce light in his eye sockets immediately intensified.
"It survived a direct hit from a Super-Tier Magic? A high-level magical beast almost at level 100? Then let's do it again…"
"Get back!"
Arthur roared, and Reinhardt and Ainz, without thinking, instinctively retreated!
In the deep pit, the dying White Whale exuded viscous black ink from its eyes, staining its snow-white body entirely with malevolence, as if reborn, and roared skyward!
At the same time, accompanying the exclamations of the crowd, was the sizzling sound of strong acid corroding the ground.
"Ugh—! What the hell is this now?"
A gigantic purple slime, round like a soft candy, expanded from behind the school building, continuously devouring nearby forest trees and absorbing them into its body.
The jelly-like behemoth creeping advanced, not only devouring buildings and vegetation but also greedily sucking in nearby earth and stones.
This scene caused everyone, who had just been about to retreat to the edge of the sports field, to stop in their tracks. Some of the combat-oriented individuals had already readied their weapons, preparing to send this reckless slime on its way.
"Don't be impulsive! Giant slimes are formidable enemies! Physical attacks are almost ineffective! Magic resistance is also very strong! It can withstand any attack!"
"Once entangled, you're pretty much doomed! It will invade your body through the gaps in your armor and dissolve you with digestive fluids! Or it will block your mouth and nose and suffocate you!"
As two highly skilled students from the Crimson Demons repeatedly issued loud warnings, everyone then cautiously stopped their actions, preventing a tragedy.
Demiurge habitually raised his hand to adjust his glasses, instantly realizing that this giant slime was completely different from the weak monsters in his world.
"So, what's the solution?"
Yunyun said urgently, "We must first freeze it, then use physical attacks to shatter its core! But its size is too immense; ordinary freezing spells simply…"
"Leave it to me!"
Two voices rang out almost simultaneously, and a surging magical storm erupted!
Emilia's body shimmered with shattered ice crystals, and a cold wind swirled around her. With her palm pressed to the ground, ice pillars pointed diagonally at the writhing slime advancing!
An intricate and precise magic circle unfolded beneath Riveria's feet, and three blizzards rapidly froze the ground, sweeping forward with unstoppable force!
The extreme cold blizzard obscured everyone's vision, transforming the surroundings into a world of ice and snow, leaving only sharp ice pillars piercing the slime fiercely!
The poisonous slime still struggled within the extremely cold ice layer, its vitality astonishingly tenacious. Black liquid even began to seep from its surface!
However, before it could act, the White Whale's wails descended from the sky, and three black shadows successively fell to the ground, erupting with thunderous shattering sounds!
Arthur and his two companions landed, and a strong wind echoed across the land, carrying away the White Whale's crumbling remains that turned to ash.
With the two uninvited monsters now one dead and one imprisoned, everyone involuntarily breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at the three standing before the ice pillars.
Ainz raised a hand to scratch his jawbone, and a cluster of necromantic gas condensed in front of his chest from thin air.
"Anyway, I just need to smash this guy, right?"
Arthur gestured for him to proceed, but the unease in his heart grew stronger. He turned to Reinhardt, who also looked solemn.
"The White Whale is from your world, and the slime is from my world. Have you thought of anything?"
Reinhardt smiled wryly and shook his head: "Our worlds are different, which means there are at least three more worlds' monsters yet to appear. And…"
He paused, his gaze sharp as he looked at Arthur, asking word by word.
"Sir Arthur, there's more than just this one monster from your world, isn't there?"
