Chapter 219: Pope of the Black Sun (3)
Jedex’s summon, the Hellbeast of Barata had its body pierced through by holy swords. Karnak’s fusion elemental giant, El Ragna Terrastia, was forcibly weaved through chaos magic. Though they were fundamentally different beings, they both took the form of magma giants.
The two magma giants clashed in the middle of the street, scattering flames in every direction. Varos, Serati, Leven, and Lapicel all withdrew to avoid the searing heat. Flaming rocks entangled, hot winds swirled, and torrents of flame flowed as the brutal fight raged on.
Agonized screams erupted from both giants. One was a demon beast from hell, the other an otherworldly elemental. Yet in this moment, they were bound by the same fate. Both needed to destroy the other to lessen their own torment.
That... Watching from a distance, Lapicel grimaced. Something about this feels wrong...
She wanted to trust Karnak, but the sight unfolding before her eyes was too unsettling to ignore. Meanwhile, the magma giants fought desperately on, but the outcome was already decided.
Jedex’s beast had exhausted much of its strength fighting Karnak’s aura users, while the elemental was still fueled by the tremendous mana stored in the black cubes. In the end, victory fell to Karnak’s side.
The fusion elemental’s massive hands crushed the beast’s skull. Its body of fire and stone collapsed like a landslide, scattering debris everywhere.
"Da-damn it!" Cursing, Jedex hastily began preparing his next spell.
Varos watched him blandly and asked, "How much longer do you think he’ll last, young master?"
"No need to hold back anymore."
They had confirmed everything they needed, and there was nothing left to see. Besides, the summoned elemental giant still stood unscathed.
"Go, El Ragna Terrastia."
