Chapter 830 The Ancient Threat Slowly Awakens
[All three [Vampire Servants (B+ Rank)] have transformed into [Aberrant Vampiric Chimera Beasts (A+++ Rank)]!]
[All their Stats have further increased by +100% due to all the Miasma inside their bodies!]
"Now serve me and distract them! I\'ve spent most of the Miasmic Energy I accumulated, so do your work properly!" Roared Heisen, running into the large gate and utilizing a key to open it desperately.
"GRAAARGH!"
"ROOOARR!"
"GAAAAHH…!"
All three gigantic chimeric beasts rushed towards Maria, as she sighed. Her shadows quickly expanded around her as everyone she was carrying with her appeared in a single second.
"Catarina and the kids stay here and take down these guys for EXP." Said Maria, planning everything. "Everyone else come with me, we\'re chasing that bastard! Phantom Clones, check on the people inside the cells and give them potions in the meantime."
Maria\'s body quickly divided into smaller clones of herself made out of Phantasmal Energy which flew into the many cells across the corridor, while Catarina and the kids remained behind to fight the three abominations.
"E-Eh?! We\'re left behind again?!" Takeshi complained.
"I don\'t think this will be as easy as the others, Takeshi, focus!" Laura said, throwing a pebble in front of the wolf-like chimera and changing its charging trajectory in the last second.
BOOOOM!
"Graaarrggh…!"
The beast fell into the floor, only to quickly get back up again, opening its huge wolf-like head to reveal countless tentacles with serrated fangs.
"Shaaaah!"
The three snake-headed gorilla-like abomination swung its huge pair of mantis scythes against Nyx, who swiftly blocked the blows with her dragon claws.
CLASH! CLAASH! CLAAASH!
"No problem mama! I\'ll keep them in check!" Nyx said.
"Nyx!" Lucifer felt slightly worried but knew that this was a slightly necessary challenge for her growth. "Be careful!"
After all, she had stayed for too long as a B Rank already, and had yet to reach A Rank, she needed a lot more EXP, and these chimeras happened to be almost S Rank, so she should be able to handle them with enough support.
"Grooooohhh…!"
The aberrant mass of flesh and distorted limbs swiftly moved towards Catarina and Silva, as the two were riding over Blackie, swiftly evading the aberrant mass of flesh\'s attacks, which came in the form of huge, muscular tentacles trying to squash them like bugs.
BAAM! BAAM! BAAM…!
"Auntie, let me help too!" Silva said, boosting Catarina\'s strength and even Blackie\'s with her Miasmic Magic!
FLAAASH!
"Hah, alright, as long as I\'ve got you around I guess something like this is possible too…" Catarina smiled, suddenly materializing several blades made of blood. "[Blood Blade Rain]!"
CLASH! CLASH! CLAAASH…!
Meanwhile, as those battles began, Maria and the rest of her friends rushed in an instant towards where Heisen had gone, the room behind the gigantic, sealed gates.
"Hahhh… Hahhh… Dammit! They\'re already here?!" Heisen cried, gasping for air as he noticed everyone entering the room, kicking the doors he had closed effortlessly!
CLAAANK!
"Heisen! You\'re not running away from what you\'ve committed, you\'ll pay for all the innocent lives you\'ve ruined." Maria emerged alongside the rest of her squad.
Jonathan, Tear, Partner, Lucifer, and Emeraldine! They were a group of six S Ranks against a pitiful A+ Rank… It felt completely hopeless from the very beginning for the scientist vampire.
"You bastard! Where is Spectra?! Where are the rest of my friends?!" Fabian stepped out of Maria\'s shadows, confronting the wicked scientist.
"Hah… Hahahaha…!" Heisen began to laugh. "Oh, I recognize you, brat… You\'re one of the kids that ran away… One of my precious guinea pigs. Do you want to know what has happened to your precious Spectra?! To your friends that we captured? Why don\'t you see them? They\'re right here!"
FLAAASH!
Heisen unleashed a bright amount of light as a spell, illuminating the entire dark room, and revealing in the middle of it a large, glass tube filled with green liquid, where a strange, aberrant undead-like giant was resting.
It resembled the mummies from the Dungeon but possessing barely any skin over their bones. Wearing golden accessories and imbued completely with black runes and Demonite in almost every inch of its body, even its chest, which possessed a large concentration of it, of various colors.
The monster was over ten meters tall, and exuded a strange presence that seemed to be sucking every soul it could find, feeding off them and growing stronger, its aura constantly swirling like a black hole…
"W-What is that thing?!" Fabian cried.
"A giant mummy?" Partner wondered. "Ah, is this the thing absorbing the souls?!"
"Yeah." Maria nodded. "Most likely."
"But he said… that these were the kids?!" Emeraldine cried.
"Indeed… Behold! My greatest creation! Hahaha… My greatest, most glorious creation! A powerful sealed undead from these ancient ruins, which would never wake up nor obey my will…" Heisen laughed. "But I discovered by reading the ancient texts that it was named the Pharaoh of Death, an ancient Necromancer that was even stronger than S Rank monsters! I gathered souls, I gathered Demonite, everything to wake him up and make him become my own puppet! And after that Spectra girl happily gave away her heart and her soul to him, alongside all those other sacrifices… It has finally been completed! I was going to wipe out the entire damn city before leaving, but it seems you wanted me to do it earlier! Have your way then! Pharaoh of Death, King of Ancient Times, wake-"
SLAAAASH!
Before Heisen could finish his words, Maria rushed towards him and swung her huge sword against him, slicing him in two halves!
"G-Graaarggh…!"
"Do you think you have the right to talk?"
"W-Wait! Argh…! I am the greatest scientist- Urgh…! Lord Hendrick…! He will not forgive this!"
"Hendrick?" Maria wondered for a few seconds. "Is he the bastard behind Goldsand\'s corruption? Is he your boss?!"
"Hahaha…! Urgh…! Do you think I would talk?!"
"Then I\'ll ask questions to your soul later. Fuck off for now."
Completely exhausted of his energy and incapable of properly fighting back, Maria finished him off instantly by swinging her gigantic axe into his neck, slicing his head off and then unleashing a swarm of insects over his entire body, devouring him whole so he wouldn\'t dare regenerate.
However, that did little against the Ancient Necromancer that was slowly awakening.
Crack, crack… CRAAASH!
