Jay's Soul Sense picked up hundreds of souls approaching from afar. Without taking his eyes off the distant horizon, he interrupted their bickering.
"Enough. Aberrants are swarming toward us. Finish upgrading the Soul Scepter and join me."
As soon as the words left his mouth, Jay changed the Centauri Kavach from its overcoat form into full-body armor.
Jay then began deploying║Chaos Vortex║, the qualitative improvement of║Arcane Vortex║, the large-scale spell he had relied on to clear the Obelisk floors to avoid hunting monsters one by one.
Slowly, he extended both arms. The ground around him began to ripple.
A massive vortex formed beneath his feet, slowly spiraling outward as it expanded across the barren landscape. Loose stones, dirt, and patches of strange foreign vegetation were pulled toward its center, while the air twisted around it, making everything appear slightly distorted.
A deep rumble spread across the surroundings. The bright crimson sky churned as thick, dark clouds began rotating above the vortex, mirroring its movement below.
The surrounding land trembled as the vortex continued to expand, its influence covering an enormous area.
Unlike the vibrant displays of the other elements, the Chaos element possessed no dazzling light or overwhelming spectacle. It didn't glow nor did it spark.
Instead, it appeared as a faint distortion in the air. A barely visible vapor that seemed to blur everything around it, and wherever the Chaos element passed, only destruction remained.
Rocks crumbled into dust without warning. The strange vegetation scattered across the barren land disappeared without a trace, as though it had never existed. Even the ground itself slowly broke apart as the vortex continued to spread.
Before long, the first wave of Aberrants entered the skill's range, soon followed by thousands more.
The vast majority were Tier-5 and Tier-6, with scattered Tier-7 Aberrants appearing throughout the horde.
Jay had no intention of using║Chaos Vortex║as his primary means of attack, especially against the Tier-6 and weaker Aberrants.
Doing so would consume too much Spirit Energy, and nearly half of his reserves had already been exhausted during his earlier clash with the Fiends.
Besides… he had something else that could deal with the weaker Aberrants without costing him a single point of Spirit Energy.
The Aberrants charging straight toward Jay, or rather toward Urzo standing behind him, suddenly had their limbs severed by flashes of silver.
The same scene unfolded across the entire barren landscape within a ten-kilometer radius. It was none other than the Origin Glaive.
Under Jay's command, it moved autonomously, effortlessly incapacitating every Tier-6 and lower Aberrant that entered its range. It deliberately avoided fatal blows as Jay had another use for them.
Within moments, hundreds of Aberrants lay helpless and immobilised across the barren wasteland. Above them, the║Chaos Vortex║continued to churn like a colossal hurricane spanning ten kilometers, hurling dust and rubble into the air.
Although the swirling debris caused little actual damage, it greatly hindered the Aberrants' vision and other senses. Even so, they continued charging toward Urzo as though guided by an instinct beyond their normal senses.
Jay glanced toward Urzo just as he finished upgrading his newly acquired Growth-type Weapon with MJ's assistance.

IMPORTANT AUTHOR NOTICE:
Hey Folks, sorry for the inconvenience. I wanted to give a small update regarding Volume 4 and future chapter releases.
To be honest, because of piracy concerns, I considered not releasing the remaining chapters of Volume 4 publicly anymore. But at the same time, I don't want the current readers who have been supporting and following the story consistently to miss out either.
So from Chapter 401 onwards, I'll continue doing weekly releases here, but only around the first one-fourth of each chapter will be posted publicly.
To read the full chapter, you can simply join my Patreon's free tier. The complete chapters will be available there, and it doesn't cost anything to access them.
You can give it a try if you'd like. And honestly, more people joining the Patreon, even through the free tier, would really encourage and support me to keep going consistently.
Thank you for all the support so far. I truly appreciate everyone who's been reading the journey until now.
