Chapter 1139 The Battle At The Capital City Of Agartha [Part 1]
A rain of death and destruction descended upon the Abyssal Army as Asmodeus expertly controlled the countless fire spears that only targeted their enemies.
Since Poseidon's cannons were too powerful, it couldn't be used to attack because it would hit their allies without a doubt.
Because of this, it simply used its defensive abilities to protect itself, preventing any attacks from landing on its body.
Poseidon could have unleashed a powerful barrage, and probably decimate more than half of the Abyssal Legion. However, since its allied were also fighting alongside it, it simply fired its cannons at places that places where none of its allies would get hit by its attack.
Although many Abyssal Monsters died, many more took their place. Their Army numbered in the millions, so they still put a lot of pressure on the Agarthian Army, who was fighting to protect their homeland.
Eligor and the Abyssal Lords under his command proved to be quite powerful as well.
They instinctively knew that Avernus and the Strigoi, Andras, were powerful, so they fought them in a three versus one battle.
The Demigods under Blackfire's command also fought against the other Demigods.
These Demigods were fighting thousands of meters up in the sky, making sure that their battle wouldn't affect the armies that were fighting on the ground.
Of course, the Demigods could play dirty and target the Agarthian Army, but they didn't do that.
They believed that they were strong enough to overcome the defenders, and they also didn't want to lose a lot of their Lower-Ranking Subordinates who did all the menial work for them.
Even with the awakened Kings and Queens of Agartha, the battle proved to be more difficult than they initially expected.
A few of the Demigods who weren't fighting anyone decided to slip away from the battlefield and directly target the Capital City of Agartha.
These Demigods specialized in stealth, so they were typically able to move without anyone noticing them.
However, there was someone who did, and he moved to take action to hold them back.
Lux expected that there would be some Demigods who would decide to rush ahead instead of sticking with the main army.
But he didn't expect that there would be eight of them.
Currently, all the fighting force of Agartha was trying to hold back the bulk of the Abyssal Army, leaving the defenses of the Capital to one of the Ancient Kings, who was also a Supreme, as well as dozens of Saints, who would serve as his backup.
Lux calculated that the defenders would be able to hold back at least two Demigods, but eight would simply be too much for them.
Because of this, he decided to take down the biggest and fastest threat among the Demigods, which was a Giant Demonic Falcon, whose speed was nearly as fast as lightning.
The Half-Elf turned into a lightning bolt and crashed against the Demigod in the sky. He might be a mere Saint, but he was three times stronger than a regular Saint because he was a Progenitor, the first Necromancer of Heaven.
Eiko, who was perched on top of his head, summoned a miniature version of her Golden Anchor.
Using the power of its Law to harden the moisture in the atmosphere, it made the water droplets in the air become as hard as steel pellets.
If the Falcon wasn't a Demigod, it would have already been shredded to pieces due to how fast it was moving across the sky that was filled with these steel-like-water-droplets.
Fortunately, it did have some effect, slowing the Falcon, whose gaze had locked on to the Half-Elf and Baby Slime who were getting in its way.
Although the Half-Elf was worried about the other Demigods headed for the capital, he knew that he had to stop the Giant Demonic Falcon first, and worry about the rest later.
"Eiko!"
"Pa!"
Eiko jumped off her Papa's head and transformed into her Fairy Princess Form. She then held the Golden Anchor on her hand like a weapon, creating several water tornadoes to hinder their opponent from going forward.
"Deus Gigantia!" Lux raised his hand, and the Giant Skeleton King appeared behind him.
"Wind Tempest!" the Demigod roared, activating its full power and creating a hurricane that threatened to destroy everything around it.
Eiko hid behind the body of the Skeleton King to prevent herself from being blown away.
Lux, on the other hand, melded with the blue crystal on its chest, taking full control of the giant Skeleton King's body.
"Calypso!" Lux called out the Spear of Longinus and pulled his arms back. "Duel [Epic]!"
The Demigod, who had hidden itself inside the Giant Hurricane, found its body frozen in place as the effect of Calypso's Duel Ability took effect.
The Half-Elf had the ability to sense the presence of any living and undead beings in his surroundings, so it was very easy for him to lock onto the Giant Falcon's body despite the fact that the hurricane was blocking his vision.
"Pierce through the Void!" Lux roared as he prepared to throw the Divine Spear in his hands.
"Spear of Longinus!"
The Giant Golden Spear hummed as it was thrown by her Master toward the center of the hurricane, where the Demigod was frozen in place.
The Divine Spear then transformed into a golden light, piercing through the hurricane and hitting its target in the chest, making the Falcon screech in pain, dispelling the hurricane it had created.
Eiko, who had been waiting for an opportunity, shot out like a lightning bolt towards the skewered Demigod and raised her Golden Anchor above her head.
"Eyaaaah!"
Eiko shouted as she swung down her weapon, which increased its size to nearly thirty-meters, smashing on the head of the Demigod and sending it crashing towards the ground.
At the moment of impact a powerful explosion took place, resulting in a dust cloud.
All the bones on the poor Demigod's body had been shattered by the Golden Anchor. Eiko was able to increase its size and weight at will, making it as light as a feather and as heavy as a mountain, however she wanted.
Calypso transformed into her Living Armor Form and dealt the killing blow to the Demigod who had reverted to its Demi-Human form as it breathed its last.
However, before the Demigod could die completely, Blackfire appeared and devoured it.
It preferred half-dead Creatures to devour because they retained their ranks after it absorbed them. Although it also didn't mind devouring a dead Demigod, the resources needed to revive it without degrading its rank was costly.
After getting his target, Blackfire disappeared and returned to the other battlefield, where blood was flowing like rivers.
It was eyeing both the Demigods and the Supremes of Agartha, whom it planned to devour at the moment of their death.
Even the awakened Kings and Queens were also part of the group that it wanted to devour. Some of them might be old and nearly decrepit, but it was only a small matter to return them to their peak after it had remodeled their bodies.
Lux didn't have the luxury to think about these random things as he and Eiko sped towards the Capital City of Agartha, where the sounds of explosions were already taking place.
