Second World

Chapter 1813 1813. Cutting Through Directly

The next day, the ten people who previously entered the ancient battleground legacy dungeon together gathered again. These ten were Jack, Jeanny, John, Paytowin, Grace, Leavemealone, Domon, Jet, Fierce Flame, and Giant Steve. After having a brief discussion, the ten entered the legacy dungeon.

At this stage, all their levels were above or the same as the Herald of Greed who was a level 80 eternal grade. Grace was level 84. Fierce Flame was level 83. Paytowin, Jet, Giant Steve, and John were level 82. Domon was level 81. Jeanny and Leavemealone were level 80.

Their expertise had also increased since the last time they visited this ancient battleground. This time, they didn't stay behind during the first phase like before. They charged out with Jack, killing as many of Greed's black soldiers as possible.

Jack no longer had the skills from Divine God Blessing, but his current prowess and other skills still allowed him to kill as many of the black soldiers as the last time, if not more.

Since he had Reset, he didn't save the newly gained Sphere of Tiamat. The orb of purple flames appeared around his body when the skill activated. Any melee enemies who tried to attack him had their attacks blocked by the sphere.

When Azzarilth used the Sphere of Svalinn, she still received damage from attacks even if the damage was greatly reduced. This meant the Sphere of Svalinn only absorbed a portion of the damage. This was the same even after Azzarilth fused her chaos armor with her Sphere of Svalinn.

As for Jack's Sphere of Tiamat, it was a modified version granted by the seed of chaos. The chaos element was not only inherent, but the sphere also absorbed all damage directed at Jack. This meant Jack was invulnerable for as long as the sphere existed.

He also felt himself become stronger and faster. He zoomed forward. He caused damage to the enemies simply by bumping into them. The sphere dealt chaos damage to all enemies it touched.

Following around the sphere were flashes of sword lights. Jack was executing his sword art while moving. He also used Soul Asura, Dances of the Braves, and Phantom Blade. The multiple swords danced around him blindingly fast yet none of them clashed with each other. Every slash was executed with expert precision.

Even though Jack couldn't use the final phase of the formless flowing sword style, his sword art still improved. The sensations he had gotten from using the final phase during his mana awakening state let him achieve this small breakthrough. However, his real breakthrough after re-experiencing the sensation was his sword's heart. He was at the advanced stage already. This technique gave him better control and precision over his swords.

With the Sphere of Tiamat and sword art combo, Jack was as if a circular saw with many blades going through a pile of meat, cutting through everything he passed.

Therras and Spark were running along with him. Jack didn't use the Elevate Beast yet, just in case he needed to use it twice when fighting the Herald.

Jeanny and the others didn't use their big skills. They were saving those since they didn't have Reset like Jack, but they were not in trouble even without using those big skills. They stayed close to one another and worked with John at the center. He instructed them in a formation and they coordinated with his normal summons. This allowed them to survive without any trouble even by relying only on standard attacks and weak skills.

After leaving a sea of dead bodies, the time for the second phase finally arrived. This time, they didn't go through the secret path following the golden knights. Ever since they advanced when the battle started, they had been working their way to where the Herald and the supply carts were. They cut through the enemy army directly to their command base.

By the time the golden knights emerged from the secret path, they punched through the enemy army's back line and reached the area with the supply carts opposite from where the golden knights emerged from. Even though they did that in the open, the army didn't chase after them. The black soldiers just continued charging forward to defeat the pass. Most of the enemy army's movements were scripted, hence the black soldiers acted as if they didn't see Jack's team cutting through them and attacking their command base.

The Herald of Greed and his bodyguards also didn't act any differently. The herald remained seated while his bodyguards engaged the golden knights. No one came to Jack's team that was approaching the supply carts from the opposite direction.

The last time, a few enemies were guarding the supply carts. This gave them minor disruptions during their effort to destroy the supply carts. Currently, these few guards were also slowly making their way to the golden knights, they completely ignored Jack's team who came from the opposite side. Jack and the others were truly free to deal with the supply carts this time.

With that luxury, they went on to destroy the supply carts. The arrangement was the same as last time. The five with Hope's Sanctification only destroyed a certain number before they helped those without to destroy more supply carts.

After some time, they saw the Herald standing up. Jack signaled the others to gather. They advanced together until they saw the Herald starting to cast a spell. Jack used his Elemental God Barrier then, followed by them uniting their Hope's Sanctification onto John. John fired Hope's Light at the unsuspecting Herald of Greed.

After firing Hope's Light, Jack cast superior acceleration, for himself, Jeanny, and three other random targets. Jeanny used the increased speed to use her rune technique, Divine Dragon Spear, while Jack used it to cast the mega spell bestowed by Broidrireg, Wrath of the Ancient Dragons.

When the Hell Inferno was over, Jack's mega spell and Jeanny's rune technique were completed. Jack's spell conjured seven gigantic eastern dragons with seven different colors based on their elements. Each of the dragons possessed one of the elements. Light, dark, fire, ice, wind, earth, and lightning. Together with Jeanny's golden dragons, the multicolor dragons rushed toward the ball of light that engulfed the herald.
