Chapter 8 An Extraordinary Visual Feast

"Ah!"

Artoria gripped the golden greatsword with both hands, spun two and a half times, and a golden fan-shaped arc of light flashed across her body. Using the momentum of her rotation, she instantly severed one of the Flower Calyx Beast's arms at the root before it could react, and green fluorescent liquid splattered everywhere.

"Roar!" The flower-calyx beast cried out in pain, its eyes glowing with fury. It opened its massive jaws and lunged at Artoria at a speed far beyond what the human eye could follow.

However, Artoria is among the top-tier Servants in terms of strength, and she unleashed the magical power within her body in an instant.

boom!
Blue magic erupted from her body, and the impact caused the ground within a ten-meter radius to collapse half a meter deep. At the same time, the holy sword burst forth with a dazzling golden light, as if it were a greatsword burning with flames.

Artoria gripped her sword with both hands and slashed horizontally. Golden magical flames formed a slash that struck the massive jaws, cutting through them like butter. The huge lower jaw was completely severed, while the grotesque upper jaw passed close to the top of her head.

"Roar! Roar! Roar! Roar!" The pain made the calyx beast's small head roar, but it did not stop. With its only remaining hand pressed on the ground, it continued to attack Artoria, twisting its huge body and calyx-shaped lower body down towards Artoria.

Artoria easily dodged the attack and leaped up in an instant, severing the other arm of the Calyx Beast at the root. At that moment, she also noticed that the other severed arm of the Calyx Beast was rapidly regenerating.

"This size of Devouring Beast is indeed much more regenerative than smaller Devouring Beasts."

"And such a huge body is so agile that it can even fly."

"Roar!" The Devouring Beast's orange-red evil eyes stared intently at Artoria, and blue light appeared in its mouth, from which a blue, electrified beam of light shot out.

sizzle-

The piercing electric current caused the air to evaporate.

Artoria dodged with incredible speed, a blue bolt of lightning grazing past her. Taking advantage of the moment, she used her feet to propel herself to the side of the Devouring Beast's small head, spun around, and swung her golden greatsword, a fan-shaped arc of light slicing across the small head's neck.

puff!

A fluorescent, grayish-green liquid sprayed out, and the little head was completely severed.

"Drink!" Without giving the calyx beast any time to react, Artoria slashed down heavily, unleashing a massive golden slash imbued with magical power that cleaved the calyx beast in two. A large amount of grayish-green liquid exploded out, revealing a glowing chunk of flesh inside one half of its body.

"Spiritual Seed".

Artoria swiftly slashed with her sword, and a crisp cracking sound rang out as the glowing chunk of flesh was split open.

Puff puff~

The sound was like the rolling of foul black mud in a swamp, and the flesh and blood of the Flower Calyx Beast instantly melted into black mud like oil.

Finally, two huge skeletons, split in two, were left in the black mud.

The Devouring Beast can only be truly killed by shattering the Spirit Seed; otherwise, it will quickly regenerate and revive, and the more life essence it absorbs, the faster it will revive.

Of course, it's not only by shattering the Spirit Seed that you can kill it; you can also kill it by consuming all of the Devouring Beast's life essence, but you'll need to kill it at least a dozen times to truly kill it.

Tao Jing stared at the scene in disbelief, muttering, "A monster that even sacrificing an entire combat company couldn't defeat was killed in just a few moves..."

The battle is not over yet.

If Artoria's swift and decisive slashes at the Flower Calyx Beast were a visually striking display of violence, then Meadow's battles were a visual feast of skill.

Not only Tao Jing, but all the combat personnel, including those in the 'Anomaly Investigation Bureau' who were using drones for remote monitoring, were holding their breath and watching the battle unfold.

"As expected of Artoria, she took care of such a big guy in just a few moves." Maido quickly pulled out the spear that had pinned the thorn eel, sharing Chagai's vision, so she didn't need to be wary of the Devouring Beasts spitting bone spikes at her from behind.

The bone spur made a sound as it cut through the air.

call out!call out!
"Suck~"

Inhale using the breathing technique, your pupils glow to activate 'Source Potential', and at the same time, the Divine Eye at your waist emits a red light, while your hands flip and twirl the spear behind your back.

when!when!when!
Fire elements instantly formed a curtain of flames, blocking all the bone spikes that shot from behind. Then, she twisted her wrist, flicked the spear tip, and lunged forward, thrusting the spear tip towards the spiky eel that had already charged in front of her. Flames erupted from the spear tip, forming a phantom image of a bull's horn.

Maido chuckled softly, "Ha!"

The spear tip, enveloped by the phantom of the bull's horn, pierced through the head of the spiky eel, penetrating to a third of the way into the shaft.

Six Harmony Spear, Right Style, Iron Ox Plowing the Field.

puff!

Bang!
Then, the flames exploded inside the thorn eel's body, and with a bang, the thorn eel was blown to pieces, while the tip of the spear contained the shattered spirit seed.

"With the 'Eye of God,' we can see the spiritual seeds of these great monsters clearly, and we no longer have to worry about them being resurrected." Maido said happily, but her gun didn't stop. She drew her gun, turned around and fired, thrusting her right hand.

This time, the spear tip pierced the spiky eel that had pounced into the air. The spear tip was enveloped in a dragon claw made of flames, and it pierced through the spiky eel's chest and abdomen, shattering the spirit seed.

Six Harmony Spear, Single Killer, Azure Dragon Claw.

Puff~

The destruction of the Spirit Breath Seed Eel's shell instantly dissolved it into black mud, leaving only its skeleton lying on the ground.

“17, 15 more.” Maido turned around and swung her spear, gripping the butt of the spear with one hand. With a powerful swing, she unleashed a three-meter-high wave of flames from the Six Harmonies Spear technique, “Undersea Tide,” severing the limbs of four spiky eels.

He thrust the spear repeatedly, each shot precisely shattering the spirit seed.

In just a few moves, he took care of the five spiny eels.

"Hiss hiss hiss—" The remaining spiky eels let out a piercing hiss, surrounded Maido, and pounced on her, leaving Maido with nowhere to hide.

"The monsters have become smarter after absorbing so many people's souls." Maido remained completely calm, shifting her grip on the gun with her left and right hands, flames erupting from the gun as she constantly changed her position, twisting and turning, the gun tumbling in her hands, the flames seemingly forming a giant crimson fire lotus phantom together with the wielding gun.

Puff puff--

The dozen or so spiky eels that rushed in from all directions were instantly torn apart. Some had their heads swept off, while others were snapped in half. Greenish-gray liquid was continuously pumped out, but before it could even touch Maido, it was burned away by the fire element.

"Drink!" After using the move "Continuous Cloud Top Dance Spear", Maiduo switched hands to grip the handle, twisted her body and thrust the spear, then gripped the spear butt with one hand and swung the spear, using the move "Crossing the River and Flying Across" to shatter several Devouring Beasts that had not yet landed.

hiss-

The sound of brocade tearing rang out, and the several Devouring Beasts that had already been broken by the gun barrel were swept away again, their shells becoming even more shattered. Accompanied by the burning of fire elements, the Spirit Seeds were directly shattered.

Crackling~

The dead spiky eel turned into pieces of its skeleton and fell around.

At that moment, a spiny eel pounced from behind her. Without turning her head, Maido thrust her spear backward, the tip piercing the eel's chest and abdomen, and twisting the shaft.

Bang!
The moment the spiky eel was pierced, it exploded, and a shattered spirit seed fell to the ground.

"Four left." Maido slowly exhaled, without moving her body more than two steps, and twirled her gun with both hands, creating a powerful and graceful movement.

With a flick of the spear, a thrust, a press, and a snap, the remaining four spiky eels were sent flying in four consecutive movements.

The final move, a single-handed spear thrust, instantly impaled four spiky eels on the spear with lightning speed; ordinary people only saw blurry afterimages.

The Spirit Seed was shattered, and the spiny eel's shell quickly melted into black mud.

"Drink!" Maido flicked her gun, and the skeletons of the four spiky eels were shattered and fell to the ground with a crackling sound.
