Chapter 397 Beyond God Level
"..."
Right now, I couldn't see anyone trying to destroy the chains, though. So, is the one who called the gate not present on this battlefield? Follow current novels at novelhall.com)
"No!"
I quickly detected movement from the middle of their formation, right at the center of their teleportation array. The stupid prince, he's preparing to destroy the chains!
I gritted my teeth before waving my sword once. If nobody stopped him, then I fear something bad would happen. From my gut feeling, although it sounds impossible, the beyond-God-level angel would end up coming here.
I'm not entirely sure why I was thinking that, but for some reason, I'm convinced that is what would happen. Foresight?
"Blanc! Open the barrier; I need to stop that b*stard prince from breaking the chains!"
I already lowered my stance, about to dash forward. Now, I'm only waiting for Goddess Blanc to lower the barrier so that I can head onward.
"... That gate is bad news, right?"
She sighed, as if conflicted.
"Alright. I'll be opening the barrier in three!"
Right after she said so, she began spreading a bigger barrier just outside. The new barrier pushed back all the tamers that were surrounding us and even neutralized any attacks that were coming for us.
"Three!"
When the count ended, I quickly kicked off the ground, watching as the barrier dissolved in an instant. As soon as I got out, I activated [Shadow Teleportation] and appeared right beside the empire's prince.
"Stop that, you idiot!"
He had his two palms a few inches away from each other, right in front of his chest. In their middle, a glowing blue and red light was rotating rapidly, creating a beautiful display. However, no matter how beautiful it was, I couldn't let him complete it!
With a wide swing, I tried to cut his wrist, but surprisingly, my sword was repelled, as if hitting a hard object. What sort of defense does he have?!
"Sh*t! Don't break, don't break, don't break!"
I prayed continuously but was disappointed shortly after.
*CRACK!*
The chains had a fine crack on them after the prince's attack landed. It was a small crack at first, but then it began to spread until the entire link was covered in the cracks. Then, with an unceremonious pop, it turned to dust and scattered with the wind.
*CLINK!*
*CLANK!* *CLINK!*
*CLINK!* *CLANK!* *CLINK!*
The chains slowly fell, pulling the rest of them as they went down. Soon enough, the chains wrapping the gate completely disappeared, crashing down on top of God Zeshion's isolated space.
"..."
The entire field went quiet instantly. Almost everyone was starting to see the sky, watching the red gate.
*SQUEAK!* *CREEAAAAAK!*
And, with a loud sound, along with a red cloud coming from inside it, the gates finally opened up. As soon as it did, I felt goosebumps run across my skin.
'It's coming!'
When the gates opened completely, the prince began to laugh loudly, calling to his army.
"Look, my brave soldiers! The epitome of strength! Our empire's greatest weapon! The beyond-god-level Angel Azrael!"
As he shouted, a pair of fair hands appeared from beyond the door, slowly pulling themselves out. After the hands, the three pairs of folded wings appeared, then an entire body, followed by a golden halo radiating a holy light.
[... Who dares to call me?]
The familiar voice echoed loudly in my mind, making me gulp with anxiety.
"It came out..."
