Leveling Up by Seducing Milfs-Chapter 138. Coordinated Assault
Rick charged ahead with his dragon wings spread wide. Each strong beat of his wings sent him across the battlefield faster than his legs alone could.
His demon eye’s amber light shone like a second sun, making long shadows on the ruined training grounds.
The corrupted Zork met his charge with a roar that shook the demon camp’s very foundations. Its huge twelve-foot body lunged forward, claws outstretched and dripping with purple corruption energy.
The creature moved so quickly that it was terrifying, and it closed the gap between them in seconds.
Rick didn’t stop. Instead, he used Draconic Sovereignty, which made him feel powerful as the protective instinct boosted every stat by forty percent. His muscles hurt from the extra strength, his reflexes were sharper than ever, and he felt like a dragon.
They crashed into each other in the middle of the training grounds with a loud bang that sent shockwaves out in all directions.
BAMMMM!!!
Rick’s clawed hands caught the corrupted Zork’s downward blow, and his extra strength was enough to stop the creature’s movement. For a moment, they remained motionless, not allowing an inch to pass between them.
"I’m not the scared kid who ran away from every challenge anymore!" Rick growled, and his voice was strong. "I’m not going to run like a fucking loser this time!"
He bent his body and used the creature’s own weight against it, throwing the corrupted Zork to the side with a move that Carmilla had taught him during their training sessions. The creature rolled across the ground, ripping up pieces of dirt as it went.
But it got better almost right away, and its damaged body moved in a way that wasn’t natural. The purple energy that was building up in its mouth was like the charging of a corruption beam that had almost killed Rick before.
Rick was ready this time.
He yelled, "Frost Aura!" which turned on Natasha’s bond power.
A wave of freezing energy shot out from his body, making the area around him fifteen meters wide frigid. The air turned into crystals, and the ground under his feet was covered in frost.
When the corruption beam fired, it went through the frozen air, and its path changed slightly because the extreme cold made the energy less stable.
The beam missed Rick by inches as he dove to the side. Even though his resistances were stronger, he could still feel the heat of it.
This was a reminder of how deadly that attack was. The beam hit the ground where he was standing and made a crater of melted stone and hazardous soil.
"Carmilla! Natasha! Positions on the side!" Rick yelled, and his Tactical Mind ability was already figuring out the best way to go about it.
His partners, who were bonded with him, answered right away. Carmilla charged in from the left, her sword surrounded by Guardian’s Resolve’s protective flame.
Natasha came from the right, and with deadly accuracy, ice lances formed in her hands. Both women moved perfectly in sync, and their attacks were timed to make the Corrupted Zork split its focus.
The creature attempted to monitor both threats simultaneously, its purple eyes shifting back and forth between them. Rick only needed that one moment of doubt.
With his dragon wings, he jumped into the air and flew over the corrupted Zork’s head. His demon eye got brighter, and Soul Gaze turned on to find the creature’s core, which was the center of Zork’s original consciousness.
Inside those eyes, Rick could see a small spark of amber light deep in the chest cavity, under layers of damaged muscle and bone. The real Zork, trapped in his own broken body, is fighting hard to get control back, even for a moment. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
"Just give me a few minutes, Zork!" Rick yelled. "I’m getting you out of there!"
He dove down with all his extra speed, his claws outstretched. He shot dragon fire from his hands. These weren’t wild flames that destroyed everything in their path, but they were focused beams that burned through corruption without hurting what was underneath.
The corrupted Zork felt the attack and tried to hit Rick out of the air, but Carmilla’s sword hit its arm just as it was moving. The blade cut deep into the creature’s corrupted flesh, which messed up its timing just enough for Rick to get past its defenses.
Rick’s claws dug deep into the creature’s chest, ripping through layers of corruption. He could feel the evil energy trying to get into him through the contact, but his defenses were too strong.
Liora’s Holy Resistance, Sylvia’s Draconic Resistance, and his own improved Demonic Overdrive made a barrier that the corruption couldn’t get through.
"More!" Rick gritted his teeth and pushed his arms deeper into the painful flesh. "Just a little more!"
The corrupted Zork screamed in pain and anger, and its whole body shook. It grabbed Rick with both huge hands and squeezed him, trying to crush him like it had done before.
The pressure made Rick’s ribs creak, pushing his already enhanced endurance to its limits.
Then Zara showed up, and her two swords cut through the creature’s wrists with surgical precision. Grim determination set the Demon General’s face as she sliced through tendons and muscle, forcing the corrupted Zork to release its grip.
Rick fell, but his wings stopped him before he hit the ground. He floated in the air for a moment, breathing heavily, with black ichor on his arms up to his elbows.
"That thing heals too quickly!" Zara yelled and then moved to avoid a counterattack. "We have to hurt it faster than it can heal!"
"Then we hit it with everything at once!" Rick’s demon eye lit up with amber light. "Sylvia! Liora! We need all of your strength right now!"
Sylvia had been flying high above the battlefield, waiting for the right time to attack. When Rick called, she let out a stream of dragon fire that could melt walls of castles.
The focused beam of white-hot flames hit the Corrupted Zork’s back, burning through the corrupted flesh and filling the air with the smell of burning rot.
At the same time, Liora used her divine energy to create a huge column of holy light. The golden light came down from the sky like the gods’ judgment, hitting the creature from above and making its twisted body writhe in pain.
"NOW!" Rick yelled, turning on Spirit Unity.
For one hundred and eighty seconds, his power would be stronger than normal. He could feel all four of his Spirit Bonds working together perfectly, with their energies flowing through him in a way that felt almost musical.
His movements were so swift that they blurred. His dragon-like wings sent him spiraling around the corrupted Zork, and his claws hit dozens of times a second.
His Tactical Mind told him where to hit, and his Demon Sight showed him where to hit. He wasn’t just attacking at random, but he was following a specific pattern that was meant to stop the flow of corrupt energy through the creature’s body.
Carmilla understood his plan right away. She stood at the creature’s legs, and with practiced skill, her sword cut through the joints. Every hit was meant to keep the corrupted Zork from moving around so Rick could work on it.
Natasha built a cage of ice around the battlefield, with huge walls of frozen energy that kept the creature from getting away. Her frost magic and Rick’s Frost Aura worked together to make the area so cold that the corruption energy itself started to slow down and turn into crystals.
Zara fought with rage that came from her sadness and her will to win. Her two swords maneuvered seamlessly, identifying every vulnerability in the creature’s defenses.
She knew this body better than anyone else. She knew where her husband’s original form had been strongest, which meant that the corruption had to work the hardest to keep control.
The combined assault was devastating. The corrupted Zork, which had overwhelmed three major powers earlier, now found itself being pushed back by a coordinated team working in perfect synchronization.
However...
The corruption wasn’t done yet....
