Chapter 938 Misfortune Smiles Upon You [Part 4]
Screams and curses reverberated on top of the City Walls as the Exiles started to run in different directions in order to escape the Monsters that could easily destroy the wall that protected their city.
They could have dealt with the Dreadnaught Ranked Golden-Eyed Nagas, but with the original monster mixed in the group, they didn't dare to gamble with their lives.
Only Asmodeus, Ishtar, Lazarus, Morpheus, and the other Undead Monsters remained, not stopping their attacks against the incoming Monsters, buying time for the people to escape.
The Doomsday Gargoyles even assisted dozens of people who weren't fast enough, like the Old Hag, to escape the City Walls by flying them to safety.
Avernus roared in the sky and unleashed a Dragon Breath from the sky, turning the zone outside of the city into a hellish environment, making the Dreadnaught-Ranked Nagas scream in pain.
The Original Monster was able to dodge the Dracolich's attack with ease. With one powerful punch, it easily destroyed the City Wall, sending big chunks of rock flying in every direction.
It then clenched its fist, letting its razor-sharp nails dig into its palm before spraying the blood high up in the air, creating dozens of Dreadnaught-Ranked Nagas that looked exactly like it.
"Damn bastard is cheating!" Cethus cursed. "No wonder it was imprisoned in the Inner Sanctum. It's a one-man army!"
"That Black Ogre is also equally dangerous," Gerhart commented. "Strong defenses and equally strong physical strength. It's really difficult to fight against it."
Lilian didn't say anything and simply observed the two Monsters that had breached the city walls with a smile on her face.
She had no obligation to help the Humans overcome this disaster. The Wicked Queen Slime was more than happy to sit in the peanut gallery and watch as the world burned.
The Black Ogre and the Golden-Eyed Naga gave Lilian a side-long glance but made no attempt to head in her direction.
Both of them had sensed that she was also a Calamity-Ranked Monster, so they simply ignored her and focused on the Humans, who were now desperately trying to find a safe place from their onslaught.
Louis knew that the destruction of the city was inevitable, so he gathered all the Saints to make a last stand to protect the Castle.
With a battle of this scale, it was impossible to not have any casualties.
Dozens of Exiles had already died, and those who had survived were doing their best to run or fly as far away from the monsters as they could.
Aurora felt a pain in her heart after seeing the death and destruction that she had caused.
After fighting against her Heart Demon, she understood that this wouldn't be the last time that this would happen.
It was possible that wherever Lux took her, this scene would follow her as well.
Even so, she was firm on the decision that she would not run away and blame herself for every misfortune that happened around her.
"Can any of you take me close to the monsters?" Aurora asked. "I have a plan."
Cethus immediately shook his head before patting Gerhart's shoulder. "Sorry, but I don't plan on dying. How about you ask this Half-Elf instead? He likes to do dangerous things."
Gerhart, who had been pushed into the limelight, also shook his head.
"It is too dangerous, and I'm afraid that even if I take you there, both of us will just die," Gerhart stated. "I'm sorry, but I can't accompany you."
Left with no choice, Aurora called out to Lux, who was flying in the sky with his Dracolich.
"Lux, please help me get close to those two monsters!" Aurora shouted. "Trust me!"
The Half-Elf glanced in her direction before reluctantly nodding his head. He knew that Aurora was feeling guilty, but that wasn't why he agreed to her request.
Although he was worried about her, there was a hint of certainty in her voice when she said that she had a plan.
"Blackfire, take her near the monsters and protect her to the best of your ability," Lux ordered. "Make sure to keep her safe."
The Black Coffin appeared beside Lux and nodded its head. It then flew towards Aurora
The Half-Elf, and the Dracolich started attacking the Dreadnaught-Ranked Golden-Eyed Nagas.
Unlike the Exiles, Lux could easily tell which one was the real deal. However, even if he knew, he alone wasn't enough to deal with it.
Since that was the case, he focused on annihilating its minions, who were busy killing the exiles without a shred of mercy.
While this was happening, Aurora jumped on top of the Black Coffin and asked it to fly near the Black Ogre.
Blackfire obeyed her words and flew as low to the ground as possible, staying out of the Monsters' line of sight.
A few minutes later, the Black Coffin rose from the destroyed streets, dodging the black substance that swirled around the body of the Black Ogre, which automatically attacked anything that was close to it.
As Blackfire closed the distance, Aurora undid the necklace that hung around her neck and eyed the Black Ogre with a determined expression on her face.
When she deemed that she was close enough, she raised her right hand and pointed at the monster in front of her.
"Chains of Misfortune!"
Countless black chains erupted from her finger and bound the Black Ogre for a few seconds before merging with its body.
Aurora's aura of misfortune had the ability to infect anyone within a certain range around her and curse them with bad luck.
With that said, she could also unleash a stronger version of this curse at a single target, making them incredibly prone to bad luck.
This skill was called the Chains of Misfortune, and it was Aurora's signature skill that would permanently bring the same level of bad luck she possessed to Monsters, Saints, and even Supremes.
In short, anyone hit with this ability would be cursed with misfortune until the day they died!
Blackfire then flew past the Black Ogre and headed in the direction of the Original Golden-Eyed Naga, as per Aurora's orders.
"Chains of Misfortune!" Aurora shouted, and countless chains bound the Calamity-Ranked Monster before merging with its body.
The Golden-Eyed Naga didn't know what the young lady riding the Black Coffin did to it. However, it didn't change the fact that the chains that bound it for a brief moment made it extremely angry.
As a Monster that had been imprisoned inside the Inner Sanctum for hundreds of years, it was triggered by anything that attempted to restrict its freedom.
The same could be said for the Black Ogre, whose club was now swinging towards the Black Coffin with the intention of swatting it like a fly.
Suddenly, the Black Ogre tripped and its club smashed the shoulder of the Golden-Eyed Naga, whose razor-sharp claws were about to slice Aurora to shreds.
However, after getting hit by the Black Ogre, its attack missed its target and hit one of the arms of the Blood Ogre, drawing blood.
Blackfire rose towards the sky as Aurora once again put the necklace around her neck.
There were too many people running around the city, so it wasn't safe for her to wander around.
Lux and his comrades finally figured out what Aurora's plan was. Although it was a very dangerous thing to do, they couldn't help but admire the beautiful girl, who had risked her life to curse the two monsters with bad luck that was as strong as hers.
King Louis and the other Saints who recognized the sudden shift in the battlefield, didn't miss this opportunity and attacked the two Monsters with great intensity.
Avernus also deemed that the time was right to open the gates of hell. The Dracolich hovered in the sky and roared loudly.
Right under it, a blazing gate appeared and opened wide.
Numerous denizens from Hell surged out like a raging tide as they answered Avernus' call.
This was the first time that the Dracolich had used its skill, Hell Bringer.
Just as the name implied, the Monsters that came from Hell razed the city, covering it in hellish flames that burned brightly.
