BIOLOGICAL SUPERCOMPUTER SYSTEM-Chapter 1220: Journey to Mur (8)

"Amber, Mira, June, Emily. Take ten thousand Chimaeric Demons and leave."

"What about you?" Amber asked.

"I’ll try to stall them as much as I can. We killed around a thousand of them. Is not enough to make them stop attacking, but at least is something. I will use the main force to keep them at bay. Reach Mur, establish a base. I will reach you soon."

Yet, the three women didn’t believe him. These thaids were too strong, and their powers countered Erik’s and all of those around him. There was basically nothing he could do to salvage the situation.

The three women began protesting, but the Chimaeric Demons followed their creator’s command without hesitation.

Ten thousand clones gathered around Amber, Mira, June, Emily and their mounts, forming a protective formation before leaving the battlefield.

They sped up as they could, but it wasn’t easy considering the draining effects of the three-headed void ravagers’ brain crystal powers. Yet, as they increased their distance from the thaids, the draining field’s effect decreased, allowing them to speed up more and more, to the point they were able to reach their full speed.

The three-headed void ravagers tried to follow them, but between Erik’s barrier and the remaining Chimaeric Demons attacking them relentlessly, they failed to take chase.

At the same time, some of the thaids focused on the barrier and unleashed their breath, which started eating at the barrier, creating dark spots that required constant mana to repair.

It wasn’t easy to resist these many attacks. Those producing them were harrowing monsters with so much mana that they seemed like living batteries. The problem was that there were thousands of these horrifying monsters, and Erik had no idea how to prevent them from attacking.

"Keep dealing damage!"

Erik’s reserves dwindled more and more quickly as the barrier got attacked. He tried to keep the barrier up while at the same time bringing the pace of his kills up. Yet, each new impact forced him to choose between attack and defense more and more, with him focusing on the second. The problem was that neither choice seemed enough to save them.

Moreover, with fewer Chimaeric Demons around, the killing ratio decreased again.

Then the barrier fractured.

Spiderweb-like fissures spread across its entire surface. The mana-powered structure, weakened by constant attacks, could no longer withstand the assault of the void ravagers’ breath, as Erik’s mana hit rock bottom.

The barrier shattered like glass, raining ethereal shards that dissolved into nothingness before reaching the ocean below.

The void ravagers poured through the broken barrier like a dark tide, their massive three-headed bodies crashing into the ranks of the Chimaeric Demon army. Then their draining field reached its peak intensity at the heart of Erik’s formation.

The waves it radiated sapped strength, speed, and even intelligence from the clones.

Their muscles and limbs felt impossibly heavy, as if weighed down by tons of iron. Every movement required immense effort, with even the simple act of flapping their wings becoming a struggle.

The clones instinctively activated the Xeridon Anteris brain crystal powers. The enhancement surged through their bodies, reinforcing muscles and sharpening reflexes that would have otherwise failed.

The enemy’s ability sapped them of strength, but it didn’t work on mana and other brain crystal powers. Though, it was usually enough to kill other thaids.

However, the Chimaeric Demons weren’t thaids - they were highly intelligent creatures with multiple abilities at their disposal. Even with their physical strength diminished, they could still use their brain crystal powers, shape-shifting abilities, and coordinated tactics to fight back.

The problem was that even with the Xeridon Anteris brain crystal power enhancing their bodies, the Chimaeric Demons struggled against the weakness induced by the enemy’s draining field.

The clones fought on through sheer determination, but the void ravagers’ gained significant advantages each meter as they got closer to the clones. Their draining field was too strong, too concentrated.

The Chimaeric Demons usually used the Xeridon Anteris brain crystal power to overwhelm their enemies with their speed. Strength wasn’t even important, since they were usually much stronger than everything else.

However, now what should have given them a significant advantage was reduced to a mere lifeline, barely enough to keep the clones in the fight.

The first clash was devastating. With the three-headed void ravagers crashing into the clones, while all three sets of jaws clamped down on the unfortunate soul.

The clones thrashed wildly because of pain, and even more because they were quickly realizing there really was nothing they could do to save themselves as the void ravagers’ teeth shredded through scales and flesh alike.

Blood sprayed across the sky as the beasts’ razor-sharp teeth and claws tore through the clones’ bodies. Severed limbs and mangled corpses fell through the air, leaving trails of crimson that scattered in the wind.

"Fall back! Fall back now!" Erik screamed, launching a barrage of wind blades. The blades cut deep gashes into the void ravagers’ hides, drawing blood, but even these powerful attacks couldn’t kill the three-headed monsters quickly enough to stop their advance and save the clones. He watched as more clones fell to the creatures’ maws and talons.

The sky turned into a grotesque show of dismembered bodies, scales, and viscera. The sky was filled with the sound of hundreds of wings beating and the screams of dying clones. Their cries echoed across the ocean as the void ravagers tore through them.

The waters below churned as thousands of sea thaids gathered, their shapes visible just beneath the surface, and most of the time, what Erik saw were simply the thaids monstrously big maws opening to swallow his clones, who now offered much more flesh than their human form.

When clones fell into the water, if the larger thaids didn’t claim the body for themselves, packs of sea monsters would immediately attack, ripping apart both dead and living clones within seconds. It was just that this was an excruciating death.

A void ravager wrapped its three serpentine necks around a clone, constricting until the wyvern bones cracked. The monster’s void breath dissolved the clone’s flesh even as its teeth tore through armor-like scales.

The Chimaeric Demons fought back. Starlight fireballs illuminated the bloody scene in harsh flashes, but their weakened state made their attacks barely effective.

They partially turned into the Luminous Leviathan so that they could use the bioluminescent surge and blind the opponents.

It worked, and only the clones communicating prevented massive blind soldiers on Erik’s side, like in their opponents’ case.

Yet with their reduced strength, even if the clones blinded the ravagers, they were still unable to deal significant damage fast enough.

Defeating even a single one of these monsters required coordinated teamwork. Three or four clones had to combine their efforts just to bring down one ravager, but that was just a drop in the ocean, as there were many thaids attacking.

They had to time their attacks—while some clones kept the monsters’ heads busy, others would attack weak spots like their throats or chests. Without working together like this, their attacks could barely hurt the monsters’ tough skin.

The clones tried everything at their disposal. Groups focused on using Vibration Burst. The combined attacks sent waves of deadly vibrations through the monsters’ bodies, making them writhe in agony.

Their tough scales offered no protection as the vibrations tore through muscle and bone. Blood vessels burst beneath armored hides, creating dark patches that spread across the thaids’ skin.

The beasts’ three heads thrashed wildly, jaws snapping at empty air as internal hemorrhaging turned their organs to pulp.

Horrible gurgling sounds escaped their throats as blood filled their lungs. Within minutes, the monsters’ movements became erratic, their wings beating out of sync as their nervous systems failed.

Finally, their eyes rolled back, and they plummeted from the sky, their massive forms splashing into the ocean, where hungry sea thaids quickly dragged them under.

The enemies died relatively quickly compared to the previous attempts the clones made and much faster than with their other attacks.

They could exploit this.

But there was a big problem—using this power drained their energy reserves. Since most of the clones hadn’t practiced this particular power much, they couldn’t use it efficiently or for very long.

Besides, even if Vibration Burst quickened the killings, it was still not enough. The three-headed void ravagers were basically tearing the clones down.

Only Erik was able to increase the kill rate, and that was because, with each of his clones dying, he was getting more and more experience points. Each level up was coming fast, meaning Erik could use a ton of mana to kill the opponents.
