Re-Awakening: I Ascend with a Legendary class

'He is not debuffed anymore…how?!' El internally screamed. 'He shouldn't be able to cleanse off the artifact's debuffs!'

'His vitality is perfectly fine,' Zoltrend clenched his fist, his blood boiling.

Almond didn't chit-chat with them and activated Sword of Imperishable Zenith since it was finally off its cooldown.

"It's time to die," Almond uttered with a chilling smile and vanished, teleporting again now that the device Leo used to disrupt space was no longer working as Almond destroyed it.

Both Zoltrend and Leo became alert, but they couldn't even know what happened before the pain hit them, and their bodies sliced as Almond floated between them.

However, El's body pieces suddenly vanished as he seemed to have surrendered right before he got sliced and diced.

Unfortunately, he was dead still as only his body pieces returned to the hub.

Meanwhile, Zoltrend looked at Almond as his eyes seemed alive despite being cut into pieces, but he wasn't long for this world and it was just the final flame.

"H-How?" Zoltrend asked, dying to know, literally, how did Almond survive his artifact's attack.

"You got some nice vitality power," Almond blinked and smiled, "As for your question, I think you should die without knowing that."

"You…" Zoltrend's eyes lost light as he met his end as well.

As for how Almond survived, it was pretty simple.

The debuff affected him within 0.8 seconds, and Zoltrend's destructive lightning maw from his artifact hit him shortly afterward.

But Almond had time to do two things one thing ensured his survival.

First, he quickly used the time-rewind artifact to nullify the debuff, preventing it from ever affecting him.

Second, Divine Divider's Harvest. Target: the Elephant Guardian Deity.

Both Guardian Deities were indestructible as they only nullified each other's attack and physically pounded each other in the sky.

Even though their vitality wasn't reducing, they had 10,000 in each of their stats!

As such, Almond gained 5000 Health and 5000 Strength by using Divine Divider's Harvest to halve the Strength and Health of the elephant Guardian Deity and unleashed swordplay around him, slicing in all sides to create gaps with Absolute Severance and reduce damage as much as possible.

The result? He remained perfectly fine.

On the other hand, the Grim Breakers were doing good against the enemies. His Spirit Wraiths had great synergy with them as well, and with the Grim Breakers' combos and improved combat style aided by the top-notch Legendary gear, none of them had died.

Lily was within the enemy's rank along with Mira, both of them wreaking havoc alongside Dark Pope Benedict by moving through shadows.

The enemy also had four shadow users, but three were killed and the last one escaped.

Natalia focused on buffing more and disrupting enemies, creating opportunities with Maya.

Marcus focused on defense with Sylvia and Eliara while the rest of the Grim Breakers worked together to shred the enemy formations.

Xavier unleashed precise laser attacks from long-range, Kayla ran around the enemies in her Nine Purestar Doe form, giving buffs to allies and debuff to enemies.

Emma enchanted all the weapons with her poison and unleashed deadly poison arrows on enemies who were winning against her allies, turning tables.

Amir used his wind-based attacks to focus on deflecting projectiles and also attacking to disrupt movements. Discover exclusive tales at My Virtual Library Empire

Jian chaotically smashed into enemy formations, becoming an unpredictable force with his berserker power as it was his specialty.

Ron targeted those flying with his flaming chakrams, going fully offensive under Sylvia's defensive umbrella with Xavier.

Jemma, Anya, and Talia were also the same as Ron and Xanvier, supporting other allies with perfect combos and synergy.

Jemma worked with Maya and Nyssara most, while Anya worked by supporting frontliners and nullifying attacks with her spatial-related class powers.

Talia was using her specialized class pistoles to attack. With her sharp precision, she never missed, and attacked weak points of the enemy's attacks to make them fail and even blasted a head by seizing an opportunity.

Adrian and Finn stayed near the supports with Infernal Knight to focus on defending from sneak attacks.

Kira with her nimble and fast sword, Noah with his steel storm of swords, and Julian with his heavy sword and new class powers he unlocked by finishing the tasks wreaked havoc.

The three of them were at the frontline, attracting the attention of enemies alongside Galvaren, Alfred, Starlight Beast, and Chimera Frank.

Chimera Viperfiend died fast trying to save someone by tanking an attack, so it wasn't there, unfortunately.

The other gold rankers of Earth were dumbfounded to see such a terrifying synergy of teamwork, though the battle demanded their attention, and they adjusted accordingly, supporting Grim Breakers and attacking with full force.

The enemies got picked off quickly and they were already at the same number as them despite being outnumbered at first.

Of course, some gold rankers came close to death, so they surrendered and vanished.

One, unfortunately, died as well, who was an adventurer from the 6th rank Steelheart Guild.

But the curtain fell as the enemy found out that their leaders died after Almond joined the fray and instantly shredded four people—two Draconians, one elf, and one Cyber-human.

"Fuck! Run!"

"Our leaders died!"

Some of them who tried to run were hunted quickly as Lily emerged from their shadows, her daggers danced eerily before their heads rolled.

A few others were picked off by Julian, Kira, Noah, and Adrian.

Suddenly, they started vanishing as they realized escaping wasn't an option.

The enemy surrendered and vanished quickly.

The enemy tribe members surrendered, but both sides suffered heavy losses there, dwindling their numbers by half.

"Good work, everyone."

Everyone saw Almond and cheered loudly, their adrenaline rush still going strong.

"We fucked them up!"

"Hahahhaha, we won this war!"

"Damn, I knew we were powerful when we are together, hahaha."

"You guys are crazy."

"Yeah, crazy teamwork."

"Heh, of course. Ever since heroic raids, we've been practicing together a lot of fucking times, hahaha."

"Wait, guys! One of us died!"

"What?! Who?!"

"Shit!"

Everyone turned silent as Sylvia's vines brought the person in the middle.

"Luke…" Brynjal's lips trembled. "He was my friend and a rival."

Luke's body had three holes and his right arm burned to a crisp.

"Rest in peace," Almond said as he clasped his hand and grabbed Luke's spirit. "You didn't need to die, but your death won't be in vain."

He also took the spirits of everyone else who died.

"Take him back," Almond nodded at Brynjal.

Brynjal and two others took Luke's body and exited this region, returning to Earth.

"Everyone, this was a monumental victory and has sealed our win of this event," Almond said as he looked at everyone and stretched his fist forward, "We won."

"We won!"

"We won!"

Everyone roared in response as they stretched their arms, hands balled into fists!

"Let's clean up the battlefield now."

The guardian deities had vanished since they only stayed for a minute.

The Hawkfrey Tribes began capturing people of other tribes as they surrendered, imprisoning them to decide their fate later.

The three ships stayed there for Almond to collect as it put them in his storage ring and then just sat above the tower, watching everyone working.

"Almond, did you expect them to work together against us?" Lily arrived there and asked.

Almond faintly smiled, "I did. I wanted that to happen, which was why I was eager to encounter them and show them the difference between me and them."

"But I wasn't expecting someone to die," Almond sighed.

"Not your fault. You told us to surrender, but he failed to do that in time," Lily shrugged. "Anyway, let's go out for a bit. We aren't in a hurry anymore."

"Yeah."
