Chapter 282:
The Azure Giant Sword pierced through her face, emerging from the back of her neck.
One of the giant swords was positioned right at her eyes.
Such a critical attack was fatal to any creature.
Layers of Azure Flame flickered gently at the tip of the giant sword.
Freya's complexion turned pale; she squinted her eyes and looked down at the two Black Spikes that had penetrated her body.
To her surprise, these spikes had directly pierced through her defensive Force Field.
"It seems I need to rest for a while," she murmured softly.
For a wizard, the penetration of two areas was not a big deal, but recovering would take some extra time.
Just as she intended to disperse the giant sword in her hand, suddenly, on the face of the girl with the swords embedded in it, another intact White Eye spun sharply.
A black pupil aimed directly at her.
"Ah."
Suddenly, Freya felt a chill in her heart.
Without thinking, she immediately released her dual swords and fiercely squeezed the white ring in her hand.
“Flame, explode!!”
A bright light spread out directly in front of her.
Freya barely had time to cross her arms to protect vital areas before she was hit as if by a heavy Truck, and her body was sent flying.
‘Boom!!!’
A fiery red energy burst forth.
‘Bang!’
Her back slammed hard against the ground, leaving a deep trench before she finally stopped.
Aside from the protected areas, Freya was emitting wisps of blue smoke all over her body, and even some of her hair had been singed.
Feeling the severe wounds on her body, she struggled to take a yellow pill from her waist pouch and swallowed it.
At the same time, she gathered some green Plant Energy to cover the two penetrating wounds.
After a while, feeling that her injuries had stabilized somewhat, she sat up and looked distantly at the still burning Red Flame.
“Can’t a pierced head kill it? This vitality is still a consequence of Klein’s manipulation.”
Although she didn’t know if this monster was what they called a Dream Eater, just looking at its formidable vitality was beyond that of ordinary creatures.
“I wonder, if it were in its complete form, what level would it be equivalent to for a wizard?”
Just as Freya was pondering these things, a voice suddenly came from the slightly weakened flames.
‘Crack.’
“Hmm?”
Slightly raising her head, Freya's eyes glimmered with a wary light. Her hand quietly reached for another ring.
‘Crack!’
In the burning flames, the massive black monster suddenly split open, and a large mass of black tentacles slowly spread out.
These black tentacles were densely packed and intertwined with each other, emanating a strong, chilling aura.
Even from a distance, Freya could feel the intense pressure that seemed to breathe.
“Damn it, what kind of monster is this?”
The intertwining tentacles grew more numerous, almost reaching a height of over twenty meters, resembling an ancient beast.
Suddenly, the front ends of the tentacles slowly split open, like mouths gaping wide, revealing rows of sharp white teeth inside.
A glimmer of blue light flashed in Freya's eyes.
As she crushed the ring, her right hand suddenly vanished, transforming into a swirling mass of Azure energy.
Looking down at the immense energy gathered in her hand, she forcefully swung it toward the still-changing tentacles!
“Go!!”
The vortex detached from her arm and rapidly expanded. Although it had not yet reached the height of the tentacles, it was not far off.
Then, the vortex violently intertwined with the monster.
"Bang! Bang!"
Watching the Azure lightning that occasionally erupted from the vortex, Freya's expression darkened slightly.
This was the last offensive spell among the several rings she had created earlier; the others were either purification spells or support spells.
If this monster didn't die from this, she would have to resort to desperate measures.
As Freya observed, suddenly a thunderous and brutal roar echoed from within the vortex.
"Roar!!!"
A circular transparent ripple rose up from the center of the roar.
The continuously attacking Azure vortex suddenly halted and then collapsed.
Large chunks of black earth fell from the sky.
"Haah..."
Heavy breathing resonated through the ground, and amidst the scattered black mud, a massive monster formed from countless tentacles slowly poked its head out, revealing only its Big Mouth facing Freya, slightly grinning.
Immediately, Freya's expression changed, and disregarding her still healing injuries, she quickly forced herself to leave.
"Slash!!"
Just as she left her original position, a semi-transparent giant mouth suddenly appeared.
The land there seemed to vanish into thin air, turning into a pitch-black abyss.
"Damn it! Damn Klein!"
Watching the ground disappear in an instant, Freya's face turned pale.
Aside from the initial Hell Raven, she had not seen any assistance from Klein; it was as if the traces he had left behind were merely decorations.
Freya had a faint feeling of being used.
As she ran at full speed, Freya covered her mouth, and red marks slowly flowed from her palm.
In the distance, a monster made of countless tentacles was pursuing her with a strange movement.
The earth rumbled loudly with its movements.
In the chase, the monster suddenly opened its Big Mouth again.
'Crack!'
Freya felt a sudden chill at the top of her head.
Without hesitation, she immediately drew out the hidden blue spikes from behind and shot them backward.
With a 'whoosh,' the spikes vanished the moment they were fired.
Freya didn't look back at the result; she pushed off the ground with force and leaped forward for a considerable distance.
Only then did the giant mouth snap down where she had just been standing.
At this point, the spikes made from the Special Bloodline that Freya had once extracted were completely consumed.
"Damn it!" Freya cursed fiercely.
Although the power of those spikes was not strong, they had a special function to break through the Force Field, and they had been carefully enchanted by Freya.
The blue poisonous fire they carried was more than enough to deal with ordinary ferocious beasts.
However, it could only slightly delay the monster for less than a second.
As she ran, Freya's golden hair flew wildly, but her heart grew colder.
She was severely injured now; if she simply tried to escape, there was no hope at all. Yet facing the monster head-on, the chance of survival seemed even more remote.
"Klein must have other motives! What could they be!? Damn it! Do I really have to—"
In her chaotic thoughts while running, a large mass of soil suddenly erupted from her left side. A huge swarm of Tentacles had somehow caught up with her.
They twisted and writhed, trying to ensnare her.
"Die!!" Her eyes narrowed sharply.
With a fierce pull of her left hand in the air,
five Azure Threads shot out between her fingers. They immediately slashed toward the group of Tentacles.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The sound of steel clashing surprisingly rang out above the Tentacles.
However, although she did not completely sever the mass of Tentacles, she successfully fended off a wave.
Immediately, Freya once again pressed the remaining few rings.
With a snap, the ring shattered.
A massive Azure Wind Flow then swept over her.
In an instant, Freya's speed reached its peak, almost transforming her into a blur of Azure.
The monsters behind her were quickly left far behind by her speed.
"Roar!!!"
Realizing its prey was rapidly escaping, the monster opened its Big Mouth and suddenly dove into the ground. With a splash,
the previously entangled Tentacles instantly unraveled, like a torrent of black water burrowing underground. In no time, they disappeared from sight.
The extreme speed seemed to exacerbate Freya's injuries.
The wounds that had just begun to ease now bled anew.
Freya pressed her hand against the wound on her abdomen; she could even feel her insides writhing.
At this moment, her complexion was exceptionally grim.
Several powerful bursts of magic had drained nearly half of her mental energy.
Bang!
A muffled sound echoed as a large piece of land suddenly rose up in front of her escape route.
With a tearing sound, countless black tendrils shot up into the air. Like a wave of darkness, they curved towards Freya, ready to engulf her.
A chilling and eerie aura rushed toward her.
Watching the force that was spreading out, she narrowed her eyes. For some reason, her heart felt unusually calm at this moment.
She even felt a slight thrill of excitement coursing through her body.
"Alright. If that's the case!"
Her gaze turned icy as she reached up to lightly touch the Ice Blue Earrings by her ear, while simultaneously pulling out two black fruits from her waist pouch and crushing them.
Two strands of pitch-black smoke emanated from the crushed fruits, swirling into Freya's mouth and nose.
At the same time, Azure Light began to slowly ignite around Freya, its glow rising like flames.
The penetrating wounds on her chest and abdomen gradually began to close, and Freya felt nearly half of her stamina and mental energy recovering and increasing at an astonishing speed.
As she ran, she suddenly extended her hand.
With a whoosh!
An Azure Long Scar spread out from the center of her palm, stretching several dozen meters wide and appearing almost tangible.
"I'll see whether you die or I do!" She narrowed her eyes.
The Long Scar in her hand ignited with a burst of black Ashfire.
Then, the entire body leaped to the extreme, slashing towards the sprawling black Tentacles.
"Hiss!!!"
The sharp Azure Long Scar tore through the Tentacles upon contact, and the black flames attached to it ignited like a plague in an instant.
The surrounding Tentacles twisted incessantly but continued to wrap around Freya.
Delicate white spikes slowly emerged on each Tentacle, all aiming to stab at her.
"Stiletto-Bloodbird!"
A giant bird made of black flames spread out directly.
Standing within the Black Bird Phantom, Freya was nearly invincible; any tentacle she touched instantly shattered into pieces.
In her azure blue eyes, two Azure Symbols shone with astonishing brightness.
Amidst the rolling mass of tentacles, a flash of white light suddenly flickered.
"Hmm?"
With a fierce slash that dispersed the approaching tentacles, Freya's gaze turned towards it.
There, amidst countless tentacles, a completely naked Blonde Girl curled her body and floated there.
The surrounding tentacles encircled her, seemingly protecting her.
"That's the one!"
Seeing the unusual girl, Freya's resolute gaze suddenly brightened.
Immediately, she rushed forward.
As if sensing Freya's movement, the curled-up girl slowly unfurled her body and gently opened her closed eyes.
The featureless White Eye stared intently at Freya.
"Blazing Edge!"
Freya's Long Scar suddenly elongated again, stabbing toward the girl.
With a tearing sound that sliced through the air, Long Scar easily pierced the girl's forehead, causing her to instinctively arch her body back.
Under Freya's cold gaze, the girl's body slowly split apart at her forehead.
The surrounding Tentacles seemed to feel an immense threat as the girl's body was torn in half, instantly retreating from attacking Freya and quickly retracting back to the girl's side.
"It's over."
The black Tentacles that obscured the sun gradually faded away, revealing the gray sky above Freya once more.
She suddenly felt the power within her rapidly dissipating; the excessive consumption of mental energy caused waves of dizziness in her brain.
With a thud, she collapsed to the ground.
"I wonder if I can hold on this time."
Although she didn't know why the last moment went so smoothly, Freya understood that the monster would no longer attack.
The dizziness in her brain kept sending her signals to sleep.
Just as she was about to close her eyes, suddenly, the calm gray sky twisted abruptly.
A huge face slowly emerged in the air.
The face was enormous, with black pupils that held a hint of a smile as they stared at Freya and the writhing tentacles below.
"Ah, today is truly my lucky day. I never expected you, Freya, to be in such a predicament. Let me lend you a hand one last time."
A hoarse voice echoed from the sky.
Freya, who was on the verge of falling asleep, felt a chill in her gaze upon seeing the empty face. She wanted to stand up but found herself utterly powerless.
"It’s you! Klein!!"
Ignoring Freya's shout, the face that originally had no mouth suddenly split open at the bottom.
A pitch-black crack tore wide open.
Within the crack swirled countless dark mists, continuously rolling and forming faces that screamed in terror. The lifeless eyes of these faces fixated on Freya below, filled with deep greed and cruelty.
Helplessly, Freya could only watch as the dark crack loomed over her.
It felt as if the entire sky was collapsing.
At that moment, she finally understood why Klein had not appeared before and why he chose to show up when she and the monster were both on the brink of destruction.
Why did he pull her into this illusion?
With a 'gurgle,' darkness enveloped them.
In an instant, Klein was swallowed by the darkness. After brewing for a moment, he suddenly spat out a black staff, which fell to the ground.
He looked at the staff on the ground, revealing a contemplative expression.
"Should I destroy it or put it away? After all, this thing is rarely seen anywhere." (To be continued)
