Hereswith, who was desperately trying to fight against the unending tide of Golden Abominations suddenly felt her Rank return to the Peak of the Demigod Rank. Th.ê most uptodate novels are published on n(0)velbj)n(.)co/m
She was part of Lux's entourage, and his presence on the battlefield negated the effect of the Abyssal Laws that Nyarlathotep had set in place on all of his allies.
Originally, his power alone was not enough to fight against one of the Pillars of Eternity that had the power to bend the laws of the world to its will.
However, he was no longer the same as before.
Not only had he stepped into the Ranks of Supreme, he was now also in possession of one of the Pillars of Eternity.
The Golden Locket that represented Love, was passed unto him by Aurora during their lovemaking.
She deemed that Lux would be able to use it better than her, especially since he would be facing someone like Daniel in the future.
The golden locket's specialty was protection.
It could create powerful barriers that could withstand the strongest attacks once manifested.
And right now, all of his subordinates' bodies were coated with a thin film of this barrier, negating the effects of the Abyssal Law that decreased their Ranks by one realm.
"Lux," Hereswith said as she looked at her Grand Disciple who was riding on top of Avernus, commanding his Undead Legion to fight the enemies that were aiming to destroy and kill the people who were important in his life.
His lovers were currently sheltered within the World Tree, so no matter what happened, he would prevent anyone and anything from harming them.
"Grandmaster, I'll handle this fiend," Lux said, giving the beautiful Elf a reassuring smile. "Please handle the small fries."
"Understood," Hereswith replied. Now that her Rank had returned to its peak, she unleashed the full might of her profession, which was Heaven's Necromancer, just like Lux.
Under her influence, anyone that had died on the battlefield would automatically be resurrected into a Greater Undead, instead of turning into a Golden Abomination that served the Outer God.
Truth be told, she no longer needed to do this because Lux was already doing the same. However, having two Necromancers working together was better than a Necromancer fighting alone. "Interesting," Nyarlathotep said. "How did you manage to enter the barrier? I am certain that only Abyssal Creatures can pass through it."
"The answer to that is really simple."
A carefree voice reached Nyarlathotep's ears, making it glance towards the Northern side of the Elven Capital.
There, it saw an Old Man seated on top of an eight-legged horse, and casually throwing a Silver Spear from time to time, saving the fleeing Elves from being killed by the Golden Abominations.
High-Rankers, Saints, Calamities, and Demigods.
Blackfire had them all, and it was now unleashing these fiends into the world.
Among Lux's subordinates, Blackfire was perhaps the most determined to collect the strongest creatures, who would serve its Master. And now, its hard work was paying off as its minions rampaged across the battlefield, turning any Abomination they encountered into meat paste. With the Powerhouses under his command joining the battle, Lux was certain that he didn't need to worry about anything else.
All he needed to do was face the Outer God, who had terrorized the entirety of Elysium, and thought of mortals as nothing but tools to pass off its boredom.
"You said earlier that you seek the Monsters that people fear the most," Nyarlathotep said in a teasing tone. "Well, too bad, I am way out of your league, Boy."
After saying those words, Nyarlathotep pointed at the World Tree in the distance and condensed a black orb of light on the tip of its finger.
"Next time you brag about something, make sure that you can back it up," Nyarlathotep stated "I AM INVINCIBLE!"
It then unleashed a dark beam of light towards the World Tree, intending to destroy it with a single blow.
A few seconds later a powerful explosion shook the land, and a dense cloud of smoke spread in the surroundings.
Nyarlathotep frowned because the outcome that he was expecting didn't happen.
From within the dark smoke that rose up to the heavens, a pair of pale blue glowing orbs shone brightly.
A moment later, a Giant Skeleton King emerged from it and laughed.
Both of its arms were destroyed because it used its body to block Nyarlathotep's attack. Even so, it looked at the Outer God in ridicule for boasting to be Invincible.
"We'll see how invincible you really are." Lux sneered from inside the blue jewel of his Deus Gigantia.
The destroyed arms of his Skeleton King recovered in mere seconds, making Nyarlathotep scoff.
"It seems that you still think that you have what it takes to beat me," Nyarlathotep stated.
"I don't need to think," Lux replied as more arms emerged from the body of his Skeleton King, which were holding different weapons in each hand. "I will beat you."
A red mist also appeared around its body and the Corpse God, who always protected Lux, manifested itself to merge with the Skeleton King, raising its attack and defense to the next level.
"You will be a good warm up before I fight against Daniel," Lux stated as the Skeleton King charged towards Nyarlathotep with its weapons ready to strike.
"Keep your dreams in you sleep, boy," Nyarlathotep replied as it, too, charged at the Skeleton King, who was of the same size as it. "It's time to wake up to reality."
A moment later, the two titans punched out, meeting each other's fists, and officially starting the battle that would decide the fate of the World of Elysium.
