Chapter 55: Four way Slaying
Crack!
The giant stone Titan flexed its massive shoulders, breaking Celestia’s purple gravity rings into bright sparks.
The thick ice around its legs shattered into flying shards as it prepared to swing its stone fists again.
"Now!" Leo roared, stepping forward with unstoppable force.
Elara Snowveil clapped her hands together, pushing all her refined frost mana into the floor.
"Glacial Soul: Zero Freeze!" Elara shouted with pure focus.
Her silver hair flared with bright blue light as she pushed her mana past its normal limits.
A freezing blizzard tore through the room, coating the Titan’s heavy torso in thick layers of white frost.
A pillar of absolute cold blasted directly into the Titan’s chest, turning the black basalt armor into pale, frozen stone.
The extreme cold made the thick rock brittle and full of tiny fractures.
White frost covered the monster’s chest, turning the tough basalt armor as weak as dry glass.
The beast let out a deep groan as the freezing magic locked its breath.
"Arcane Pierce: Star Cannon!" Celestia called out from the doorway.
Her three purple magic rings combined into one large circle in front of her palms.
The arcane light hummed with intense heat, ready to shatter the brittle rock.
A thick beam of concentrated purple arcane energy shot from her fingers, hitting the frozen chest with pinpoint precision.
Boom!
The frozen basalt armor exploded into thousands of tiny rock pieces, exposing the monster’s raw stone ribcage.
A cloud of purple sparks and black rock dust filled the center of the room.
The monster roared in pain as its main defensive plates shattered completely.
Black blood and hot steam poured out of the broken stone chest, filling the air with a hissing sound.
The beast tried to swing its left arm to crush Celestia, but Elara created a giant wall of solid ice to block the hit.
The stone fist smashed into the ice wall, sending blue crystals flying across the room.
"Seraphina!" Leo shouted as he jumped into the air.
Saintess Seraphina raised her silver prayer beads, pouring all her holy light into the open wound.
"Holy Light, reveal the false core!" Seraphina cried out with tears in her eyes.
A bright golden beam illuminated a hairline crack running right through the monster’s corrupted neck bone.
The golden ray burned away the dark void slime covering the crack.
It shone like a bright yellow beacon in the dark, showing Leo the exact spot to hit.
Leo leaped from a falling stone block, flying high toward the ceiling before turning downward in a vertical dive.
He focused all the heavy power of his living Black Sun core into his right fist.
The living black flame coiled around his heart purred with violent joy, releasing a wave of raw gravity power into his muscles.
His dark sleeve flapped wildly in the upward wind as he fell toward the beast.
The air around his arm twisted under heavy gravity, creating a screaming black vortex.
Boom!
Leo’s heavy fist hit the glowing crack in the monster’s neck with the force of a falling meteor.
The thick stone neck snapped in half, and Leo’s arm punched straight into the center of the beast’s chest.
His fingers locked around the pulsing, corrupted Titan core.
The purple core was as large as a man’s head, pulsing with violent, chaotic magic.
It tried to release a massive blast of dark lightning to push Leo away.
Leo’s living black flame flared up with overwhelming power, smothering the lightning instantly.
With a final, merciless squeeze of his dark power, Leo crushed the core into fine dust inside the monster’s body.
The red light in the Titan’s six eyes went dark instantly.
The heavy stone head dropped forward onto its chest with a dull crunch.
The giant arms stopped moving, resting heavily in the dirt.
The giant stone body went completely limp, crashing into the deep hole with a thunderous roar.
The dark poison smoke dissolved into harmless grey dust, leaving the air clean and fresh.
In ancient history books, people feared the power of the Black Sun as a world-destroying Calamity.
The church priests taught that the Black Sun was an evil dark flame that burned ancient empires to ash.
Yet the people on the surface had zero idea about the real truth.
The true Calamity of this world was not the Black Sun, but the Primordial Void God sleeping deep inside the earth.
The Black Sun was never the enemy of humanity.
It was the only natural predator created by the cosmos to hunt, eat, and destroy the Void God forever.
Leo pulled his arm out of the beast’s chest and landed safely on the rubble.
The massive corpse began to dissolve into dark grey dust, disappearing into the cracks of the floor.
His Black Sun core purred with deep satisfaction, having devoured the purest piece of ancient Titan mana.
Big stone blocks began to fall from the ceiling as the entire underground room entered its final collapse.
Leo did not waste a single second.
He gathered all three breathless women close to his body, wrapping his strong arms around them.
He kicked open the heavy iron door to the scholar escape passage, sprinting up the stairs just as fifty tons of rock buried the bath room forever.
Inside the quiet dark tunnel, Elara, Celestia, and Seraphina leaned against his warm body, their hearts beating together in sweet relief.
All three women looked at Leo with deep admiration and breathless devotion.
Elara clutched his left arm, Celestia rested her hand against his back, and Seraphina stayed safe in his right arm.
Their shared victory over the ancient Titan had wiped away all noble doubts and rivalries from their minds.
Leo walked up the stone path with firm steps, taking all three prized heroines back to the safety of his private room.
The danger in the crypt was over, but the bond between them had grown unbreakable.
Tonight, three of the highest-status women in the empire had fought beside him in the dark, and all three now belonged to Leo Vance.
