Chapter 49-2 |
"Oh damn, a Demon God is coming out!"
"If we can't stop it, we'll all die here!"
"Han Yu, are you sure the Holy See headquarters will be safe? Why do I feel like we're about to be wiped out?"
All the Protagonists in the Holy See headquarters were in panic. They couldn't fathom why a Demon God would suddenly emerge. Each time a Demon God descended into the World of the Gods, even if they were repelled, the losses were colossal. If they got caught up in the battle, they would be done for!
At this moment, they still had no idea that this Demon God was created by several Silver Level Villains to deal with them. The Protagonists managed to send a brief message using their thoughts, but the Long Nail Demon God had already approached. His enormous body grew even larger as he charged. This was due to his resistance against the laws of the World of the Gods. Otherwise, in his complete state, his divine body was much larger.
As the Long Nail Demon God closed in, a Demi God hidden in the sky finally took action. This Demi God being was a spellcaster. With a wave of his magic staff, a dreadful attack was launched.
"A Demi God being? Do you really think you can stop me?" The Long Nail Demon God charged forward, shattering the attack with a powerful collision. However, at this moment, a radiant sword light surged forward.
"Divine Skill – Crescent Moon Slash!" The angel's melodious voice echoed.
The sword light, resembling a crescent moon, made the Long Nail Demon God pay attention. He swung his weapon forcefully, smashing the angel's attack. After dealing with two Demi God Level forces in quick succession, the Long Nail Demon God was even closer to the Holy See headquarters.
"My God, help us…" The square had descended into chaos.
As the massive hand was about to descend, Crescent Moon Queen finally took action. Sacred energy surged from her, and she emitted a Demi God aura. Her hands formed magical seals, and a crescent-shaped surge of energy shot towards the colossal hand, attempting to intercept it.
"Scar of the Crescent Moon!" Crescent Moon Queen's voice echoed as bright crescent marks shot towards the colossal hand. At the same time, the angel and another Demi God being intensified their attacks, putting pressure on the Long Nail Demon God. Under the combined assault of three Demi God forces, the giant hand was finally shattered within the Crescent Moon Queen's marks.
"Roar, you can't stop me!" The Long Nail Demon God roared, swinging his weapon wildly. Simultaneously, the demons behind him went berserk, charging into the square.
"Hold them off!" Bishop Ferren led the Templar Knights and numerous divine mages to confront them.
"Crescent Moon Shield!" Crescent Moon Queen raised a massive shield shaped like a crescent moon to block the Long Nail Demon God's attack. The angel and the other Demi God being continued their assault, but the Long Nail Demon God proved too formidable. Despite facing attacks from two powerful entities, he still prepared to forcibly capture the followers on the square.
"Boom!" The Crescent Moon Shield shattered under the Long Nail Demon God's attack. Crescent Moon Queen's face changed drastically. Just then, a distinct beam of light descended from the sky, pushing back the Demon God's assault.
It was the Crescent Moon Goddess, leveraging the attack channeled through the temple. The colossal temple was not just for show; it served to collect faith and stored a considerable amount of energy, ready to be unleashed in critical moments.
Frustrated after being blocked twice and facing several Demi God beings, the Long Nail Demon God grew furious.
"Die for me!" He unleashed an even more dreadful attack. Simultaneously, the square had descended into chaos, and everyone was fleeing into the church. Countless demons had entered the square, engaging in fierce battles with the Holy See's forces. In the sky, several Holy Levels continuously attacked, intercepting powerful demons.
The massive square had already been divided into a battlefield. The pervasive demonic energy reduced visibility. To protect the people below, the constantly expanding Holy Levels created multiple small worlds, cutting through the chaos.
In the outskirts of the capital, millions of demons were also attacking, serving as a distraction and drawing attention. If the war progressed favorably, the Long Nail Demon God wouldn't mind reducing the entire Crescent Moon Kingdom to rubble, making his name resound even louder in the World of the Gods, becoming a nightmare in the hearts of countless beings.
"Damn it, this Demon God is too fierce! Chu Wu, don't separate from us! If we encounter powerful demons, your legendary soul in the ring will come in handy." At this moment, more than ten Protagonists gathered together, trembling as they headed towards the grand cathedral.
The battlefield was too chaotic, and as they walked, they had no idea where they were going. The Holy Levels, masters of the domain's power, continuously expanded their territories, making the battlefield even more fragmented.
The capital's guardians, the Holy Levels, had several in command. They all rushed to the square. Although the Holy Levels seemed normal from the outside, once the territories were opened, they could cut through an entire area.
It looked normal on the surface, but stepping inside felt like entering a completely different place, the so-called Holy Level domain. The chaos had extended beyond the square, with demons battling fiercely against the Holy See's forces. Numerous Legendary Level forces were also present in the square.
At this point, the group of Protagonists had increased by two. These two joined them out of fear of being killed in the chaos when they saw the demons approaching. Originally, they thought they could reach the cathedral quickly. However, with the Demon God's arrival and the simultaneous battles of Demi God beings and Holy Level forces, their original plans had crumbled.
The battlefield was completely fragmented, and the group of Protagonists had lost their sense of direction, not even knowing where the grand cathedral was. Demons occasionally flew across the sky, only to be swiftly intercepted by unknown attacks. The origins of these attacks remained a mystery.
The collisions and connections of multiple Holy Levels' domains further shattered the battleground. Additionally, magic circles on the square were fully activated, further cutting the entire area into smaller sections.
This fragmentation was the best protection for the civilians and beneficial for combating the demons. However, for the dozen Protagonists, it became problematic. They soon discovered that they were lost. Frustrated and in a desperate situation, they placed their hopes on a Protagonist named "Chu Wu."
Chu Wu belonged to the Ring Mage archetype and possessed a bronze ring containing a legendary soul. Without disappointing their expectations, Chu Wu directly summoned the legendary soul from his ring. Once summoned, the legendary soul quickly found a path.
"Follow this way!" Chu Wu led more than ten protagonists in a particular direction.
"There are demons in the sky!"
"Don't worry; we are too weak right now. Those demons won't bother with us."
"Darn it, I must grow stronger. This feeling of weakness is unbearable!"
These protagonists felt both frustrated and anxious, and they were also extremely stifled. In the face of divine power, they were simply too weak. Not to mention Gods, even those flying demons—any one of them would be more than they could handle.
However, they didn't lose heart. After all, they had experienced a boost of confidence before. Having witnessed the power of the Demon God, they were even more eager to grow.
"We should be close now," Chu Wu said, instilling confidence in the group. The other Protagonists saw a glimmer of hope.
Suddenly, the landscape changed again. They found themselves in another domain.
"Another damn domain!" one of the Protagonists cursed. It was evident that they had entered another Holy Level domain.
"Twelve people, not bad. You all gathered so willingly, making my job easier," a voice echoed.
The Protagonists looked ahead and saw a villain clad in exquisite noble attire standing before them. Many recognized him – he was Myles, a Silver Level major Villain and the heir of a Duke's family in the capital.
