Chapter 119: Infernal Comet Runic Set’s destructive power

The Infernal Comet Runic Set allowed the young man to jump into the air for dozens of meters and fall with destructive and explosive might. However, he had little control over the descent, which was a weak point.

That was where the Bloodline Ability came into effect. Through Lightning Forged Charge, lightning energy covered Vlad’s body, and the next second, he let it loose, allowing his body to blast through the air in the desired direction, increasing his momentum and explosive fall even more!

"Push all your energy into the spell!" Jormungandr shouted toward the old viking as his Magic burst forth, and he opened his mouth, covering the trio in a powerful Lightning Barrier Spell.

Grey Hawk immediately followed Jormungandr’s command, pouring every ounce of his energy into the Frost Nova as he sensed the explosive might in the fall of the young man. Vlad had managed to steer the fall away from the ground, but the impending explosion still loomed, threatening to engulf them all!

Freya did not remain steady either. The young woman charged all her energy into her shield as she placed herself in front of the duo, generating a third defensive barrier just in time to see the raging meteorite crash into the ground.

Silence reigned when Vlad’s flaming figure crashed into the ground, but it did not last long, as a booming explosion echoed the next second.

"BOOOOOOOOMMMMMM!"

It was as if a ballistic missile had landed in the demonic forest. The impact created a massive crater, obliterating the demonic trees and mutated vines within its radius. The pressure wave and heat generated caused trees to be uprooted, snapped, or charred, with everything else blasted into smithereens.

Luckily for the trio, they were right outside of Vlad’s primary blast radius, but that did not mean they were out of danger. The fiery shock wave, a secondary effect of Vlad’s fall, blasted in all directions the next second, threatening to engulf them in its destructive path.

The demonic trees within this range experienced severe structural damage. The shockwave snapped trunks, broke branches, and uprooted smaller trees while blasting all the mutated vines. Some of the bigger trees remained standing, but the damage they endured was more than enough to destroy their vitality, ending their spirituality and life.

Freya, Jormungandr, and Grey Hawk watched in awe as the destructive might of the fiery shockwave destroyed everything before finally reaching them.

The old viking’s Frost Nova neutralized most of the heat wave, but the fiery blast, full of kinetic energy, still carried on. Freya used her shield and energy to break the blast’s force, her arm trembling as she clenched her teeth and remained steady, stopping the blast from overwhelming them. At the same time, Jormungandr charged more and more of his Magic into the Lightning Barrier Spell, protecting them from the demonic fire.

The trio’s combined power was just enough to shield them from the fiery blast, which reduced everything around them to ashes. It was a grueling task that drained them completely, but thankfully, it was over in a matter of seconds, leaving them with a sense of relief.

Once the destruction was over, the young woman, small cat, and old viking glanced around them, and none could hide the shock and awe at the destruction. The terrain ahead of them was just a massive crater, and everything around them was destroyed, with fire setting ablaze the rest of the forest.

The next second, they saw a figure emerge from the crater, most of his armor destroyed due to the impact, and it seemed he had suffered a lot of injuries by the way he was moving.

"Boss!" Jormungandr shouted as he deactivated his Lightning Barrier and flashed toward the core of the blast.

Vlad heard the small yellow cat’s voice and saw how it flashed toward him. He smiled, but soon, a painful expression appeared on his face as he had endured a lot of damage during that crash. The Infernal Comet Runic Set was designed to enhance his body to survive the massive crash. Still, he had empowered the explosive might with his rage and enhanced the momentum and impact power with his Bloodline Ability.

Those two enhancements took the power of the Runic Set to the next level, but they also forced his body to endure much greater pressure and damage, more than he could handle.

[Beep! Several of the host’s bones have received severe damage, and muscles have been torn. Radius, ulna, humerus, scaphoid, femur, and tibia present minor fractures!

...

The host requires immediate medical attention and rest!]

Vlad showed a rueful smile as he heard the analysis of the A.I. Chip but did not waste time, immediately taking a potion from his space ring and drinking all of it. That was a Rank 2 Alchemy Potion that Jormungandr had created, and the effects were fantastic as the young man immediately felt his body healing and the broken bones mending.

’Amazing, two more, and I would heal completely in just a few hours!’ Vlad was truly surprised by the power of the potion, but unfortunately, that was all he had.

Rank 2 Alchemy Potions were not easy to make, especially with the lack of healing plants at their disposal in the Silent Wind Military Base, so Jormungandr could only make two before their journey began, one for each. Of course, that was not all the resources Vlad had, as while the potion healed him, he took the hearts of demonic Champions from his space ring and began to devour them, allowing a second wave of vitality to wash over his body.

Jormungandr soon appeared beside Vlad, jumping onto his shoulder, with Freay and the old viking also arriving in the crater.

Usually, Vlad would not let people near him while he was injured, but he just smiled at the young woman. He entrusted her with his family, and she protected the small yellow cat with her body, gaining his trust.
