Mary released her Noble Phantasm, poured her magic power into the crystal horse, and then charged straight towards the touch of the demons.
"Ding--"
There was no explosion as expected. Instead, wherever the crystal horse touched, everything turned into crystal, and the touch of the demon was all wrapped in crystal.
Then, with a crackling sound, the crystals were completely destroyed, shattering the demon's touch contained within. It was because of this that Dion was saved.
"How about it, Dion? Can you continue to fight and protect this country with me again?" Mary, riding a crystal horse at this moment, came to the scarred Dion and said.
"This is outrageous, Queen. You actually used your precious Noble Phantasm on me."
After seeing Mary do this, Dion said this at first, but then immediately stood up, performed the etiquette of a knight, and said:
"However, if the Queen does not mind my fallen body, I will definitely continue to fight! I—Swordsman Dion—am still a knight of France!"
Mary, on her part, had survived the outer circle of the demon's touch attacks safely. As for Ritsuka and the others, with Siegfried and Mashu by their side, the tentacles wouldn't be able to do anything to them for a while.
On the other hand, the two Berserkers were completely different from the others. They were still fighting among themselves, with no intention of cooperating at all.
However, perhaps because of the frenzy, or perhaps because the red flames burned the entire area, under the raging fire, the Demon's Touch was unable to break through the line of fire and put pressure on them.
The battle between the two Berserkers had reached its most intense moment. Lancelot, his armor already ablaze, ignored the intense heat and was determined to break through to Qingji and cut her down.
Qingji opened her fans, and the crimson flames on her body transformed into blue flames, causing the surrounding space to begin to distort. It was as if she was determined to decide the outcome.
"Tenshin Kasho Zanmaii (Turn around and fire-generated samadhi)!!!"
“Ahh——!”
Qingji and Lancelot each released their own treasures, and the blue fire snake collided with the blue-glowing heavy sword wielded by Lancelot.
"boom!!!"
Just as the explosion sounded for Qingji and Lancelot, a huge explosion was also heard in another place not far from them. The ground collapsed at the explosion site, and a large amount of black fog gushed out from the cave like a black tide, and began to cover the entire battlefield.
"What...what happened again!?" Seeing the accidents happening one after another, the hostile servants were naturally extremely nervous.
However, it was the servants on the Chaldean side who couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, because they all knew the owner of the black fog.
Wang Chong flew out of the black fog with Atalanta and Martha.
Wang Chong did not rush towards the Demon Pillar immediately. Instead, he used the power of the black mist to continuously cut off the Demon's touch. At the same time, he pointed his finger and retrieved a servant who had caused him trouble.
The black mist enveloped Qingji's body and floated back. Apparently, Qingji had been knocked unconscious by the aftermath of the previous battle. Fortunately, Wang Chong arrived in time and protected her with the black mist.
As for Lancelot who was fighting with Qingji... Wang Chong pointed again, and the black mist bound Lancelot, then threw him straight towards the Demon Pillar.
"Heizhen, use the power of Ruler to force Lancelot to lock the enemy to the Demon Pillar." Wang Chong said lightly using black mist to transmit the message.
"Understood!" After Black Jeanne dodges the Red Eyes' direct gaze on the light column by controlling the flying dragon, she immediately uses her power without saying a word, forcing Lancelot to attack the Demon Pillar at all costs.
“Ahh——!!”
Lancelot shouted, adjusting his stance mid-air before aiming his heavy sword at one of the Red Eyes and thrusting it fiercely. Even as the burning and light from the Red Eye's gaze pierced through Lancelot's body, leaving him in tatters, Lancelot remained unwavering, thrusting his sword fiercely into the Demon Pillar's eye.
[Ka-ah!!!!]
A deafening roar erupted, the demonic sound causing everyone to freeze. If it weren't for the black mist concealing their bodies and positions, they would have been severely injured by the demon's touch due to this exposed flaw.
"After consuming the spiritual energy transformed from the spiritual veins of an entire country, can it be so powerful? It really cannot be underestimated."
After Wang Chong felt the power coming from the demonic sound and assessed his strength, he said this.
"Mr. Wang Chong!"
Seeing that it was Wang Chong, Lixiang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. The current situation was completely beyond her ability to handle. Fortunately, Wang Chong appeared in time, at least there was a glimmer of hope for the monster that looked like it could directly destroy the world.
Wang Chong seemed to hear Lixiang's voice through the black fog. He nodded in Lixiang's direction and then mobilized the power of the black fog again.
In a blink of an eye, Wang Chong lifted all the servants above the black fog and gathered them together. This even included some of the French soldiers who had survived, as well as Marshal Gil.
"What a powerful force... So he could have killed us directly a long time ago, right?" Camilla couldn't help but ask Vlad III beside her.
"Hmm...that's true. It seems he has been hiding his strength all along. Now that the monster has completely appeared, his true level has been revealed." Vlad III said as if he had realized something.
"Everyone, there are too many words to explain everything. I know that both my former companions and those who have fought with us before are confused and puzzled by the current situation."
"But there's only one thing I can tell you. There's only one true enemy, humanity's enemy, and that's the monster before us that distorts the world—its voice is enough to drive people mad, and its every move is enough to destroy the world."
"It is the most hidden culprit that destroyed France, and it is also the final boss that caused the distortion of this world - King Solomon's Demon Pillar." Wang Chong said.
Chapter 56 The Collapse of the World
"King Solomon? To think it would be like this..."
Giorgios, also a member of the Yahweh faction, reacted almost identically to Martha when she learned the truth after hearing the news. Wang Chong naturally observed Giorgios's identical expression.
After all, not long ago, when he, Martha, and Atalanta glimpsed the truth, Martha immediately recognized King Solomon's Demon Pillar and the legendary magic formation surrounding the Demon Pillar - National Sacrifice.
By sacrificing the entire country's luck and spiritual veins, the Demon Pillar is strengthened, giving it an astonishing power as if blessed by the will of the world, and it can raze the entire France to the ground in the blink of an eye.
“No wonder… no wonder I couldn’t find the vengeful spirits that Jill refined. Turns out they’re all here, forcibly transformed into part of the sacrificial ritual!”
Martha's expression became increasingly ferocious, and she was about to explode and shatter Gilles de Ray in front of her.
It can be said that once all the lives in France pass away, they will inevitably be attracted by this magic formation and turned into nutrients.
Not to mention the pool of blood not far ahead, where countless innocent French people were buried.
"You won't be able to stop it if you go now, and you'll only alert the enemy. The most urgent thing is to find a way to stop this magic circle."
Wang Chong said in a deep voice:
"Calm down. As long as we successfully stop and defeat him, everything in this world can be restored."
"Huh, I understand." Marda nodded, and then based on her memory, she quickly guided Wang Chong to the approximate area where the formation was to be broken.
Afterwards, Wang Chong used his magical perception to decipher the magic formation to a greater extent, and instructed Black Jeanne d'Arc and Jeanne d'Arc to follow his instructions and destroy the fulcrum of the spirit vein.
Wang Chong also took advantage of the moment when the fulcrum was destroyed and used the backlash of the spiritual vein to successfully and completely destroy the magic formation and knock down the Demon Pillar.
Then, the earth cracked, and the Demon Pillar was forced to appear. Wang Chong and his companions were slow to emerge because they were blocked by the collapsed rubble and the constantly surging Demonic Touch.
"That's roughly the situation... So I ask that you all join me in completely defeating this world-destroying monster."
Wang Chong briefly explained the underground magic formation. Fortunately, those present were all heroic spirits, and they immediately realized the seriousness of the situation.
After Wang Chong finished speaking, he flew directly towards the Demon Pillar, leaving everyone only a moment to make a decision.
"Then let's go, it's time to make this horrible monster disappear completely from the land of France!" Marshal Gil also realized the current situation and even though he was weak, he had to do his best.
"Well said, Jill." At this moment, Joan of Arc finally arrived from the spiritual vein.
"Lady Joan of Arc!" Marshal Gilles showed joy when he saw his old friend reappear in front of him.
"Everyone, the Demon Pillar should not be underestimated. Even with the Holy Grail's blessing, my alter ego can only barely attract its attention."
Joan of Arc said seriously:
"I will carry the banner and lead the way, protecting you. Follow me as we successfully reach the appropriate attack range. Everyone, unleash your Noble Phantasms without reservation, aiming for maximum destructive power to destroy that Demon Pillar!"
Although they had their own thoughts in the past, under the pressure of the demon pillar, at this moment they all silently followed Joan of Arc and rushed towards the demon pillar together.
"Bang bang bang!!"
At this time, the Devil's Touch hidden in the black fog emerged one after another. Although Wang Chong's black fog power was constantly eroding these Devil's Touch, its regeneration speed and Wang Chong's erosion speed just reached a delicate balance.
However, for Wang Chong, this was no big deal. Although the opponent had the blessing of the suppression of the spiritual veins of this world, to say that he could not defeat the Demon Pillar in front of him was really underestimating him.
"What a shame, Lancelot is gone. I wanted it to test the limits of this Demon Pillar a little more. And the damage it caused was too little. If only I had Chen Gong's Noble Phantasm."
Wang Chong glanced at Lancelot, who was completely destroyed by the Red Eyes and disappeared into a spirit particle, shook his head slightly, then clenched his hand, and the Blade of the Ruined King appeared in his hand again.
"It just so happens that I'm in the Ark World over there and haven't really exercised in a long time. Demon Pillar, can you still take my sword?"
Wang Chong rushed towards the Demon Pillar, ignoring the beam of light shot out from the opponent's red eyes, and drew out his greatsword. Without adding any of his own skills, he just made an ordinary full-strength slash.
With the help of the power of destruction, this slash even created a crack in the surrounding space, and then it slashed directly towards the first wave of light pillars.
"prick--"
A faint sound echoed, and the pillars of light melted away like snow upon flames at Wang Chong's slash, completely unable to resist. In an instant, the slash had already landed on the Demon God Pillar.
[Gah————!!]
The piercing sound caused Wang Chong to frown again. He could feel the AT field in his mind, representing mental defense, being triggered. Clearly, the level of mental pollution caused by this demonic sound was beyond the capacity of even a normal Servant.
As expected, Black Joan of Arc, who was blessed by the Holy Grail, covered her ears and endured the pain in her head because the distance was too close. As for the flying dragon under her feet, it fell directly like crazy.
Fortunately, Wang Chong used the power of black mist to attach to Black Jeanne d'Arc in time, allowing it to soar into the sky.
Even though they were some distance away and protected by Jeanne's Noble Phantasm, the people rushing over from afar were still quite shocked. The human Marshal Gil was particularly shocked, his facial features bleeding.
"Jill...you'd better stay with those soldiers and get away from the battlefield first." Joan of Arc said involuntarily.
"It's okay—in fact, the closer I get to that pillar, the stronger I feel... It's like there's some mysterious connection, constantly giving me strength... I think it's because of my future self."
Marshal Gil looked at the Demon Pillar, endured the pain in his head, and said with difficulty:
"I have a feeling that I might be the key to completely separating that guy from that pillar!"
Seeing Gilles say this, Jeanne could no longer dissuade him. Ritsuka, who was following beside him, continued to use her healing magic to restore Marshal Gilles' body so that he could continue to move.
While resisting the touch of the demon and the red-eyed light that took advantage of the gap to attack, everyone continued to approach the demon pillar.
After Wang Chong launched that strike, he did not move immediately because he discovered something very wrong.
When he had just launched this strike and was about to cut through the Demon Pillar, an unknown force actually consumed his black mist power and restored the Demon Pillar to its original state.
【It's a futile effort! 】
The Demon Pillar Andusias let out a slightly mocking demonic sound. The other red eyes glanced at Wang Chong from the side, giving him a mental shock and intimidation. The red eyes that were looking straight at him once again lit up with a crimson light, wanting to burn Wang Chong to death.
"Ruined King Sword!"
This time, Wang Chong ignored the light pillars and appeared in front of the Demon Pillar Andusias in a flash. With his sword moves, he slashed at Andusias again.
[Ga————!!!]
This time, the burst of demonic sound almost pushed Wang Chong away, but Wang Chong directly thrust his hand into the flesh of the Demon God Pillar, firmly fixing himself on the Demon God Pillar while continuing to corrode it with black mist.
"I see...so that's how it is."
Suddenly, Wang Chong's expression turned cold, and he stopped using the Broken King Sword. After drawing his greatsword, he immediately dodged to the side.
Just now, as his sword moves were superimposed and the damage to the Demon Pillar continued to multiply, Wang Chong clearly felt the collapse of this world.
Yes, it was literally collapsing, turning into nothingness from the edge, as if it was about to completely break away from the world's branch and shatter completely.
Although the Demon Pillar before him had not completed a complete magical ritual, it was ultimately entangled with a part of the principle underlying the foundation of this world.
The more Wang Chong used his extraordinary power to destroy the Demon Pillar, the more he would damage the world itself. In other words, Wang Chong was now effectively destroying this world.
Even the system gave me a prompt, saying that I had achieved the first step of destroying the world, which directly added 1000 villain points to my score.
【Haha, did you finally find out? 】
[Useless. Although I haven't completely completed the ritual, I'm ultimately entangled with the principles of this world. If you use a power beyond the capacity of this world to destroy me, you will only accelerate the collapse of this world.]
Ultimately, even if the singularity world disappears, a completely blank point in human history will appear, leaving an unbridgeable gap in human nature. It will no longer be stable.
"So what? Even if I can't use power beyond the capacity of the world, the worst that can happen is that I can just divide that power and completely wear you down. It'll just take a few more rounds of effort. It's also a good opportunity to let you experience what it means to be cut into pieces!"
Wang Chong sneered, then waved his hand, projecting a large amount of black mist power from behind him, forming a number of small mist knives like scalpels. Then, like a skilled surgeon, he began to carefully peel and scrape the skin of the Demon Pillar!
[Uh--!! Okay, very good... But the more you cause me pain... the greater my response will be - the time for awakening has come!]
However, the Demon Pillar, which was suffering from torture, was emitting more and more black and red auras, and those strange auras were constantly drawn towards the center of the Demon Pillar.
The entire Demon Pillar was filled with an indescribable spiritual pressure, like a volcano about to erupt.
Afterwards, many headless monsters holding different musical instruments appeared around the Demon Pillar, and they were about to play the sound that symbolized the foreshadowing of the collapse of the world.
[Noble Phantasm——"Rhapsody of Andusias"! !]
The author says:
Author's words: Today is my birthday, so I only have one update. I will find a way to make up for it later. QAQ
Chapter 57: Conquering Music with Music
[Noble Phantasm——"Rhapsody of Andusias"! !]
The headless monsters played their instruments one after another, and the air seemed to ripple. Before the sound could reach them, an invisible wave had already made everyone, including Wang Chong, pause.
Wang Chong reacted instantly and spat out, "The world! THE WORLD!"
A golden shadow appeared behind Wang Chong, and a golden domain unfolded, and everything came to a standstill.
