"Bang—!"
The twins collided with Indivilia's body!
It was as if she had been hit by a train, her body flying backward with immense force, like a kite with its string cut.
"Boom!"
The impact crushed a small mound of earth, turning it into debris.
Mo Chen was stunned.
Good grief. Not just one, but two iron-headed kids.
Rocks shattered, fragments flying everywhere!
The twins seemed to have no concept of stopping the battle. As soon as Indivilia was sent flying, they immediately pursued her, hand in hand. With their other hands together, they formed a dazzling energy ball, which then erupted with massive energy, like the sun being launched!
"Boom—!"
A world-shaking explosion!
Immediately, a bright light burst from deep underground, like a brilliant star exploding in the night sky. As the light spread, a huge energy wave quickly radiated outward, shaking the ground violently, as if the entire world trembled.
The entire mountain range seemed to tear apart from an invisible force. Huge rocks exploded from the impact of the energy, turning into countless fragments that shot off in all directions.
These fragments cut through the air in stunning arcs, their ear-piercing whistle filled the air as they slammed into the surrounding ground, sending up waves of dust.
Mo Chen was shocked by the twins' power: this was a bit too insane.
"Boom—!"
The ruins exploded!
A graceful, nearly naked figure shot out from the wreckage.
It was Indivilia.
Unlike her previous elegant and proud demeanor, she now radiated a deep red aura, her eyes empty and cold, like a puppet being controlled, devoid of emotion.
She mechanically rushed toward the twins.
As she raced toward them, the debris on the ground seemed to be drawn to her, gathering around her, and within moments, her body was restored to its previous form!
The twins, before Indivilia even emerged from the wreckage, had already rushed toward her. There was no hesitation, no pause, as they were completely focused and decisive.
Their goal was simple: to eliminate their enemy.
"Bang, bang, bang—!"
The twins collided fiercely with Indivilia, the battle intensifying as if fire and ice clashed, producing dazzling sparks.
Indivilia's strikes were ruthless, aiming for the fatal points. Not only did she fight in close combat, but she also used energy cannons and tail blades. A careless move would result in having one's head sliced off by the hidden killing blow.
The debris on the ground seemed to be influenced by Indivilia, drawn together by some invisible force, reassembling itself and rising, much like zombies crawling out of their graves. They surged toward the twins in waves, attacking them relentlessly.
At the same time, the twins summoned a large number of hybrid creatures from the Red Tide.
Besides low-level hybrids like the Assault Fort and Martyr-like creatures, there were elite bosses such as Musashi No. 9 and the Daughter of Torment, as well as powerful monsters resembling Osiris, attacking the Rapture army.
(TL Note: Sorry, my knowledge about this is close to 0 and I can't find anything about these guys online :/ )
The two armies clashed fiercely!
In an instant, the battlefield was filled with flashing blades, exploding fire, and the sounds of metal clashing. The air was thick with explosions, buzzing sounds, roaring, and the screeches of combat. Every clash seemed as though it would tear their enemies apart.
The Red Tide army held the upper hand, as new hybrid creatures continuously hatched, flooding the battlefield. The Punishing Virus spread like a plague, infecting the Rapture army. They began to turn their guns around and retaliate against Indivilia.
However, the Rapture's regenerative ability was truly monstrous. The gaping wounds the twins inflicted on her healed rapidly, and the gunshot and cannon wounds also healed at a visible rate.
The battle raged on, and the massive noise would inevitably attract even more Raptures.
Mo Chen decided it was time to stop waiting.
He walked to the spot where NIhilister had fallen earlier.
Her body lay twisted on the ground, her arms limply hanging, her head tilted to one side, eyes vacant and lifeless, as though the spark of life had been snuffed out. Her once proud face, which had been filled with arrogance, now appeared pale, drained of all color.
The skin on her arms had been torn, exposing the stark white bones beneath, with fingers broken and scattered nearby. Her legs were in a similarly horrific state. The muscles on her thighs had been torn open, revealing deep red muscle tissue and ruptured blood vessels.
Her clothes were soaked in blood, the chest area blurred, with ribs clearly visible, several of them broken and piercing through the skin. The abdominal wounds were particularly gruesome, with mechanical organs spilling out, mixing with the dirt and blood, an appalling sight.
Who would have thought that the once mighty and proud fire dragon would meet such a tragic end?
Mo Chen bent down, reaching out to pick up the core, half-buried in the dirt on the ground. The core remained intensely hot, with such high temperatures that even steel could melt.
"System prompt: Bankai, progress 87.7%."
The core's extreme heat could temper Ryūjin Jakka.
He clenched his fingers into a fist. Immediately, intense flames burst from between his fingers!
In an instant, the temperature around him soared, transforming the area into a massive furnace.
Even the moisture on Mo Chen's body instantly evaporated.
The part of his fingers holding the core began to carbonize.
Mo Chen threw the core into the air. He reached out, and within the shimmering blue light, Ryūjin Jakka appeared in his hand.
With a single slash, light as a feather, the tip of the blade made a crisp sound, touching the fire dragon core.
At that moment, the world seemed to stop.
The next second, time began flowing again.
"Boom—!"
The core erupted in a surge of searing flames. Endless power gushed out like a volcanic eruption, expanding with the wind. In the blink of an eye, it had swollen to over ten meters, resembling a ferocious and terrifying dragon, coiling around Mo Chen's body.
At that moment.
Ryūjin Jakka simultaneously released a dazzling, sharp glow, its chilling edge seeming capable of cutting through anything in the world. The overwhelming force emanating from it suppressed the flames of the core.
It was like a sword meant to slay a vicious dragon.
The roaring flames surged toward Ryūjin Jakka.
"System prompt: Bankai progress 90.1%…"
"System prompt: Bankai progress 91.1%…"
"System prompt: Bankai progress 92.1%…"
"System prompt: Bankai progress 93.1%…"
"System prompt…"
Suddenly, the flames that filled the sky abruptly vanished.
They disappeared without a trace.
The flames were gone, the intense heat vanished, the monstrous dragon disappeared, and the sword with unparalleled sharpness faded away.
It was as if everything had evaporated.
Only the scarred, charred earth remained, with metal that had been scorched into crystal, and in Mo Chen's hand, a piece of wood that had burned to the point of carbonization.
Finally, the Bankai progress reached one hundred percent!
