Doomsday Pillars Chapter 368

Published at 11th of April 2023 09:52:59 AM

Two figures could be seen hovering in the sky above Singapore City. Their auras were intimidating, one even swore they could faintly see waves of wind around them.

Even though her size was not even one tenth of the Chimera, Christina was standing there in the air, glaring at the monstrosity. Her current appearance looked like a fiery angel of death, one that would bring demise with its mere presence.

Her whole body was shining brightly due to her blazing wings and flaming swords, bringing awe as well as dread to those who lay their sight on her.

RRROOOAAARRR!!!

The Chimera's lion head was roaring loudly, injuring many fighters on the ground and also the gargoyles, due to how deafening it was. 

Because of the thundering roar, Theo, Nam, Chicken and Lieutenant Choi, who were busy fighting on the ground, defending against the waves of Abyss creatures, stopped in their actions for a moment, as they threw their gaze to the air. More precisely, to the two figures floating there.

While the others received some degree of injuries, the force of the Chimera's roar, as powerful as it was, didn't affect Christina one bit. Instead, her aggressive gaze towards the monster became even more fierce.

The roar did affect her during her last encounter with the same beast, but her sudden breakthrough in her realm, coupled with the fact that her body transformation made Christina increase her prowess, caused it to have virtually no effect on her. She was now two levels stronger than she previously was. 

Not wanting to waste anymore time, Christina decided to rush at the Chimera, or rather, the goat head positioned on its back.

As the technique was activated, another explosion of speed and power coursed through Christina's entire being. She then used the full control and exceptional speed she had on her wings to maneuver around the Chimera, causing the two snake heads of the Chimera to be unable to hit her with their ice and fire breath attack.

It did not take much time for Christina to finish Maxine's previous works, successfully separating the massive goat head off the Chimera's back.

Splat!

Realizing its life-saving head was decapitated, the Chimera instantly fell into a state of panic. It tried to harm Christina by launching the hundreds of poisonous spikes on its tail, but she could easily block or dodge them with the overwhelming advantage she currently had.

Out of the expectation of everyone, the battle between the two figures surprisingly became a one sided battle, where the Chimera was getting beaten badly. Not only did Christina know all the monster's weaknesses, she also had the required mobility to keep up with the flying beast.

[Fire Blade]

Familiar blaze of flame once again engulfed the two swords in Christina's hands as her body zoomed towards the Chimera.

Splat! Splat!

Blood splattered in the air as Christina managed to cut the two snakes' heads in one straight line, leaving a trail of red on the blue sky. However, she did not stop at that. She continued her actions by cutting the Chimera's wings, robbing its flying ability.

The huge beast rapidly fell from the air, crashing into dozens of Abyss creatures in the process. The unlucky creatures were completely crushed because of the sheer size of the Chimera and the massive momentum it carried due to gravity.

Seeing the beast hit the ground, Christina did not let the beast go, not yet. She immediately dived down and landed right on top of the Chimera's lion head with her two swords pointed downwards.

As a result, the two swords pierced through the lion's eyes, causing it to roar in pain.

Crack!

When Christina wanted to pull the two swords out, they instantly broke, shattered into pieces of blackened metal. This showed how potent Christina's flame was now, even a Tier 2 sword did not manage to last long when used with it.

The Chimera, who was under her feet, was unmoving, blind and dying. 

Christina did not want to waste anymore time and energy on the beast and began moving towards another group of gargoyles.

As she currently had no weapon on hand, so she began to use her spells.

[Tier 3 Fire Spell - Fireball]

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

She rarely used her spells, but this time, Christina could clearly see the power of the Fireball spell was several times that of the past. Instead of a normal sphere of fire, one could even say it was like a bombardment by missiles.

The moment the gargoyles or the hellhounds got in contact with the spell, they were immediately being hit by a massive explosion and scorched until death.

The death of the Chimera and the chaotic, gory sight created by Christina made the spirit of Singaporean blazed once more as they raised their weapons to fight. The fighters became even more passionate about their fights, while the civilians did anything they could possibly do to help the fighters.

An hour later, everyone's attention was attracted by a sudden rain of explosion that came from the Abyss Hole in the west direction. However, the perpetrator was not Christina, as everyone could see she was still wreaking havoc amidst the ocean of Abyss creatures.

When Christina looked over, he spotted dozens of ships that were on the sea. The bombardment came from them.

Looking at the flag fluttering on the ships, she realized the reinforcements were the people from China. When the ships hit the shore, a few thousands of skilled fighters swiftly filled the streets of Singapore from the south.

And before night arrived, Theo had managed to replace the broken Monolith and restored the shattered shield barrier.

At the end of Day 5, the city of Singapore had succeeded in repelling the first tribulation.

When the fighting was basically over, the Chinese mainship docked at the pier and a group of people quickly got off. 

When Christina finally returned back to her normal condition, among all the rubble and ruins of west Singapore city, a group of fighters from the ships approached her. Unexpectedly, the representative from China who came was none other than Zhao Fan herself, the elder of Zhao's family.

"Congratulations on the success of defending the city, Christina. But most importantly, congratulations for finally reaching your breakthrough."

Christina was stunned when she saw Zhao Fan in person. The timing of her arrival was too coincidental.

Christina calmed herself, turned her head towards Zhao Fan and asked, "Elder… Did you know this will happen?"

Even though Christina's tone was calm, Zhao Fan could notice the hate in her eyes, directed towards her. Hearing the young woman's question, Zhao Fan nodded her head, 

"Yes, I was counting on it"

Within days of the China fighter's arrival, the situation in Singapore was finally restored to its previous greatness. Not only that, apparently the elder Zhao Fans had been following the progress of Singapore city attentively. Among other things, they captured the cowardly prime minister Sidao.

It wasn't long until finally Christina was able to meet with her son again.
