Chapter 542 - The Fall of the Crow
Everyone held their breath as the massive pickaxe spun through the air, racing toward the Crow Guardian.
SexyGrill and SexyBloom remained relentless, pushing the beast into a corner.
At the same time, 200 enormous boulders began to plummet from the sky like a storm of meteors, spinning and hurtling toward the battlefield. Hundreds of streaks of lightning accompanied this magnificent chaos, striking the ground around the falling boulders, creating a thunderous symphony of destruction.
From below, the earth rumbled as the ground lifted, revealing what looked like the massive, gaping mouth of a colossal worm, ready to devour a chunk of the battlefield.
Then, the pickaxe struck.
BA-BA-BOOM! BOOM!
A chain of explosions erupted, lifting the ground and shattering the earth beneath it. The impact was so massive that it felt as if the world itself was being torn apart. Darkness consumed the area as the giant worm's mouth surged up from below, swallowing everything in its path, including some of the Crow Guardian's forces.
GRRRRRRUMBLE!
The 200 massive boulders hit the earth in a devastating sequence, sending monsters flying, exploding on impact, and tearing the ground apart.
KRA-KA-BOOM!
RUMBLE-CRACK!
Hundreds of lightning strikes followed, brutally hammering the battlefield. The sound of roars, cries, and sheer devastation filled the air as the destruction spread.
Though the damage was only affecting the monsters, the environmental effects of the cataclysmic explosion didn't spare everyone. Players caught within the quake-like shockwaves were thrown into the air, feeling the earth beneath them tremble as the battle reached a level of chaos none could have anticipated.
The sheer magnitude of the attack was undeniable. It was a supermassive area of destruction, and Broken could immediately see the devastating effects. Hundreds of monsters perished instantly. Even SexyGrill and SexyBloom leveled up rapidly from the chaos, their stats rising quickly.
Broken, however, couldn't help but feel a pang of frustration.
Of course, I'm the only one who didn't level up.
He sighed but quickly reminded himself that, thanks to SexyGrill's Lust Champion blessing, he'd been able to unleash such devastating damage in the first place. That alone was worth it.
He shot into the air, as did SexyGrill and SexyBloom, both flying upward to escape the clouds of debris from the massive impact that obscured their vision.
But something gnawed at him.
There's no way...
He thought, scanning the battlefield desperately.
I haven't seen the notification for the Crow Guardian's death yet. After that huge attack?
Just then, SexyGrill's message flashed on his vision, confirming his fears.
[SexyGrill: "The attack hit the Crow. It's in bad shape now, but we need to finish it off before it recovers."]
The Crow Guardian was still alive, barely holding on—but time was running out.
Without wasting a moment, Broken swiftly switched to the Wavebreaker Spear and donned his Invincible Paragon armor set.
[Berserker Rage (Active Skill) activated.]
Immediately, he felt a surge of power as 80% of his Constitution stat transferred into his Strength.
[Health: 980 | Mana: 6,228]
[Strength: 1894 | Agility: 575 | Intelligence: 612 | Constitution: 84 | Stamina: 438]
[Weight: 2,641/11,364]
Broken floated toward the battered Crow Guardian, his spear spinning rapidly in his hands. As he closed in on his target, he unleashed a powerful slash with the Wavebreaker Spear, sparks flying as his blade collided with the Crow Guardian's magical barrier.
In response, the Crow Guardian's hands moved with lightning speed, summoning transparent discs that encircled it. These discs formed an impenetrable shield around the Guardian, rendering it immune to Broken's physical attacks.
"So... are you fast enough to withstand all my attacks?"
Suddenly, the Crow Guardian launched into a flurry of movements, its body seemingly vanishing in a blur of speed, only to reappear on the other side of the battlefield.
In the next instant, a large and imposing shield came flying from a distance, spinning through the air at incredible speed. It was aimed directly at the Crow Guardian, but instead of letting it go unchallenged, the Guardian met the blow head-on. The impact sent it crashing to the ground with a deafening thud.
Before Broken could react, Ivana appeared out of thin air, catching the massive shield in her hands with a practiced ease.
After that, five flying swords streaked through the air, repeatedly slashing at the Crow Guardian as it reappeared at different locations. SexyGrill and SexyBloom flew closer, hovering near Ivana.
"Hi, Ivana…" SexyBloom greeted with a playful smile. "I'm Broken's sister out there, it's nice to finally meet you."
"Hi..." Ivana replied, a bit caught off guard.
"Bloom! Call me Bloom," SexyBloom quickly corrected.
"Hi Bloom, you're so cute... can you be my little sister too?" Ivana asked, grinning.
"Do you mean sister-in-law?"
"Ah, I think that's a great idea too," Ivana chuckled.
Cough! Cough! Find adventures at empire
SexyGrill interrupted, floating nearby. "Bloom, don't forget, I'll be your sister-in-law too, okay?"
"I didn't hear that."
"Hi, Grill," Ivana greeted.
"Hi, Ivana," SexyGrill grinned. "Let's finish off this trash, and then we can talk more about everything."
"Yes, sure."
The three girls darted swiftly, joining Broken in his battle with the Crow Guardian. It was clear the enemy was on the verge of destruction, its strength waning with every blow. The relentless attacks had worn it down significantly.
The Crow Guardian kept vanishing and reappearing, but Ivana was quick. She hurled her shield with precision, sending the Guardian crashing to the ground. In an instant, Broken followed up with a rain of spears falling from the sky.
"Do you think monster crow meat is edible, Ivana?" Broken asked with a grin.
"I've never tasted it before, but if you're interested, I can roast its head for you."
"I don't think it's a good idea, but I'm curious enough to let you try," he said excitedly.
Suddenly, Dendros lunged from the side, his knuckles finding its mark as it attacked through the Guardian's neck.
Broken didn't hesitate. With immense speed, he thrust his spear forward, aiming for the Crow Guardian's neck. In a flash, the crow's head was severed clean from its body. As his water domain began to fade and cascaded back down to the earth.
"It's over!" Broken exclaimed. "It's really over!"
The sound of thunder and lightning echoed across the battlefield, the remnants of Elincia's immense power rippling through the air. She was pouring every ounce of Mana and Stamina into her final attacks, leaving the battlefield awestruck by her sheer strength.
Meanwhile, Melliandra, Optimus, and Kingsley successfully defeat the Monkey Guardian, marking a turning point.
The players and residents of Deadbay City had won the great battle of the day.
"We did it! We did it, brother, we did it!" SexyBloom screamed hysterically as she flew toward Broken, hugging him tightly and bouncing with joy. "We did it!"
She released him, grabbed Ivana's hand, and pulled her into the embrace. Ivana also hugged Broken, followed by SexyGrill, who joined in the group hug, surrounding him with excitement.
"We did it, we won!"
Elincia approached and joined the celebration, wrapping her arms around the others.
"We did it! We won!"
"We won!" they all cheered in unison.
In the distance, they saw the last of the monsters, still ferociously attacking, collapse and wither before falling to the ground. Victory was finally, unmistakably theirs.
Melliandra descended from above, but her attention was suddenly diverted when a stray attack from other players accidentally hit her.
"You idiots, be careful with your attacks!" she yelled, snapping her sniper rifle up and firing a barrage of brutal shots toward them.
"Melliandra, please forgive us!"
"We didn't mean to!"
Broken and the others glanced her way and couldn't help but laugh at the scene.
The battle was over, and despite the chaos, the joy of victory was palpable.

(Author's Note:)
Phew! Writing this whole Dissidia battle arc was no joke! It's been a wild ride. I really hope you all enjoyed reading it as much as I enjoyed bringing it to life.
That was one epic finish! We had massive pickaxes, a storm of falling boulders, lightning storms, flying swords and shields—and let's not forget the giant worm that could eat half the battlefield!
Honestly, we might need to rename this chapter to "Broken and the Girls Who Could Destroy the World." 😂
