Chapter 1933. Primeval Fury

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

Anotherday had the most stable DPS among them. The usage frequency of his skills was the highest. With his flying dagger reducing the cooldown of all his other skills, he could use them very often.

His strongest skill, Duality Bomb, had been used countless times since the battle started. When he used the skill, the black and white ball he conjured was larger than his body. This giant elemental ball had the power to stop Leviathan in his track. It saved the Caelum Whale numerous times since the whale rejoined the battle.

While Paytowin had the most explosive power to take a chunk of Leviathan's HP, Anotherday ground the devil's HP slowly while keeping it from recovering the lost HP. Due to this, he was targeted by Leviathan. However, Veiled Demon Slayer possessed a high dexterity stat. As long as he was not careless, it was not easy for Leviathan to catch him.

In a tight situation, Anotherday used his pinnacle class' level 60 skill, Chained Claw. This skill threw a claw that clung to an object. If the object was an enemy, this enemy could be pulled toward him, or he could use it to dash toward the enemy. The claw dealt continuous damage as long as it was stuck on an enemy. The claw caused random afflictions every three seconds until it was removed. The maximum duration it may stay on the enemy was ten minutes. The skill's cooldown only started when the claw was destroyed or removed.

Anotherday used this skill more often for live-saving purposes rather than for offense. It was one of the few skills where the system negated friendly fire. When the claw struck an ally, it didn't cause damage or afflictions. Anotherday used the skill on either the whale, Brave King, or Mazin to pull himself away in dangerous situations when his speed was not enough.

To increase their survivability, Wilted used soul links on all four players. Anotherday was linked to the Caelum Whale, Joe to Meratis, Paytowin to Brave King, and herself to Mazin.

Joe and the Caelum Whale were the ones who kept Leviathan at bay when Paytowin's Omega Battle Mech was unavailable. His Spectral Projection and Spectral Squad allowed him to fight the devil without risk to his true body. When it was dangerous, he used Spectral Doors to get away. Leviathan virtually couldn't hit him when this skill was active. He was as if possessing a constant teleportation ability. At max level, Spectral Doors had a cooldown of only one hour.

Wilted's Conversion of Souls at the max level also had a short cooldown of one hour. After two days, almost the entire sky where they were battling was marked by her skill. No matter where Leviathan went, the damage he suffered would fill Wilted's soul orbs, which were then used to heal the others.

In this way, they persevered through the long battle, grinding Leviathan's HP down.

The physical endurance of their gamer bodies let them fight for days without tiring. It was mental fatigue that burdened them after fighting for so long, but they persevered.

Leviathan himself no longer acted haughtily. He didn't even realize his HP was so low already. He was shocked when he learned his HP bar was below twenty percent. He rarely paid attention to his HP bar. There was never a need to. Throughout his long existence, the number of times his HP bar fell to half could be counted using one hand. As to getting into his current state, this was the first time it ever happened.

He looked at the opponents around him. They were also wounded and not in healthy condition.

The Caelum Whale and the two techno golems had many scars all over their bodies. Mazin had even lost one leg. Everyone's HP was below half. The Caelum Whale and Anotherday had the lowest HP. Their HP was below thirty percent. This was because the Caelum Whale took on Leviathan's blows most of the time.

Leviathan assessed the situation. With the outworlder healer still in play, it wasn't likely he could take these opponents out before he ran out of HP. He had been trying to get to that healer, but she was very careful. She always stayed out of range, and the others protected her well.

With most areas marked by Wilted's Conversion of Souls, Wilted could afford to stay away from Leviathan while still filling her soul orb and using it to heal her allies.

Leviathan wasn't willing to believe these people pushed him into such a situation. All the Remoron Bugs on his body had also been slain after these two days. He was alone up here. An unpleasant yet urgent feeling swelled inside him. He didn't understand what this feeling was. He never experienced it before, but he followed its command. The command was to go where his army was and gain its assistance. He wasn't aware this feeling was called fear.

"George! Is your Omega Battle Mech off cooldown?!" Wilted asked when she saw Leviathan change direction and move away from them. Her Soul Trap was in cooldown. She couldn't use it to prevent Leviathan from leaving.

"It is still a few more minutes!" Paytowin answered.

"You shall not leave!" Meratis exclaimed as she sent a mental command to the Caelum Whale. The Caelum Whale obeyed the command. The massive water around it was like a tidal wave that chased after Leviathan.

Anotherday, Joe, Mazin, and Brave King did their best to hinder Leviathan, allowing the Caelum Whale to catch up. The two behemoths collided again.

'Joe, prepare to use that!' Wilted messaged Joe.

'I thought we were only using it when Leviathan's HP fell below ten percent?' Joe asked back.

'Leviathan already lost his nerve. He is fleeing. We can't let him reunite with his force. If the Caelum Whale fails to halt Leviathan, use it.'

The Caelum Whale continued to bump its body into Leviathan. The devil pushed back using his superior strength while continuing to move away. The Caelum Whale made that difficult, though. All the while, Anotherday and the others harassed Leviathan from the sides.

Frustrated by his lack of progress, Leviathan lashed out.

"You, big lump of meat! Do you want to die so much? So be it!" Leviathan roared.

Vapor spewed from the gaps of his opened armors.

"Be careful!" Wilted shouted.

Wilted knew what Leviathan was using. It was the devil's last resort buff skill, Primeval Fury. This buff skill was only available when Leviathan's HP was below thirty percent. She had been expecting Leviathan to use this skill for some time. It seemed he would now be using it to escape.

"Joe!" Wilted called.

Joe was ready. He was about to use his skill, but then he saw Leviathan was not moving away. Instead, the devil lunged at the Caelum Whale.

Due to the pressure, the fear Leviathan experienced turned into anger. This anger made him forget about self-preservation.

The tips of Leviathan's tentacles glowed with silver light. Wilted identified those lights as the sign of Leviathan's Soul Devastator. She hurriedly sent all her healing spells to the Caelum Whale.

The Caelum Whale was taken aback by Leviathan's sudden rise in strength. The water around it was as if non-existent. The water couldn't stop Leviathan. The devil barged through and had his tentacles wrapped around its body.

Leviathan originally saved the Soul Devastator for Paytowin's Omega Battle Mech, but he was too angry to care right now.

The glowing tips of Leviathan's tentacles slammed into the Caelum Whale's armor. They pierced right through. The pained roar from the whale echoed throughout the sky.

"Cae…!" Meratis also cast a recovery spell on the whale.

Yet, the Caelum Whale's HP bar continued to fall. The glow from the tentacles became brighter.

"No!" Wilted exclaimed. He cut off the soul link between the Caelum Whale and Anotherday.

Leviathan's anger boosted his raw strength. Together with the Primeval Fury, his already tremendous strength reached new heights. With a violent heave, Leviathan ripped the Caelum Whale apart. The whale's HP bar went straight to zero.

"NOOO…!!!" Meratis cried.

Meratis was exposed now that the Caelum Whale was gone. Leviathan was right in front of him. Leviathan opened his mouth wide, attempting to swallow her.

She felt something yanked her from behind just as Leviathan's jaws were closing in. She zoomed away, narrowly escaping Leviathan's jaws. She looked back and saw it was Anotherday. He used his Chained Claw to pull Meratis out of certain doom.

"Raggrrhhh…! I will kill you all!!" Leviathan seemed to have lost his mind. His tentacles lashed around violently. Soul lassoes came out of his tentacles, making his reach even longer. But due to his unsteady psyche, he didn't aim any of his attacks. This let Anotherday and the others dodge his haphazard attacks.

"Wilted!" Paytowin called.

Wilted looked back and saw what Paytowin was warning her about. A large group of winged demons was on their way. Leviathan must have called them to come. Defeating Leviathan would become much more difficult if those demons arrived.

"Joe! We don't have any more time. Use it!" Wilted yelled.

Joe complied. A blue light radiated out of him. The blue light traveled fast and far. It touched almost everyone but stopped before the incoming reinforcement demons. As soon as the blue light stopped expanding, those touched by the light were covered with translucent blue light.

They then vanished.
