Abyssal Chronicles

Chapter 555 - 556: Superconductive Particles [2/4] fixed

This situation was something Kain found extremely frustrating. Not just him, but Bai and Borulov felt the same way. As powerful eighth-level beings, they naturally had their dignity, and being passive recipients of attacks was not in their character.

Being pressed down without any room to retaliate made them feel extremely uncomfortable, but they had no choice but to endure it silently and attempt to find an opening in Sword Demon’s defenses.

’But now?! This was an opportunity!’

"Take advantage of this moment and attack that guy with all we’ve got!"

Kain signaled his two comrades with a glance that conveyed the meaning. In the next moment, Kain unfurled his wings of thunder above the scorched ruins. Suddenly, dozens of thunderous explosions rang out without warning, like tolling bells shattering the heavens, shaking the earth, and causing the entire world to tremble.

With the raging thunder and lightning enhancing his power, Kain broke free from Sword Demon’s fierce aura and launched a fierce attack.

Seeing his comrade taking action, Bai gritted her teeth and suppressed the bleeding wound on his head, then swung her sword to attack Sword Demon from the side, cooperating with Kain’s assault.

Borulov, of course, was not one to fall behind. He immediately unleashed his necromantic magic and summoned dozens of horrifying undead creatures with a putrid and strong aura of death around Sword Demon. At the same time, this Imperial Grand Sorcer secretly activated a ring, transmitting a message.

Staring at Sword Demon, who was continually roaring in arrogance, Borulov’s terrifying face gradually revealed a sinister smile.

"Let’s see how long you can remain arrogant, you monster!"

...

...

At the time when Kain and the others launched their full-scale attack, high above the battlefield within the clouds, three royal grand mages of Red Leaf Empire, aided by flight magic, hovered silently, watching the battle below intently.

The three of them remained silent, wearing solemn expressions, and the atmosphere was tense.

However, with the arrival of Borulov’s signal, this oppressive atmosphere immediately dispersed. The three looked at each other and smiled, seeing the intense battle intent in each other’s eyes.

Seeing their Imperial Grand Sorcer being humiliated by Sword Demon for so long, the three Grand Mage long felt frustrated. However, they had no choice but to hold back their anger because they received orders not to intervene. But now, receiving Borulov’s signal, they could finally take action!

They were going to make the audacious Sword Demon pay for daring to offend Red Leaf Empire!

"Attack!"

With a furious roar from the leading Grand Mage, the magical power continued to surge. The spatial ring suddenly opened, and countless mysterious steel components emerged from it, releasing from the spatial ring. Under the control of the three Mage, they quickly assembled into a mighty magical energy cannon.

And this weapon,

It is a weapon specifically designed by Red Leaf Royal Family in cooperation with Red Moon Tower to deal with the threat of Sword Demon.

’Krodes Tremor Cannon’ -

One of the reasons Sword Demon is so difficult to combat is not just its terrifying combat power but also its impenetrable external armor. To defeat Sword Demon, its troublesome armor must be pierced.

And this massive cannon theoretically had the power to break through Sword Demon’s defenses.

"Let that damned demon king witness the culmination of our human wisdom!"

With a resounding roar from the leading mage, the deep black and profound barrel of the cannon was aimed directly below, at Sword Demon who was being besieged by three eighth-level human. The silver barrel gradually inscribed ancient golden magical runes, and golden light began to rapidly gather at the mouth of the cannon.

In the next moment, high above in the sky,

The ’Krodes Tremor Cannon,’ having completed its charge, unleashed its contained fury! A faint golden light, like the judgment of Damocles, carried the hatred of countless people toward the abyssal demon, and with the momentum of a shooting star, it pierced through the clouds and thundered down towards the Sword Demon...

"Huh? What’s this?"

After obliterating four undead summoned by Borulov with a single slash and kicking Bai into the ruins, Pierre couldn’t help but slowly lift his head to look at the sky. How could he possibly not notice an attack with such momentum approaching?

’Could it be assistance from outside at this time?’

’Hmph, how boring...’

With a cold snort, Pierre swung his sword, preparing to eliminate the cannon and the three pests that attacked him from above.

’Wait a minute?! A golden magical beam?’

—"When you’re surrounded and see a golden beam attacking you, just let it hit you. Don’t react, and let it strike"—

In that instant, the words of a certain honey-haired woman echoed in Pierre’s ears.

The power that had been stored in Silver Moon Sword was slowly dissipated at this moment, while the golden light, like Damocles’ spear, tore through the sky and slammed into the massive humanoid figure enveloped in dark purple armor.

Meanwhile, Kain and the others seized the opportunity and quickly retreated, putting some distance between themselves and Sword Demon.

In the next moment,

Under the excited gaze of the three eighth-level humans, the ’Krodes Tremor Cannon’ hit its target dead center.

BOOM!!~~~*

With a deafening roar that shook the heavens, the golden light engulfed everything within a radius of several kilometers, and faint golden energy particles scattered in all directions. After taking this attack head-on, the once raging Sword Demon suddenly quieted down, and the terrifying thunderstorm that had raged in the world also subsided.

Staring at the center of the explosion, the gigantic figure shrouded in golden mist, Kain couldn’t help but feel a burst of excitement, and his handsome face was filled with an ecstatic expression.

’Could it be?!’

"Is this weapon really effective?!"

"You and Miss Bai, attract the monster’s attention as much as possible and keep him in place as long as you can. That way, the ’Krodes Tremor Cannon’ can aim accurately."

"Borulov, can you guarantee that this Tremor Cannon will be effective?!"

"Hehe, how could it not be?! This is a weapon specially developed by our empire! Sword Demon’s armor can distort all attacks, but this energy isn’t released automatically. While the armor can distort attacks, when Sword Demon needs to absorb energy, external energy can also enter its body through the armor. Furthermore, historical records indicate that Sword Demon has let its prey hit it before! This suggests that the monster has a choice in activating the armor’s distortion ability!"

"So... what does that mean?"

"Don’t overthink it. In short, after the ’Krodes Tremor Cannon’ explodes, it will create countless ’Hypnotic Particles’ specifically designed to disrupt Abyssal Demon’s brain! When enveloped by these golden ’Hypnotic’ particles, Sword Demon is bound to absorb some of them into its body. At that point, these particles will interfere with Sword Demon’s brain, rendering its armor’s distortion ability ineffective! Then, our attacks can finally take effect!"

"It seems that Borulov wasn’t just talking nonsense."

Recalling the secret communication with Borulov during the battle just now, Kain’s lips curled up slightly, and in this moment, he vaguely saw the dawn of victory.

Without that terrifyingly invincible armor, Sword Demon would become vulnerable! With their attacks and the assistance of nearby Church’s forces and the Red Leaf Army, they might even be able to completely annihilate this fearsome Sword Demon King.

Thinking about this, Kain even felt a burst of excitement.

Staring fixedly at the gigantic figure shrouded in mist ahead, Kain began to accumulate power in his sword, preparing to launch an attack once again.

"This time, it won’t be like before!... Huh?!"

However,

Just as Kain was excitedly gathering power and trying to signal the Church forces in the distance to start providing fire support, this Church’s Apostle suddenly noticed something unusual. Those faint golden ’Hypnotic Particles’ that drifted over after the explosions of the ’Krodes Tremor Cannon’...

These special particles targeting the Abyssal Demon were inexplicably beginning to combine with the dark purple shadows of energy that were spreading throughout the entire area. The speed was astonishing, and everyone found it unimaginable as if these two types of particles naturally had strong compatibility.

And when these particles combined rapidly and turned into countless faint purple light points,

Kain instantly held his breath.

As the wielder of the Thunder Attribute Holy power, he immediately recognized the nature of these particles.

"These, these are... super... Superconductive particles?!"

’No,’

’No way!!!!’

"Quick! Withdraw quickly!!!!"

Realizing the danger, Kain’s face changed suddenly, and he shouted hysterically to his surrounding comrades...
