The arm was immensely huge, its palm spread out as tall as a person, displaying a blood-red hue. The texture of the arm’s muscles was visible, along with some exposed bones, as if it were the arm of a giant not yet fully formed.
This massive arm tore through the seemingly indestructible Cage of Thorns, relentlessly reaching for Kom, Koyt, and Kilaen, who were hiding beneath layers of thorny vines.
When the three cast their elven magic, they had to merge their mana as one, requiring them to stand together. At this moment, they were at their most vulnerable, surrounded by exceptionally tough thorny vines growing around their bodies. Yet, these vines were still gripped tightly by the giant palm. Amid cries of pain, the three were pushed out by the enormous hand.
Boom!
The giant arm slammed the three against a boulder at the edge of a cliff.
This astonishing scene left Old Merlin, Leisha, and the other two frozen in shock. They glanced at the three, pressed against the rock, spitting blood, then turned to look at the source of the massive arm.
Ye Chui stood amidst rapidly wilting thorns, one end of the arm seemingly extending from his body. This giant arm was not an enlarged version of Ye Chui’s own arm; they could see his hand fused within the muscle structure of the arm, making it appear more like a giant gauntlet controlled by Ye Chui.
Ye Chui had summoned only a single arm, with some incomplete bone structures swirling around his body. At this moment, his strength seemed exhausted, panting heavily. The iPad spellbook quickly faded and vanished, and the strange blood-red giant arm dissipated into nothingness. With a thud, the three mages, pressed against the boulder, fell to the ground, groaning in pain.
Ye Chui’s body swayed, barely avoiding a fall. He brushed aside a few strands of hair covering his eyes, taking a deep breath. “Summoning a giant is bloody exhausting…”
After unlocking his playback library, Ye Chui could summon heroic spirits by unlocking videos and gain power enhancements through music.
Summoning heroic spirits consumed points, while background music (BGM) consumed his mana.
When Ye Chui used BGM, he gained a power boost and abilities related to the specific track. For instance, playing “A Man Should Strive” granted him the combat skills of Wong Fei-hung, while using “Bow of Crimson Lotus” gave him the titan transformation powers of the song’s protagonist.
After facing apostles, Ye Chui began to wonder if he could unlock massive heroic spirits like EVA, Gundam, Pacific Rim mechs, or even Naruto’s Susanoo. However, the points required to unlock such entities were astronomical for him. So, he settled for the next best option: Attack on Titan.
This anime featured giants, with the protagonist capable of titan transformation. If Ye Chui unlocked the entire anime with points, he could summon a titan as a heroic spirit, but the cost was still beyond him. Fortunately, he could unlock just the BGM to gain a portion of the protagonist’s power.
The “Bow of Crimson Lotus” BGM cost Ye Chui 350 points, but it was absolutely worth it.
However, his mana was too low, allowing him to summon only a single titan arm, which could last for less than five seconds.
But those five seconds were enough.
Looking at Kom and the others, sprawled on the ground with countless broken bones, Ye Chui smiled. “I wonder what the full titan’s power would be like.”
Ye Chui’s battle ended, and Debbie and Camilla’s summoner battle was also nearly decided.
At the start of this summoner battle, Camilla summoned her strongest heroic spirit.
Camilla was a cautious woman. Though she admitted to underestimating Ye Chui and Debbie earlier, seeing Leon killed was enough to make her wary of this seemingly unthreatening girl. Thus, she summoned her strongest heroic spirit right away: a summoning gate opened above her head, and a swordsman figure descended, merging into her body.
Camilla was a summoner, yet she wore a swordsman’s attire.
This was because her strongest heroic spirit was a powerful swordsman, a possessing spirit. When this swordsman spirit merged with her, she became a formidable swordsman.
“Arrogant girl, take my sword!”
A dual-toned roar came from Camilla’s mouth, one voice hers, the other a gruff male voice. She drew the longsword at her waist and charged fiercely at Debbie.
However, when she was two metres from Debbie, a golden flash appeared. Clang! The clash of swords sent powerful golden sword energy surging, forcing Camilla’s figure to stumble back. The immense impact left two grooves in the ground from her legs. Her face showed shock, her dual-toned voice exclaiming, “Golden sword energy… You can actually summon a heroic spirit with golden sword energy?”
The krypton gold swordsman Gilga stood before Debbie, gripping a longsword, standing tall in the wind, clad in a golden battle skirt, not her usual casual attire.
“I told you already. Did you think the vice-president of the town’s top guild is just for show?” Debbie said proudly, hands on hips. “Gilga, don’t hold back. Beat her!”
“As you command, Miss Debbie.”
Gilga responded with spirited resolve, pointing her golden longsword at Camilla.
“Aaah! Even if you have a golden sword energy heroic spirit, you’re just a teenager. Your spirit can’t be that strong!” Camilla’s dual-toned voice roared. Gripping her sword with both hands, she charged at Gilga.
Gilga swung her sword to meet the attack, but as Camilla approached within a few metres, her body suddenly wavered. Then, her figure split into five: the advanced sword technique, Sword Shadow Clone.
Gilga frowned slightly.
This technique used sword energy to create clones. The clones weren’t very strong, but with four decoys and one real figure, it often allowed for unexpected combat strategies.
Four of the figures quickly surrounded Gilga, restricting her movements in an instant, while the remaining clone rushed at Debbie.
Those familiar with summoner combat knew that no matter how powerful the summoned heroic spirit, killing the summoner would make the spirit vanish.
“Whoa!” Seeing the clone charging at her, Debbie’s smug expression turned to surprise.
But the little girl wasn’t helpless. She quickly sprang into action.
Swish!
The sword shadow clone swung its longsword, aiming for Debbie’s waist.
But as the sword passed, Debbie had already vanished.
The clone looked up in surprise, only to see Debbie’s petite figure floating in mid-air.
Behind Debbie, the little Valkyrie Jiji was grabbing her shoulders, her tiny wings, barely larger than chicken wings, flapping furiously. The little girl looked like she was using all her strength, teeth gritted, tears almost streaming down. “Jiji, jiji, heavy…”
Debbie, hands on hips, was smug again. “I’ve got a flying heroic spirit. Bet you didn’t see that coming!”
Camilla: “…”
At that moment, Gilga let out a long cry and leapt into the air. As an experienced combat heroic spirit, she knew how to deal with troublesome clone techniques. Golden light burst from her body, and sword energy radiated from her golden longsword.
Golden Sword Technique: Golden Rain Fall
This was Gilga’s most powerful sword technique. Previously, she hadn’t fully unleashed its power, either due to limited gold reserves or spatial constraints. But now, with no such limitations, she could fully display the technique’s complete power.
As the skill was released, golden sword energy poured down like pillars of rain.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The ground was bombarded indiscriminately.
