Chapter 676 Chapter 676 Demonic Tide (part 4)
Vortimer's eyes widened as the colossal, ten-meter-tall purple demonic wolf emerged with a bone-chilling howl. The crew, still recovering from the previous battle, turned their attention to this formidable adversary.
Vortimer stepped forward, his metallic features contorted with a mix of concern and recognition. "That's no ordinary demon wolf," he exclaimed. "That creature is one of the demon's most powerful cards. It's a last resort, summoned when they are truly desperate. This purple demonic wolf has the ability to turn the tide of battle."
The crew exchanged glances, understanding the gravity of the situation. Aldred, his grip firm on the Phantom Doomblade, stared at the approaching adversary. The purple demonic wolf's eyes glowed with an eerie intensity, and its fur crackled with magical energy.
"We can't underestimate this one," Vortimer continued. "Its lightning ability allows it to seemingly tunnel out of reality and appear in other places. It's incredibly stealthy and mobile. We need to be strategic and coordinated to stand a chance."
The crew, still catching their breath from the previous battle, prepared for the incoming confrontation. The purple demonic wolf charged forward, its massive form moving with a surprising swiftness. Bolts of purple lightning crackled around it, creating an electrifying shield.
Aldred, Salamander, Cleome, Shinari, Elralya, Cellaeth, Quantum, Shuzib, Vortimer, and Zarael positioned themselves, ready to face this powerful adversary.
Aldred attacked first, swinging his blade.
The demonic wolf lunged with incredible speed, dodging attacks and reappearing unpredictably.
Salamander unleashed torrents of fire, aiming to trap the wolf in a blaze, but the creature's lightning ability allowed it to evade the flames effortlessly. Cleome's precision shots were deflected by the unpredictable movements of the demonic wolf. Shinari's agile maneuvers allowed her to dodge the wolf's attacks, but landing a blow proved challenging.
Shinari clicked her tongue in annoyance as she entered the shadow and appeared next to the purple wolf before the wolf seemingly vanished, consumed by lightning.
The crew quickly realized that traditional strategies wouldn't be enough against this formidable foe.
Aldred, assessing the situation, signaled for a change in tactics. "Coordinate your attacks and watch its movements! We need to predict its next move and strike strategically," he shouted over the chaos.
Vortimer, using his psychic powers, attempted to predict the wolf's movements. Zarael manipulated gravity to disrupt its balance, and Quantum positioned himself strategically to intercept its teleportation.
The battle unfolded as a dance of strategy and agility.
The crew, adapting to the unique abilities of the purple demonic wolf, slowly gained ground. However, the adversary proved resilient, retaliating with swift lightning strikes and evasive maneuvers.
The purple demonic wolf howled and charged at them, disappearing and re-appearing in and out of reality.
It chomped on Quantum's shoulder, taking a huge chunk of it. But Quantum reacted quickly, stabbing his spear right through the wolf's belly.
"This is our chance!" Aldred immediately appeared above the wolf along with Shinari and stabbed its neck.
Cleome and Salamander attacked, but the wolf vanished and appeared a distance away.
Huge amount of blood spilled out of the wolf's mouth.
"It's weakened," Aldred commented.
Quantum stepped forward, the large wound on its shoulder quickly repaired itself.
After a short break, they began fighting once again.
As the confrontation reached its peak, Aldred saw an opening.
With a burst of magical energy, he swung the Phantom Doomblade, creating a powerful shockwave that temporarily disrupted the wolf's teleportation ability.
Seizing this opportunity, the crew unleashed a synchronized assault. Salamander's fire, Cleome's lightning, Shinari's blades, Elralya's arcane spells, Cellaeth's precise strikes, Quantum's calculated disruptions, Vortimer's psychic onslaught, and Zarael's gravity manipulation converged in a coordinated attack.
The wolf was enraged. Its eyes bloodshot.
The demonic purple wolf, its fur now crackling with an intensified magical energy, charged up with an otherworldly aura. Bolts of purple lightning surged around its massive form, distorting reality itself. The air hummed with arcane power as the wolf prepared for a final, devastating attack.
As the crew observed, a palpable tension filled the corridor. The purple wolf's eyes glowed even brighter, and the very fabric of the demonic Battlecruiser seemed to warp and twist under the influence of its overwhelming magical energy. Reality itself appeared to shudder as the wolf harnessed the darkest depths of its power.
Aldred, Salamander, Cleome, Shinari, Elralya, Cellaeth, Quantum, Shuzib, Vortimer, and Zarael recognized the imminent danger.
The crew braced themselves, ready for the impending onslaught. The purple wolf's final attack was a convergence of magical might that could reshape the very reality they stood in.
However, suddenly, two figures covered in shadows appeared next to the wolf.
It was Aldred and his clone. The both of them thrust their Phantom Doomblade into the wolf's skull and chest respectively.
The charged energy slowly dissipate.
The corridor, once pulsating with magical tension, returned to an eerie calm. The purple wolf, its massive form now pierced by the simultaneous strikes of Aldred and his clone, stood frozen for a moment.
The crew, still on guard, watched as the vibrant glow in the wolf's eyes began to flicker. The crackling magic that enveloped its fur subsided, and the electrifying shield surrounding it faded away. The demonic wolf's once fearsome presence started to diminish, and an air of vulnerability replaced its prior dominance.
The soul and vitality seemed to be draining from the flickering eyes of the purple demonic wolf. The once ferocious creature now stood weakened and exposed, its bloodshot gaze dulling with the loss of its formidable magical prowess. The corridor echoed with an eerie silence as the crew cautiously observed the diminishing essence of their powerful adversary.
Aldred and his clone, still poised with their Phantom Doomblades embedded in the wolf's skull and chest, maintained a vigilant stance.
That was when the both of them moved.
They slashed the wolf, decapitating it at first before his clone sliced the wolf from the chest.
The wolf fell to the floor. Its eyes looking at Aldred in regret.
he crew, realizing the turning point in the battle, cautiously approached the now weakened creature. The rhythmic pulse of the demonic Battlecruiser seemed to synchronize with the fading vitality of the purple wolf.
Shuzib, ever the cautious one, spoke up, "Is it over? Can we truly defeat a demon's last resort so easily?"
Aldred, his eyes fixed on the dying creature, responded, "Demons are resilient, but they are not invincible. We've dealt a significant blow. Let's finish this."
As Aldred was about to lead the team further, a notification popped up.
