Chapter 607: Meteor Barrage

Numerous magic circles appeared on top of the dark god that is located at the center of the imperial capital. The magic circles that appeared are all familiar to those that have seen it even for the first time. It was the magic circle for the meteor skill, but it was altered in some way.

The magic circle for meteor should have been lined using fire and earth elemental mana as this was needed to bring down the meteor. It is a skill that summons a meteor from outer space using the great connection of the caster with both fire and earth elemental mana.

The magic circles that appeared on top of the dark god are different because they are lined with arcane mana. In other words, these magic circles are used using the concept of mana that has surpassed the elements. The one who cast this magic is none other than one of the greatest masters of space magic.

"Meteor Shower!" Ascalor stated as he activated all the magic circles that he created.

Ascalor did not even bother to show his true form yet as he is still in his old man form. The magic circles vanished, and it looked like space that the magic circles occupied suddenly vanished. The space did not vanish, but it is actually a spatial magic that connected outer space and the main world.

Every individual in the capital bore witness to the great magic that is casted. They could see numerous meteors being pulled down by an immense force that even the dark god needed to add more layers of defenses. Ascalor attack also managed to stop the encroaching domain magic of the dark god upon the imperial capital.

The reason that Ascalor managed to scare the dark god is due to the fact that it is still weakened by the seal made by the gods of Pandemonium. The only reason that the dark god manage to kill the demigod that protected the fallen imperial capital is due to the seal not being used on it yet.

The dark god screamed at Ascalor because of the unexpected attack that will be catastrophic if the dark god did not have any barriers. The meteors dropped down on the barriers and easily crushed one barrier per two or three meteors.

The dark god seeing that its barriers that it continuously regenerating being destroyed got mad. The dark god, Nyarlathotep, for the first time used one of the innate skills that is present in its kit. 

[The dark god, Nyarlathotep, used Unholy Hand.]

A tentacle suddenly sprouted from the body of the dark god and aimed towards Ascalor. The Daemos elder easily dodge the attack by teleporting away since the space in the imperial capital is not messed up. The reason for that is the demons repairing the rift in the atmosphere while Ascalor is keeping the dark god busy.

The other races that are in the human alliance could only open their mouths wide. Even the dragonkin and dragonoids admit that only their masters could match the power that the demons possess when they are serious. Even though the barriers of the dark god might be easier to destroy than to damage the dark god directly, that does not mean that anyone could just break it.

"Just like what that metamorph brat stated. The dark god is preparing to terraform the imperial capital." Ascalor stated as he kept dodging the tentacle that seemed to be homing onto him.

"Razor Vine!" A female voice stated as a large plant that have knife like leaves suddenly sprouted from the ground.

The large plant that has a leaf just like a large knife suddenly flailed and hit the tentacle that the dark god sprouted. The Razor Vine easily cut off the tentacle like it was dough, but it still continued to move even after being cut like a real octopus tentacle.

The tentacle that squirmed about became the priority of the human alliance members that are near it. The faceless monsters did not even bother defending themselves from it because it is a part of their dark god. They will not desecrate such a holy item and just accepted their fate of being crushed to death.

"The dark god is still not able to influence the world with its godly presence. Everyone attack!" Ascalor shouted as he wanted the other party to also hear what he said.

The reason that the demigods are not attacking the dark god is due to one reason and that is fear. They fear that they will also die like the old man that protected the imperial capital. The fear of death is ingrained in the demigods because of their long life.

The fact that demigods are afraid of death is the reason why they want to find a way for them to ascend to a godlike status. They have grown fond of their immensely long life that they now fear death more than any mortal. 

This is the reason why mortals that become demigod become more cautious rather than courageous. They tend to hide in their lair while they send their apostles or servants to do things in the outside world. They only come out when they know that something will benefit them into becoming a god like being.

Upon hearing the ramblings of the demon floating above them, the demigods that are passive suddenly became aggressive. If they could kill the dark god, then part of its divinity will transfer to them and give them a chance to become a real god. 

Each of the demigods present in the human alliance all aimed their strongest attacks at the dark god. Nyarlathotep could only scorn the demon for telling his secret. The only ones who know of this secret is the envoy of the dark gods and the other candidates. 

This is the reason why the dark god immediately used a show of force immediately upon descending. The dark god does not want the demigods to interfere with it and it managed to achieve the goal for most of the time. The demon just had to tell its closely guarded secret.
