Chapter 239 - 239: That Was Intense
While Nulia and Amethyst journeyed north, Atlas needed to rest, his body gradually deteriorating under the strain of Chaos Energy. As he sat on the edge of the bed, a feeling urged him to head south in
Following that, he dashed forward while casting Void Bullet, which peppered the horde of monsters and stopped them coming for a second, allowing him to check the monster total to see how many they killed.
[Void Ghoul – 14519/20000]
[Void Savage Ghoul - 6851/10000]
[Void Brute Ghoul - 48/5000]

'Not many left; we can clear most of them in this run,'
Atlas thought as he swiftly cut down three Savage Ghouls that charged at him, his blade slicing through the air with precision.
He unleashed Void Barrage, a powerful spell that erupted from his fingertips and decimated dozens of the creatures. Meanwhile, Estelle stood firm beside him; her shield raised defiantly as she fended off any remaining ghouls that dared to approach.
The blonde warrior expertly deflected their attacks by creating a protective barrier around Atlas as his magic quickly finished off the remaining foes. Together, they formed a seamless partnership and worked well as a team.
Twenty minutes later, the Void Ghouls stopped appearing as an enraged roar echoed across the city, causing Atlas to warn the blonde, ''The Brutes are coming; be careful.''
Estelle nodded with a smile while readying for the incoming fight. Shortly after that, the couple noticed three Brute Ghouls rushing toward them. One of the creatures swung its massive arm toward her with deadly intent.
The blonde sidestepped the swing, feeling the rush of air as the Brute's fist narrowly missed her. Seizing the opportunity, she gathered her energy, her palms glowing with radiant light, ''Light Blast!'' she shouted, unleashing a brilliant energy beam that shot toward the creature.
It struck the Brute square in the chest, illuminating the dark surroundings with a blinding brilliance. The force of the impact sent the creature staggering back, its roar of fury echoing through the chaos.
Atlas followed up with a Void Bomb that sliced through the air and connected with the creature's chest. The spell erupted and wiped out many creatures before he started casting Void Barrage.
The azure projectiles peppered more Void Ghouls and Savages that continued coming. Estelle stood in front, holding most of them back. Atlas thinned out the horde thanks to his magic, but soon enough, the blonde was sent back to the real world.
It was too late when he realized what was happening; he could do little more than defend himself. The creatures swarmed around him, and the Brute Ghouls caught him off guard with a powerful punch to the gut.
Following that attack, he returned to the treehouse balcony, where Estelle waited for him, a radiant smile lighting up her face. ''That was intense,'' she said sweetly. ''Those Brutes came out of nowhere and sent me back here!''
Atlas chuckled before responding, ''Yes, that sent me back here. I can still feel the creature's power after it landed the attack.''
Estelle smiled as she stood up and asked, ''Would you like some Moonflower Tea? It may help with the pain.''
''Yes, please,'' he answered while slumping in the chair while watching the two moons above.
The blonde walked inside, leaving Atlas alone; that's when he checked the monster tally to see how many the duo had killed.
[Void Ghoul – 17921/20000]
[Void Savage Ghoul - 7516/10000]
[Void Brute Ghoul - 48/5000]

'Nearly done with the first set of Ghouls, maybe a few more goes with the girls and we will reach the boss,'
he thought with a smile.
