Infinite Mana In The Apocalypse

Chapter 195 - It shouldnʼt be like this!

The World Engine!

The tool that allowed the Lost World of Atlantis to change its position in the Universe and even mask its location from prodding eyes. It was a terrifying piece of technology that changed the known coordinates of a world and put a veil that allowed them peace for years while Demons and Cultivators were chasing after them.

But it seemed to have been the most overlooked thing for the invading enemies as they kept their sight on the Supreme Treasure that was the Trident of the Sea and nothing else.

It felt like his mind was swirling with questions as the words from Sect Master Inuit registered into Noahʼs mind, gaining a traction of truth as he felt like it was a very real possibility.

ROAR!

He let out a roar as he sent word into the mind of the Kraken about the Calamity and inhabitants of Atlantis facing the forces of the Karmic Sect.

Their attacks reduced a second later as the two sides hesitatingly pulled back after getting word from the powerful PHANTASMAL calamity. They still had their weapons raised as they looked at the eerie figures of cultivators that were only putting up defensive maneuvers all this time as they stopped.

Sect Master Inuit had a wide smile on his face as he nodded, and his body began to shine an even more dazzling white light as he looked over the location where a battle between a ferocious Demon Emperor, a calamity, and the person he had to save was taking place.

Noah felt a feeling of apprehension as he moved even faster against the maddening power of Baal. The Ruler continued to blaze with hellish flames as one of his powerful skills, [Space Destruction], was stopped by the ability of the Trident of the Sea.

His outspread Demon Wings were collecting and using the essence around them to form flaming lances of hellfire that continued to shoot towards Noah and the Kraken relentlessly as he withstood both of their attacks and fought back.

The deadly [Radiation Queenʼs Sword]s that Noah wielded in each of his three heads had left behind gory injuries as skin and muscle would split apart the moment they neared.

This wasnʼt all though, as when they came just an inch away from Baalʼs body, he found his bones shattering and atrophying at a horrendous rate as the [Shatterment] from the Ultimate Skill, {Bone Master}, was kept active.

Baalʼs mind was one of wrath and shock as he found the abilities of his people to be used seamlessly by this enemy to cause him grievous injuries. His Ultimate Skill, one of the Seven Deadly Sins, {Gluttony}, continued to be used as deadly injuries that should have killed him long ago continued to heal at a rapid pace.

The skill allowed him to absorb the origins of those he defeated to either boost his strength rapidly or save their origins for situations like these, allowing him to have many lives as he constantly healed from death-causing injuries without batting an eye.

The hellish flames that burned under the sea spread out wildly from him as he continued to hold strong against two of the most powerful PHANTASMAL ranked beings he had come across.

The flames could normally not be extinguished from the enemyʼs body until he wished, yet he found them to be doused by the appearance of the Trident of the Sea he wanted to get his hands as it seamlessly made them disappear on the body of the Hydra and Kraken.

The strikes of the Hydra became an onslaught as they appeared at an even faster pace, and yet another skill that Baal knew of was cast from his enemy.

A terrifying field of bones bloomed from beneath his feet as [Bone Burgeon] was used. Like a rapidly spreading fire, the bones bloomed out and formed into jagged piercing edges that encircled Baalʼs body and covered all of his vision.

BOOM!

The terrifying Hydra did not let up, as during this time when Baalʼs vision went blank just by a second, the ability of [Heart Piercer] from the Trident of the Sea was used as an enormous amount of mana went in without regard.

ZING!

”GAAAH!”

A piercing scream came out from Baal as he was recovering from the dangerously blooming field of bones below him when he felt his origin shaken and heavily injured.

”AAAH!”

He was truly maddened as he found himself in this position!

He was the Ruler of the Demon World, someone extremely powerful. In this battle, even against two or three PHANTASMAL ranked beings, he would have been able to stand against them and win.

He had an Ultimate Skill that allowed him to fight endlessly, never-ending flames that would burn his enemies to their death, and he could tear apart space itself to corner anybody who stood against him.

He was truly powerful, and should have been able to show his overwhelming power in this battle!

But too many things occurred. A sneak attack by someone from his own forces had heavily injured his origin, and everything that happened thereafter that went forward to restrict him even more. The terribly powerful Hydra whose strength was heavily boosted by the Trident of the Sea and the humongous Kraken that relentlessly used its tentacles to restrict and attack cornered him so much that he could barely exhibit the stupendous strength he was known for. He was unwilling. He was furious. He would not accept this!

”Burn, burn, burn!!!”

His hoarse voice resounded out as the never-ending flames erupted from him and spread outwards, pushing back the blooming fields of bones as he watched the Trident of the Sea return to rest on the middle head of the Hydra. His form was covered in flames as the space around him began to vibrate, using his essence fully to try and break apart the heavy restrictions created in the waters around him.

The Trident atop the Hydraʼs head did not rest as its three sharp pointed ends began to glow. Hazy blue light began converging on the pointed ends as another ability of the Trident of the Sea, [Plasma Beam], was activated.

OONG!

A tremendous amount of mana continued to enter the Trident to keep this ability active as a shining beam of light erupted from the pointed ends and rushed towards Baal.

BOOM!

The light split apart the swirling flames and struck onto his chest, blowing yet another hole clean through. Baalʼs thick arms reached out to clasp onto this piercing plasma beam as his skin became shredded and soon began tearing apart. His Ultimate Skill continued to work as it healed him constantly, but the origins of his enemies he had absorbed and kept aside for situations like these were nearly finished.

He looked forward unwillingly as this really was not how things were supposed to go down.

He was the first ranked Ruler of the Demon World. He was actually very, very powerful. He would have needed entire days and nights just to be brought down to this state he was brought in, in barely a few minutes. His gaze wasnʼt even on the Kraken any more as he allowed the black tentacles shaped like javelins to bypass his defenses and strike his body.

He was focused on the three-headed Hydra that threw out relentless attacks that drained him so much, and so fast. The relentless poisonous blades that tore apart his defenses like nothing. The Trident of the Sea that boosted the enemyʼs strength by such a large extent. There were too many things that this enemy carried!

Baal was unwilling and unruly until the end as his belief remained the same. He knew his own power and how this battle should have gone down. So while his body continued to disintegrate from the extremely destructive Plasma Beam that was somehow still shooting from the Trident like it was nothing, his belief remained the same.

It really should not be like this.
