Re-Awakening: I Ascend with a Legendary class - Chapter 586: Final Stretch
Chapter 586: Final Stretch
[The Regalon Pair has defeated the Obsidian Void Pair.]
The pillar of golden light pierced the sky like a divine spear.
The inner continent had fully awakened.
Floating landmasses rotated in slow, grinding spirals around the center. Gravity currents pulled sideways. Violet forests bent inward as if worshipping the Cup’s emergence. Thundercloud ravines cracked open, revealing molten veins beneath fractured obsidian plains.
Three other light signatures were moving.
Fast.
All converging toward the core.
Almond and Lily looked at each other and nodded.
The plan was formed.
They wanted all the resources from the central area that just unlocked, and also wanted to win.
Only when both people of the pair touch the victory cup would they win.
So the solution for maximum gains was simple.
Kill the other pairs first, and then leisurely collect all the resources before touching the cup at the end of the game.
Three pairs were already clashing near the outer ring of the core zone.
Explosions flared.
Singularities blinked in and out of existence.
A tidal wave of frost swallowed half a floating island before shattering under a rain of black lances.
Almond and Lily moved.
Seven hundred Dreadlings fanned outward in layered formations. Skirmishers vanished into gravity folds. Tactical Control units seeded perception grids across floating rock chains. Logistic Nexus units hung back, waiting to harvest while searching for resources and collecting them.
Alfred stood slightly ahead of Almond, blade lowered but ready. Sylvia expanded Verdant Throne Domain in a quiet radius that stabilized their footing against shifting gravity.
They did not rush the Cup.
They angled wide and targeted the first pair that came into view across a shattered crystal plateau—Frost Diminion Pair.
They were mid-battle with another team.
The male was a towering figure clad in jagged glacier armor, frost vapor pouring from the gaps in his plating. A crown of icicle spires rotated above his head.
His partner floated behind him, body semi-transparent like sculpted permafrost, long ribbons of frozen mist trailing from her limbs. Every gesture she made froze the air solid.
Their opponents were already retreating.
Too slow.
The glacier-armored male slammed both fists down.
A continent-scale frost shockwave erupted outward.
Half a floating landmass froze mid-rotation.
The retreating pair shattered into respawn light.
Eliminated.
Only one Frost Dominion pair remained.
They turned.
They saw Almond and Lily watching.
The ice queen’s lips curved slightly.
She raised both hands.
A cathedral of ice erupted upward, spears forming in the thousands.
Almond moved first.
New Tier-10 Rare-rank Grimblade from a monster he killed recently—Infernal Vulkun Furyblade rotated once.
Intensely hot plasma forked across the frozen sky.
BOOM!
The ice spears detonated mid-formation with the aggressive elemental reaction from plasma.
Molten veins carved rivers of gold across glacial constructs.
The armored male charged.
Each step froze the ground beneath him into spiked formations.
Alfred met him head-on, his stats boosted.
Leviathan’s Verdict Blade clashed against a frost greatsword taller than a tower.
Shockwaves cracked the frozen plateau.
Sylvia’s pollen filled the air.
Frost dominance weakened slightly.
Lily lifted her hand.
Evermore Dreadspire Bloom ignited.
Five seconds.
Stacked debuffs, layered suppression, bombardment, dread corruption, and control pulses.
All were released simultaneously.
The ice queen staggered mid-cast.
Voidtrace burned bright across the armored male’s chest seam.
Almond stepped inside his guard.
Oblivion Tyrant’s Final Testament descended.
Voidfracture Bloom multiplied into ten intersecting arcs.
The glacier armor split in symmetrical fracture lines.
Silent Execution triggered.
The core beneath the armor separated cleanly.
Respawn light.
Ten seconds.
The ice queen attempted to retreat through a freezing mist portal.
A distant fracture line cut the air.
Her body snapped back into solidity.
One thrust.
Ten mirrored fracture-lines converged at her center.
Respawn light.
Frost Dominion eliminated.
Two pairs remain.
The battlefield shifted toward a molten basin suspended in mid-air.
Target—The Infernal Ascendancy Pair.
Two figures hovered above lava rivers that flowed upward instead of down.
The male was wreathed in living flame, skin cracked with glowing magma veins. Horns of black basalt curved backward from his skull.
His partner was composed of pure incandescent plasma, humanoid only by outline, wings trailing solar flares behind her.
They were not retreating.
They were farming Tier-10 monsters while advancing.
Efficient.
Aggressive.
They noticed Almond immediately as he and Lily encroached on their battlefield.
The magma-horned male roared.
The lava rivers surged upward into whips.
The plasma woman compressed into a spear of light and launched forward.
The sky turned white.
Almond didn’t blink.
Voidfracture Bloom cut the incoming spear into recursive halves.
Each fracture detonated outward in arcs of burning plasma.
Pulse Devour Sigil ignited as minor burns closed instantly.
Dominion stacked.
Lily’s Tank-class Dreadlings absorbed the first wave of magma whips.
Bomber-class units blanketed the basin in layered dreadfire explosions.
The magma male leapt forward, greatblade of condensed basalt descending toward Lily.
Alfred intercepted.
Leviathan’s Verdict Blade and basalt greatblade collided.
Magma splashed outward in a molten shockwave.
Sylvia expanded Verdant Throne Domain again, stabilizing allies against extreme heat.
The plasma woman reformed behind Almond.
Her arm elongated into a blade of solar light.
It pierced through his shoulder.
Pulse Devour Sigil surged.
The wound sealed.
Almond pivoted mid-stab.
Silent Execution.
The plasma core inside her chest split invisibly.
Her body destabilized into respawn light.
Ten seconds.
The magma male roared in fury.
He unleashed a continent-scale eruption.
Floating rocks melted.
Air ignited.
Almond stepped through the inferno.
Voidtrace marked the exact line beneath his sternum where magma pressure thinned.
One upward diagonal slash.
Voidfracture Bloom multiplied.
Magma veins ruptured.
Silent Execution followed instantly.
[The Reglaon Pair has defeated the Infernal Ascendency Pair]
One pair remains—the Mirage Sovereign Pair.
Two figures stood side by side on a floating prism that refracted the golden pillar into a thousand distorted reflections.
The first appeared human at a glance.
Then wrong.
Her body was composed of mirrored segments that shifted every second, reflecting different versions of herself in each pane.
Her partner was tall and slender, limbs bending at unnatural angles. His face was a blank silver mask that constantly rippled with moving eyes beneath its surface.
Their lifeform was based on Illusion and perception specialists.
They bowed slightly at Almond and Lily while smiling.
Then the world shattered into copies.
Hundreds of mirrored platforms unfolded around the Cup.
Hundreds of them.
Every direction held an identical pair.
Lily’s Skirmishers struck first.
Half vanished into false reflections.
Almond closed his eyes briefly.
Voidtrace.
The illusions thinned.
Lines emerged.
Only two signatures had true core weight.
“Marked him,” he said quietly.
They moved together.
New Tier-10 Rare-rank Grimblade from a Tier-10 Monsters he killed while fighting the other pair—Deathstorm Segregator, detonated lightning across mirrored skies.
Illusions cracked.
The mask-faced male appeared above Almond.
His arm elongated into a reflective scythe.
It cut through Almond’s torso.
Respawn warning flickered…but Pulse Devour Sigil surged from a simultaneous strike Almond had landed seconds earlier.
He stabilized, keeping himself alive.
Dominion stacked higher.
Alfred locked blades with the mirrored woman.
Sylvia flooded the field with radiant pollen, disrupting reflective surfaces.
Illusions flickered violently.
Voidtrace locked onto the mask’s true anchor beneath the platform.
Almond leapt upward.
Oblivion Tyrant’s Final Testament thrust forward.
Voidfracture Bloom multiplied mid-air.
Ten fracture lines sliced through mirrored platforms simultaneously.
The mask split down the center.
Silent Execution triggered.
Respawn light.
Ten seconds.
The mirrored woman screamed.
All illusions collapsed inward into her core.
She attempted to flee into a refracted shard of the golden pillar itself.
Voidtrace followed the distortion.
A single horizontal slash.
Ten mirrored arcs.
Her body fragmented into shards.
[The Regalon Pair has defeated the Mirage Sovereign Pair]
The inner continent continued to rotate slowly.
Molten rivers flowed.
Floating debris drifted.
The golden pillar remained steady.
Almond lowered the Exalted blade.
Dominion stacks faded one by one.
Lily exhaled softly, a smile on her lips as she looked at Almond. “We did it. Time to harvest the field.”
Almond grinned. “I reckon we’ll earn and get enough to break through to Tier-5 at least.”
