Chapter 1138 Behold, the bringer of Light! [Part 2]
Eiko jumped on top of Avery's head to get a better view of the battlefield.
Poseidon's bombardment had decimated the first few waves of monsters that had gotten within its strike range.
Its main cannon was still inactive because it would only be used against Demigods. Even so, its other cannons fired non-stop, sending the Abyssal Army's formation into disarray.
A minute later, several purple barriers materialized on the battlefield, shielding the lower-ranked Abyssal Monsters from Poseidon's deadly barrage.
More than thirty Demigods, with Eligor at the lead, finally decided to first secure their foothold before letting their subordinates massacre everyone in sight.
The moment they made their appearance, Poseidon's Main Cannon started to gather energy, ready to unleash an attack that was strong enough to instantly kill a Demigod if it hit them directly.
Eligor, who saw this, immediately summoned a multi-layered barrier, having felt that an attack with enough power to potentially threaten his life was about to descend upon them.
The other Demigods felt the same, so they, too, reinforced Eligor's barrier with their own defensive abilities, strengthening it to its limit.
A giant beam of light shot out of Poseidon's main cannons, forcing the Agarthians to cover their eyes due to how dazzling it was.
A few seconds later, an earth-shaking explosion erupted in full, sending shock waves that also reached the location of the defenders, which were two miles away from the point of impact.
"Brace!" King Septimius shouted as he created a barrier to prevent his people from being harmed by the aftermath of Poseidon's strongest attack.
When the light receded, they saw the purple barrier slowly shatter into countless pieces.
It survived Poseidon's blow, successfully protecting those behind it.
However, due to the massive force from the blast, the shield still shattered in the end, making Eligor shudder.
A few seconds later, the rest of the Demigods appeared behind him, completing the strongest lineup of the Abyssal Army that had decided to attack Agartha.
"Don't give them a chance to unleash another attack like that!" Eligor shouted. "Charge!"
The Fallen Angel flapped his wings and led the Army to engage their enemies at close range.
The other Demigods followed and unleashed their long-range attacks toward the Gigantic Ship in front of them.
Poseidon's body underwent a transformation as it shifted from its Offensive Mode to its All-Rounder Mode.
This Mode was meant for both offense and defense. Since their enemies had decided to fight them at close range, it couldn't fire its cannons indiscriminately since it would end up causing friendly fire.
The long-ranged attacks of the Demigods were blocked by a golden shield that protected Poseidon's body from getting hit directly.
Lux, who was standing on the deck of Bone Ship, raised his hand and signaled for their counterattack.
As soon as he gave the order, Avernus and Andras jumped off of the Bone Ship and took on their Bestial Forms.
A Vampire-Werewolf, whose only goal was to slaughter everything within its range, and a Dracolich, whose notoriety was well known across Elysium.
Blackfire also summoned the Eleven Demigods under its command, and they didn't hesitate to clash against the Abyssal Creatures, who were targeting Poseidon first.
"It seems that Agartha is being underestimated," King Septimius said with a sneer. "They aren't even paying attention to us."
"Well, I guess we'll just have to show them that it's a mistake," an age-old voice spoke behind King Septimius.
He was none other than the Founding King of Agartha, King Agarath.
The First King of the Ancient Kingdom raised his sword, making the Kings and Queens behind him prepare for battle as well.
"For Agartha!" King Aragath roared.
"""For Agartha!"""
Without another word, the Founder of Agartha flew toward the sky and engaged one of the Demigods who were attacking Poseidon's body.
A Supreme was weaker than a Demigod, but what they lacked in power, they made up for in numbers.
There were twenty Supremes and hundreds of Saints among the Kings and Queens of Agartha, who had risen in order to fight.
King Septimius and the two Supremes by his side also joined the battle.
Their target was none other than Eligor, who they deemed to be the leader of the Abyssal Army.
"Foolish mortals. You are doomed to submit to the Abyss!" Eligor shouted as he parried King Septimius' sword strike before deflecting the attacks of the two other Supremes, who were attacking him from different directions.
"You are the fool here, Fallen Angel," King Septimius replied with a sneer. "You came to my kingdom to die, so I will gladly grant your wish!"
The battle became more intense the moment the bulk of the Abyssal Army finally joined the battle.
The Agarthian Army, which was headed by Sion, Darius, Cleo, and Garen clashed against the Abyssal Army without backing down.
All of them were fighting for their homeland, their families, lovers, children, and their future.
Even if they were to fall in battle, they would die to ensure that those whom they held sacred would live.
"Avery, join the battle!" Eiko jumped off Avery's head and pointed at their enemies.
"Yes, Princess," Avery replied before jumping off the flying ship to repel the Demigods who were trying to break past Poseidon's Barrier.
After her right-hand Captain had left to join the fight, Eiko jumped on her Papa's head with a smirk.
Lux smirked as well. He then ordered Asmodeus and King Leoric to show him the army that they had gathered throughout the one year he was away.
The Wraith King and his Wraith Queen dove down toward the hordes of Abyssal Creatures that were targeting the Main Army of Agartha.
A moment later, tens of thousands of specters gathered around them, creating a green tide that swept over the battlefield, hacking everything in their path.
Since they were part of Lux's forces, all of them were imbued with his Death God's Aura and Divine Abyssal Touch, making their attacks stronger, dealing not only physical damage to their targets but also spiritual damage.
Asmodeus, who didn't want to lose out to King Leoric, raised his hand.
Hundreds of thousands of Liches, Skeleton Archwizards, Skeleton Warlocks, and Skeleton Sorcerers appeared on, above it, and along the sides of the Poseidon's deck.
Asmodeus had scoured countless graveyards, battlefields, and ancient sites, looking for the most powerful magic users.
He intended to create an Arcane Unholy Army, who would dominate the battlefield using destructive spells that would obliterate their foes.
Some of these magicians were raised by Asmodeus, while others were subjugated by him. These Undead Mages who had managed to gain sentience had all agreed to become his subordinates after the Lich King used both fair and foul means to gain their allegiance.
Even Lux didn't expect that his two Named Creatures had formed an army of their own that numbered over a hundred thousand strong.
Asmodeus raised his hand, and all the Mages channeled their powers to create a burning sun high in the sky.
The Lich King sneered because although the battlefield was chaotic, with their enemies and foes fighting at close range, he was confident that he would be able to unleash an attack without triggering friendly fire.
"Behold, the bringer of Light!" Asmodeus roared.
"Mahemium Solis!
The burning sun in the sky exploded into countless Flaming Spears that rained down upon the battlefield.
To everyone's surprise, the Flaming Spears were only hitting the Abyssal Monsters, whose cries of pain, surprise, and frustration resounded on the battlefield, making the sadistic Lich King laugh out loud and causing Eiko and Lux to smile evilly.
