Chapter 52 The Real Offensive!
Chapter 52 The Real Offensive!
No one can describe how magnificent it is.
In the desolate, scorching wilderness, ashes and dust swirled in the air, and countless gigantic beast skeletons crawled across the land.
In that instant, the world seemed to light up, illuminating everything!
Everyone had the illusion that they saw a giant sun rising from a hundred meters in the sky!
Majestic, magnificent, sacred... Flames swirled around this perfectly round sun, and divinely bestowed violence surged and flowed within it, as if it were about to burst forth!
Chestnut, Glenn, Ethan, Finsney... everyone stared at the sky with frozen expressions.
The sunlight illuminated their blank faces.
No, that's not the sun!
After a brief moment of shock, everyone came to their senses.
That's... a fireball!
But it was a fireball with a diameter of 100 meters, just like the sun!
Everyone was deeply shocked, unable to believe that Xia Fa could summon such a magnificent fireball.
The next moment, as Xia Fa pressed down with one palm, the sun-like fireball in the air moved a hundred meters in the sky.
The fireball began to fall at an unexpectedly high speed, far exceeding everyone's expectations, like a meteorite capable of destroying a city, or like endless divine punishment descended from the heavens.
Everyone felt the terror of that attack; it didn't seem to be aimed at the King of Jaw Beasts, but rather at shattering the very ground it stood on!
A terrifying heat descended instantly, and many giant jaw beast skeletons howled in agony. Before the fireball, which was a hundred meters in diameter, even got close, the stark white skeletons had already ignited rapidly, turning into charcoal and crumbling to the ground.
An immense sense of oppression enveloped the small hill, and the surging heat scorched the ground until it melted and flowed.
Roar--!
A majestic roar echoed from the hills.
That is... the King of Jaw Beasts!
The ground that had trapped it was smashed to pieces by its fierce struggle, sending soil and rocks flying. A black shadow, also hundreds of meters long, leaped out of the ground like a giant whale leaping out of the sea. A gale swept through the wasteland, carrying sand and dust with it.
The crowd finally saw the legendary monster clearly.
It was a ferocious beast like a king. While all the giant jaw beasts were burned to death by the extreme heat of the earth and turned into bones, it survived unharmed.
Its four pillar-like limbs supported the ground, while its massive head, like that of a steel warship, pointed towards the sky.
Roar--!
Another roar erupted, twisted and hoarse, yet carrying the inviolable dignity of an emperor.
Its small, dark eyes gleamed with a vicious light, and its muscles were taut, as if it were gathering strength!
This king of giant jawed beasts seems unwilling to sit idly by and wait for its demise.
It wants to soar into the sky and deliberately smash the sun!
boom!
The moment it leaped up, it created a huge crater in the ground beneath its feet.
One can imagine just how heavy its massive body must be, and how terrifying the force of its leap must be.
Like a monstrous dragon soaring into the sky, it approached the enormous fireball that was descending at incredible speed.
Under the firelight, everyone could see clearly that, unlike ordinary giant jaw beasts, its body was covered with fine, jet-black scales!
It was these scales that helped it withstand the flames that erupted from the ground during the initial upgrade of the Ghost Realm, which devoured all flesh and blood!
Everyone's hearts were in their throats. After all, this was a whale-level monster, and if they took another step forward, it would be a demigod-level monster.
A demigod-level being, capable of easily destroying a city!
Needless to say, this is not just an ordinary whale-level monster; this is the monarch of the Jawbeasts, the King of Jawbeasts!
boom!!!!!
The enormous fireball, as big as the sun, finally collided with the king of the giant jawed beasts, which was hundreds of meters long.
The heavens and earth shook, and extremely destructive waves radiated outwards in concentric circles of intense orange-red heat.
Anything swept by the wave, whether it be bones on the ground, mushroom trees spewing sparks, or even cracked earth, was instantly shattered and annihilated!
The wasteland suddenly dimmed, and the sun-like fireball dissipated.
Everyone looked up at the sky with trepidation.
The seemingly unshakeable body of the King of Jaw Beasts was slowly landing, appearing completely unharmed, with only its surface slightly charred.
Just as everyone was stunned, suddenly, its lower abdomen lit up from the inside! A loud sizzling sound rang out, and a burnt smell immediately filled the air.
The next moment, a large hole was burned through its abdomen, and a red-hot iron ball the size of a water tank, covered with fragments of internal organs and black blood, rolled out.
With a deafening roar, the blazing red Earth was the first to hit the ground, melting the surrounding parched earth as it continued to fall straight into the ground, like an iron bead falling into pulp.
Bang-!
With a heavy thud, the King of Jawed Beasts also landed.
This whale-sized monster didn't even have time to let out a cry before its massive head tilted helplessly to one side, and it perished completely.
All of this happened so fast that no one even had time to react to what was going on.
In particular, where did that huge, red-hot iron ball come from?
"Kid, you've got real combat talent! Who taught you?"
Suddenly, Lieutenant General Bedivet's rough and cheerful voice rang out from the military telegraph machine. This military demigod seemed to be looking at Xia Fa with new respect at this moment:
"You secretly hid an iron ball within that fireball... using the power of the element of the Etheric Source, Mystic Gold?"
Reminded by this extremely experienced demigod, Glenn was the first to react. He clapped his hands, quite pleased as if he had figured something out:
"No wonder! I was wondering why Xia Fa's fireball was falling so fast, unlike the speed of a normal fireball. It turns out it was to provide cover for the iron ball hidden inside!"
Ethan also sighed softly and said:
"For a beast-like creature like the King of Jawed Beasts, possessing a substantial physical body, this is a fatal blow! Even if it withstood the fireball, it couldn't withstand the impact of a red-hot iron ball falling from a hundred meters high!"
The gold-based metals, or the alchemical metals formed from the gold element within the secret etheric source, possess extremely high temperature resistance.
Even so, the iron ball was heated to a bright red, which shows just how terrifyingly high the temperature inside it was.
Fensne looked at Xiafa in surprise. Even though she had witnessed Xiafa's earth-shattering slash at the snow demon that had gone out of control twice, Xiafa's performance this time still made her feel extremely incredible.
After all, this time, Shafa didn't have the Baal Warblade, that sacred artifact, in his hands!
"Shafa, how...how did you manage to create such a huge fireball?"
Xia Fa had already returned to his group. The fireball, which was a hundred meters in diameter, had almost drained the burning sensation from his body.
He had already prepared an answer to the inevitable question.
But just as he was about to answer,
Suddenly, the intertwined vines and human heads in the air turned towards Xia Fa.
That was Axo de Augustus.
Archbishop Glenn's uncle.
A powerful demigod who is a cardinal of the Church of Nature and an elder of the Augustus family!
At this moment, Axel, who had previously thought Xia Fa was just a commoner seeking fame, spoke as if he had discovered a treasure:
"Shafa, do you even know how rare your awakened talent is? Haha, truly a blessing upon the Augustus family!"
