chapter 3173: goodbye

the twins' strongest attack when they combined their forces. this time, they went even further, as they could use their own version of the red lightning to increase the power of their light and dark elements. the fifth stage of sword and scythe intent joined the mix, all being supported by their sky energy!
*boom!*
knowing the location of the cocoon, they hit it perfectly. the cocoon was immediately blasted over a kilometer away, and its invisibility was nullified for several seconds.
yet, the chaos energy connecting it to the crack and rifindio seemed to act like elastic, making it bounce back. the attack also helped it pull rifindio even closer to it. why did it want rifindio so much, they didn't know. however, it seemed desperate to take rifindio into itself. "shit, it is too resistant!" rean complained.
neither rean nor roan held back just now. something the system asked them to get rid of definitely wasn't simple, especially considering the huge celestial points reward.
rifindio was just as shocked. not because the cocoon resisted the attack but because the power the twins showed just now was even stronger than his strongest attack. sure, the sun and moon obliteration took time to prepare, but it was still ridiculous. rean and roan didn't even use divine energy!
however, his mind quickly returned to the problem at hand. with all his might, rifindio tried to fly away from the cocoon, but the chaos energy enveloping his body continued to drag him closer and closer to the cocoon. the cocoon also seemed able to travel through that stream of chaos energy and was fast approaching rifindio.
rean paid close attention to the cocoon before it became invisible again. "it wasn't for nothing! there is a very tiny crack on that thing! let's try again!"
roan nodded, and with rifindio's help to locate it, the two attacked. kentucky also joined, attacking from the opposite side.
'death style, seventh form, sun and moon obliteration!'
'divine bird strike!'
*boom! boom!*
kentucky's attack arrived first, and it blasted the cocoon in the twins' direction. following that, the twins used that momentum to strike it back, increasing the power. once again, the cocoon was sent flying, canceling its invisibility power for even longer. still, the elastic effect took place once more. they tried to cut that connection of chaos energy, but it simply couldn't be struck at all. only that cocoon seemed to have a physical form for them to strike. "how is it even using chaos energy in such a way?!" rean couldn't help but complain.
the crack on the cocoon increased, but it was still barely visible. if this continued, rifindio would definitely be taken. besides, they could see the tiny aperture inside the spatial crack where the chaos energy came from. if it tried to retreat inside that place, the twins definitely wouldn't risk following it, even if it meant quest failure.
rean and roan snorted, though. "trying to flee? too late!"
*boooooommmm!!!*
an enormous blast of red dark and red light elements destroyed everything around. various spatial cracks opened in that already fragile dimensional realm, swallowing everything. as for the cocoon... it wasn't destroyed. however, there was now an opening on it, and inside, one could see some flesh and blood pulsating.
*zush!*
it was severely wounded, but it ignored everything and flew even faster in the crack's
direction.
*swish, swish, swish!*
too bad, though. the twins and kentucky didn't think for a single second that they would succeed with that attack. always expect the worst-case scenario. roan made sure to drill that way of thinking into rean and kentucky's minds.
kentucky's sky blade feathers, as well as rean and roan's sword and scythe, pierced right into that opening in the cocoon.
"goodbye."
they ignited their powers, obliterating the contents inside the cocoon that was now completely defenseless.
*grahhrhrrrrrrrrrrr!*
a strident and weird scream could be heard for a moment... before everything settled again.
*pin!*
