Chapter 524: Starting the War

"Only when we got close did I realize, this guy is practically a natural disaster!" Luo Yexi said, gazing at the gradually clarifying, massive figure of the Scorpio.

"Lingyun, are you carrying a Spark Lens on you?" Chen Jing suddenly blurted out.

"A Spark Lens?" A bunch of question marks appeared over Lingyun's head.

"A monster has appeared, isn't summoning Ultraman the standard procedure?" Chen Jing said to Lingyun with a grin.

"Facing a giant monster that stands four hundred meters tall and possesses formidable regenerative abilities, even Ultraman would find it quite tricky, right!" Lingyun said.

"Mr. Lingyun, what is an Ultraman?" Senju Kayo asked with a puzzled look on her face.

"About that, there are films in the town; you can go watch them when you have time." Lingyun patted Senju Kayo's head.

"Screeeeeeeee—"

The Scorpio, closing in on this location, suddenly let out an angry roar, and a powerful sound wave rolled straight toward the direction of Lingyun and his group.

An invisible Protective Qi Shield suddenly rose up around Lingyun, enveloping Xiaona and Senju Kayo within it, insulating them from the assault of the sound wave.

"To this guy, we probably don't look any different from ants!" Saeko Busujima rubbed her head.

Suddenly, an anomaly occurred. The sea surface, which had been churning constantly due to the Scorpio's movement, suddenly sprouted specks of white light. Immediately following, amidst a harsh "Crack!" sound, the white light spread rapidly, and the churning sea instantly stilled, transforming into a world of white.

The Scorpio, caught off guard while in motion, was instantly frozen within the massive ice.

"Frost Funeral!"

A white figure slowly descended from mid-air, then wrapped her arms around Lingyun's arm.

"Esdeath, when did you get back?" Lingyun asked with some confusion.

"I just got back too. I heard from those children that you were in this place, so I came over," Esdeath said. "Is this the prey you've set your sights on? It really is a big guy."

"If that's all there is to it, it won't be able to hold this guy!" Lingyun said.

"Crack, crack—" A large number of cracks suddenly appeared on the ice surface. Afterward, it began to crumble continuously.

The immense power brought by its huge body meant the thick ice layer couldn't hold it for long. In just a few minutes of Kung Fu, the giant ice block was completely shattered by the Scorpio's brute force. Floating on the sea filled with broken ice, the Scorpio let out another angry roar.

"It seems ordinary cold air is useless against this guy!" Su Wanyue said, knitting her brows.

"Whether ordinary cold air can even penetrate its skin is a question!" Lingyun flicked his hand, and dozens of Sword Qi beams were whipped out from his hand.

"Hum—" The Sword Qi beams Lingyun whipped out expanded rapidly in mid-air, instantly transforming into giant Sword Qi blades dozens of meters long, slamming heavily into the Scorpio's body.

"Clang, clang, clang—" Sparks erupted all over the Scorpio. Although the Sword Qi tore through the Scorpio's skin, it couldn't penetrate very deep. And such injuries, for the Scorpio, were things that could be recovered from in just a few breaths.

"Hmm, wait, the wounds aren't healing?" Luo Yexi's gaze suddenly fell upon the wounds Lingyun had carved out.

"The Sword Qi is hindering the healing of the wounds, but Lingyun only used a casual strike, and the power wasn't very strong. In other words, do Gastrea have a relatively low resistance to things from the mysterious side?" Saeko Busujima said.

"Four Suns Burning the Wild!"

The Nine Suns Heavenly Sword in Luo Yexi's hand was drawn with a clang, and four golden-red Fireballs suddenly appeared in mid-air, transforming into countless Sword Qi beams that surged majestically toward the Scorpio.

The other girls present also attacked simultaneously, and several different attacks bombarded the Scorpio.

"Is this the true strength of the founder of Lingyun Town?" Senju Kayo watched the attacks of Lingyun and the others, asking in a daze.

"That's right, this is Brother Lingyun's true strength." Xiaona nodded vigorously from the side.

"Boom—" Sparks exploded on the Scorpio's body, but these injuries were all ignored by the Scorpio, relying on its massive size.

"Tch, ordinary attacks don't seem to have much of an effect on this guy!" Chen Jing stopped her attacks and said. "In this situation, do we really have to call out a massive existence to cause it effective damage?"

"This kind of opponent is interesting!" A smile appeared on Esdeath's face; a pair of ice wings suddenly condensed behind her, and she flew into the sky.

"Crack, crack—" Ice crystals continuously spread from her hands, forming a giant ice sword dozens of meters long.

"Slash—" Esdeath let out a soft shout and swung the sword down heavily, instantly tearing a large gash in the Scorpio. Cold air continued to spread near the wound, preventing it from healing.

"Screeeeeeeee—"

Suddenly suffering heavy damage, the Scorpio let out a roar, and a giant tentacle swept toward Esdeath in mid-air.

"Star Gang—" Chen Jing's figure suddenly appeared in mid-air, and she punched heavily toward that tentacle.

Amidst a violent roar, Chen Jing was sent flying directly by the immense force. But the Scorpio's tentacle didn't fare any better; pale purple fluid splashed everywhere, and a large gash was punched directly into it by Chen Jing.

Lingyun's figure appeared in mid-air, reaching out to catch the flying Chen Jing, and he spun in mid-air to dissipate the massive force on her body.

"This guy's skin is really tough!" Looking at her bleeding knuckles, Chen Jing flexed her fingers and said.

"To be able to support such a massive body in movement, how could its skin not be tough." Lingyun reached out and tapped Chen Jing on the forehead. "You only just broke through, how could you be this guy's opponent in a head-on confrontation!"

"I know, I know!" Chen Jing stuck her tongue out at Lingyun. "Besides, this wasn't just my attack alone!"

As soon as she finished speaking, a phoenix cry rang out, and the firelight reddened the horizon. Su Wanyue held dual swords, transforming into a phoenix to completely sever the tentacle that had been heavily damaged by Chen Jing.

"Blood Moon Funeral!"

Akame's face was as calm as water. The Samurai Sword in her hand traced a sharp arc, and a blood-colored blade aura erupted, instantly severing the Scorpio's second tentacle completely.

Having lost two tentacles in succession, the Scorpio roared, its remaining left eye rotating constantly, and the remaining six tentacles danced, slapping toward the people in the sky like a gale.

"I say, are you ignoring us!" The Shura Blade in Saeko Busujima's hand was suffused with blood-colored mist, and a giant ghost-god phantom appeared behind her.

"Great Shura Slash!"

The blood-colored blade aura arrived, piercing the air and severing the Scorpio's third tentacle.

"Five Suns Scorching the Plains!"

Five giant golden-red Light Balls appeared in mid-air, then merged into one giant Nine Suns Heavenly Sword, slashing down at the Scorpio's head.

The Scorpio let out a hiss, and the remaining five tentacles layered over one another, meeting the giant sword that was splitting the sky.

Only a golden-red light was seen shining; the Scorpio let out a mournful cry, and the five tentacles were severed all at once, falling into the sea and splashing up waves that filled the sky.
