Monster Gacha System: Becoming The Final Boss-Chapter 165 | The Capital Siege Part 3

"This-" Duke August was astounded, recognizing the impossible resilience of the monstrous abomination. If it were any other creature, it would have already been crushed to death.

Even the True Bloods wouldn't have stood a chance if they dared to face his spectral colossus without utilizing any Blood Techniques.

His crimson gaze furrowed as the endurance of the Leviathan got stronger with each destructive punch. It appears that pure destruction wasn't enough anymore.

Duke August glanced at his senior and appeared beside him. Duke November noticed the grave expression on his junior and raised his eyebrows. "Something wrong?"

"The Leviathan is adapting to my destruction. Unfortunately, it wouldn't take long until it completely adapted." August remarked, glaring at the monstrous abomination.

Duke November frowned, understanding the troublesome situation. "Why not utilize a stronger, destructive power? You should be capable of doing more, right?"

"Indeed, I am... But if the Leviathan managed to endure it in some way. The consequences would be dire." What Duke August meant was simple.

The monstrous abomination would be entirely adapted to the destruction brought about by the spectral colossus.

His Blood Technique would be ineffective by then. The power of his Microcosm, once activated, would be heavily capped. In simpler terms, it was too much of a risk.

"Then what do you have in mind?" Duke November inquired, since his destructive capabilities weren't as extreme as those of his junior.

"The adaptations do not seem to be permanent. Otherwise, it wouldn't take long for this monster to surpass us." Duke August stated, earning the agreement of his senior.

"You're right about that. While I was confident in the temporal wall, the severity of that beam seemed to have been diminished after you attacked it."

"Looks like what should be done is fairly clear." Duke November muttered under his breath and utilized his Blood Technique. "I'll try finding ways to handle it."

His temporal domain expanded, consuming the entirety of the monstrous abomination. In mere moments, the clock behind him materialized. Tightening his fingers, he took the hour hand of the clock.

It became its temporal blade, a weapon of space and time.

Using such power exhausted his reserves. After all, wielding temporal power was costly. Otherwise, he would have been much stronger than anyone or anything.

The New World heavily limited his capabilities, halting him from controlling the temporal clock of the world and forcing him to utilize it in a domain.

For this reason, he had grown to become the second-strongest in the True Bloods. It was through his extreme efforts and utilization of ancient knowledge that temporal domains could be made.

Or else, he would have been a ruler without a kingdom.

"Let's see how much you can handle." Since the Leviathan couldn't handle more than one aetheric property, Duke November wasn't afraid of the monstrous abomination adapting to his Blood Technique.

As long as he could switch with Duke August, the destructive power of his junior should be wholly capable of annihilating the Leviathan in a single strike.

When the temporal blade descended, everything in its path was severed from space and time. In a single moment, the monstrous abomination was cleaved into two separate halves.

Its gargantuan body became two, descending simultaneously in the stormy heavens.

Duke November watched with a solemn expression, perceiving that the Leviathan wasn't perfectly severed by the temporal blade. Such endurance...

Even the Progenitor itself wasn't capable of doing such a thing.

But the True Blood didn't panic as this was within their expectations. Glancing at his junior beside him, he remarked. "It survived my strongest attack."

"By now, it should have almost entirely adapted to my Blood Technique. I suggest you not waste strength and utilize your imprinted domain." Duke November advised.

Since his temporal blade, capable of severing anything across space and time, wasn't capable of annihilating the Leviathan. It was clear that destructive attacks weren't enough.

What they needed was something capable of bending the figment of reality. As such, a Microcosm was required to achieve victory.

As the Leviathan's separate halves connected to one another, it roared at the True Bloods and charged towards the capital.

Duke November didn't even bother to stop it anymore. His temporal domain would be shattered like glass now that it had adapted to his Blood Technique.

BOOM!

Out of nowhere, an explosion reverberated from behind them. One of the aetheric weapons collapsed, its gigantic parts descending upon buildings. Entire districts were flattened as chaos riddled the capital.

"What!?" He was dumbfounded and looked back at the cityscape behind them. Through his intricate senses, he recognized that the bombing was the work of the cult.

"Damnit!" A recently emerging cult managed to destroy one of their aetheric weapons. Not only was it troublesome, but it was also humiliating for the Clan.

"I'll handle the capital." Duke November announced to his colleague as he disappeared from the skies. Duke August didn't utter a single response as he concentrated and activated an imprinted domain.

The moment the Leviathan would be consumed by the Microcosm, it would be devoured by destruction in a single instant.

"Microcosm-"

But as Duke August was about to envelop the entire area into his imprinted domain, trumpets reverberated from the heavens. The blackened skies parted as thunder rumbled in the background.

He frowned as he noticed the arrival of a troublesome individual. It seems that they merely didn't need to worry about the three monstrous abominations.

A gorgeous lady descended from the golden light that gleamed through the parted storm clouds. Her body, sculpted by the grace of the gods, was embraced by a yukata.

She was much taller than anyone, resembling an incarnated god rather than a mortal or immortal from the New World.

"How troublesome... Hurting a fellow apostle of our great lord." Disappointment was laced in her tone, akin to that of a mother speaking to a misbehaving child.

"Your Clan has offended Lord Oberon. You must pay the price." Yuki's gaze was cold as oppression radiated from her and enveloped the entirety of the capital.

"Lord Oberon?" Duke August raised his eyebrows and stopped himself from utilizing a Microcosm. The reason was simple.

Yuki was much stronger than the Leviathan; the oppressive atmosphere emanating from her body almost reminded the True Blood of their Progenitor.

It was also a battle of one against two.

If he failed during the Microcosm battle, the consequence would be dire for him. It was better to confront them conventionally and not initiate an imprined domain clash.

However, Yuki gazed upon the capital and declared a decree.

"Every second, ten of your people shall die." It was a Thousandfold Decree, the Dominion over Life and Death.

Duke August's crimson gaze widened when he realized that the deaths within the capital were mounting despite the resistance of the authorities. It must have originated from her declaration.

"What the-" Such power shouldn't be held by a single being.

Meanwhile...

Somewhere in the lower half of the New World, Damien watched the entirety of the capital through the Omniscient Sovereignty. Just now, he had sent Yuki to assist the Leviathan.

The reason was somewhat simple.

He wanted to force the emergence of the Vampire Progenitor. To do so, he must inflict as much damage as he can on the capital.

Besides, after the True Bloods battled against the Leviathan. He realized something crucial. If the Fourth-Star Monster could rival an elite of the True Bloods, what would the Fifth-Star Monster compare to?

Taking a deep breath, he glanced at his status display and saw his Terror Points rising much more than ever before. Looks like his plans had to change.
