Chapter 660 Jointly Destroy
Chapter 660 Jointly Destroy
The Ancient Earthwalker Dragon's crimson eyes locked onto us invaders, its body wrapped in countless twisted vines and tumors—clearly it had been deeply corrupted too.
Looking at this terrifying, desperate scene before me, my fighting spirit was completely ignited at this moment.
We finally found it!
As long as we destroy this fungal nest and kill this Ancient Earthwalker Dragon, we can eradicate the plague and save Mist Island.
"Everyone! Target the fungal nest core ahead! Destroy it at all costs," I roared as the Stellar Trident in my hand erupted with holy light capable of purifying all evil.
Wendy's guidance was like a beam of light tearing through the darkness, allowing us to instantly lock onto our target—that massive writhing mass of flesh emitting a dark red glow and constantly spewing plague spores, along with the deeply corrupted Ancient Earthwalker Dragon coiled beneath it.
They were the culprits behind this abyssal plague.
Destroy them, and we could save all of Mist Island.
This thought was like a spark thrown into dry kindling, instantly igniting the fighting spirit in all our hearts.
But the reality was far trickier than imagined.
The corrupted Ancient Earthwalker Dragon was terrifyingly strong, covered in obsidian-hard dragon scales that made most of our attacks like scratching an itch.
And the dragon's breath it spewed, mixed with rift energy and deadly poison, could corrode even stone and melt steel—once touched, flesh would dissolve instantly.
Even worse, it seemed connected to the entire corrupted fungal nest, able to draw power endlessly.
The wounds we desperately inflicted on it would heal rapidly in moments as black fungal threads writhed.
And that fungal nest core itself was an unkillable blood bag—while feeding the Ancient Earthwalker Dragon, it also frantically spawned burrowing worms and various fungal monsters, endlessly wearing us down.
Our small team were all battle-hardened veterans, but facing this endless siege and nearly unkillable monster, we gradually began to falter, with casualties mounting.
Finn's harpoon gun barrel was so hot it could fry an egg, nearly exploding several times.
Gulama's bone club was smashed in two by the Ancient Earthwalker Dragon's claw, and he himself was injured internally, coughing up blood from the massive impact.
Uta and Zara were also wounded in multiple places fighting the fungal monsters, in constant danger.
"Matthew, this won't work," Olivia conjured dark golden energy shields, struggling to block the raging dragon's breath as she shouted urgently to me, "That fungal nest core seems connected to this area's underground energy lines. With endless energy from the underground lines, it can infinitely revive that Ancient Earthwalker Dragon and create more monsters! We must cut off their energy supply."
Olivia's words struck like lightning, splitting open my thoughts.
Something instantly surfaced from deep in my memory—the miniature Gaia's Heart from the Atlantis ruins.
It was a replica of the super device ancient people used to regulate the planet's core energy, capable of affecting and controlling underground energy lines.
Though it had long been dormant, after I merged with the Heart of the Tide and mastered the Star Sea Divine Authority, the trident in my hand could now simulate and channel that same planetary source power.
Perhaps I could use the trident to temporarily activate it, disrupting the energy flow in this area's underground lines, thus cutting off the fungal nest's energy supply.
Once this thought emerged, it grew wildly.
The risk was enormous—if I failed, I might suffer severe backlash from the underground energy—but right now, this seemed to be the only chance to break the deadlock and turn defeat into victory.
"Olivia, Zara, keep it busy, buy me time," I made the decision instantly, my plan transmitting to them through our mental link.
Both their faces changed, clearly understanding how dangerous this plan was, but they just exchanged a glance, then looked at me with utterly determined eyes.
"Alright! Matthew, we trust you," Olivia took a deep breath as the galaxy mark on her forehead suddenly burst with unprecedented brilliant light.
She held nothing back, channeling all her Chaos Star Power, transforming it into chains of chaos filled with devouring energy, wrapping around the corrupted Ancient Earthwalker Dragon from all directions.
"Tide Whisper Arcana, Sea God's Binding," Zara also cried out, her coral staff radiating a flexible blue glow, drawing water elements to form energy whips.
Coordinating with Olivia's chains, they tightly bound the Ancient Earthwalker Dragon's limbs and its ferocious head.
The two stunning beauties displayed amazing coordination in this moment, forcibly pinning that terrifying Ancient Earthwalker Dragon in place.
Now's my chance!
I seized this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and thrust the Stellar Trident hard into the ground covered with black fungal threads.
"Star Sea Divine Authority, awaken the earth! Gaia's Heart, heed my call," I poured all my Star Sea power, along with my understanding of the miniature Gaia's Heart, channeling it through the trident deep into the underground energy lines without reservation, trying to activate that power sleeping in my soul's imprint.
As if responding to my call, the trident in my hand and the imprint deep in my soul simultaneously resonated with joy.
A wonderful sensation flooded my entire body as I connected with the island's entire underground energy network—every tremor of the earth beneath my feet, every flow of energy, appeared clearly in my perception.
I had gained temporary control over this area's underground energy.
"Now! Reverse the underground energy flow, strip the power," I roared, using this control to its fullest.
Following my will, the energy flow at the bottom of the cavern began reversing without warning—the underground power surging toward the corrupted fungal nest was forcibly cut off by an invisible hand, then an even stronger stripping force acted on the fungal nest core and the Ancient Earthwalker Dragon.
Their connection to the underground energy lines—I tore it apart by force.
Losing its energy supply, the massive fungal nest core let out a pained wail, the tumors and blood vessels on its surface withering at a visible rate, and the plague spores it spewed became thin and weak.
The bound Ancient Earthwalker Dragon was like having its spine removed, its violent aura suddenly weakening by more than half, its hard dragon scales becoming dull and cracked, its nearly infinite recovery ability completely nullified.
"Success!" I was overjoyed but didn't dare relax for a moment, "Olivia, Zara, full attack! Destroy the fungal nest core! Kill this beast."
I roared as the trident erupted with brilliant azure divine flames, "The Star Sea Divine Flame consumes all evil."
A massive flame tornado descended from above, crashing hard into the now-vulnerable corrupted fungal nest core.
"Chaotic Starburst, Ultimate Judgment," Olivia shouted.
