Worlds’ Apocalypse Online

"We've been flying for almost a day already, how tall is this mountain exactly?"

『 This mountain is called Reaching Heaven, I'm not sure how much longer we need to fly in order to reach the top either 』

…

The wind continuously howled.

Gu Qing Shan was still flying straight up along the steep inner walls of the mountain.

In the darkness below him, an intense and constant sound of impact could be heard from the wall.

-------the monster was rapidly chasing after him following the inner walls.

『 Be careful, it's catching up to us 』

Li An reminded him.

Gu Qing Shan pondered a bit, then reached his hand out and clenched his fist.

Death Match Dance!

The void of space cracked open, from which a skeleton jumped out.

"Go stop that monster" Gu Qing Shan ordered.

The skeleton nodded, picked up a large battle axe from the void of space, then began flying down the wall.

『 That skeleton won't be a match for that monster 』Li An told him.

"I know"

Gu Qing Shan turned to the void of space again after saying that.

As the void of space fluctuated, another skeleton emerged.

This skeleton was carrying a large sledgehammer on its shoulder and immediately dived down as soon as it appeared.

Gu Qing Shan clapped both hands and shouted: "All at once!"

From the void of space behind him, skeletons began to spawn one after another, each carrying with them a weapon of choice as they dived downwards.

Below.

The sounds of combat could be heard from afar.

Time slowly passed by.

About a minute later, all of the clamor had ceased.

The monster was once again rapidly approaching Gu Qing Shan.

Li An worriedly said: 『 You're currently flying upwards, and those skeletons can't fight while they're not under your control to stop the monster from advancing, what now? 』

Gu Qing Shan replied: "We're going to stop it now"

He drew the blade from his hip.

-----this blade was already broken in half, but Gu Qing Shan still held it in his hand without worry.

Raising the blade into the sky, he lightly waved it.

A crimson bolt of lightning emerged from the void of space and condensed itself where the blade was broken, manifesting into a crimson blade.

[Lightning Wraith]!

Wielding the blade with both hands, Gu Qing Shan swung it down with all his strength.

A gigantic crimson blade of lightning flew out from the blade, crackling and booming as it traveled down the vertical inner walls into the darkness.

A few moments later.

A furious roar could be heard from below:

"I… will definitely… kill you!"

Gu Qing Shan silently listened, then suddenly turned his vision towards the broken blade in his hand.

Crack crack crack-------

The broken blade began to give off cracking noises.

Very quickly, the entire blade became separated into numerous tiny pieces as it scattered in mid-air.

The blade was already broken during his fight against the Heavenly Devouring Gu Insect, and now that it had been used as the medium for Tribulation Lightning a second time, it finally couldn't endure the abuse anymore and shattered.

"Tch…"

Gu Qing Shan felt a bit regretful.

I wish I had a sword right now.

Heaven, Earth, Chao Yin, Shannu, if I had any of them, even with my strength currently being sealed, I wouldn't have been in so much trouble that I would have to flee.

While he was thinking, Li An spoke up again:

『 You've angered it, I think it's accelerating with all its strength----- 』

Gu Qing Shan looked down and sure enough felt a terrifying degree of killing intent from the darkness.

The killing intent was entirely focused on him, and it was rapidly approaching.

『 Hurry up and think of something! 』Li An called out.

"It's ok, I just wanted to see whether or not Tribulation Lightning would be effective" Gu Qing Shan replied.

『 Although Tribulation Lightning contains power to be in awe of, a monster sealed within the Elements War Zone after the Samsara had reset itself wouldn't be so weak that it could be killed by Tribulation Lightning 』Li An said.

"That's true, my thought process was a bit off" Gu Qing Shan admitted.

He clenched his fist and punched himself in the chest again.

Divine Sword, [Repelling Evil]!

The direction of his flight was suddenly changed.

------he was no longer flying parallel to the inner walls, but was instead flying straight towards it.

『 You're going to crash! 』Li An raised her voice.

"It's ok, that's exactly what I was after" Gu Qing Shan replied.

He adjusted his body so that he lightly landed on the wall on all fours, then some arcs of lightning began to radiate from his body.

--------[Lightning Wraith]

Boom!!!

In an instant, his entire body turned into a bolt of lightning that rapidly ascended the inner wall.

------thanks to the force from [Repel Evil], he wouldn't move away from the inner wall as he ran up, and he wouldn't fall down either.

And thanks to the speed of [Lightning Wraith], he managed to escape the monster's pursuit in an instant, quickly widening the distance between them.

In the darkness, only a bolt of lightning could be seen rapidly moving upwards, exactly the same as a reverse shooting star.

Li An spoke again, this time with a bit of a sigh in her voice:

『 I've always known that you were a man of excellent mind, always capable of coming up with a countermeasure to any problem you face, but only now could I truly see just now terrific your combative talents are. This is already beyond the limits of imagination 』

"You praise me too much, I'm merely running for my life right now, I still haven't thought of a way to kill it yet" Gu Qing Shan replied.

『 Do you intend to kill that monster? 』Li An asked.

"That's right, it impersonated my senior brother and junior sister, this is its death wish without a doubt, but I haven't thought of a way to catch it yet" Gu Qing Shan replied without changing his expression.

A faint killing intent could be felt radiating from his body.

Li An pondered for a bit and explained: 『 I've heard of this monster before, the most powerful among the monsters of the Elements War Zone. Apparently, a large reason why the five main Elements are chaotic was because of its existence 』

Gu Qing Shan was surprised at this information and asked: "What exactly is that monster? Why does it have so many body parts?"

Li An replied: 『 Years ago, when the great tomb appeared in the Tomb of Myriad Beasts, numerous void monsters had assumed that a new treasure trove was discovered and gathered in an attempt to compete for the treasures of the Samsara 』

"I know about that. The void monsters ended up being trapped inside the great tomb, unable to leave" Gu Qing Shan followed up.

『 That's right, so when the Samsara had reset itself, they were almost eradicated as well, but they very quickly realized this. In order to avoid that from happening, they resolved themselves to fuse with each other and become the single most powerful void monster 』Li An explained.
