LIGHTNOVELSTORY Chapter 255: Typhaon's Sovereigns
The Spell recognized Jack as Neo's ally.
It gave a giant boost to Jack, which allowed him to use his Unique Skill on such a large area.
"You still won't come out?" Jack's voice echoed through the desolate woods.
He activated the Necrotic Spear Spell.
The shattered bones of the undead that had exploded moments ago began to tremble violently on the forest floor.
They rose into the air and fused together into colossal spears of jagged bone.
These monstrous projectiles shot through the dense forest, tearing through ancient trees with devastating force.
Leaves and splinters scattered like confetti as the spears wreaked havoc, leaving a trail of destruction and killing dozens of gigantic monsters that roamed the area.
Jack continued.
He transformed corpses into an ever-growing army of undead.
Faintly, he felt the space around him twist unnaturally.
No matter how much he walked forward, he found himself returning to the same place.
"So you are finally starting to make moves."
Jack wasn't discouraged.
The strain on Typhaon's spatial manipulation would increase as the number of his undead increased since Typhaon would be forced to use spatial manipulation on more targets.
Jack's relentless progress was a significant threat to Typhaon.
The Father of Anomalies understood how dangerous he was.
Typhaon responded by sending his Sovereigns.
"Oh my, you've caused quite a ruckus in our home."
A voice, smooth and mocking, cut through the sounds of creaking bones and snapping wood.
Someone appeared in the path of Jack's Necrotic Spears and, with a simple swipe of their hand, effortlessly swatted them away.
The figure stepped into the light filtering through the cracked canopy.
"You've finally come out," Jack said.
"We had to," the monster replied with a smile that twisted unnaturally across its featureless face. "I'm Charybdis, the Sovereign of Winds."
The humanoid monster was snow white.
Its skin shone with an unearthly glow.
It wore no clothing and had no face—only a grotesque mouth that curled into a perpetual grin.
Charybdis bowed exaggeratedly, as if performing on a grand stage.
Jack's gaze moved to the creatures behind Charybdis.
Two other monsters stood silently in the clearing.
One was an elephant that towered at least two stories tall. Its massive tusks glinted with razor-sharp edges.
The other was an ogre-like beast with two curling horns.
"They are Jagaan, the Sovereign of Beasts, and Oni, the Sovereign of Flames," Charybdis introduced. "Sorry about this, but they can't speak, so I'll handle their introductions."
"Let's stop the useless introductions," Jack said, his aura surging as a warning. "Tell me where the Core of Typhaon is, or I can ask your souls after killing you three."
"Ohhhhh, that's scary~"
Charybdis mockingly clasped their hands to his chest, pretending to tremble like a frightened child.
"You're going to kill us? But all three of us are S-rank in your human ranks~"
Jack's eyes locked onto the Sovereign of Winds.
He remained calm despite the overwhelming aura radiating from the three Sovereigns before him.
"Alright, let's begin," Jack muttered.
He flicked his wrist and activated Necrotic Spear Spell again.
The volley of massive bone spears surged forward like deadly missiles.
Charybdis raised a single hand, and a whirlwind spiraled out, catching the spears mid-flight.
The bone projectiles shattered into fragments, but Jack was already on the move.
He lunged forward, and closed the distance between them in an instant.
A massive shadow loomed behind him as Jagaan, the Sovereign of Beasts, charged.
The colossal elephant's tusks glowed with an ominous energy.
It stomped the ground with a force that sent shockwaves rippling through the battlefield.
Jack leaped into the air.
He narrowly avoided the devastating quake, and landed on top of Jagaan's back.
With a surge of necrotic energy, Jack slammed his palm onto the beast's hide.
He forced debuff Spells into Jagaan's body. Read exclusive adventures at empire
Jagaan roared in pain.
It massive legs buckled as its strength began to disappear.
But before Jack could deliver the finishing blow, a fiery inferno erupted beside him.
Oni, the Sovereign of Flames, hurled a blazing fireball that engulfed Jack in a wave of searing heat.
Jack's figure emerged from the flames, unharmed.
His skin shimmered with a faint protective aura.
Mimicked Ocean's Embrace.
It was a Spell formed from shadow elementals. He learned it from watching Neo, though it was far weaker than the original Spell.
"Is that all?" he grinned, raising his hand.
From the ground, dozens of undead monsters emerged, clawing their way out of the earth.
Each one charged toward Oni and Charybdis.
The Sovereign of Flames countered by unleashing a fiery storm that incinerated the first wave of undead.
But Jack simply summoned more.
Charybdis, meanwhile, created a tornado that flung the undead high into the air, scattering them across the battlefield.
Jack used the chaos to his advantage.
Shadow Jump.
He disappeared and jumped out of Oni's shadow.
A blade made of bones materialized in his hand.
He slashed at the Sovereign of Flames.
The blade connected and cut deep into Oni's shoulder.
The Sovereign howled in pain, staggering back.
Jagaan recovered and charged again before Jack could press his advantage and fatally injury Oni.
The ground quaked with such intensity that Jack lost his footing.
Jagaan's tusks glowed brighter.
It unleashed an energy blast with a deafening roar and sent Jack flying into a nearby tree.
Jack groaned as he pushed himself to his feet.
Blood dripped from his forehead.
"I'm not done yet."
He summoned a massive undead colossus from the remains of the fallen monsters.
The towering creature bellowed, and charged at Jagaan.
The two colossal monsters were locked in a grapple.
Jack turned his attention back to Charybdis and Oni .
With a flick of his wrist, he summoned dozens of necrotic spears again, aiming them at the two Sovereigns.
The battle raged on with Jack having the upper hand.
His relentless attacks and undead army overwhelmed the Sovereigns, forcing them onto the defensive.
But then, the tide began to turn.
Oni roared.
its body erupted into a blazing inferno that consumed everything within its radius.
Jack's undead minions disintegrated in the heat, and even Jack was forced to retreat.
