Chapter 87: Battling Diamond Class

A long tail suddenly tore through the chest of a giant, breaking its armor and flinging away the large figure like some toy.

There was a big hole in the giant’s chest but that too hadn’t killed him.

In the next moment, dozens of scorpions attacked him, tearing the poor guy apart.

Neil looked back and saw this scene, his heart beat increasing, he had lost yet another member of his big family.

The troops could easily be replaced by using some shards but those guys couldn’t be brought back to life.

“Move back!!” Neil shouted, already sprinting back.

The ground shook as the giants jumped back, with a loud explosive sound a large black figure rushed out of the ground.

It was nearly twelve feet high, with long and deadly tails and enormous pincers.

’It’s not the leader but it’s at the Diamond Class.’ Neil concluded, gritting his teeth.

His strength was still lacking but if he did nothing, then all giants, elves, everyone in the domain would be killed.

If only Magnar was here they had a chance at victory.

The arrows had absolutely no effect on this big guy, not even from the elemental bow.

It also needed the user to be powerful, after all.

Rushing to the large scorpion, Neil tried activating the Aquamorph but it failed, much to his disappointment.

“Let’s go all out then.” He muttered, and then ordered:

“Rock, pull back all the giants, return to the domain. I will carve us a way out.”

The giants felt terrible, they wanted to stay and fight even if it meant dying.

But with their strength, they would just be getting in Neil’s way and dying a meaningless death.

The giants disengaged and ran back into the domain, the scorpions who had just returned to their senses ran behind them.

[Pseudo Phantom Transformation!]

While running, Neil’s speed suddenly increased, veins bulging all over his body and heartbeat rising off the charts.

His body began to grow and turn dark and dreadful, steam began to rise around his body.

By the time he reached the giant scorpion, he had transformed into a Phantom, his presence spreading a terrifying pressure.

All the scorpions up to the 2nd Origin Gold just froze on the spot, even the Diamond Class one seemed shaken, that presence instilled fear in their hearts.

After the evolution, even the phantom form had grown terrifyingly strong, a dark fog constantly surging out of his body, possessing corruptive properties.

This was the first time he was using it after evolution, his muscles bulged, bursting with strength.

BOOOM

Shooting off the ground, he delivered a full strength kick to the Diamond Scorpion, pushing back the large figure.

GRRRRAAAAAAAAAA

A beast like roar resounded as madness flashed in Neil’s eyes, his mind and heart consumed by chaos.

The domain began to move forward at full speed as everyone in the domain supported him.

Nemo had moved all the buildings towards the back to fit the army properly.

Some of the giants also remained outside, throwing out chunks of metal and rods that the two builders provided.

Bob and Rob couldn’t just sit during such a dangerous fight, they would provide support in their own way.

The four pressure discs suddenly came to life, enveloping the surrounding scorpions with high pressure, stopping them.

Neil’s body was like a blur, pulling his right hand back, he punched out at the thin air.

[Aquamorph Activated!!]

A horrendous wave of burning hot fluid suddenly flew over his head, engulfing the scorpions.

Despite the madness, Neil was still in control of himself, thankfully.

He wasn’t sure if he really let go, what he would end up doing.

ZRRRRRRR

RIEEEEEE

CRACK CRACK

Strange noises rang out as the scorpions got burned, many of them dying while others received serious injuries.

Then the property of the fluid suddenly changed, making their bodies extremely cold as their carapaces began to crack.

The Diamond Class scorpion reacted as it rose to its feet, crushing the bodies of a few small scorpions and then raged towards the fiend before it.

It was no longer a fight between a monster and a human.

Both were monsters!!

Having created the space for the domain to pass through, and using the corpses to hold back the others from getting closer.

Neil now only had to focus on the Diamond Class enemy.

[Slimemorph Activated!]

’My ability is working fine now? This thing can’t affect a phantom?’

Neil was surprised, as dozens of slimes rose with various properties to protect the domain and himself.

But right now he just focused on the big creature, its tails coming down to tear him apart.

[Agility Lock Activated!]

[Agility Lock Target Selected!]

First he stole its speed, allowing Neil to quickly dodge the vicious strikes of its poisonous tail blades.

With ten of them attacking him consecutively, the scorpion screeched and suddenly struck him with its pincers.

BANG

Neil’s body was blasted back, colliding with the wall of his domain, as cracks appeared over the shield.

He glanced back faintly, seeing Bob and Rob already working to fix it.

Rising to his feet, he ran forward, that strike didn’t injure him at all.

He had a Mythic Class armor, even this scorpion couldn’t do anything to it.

Stomping his feet and jumping high, the fiend covered in dark fog slashed at the scorpion’s eyes.

The other creatures were starting to close in, thankfully the domain had passed more than half of the distance.

Just a little more.

CLANG

Sparks flew around, but Neil only managed to slash at the eyelid of the scorpion, before one of the tails almost slashed his back open.

Kicking it hard, he jumped towards its back and stabbed both the blades into its carapace, cutting off one of its tails.

The scorpion roared in pain, going berserk, swinging its tails around in madness.

Neil despite his speed was struck, a deep wound on his leg.

Poison entered his body, as he jumped towards his domain while speaking to Nemo in his mind.

The guardian threw the bow towards him, as Neil used Aquamorph and Sonic to stop the horde of scorpions.

Pulling the string with all his might, he poured a vast amount of essence into it as a water arrow began to take shape.

The accumulated power began to stack up, the arrow bursting with power as it rotated quickly.

[Stack: 3/3]

In his phantom form, the fully stacked arrow was even more terrifying, electricity began to crackle around it.

ROAAARRRRRRR

The Diamond Scorpion roared and ran towards Neil, planning to kill him.

’Merge the most tenacious and dangerous toxins!!’

The color of the arrow suddenly transformed, as Neil pulled the string until his finger felt on the verge of being chopped and the muscles of his arms were about to burst.

Expending over ninety percent of his essence.

The scorpion closed in, its tails swiping towards Neil horizontally.

BANG

The air shuddered with intense pressure, releasing an ear piercing noise the arrow shot forward with immense force.

BOOOOOOOM!!

All the snow, the surrounding scorpions were all blasted away upon the impact of the arrow against the bigger one’s head.

It contained terrifying force, it blasted back the heavy scorpion into the air, making it appear like a pebble.

The tails swiping towards Neil passed just inches away from his body, as the arrow broke through its carapace.
