Chapter 1893 Celestial Battle 4
As the intense chase between the Manticore Beast and the two Angelic-looking couples unfolded, the air crackled with multiple blasts and the whooshing of powerful spells. The godly suits of the Nephilim couples radiated divine energy, but with most magus focusing their attacks on the Basilisk, there was limited assistance for the celestial skirmishers.
The nimble movements of Eesho Nephilim and Jinkan Nephilim, clad in their divine armors, clashed against the Manticore's agile maneuvers. Bright flashes illuminated the chamber as golden wings beat against the air, leaving trails of divine energy in their wake. Despite their valiant efforts, the Manticore's health remained robust, and it was evident that the Nephilim couple couldn't keep up with the relentless pace for an extended duration.
Meanwhile, the Arachnids, the ceaseless progenitors of spiders, continued their assault, creating a frenzied dance of eight-legged horrors. Magus were forced to dodge and weave through the horde, their attention diverted from the Manticore battle.
Amid the relentless battle that persisted for a grueling 20 minutes, the chamber became a grim tableau of sacrifice. Over a hundred magus, encompassing both humans and elves, lay fallen on the celestial-stricken ground. Among them were Olvos Stormbringer and Claris Ainsworth, revered leaders of Jinkan's team, their formidable full moon souls extinguished in the face of overwhelming odds.

As the relentless onslaught continued, the entire chamber became an unforgiving battlefield, saturated with celestial constructs and spiders. The magus found themselves trapped, unable to push back the overwhelming tide. Their perseverance in the face of such adversity hinged on the pivotal contributions of the Arcanum Arcane Magus and Imperium Techno Magus.
The Arcanum Arcane Magus maintained a stalwart defense through superior formations, erecting barriers against the ceaseless onslaught. Magus rallied behind these protective structures, clinging to the dwindling hope that their resilience could outlast the relentless celestial forces.
On the technological front, the Imperium Techno Magus donned specialized power armor equipped with high-grade armaments, including Ionic beams, reunite bullet rounds, and thermal cannons. Their advanced weaponry unleashed a relentless barrage, momentarily holding back the celestial onslaught.
Yet, the situation grew dire. The number of arcane Magus dwindled steadily, their once-complete arcane predictions now faltering. The Paladins, reliant on ammunition, depleted their stockpiles in the relentless battle.
At the precipice of their endurance, one final push threatened to overwhelm the defenders, casting an impending sense of doom. The chamber, already filled with an unrelenting horde of celestial constructs and spiders, witnessed the emergence of a new threat through the crack in their defensive formation.
Purplish blood spurted from the wound, accompanied by Kasius's groans of pain, diverting the demon lord's attention toward Dyoo.
"Dyoo!! Get back!!" Emery shouted, fully aware of the grave danger his friend was in. Despite Emery's urgent warning, he could only witness Dyoo's shoulder being split apart.
"Arrghhhh!!"
Swiftly, another figure emerged, chanting words and delivering multiple palm strikes, each strike carrying the weight of a mountain. Mahinder's light-based attack, known as [1000 Blossom Sacred Strike], proved effective in pushing the creature back and saving Dyoo's life.
The intense barrage of strikes effectively pushed the creature back, creating a momentary reprieve.
Seizing the oppprtunity, Emery unleashed his roots to ensnare the stumbling creature, and with the swift execution of [Bloodhound Step], he deftly maneuvered around Kasius. In a powerful display of clawed strikes, Emery relentlessly attacked, forcing the demon lord back away from the critical formation.
The creature bore multiple large wounds on its chest, but to Emery's dismay, they swiftly regenerated. Kasius, undeterred, wore a smug smile.
"It's no use! You cannot stop me!! The time of Magus is over; the resurgence has arrived!!" proclaimed Kasius with an air of ominous certainty. The echoes of his declaration reverberated through the chamber, creating an unsettling atmosphere. The magus faced not only a formidable adversary but a looming threat to their very existence.
In that critical moment, Emery witnessed Eeshoo received a critical blow in the air while assisting Jinkan. As the Nephilim genius crashed to the ground, Jinkan found herself becoming the primary target of the Manticore.
Jinkan cunningly led the creature toward the gate, appearing to flee. However, a figure of immense power emerged from the gate – a half-man, half-dragon wielding a massive sword samshing the manticore back to the ground.
