Chapter 174: Fusion Attack



Chapter 174: Fusion Attack

“A fusion attack?” Listening to what the three of them were talking about, Herellia could not help but ask, attracting the attention of the three as they looked at her. With their attention on her, she decided to continue with her train of thought as she said, “Is it like Code 3 wherein everyone pooled in their energy to form a single skill?”

“Code 3? Master, what’s that~?” Charisa could not help but ask, to which Aurus promptly replied, “Charisa, it’s one of the skills of the alliance wherein they make a large barrier with the energy of multiple Inanimates.”

“Ahh, I see~!” Charisa said in response to Aurus’s answer. Not long after, Aurus then turned to look at Herellia and replied to her question, saying, “The fusion attack we have is a bit different from the fusion attack you know.”

“Although we do share our energy to form a skill…” Aurus said before adding, “We also fuse our bodies into one.”

“Eh? What do you mean by that…?” Herellia could not help but ask, with indecent thoughts that she did not recognize popping up in her mind. In response to that, Aurus let out a sigh before saying, “You know what? It’s better for us to just show the fusion attack right now rather than explaining it.”

“The earlier the barrier is broken, the better, right?” He then said to Herellia, radiating an aura of confidence.

“Well, yeah,” Herellia replied with an aura of affirmation radiating from her.

Whoosh!

After Herellia answered Aurus’ question, Aurus disappeared in front of her field of vision in an instant, teleporting to an area near the barrier before starting to hover a few meters above the ground. Just as Herellia was about to focus her sense of vision towards where Aurus appeared, she could not help but feel a strong breeze near her, realizing that Fenrir and Charisa, the two allies Aurus had summoned, were hastily flying towards where Aurus was.

It only took a few seconds for the two to arrive, with Fenrir positioning himself in front of Aurus while Charisa positioned herself behind him. Seeing as the two of them had positioned themselves exactly where they had to be in his memories, Aurus could not help but recall the time when he asked the two of them about fusion attacks.

A couple of days ago, Tower of Seclusion.

While Aurus was pondering as to what skills he could make into tricks that could turn the tides to their favor, he could not help but look at Fenrir and Charisa, who were arduously grinding their skills in silence. While looking at them, he could not help but recall the Ally system in his past life, as well as the multiple features that the Ally system had.

Eventually, he remembered a certain feature of the Ally system that would easily become a great trick up his sleeve that could allow him to dish out large amounts of damage. With that in mind, he decided to get closer to Fenrir and Charisa, interrupting them from their grinding for a while.”What is it, Master?” Fenrir was the first one to ask after being interrupted by their master. As for Charisa, she looked at their master with a curious expression.

“Have you two heard of fusion attacks?” Aurus asked the two of them. In response, both Fenrir and Charisa rummaged through the memories, eventually finding out that a certain part of their memories was solely dedicated to fusion attacks. With both of them radiating auras of affirmation, the two of them simultaneously replied, “Yes, Master.”

“Could you two check what kind of fusion attack forms are available for the three of us to use as one in your memories?” Aurus asked the two of them before commanding the system to show him a list of fusion attacks that all of three of them could use. “I just need to check if all of us have the same access in terms of fusion attack forms. Also, make sure it’s the strongest one.”

Ding!

A few seconds later, a holographic screen appeared in front of Aurus’ field of vision, giving him a broad list of fusion attacks he could use. Although the number of fusion attacks he could use was a lot, they were more or less subsidiary skills under an ultimate skill. These ultimate skills were the broad list of fusion attacks he could see, having the word ‘Form’ at the end.

“Tempest Gale Form is filled with fusion attacks that only needs me to fuse with Fenrir as the condition,” Aurus muttered before adding, “And Void Blaze Form is filled with fusion attacks that only needs me to fuse with Charisa as the condition.”

While reading through the broad list, Aurus could not help but recall what fusion attacks did back in ISE. According to his memories, fusion attacks were the only attacks that Inanimates could do which would allow them to triumph over Pseudo-Animates, and possibly, Animates as well. He remembered that fusion attacks did not only fuse the energy of the player and the allies into one big mass, it also combined the stats of each being in the fusion attack in a multiplicative manner, which bridged the gap in terms of stats.

Eventually, Aurus was finished recalling his old memories of great fusion attacks, looking at the four fusion attack forms that allowed him to fuse with Fenrir and Charisa together.

“Spiritas Magia Form, a form where I would be the main focus of the fusion.”

“Zephyrus Maxima Form, a form where Fenrir would be the main focus of the fusion.”

“And Infernalis Ultima Form, a form where Charisa would be the main focus of the fusion.”

Aurus could not help but become disinclined to choose the first three forms, remembering that these fusion attacks had calculations and stuff behind them. He commanded the system to show him the general formula of power for these forms, disappointed at the power they could show.

“Let’s see if this last form is the same,” Aurus muttered, taking a short glance at Fenrir and Charisa to see if they were done searching through their memories. Seeing as they were not, Aurus then went on and commanded the system to show him the general formula of power of this last form. Aurus could not help but radiate an aura of satisfaction as he said to himself, “This is the one!”

“Ignis Zephyr Anima Form, a form wherein the best qualities of each being would be bolstered to a superb extent,” Aurus read what was written on the holographic screen, closing the screen soon after. He firmly decided that this form would be the best form for him to use in the war.

He then looked at Fenrir and Charisa once more, noticing that the two of them were looking at him, waiting for him to talk. And so, Aurus asked the two of them, “So? What’s the strongest form the two of you have in your memories?”

Hearing this question, Fenrir and Charisa looked at each other for a while before looking back at Aurus and saying simultaneously, “Ignis Zephyr Anima Form.”

“Nice,” Aurus said in response to their reply. He then told them, “Could I ask you two to spare a bit of your time to be familiar with this form? We might need to use it in the war that’s coming soon.””Not a problem, Master~!” Charisa was the first one to reply, with Fenrir saying not long after, “As long as it helps the master.”

With an aura of slight happiness, he then muttered to himself, “I can’t wait to see the power of this form.”

Whoosh! Whoosh!

After making sure that they were positioned properly, Aurus then went ahead and shouted, “Release your full aura!”

Swoosh!

In an instant, Fenrir and Charisa released an aura that was more or less on par with Herellia when she did not use her full power. As for Aurus, he released an aura that was akin to the sun in the sky, giving everyone that looked at the three the feeling that the barrier could probably be broken by these three. As for Herellia, she could not help but become dumbfounded at the aura Aurus was releasing, surpassing even her aura when she was at her peak a while ago.

“How much power have you hidden from us?” Herellia could not help but look at Aurus like some sort of monster, slightly angry at the fact that he did not show all of it earlier. Nevertheless, by how he acted around her, she could not help but feel that this move of his could probably allow them to break through the barrier.

“Activate your domain skills!” With their auras at full power, Aurus then shouted these words, prompting Fenrir and Charisa to shout their skills.

“[Kingdom of the Tempest Monarch]!”

“[Eternal Realm of Yin-Yang Flame]!”

“[Boundless Spirit Domain]!”

Whoosh!

At the very instant the three had activated their domain skills, rather than collide with one another, they instead fused as one, giving birth to a domain that exuded an intense aura of flames, storms, and energy. This domain then enveloped the three of them, to which Aurus hastily shouted, “Now activate all of your status boosting skills!”

“[Tempest Monarch’s Supremacy]!”

“[Tempest Monarch’s Deification]!”

“[Yin-Yang Flame Ascension]!”

“[Divine Yin-Yang Orb Manifestation]!”

“[Grand Spiritas Deification]!”

“[One with the Divine]!”

“[Zenith Nihility Dash]!”

“[Dark Universal Blade]!”

“[Soul Transcendence]!”

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

With each status boosting skill being activated, the aura radiated by the domain intensified in strength, with the status boosting skills used by Aurus giving the highest improvement to the aura’s strength. At the exact moment the three of them were finished using all of their status boosting skills, the domain underwent a qualitative change, distorting into an orb that enveloped the three of them, with the landscape inside it being akin to an unending storm of chaos.

At this point, all of the alliance members could not help but stare at this orb, feeling fear and hope from the aura radiated by this orb. Even Herellia, who could not believe that such an aura could reach this level, felt that this orb would allow them to break the barrier.

On the other side of the barrier, Chonk, who was commanding the members of his army to charge their ultimate skills, could not help but sense an aura that was radiating from the alliance base. Noticing this, he could not help but try and look closer at the origin of the aura, seeing that an orb that shifted between red, green, and black, was hovering near the barrier.

“Oh no,” Chonk could not help but mutter to himself after he felt the aura that was coming out of the orb. The aura that was radiating from it far surpassed the aura the giant thorn radiated a while ago. He had a feeling that the aura radiated by this orb was around 30 to 50 times stronger than the previous one. With that in mind, he could not help but think pessimistically, asking himself, “Is that…actually going to break the barrier?”

He then looked at Horell and Chungus, who were busy charging their spells up behind him with an aura of concentration radiating from the both of them. He looked back at the orb, muttering, “If that doesn’t break through the barrier, then I could say without a doubt that we’ve won the war.”

With the landscape inside the orb being akin to a world of chaos, Aurus looked at Fenrir and Charisa with a serious aura surrounding him, while the two of them looked at him with an expectant aura around him, wanting to know what their next move was.

“Let us start the chant for the first move,” Aurus said in a serious tone before adding, “Fenrir, you start.”

“Alright, Master,” Fenrir replied to his master’s words before looking at the barrier in front of them. He then started to speak, “As the origin of the Zephyr, I shall become the blade that cuts through the world, slicing everything that comes across my path.”

Not long after, Aurus then said, “As the origin of the Anima, I shall become the tyrannical pole that wields the blade of destruction, allowing the blade to sweep across the heaven and earth with power and finesse.”

After Aurus was Charisa, saying, “As the origin of the Ignis, I shall become the power that propels the pole forward, becoming the envoy of judgment to those that come and hinder my path.”

With Charisa finished with what she had to say, a few seconds of silence ensued between the three of them. After that, the three of them started to speak as one.

“With the Orb of Resolution as our overseer and power source, we shall now fuse as one, the power of Chaos and Order inherent in our every move.”

Whoosh!

After saying that, the orb that enveloped the three instantly shrunk in size, splitting up into three orbs that barely covered the bodies of Aurus, Fenrir, and Charisa. Not long after, as if it was done by the hands of a deity, the bodies of the three gradually transformed as the orbs were absorbed by their bodies.

Whoosh!

In an instant, Fenrir, who was at the front of the formation, hastily transformed into a sharp blade that was about 50 centimeters long. On the dull end of it was a decently long piece of metal.Whoosh!

Not long after, Aurus transformed into a pole, which wrapped around the long piece of metal that jutted out the dull end of the blade, extending to a length of about a meter.

Whoosh!

And finally, Charisa transformed into what covered most of her body, flames. These flames emanated from the end of the pole, radiating a golden color. A second later, these golden flames then started to envelop the pole, and soon enough, the blade as well.

Swoosh!

After the golden flames covered the pole and the blade, a strong breeze started to emanate from the tip of the blade, taking on a light green color as it started to swirl around. It then went ahead and expanded to envelop the whole pole and blade as well. Surprisingly, rather than clash with one another, the golden flames and the green breeze coexisted with one another, increasing the power of each as the aura radiating from this pole and blade intensified even further.

“Ignis Zephyr Anima Form…” After all of that, the pole and blade started to move back, increasing the distance between it and the barrier as the voices of the three started to resound throughout the alliance hall.

“1st Divine Art…” After increasing the distance between it and the barrier to its limit, a large jet of flames burst from the blunt end of the pole, propelling it at high speeds as the green breeze vigorously swirled at the tip of the blade.

“[Fiery Tempest Naginata]!”

Bang!

Boing!
