Regulus became a Sun Lion Elemental as his energy is more of the sun than fire itself. The angels that were facing him could not take the heat that he is emitting. With a powerful roar, Regulus released a breath of fire that hit the barrier of the floating castle.
"Stop it!" The angels shouted as they knew that the flame breath of Regulus could seriously damage the floating castle.
A light veil suddenly appeared in front of the flame breath as Pristina protected the invisible floating castle. Pristina looked at her subordinates and glared at them because she was supposed to release a spell but she had to protect the castle. She might have buffed them but her subordinates are being reckless.
"Kill that thing." Pristina commanded as she still protected the floating castle as Regulus is not stopping his breath attack.
One of the angels noticed that the summoner of Regulus is not moving and tried attacking her. Soleil is linked with Regulus which means she will not recover health or be able to cast spells unless Regulus vanishes. The angel tried to aim her sword at Soleil but she was blocked by a lightning breath.
The angel that tried to harm Soleil got hit by Shock's lightning dragon breath. The angel in question is also paralyzed due to the sudden electric shock that came her way. Basil made sure to protect Soleil as she knows that she is one of their heavy hitters.
Basil is flying using Pyro while Shock is being ridden by Pana. The combination of the archer and the lightning dragon is definitely broken as Pana's arrow apply status ailments. Pana would use arrows that turn into mana bindings, poison, stun, or vine traps. He would make use of the paralyzing effect of Shock's attack.
Ark is the one that is getting encircled but he is being protected by Peridot and Vayu. The other guild members made sure to protect Ark as well as soon as he started to chant something. The trinket that Ark held is slowly gaining power as he pushed his light and dark elemental energy into it.
Seeing something amiss, Pristina immediately switched from protecting the floating castle to an offensive stance. She suddenly fired a Light Prism beam towards Ark but Peridot showed up and used a Dark Elemental Stone to absorb the light. Pristina knew that she would not be able to touch Ark unless she goes all in but if that happens then the floating castle will be defenseless.
None of Pristina's subordinate is a guardian as she focused more on offensive for her group. She wanted to easily deal with her opponents as she would give her team buffs that can make them overthrow their enemies in seconds. The only problem now is that their enemies are better at defenses and status ailments.
Pristina is wasting all of her mana in healing her team members while the other group just continues to apply it. She found that the most troublesome people are the two dragons which she could not grasp the way they fight. Pristina already knows of Basil as she is the Mother of Dragons which is also a prime target for the angels ever since the dragons and angels went to war.
"I cannot deal with this while protecting the floating castle. I must get some reinforcements." Pristina stated as she created a sphere of light and threw it behind her.
The light orb that she threw went straight to the clouds as it will take about ten minutes to reach the Silver City. She might not want to get help but her current group is not suited for battling the Pantheon Guild. Just as she thought that she could become relax for a second, a powerful energy suddenly exploded from afar.
"Storm Sword Fifth Style: Storm Guillotine!" Vayu stated as his body suddenly turned into pure lightning.
Vayu's pure lightning body then vanished from his current location as a powerful shredding sound reverberated in the air. The barrier that protected the floating castle is destroyed with one hit. The white floating castle suddenly appeared to everyone in the area.
Pristina is shocked as she did not expect something like that due to her not sensing the other half elemental human. Pristina needed to restore the barrier, but Regulus is keeping her busy while all of her subordinates are trying to stop Ark. Seeing that she needed to step up. Pristina prayed to her goddess which the Goddess of Light answered her call.
"I shall give you power my child. Get me that Nephilim in return." The Goddess of Light Luminaria stated as she borrowed the eyes of Pristina.
The Goddess of Light Luminaria was not paying attention to Pristina before as the other angels were fighting with the dragons in another continent. She only looked at Pristina's situation when the latter prayed to her and she actually found the Nephilim. The Goddess of Light Luminaria knew why Mikhail wanted the Nephilim, but she also wants Ark.
The Nephilim contains the power of Samael which is the superior control of light and darkness. If the Goddess of Light Luminaria gets the power of the Nephilim then she would be equal to the god called the King of Twilight. If she becomes the Goddess of Light and Darkness then she would have power equal to a Primordial God.
The Goddess of Light Luminaria always eyed to become a Primordial Goddess, but that rank is not bestowed to just any god or goddess. Even if she were to convert every living being into her follower, she will not become a Primordial Goddess as she will still be the same Goddess of Light. She will forever be trapped unless she gets a power that rivaled the Primordial Gods.
Pristina is suddenly hit by a beam of light that came from the heavens as the Goddess of Light Luminaria blessed her with her aspect. Pristina's attire changed to become a silver dress with gold linings. Her face is also suddenly covered with a veil of light that make it seem that her face is translucent.
The most obvious change would be that Pristina suddenly became five meters big. Her six wings glowed in golden light compared to looking like white bird wings. The aura around her also changed as if the light element around her is submitting to her will.
"Illuminate!" Pristina stated as she pointed her palm towards Regulus.
The magic circle did not even take a second to form as a laser blasted out of it. Regulus did not even have time to dodge as he is hit with the powerful beam of light. A part of Regulus' body got destroyed but he managed to restore it once more since he got fire energy from the surroundings.
The sudden change in Pristina alarmed everyone as they thought that they could get by, but she changed drastically. Pristina did not stop with Regulus as she turned towards Vayu that is trying to destroy the floating castle. With a single thought, numerous magic circles appeared around Vayu.
Vayu knew that he cannot get caught as he would surely die if he gets hit with all thirty beams of light. He transformed his body once more into the storm element to run away. He would have easily dodge if not for Pristina suddenly creating a cage of light that trapped his body.
"Dark Curtain!" Peridot stated as she crushed the dark elemental stone that she used to absorb the attack from Pristina earlier.
The whole area is suddenly covered in darkness as the light element weakened. The only one's glowing were the angels as the light element in their body fought the darkness. Pristina did not mind as she wanted to kill Vayu while she still had the chance.
"Dragon Force!" Basil shouted as she filled every part of her body with mana.
She then launched herself towards the gigantic Pristina and punched her head from behind. One would think that Pristina would be easily block that as she was covered with a light barrier but that barrier broke as soon as Basil made impact. The scene of a gigantic angel being hit from behind would looked quite funny if there was no one that interrupted.
"It seems that I arrived faster than I thought." A male voice suddenly stated as Gabriel arrived.
Gabriel arrived early because he intercepted the orb of light that Pristina sent. He did not expect that Pristina would be granted the blessing of the Goddess of Light, but the enemies made it understandable. Gabriel's sudden appearance threw the balance in the favor of the angels. With one attack, Gabriel managed to kill one of the guild members but his appearance gave Vayu time to escape.
"The Nephilim is here. I need your help in restraining him." Pristina stated as she pointed towards Ark.
"I shall handle the ones around the Nephilim. Kill the rest of them. Restrain the Mother of Dragons as well. She will be a great captive." Gabriel stated as he held his sword and shield.
