Chapter 411: Chapter 411 - The Lightning Warden
Atlas remained standing upright on the floating platform as time itself seemed to slow down. Hundreds of enemy troops rushed toward him at terrifying speed, their movements blurring together as they closed the distance.
So many attacks at once. Were they truly planning to go all out on him from the very start?
[Legendary โ Seraphic Breaker: Dawnfall Lance (Conditional Active Skill) activated.]
In that fleeting instant, two figures suddenly appeared behind Atlas. Two women.
One of them was a woman with long blonde hair, her movements sharp and precise as both of her hands moved in rapid motion. Within seconds, a massive magic circle shaped like overlapping flower petals formed beneath Atlasโs feet.
Like a colossal blooming blossom made of pure energy, the petals rose and wrapped around his body, enclosing him in layers of radiant light.
Beside her was Elyndra, her seraph wings fully spread, glowing brilliantly against the darkened sky.
At the same time, the storm filled heavens split apart. The thick black clouds were torn open, and from that opening, a Lance of Dawn began to descend.
It was a colossal spear of condensed light, forged from blinding radiance.
Dozens, then hundreds of blades made of pure light manifested from every direction, hovering in the air like an execution array, all poised to strike anyone who dared enter its range.
[A dual soul technique that manifests the Lance of Dawn. Light based actions charge the spear. Once fully charged, it is hurled or used in a high speed impalement, detonating in a burst of purified Light.]
The ability continued to charge each time Atlas or Elyndra used a light based spell.
Come closer.
The more of them that gathered in one place, the more devastating the impact of his spell would become.
Come on.
As they drew nearer, crowding the same stretch of sky, Atlas smirked behind his fully closed helmet, his sharp gaze burning with anticipation.
Everything happened in an instant. So fast that it felt as if every event unfolded at the same time.
Because at that very moment, Atlas saw it clearly. A single figure suddenly appeared in the midst of the hundreds of enemy troops.
Edrik.
He appeared out of nowhere, hovering in the air, causing everyone around him to freeze in shock, their movements disrupted for a split second.
Edrik moved with terrifying speed, maneuvering through the air as his dagger slashed outward, as if he were cutting directly through reality itself.
Cracks of dimensional rifts formed instantly, spreading through the air in jagged lines.
A massive explosion followed, throwing everyone nearby off balance and sending bodies flying as control was lost midair.
Edrik vanished just as quickly as he had appeared.
And in the very next instant.
A massive fireball suddenly formed in the center of the sky.
It was the miniature sun that Edrik had previously stored within his dimensional space. He released it once more, this time unleashing it directly upon the enemy troops.
A weapon born from their own power, now turned against them.
Hundreds, even thousands of fireballs filled the sky in the blink of an eye.
The setup was complete.
Wrapped in golden lightning, Atlas launched himself forward at terrifying speed. In that brief instant, he appeared right in the middle of hundreds of enemy troops.
They could only see him for a split second, with no time to react to anything at all.
[Unique โ Stormcall Domain (Active Skill) activated.]
[Legendary โ Crimson Reaper Dominion (Active Skill) activated.]
[Unleashes a large area execution field where spectral crimson reapers manifest and hunt every enemy within range.]
Violent thunderous impacts erupted instantly. In the same moment, hundreds of enemies within the area felt something latch onto them from behind.
Spectral reapers manifested, clinging to their bodies, slicing them apart with relentless speed.
Atlas surged forward again, moving as one with the lightning.
The war had begun.
Explosion after explosion. Slash after slash.
All of Gacha Havenโs elite forces flooded the sky soon after. Morganna, Serenith, Krythalis, Dullorak, and hundreds of other troops joined the assault.
Screams of pain and roaring detonations filled the heavens, the air saturated with nonstop attacks.
The massive miniature sun now turned back on Bolinโs own forces, tearing through their ranks.
No matter how strong or how numerous Bolinโs army was, the opening setup unleashed by Atlas was devastating.
At the very least, it would wipe out two hundred to three hundred of their troops in those first moments alone.
Atlas fought with absolute brutality. He moved like living lightning, appearing wherever he willed. Every swing of his weapon unleashed thunderous explosions, each strike carrying devastating power.
His thirty two swords and spears shot wildly in every direction, piercing and slashing anyone in their path.
There was no escaping them. Whenever one of those weapons was deflected, it would immediately redirect, flying off in another direction to strike a different target.
Atlas kept his focus locked on Bolin, who was still positioned in the distance, actively casting his skills.
He surged forward, cutting down five enemies at once in a single pass. A massive explosion followed, yet Atlas did not slow down in the slightest.
Everything happened at blistering speed.
In that same fleeting moment, he caught sight of Morganna not far from him, tearing through enemies around Atlas with ruthless efficiency. Her presence carved open the battlefield, giving Atlas even more space to accelerate and break through the densely packed enemy lines.
With each second, Atlas pushed deeper, tearing a path through Bolinโs massive army, unstoppable and relentless.
After some time, Atlas finally broke through the enemy ranks completely and shot straight toward Bolin in the distance.
Atlas tightened his grip on his spear, preparing to strike. Above him, a massive reaper manifested, its enormous wings spreading wide across the sky, following him.
Bolin stared back with a fierce expression, while twelve massive azure dragons writhed wildly behind him, coiling through the air as if ready to deliver the harshest punishment imaginable.
Dozens, then hundreds of shadow tendrils burst forth from Atlasโs body. They lashed out at terrifying speed, surging forward like predators, rushing to seize Bolin from afar.
