Chapter 175: Ark of the Covenant Shatters the Demon God Pillar
When David heard they needed him to carry the explosives himself, he immediately waved his hands, indicating he couldn't do it.
Euryale, standing nearby, frowned and spoke up.
"While we won't force you, in a critical moment like this, if you have the ability, you should at least try. As a man, and having died once already, what are you still afraid of?"
Hearing Euryale's words, David gave a difficult smile and said,
"It's not as simple as you think. Although I can touch the Ark of the Covenant, I can't touch it for long—only a few seconds at most. Any longer and it's not possible."
The power of the Ark of the Covenant was still somewhat outrageous; even David, its wielder, couldn't use it freely.
"A few seconds? That's enough. Let me get you there. You can throw the Ark of the Covenant onto the Demon God Pillar from up close. That should work, right?"
Drake stepped forward. She had already tested the performance of the new Golden Hind, and its capabilities were so good she could hardly believe it. With such a magnificent ship, where on the seas couldn't they go?
At this moment, Drake was overflowing with confidence.
"This…"
Having been pressed to this point, David understood that if he refused again, he would appear cowardly and afraid of death. They were all Heroic Spirits, people who had died once. They should feel awe towards death, not fear.
So,
"Alright! Then I'll be relying on you, Captain Drake."
David nodded to Drake, who flashed a hearty smile, turned, and climbed to the helm, shouting loudly!
"Set sail! Full speed ahead!"
"Aye, Captain!!"
"What? The Ark of the Covenant? This…"
Mo Shuying's expression also froze when he heard Dr. Roman's message. The Ark of the Covenant really seemed like it could deal with the Demon God Pillar, but whether it would succeed was hard to say. After all, the Demon God Pillar wasn't to be underestimated.
Although the Demon God Pillar was currently on the run, there was always a chance it would turn desperate. So, for David's plan to succeed, he would need others' help.
"I understand. Tell Drake and the others to be careful. I'll help you stall the Demon God Pillar's movements."
Mo Shuying replied to Dr. Roman, then swooped down towards the base of the Demon God Pillar.
The Demon God Pillar was massive but not slow. Its many eyes darted around, and suddenly spotting Mo Shuying, they immediately focused their gaze.
"Roar!"
Seeing Mo Shuying pursuing it, the Demon God Pillar immediately let out a panicked roar. Tentacles emerged from the sea, coiling towards Mo Shuying, but they were shaken away by a powerful burst of Mana as they approached!
*Mana Release!*
His already A-rank Mana Release, combined with the enhancement from his Red Dragon Physique, reached a new height.
*"Boom!!"*
The dense Mana, like a barrier, smashed into the tentacles, even carving massive wounds into them. This also benefited from the Beast Hunter's blessing. One could say that Arthur was a Heroic Spirit specializing in gigantic monsters, designed specifically to fight large creatures, whether dragons or Demon God Pillars, they all fell under this category!
"Since I'm here! You're not going anywhere!"
Mo Shuying broke through the tentacles' obstruction and came to the front of the Demon God Pillar's escape path. He raised the Golden Sword high, and instantly, a golden light burst forth from his body.
"Roar!"
Seeing Mo Shuying like this, the Demon God Pillar chose not to attack; instead, it immediately turned and fled, escaping in another direction.
"Such a coward!"
Mo Shuying shouted, and with a swing of his Holy Sword, a golden sword light immediately blasted towards the Demon God Pillar's main body.
*"Boom!!"*
The enhanced Sword of Promised Victory accurately struck the Demon God Pillar. The terrifying sword light melted the Demon God Pillar's body, piercing right through it.
This strike covered a large area, almost cutting the Demon God Pillar in half at the waist. From the looks of it, even without using the release version of the Golden Sword, it seemed capable of killing the Demon God Pillar.
But just then!
"All Evils Repair!"
A girl's voice rang out, and a blue-white light enveloped the Demon God Pillar. In a matter of seconds, all of the Demon God Pillar's injuries were completely healed.
"Medea!"
Mo Shuying frowned. Medea dared to act again, but using her Noble Phantasm to heal such massive injuries must have taken a toll on her.
And indeed it had.
Medea, inside the Demon God Pillar's physical body, looked utterly drained. Her Mana had almost been completely consumed. If the Demon God Pillar were to be injured again, she wouldn't be able to heal it.
"This won't do! Useless things truly are useless in the end. We can't run anymore! The Holy Grail! We must use the Holy Grail to summon more Demon God Pillars!"
If one Demon God Pillar wasn't enough, then two! If two weren't enough, then three! Medea used her last bit of Mana, and a golden light radiated from a part of the Demon God Pillar, indicating that the Holy Grail was about to forcibly summon new Demon God Pillars.
And just then!
*"Boom!"*
A giant ship, drifting around a bend with a nitrous boost, burst through the waves and flew into the air!
The Golden Hind arrived somewhat suddenly. Onboard, David pulled out a box and launched it towards the Demon God Pillar!
"Five Stones!"
David's Noble Phantasm, Five Stones, is actually a shooting technique. The fifth shot is guaranteed to hit and stun, but it can also be counted down, allowing the first shot to hit.
The Golden Ark, treated like a stone, transformed into a golden streak and struck one of the Demon God Pillar's eyes. Time seemed to stop for a moment, then, the next second, a Mana black hole appeared around the Ark of the Covenant! It began frantically absorbing the Mana and life force from within the Demon God Pillar's body!
"Roar!"
Once it started absorbing, the Ark of the Covenant clung to the Demon God Pillar like a persistent tick. The Demon God Pillar's body twisted, then shrunk and decayed at a visible rate!
The golden Ark continuously absorbed Mana, like an invincible black hole, but whether it was an illusion or not, the lid covering the Ark seemed to have loosened slightly.
"No!"
Medea paled in shock. The Demon God Pillar's Mana was being absorbed, and she, as the person inside the Demon God Pillar's body, was also implicated. The last bit of Mana she had was completely devoured, and in despair, Medea gave a bitter smile.
Is this the consequence of my betrayal?
As soon as her words fell, her entire being vanished, her Spirit Origin extinguished.
"ROAR!!"
The Demon God Pillar had shrunk to the size of a truck, its aura weak.
Mo Shuying felt a little unnerved looking at it; this Ark of the Covenant was quite the destructive weapon.
Thinking this, Mo Shuying looked at David on the Golden Hind, then sighed softly.
"Ah, it's a shame this isn't the Moyi world, otherwise…"
Otherwise, Mo Shuying would have another trump card, a sure-kill move.
The Golden Hind flew out and then rapidly returned, seeing that only a large chunk of flesh remained of the Demon God Pillar. Just then, a hand suddenly reached out from the mass of flesh, clutching a golden cup.
"A Holy Grail?"
The hand holding the Holy Grail belonged to Jason. As his arm appeared, Jason's resentful voice rang out.
"It's not my fault, it's this world! You will all die!!"
As his words fell, the Holy Grail in his hand glowed, and beams of Command Seal light scattered everywhere. At the same time, Jason's venomous voice echoed.
"By my Command Seal, I order you! Fight to the death! No holding back! No retreating! Kill everyone! Until death do us part!!"
Jason, no longer in human form, threw the Holy Grail violently towards the Ark of the Covenant after using all his Command Seals!
