Chapter 1284: Disappointment (1)
It happened quickly.
One of the Cavern, a particularly ugly and tall one with large, gorilla-ish arms and a spiked tail, stormed towards Skullius with insane speed. It almost seemed as though he had simply spawned close to the Hybrid Warmoth, but of course...
The [Entropy's Harmonising Nimbus] was jealous and overprotective. Once the Cavern was within ten meters of Skullius, it came to an abrupt halt, much to its own surprise.
Dozens of stitches made of merigold Ju`wtte had fastened it to the fabric of space on Aigas, and it was completely immobilised!
The Cavern didn't even get a chance to struggle because its dark body was suddenly coated in a heavy sheet of purple-gold ice. Whitish vapour rose the shiny, sleek sculpture that remained - entrapped Cavern.
The cloud Skullius was adorned with restricted anything Skullius saw as unfriendly from reaching close to him with the Ju`wtte empowered Melding Stitches, [Maximum Frost] and [Frigid Time]. The latter two were Skullius' new Exotic Parlous Natures.
'Hmmm... It's not dead,' Skullius noted.
The frozen Cavern had yet to kick the bucket.
Another Cavern, clearly wary of getting close now because of the fate of its companion, took to the skies and brandished its black-gold spear. Skullius watched it closely. He judged that it was about to use its innate ability as he didn't sense any Amras in use.
And indeed the creature did.
With a vicious, downward swing of its spear, the Cavern sent forth what looked like a visible, tangible slash made up entirely out of miniature versions of itself, swarming and colliding!
The slash moved at a speed comparable to light, but what it was capable of, Skullius' would not get to know.
Hundreds of miniature stitches stopped the slash in its tracks and then it froze completely.
The Cavern to sent out the attack was alarmed. Skullius was disappointed.
'He actually expected that attack to do something?' he thought.
With a silent command, he made the [Entropy's Harmonising Nimbus] respond. The lead grey cloud suddenly turned luminous as volts upon volts of Ju`wtte wriggled like demented worms within it. It charged and charged, and then abruptly, the cloud emitted blinding orange light, turning its master into a bright flare!
The entire ravine was then baptised in the glaring light, yet as that happened, a bolt of Ju`wtte nearly as thick as the Warmoth's Spine, silently streaked out of the nimbus and connected to its foe in the skies who belated realised that he was screwed.
The devastation that followed left the noise that should have come from it behind.
Before the glare that had been cast about could fade, the entire ravine, the peaks, river and all, became dust, as did the greenery in the surroundings within five kilometers. Their soft remains rose and whirled in the air like a ghostly twister.
And then the deafening booms, the grating crashes and the faint splashes and sizzles of water evaporating from the impact ensued.
This was the result of the merigold Ju`wtte, which had already been powerful enough to effortlessly harm a being like Jiggorrhax, empowered by 1,500% because of the [Entropy's Harmonising Nimbus].
The recipient of the attack was left as a fading, crumbling dark mass that fell from the sky pitifully, so pitifully in fact that Skullius himself frowned.
'Is this it? Is this really what even the weakest Divines amount to?' he thought, severely disappointed.
The remaining Cavern did not move in for the attack. They were wary, but not quite afraid. This gave Skullius hope.
Yes. There must surely be more to these guys then!
...!
From the charred corpse falling from the sky, a soul so firm and well-defined that it looked no different to the body it just left - when it was in prime condition, that is - stormed to the ground and landed by the largest Cavern.
The great creature did not take its eyes off Skullius. It plunged its flaming saber into the ground and laid its now free hand over the head of the soul of the other Cavern.
"Hmm?"
Skullius felt Amras get channelled from the great Cavern and then, to his surprise, the soul standing next to it started to grow bulging balloons of flesh that shrank and formed a whole new body for it!
His Amras, richer and more powerful than that of any of the Cavern here, was mobilised, and Skullius used a Second Grand Tier Andori to attack.
[Elusive Meta Carver]!
It started with one, unseen swiping slash, like a crazy whipping blow that struck the Cavern
from shoulder to side. A thin, but very deep cut was left on the creature. But then two more came one the other way across the chest, and the last across the face. The slashes landed with a crackle akin to that of thunder, merciless. The sheer force of the last slash sent the Cavern's soul flying down like a comet.
It was ripped, and torn into two pieces from the face.
At that moment, Skullius had prepared to deal with the incoming foes when...
