Chapter 469 Against The Hordes
"Dinosaurs are really coming back to bite our ass, aren't they?" Williams tried to joke but nobody felt like laughing.
After Sven had reported what was going on, Dilan and a bunch of his people had ridden on the Red Dragon to fly back to the Sanctum, and what awaited them was certainly not funny to see.
The situation was quite troublesome because some worms that were created out of stone destroyed everything below the surface. They received nourishment from the stones, soil, and living beings that resided in the ground that they devoured.
Their sizes continued to increase and it was visible to Dilan's eyes the moment they broke through the surface but that was not even the biggest problem.
"I cannot really sense how strong they're. The power they exhibit is pretty obvious but other than that, there is nothing for me to measure their strength…" Dilan revealed when he had used Power Appraisal just to fail miserably.
He frowned deeply at the sight of the dozen stone worms all of which were humongous in size before his gaze moved over to the Giganotosaurus, the biggest predator Dilan could recall from the ancient times when Dinosaurs had reigned on Milarn.
Its hide was tough enough to endure the blazing flames of the Red Dragon, while its powers were versatile, allowing it to do many things that seemed impossible for others to achieve.
[The Giganotosaurus seems to have an Anti-Magic ability that covers its hide!] The Red Dragon said when she felt that her Dragon breath had no effect.
She was ready to descend to the ground and engage in close combat but Dilan lifted his hand to stop her from doing anything.
"Just give me some of your Dragonic Mana, and I will take care of the rest," Dilan said calmly as he unsheathed the Blessed Blade.
He inserted some Mana inside the Blessed Blade to make sure that the Red Dragon knew what he was trying to do, and it was not long after that the Blessed Blade's [Holy Light] began to shine brightly, embracing the blade tightly
The Blade's sharpness and endurance increased as more mana was inserted in it. Thus, the moment Red Dragon transferred some of her highly potent Dragonic Mana, Dilan's entire body jolted, just for the Blessed Blade to shine in a dazzling brightness that could turn someone blind.
Dilan felt like the blood running through his veins had been replaced by searing hot lava. Every single cell of his body hurt, yet, Dilan endured the unbearable pain. That was the only thing he could do, either way, and he was already accustomed to pain, to begin with.
Pain was not new for him, and it was like a second skin that he wore over his body. After all, being able to feel pain meant that he was still alive and kicking.
With that in mind, Dilan activated [Switch] to reallocate his Stamina and Agility to increase his Strength by 300 Units. Afterward, he activated [Power-Up], the Cursed Dagger's [Blood Sacrifice], [Walk of Thunder] using more than 50 Units of Mana, [Second Acceleration] with more than 50 Units of Mana, [Undying], and [Master of Gravity] before he inserted a tremendous amount of Mana inside the Blessed Blade.
Even if the Blessed Blade had just a 30-centimeter-long dagger blade, Dilan knew that this was more than enough to finish the Giganotosaurus. That was something he was certain about because he could clearly perceive the traits of the mighty beast.
[All beings belonging to the Hordes of Chaos and Destruction work together with the use of a certain Organ they possess. It's called Swirl of Chaos and provides them with access to the power of Chaos. Some develop the ability to control the powers of Chaos and Destruction as long as they gain a certain understanding of the Swirl of Chaos.
However, this organ is very fragile and dangerous. If you inflict a serious enough injury on it, the Swirl of Chaos will explode, which will destroy the organs within the monster. You can kill it with one blow!] The Red Dragon proposed before the image of several spots where the Swirl of Chaos could be located appeared in Dilan's mind.
Dilan thanked the Red Dragon for helping him out before he turned into a flash as he jumped down to the ground, where the ginormous Giganotosaurus was already waiting for him.
"You don't have to wait anymore, I'm coming!!" Dilan shouted out loud before drastically increasing the gravitational force around himself.
Simultaneously, he summoned the Intermediate Wind Spirit to make sure that he was pulled faster to the ground. Powerful air currents blasted upon his back and Dilan's smile widened as he turned into a purple meteorite that impacted on the ginormous Giganotosaurus.
The Giganotosaurus was unable to react fast enough as Dilan had already crushed on its back. The Blessed Blade dug deep inside its flesh and it was not long after that the terrific force of the impact allowed Dilan's fist and forearm to sink inside the Chaos Monster's flesh.
Dilan unleashed the Dragonic Mana from within the Giganotosaurus and he activated [Mana Slash] over and over again. Simultaneously, he unleashed Inferno of Disintegration inside the monster.
He twisted the Blessed Blade inside the pulsating flesh of the monster that roared out in pain before it started to thrash itself around.
It didn't take long for the Giganotosaurus to notice that Dilan would never let go of the Blessed Blade and that it was only a matter of time for the injuries it had sustained turned into lethal wounds.
Thus, the Giganotosaurus threw itself on the back, while preparing to activate a bunch of abilities that required some time to be charged.
'You're planning something, huh?' Dilan thought when he sensed the tremendous amount of mana that circulated through the Giganotosaurus.
Just a moment later it had already thrown itself on the back, squashing Dilan underneath its humongous body. The sound of breaking bones resounded through the surrounding area but not a single groan could be heard as all the other noises got drowned due to the noise of a bunch of Stone worms shooting out of the ground.
At first, it looked like the Stone worms were about to attack the Giganotosaurus but upon taking a closer look, it was pretty clear that the situation was a lot different than expected.
The Stone worms shot toward the back of the Giganotosaurus, the area where Dilan was squashed.
He was bleeding from head to toe and his left arm got twisted horribly. It was clearly broken and Dilan was not able to properly maintain his grip on the Blessed Blade anymore.
Despite that, his arms were still stuck deep inside the Giganotosaurus, preventing him from losing his grip.
The Stone worms were just about to reach Dilan when the situation changed altogether.
All of a sudden, the Giganotosaurus was lifted from the ground, and Dilan took a few seconds to realize what was going on.
Only when he saw the Red Dragon's maw crushing the neck of the Giganotosaurus was he able to figure it out.
"Didn't I say that I would be fine without you?" He asked out loud, his voice not showing the slightest hint of weakness or the fact that he was injured.
He just smiled at the Red Dragon as if he was perfectly fine.
[I can do whatever I want!] The Red Dragon retorted but Dilan just laughed.
"No you can't."
