Chapter 443: Ruin
I am thrown backwards. My back crashes through a wall, and I sink down. As I open my eyes, I see a circle of destruction around the iridescent sphere. Perhaps because of her [Mirror Counter], the area behind where Lilixira was is less affected.
But even with a protective barrier, it doesn’t change the fact that she was the closest to the blast. I can’t imagine she got away unscathed. I don’t know whether she was blasted apart or swallowed by the collapsing floor, but there’s no sign of her anywhere.
“L-Lilixira-sama…? Lilixira-sama? Where are…”
Similar to me, Alphiss, Balear, and the adventurers were blasted outwards, and are moaning by the edge of the hole in the ground. Aro is kneeling down, but because her enlarged arm acted as a shield, it doesn’t look like her body took much damage.
J-just how big is that skill…? I had some distance so I was able to get away without too much much damage, but anything near the centre of it would get ridiculously hurt.
As I watch, the monster itself easily ploughs through the ceiling head-first, disappearing to the floor above.
“OoOOO, OooOOOOOOh!”
With another strange cry, iridescent light spills down through the hole in the ceiling. It’s the same skill that hit Lilixira. The ceiling breaks apart, once again revealing its figure. The parts that are hit directly are annihilated without a trace, so fortunately no rubble rains down on me.
The monster’s appearance, colours, and vague shape remind me of the appearance of the [Chaos Ooze] just before using [Colour Change]. But while that was clearly made of slime, this appears to be entirely made of light. Could it be a monster that, like the [Gigant Slime], was looked away underground by the slimes?
