Chapter 262 - The Harbingers Rain Down Destruction
In a world covered with the vicissitudes of ice, a world-shaking battle was taking place, and it was a battle that would decide the fate of the Large World that was known as the Icebound World!
The three forces occupying the lands of Icebound World had all converged to meet in this single battle, with the cowering humans in the East finally making their stand and choosing to join with the Frost Race that had recently gained powerful helpers in order to bring the tyrannous Ice Giants’ war path to an end.
Freezing cold winds and snowy weather covered the terrain of this final battle, where two powerful auras were looking towards each other with extreme battle spirit on the wide terrains where hundreds of thousands of beings gathered. Billowing snow that obscured one’s vision continued to come down heavily, but it did not deter any of the two opposing forces.
On one side, the King of the Ice Giants, Larruk, held a tremendously large mace made of extremely hard crystals that shone in the light, giving the menacing weapon a beautiful sheen before it could be seen dripping with blood as it crushed countless beings.
The King of Giants was more than twenty meters tall, being five meters taller than the average Ice Gaint as he stood out prominently in the crowd. Expertly made blue battle armor covered the entirety of his body as he looked like a moving fortress that was ready to crush everything on sight.
Surrounding him were a variety of other powerful Ice Giants that could be called his generals, each one holding their own humungously sized weapons as they waited for the command to move against their enemies. They held varying levels of power, with many of them being in the Mythical Rank, and a few standing stably in the Phantasmal Rank.
On the other side, The forces of the Frost Race and Human Race had gathered together as they looked forth with trepidation, the large sizes of the giants continuing to etch fear into their hearts. The arctic penguins had changed from their casual tuxedos as they wore tight-fitting battle armor, their flipping giving off a dangerous sharp light as they looked ready to cut apart all they came near. The beings of the Frost and Human Race turned their gaze to the beings who could face off against the cold hard gaze of the powerful giants at the front lines as their fears eased just a little.
The sleek Emperor Penguin was in the front as his body floated serenely in the rough winds, rising in the air until his eyes were on the same level as the King of Giants. The runic marking in the middle of its forehead that showed off its title as the holder of the Sin of Pride seemed to become slightly more golden as the penguin’s eyes looked at its enemies with extreme arrogance. Its beak then proceeded to point towards the sky as it began the battle by showing disdain to its enemies!
Kazuhiko and the other forces were showing vibrant releases of power, as the Kraken had revealed its full size and showed that is was no less than even the King of Giants itself as its voracious tentacles and arms wiggled in the cold skies, while the Imperial Phoenix was the only one surrounded by warm air as her body had already begun burning with resplendent blue flames. The tounges flames danced around her body excitedly as if they could not wait to jump out and incinerate all that the Imperial Phoenix deemed to be her targets.
It was truly an assortment of powerful beings as a battle call resounded throughout the frozen landscape, signifying the start of the fight!
RAA! RAA! RAAAAA!
A prideful cry reverberated throughout the skies as the body of the Emperor Penguin shone in a gorgeous silver light, its flippers raised high in the air as its face adopted a condescending look towards its enemies. The atmosphere trembled as a blazing golden sun appeared in the skies above the Ice Giants, its extreme heat and weight descending down towards the giants as the flipper of the Emperor Penguin came down.
{Sin of Pride}, [Sun Throw] was used as a terrifying sun barrelled down at high speeds in the Icebound World. [White Dwarf Throw] was the enhanced version of this skill that Noah enjoyed as the <<Absolute Sin>> holder, and his harbinger of pride could strike down suns towards those that stood against him!
OOOOH!
"Burn, little ice giants, burn!"
An arrogant voice that seemed more like a command rang out from its beak as the Ice Giants felt themselves being brought to their feet in a kneeling position, their gazes turning towards the skies as they observed two more blazing suns appearing explosively in the skies as they barreled down towards them. This made it three suns that were now descending down at their position, and at the centermost of all this was a gloriously glowing golden penguin that seemed to be looking at them with eyes that only saw them as something less than bugs.
The King of the Ice Giants, Larruk, looked at this sight in dumbfoundedness as he felt the powerful strength he had always known leave his body as he thought a few last words.
’What the f.u.c.k was this?!’
BOOOOM!
...
Silence reigned in the battlefield after the explosion of three suns, the Frost Race looking towards where the King of Ice Giants stood only to find a scarred landscape with burning flames, the only thing left behind being burnt masses of bones. The large crystalline weapon that the King of Ice Giants carried was the only thing intact as all around the area, only death reigned.
Immense shock and slight fear entered their hearts as they turned to look towards their powerful helpers in the sky.
The others were looking at the penguin and shaking their heads because they felt a change in its aura at the last moment, realizing this penguin had released the limiter they decided to place on themselves and revealed its power at the Transcendent Rank!
Nearly all of them were in the Phantasmal level, with a few being in the Transcendent level after Noah gifted them with an abundant amount of Transcendent and Saint ranked [Cores] that they began absorbing instantly, causing their strength to skyrocket in this short period of time.
Since the world they were in only had at maximum beings of the Phantasmal levels, they had agreed to use the opportunity to train their skills through battle and not overpower everything through force!
Alas, the Emperor Penguin could not help itself as released not just a single sun, but three and directly killed the leader of the enemy forces in the first few minutes of the battle. It only scratched its head in embarrassment briefly before its arrogant eyes turned golden and it moved towards the enemies once more.
RAA! RAA! RAA!
The remaining Ice Giants trembled as they heard the terrifying battle cry again, feeling their knees grow weak as fear occupied their hearts.
The beings of the Frost Race and the Human Race looked at this as immense thrill came to their faces as they moved forward with vigor and power to claim their victory.
OOOOOOH!
The battle for the Icebound World that had started not too long ago, had actually found an untimely ending.
