Dudududu!
Lucifer frowned as he saw the Army of Death. He never imagined that Pluto would intervene and take the side of humans. Lucifer had experienced Ragnarok in the past and was well aware of their frightening nature and cruelty. They were like nightmares, reviving endlessly even when they were killed.
[Army of Death! This has become so much fun! Kuhaha!]
The first head of Ashtar burst out laughing madly and showed satisfaction. A thunderbolt sword was floating by Ashtar"s side. Lucifer thought it was good that he received this sword. If not, he wasn"t sure how he would deal with the enemies.
[I can"t stay still either.]
Lucifer slowly gathered the power of death that he had gained from Nekron. It was a power that Lucifer absorbed by intercepting it in the middle of Pandora absorbing it. Black flames surrounded his body and as Lucifer reached out, various undead started to rise. Ashtar"s second face lit up as he saw it.
[You have become stronger.]
[It was obtained after killing Nekron. It is useful.]
[Indeed.]
Ashtar"s second face looked like it was expected and stared forward again with a cold expression. In front of them, the different undead screamed and made strange noises. There were low level undead and high level undead such as the death knight and dullahans. Lucifer possessed infinite magic power so it was a quite useful power for him.
[Go.]
The moment Lucifer gestured, the undead army pa.s.sed by the demons and ran to stop the Army of Death. Then Ashtar banged together the two swords he was holding and screamed loudly, [Kill them!] The sound of horns spread among the demons and the bizarre demons started to rush. It was like a swarm of ants.
The cavalry demons ran the fastest and they charged on rhino demonic beasts. Their pressure was amazing as they mixed in with the undead. The Army of Death might be on the side of the humans, but the demon army, including Lucifer and Ashtar, had a great power. Therefore, they didn"t think they would lose. It was because they had an overwhelming numerical advantage and more power than humans. Among the humans, there were only a handful of people who could deal with the demons.
Their numbers reached the tens of thousands, while the demons reached the hundreds of thousands. Lucifer gave a low chuckle.
[No matter how much you fly or crawl, this war will end with our victory.]
The moment he finished speaking, harsh shouts and the sounds of various weapons colliding were heard from the front.
* * *
I launched a preemptive strike against the demons in the frontline faster than anyone else. Thanks to the enlightenment received from Aiolos in the Underworld, I had a new control over wind. I formed sharp whirlwinds in the air and threw them at the demons in front. The fan-shaped storm of sharp winds crushed the demons.
After that, the demon army and allied forces collided. The sound of weapons filled the sky. We started off dominant, but the allied forces quickly became surrounded by the demon kings.
[All of the constellations, follow me!]
The constellations pa.s.sed by in the sky and the demons underneath launched counterattacks with fearful expressions. The attacks of the constellations pouring from the sky were overwhelming. Aries was at the center of it and led the constellations to try and break through the encirclement.
Then the generals of the demon army came out and surrounded the constellations. The number was far greater than the constellations so Aries" expression darkened rapidly. I told them not to worry even if they died and sent Solar Phoenix.
The scarlet firebird that was the transformed Solar Phoenix soared toward the demon generals and cried out. Every time Solar Phoenix flapped its wings, fire fell and dealt great damage to the demons.
Aries nodded to express her grat.i.tude and then launched an onslaught against the demon generals. The constellations" counterattack began. Various magic circles centered around Park Maksun appeared in the sky and magic indiscriminately poured out to the demons located below.
The demons shouted. Finally, the demons who could fly finally came out and rushed toward them. It wasn"t known if they were bugs raised in the demon world, but a fierce battle broke out with the witches and wizards of Oz, including Park Maksun.
In the meantime, I swept through the demons using the Flying Kick Techniques. Next to me, Park Muyeol easily crushed some demons with a huge wooden stick, while Zhen Sulong crossed the battlefield with white lightning. Michael"s swordsmans.h.i.+p blossomed in the center of the battlefield and showed an overwhelming force. Mido launched a fierce storm-like attack using the ink dragon along with other guilds gathered around the Icarus Guild. The ink breath showed tremendous power as it shot through the middle of the demons.
On the ground, the Army of Death was slaughtering enemies with a terrifying force. Dead users and NPCs were revived and attacked without any fear of death. This caused the momentum of the demons to fall sharply.
I examined the battlefield with a satisfied expression. I thought we would be able to win if it continued like this.
“......!”
Then at this moment, someone ran through the demons with wild laughter.
[Hahaha! Your counterattack is quite good! I didn"t think you humans could be resurrected! It is tricky, but let"s fight!]
This person was Ashtar. Park Muyeol, who had just suppressed a demonic flying drake, approached me and frowned. “I will be in charge of him. There are no objections, right?”
“Do as you like. I"m busy because I have to take care of other people.”
“I will surely kill him.”
Then I saw Park Muyeol pulling out the dimensional scissors. My eyes widened slightly with surprise. Perhaps Zhen Sulong had lent it to Park Muyeol. Still, what did it matter if he carried a dangerous object in this situation? He would come back to life anyway.
“I"m going.”
“Wait, Hercules?”
“He is almost here.”
I nodded slightly. Park Muyeol rose on the drake and flew toward Ashtar in front of him. Ashtar burst out laughing crazily when he discovered Park Muyeol.
[You! Let"s compete once again!]
“This bad guy—!”
The moment Park Muyeol shouted, they collided with a fierce sound. I quickly s.h.i.+fted my gaze and performed another Flying Kick Technique. Dark clouds rushed in and released acidic rain on the demons. Then I called out a snow storm in the area. The thunderbolts that fell from the sky had the power to instantly turn demons into ashes.
The demon generals gathered around me realized I was an unbeatable opponent and gradually started to withdraw. They tried to flee in different directions and I quickly punished them by releasing attacks that fell from the sky. The frightened demons instantly turned into ashes.
“......!”
However, the demons who became ashes gathered again and became undead. At the same time, there were shocked cries behind me. Everyone was surprised when they saw the demons revive as undead. I quickly looked at the situation using Pluto"s eyes. There were threads of the energy of death that other people couldn"t see above the heads of the undead.
I turned my eyes to the source and found the culprit created the demonic undead.
“Lucifer...”
It was Lucifer who made the demons undead, reviving them. I didn"t know he had this ability. He could actually control the power of death to this extent.
“Annoying.”
The dead demons slowly became undead and rushed back to the allied forces and the situation deteriorated rapidly. It was pandemonium. Each side killed each other, but didn"t die. They came back to life and the endless fights were repeated. If it continued then it was inevitable that the allied forces would surely lose.
“A tsunami is coming!”
Then someone shouted loudly and I quickly turned in that direction. I couldn"t stop my smile as I saw the ident.i.ty of the tsunami.
“They came.”
* * *
[Go! Show the demons the power of Atlantis!] Clymene"s shout reached the merfolk of Atlantis. Numerous merfolk jumped from the tsunami and rushed onto the battlefield.
The ident.i.ty of the ma.s.sive tsunami was created jointly by Clymene and Deucalion.
[Your complexion is pale. Are you okay?]
[I"m still okay, Mother.]
Deucalion nodded with a pale face toward the worried Clymene.
[I didn"t expect the power of Grandfather"s trident to be this much. My star spirit and divinity has been reduced by half.]
[So isn"t your father great? We should take pride in having the blood of a G.o.d.]
[I will keep that in mind.]
Clymene and Deucalion were handed the trident containing Neptune"s power. Kang Jaeseong used half of his remaining divinity to revive the G.o.ddesses. Then he poured his remaining divinity into the trident and handed it over to Clymene and Deucalion. After that, he fell asleep and the two of them led Atlantis" army in accordance to Neptune"s will.
[Then I"ll be going first.]
[You do so. Thank you for giving me a ride.]
The big man opposite Clymene nodded and jumped onto a cloud in an instant. Then he entered the middle of the battlefield. He was Hercules, Park Muyeol"s constellation. Hercules also experienced the time regression last time. At the same time, he heard from Park Muyeol that the demonic army had withdrawn. He was forced to turn toward Hesperides. Then he met Atlantis" large army on the way and they gave him a ride.
[We should join in as well.]
Behind Clymene and Deucalion, a kind woman"s voice was heard. The two people quickly bowed politely. They were Cadiya, Huera, and Maya who were revived by Neptune.
[I think the situation on the battlefield isn"t good.]
[It seems the humans are being pitched. We need to help.]
Maya and Cadiya quickly entered the battlefield. Huera stayed behind to smile at the two people before disappearing like the wind. Clymene and Deucalion made eye contact.
[I"m going too, Mother.]
[Let"s do so.]
The two people permeated into the tsunami. A loud sound was heard from the tsunami and formed a giant white dragon. The rest of the tsunami formed dozens of white horses and slowly swept away the demons on the outskirts.
