Chapter 883 A Taste Of Their Own Medicine
Ampelos panted for breath as he looked at the gigantic foot that had stomped the place where he had been standing not long ago.
At the very last second, before the foot could descend on his body, he managed to use his skill that allowed him to instantly dash a hundred meters away from his original location, which was similar to a teleportation ability.
Seeing that his target managed to evade his attack, the Skeleton King once again raised his foot and stomped for the second time.
Ampelos didn't stand idly by and quickly distanced himself from the Behemoth, whose rank was lower than him by one stage.
Deus Gigantia's Basic Form was only that of a Dreadnaught-Ranked World Boss.
Ampelos was much stronger because he was a Peak, Empyrean-Ranked Alpha Monster. Even so, he didn't dare to allow himself to get hit by the Skeleton King's attacks because his bestial senses were telling him that one direct hit might give him serious injuries.
The reason why the Leader of the Satyrs was feeling this way was due to Lux's skill, Divine Abyssal Touch [EX].
Before its upgrade, his Abyssal Touch ability not only directly attacked a creature's soul, but it also dealt 200% Pure Damage against Abyssal Creatures.
Now that it had evolved into the Divine Abyssal Touch [EX], it was now imbued with Divine Energy, which was another one of the weaknesses of Abyssal Creatures.
This skill now deals 400% increased damage against Abyssal Creatures and had the same "Pure Damage" effect that it had before the skill was upgraded.
Simply put, even if Ampelos was a Rank Higher than Deus Gigantia, a single attack from the Skeleton King would deal great damage to him. However, what he didn't know was that the Giant Monster in front of him was not the only one who had this ability.
Lux's Undead Army, as well as the members of his Covenant, also had this ability!
But that was not all. Due to the Half-Elf's passive skill, Death God Aura, all of his Undead were capable of dealing massive damage to Abyssal Creatures that were equal in rank or higher by one stage.
"Come!" Lux, whose anger would not be sated until the Leader of the Satyrs was beaten half dead, raised his right hand and summoned his clones, who summoned his Undead Army in full force.
The Doom Knight Gangbangers, Nighstalkers, Jade Golems, Lich Revenants, Doomsday Gargoyles, and Fortress Defenders all surged forth like a tide and charged towards the Leader of the Satyr with a vengeance.
At that moment, the sound of hooves running across the forest reached Lux's ears.
"Boss! Are you alright?!" one of the Dreadnaught-Ranked Satyrs asked as soon as they arrived at the scene.
"We saw the giant skeleton from afar and knew that our Lair was being attacked," another Satyr shouted in indignation. "Who has the guts to attack the mighty Satyrs of the 13th Layer of the Abyss?!"
All the Satyrs, who had just arrived at the scene, also shouted in anger. The Lair was their home, and anyone who dared to attack it was going to be exterminated no matter what.
However, when they saw the thousands of Doom Knight Gangbangers that were running in their direction, they instinctively felt as if their buttholes were in danger of being violated.
This was a feeling that the Satyrs had never felt before in their lives, and because of this, they did what any sensible Satyr would do in that situation.
They ran!
"Sorry Boss, nature calls," said one of the Dreadnaught-Ranked Satyrs, who had come earlier, intending to help fight whatever attacked their Lair, before running away in full force. "This one is going to be a big one, so I don't think I'll return soon."
"Um, I forgot I have a prior appointment with the Corrupted Dryad on the 14th Layer," another Satyr stated. "I'll be back in a few days."
All the Satyrs gave various excuses to Ampelos before running away full throttle. However, just as they thought that they were about to get away, a barrier surrounded the entire Dark Forest, trapping all of them inside it.
High above the peak of her castle, the Succubus Queen giggled because she had not seen something so amusing in the past decade of her life in the Abyss.
Since she wanted to be entertained, she made sure that none of the Satyrs could escape the Dark Forest, forcing them to fight Lux and his summons with everything they had.
Lux and Gaap frowned after sensing the barrier that had surrounded the forest. This was very different from the Barrier of the Satyrs which they had broken so easily.
"Antero, spit them out, but don't show yourself," Gaap ordered.
A moment later, a red portal materialized above his head.
From inside that portal, two beams of light emerged and landed a few meters away from Gaap.
Lux's eyes widened in shock once he saw who they were. He never expected to see the Wicked Queen Slime in the Abyss.
"Aunt!" Eiko shouted as soon as she saw Lilian, making the beautiful woman smile at her.
"We meet again, Eiko," Lilian said as she walked towards the baby slime and picked her up from Lux's head. "Why did you leave without saying goodbye? I was very sad, you know?"
"Sorry, Aunt," Eiko replied. "Have to save Mama."
"Don't worry. Now that I'm here, everything is going to be fine," Lilian coaxed the Baby Slime as if she were her own baby.
Piccoro, who had also been spat out by Antero, scanned his surroundings with a serious look on his face.
He sensed that there was a creature that was stronger than him, rivaling that of a Supreme. Because of this, he walked towards Lux and handed him something that had been passed to him by their Steward, Lady Augustina.
"Take this, boy," Piccoro said as he handed the Dragon Token to the red-headed teenager. "Lady Augustina had a premonition that you might need this when you entered the Abyss."
Lux didn't stand on ceremony and accepted the Dragon Token with gratitude.
With Keoza by his side, he now possessed another Trump Card that would help him fight an opponent that was leagues above his current Rank.
Lilian also sensed the presence of someone stronger than her, but she wasn't too worried.
When she fought using her full powers, her rank would jump to the peak of the Calamity Rank. Even against a Demigod, she was confident that she would be able to survive, even if they were to fire her their strongest attack.
Also, she had left bits and pieces of herself in secret places in Agartha, that she could use to revive herself in case she died in battle.
Although it might take her a year or two to return to her full strength, for Calamity-Ranked Monsters like her, a few years was no different from taking a nap.
Ampelos and his gang of Satyrs, who were now cornered by Lux's Undead Legion, no longer had any choice but to fight.
They were stronger than Lux's summoned Creatures and were confident that they would be able to overwhelm quantity with their quality.
"Brothers, follow me!" Ampelos shouted. "Charge!"
"""Charge!"""
Hundreds of Satyrs all took out their weapons and clashed against Lux's Undead Legion.
It didn't take long before shouts of surprise, pain, and indignation, spread across the battlefield.
Although the majority of the Doom Knight Gangbangers were instantly shattered after the clash against the stronger monsters, some of them succeeded in sticking their long, hard swords into their designated targets, giving the Satyrs a taste of their own medicine.
