Reincarnated as a failed hero?! Watch me Defy Fate! - Chapter 179

Chapter 179: Disaster Fusion
Flareth’s POV:

This is a situation we never anticipated. How could those two unique monsters be resurrected — even after being reduced to dust?! It makes no sense… and yet, it becomes horrifyingly possible if the Outer God has intervened.

Kraytheon and Gor’mundr laughed wickedly as they saw our stunned expressions upon their return.

“Hey, Kraytheon! We should thank our master for granting us this eternal life! KUHAHAHA!” Gor’mundr shouted, releasing another wave of devastating magic.

“You’re right, Gor’mundr… we won’t lose to these pathetic gods and goddesses again! HAHAHA!” Kraytheon laughed as he unfurled his wings once more.

“Tch! Even if you rise a hundred times, my lightning will still tear you apart!” Zarion snapped, his body crackling with divine thunder once more.

Inspired by Zarion’s courage, I stepped forward with him.

“Come at us, you lizard and stinking giant! My flames will purify your souls!” I declared proudly, igniting the sky with my fire magic in a show of power and intimidation.

Aqualia and Zephyria had also readied their spells.

All four of us unleashed our ranged attacks at Kraytheon and Gor’mundr — but suddenly, the two monsters glanced at each other and grinned.

“Let’s end this with that, Gor’mundr…”

“You’re right… this time, we’ll crush them!!!”

They summoned massive magic circles in the sky — and then fused them together. They cast a spell: [Fusion of the Disasters].In an instant, their bodies merged into a single entity.

A wave of pure darkness burst forth, cloaking all of Cosmoria in shadow, blocking out the light entirely.

I conjured flames around us to illuminate the darkness, and what we saw took our breath away.

“None shall defy us — neither in the skies nor upon the earth. All will fall before us… we are Kray’mundr, The One Who Conquers Sky and Earth!”

I couldn’t believe my eyes. Their power had skyrocketed — their magical energy felt at least four times stronger than before. Zarion, Aqualia, and Zephyria were visibly shaken too.

Kray’mundr towered like a mountain, his body a humanoid dragon of polished obsidian stone, gleaming like black glass — scarred with molten lava flowing in glowing, fiery veins.

Six burning dragon wings spread wide from his back, armored with magma-forged scales and tipped with flaming blades. Each wing bore a fiery spear.

His crowned dragon head was adorned with spiraling magma horns that dripped embers, and his eyes glowed like twin suns — radiant and impossible to look at directly.

“I am not a god… I am the reason gods created heaven — to escape me. Now, embrace your deaths!” Kray’mundr bellowed as he descended to the earth.

He activated his skill: [Terra Sky-Fused Aura].The surrounding terrain within a 30-meter radius turned into an active magma zone — causing constant burn damage and a 15% slowing effect.

Water and ice spells were reduced in effectiveness by 50%, visibly frustrating Aqualia as her magic was rendered nearly useless.

Additionally, the sky above emitted bursts of searing fire and volcanic lightning every five seconds, making aerial attacks difficult.

“Damn it, that skill is a pain… with this, only Zarion and I can fight him directly. We’re the only ones resistant to fire and lightning,” I said, glancing at Zarion. He nodded in agreement.

And so, Zarion and I charged in to face Kray’mundr, while Aqualia and Zephyria supported us from afar.

We clashed with him in direct combat, exchanging furious blows. As expected, his attacks were far stronger than before — heavier, faster, more devastating. Slowly but surely, we began to struggle to keep up.

….

Aqualia’s POV:

I can’t let this continue. I have to help Flareth and Zarion!

Zephyria supported them by enhancing their speed and agility, helping them dodge Kray’mundr’s attacks. But me… my water and ice spells are practically useless. They melt before reaching him.

So I decided — I’ll cast one of my most powerful spells. It’ll take time to prepare, but it’s our only hope.

I began chanting, focusing intently as I watched the battle rage on in front of me.

Flareth and Zarion were clearly growing frustrated. Their attacks barely scratched Kray’mundr, and even when they landed a solid hit, he regenerated almost instantly.

Then, Flareth snapped. He’d reached his breaking point — and unleashed one of his ultimate spells. He’d been developing it over the past few decades, always showing it off to us. And I had to admit… it was an incredible spell.

Flareth activated [High Divine Fire Magic: Flame of Twin Divinity].

He fused the holy power of the Ancient Flame Dragon and the Eternal Phoenix, forming twin blazing wings of fire. His body was cloaked in dragonfire armor, engulfed in a burning phoenix aura that shone like a miniature sun.

In this form, he became immune to all fire-based damage — even absorbing heat and flames to replenish his mana.

Flareth’s spell ignited like the breath of a newborn star. For ten precious minutes, his body became a vessel of divine fire — completely immune to all flame-based attacks. But that was only the beginning. Each of his strikes detonated with the Explosive Rebirth effect — not just one explosion, but two, one after the other, like phoenix wings slamming into the earth with wrathful vengeance. A second, unstoppable burst followed every blow, turning the battlefield into an inferno of relentless fury.

Not to be outshone, Zarion’s eyes sparked with competitive fire, the divine thunder in his veins crackling as if challenging the heavens themselves. There was a spark between them — not of rivalry, but pride, like twin suns daring to outshine one another.

With a sharp breath, Zarion invoked his legendary spell:[High Divine Thunder Magic: Primordius Volt].

A primordial rift opened above him, and from it descended the First Spark — the original lightning that lit the cosmos at the dawn of creation. From that celestial flame he forged Celestial Armor, a radiant suit of thundersteel that shimmered with bolts from ten thousand storms. In his grasp formed Ionis Ultima, the divine spear etched with runes older than time, capable of piercing through dimensions, unraveling fate, and cracking the code of existence itself.

The moment he donned the armor, Zarion’s might soared beyond mortal comprehension — speed, strength, and endurance amplified by 300%, his form now a living storm cloaked in divinity. But the spear’s brilliance was fleeting — he had only ten minutes before its overwhelming power would collapse under its own weight.

And then — they struck.

Flareth and Zarion surged together, a duo of cataclysmic force, hammering Kray’mundr from every angle. One fought as the wrath of the sun, the other as the fury of the storm. Fire and lightning roared in concert, painting the skies with divine carnage.

Kray’mundr shrieked in rage, retaliating with his six hellforged spears of flame — but before the weapons could strike, Zarion flashed past like a lightning deity, severing all six fiery wings in a single arc of his spear, faster than thought itself. Kray’mundr fell, roaring, as molten blood spilled across the broken battlefield.

But Flareth was already waiting.

With his hands ablaze in sacred fury, he invoked his ultimate strike:[Solar Talon Breaker].

Wreathed in phoenix flame and dragonfire, his claws became searing razors of divine heat. With a sky-tearing scream, he descended upon Kray’mundr and tore through the beast’s chest, unleashing a detonation of such magnitude that the heavens themselves recoiled. The shockwave split mountains, vaporized craters, and obliterated what was left of Kray’mundr’s form.

We almost believed it was over.

But then — the shadow returned.

A black sun pulsed overhead. The aura of the Outer God reawakened, and from the remnants of shattered bone and molten flesh, Kray’mundr rose again, reborn in pristine, terrible form. His laughter echoed like the cry of a collapsing star.

“Fools… It’s pointless! You gods and goddesses will never win. We are eternal now! Boundless! HAHAHA!”

And then he raised his burning arms.”Now, fall before true extinction! [Ultimate Skill: Annihilation Core: Skyfall Cataclysm]!!”

The ground beneath us ruptured into seething rivers of lava. All connection to the elemental balance shattered — we could no longer fly, no longer ground ourselves. Magic itself buckled under his roar.

Kray’mundr drove his arms into the earth and sky. From below, an ancient magma core — pulsing with the breath of the planet’s dying heart — surged upward. From above, a celestial tempest answered, divine lightning screaming downward. And then — they collided.

The result was a meteor of world-ending power, a molten comet cloaked in stormfire, hurtling toward Cosmoria with enough force to shatter continents.

And we were helpless.Flareth and Zarion collapsed, paralyzed by the Outer God’s destabilizing aura.

Only Zephyria and I stood free — the last barrier between annihilation and survival.

With desperate clarity, Zephyria stepped forward, her voice a whisper of doom:”O winds, heed me… and breathe no more. [High Divine Wind Magic: Breathless Silence]!”

She raised her arms, and from the void between realms, a vacuum wind howled into existence — stealing oxygen, extinguishing flame, devouring even the sound of Kray’mundr’s roar. A blanket of nothingness fell across the battlefield, silencing everything. The world held its breath.

Kray’mundr choked, stunned.The curse lifted.

Flareth’s flames reignited. Zarion’s lightning crackled back to life.

“That’s what I’m talking about, Zephyria!” Flareth roared in praise.

In a flash, the two warriors lunged forward — shattering the meteor mid-air, bursting it into a thousand pieces of burning debris. Then, together, they struck down Kray’mundr while he remained suspended in the void — cleaving him apart again.

But the cycle returned.

Kray’mundr began to reform once more — his body stitching itself together through the Outer God’s will.

But I was ready.

My voice rang out like a war hymn:”O eternal frost… obey my call. Freeze all that burns, all that breaks, all that breathes — [High Divine Ice Magic: Glacialis Eternum]!!”

The very air around Kray’mundr cracked and crystallized. Temperature plummeted to absolute zero. Time itself slowed as ancient glacial magic surged from the realm of eternal winter. Kray’mundr was caught mid-rebirth, entombed in an infinite prison of holy ice.

Even his soul slowed.His form locked.Crystal Lock was complete — unrevivable. Undone.

“That was incredible, Aqualia,” Zarion gasped. “He’s finally done for!”

But then… a pressure.

A black pulse. A heartbeat from beyond.

I screamed — “No! The Outer God is breaking through! I can feel him!”My hands trembled, blood dripping from my fingers as I forced the spell to hold.

Zarion, Flareth, and Zephyria circled me, searching for a final answer. We had slain Kray’mundr over and over, but he returned each time, a puppet of something far greater.

“This… bottomless, cheating magic… it has to be him! The same Outer God from the war!” Flareth growled, fury etched in every line of his face.

The ice groaned. The seal cracked.

And then — the skies lit up.

A divine light pierced the storm. Hundreds of radiant swords descended like a punishment from the gods themselves, impaling the frozen beast and forming a celestial cage of blades.

“Enough.”

It was Solis.At last, she had arrived.

Behind her stood Terra, Gaia, and Miranda — each glowing with the might of restored divine energy.

Terra slammed her fists into the ground, summoning twin mountains to crush Kray’mundr’s flanks. Gaia’s whisper made the dead world bloom, and divine vines surged upward, binding the monster’s prison in layers of enchanted nature.

“The demons are gone. The angels are safe. The barrier holds.” Miranda’s voice rang clear as she poured healing magic into our battered bodies.

“Now…” Solis stepped forward, her radiance washing over us like morning sun.”It’s time to end this.”

But the celebration was short-lived.

The air shimmered with Outer God corruption. Terra and Gaia winced — their spells already fracturing.

“It’s breaking through,” Terra warned.”The power is… too vast,” Gaia added.

Solis clenched her fists. She wasn’t done yet. Her aura burned like a newborn star, divine might rising around her like a storm.

And then — a portal opened in the center of our circle.

All of us turned.

Solis stepped forward, eyes wide.

“That energy… There’s no mistake.” Her voice trembled, not with fear, but with hope.”It’s him… I knew you could do it.”
