Chapter 287 Death... Death Comes to All...
Approximately ten minutes before Samiel Zentaur, the Holy Son of the Hall of Kadath, began his duel with the Pirate King Wentworth Ruthland. The pirates were flooding the battleship of the Hall of Kadath as the Templar Knights, Priests and Undead that Samiel summoned were fighting against the invaders.
Individually, the pirates were no match for the experienced Templar Knights or for the powerful Bronze-Tier Undead that Samiel cultivated with all of his might, effort and time, as they were his little darlings.
But if there was one thing that the pirates had the great advantage, it were their numbers, as they were like a never-ending horde that was still coming and coming, no matter how many of them they had already killed.
Yet it didn't deter anyone from killing more and more of the scum of the seas as everyone on the battleship fought like a God of War incarnate for the precious seconds and time. Every single of their high-end powerhouses had specifically selected roles for them.
Juulius was commanding the Templar Knights, while Yvraine after the battle started, was forced to take command of the clergy and join them in spell casting.
The Priests of the Ecclesiarchy Branch of the Hall of Kadath, while powerful individually, had the best results when they were cast as one. Their battle formations when they were spellcasting together were fearsome across the entire Material Plane.
Samiel's Higher Undead were too engrossed in the battle, as they were blocking a large number of pirates by themselves, especially Ashimer, who was commanding all of the Bronze-Tier Undead on the ship that Samiel summoned.
Suddenly as everyone was engrossed in the battle, they could all see a tremendous aura erupt from the pirate flagship belonging to the Pirate King Wentworth Ruthland, and soon after, a second aura erupted on the pirate flagship belonging to the Holy Son.
Everyone from the Hall of Kadath could feel the penetrating cold aura belonging to the Outer Gods appearing on the Material Plane of the Cosmos, signifying that the Holy Son used the possession form and was fighting against the Pirate King.
Even Yvraine, who had reached Silver-Tier some time ago, had to begrudgingly admit that she was inferior in terms of the raw power to the Pirate King Wentworth Ruthalnd. The same could be said about Juulius, who would be even more at s disadvantage against the Pirate King as both of them were a close-combatants.
After the battle started, Yvriane had killed more than several hundred pirates, either with her sharp blades or through her Spells, as she was casting one elemental spell after another from the Elementia Magicae.
"Increase the output of spells; prepare another super-spell formation!"
Yvraine commanded the Priests of the Ecclesiarchy Branch to cast another super-spell formation that would wipe out a good number of pirates that were running to the ship.
Not only that, but the super-spell formation would be powerful enough to sink several of the pirate ships that were surrounding them. And as Yvraine was commanding the Priests, Samiel's sworn knight, Juulius was cutting his way through the battleship and defending all critical areas.
Together with Ashimer, they were the reason why the pirates didn't achieve any significant victory in the battle and were still dying in great numbers. As soon as the pirates boarded, they targeted the defenses and cannons of the battleship.
But those were all defended splendidly by the entourage of the Holy Son and they stood their ground.
From the battleships, everyone soon saw that Mana Levels were tremendously rising at lightning speed. Yet at the same time, those with a keen sense to Magic and Mana sensed that something was happening at the pirate flagship.
The aura belonging to Holy Son was steadily decreasing, like something was draining his aura at a fast speed and it was getting stronger and stronger. Especially the aura of the so-called "Outsidness" was being suppressed.
This didn't escape the superior senses of Yvraine and Juulius and in the end, Yvraine couldn't hold her worries as she decided to take the fight to the pirate flagship and went there after giving commander over the Priests to Samiel's Higher Undead, Negash.
The Silvermoon Crown Princess started running toward the pirate flagship, acrobatically avoiding any object in her path while decapitating unfortunate pirates that were standing in her way.
As she was nearing the flagship, she suddenly saw an enormous flaming phoenix that flapped its huge wings and descended back at the flagship with full force, exploding in waves of flames that were burning everything alive in their path.
Only when the void flames disappeared she continued to the pirate flagship while killing the pirates that crossed her way with even higher ferocity and rage than before.
From the moment she decided to come here, she started getting very bad feelings about the entire situation and felt that something bad would certainly happen.
And unfortunately, she was certainly right because she saw her lover being pierced through his stomach with some anti-void weapon, as he was bleeding from all over his body, feeling weak, tired and on the last legs of his power.
She was frozen in her stupor as she watched how Samiel froze himself around the parts of his body where Pirate King Wentworth Ruthalnd stabbed him in the stomach and then blasted the Pirate King apart until he was obliterated from the realm of existence.
Unfortunately, as she rushed towards him the very moment, the impact of his last blow was so powerful that it shot him like a cannonball directly into the cold waters of the Northern Onceans, as his form was slowly being sunk down.
Yvraine was so shocked that she couldn't utter a word, as subconsciously, she started crying because the only thing she could think of was the death of her most beloved person.
Everything was silent...
With the last blow, Samiel Zentaur destroyed the entire fleet of pirates and the majority of the pirates died, be it those on the ships or airships; almost nobody survived.
Those who did were already escaping as far as possible from her.
Not noticing anything around her, she collapsed on her knees as she sobbed silently and a few tears dropped on the deck of the ship, when she noticed a small magitek cube lying several meters away from her.
"Magisterium..."
She muttered with venom and hatred as she looked at the small mechanical magitek cube. The sole reason why Samiel was in such a situation was due to this device nullifying the Void, as it was specifically designed to counter them...
And there were only three factions within the Material Plane that were capable of producing something like that. The first was the Hall of Kadath; the second was the Scientia Hierarchy and the third...
Third was the Magisterium.
"I will kill you all... even if it should be the last thing I do..."
