Modern Cultivation : The Strongest Couple Bonded by Vampire System-Chapter 668: Spider Web
Olivia’s shifted away from the two light bodies and locked onto the dimmed sun.
If the illusion come from the system’s soul, then the core had to be somewhere.
And in this star system, nothing was more "core" than the sun.
Olivia vanished. reappeared in front of the sun’s blazing edge, Caliburn raised, red crystal burning like a second star.
SLASH!!!
She swung straight down, aiming to cut the sun itself.
A light body appeared in front of her.
CLANG!!!
The invisible wall blocked her again.
The clash sent a shockwave that tore the sun’s outer flames into a spiral, twisting them into a violent storm.
Olivia’s eyes narrowed. "Tch"
The light body shook than it split.
Two became four.
Four light bodies stood around Olivia in a square formation.
BAM!!!
One hit her from the left.
BAM!!!
One hit her from the right.
The other two struck together, one above, one below, smashing space around her like a cage closing in.
Olivia’s body jolted. Her armor did not crack, but the pressure forced her back like she was being crushed between walls.
She dodged and slashed.
SLASH!!! SLASH!!!
Two red arcs cut outward.
Asteroids in the distance vanished. A moon cracked and burst into dust.
The four light bodies flickered, their outlines tearing for a brief moment.
Then the damage reformed instantly.
Olivia clicked her tongue. "So annoying."
BAM!!!
A kick hit her spine.
Olivia spun and countered with a thrust.
SLASH!!!
The red edge hit the invisible wall again.
But she did not pull away.
She pushed the blade forward with her whole body, forcing the cut to press into the invisible wall.
CRACK!
The four light bodies flickered unevenly.
Olivia’s eyes sharpened. She found a weak point on the invisible wall. "There."
She shifted her wrist, changing the direction of her attack.
SLASH!!!
A crack opened in front of her, and the reflections inside it shook like glass under stress.
The four light bodies reacted instantly and rushed her.
BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM!
Four hits landed in one breath.
Olivia’s got pushed, she was send flying her body rolled around in the space like it had a ground..
Caliburn flared with intense glow.
"You want to stop me?" she said, "In your dream."
SLASH!!! SLASH!!! SLASH!!!
These three cut now contain all her power.
Each one targeting a single spot in the invisible barrier.
CLANG! BOOM!!!
The four light bodies flickered as they try to block Olivia’s attack.
But Olivia doesn’t stop here.
She vanished, and reappeared above the four light being and dove straight down, using the opportunity to crack the illusion.
SLASH!!!
The red line pierced through the invisible barrier, going straight to the sun.
The four light bodies froze for a fraction of a second.
Then they started to merge.
Olivia’s eyes widened. "So you can still do that."
The four lights collapsed into one.
Their presence become more solid, and heavier.
A feminine outline formed.
A woman made of pure light, with long hair of drifting radiance and a body that looked smooth and unreal, as if carved out of a single piece of divine glass.
Swossh!!!
Olivia’s instincts screamed of the danger.
She tried to retreat, but it’s too late.
BAM!!!
The light woman appeared behind her.
A blade of condensed light formed in her hand, like a needle forged from a star.
Thrust.
The blade pierced through Olivia’s back.
It punched out of her chest.
Breaking her armor like it’s a tofu.
For a moment, Olivia’s body went still.
The red crystal in Caliburn flared wildly.
Olivia’s lips cannot be seen but inside she smiled.
This attack is out of her expectation, but it doesn’t mean she couldn’t use it to her advantage.
Then her eyes hardened again.
Even with a blade through her chest, her arm moved.
SLASH!!!
Caliburn slashed trough the invisible wall, passing trough it and hit the sun.
BAM!!!
The sun split in half.
The cut was clean, straight, like someone is cutting a apple.
One half of the sun drifted away.
The other half stayed, flames stretching between them.
Then the entire star system shattered like a mirror.
CRACK!!!
Planets, moons, debris, even the darkness between them broke into countless glass-like fragments.
The fragments did not fly outward.
They hung in place, suspended in a dead stillness.
For a brief moment, there was no "space" anymore.
It felt like the inside of a broken crystal.
Alex’s throat locked. His eyes widened as the view around him turned surreal.
Mingyue’s breath stopped, as she saw what happened to the real system.
Thin, pale threads stretched out from planets, moons, and even drifting debris.
They linked together in every direction, connecting everything into a massive web.
A spiderweb covering the entire system.
All living being on the star system now were covered inside a cocoon.
They’re the source of soul that Lolth use against the primordial representative.
Some threads also ran into the sun.
Some ran into the shattered fragments.
And at the center of it all, the web tightened toward a single point.
Alex’s eyes widened in shock. "So this is the Lolth trick..."
Mingyue’s also feel the same. "To use the whole system as part of her power..."
It’s both dreadful, and amazing at the same time.
Lolth has done this all in a fraction of moment.
It’s like this all created the moment she was regenerated.
The light woman slowly pulled her blade back out of Olivia’s chest.
Olivia’s blood clung to the threads.
Each dark drop hung on the web like a bead, as if the web itself was drinking it.
Olivia’s body shook once.
She forced herself to move.
Her eyes lifted, staring through the shattered "mirror" to a single point.
Then she smiled, "So that’s where you’ve been hiding."
In the middle of the web the moon sized spider could be seen with all her eyes still closed.
Even on her current situation Olivia is not afraid, these kind of wound is nothing for her.
