Chapter 679: Savior Arrived on The Battlefield
"I won"t allow it!" Freya put her hands together with a clap. She removed the pressure and created a zone of air around her.
At the same time, she cast her ultimate magic and spread her arms high toward the sky.
A purple magic circle appeared in the sky to ward off the incoming reddish-black fire breath.
*Boom!* *Swiish!*
A bluish explosion came out of nowhere and hit the skeleton dragon"s head. The extremely dangerous fire breath immediately changed trajectory a few tens of degrees to the side, saving the humans and monsters below.
*Boom!*
An abyss of black flames was created from the battlefield to the center of the explosion. A ma.s.sive black dome-shaped explosion obliterated a rocky mountain in the distance.
"Grrrrgh!" The skeleton dragon growled and turned towards where the sudden attack came from.
"Who would have thought that a calamity beast was here. I"ll take care of that skeleton dragon. Please help the humans down there. They are still hit by a dangerous area of effect magic spell." After saying that, Oceanid immediately covered his body with his divine water war armor. He brandished his trident and shot toward the skeleton dragon.
*Boom!*
A fierce battle of power shook the sky. The pitch-black clouds were blown away due to the clash.
"We also need to act immediately to help them." Elena looked down with a solemn expression.
"En!" Elysia nodded and activated her divine battlesuit. She immediately returned Elena"s golden bracelet.
Sylvia also immediately activated her divine battlesuit, while Vanessa transformed into a big winged tiger before using her battlesuit.
"Get on my back, master." Vanessa lay flat.
Elysia made sure Yuuki was safe in her arms and climbed onto Vanessa"s back. They then flew down.
"Sylvi, you take care of those Saint-level giant monsters. I need to help Sea G.o.d take care of that gigantic skeleton dragon." Elena activated her divine angel battlesuit. She put the Gravy Ark into the s.p.a.ce Bag and immediately flew towards the skeleton dragon.
"Uh, huh?" Sylvia floated in mid-air in a fl.u.s.ter. She also wanted to fight the gigantic dragon and become a dragon slayer. Still, she had already received orders from the G.o.ddess of Light.
Therefore, she immediately swooped down to catch up with Elysia. She had to eliminate those ugly giant monsters.
"!?" Elysia felt it was hard to breathe. Oxygen was not present due to an unknown pressure from the skeleton dragon.
Thus, she took out her fallen angel staff and swung it aside. She used her imagination magic to create a disturbance to negate the pressure and destroy the area of effect curse magic.
"Gasp..." Freya panted and paled. Her protective magic circle crumbled when it faced the reddish-black fire breath earlier, though only for less than a second.
She looked up at the battle between the skeleton dragon and two ent.i.ties with golden auras. Two divine beings came to their rescue. If it wasn"t for help that came on time, perhaps, they would all have been reduced to ashes.
A moment later, her attention was drawn to a big white winged-tiger with an angel of darkness on its back.
"Why are you all still on the ground? Rise up and kill these accursed monsters with us! Exterminate them all and claim absolute victory!" Elysia raised her fallen angel staff high and shouted to raise everyone"s morale.
"Oooh!" Sylvia was the first to respond with a war cry. She swung her spear and flung the giant monster away from the fallen holy knight.
"Hey, you"re a General-rank holy knight, right? Stop being pathetic. Hurry up and help us save the day." Sylvia quipped at the man clad in gold armor before leaving to face the giant monster.
"Heh, a c.o.c.ky dragonkin." Patrick snorted and stood up. He stretched his hand forward, and his greatsword flew into his hand.
He then rushed to another Saint-level giant monster to finish it off.
"The savior has arrived!"
"Slaughter these monsters to ashes!"
"Take revenge on our fallen brothers and sisters!"
"Oooh!"
"By the power of the holy light!"
Exclamation after cry echoed the knights and warriors. They immediately rose with high morale and immediately faced the monsters with everything they had.
"Hmm?" Elysia accidentally noticed her friend"s presence in the backline. She didn"t know what had happened, but her friend looked very pale even though she smiled happily at her.
"Vann, can you help these troops eliminate those accursed monsters? However, make sure your battle is in the anti-curse zone." Elysia patted Vanessa"s back gently.
"Your orders are obligatory on me, master. Allow me to enter the battlefield to sharpen my fighting instincts." Vanessa glanced back and nodded.
"Please be careful." Elysia then flew away from Vanessa"s back.
"Hehe..." Vanessa smirked at the lowly monsters down there. She flapped her wings and started tearing apart the monsters that fell within her scope of attack.
"Ely!" Evelyn waved her hand high to welcome her best friend"s arrival. She never expected Elysia would come to save everyone at such a great time.
"Good to see you again, Eve. Are you all right?" Elysia immediately grabbed Evelyn"s wrist to check her friend"s condition. However, she could not find any discrepancies. Evelyn was fine, just pretty scared.
"Ely, I miss you so much. Many things have happened, and wars are going on everywhere. We are all doing our best to exterminate the accursed creatures as the G.o.ddess of Blessings ordered." Evelyn grasped her best friend"s hand back.
"Mm, you"ve all worked hard." Elysia replied with a tender smile.
At that moment, a young female mage approached with an annoyed and furious expression. "So, you are the one named Ely. You are an angel of darkness who wants to save the world?"
"Hm? And who are you?" Elysia can feel this female mage has unstable emotions, dominant in revenge.
"I"m Willie. I"m sorry to say this, but why did you give a divine-cla.s.s artifact to this weak mage? It would be much better if you gave such a top-tier mage suit to a high-cla.s.s mage like Miss Freya. But, why it must be her!? She is only an Apprentice-cla.s.s mage and can"t do much! If possible, it would be much better if you armed many people to fight those monsters! My brother died because this weak mage couldn"t use her divine mage-suit to its full potential because she is weak!" Willie screamed with sorrow and anger. She didn"t feel it was fair, and she just took her anger out on someone else.
Evelyn trembled slightly and paled. She knew her capabilities very well, but it hurt when it was clearly stated.
Elysia looked at Evelyn for a moment. Her friend was indeed wearing the mage battlesuit, but how did this female mage know it was from her?
"My condolences. But we are on the battlefield. Your brother was on the front lines as a brave hero who fought to protect his loved ones from accursed creatures, including you. I don"t know why you say mean things upon his death. You should honor him and fight the enemies instead." Elysia heaved a quiet sigh and diverted the matter in this conversation.
"Wha-" Willie didn"t expect this dark angel would say such a thing.
"I don"t really understand what kind of discontent you have with Princess Evelyn, but please don"t continue. Blaming something on someone for a cause won"t get you anywhere, miss. Your real enemies are accursed creatures, not anyone from your allies. If you really can fight, then avenge your brother"s death by eliminating those monsters, those who have brought disaster and sorrow to everyone." Elysia looked at the other mages to see their expressions.
"The war is still going on, and our struggle does not stop here. Moving on, we unite to exterminate the monsters of curse and disaster!" Elysia exclaimed excitedly. After that, she fled with Evelyn to the front line.
"Ooh! Exterminate those cursed monsters into nothingness."
"Use magic to inflict physical damage on those monsters!"
"We can do more than this!"
"The strong ones have been dealt with. We"ll exterminate the monster minions until there are none left!"
"Die you, filthy monsters!"
The mages immediately cast tons of magic with the physical damage output to the horde of monsters ahead.
Willie froze on the spot as she watched the dark angel leave with Evelyn. She gritted her teeth because she also knew it. She was not strong enough, and she became a loser by blaming others.
What the dark angel said was true. Her brother was dead in this battle, but she wouldn"t let his killer live. Her weak self and those monsters were to blame, not the others.
"Ely, that. She-, I"m useless and weak, right?" Evelyn looked back. That rude female mage also returned to the battlefield despite everything.
"That girl is grieving because her brother died on this battlefield, Eve. She is in an unstable phase, and I encourage her to vent it out on the real enemies, not an ally who has done her best to save many people. You are not weak, Eve. Please don"t look at who you failed to save but who you have saved. Sometimes, we can"t protect everyone. We must know your priorities." Elysia took out an anti-curse mechanism staff from her s.p.a.ce Storage and activated it.
"En." Evelyn just nodded meekly because her best friend had said it that way.
"We will slay a gigantic skeleton dragon. Are you ready, Eve?" Elysia looked up and sent telepathy to Elena.
"Uh-huh? Wait, what?" Evelyn widened her eyes in surprise. She could hardly believe what her best friend had just said.
