Chapter 1040 Sunstone Chimera

My father\'s normal attacks barely got through such a mighty barrier, and even magic wasn\'t working completely well on it.

Of course, such a barrier wasn\'t impenetrable. There should be ways to negate it or deactivate it, and that\'s where we enter.

Although with enough effort and time, I\'m sure they could also overpower the monster, the reason we were here with them was to also gain experience and fight.

So we might as well help and make things end a bit quicker, if possible.

"GRAAAAHH!"

The Sunstone Chimera gave a furious roar, swinging its giant crystal claws against my father, unleashing explosive waves of corrupted sunlight energy against him.

CLAASH! CLAASH! CLAASH! CLAASH!

My father mightily blocked each attack with ease, swinging his enormous blazing sword to defend. He wasn\'t having any particular difficulty here.

However, the beast could cover a wider range with its blows. The crystals on its back glowed brightly, firing beams everywhere.

"PAY! YOU WILL PAY!"

With the roars of countless agonizing souls unified as one, the beams were released, explosions filling the entire surroundings.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Shade appeared, surging like a powerful mass of darkness and shapeshifting both of his arms into two enormous hands, catching the beams and blocking them.

"As long as we are here, you won\'t harm them."

"RAAAARRRR!"

The Chimera only groaned in more frustration, constantly charging against the two. At the same time, Nepheline and Ninhursag leaped into action.

Aquarina\'s mother covered herself with a layer of ore and crystals, resembling a mighty titaness, although her size only increased to twice her original size, going all the way to six meters, while summoning her powerful Divine Relic, the World-Shaking Hammer, Atlas.

"Let\'s see how freaking tough that barrier of yours is!"

With a smile, she hit the barrier with all her strength, generating a huge tremor that made the whole ruins tremble.

BAAAAMMM!!!

However, the barrier seemed almost unscathed, barely showing any signs of wear!

"How about this?!"

Ninhursag transformed into a huge gray Fenrir, releasing a barrage of claw and bite attacks, alongside beams of darkness and light from her jaws.

CLAASH! CLAASH! CLAASH! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

However, the result was the same, the barrier was almost completely unscathed, and the Sunstone Chimera was barely thrown away a few centimeters after tanking all that damage.

"SHAAAHH!"

With a ferocious roar, half its body changed shape, turning into the form of nine snake-like heads, opening their jaws and trying to bite through its foes.

It used the barrier to also enhance the durability of its own attacks, making them incredibly tough as a result.

Despite being Tier 9, this powerful barrier alone made it something like a Tier 10 Monster!

"Quite tough, I can see."

My mother waved her staff, releasing several chains that stopped the snakes from biting our parents, at the same time as summoning a huge cross of light.

The cross of light rotated around the beast and started to generate a powerful energy that weakened it even so slightly.

Uncle Arafunn didn\'t join, simply watching from the sidelines… Pretending to be guarding our backs maybe.

"ROOOAARR!"

They kept attacking it, but the barrier didn\'t break at all, and the monster continued shapeshifting. We had to find where the barrier\'s powers originated and shatter them.

Although our parents were very strong, their strengths were through specialization over their elements.

Yes, they can conjure spells of other elements, but they probably won\'t hold a candle against strong enough foes.

Therefore, they\'re mostly forced to use their specialties in conjunction. That doesn\'t mean they were helpless here.

I know my mother and the rest would manage to find the weakness and destroy it, they overcome all sorts of challenges when they were younger.

They even defeated the strongest being in the world back then, the Demon King, even with many of the heroes perishing in that fight.

But I want to make this end quickly, so we must help them!

And also… I want to continue proving myself, because we\'ll eventually fight even more terrifying foes one day.

I want to become stronger and show my parents we will be able to take care of ourselves!

So, for that reason…

"[Heavenly Sight]!"

FLAAASH!

My eyes shone with divine light, as I inspected the entire Sunstone Chimera\'s body in a split of a second. I quickly detected several cracks beneath its "stomach".

Additionally, one of its claws had a weird dark orange color and was disrupted with energies that couldn\'t flow.

Above all, that barrier seemed perfect, but it was actually being fueled majorly by leftover Divine Power that infected the souls of the victims!

Which is also most likely the source of why the Sunstones grew… The Gods most likely forcefully injected this Sunlight Divinity into their souls.

And because they couldn\'t take such power due to having small and weak souls, the Divinity worked like a corroding energy, infecting them and crystalizing through their body.

It was an agonizing death… I have to bring them the peace they deserve.

"Sylphy! Do you get any ideas?" Aquarina asked.

"I-I honestly don\'t know where we could even be of help…" Zack was slightly nervous.

"They\'re handling it all so well!" Mist said timidly.

"Not too well." I said. "They seem to be on a stalemate. We can\'t just waste our time with a mob that isn\'t even the Dungeon Boss, even less if we\'ll get to fight more of these guys… Such a powerful barrier certainly has a weakness, and I\'ve found it."

"You did?!" Luck asked in surprise.

"I\'ll need all of you guy\'s help though." I smiled. "Lara, can you bring some spirits out?"

"S-Sure!" Lara nodded, composing herself.

"Celeste, Celica, Zephy, use your special magic to weaken and try to get through the barrier!" I commanded.

"Okay!" Celeste agreed immediately.

"Sure!" Celica nodded.

"M-Me too? O-Okay!" Zephyrus was surprised I was relying on him.

"The rest, follow me!" I said, leaping into action.

I unsheathed Scarlet and then activated a certain Skill.

"[Mana Disruption]!"

FLAAASH!
