Supreme Couple In Apocalypse: Undead King & Demonic Queen

While Erix and Rin were under the ground, the Golem was rapidly approaching them.

So far, they have only recovered 65% of their Spirit force and still needed ten minutes to recover fully.

Alas, the time it would take for Golem to arrive was shorter than short.

On the way, it sensed a few more people in the ground and wasted some time to reach there and kill them.

Still, only two minutes passed before the Golem neared Erix and Rin's cavern, two thousand six hundred kilometers deep.

Suddenly, Erix's eyes shot open as he felt changes in the metal elements, and his danger bells also rang.

Rin also felt a premonition as her eyes shot open.

Without hesitation, Erix's eyes flashed silver as he and Rin vanished, arriving in another cavern spot tens of kilometer above.

'Shit…this presence,' Erix thought and immediately teleported again.

Just a second after that, the cavern was blasted with a powerful explosion.

'Erix, is that the golem?'

'Yes.'

Erix began teleporting without pause to reach the top.

Fortunately, he was managing to escape from the Golem with consecutive teleports.

But this situation was not favorable.

On the surface, Hallar and others were recovering as well, but Tessa's comm card suddenly rang, and she picked it up seeing it was from Erix and Rin.

Before she could say anything, Erix's hurried voice entered her ears.

[Erix: We are bringing that golem to the surface. Get ready. It came after us through the ground.]

[Tessa: What?! Haru said it went underground and stopped chasing him, but…]

[Hallar: If you are able to kite it and keep yourself safe only using Prana with your teleports, then I hope you can do that for ten minutes, so we all also recover.]

[Erix: Tsk, we found the core, and we also have to keep this golem busy more? Never mind, we'll do it, but we'll call first dips on the Golem's body after it dies.]

[Hallar: Alright.]

Communication cut off.

Meanwhile, Erix didn't go straight up but led the golem away from the group while going upward.

'Erix, I'll try to slow it with my Chronace Flow's Temporal Bend application. I don't know how slow it will get, but I only need Prana for it, so I'll just do it.'

'Alright.'

It took a bit over a minute before Erix managed to reach the surface with consecutive teleports.

He immediately chugged a Prana potion to recover before teleporting again and turning around.

Both of them saw with their eyes as giant colorful sparks sprung up from the ground before exotic crystalized with the colorful structure of abundant Metal and Earth elements adorned an ethereal array, shaping into a giant Golem.

Its two giant eyes, thick body, and limbs shone before releasing several colorful lasers from various parts of its body toward Rin and Erix within the same second.

Erix and Rin felt alarms, their hearts beginning to pump.

'Shit!'

Erix immediately teleported while exerting his power the fastest possible arriving roughly fifty kilometers away.

'Darling, that speed…' Rin's face was red as hyper adrenaline coursed through her body.

It was the same with Erix.

'Get ready…' Erix replied before the duo immediately felt alarms again. Erix quickly teleported with Rin, and right after that, hundreds of colorful structured spikes shredded that location, tearing even the space.

The space mended quickly, but Rin and Erix confirmed one thing very clearly.

A single attack of that golem if they failed to dodge would bring them infinitely close to their doom.

'Let's create more distance first. With the way things are, there's no way I can attack that Golem to slow it.'

'Yeah, I am going to create more distance. We can't take a risk with this distance. That bastard is way too fast for us to react appropriately.'

They also realized how hard it must have been for others to survive this Golem's chase despite not having instant teleport like Erix.

But this was Erix's power, and it at least allowed him to survive against this powerful foe.

Two minutes passed before Erix and Rin got a chance to use Rin's attack.

Alas, it did affect the Golem, but only for 1 second before it was neutralized, and in that 1 second, it only slowed the Golem and its attack for 0.6 seconds.

In this turn of events, that was of no help at all, but during the fight, this precious time could save a life or two, giving others a chance to escape some attacks.

Rin immediately knew what she had to do once the battle started.

'Great, Rin!'

Erix also understood the importance of her attack.

Rin grinned.

During the battle, that precious second of slow would be able to help save lives.

While the Golem was focused on its provoker, and when situation turn tough, Rin could use her attack containing the maximum power of Temporal Bend. This would slow the Golem and its attacks as well, giving time for others to escape.

…

Ten minutes passed, and the moment Hallar felt that, he immediately called the duo's comm card.

[Hallar: bring it here! Let's kill that blockhead!]

Tessa, Leirat, Meiker, Millia, Haru, Shifa, Dinda, and Haku also got up one by one as they finished recovering.

"Know your roles in the battle and prepare," Shifa said as she clashed her deadly lion hand-claws against each other. Her bloodline's runic patterns on the claws shone as she started preparing for her major attack.

The others also did the same as they knew it would take a long for Erix, Rin, and Golem to arrive even without getting information about it.

Indeed, after twenty seconds, they sensed Rin's and Erix's presence in their active radar thirty kilometers away.

Dinda slammed her giant hammer on a magical crystal that she materialized. It shattered and everyone a barrier along with boosting their defense and resistance to various elements.

Even Rin and Erix received the same buff, making them pleasantly surprised.

The Golem issued a magnetic scream that spread in all directions, shattering crystal forest and its exotic stones and boulders of this planet.

Erix teleported again, crossing 50 kilometers preciose and arriving in a cave at a mountain's base, twenty kilometers behind Hallar and the group.

During that ten minutes of chase, Erix and Rin only consumed Prana, so their Spirit Force was close to recovering to full.

They immediately sat down in meditation and started recovering.

Meanwhile, Hallar's group began their fight, truly showing the meaning of teamwork to tackle a stronger foe.

Meiker and Leirat consumed all of their Prana, half of their Spirit force, half of their soul force, and half of their Blood Essence's stock to release their strongest debuff skills on the Golem.

The debuff of Soul-type affected its core, and despite having resistance and defense, not all was lost. The golem's attack power, aim, control, and everything was reduced due to its foundation, the core, weakening and suppressed.

Dinda made sure to block the attacks with her defensive projectile shields and keep everyone safe. Although not fully, those shields could defend long enough for others to evade by then.

Kaja also used his Earth-attributed skill with an Attribute-concept. It was a suitable sensory skill, so he focused on attacks that were more powerful than others to provide additional defense and aid against those. He also had wood and life elements, so he also healed others in case of injuries.

Although their lives were fickle against this foe, they could stay alive even with fatal injuries, and as long as they didn't die in a single attack, all of them could recover their injuries.

Hallar and Shifa didn't attack and were preparing as layers of Magic formations conjured around them.

The remaining Millia and Haru had better means to evade, so with Dinda's defense, they could also attack while escaping, to distract Golem and make its attacks spread out as big as possible.

[Hallar: Quickly recovery.]

Erix and Rin didn't reply and stayed in meditation, recovering their Spirit Force.

But the moment they did, Erix and Rin appeared in the sky, ten kilometers away from the place of the fight.

In the next second, both of their bodies burst forth with a powerful aura, enough to shatter surrounding greenery and other natural things on the surface around them.

After all, they were attempting to use their most powerful attack so far.

Blood Essence, entirely consumed. They directly poured 90% of it, all into their Arcane Spirit pond. It immensely boosted their 70,000 Pool of Prana. At the moment, this 70,000 Prana gained a magic boost of severalfold due to their Bloodline's power and also gained their Bloodline's attributes and effects.

Both had the same amount of Prana pool after Erix evolved Rin's Bloodline.

Erix's 70,000 Prana gained Life & Death power, boosting his next incoming attack of paramount importance.

Rin's 70,000 Prana gained Death and Blood power, with her next attack getting the full force of this boost. She used her Black Blood Seal on her Blade Eater's Katana by consuming the remaining Blood Essence.

Rin used her Bloodline's skill that appeared after it evolved while Erix used his, Undeath Aurelion Crown, consuming a bit of Blood Essence every minute while using his form.

*Swoosh*

He transformed as his body turned pristine dark gold with majestic runic patterns, royally wrapped in a regal robe and black pants. The dark gold Undeath Aurelion crown lit above his head, with dark hazy purple wisps shining on its crown spikes, conjuring a dreadful yet regal picture.

"Let's start, babe. I'm making a spot."

"Ok, darling~"

Both had wisps of thrill in their eyes as they unleashed their powers.

Their body shone, turning into formation mode as they focused on particular aspects of their power to birth an attack for this Golem.

'Mine is Sunderer Drill Punch. What's yours?'

Erix's Prana, Spirit Force, Vigor Force, and Death Energy of Class source applied on these particular aspects more in the attack that, at the moment, was manifesting in the form of a fist projectile, a Punch of Sunderer as he named it on the spot.

Sunderer Drill Punch: Inflicting 99 Punches in the same spot before the 100th Punch with his final package of formation.

-Nihilir: Dismantle.

-Death attribute-Corrosion.

-Punch concept's boosts, including his intention to apply full stacked Dominance Mark.

-Chaos concept's preparation in the 100th Punch.

-Death power's aspect to corrode its defense.

-Life power's aspect to suck vitality of its external defense's structure to weaken it.

All of those were boosted and fueled by his Blood Essence enhanced Prana, Vigor Force, Spirit Force, and Death Energy of his class source.

On the other hand, Rin's Katana was forward, crossed by another sword shaped by Raibor Power Slime.

Her Prana, Spirit Force, and Blade Ki of class source boosted particular aspects of her powers, with full focus on the absolute narrow and pointed attack to shred its defense on the part done in by Erix's Sunderer Drill Punch.

'Mine is Point Blade Impact.'

Point Blade Impact….
