Chapter 245
245: Davy Jones (1)
A blade imbued with ferocious intent that craved only Destruction—it sought nothing but the world’s annihilation, severing all things in its path.
Thus Destruction became a sentence, manifesting as a blade that plummeted toward Davy Jones.
—————!!!
Like death arriving without warning, the sudden blade of Destruction descended, and Davy Jones hastily erected spines across his tentacles in panic.
He never expected his tentacles and spines alone could block the blade. Instead, he covered three tentacles entirely in spines and extended them toward the blade, while using another tentacle to check Baeryujin.
In this way, Davy Jones bought himself a precious moment. Simultaneously with extending his spined tentacles, he twisted his body to escape the blade’s trajectory.
Shhhhk.
As my Destruction blade severed three of Davy Jones’s tentacles, he managed to evade the blade entirely, which continued its descent toward the ground.
Then.
Scccccrape!
A massive gash carved across the ground, and where the blade touched, the earth rapidly withered to dust, crumbling into powder across the entire area.
I gazed at Davy Jones, who had evaded the blade, with an expression of admiration. To make such a swift judgment in that instant and sacrifice tentacles to preserve his core body—it was honestly a tactic worthy of respect.
After unleashing the Destruction Slash, I sheathed my sword and drew a spear instead.
Davy Jones now had five tentacles remaining.
Three of those were being held in check by Baeryujin, leaving two unoccupied. As I drew my spear to sever them, Davy Jones caused spines to erupt from his body as if mocking me.
Fwoooosh——!!!
Shrieeeeek——!!!
Spines like spears erupted with terrifying speed—hundreds of them, it seemed. In that instant, I widened my eyes and swung my spear, forming it into a pale-blue crescent moon shape to block every single spine.
Cheongmyeong Jichang
Third Technique
Cheongmyeong Shield (靑明盾)
The defensive technique of Cheongmyeong Jichang unfolded, and hundreds of spines extending like branches toward me fell away in unison.
Rat-a-tat-tat-tat——!!!
Though my spear blocked every spine like a propeller, I could no longer close in on Davy Jones. Yet, setting aside that regret, as Baeryujin and I pinned Davy Jones down, three shadows appeared behind us.
The foremost shadow was Ines, her silver hair streaming as she descended with wings of ether unfurled.
She drew her Pulse Sword and swung it toward Davy Jones.
A circular pulse formed, becoming a pillar of light that fell from the heavens, crashing down upon Davy Jones.
Celestial Sword Arts
Seventh Arts
Impulse Downfall
And following Ines with a delay was Jerome, wielding a sword that seemed to carry the scent of the World Tree as he plummeted toward Davy Jones.
From Jerome’s falling form emerged the image of a withered ancient tree, its roots twisted together into a massive awl-like shape.
Yggdrasil Sword Arts
Eighth Arts
Deadwood Lance
As the pillar of light forged from pulse and the awl formed from dead tree roots descended, platinum light flashed, and Jiyuchan emerged between them.
Standing between the two with a platinum-gleaming scabbard in hand, he slowly drew his blade.
Then Jiyuchan’s form blurred, becoming a pure white hawk faster than both the pillar of light and the wooden awl, appearing before Davy Jones’s very face.
Jiyuchan appeared in an instant, leaving Davy Jones no time to defend himself, and in that moment, Jiyuchan’s technique unfolded.
Platinum Sword
First Technique
Platinum Refinement
Gold condensed into platinum, and when I condensed the platinum once more, a brilliant platinum aura burst forth, wrapping around the blade. As Jiyuchan drew the sword, he became a pure white hawk descending upon Davy Jones.
Kiiiieeeeee———!!
The sharp cry of a hawk echoed from nowhere as the blade struck down at Davy Jones’s head.
Golden Sword
Superior Martial Technique
Third Technique
White Hawk’s Heavenly Fall
Craaaaaaash———!!!
As the pure white hawk that was Jiyuchan drove into Davy Jones’s head, attempting to plunge him earthward, Davy Jones tried to endure it when pillars of light forged from pulse and spikes made from dead ancient trees pierced through his body, sending him plummeting to the ground.
Booooom——!!
Krrrrrrrunch.
As Davy Jones’s massive form crashed down onto the ground, the overwhelming mass created fissures and triggered an earthquake.
The entire earth trembled as a massive crater formed where Davy Jones fell, but the mages paid no mind and immediately cast wind magic again.
Whoooooosh———!!
A fierce wind blew away the dust clouds, and the moment visibility returned, while Davy Jones remained immobilized by the impact of his fall, the remaining members of the Attack Party leaped from the ship and descended to the ground.
Watching the Attack Party members jump down for the full-scale subjugation, Davy Jones’s crimson eyes blazed with light.
Dohyun and Baeryujin, who noticed it first, were startled and quickly became wary of Davy Jones, and before he could even recover from the impact of his fall, Davy Jones rapidly fired spines.
The spines he had fired at Dohyun and Baeryujin earlier now seemed like child’s play compared to the overwhelming number of spines being launched.
As thousands upon thousands of spines shot upward, it created the illusion of rain rising against the sky.
However, standing at the very front of those spines were Dohyun and Baeryujin, along with the tanks.
The tanks moved forward first, raising their shields and using shield techniques to create thick mana barriers, while Hanalin, whose casting was relatively swift, deployed a massive mana curtain to overlay it like a shield. The tanks then recognized it as a single shield and made it even thicker and more powerful.
As it formed like a hemispherical dome made of steel, the spines rapidly struck against the steel dome.
Ting-ting-ting-ting-ting-ting!
The sound of heavy monsoon rain striking an iron plate rang out as Dohyun and Baeryujin simultaneously struck downward on the shield, deflecting the spines and safely descending to the ground with the rest of the Attack Party.
Craaaaaaash———!!!
They attempted to crush Davy Jones with that steel dome, but unfortunately, after firing the spines, Davy Jones immediately escaped from that location, avoiding the catastrophe of being crushed.
As everyone descended to the ground, Davy Jones instead leaped upward into the sky and spread his tentacles wide open.
He then took on the appearance of a massive umbrella covering the sky, and Baeryujin and Dohyun sensed something ominous and shouted.
“Block it———!!!”
“Block it———!!!”
At Dohyun and Baeryujin’s shout, everyone came to their senses. Hearing the command to block rather than evade, they thought there was still enough time before he fell, but they were wrong.
The moment Dohyun and Baeryujin shouted, the severed tentacles of Davy Jones, who floated in the sky with all his tentacles spread wide, regenerated. But that was not all.
Then countless spines sprouted from the suckers, and soon Davy Jones’s body began to rotate slowly.
The spines sprouting between the spread tentacles, and Davy Jones’s movement of rotating his body along with the tentacles bearing these spines, gradually accelerated.
And soon, spinning fast enough to create a whirlwind, Davy Jones’s body floating in midair descended toward the ground.
What would happen the moment he made contact there was something that didn’t need to be said.
As it spiraled downward, it descended faster than anything else. Only then did everyone realize why Dohyun and Baeryujin had told them to block rather than evade.
With that understanding, they all gripped their weapons as the ranged dealers and mages unleashed their attacks.
Hezway, the ranged dealer, stepped forward first.
As Hezway clenched the empty air, a spear of light resembling dawn with an auspicious glow materialized instantly. Hurling it skyward while gripping the luminous spear, the light of dawn spiraled upward.
Radiant Dragon Spear
Fifth Form
Spiral Light Spear
Crash! Crash! Crash! Crash! Crash! Crash! Crash!———!!!
The dawn wrapped in a tempest became a spear that tore through darkness and soared upward. The attacks from other ranged dealers flew alongside the spiral spear of dawn and collided with the crusher named Davy Jones.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!———!!!
A massive impact erupted, and while Davy Jones’s rotation slowed slightly, it remained swift and menacing. In that moment, the mages pooled their mana together, and Hanalin and Vera combined the gathered mana into a single spell.
It was too beautiful to be called a magic circle, too radiant to be called light, and too dreamlike to be called reality.
As such a magic circle unfolded, the magic of Hanalin and Vera was unleashed.
Superior Magic—Solar Ray
Crash! Crash! Crash! Crash!————!!!
As flames of sunlike brilliance erupted, the scorching heat that melted everything and the tremendous ascending currents finally halted Davy Jones’s rotation, incinerating more than half of its tentacles.
「Kuh… Ugh!?」
Davy Jones, which had never uttered a cry of pain until now, let out a pained moan. The creature that had been descending in a spiral, poised to crush everything, was instead violently repelled and crashed into the mountain beside it.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!———!!!
The impact from Solar Ray was so tremendous that the mountain where Davy Jones crashed was split in half and crumbled. It was a terrifying display of power for a superior spell created by merely four people, but Hanalin shouted urgently.
“Recover your mana!!”
At Hanalin’s somewhat urgent cry, Hanalin herself, along with Vera and the other mages, quickly brought the mana potions they’d been given to their lips.
Watching this, Dohyun and most of the Attack Party members present realized they would be without magical support for a while.
Everyone knew they had to be more cautious with their bodies than usual, yet there were always those who failed to heed such wisdom.
Davy Jones, which had crashed into the mountain and quickly recovered from the impact, poured its life force into rapidly regenerating the four tentacles that had turned to ash from the flames. As it rose, it cried out.
「That was… quite the blow, but I won’t be able to use magic for a while!」
Elated, Davy Jones prepared to attack the party again when three shadows suddenly blocked its path.
In the moment Davy Jones wondered if it was Jiyuchan’s group that had knocked it down, it felt a disparity in power unlike anything it had ever experienced before. Trembling with something akin to shock, it stared at the three shadows blocking its way.
Then.
“Hello.” “Kaaack!” “…”
Dohyun had multiplied into three, blocking Davy Jones’s path. Each wielding a weapon, they swung toward Davy Jones.
