Chapter 306: Against The Abyssal Miasma Army! 3
-----
After having rescued Westwind from the Abyssal Legion of monsters that were emerging from the depths of Terra, Yurei, the Ghost Manor of Frank, and the house of Gwendolyn, had decided to join the battle and grid for some needed EXP.
Her size had increased a lot since she absorbed the manor that Frank and everyone else bought, and she was even expanding in size as she flew towards the surface of the battle, her entire body was shapeshifting and growing bigger, taking into a monstrous shape as she grew four large limbs resembling gigantic claws made of wood!
Her phantom extended over her body as it released countless ghost-like specters, emerging from her body and then transforming into phantasmal blue flames, flashing towards the ground, and loudly exploding around the miasma creatures, burning them alive!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Her claws reached the floor as she began to move at an impressive speed despite her immense weight, rushing through everywhere as if she had become a dog, slashing, and bombing anything within her path.
Thanks to the combined efforts of everyone, the army of seemingly endless monsters made of miasma, which were often called Abyssal Legion, were already being contained quite well, and as they were slain more and more, their numbers began to slow down incredibly quickly!
Frank continued to clean the army of abyssal creatures with his breath attacks and a multitude of other long-ranged attacks, blasting anything through his path.
…And collecting loot.
Frank couldn\'t believe his eyes, but it was real.
Whenever he killed these "real" monsters that were not from the Instant Hunting Domains, items would emerge.
Piles of gold would come out of nowhere, jewels, magic potions, elixirs, dropped materials, and even themed equipment sets!
However, these gold piles were not normal gold, as they converted into App Points when he touched them, while the Jewels were named Attribute Jewels, and gave him a bit of stats when he consumed them, which he had tried already.
Additionally, these monsters possessed Mana Cores which would also just appear as dropped items magically whenever their corpses were squashed.
The items he was getting the most were things named Chaos Elixirs, which were all B-Grade, and when he consumed them, he gained a small, tiny bit of inner meaning of the Chaos Law!
The amazing Ring of Treasures was perhaps the greatest item he could have ever gotten in that Quest, and he thought that perhaps this was simply an extension of his Trait Ability as well, which simply needed this trigger, this strange ring, to appear!
And even more, Frank was grinding EXP like crazy, he wanted to grab as much power as possible.
But he was not earning EXP from only the things he killed, but from all his allies slaying monsters, it was like a party quest in an MMORPG! …Except that everyone here was fighting for the fate of the world, so perhaps it wasn\'t a good way to put it.
However, Frank noticed that only the monsters HE killed dropped items, while the others simply didn\'t. Sadly, his Ring ability didn\'t extend to his allies… yet.
But it said that if the Ring could upgrade into a higher Grade, it would most likely give more abilities, and perhaps within those abilities, giving his allies the power to gain loot from the monsters they slew could be made real.
"Grryyyaarrr…!"
However, the surface began to crack once more, as an enormous downpour of miasma began to come out like an erupting volcano!
BOOM!!!
Frank quickly alerted everyone in time, as most managed to get away, although others were covered in slimy miasma, which was boiling as hot as magma, and also had acidic properties.
Nonetheless, most people here were not normal at all and survived the flaming hot miasma, which was quickly purified by Kamei flying around as if she were an angel, conjuring holy light magic on anyone affected.
However, suddenly, an enormous entity began to emerge from down below… but this wasn\'t the Demon King!
"GRRUUUOOOOHHH…!"
It was a gigantic mass of bones, billions of fossilized bones stuck together with slimy black miasma, groaning furiously as it moved outside of the crater, it had no form, but the size was around 100 meters!
Frank quickly analyzed it, seeing what it was…
"Rank 8 Miasma Amalgamation…" he said, seeing that it possessed an enormous black Core within it, and hunger quickly took hold of him as he decided to take this creature as his prey.
Frank quickly gave a loud groan, as he used Telepathy to communicate with everyone…
The order was simple… attack with everything you got!
The enormous army of allies that Frank had gathered through all this time roared, raising their weapons and conjuring their magic, as the enormous and formless beast began to be showered with a spectacle of multiple colors as if countless fireworks began to fall asunder!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
"GRUUOOOOOHH…!"
The monster didn\'t falter, however, as it used its own body as an attacking method, beginning to fire building-sized balls of slime, which were in fact like little clones of itself!
Everyone began a raging battle against the flying copies of the monster, which is used as projectiles.
Frank charged into the frontlines, using his enormous dark Dracolich form to fall over the slimy creature, getting covered all over with miasma as he began to tear it apart and devour everything with his Gluttony!
Countless blades of pure white light, Fate Blades rushes as well, flashing everywhere and slicing through the beast, although it seemed fairly immune to these attacks, when Frank made them explode, the damage was more evident!
Frank quickly realized the creature was mostly immune to physical attacks, so he began to use explosive magic to slowly evaporate its entire body, while also receiving the aid of everyone else above the skies.
Meanwhile, as Frank roared monstrously while being covered with miasma, the Heroes of the world, who had been gathered by Reuberto finally made their way into Westwind…! But found only an enormous crater and gigantic monsters emerging from it, one that resembled some kind of slimy dragon!
"Westwind…! We came too late…" said a young elf girl.
"That beast… It was that one that did it!" roared a young dwarf.
"We have to avenge this person! Everyone, let\'s kill it!" commanded the young human, with spiky red hair, as he raised his blazing blade.
"Let me aid you, we can take care of it…" said the calm demoness.
Frank felt like the presence of something was coming towards him, but he gave it no thought she continued fighting against the gigantic slime creature.
"Wait, charging directly towards it is way too reckless, you fools!" said Reuberto, trying to stop them but the Heroes forced the beast they mounted through the skies to reach the gigantic dragon, as everyone charged their magic attacks!
"GRAAAAAAHH…!"
The slime beast roared as it began to entangle Frank\'s entire body, and suddenly, he sensed the magical presence directed at him, alongside using his Divinity to realize that there was some kind of malicious intent directed at him as well!
He quickly forced his way out of the slime, glaring at the small fly firing magic attacks at him…
In the heat of battle, he was not able to care who they were or what they were thinking but he knew they wanted to kill him.
"Gluttony!"
He roared, unleashing Gluttony as a gigantic black maw flew towards the Heroes… and they were engulfed.
