"Are we not going to help them, Your Highness?"
"Let's just watch for now. I want to know if Lux has any other Trump Cards that he is still hiding in his sleeves."
Aur, and the members of the Crystal Palace, observed the battle from on top of a mountain.
They had just arrived at the scene, and the first thing they saw was the ongoing battle between the Defenders of the Yelan Kingdom and the Monster Army.
Aur didn't know if the Monster Army was affiliated with the Dreadnaught-Ranked Monsters that had annihilated each and everyone of them during their first attempt to clear the dungeon.
However, that experience made him understand that even though he was carrying many powerful artifacts, and weapons with him, there was a limit to what a single person could do alone.
In order to achieve his goal, he needed to gain powerful allies. If only Rankers and Saints were allowed to enter the dungeon then Aur wouldn't have this problem.
Unfortunately, this was not possible, so he could only seek help elsewhere.
Right now, the only one who seemed to be brimming with potential was none other than the red-headed teenager, who had forced him to swallow his pride and enter the Sacred Dungeon a second time. fr(e)ewebnov(e)l.com

'What a sly monster,' Lux thought as he looked at the Dreadnaught-Ranked Monster in the distance, who resembled Godzilla, with annoyance. 'Leoric can't advance forward because once he does, the bastard will fire a long range attack, aimed at the people, forcing Leoric to block it.'
The leader of the Monsters was firing its long-ranged attacks consecutively, preventing Leoric from fighting it directly.
Currently, only the Wraith King could successfully block the attacks of the Dreadnaught Monster.
If he failed to block the Monster's attack even once, half of the city would instantly be wiped out. Killing thousands of people at the same time.
The powerful shockwaves had also destroyed several parts of the city walls, allowing the Monsters to enter the city.
Lux and his comrades were fighting a fierce battle on the land and in the sky, dyeing the ground with the color of blood.
General Fahad roared in anger as he and his elite soldiers started to hunt down the Deimos-Ranked Monsters that had entered the city.
These Monsters easily killed the low-ranking defenders, enraging the General and his men.
"Those at the right wall, fall back!" General Fahad ordered as he hacked down a Rank 5 Monster, who had almost bitten off one of his soldier's heads.. "Head to the rear of the city! Bring the injured to the infirmary! Leave this place to us!"
"Y-Yes Sir!" The soldier hastily supported his injured comrade to safety. However, there were many other injured people in the surroundings, who were unable to help themselves.
Not wanting any of his soldiers to die, General Fahad stood his ground, slashing every monster that broke past the destroyed wall.
Even with Lux's army, dealing with the High-Ranking monsters, the enemy's numbers were simply too many.
They were about to reach their limit, and it was only a matter of time before the defensive lines broke completely.
Suddenly, the dead soldiers around him rose to life. A good number of the Zombies carried the injured soldiers, and headed towards the rear of the city, Instead of helping the General fight off the Monsters.
Those that were helped, cried bitterly as their comrades, who had died, took them to safety, so that they could live.
Before the battle started, General Fahad asked his soldiers if they were willing to be revived after they died in the battle.
To his surprise, all the soldiers declared that if they were to perish in battle, they wanted Lux to revive them, so that they could continue fighting.
While some of the revived soldiers carried their comrades to the rear of the city, the rest of them assisted their still-living-counterparts in fighting against the Monsters, and preventing other soldiers from joining them in the afterlife.
Since they were revived as soon as they died, their memories were still intact, and their will to protect their Kingdom burned brightly in their chest, allowing them fight with great vigor and ferocity.
Cai, who was fighting Monsters inside the city, and helping the soldiers retreat, was being protected by her Winged Serpent, Coatl, who flew dozens of meters above her, eliminating the stronger threats that tried to attack the Boar from the sky.
Lux had ordered her to remain in the city, while he joined Leoric to charge behind the enemy lines, bringing six Hecatoncheires with him.
The Half-Elf knew that if he didn't bring down the Dreadnaught-Ranked Monster first, everyone's lives would continue to hang on a very thin line.
All it took was a single mistake, and the people he cared for would all be wiped from the face of the Yelan Kingdom.
Of course, he understood that if any of them died inside the Dungeon, they wouldn't really die, but simply be expelled from it.
Even so, Lux didn't have the "I won't die even if I am killed" mentality, and treated this battle seriously.
Leading the charge was none other than Leoric, and his 12 Wraith Knights who were all of the Deimos Rank.
Behind them, Six Hecatoncheires advanced slowly, grabbing, punching, slapping, and pinning down every monster they came across.
Lux, was riding on his Thunder Warg King, Jed, who was busy unleashing lightning bolts at the monsters in front of him.
Zagan and Lazarus flew beside Lux, guarding him from any sneak attacks from their enemies.
He had left Diablo, Ishtar, Pazuzu, Asmodeus, Orion, Revon, and ALL-MITE, back in the city in order to protect his friends, and keep a lookout for Cai.
Suddenly, a four-meter tall Earth Wolf, who was of the Deimos Rank, sprang out from the ground, with the intention of crushing the Thunder Warg King, and his Master, with his powerful jaws.
This particular wolf had a peculiar ability, similar to Jasper, allowing it to merge with the ground, and travel under it like a fish in the water.
It was the perfect ambusher, and it had locked its sights on Lux, who was now deep inside their battle formation.
Unfortunately for it, Lux was paying close attention to his Soul Book, and had already known that the Wolf was planning to ambush him.
"Flamma! I choose you!" Lux shouted as he summoned the Half-Orc, who had been watching the battle in the projection back in their Guild Headquarters just a few seconds ago.
Immediately, the Deimos-Ranked Half-Orc materialized out of thin air, carrying his War Axe, poised to strike.
"It's about darn time!" Flamma roared as he smashed his Axe downwards.
"Guillotine Burst!"
The War Axe was covered in crimson flames, greatly empowering Flamma's attack, and imbuing it with the power of Transcendent Flames. freew(e)bnovel
A cry of pain spread in the surroundings as the Half-Orc's War Axe smashed into the Earth Wolf's snout, sending it crashing to the ground.
Giving the Wolf no time to recover, and hide underneath the Earth, the Half-Orc summoned two fire snakes, which immediately coiled themselves around their target, rendering it unable to move.
Now that his prey was immobilized, the Half-Orc started to hack the monster's body senseless, making spilling blood with every strike.
"Go!" Flamma shouted as he kept on hammering the Deimos-Ranked Monster, who couldn't break free from the fire snakes that bound him in place. "I'll catch up to you later!"
Lux nodded and left four of his Hecatoncheires behind to protect Flamma, who was now surrounded by monsters in all directions.
However, the Half-Orc wasn't the least bit scared of his current situation, and even had a fearless look on his face as he one-sidedly hacked the Earth Wolf apart, who had lost its ability to resist.

Heaven's Gate Headquarters in the Outer Reaches…
"..." the Dragon King looked at Flamma in the projection before shifting his gaze to the place where the Half-Orc had been sitting just a moment ago.
He didn't know how Lux did it, but he was completely taken by surprise when the Half-Orc instantly disappeared from where he was, and reappeared where the Half-Elf was currently at.
As a Supreme, he was capable of traveling great distances in an instant if he wished for it. But, he had never seen something like this in the past which greatly intrigued him.
"How did he do it?" the Dragon King asked the old Half-Ling, who was busy cracking peanuts with his fingers.
"Trade Secret," Gaap replied before eating the peanut in his hands. "But, if you give me a Demigod Artifact, I'll tell you."
The Dragon King snorted and ignored the old Half-Ling's unreasonable demand.
The grade above Legendary Equipment was Demigod.
It was only a grade lower than Divine Equipment, and was considered to be one of the best items in existence.
They weren't cabbages that the Dragon King could give away just out of curiosity, so he just focused his attention back to the Half-Elf, whom Keoza had chosen to receive his Dragon Token.
He wasn't aware of the abilities of a Mythical Guild because this was the first time one had appeared in the world, so he thought that Lux had just learned a powerful summoning ability, which he hadn't seen before.
Gaap, who gave the Dragon King a side-long glance, chuckled internally.
Deep inside, he was just as surprised as the Supreme Being beside him.
'Master, I didn't expect your prediction to come true,' Gaap thought as he remembered his beautiful Master, who had the power to see the future. 'I found myself one hell of a Disciple.'
Gaap didn't know if Fate played a role in giving him the chance to meet the Half-Elf in the kingdom of Zangrila. However, one thing was clear.
Now that he was the Half-Elf's Master, he would do his best to ensure that the red-headed teenager wouldn't meet the same fate as his beautiful Master.
His Master had predicted that he would meet someone in the Kingdom of Zangrila, who would open the doors of Heaven and fight the monsters that the world of Elysium fears the most.
