Chapter 222
222: Lawless Fleet, Dreadnought (3)
As pure white smoke billowed forth, it obscured the vision. Had we been unaware, a brief opening would have presented itself, but this Attack Party was nothing of the sort. That pristine, murky smoke erupting meant Dreadnought was currently in considerable straits—a move he only resorted to when pressed into a corner.
If we were to compare it to a game, it was the beginning of phase two. The Attack Party members didn’t remain idle either. Before the smoke could spread further, the Mages who had been waiting beneath the ground stepped forward.
From Dohyun Party, Hanalin emerged; from Ines Party, Chavin Topaz and Vera; from Fallen Leaf Party, Harun Panir—all prepared to unleash their magic.
Chavin Topaz and Vera coordinated swiftly. Chavin wove formulas while unfurling a magic circle in midair, while Vera, employing the Ether Hand technique learned from Dohyun, bound a Birdman and directly manipulated mana to reinforce and enchant the magic circle.
Harun, a naturalist, rapidly drew the power of nature itself into his body and began his incantation.
“All elements that comprise nature, I entrust everything to you—follow my will and scatter all that stands before me into the winds of ruin….”
Harun’s voice during the incantation sounded strangely as though something divine had possessed him. It carried the sensation of direct communion with nature itself. While the Mages from Ines Party and Fallen Leaf Party stepped forward, each unfurling their own magic circles, Birdmen, and incantations to dispel the white mist, only Hanalin did nothing—simply pointing her staff at Dreadnought.
And then.
Whoooooosh—!!!
A fierce wind, like a raging wave, swept through and instantly dispersed Dreadnought’s mist. The two Mages, whose incantations, Birdmen, and magic circles hadn’t yet completed, couldn’t help but flinch in astonishment.
‘No incantation!?’
‘No magic circle or formula!?’
‘Truly, the more I see, the more impressive she is.’
Everyone except Vera, who had already witnessed Hanalin’s abilities, couldn’t help but be astounded.
Whether incantation, formula, magic circle, or Birdman—one needed to employ something for magic to manifest. This was basic knowledge.
Magic was the expression of one’s law to the world, and through that expression, one could make it manifest in reality.
The methods of expression varied: some used spoken incantations, others used formulas and diagrams like magic circles, and still others moved their hands to manifest their law to the world through gestures.
However, manifesting one’s law to the world through sheer will alone, without any such expression, was something only an extremely rare few could accomplish.
Yet here was a human who had only studied magic for a mere fifteen years, casting spells without incantation. It was unbelievable, but now they had to focus on the magic at hand, so everyone deliberately looked away.
Kuoooooo—!!!
Kuwaaaaaa———!!!
As the magic circles and incantations were completed, two more fierce winds swept through, completely dispersing the mist that Dreadnought had unleashed.
Yet seeing Hanalin, who had cast without any incantation whatsoever, produce a wind of comparable power to the other two, the Mages couldn’t help but regard her as they would a monster.
Most of the Mages paid the matter no mind. This was the moment for the ranged dealers to act, and as the mist cleared, Hezway, who served as both Healer and ranged dealer, and Terra, who wielded only pure spears, gripped their weapons.
Dreadnought, seeing the mist dispersed, panicked and tried to move, but his plan to recover with the mist and counterattack had completely fallen apart, leaving him uncertain of what to do.
Even if he moved his cannons to attack, most would bend like taffy as they flew, and if he fired them, the damage would surely rebound on himself. Just as he was considering whether he should move his body to attack instead, two spears erupted from the ground.
One was Terra’s spinning spear, carrying a ferocity even more savage than during his previous duel with Dohyun, the sound of it tearing through the air audible.
Kuwagagaga———!!!
A spear flew forward with a fierce sound, and beside it, light flickered brilliantly, carving luminescence into midair—another spear.
Radiant Dragon Spear (輝光龍槍) Third Form: Radiance
A shaft of light surged forth and struck Dreadnought, and in that instant, the light exploded, causing Dreadnought’s body to convulse and flip backward.
It moved less than when struck by Dohyun’s attack, but the very fact that it moved at all was so absurdly powerful that not a single person present was unaware of it.
Of course, the fact that Hezway, despite being a Healer, could unleash such devastating power was itself unbelievable.
Just as I thought—perhaps this is the Golden Generation—Terra’s spiral spear also pierced Dreadnought’s abdomen, dealing considerable damage, though it paled in comparison to Hezway’s display.
As both spears struck home, Dreadnought began writhing in agony.
“Kuoooooo—!!!”
Kuwaaack!!!
Shiiiiing—!!!
Crack-crack-crack-crack-crack———!!!
As the creature, towering over fifty meters, thrashed about, the very act became a calamity unto itself, sweeping through the surroundings. The movement alone spawned whirlpools, and the ocean currents churned chaotically, their tendrils spreading outward to obliterate the shipwrecks embedded in the seabed.
Shattered into fragments and dust, massive pieces of wreckage scattered in all directions. Meanwhile, the whirlpools bearing down on the Attack Party were intercepted by Baeryujin, who materialized to unleash torrents of flame in defense.
Dreadnought’s attacks proved ineffective, yet amid such violent thrashing, there seemed no opening to strike.
On a hunch, Hanalin swiftly unleashed her magic.
Then.
Whoosh-crack-crack-crack-crack———!!!
Resembling light yet unmistakably possessing mass, the magic Hanalin had manifested from her newfound enlightenment was slight, but the whirlpools from Dreadnought’s thrashing refracted it slightly, sending it careening away from the creature to slice through empty air.
Of course, this alone made Dreadnought sense the threat and thrash even more violently, but the situation remained dire, so everyone simply waited for the thrashing to cease. Until Dohyun moved.
Though the whirlpools prevented even approach, Dohyun utilized his secret art—Spatial Blink—to ascend onto Dreadnought’s body, and those who witnessed it blinked in astonishment.
Dohyun himself, who had just driven a blow more powerful than anyone else’s into Dreadnought, should have been exhausted, yet he moved without impediment—shocking them all. Ines, Jiyuchan, Hezway, and Jerome, all of whom had unleashed comparable power mere moments ago, were resting to recover their stamina, yet he moved again?
Observing Dohyun with such thoughts, he paid no heed, instead smirking as he perched atop Dreadnought.
‘I think I’m beginning to grasp it.’
With those words, I drew forth my power anew. This time, rather than relying on the Herbs, I began channeling only the abilities dwelling within my own body.
First came the Plague Lord, cleaved from Inverse Heaven.
Sss-sss-sss-sss.
Just as Dreadnought exhaled mist, a violet haze began rising around my body—and upon realizing it was a supreme toxin that dissolved all it touched, Dreadnought thrashed desperately to dislodge me.
Yet my legs remained firmly planted against Dreadnought’s back, and I merged the Plague Lord’s power with the Reaper’s Eyes.
The Plague Lord’s power touched the Reaper in an instant, and the violet toxin I exhaled transformed into black light, the two hues intermingling as the mist began to spread. Or rather, attempted to.
Whoooosh—!
Just as the toxic mist was about to scatter death in all directions, I drew forth a new weapon. None other than the Plague Lord’s Chain Censer of Finality emerged into the world, and my toxic mist was instantly sucked into it.
Unable to fathom what I intended, all watched my every move, and I smirked before channeling yet another of my powers.
All Streams Return to One.
Just as the name suggested—all things flow as one—it granted mastery over all weapons, and in that moment, I began wielding the Chain Censer with the finesse of a grandmaster.
Whoosh-whoosh-whoosh-whoosh-whoosh-whoosh!!!
Spinning the Chain Censer vigorously overhead, a sound reminiscent of helicopter blades filled the air, and I launched the rotating censer skyward.
Whoooooosh———!!!
The Chain Censer shot upward with terrifying speed, carrying the rotational force of my swing, and I summoned my final power to finish this.
And in that moment, all witnessed the colossal form of a dragon materializing behind me.
Ruin’s Dragon Solvent.
The dread sovereign of dragons—wicked and mighty enough to annihilate this entire world, so fearsome that merely gazing upon it inspired terror—manifested behind me, and I channeled its power toward the Chain Censer soaring far above.
The power of Destruction flowed from my hands, traveled along the chain, and touched the censer at its end, causing it to transform. One of Destruction’s alternate forms—the calamity that, in ancient Earth, was said to have extinguished the dinosaurs—revealed itself.
Destruction Form 1: Falling Star
Destruction manifested in the heavens and plummeted toward Dreadnought. Sensing the mortal danger, Dreadnought thrashed more violently, attempting to escape, but bound by the chain, the descending Destruction targeted only him.
Desperate to dislodge me, he fired the cannons mounted on his back, unconcerned even as his own body tore apart, attempting to knock me loose with the explosions.
Boom-boom-boom-boom-boom-boom-boom———!!!
Countless explosions erupted across Dreadnought’s back, flipping his entire dorsal surface and inflicting grievous wounds upon himself. I too was caught in the blast, unable to escape unscathed.
The explosions seared my skin, stripped away flesh, and even severed one of my arms. Yet I refused to release the chain, refused to loosen my grip with my legs planted against Dreadnought’s back.
With half my face shattered and blood streaming, Destruction smiled within the carnage.
Dreadnought shrieked in that moment, attempting to break free, but.
“Kuoooooooo———!!!”
As a cry drenched in terror and despair echoed through the air, Destruction whispered to Dreadnought from within it.
“You can never escape.”
And a blood-crimson ominous star descended upon his head.
