Doomsday Pillars

"It’s the Chimera!!!" shouted someone, as the monstrous beast being was knocked back by the Monolith’s barrier.

Before the first tribulation began, with the sacrifice of a few elite fighters, with Jennie among them, the firebirds were able to kill the Chimera that resided in the Abyss Pit located at the north.

This fact, coupled with the ’cleaning’ the firebirds did beforehand, caused the threat factor of the Abyss creatures coming from the north to greatly lessened to a manageable point.

However, the same could not be said for the Abyss pit on the western side of the city, it inevitably ignored due to the lack of manpower. Luckily, the barrier provided by the Doomsday Pillar’s Monolith could save the day.

Well, at least that had been the case, until the fifth day of the tribulation.

In the morning, a Chimera, the boss monster that laid deep within the Abyss Pit, finally came out and graced the Earth with its appearance. The moment it smelled the fresh air, the Chimera immediately flew into the air, before proceeding to crash its massive body on the barrier, considerably cracking it.

The sudden and terrifying attack by the monstrous creatures instantly frightened the citizens of Singapore, who saw the entire process unfolding, from the speck of black dot in the distance to the massive figure that smashed into the barrier.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

Loud thunderous sounds resounded through the air as the Chimera continued to attack the barrier, causing the bluish translucent surface to shake, making streaks of cracks appear across it.

"The fourth Monolith is no longer functioning!! The barrier won’t hold!!"

The faces of Theo and the other immediately turned pale when they realized the barrier would break anytime now. If it broke, the consequences would be disastrous.

The worst problem Theo and the fighters would have to face when the barrier broke was not the Chimera. Yeah, not the monstrous, massive beast that could easily turn everything into debris and smithereens.

The worst problem, even worse than the Chimera, was the crowds of Abyss creatures that had been gathered in front of the barrier for the last 4 days. There were tens of thousands of them and all of them were in a frenzy state due to their inability to break the barrier.

The situation instantly became critical, where one mistake could probably cost them everything.

Noticing their precarious situation, Theo immediately blurted out a series of orders, "Rama, you stay here! You must hold it with everything that you have! The others will go to the west to fight the Chimera! We have no time to waste! Let’s go!"

The order left Rama with only around 300 Sky realm and two thousands Earth realm fighters to hold the northern area, continuing their fight against the Abyss creatures that came from the north Abyss Pit.

As for Nam, Chicken, Corrie, Maxine, the 20 Star Army fighters and the firebirds fighters, they would go to the western area as fast as they could. They had to defend the area where the soon-to-be broken Monolith’s barrier would be left open.

One thousand Sky realm fighters were preparing themselves, waiting for what was probably going to be the hardest they ever fought.

Theo never knew he had it in him to lead the group. So, before the barrier was completely broken by the Chimera, he went to his knees in front of everyone and took a prayer posture. "God, if now is my time... At least give me the strength to carry it until the end."

CRAAAACKKKK!!

The fourth Monolith’s barrier that covered the west area was destroyed. That meant there was a kilometer worth of opening across the western side of the city, bared open to the Abyss creatures, free for them to rush and wreak havoc.

Nam and the others made their stand in the Queenstown area, across the Clementi Road, directly faced against the incoming waves of Abyss creatures.

Seeing rows after rows of critters, hellhounds and gargoyles, coupled with the sight of the Chimera, Nam gritted his teeth and roared with all his might,

"HOLD THE LINE! DO NOT LET EVEN ONE OF THEM PASS!!!"

The moment Singaporean fighters and the sea of Abyss creatures got contact with each other, it quickly became the most chaotic fight in the history of Singapore.

Hundreds of the best fighters of Singapore, no matter young or old, were fighting fiercely and ferociously against the thousands of gargoyles and ten of thousands of other Abyss creatures. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

As time passed by, it was apparent the battle was one-sided. The defensive line was gradually pushed back by the Abyss creatures, constantly on at risk of breaking down.

The battle was so tumultuous and cruel one out of every five Sky realm fighters departed from this world in just 5 minutes, leaving their bodies buried under the hundreds of Abyss creatures’ corpses.

The chaotic scene was enough to make the citizens of Singapore that watched from the top of their buildings cry in panic.

At the moment, Theo was flying in the air using his Sword Formation, killing as many Abyss creatures as fast as he could. However, it seemed futile as there were just too many of them.

Suddenly, a loud sound was heard from the back of the defensive line. When Theo turned around to look at the commotion, he spotted Lieutenant Choi who brought his team, the whole thousands of remaining Earth realm fighters and all the able-bodied Singaporean citizens to close the broken gap and enforce the crumbling defensive line.

Even with all the people filling up the street and blocking the Abyss creatures, Theo and the others clearly knew that they still had the boss creature to kill.

Said boss was currently flying in the air, searching for the most opportune moment to enter the fray. Finally, it decided to descend from the sky, right to the center of the most clustered area.

Its two snake heads were breathing fire and ice beams, killing both humans and Abyss creatures alike.

One man stepped up as he leaped to the air and used his powerful spell, turning his body into silver that reflected the morning sun. Nam, the man with a dragon tattoo on his shoulder, decided to fight the Chimera head-on.

Nam zipped through the air before he delivered a blow on the lion’s head with the strongest punch he could muster. As a result, the Chimera, or rather, the lion head’s attention went on him.

Meanwhile, Corrie and Chicken were trying to distract the two snake heads from two different sides. After all, if they were left behind and free to cause damage, it would be devastating for the other fighters.

Maxine, on the other hand, also leaped towards the Chimera and landed on its back, as she proceeded to attack the goat head with her two Tier 2 massive battle axes.

"Aarrghhhhh!!" The red-haired muscular woman roared as she used everything she had to try chopping the giant head without caring of anything else. As a result, Maxine managed to get a few slashes in.

However, fighting the Chimera inside the hole where the space was limited was different than fighting it outside in the open.

The moment the Chimera noticed it was getting surrounded, the monstrosity immediately spread its wing wide and flew upwards to the sky, away from the other fighters while bringing with it Maxine who was still standing on the back of the beast.

"MAXINEEE!! JUMPP!!"

Alas, with the abrupt move the Chimera did, Maxine instantly lost her footings. She fell into the air and only managed to look to the sky before she found the lion head was already before her.

*CRACK*

Loud crisp sound was heard as Maxine’s body was snapped by the sharp fang of the beast.

"NO!!! MAXINE!! NO!!" Corrie hysterically shouted as tears fell on her cheek, watching her close friend bitten by the huge monster and being spit to the ground like a pile of rubbish.

With her super-speed, Corrie captured the body right before it hit the ground. The muscular woman already lost half of the bottom of her body, but she was still alive. Her entire body was currently shaking in excruciating pain.

Corrie was crying on top of her lung, when she suddenly saw a figure standing right in front of her.

"S-Sister Christina.... H-Help.."

Christina was there standing, her eyes covered with the blood tears she cried, watching the pale Maxine. All of a sudden, Christina screamed in pain and something came out of her shoulders.

Two large, red flaming wings.
