Chapter 981 The Beginning Of The End [Part 9]
Hereswith, who was fighting against the Founder and the Sovereign of the Divine Army, brandished her Death Scythe and blocked both of their attacks.
The two were dead-set on taking her life, but due to her current Rank, they were having a hard time landing a blow on her body.
In fact, the ones that were receiving injuries were none other than them, despite Hereswith looking like a delicate girl that couldn't even harm an ant.
However, had they known how vulgar her mouth was and how deadly she was in close combat, they would have thought twice when they were trying to court this extremely beautiful Elf.
Hundreds of meters behind Hereswith's back, a middle-aged man approached her slowly.
He was the Supreme that had turned invisible in order to join the battle and launch a sneak attack on her from behind.
This middle-aged man had been one of Hereswith's Suitors, but the Elf had rejected him, even trampling on his pride and dignity as a man by calling him a One-Pump-Chump.
This nickname spread among the Circles of Supremes, making him a laughingstock.
Back then, he felt quite regretful that he wasn't the one who landed the killing blow on the foul-mouthed Elf's body. Now that an opportunity had presented itself, he would make sure he put her in her place.
Although his steps didn't make any sound, or indentation on the ground, he still made sure to time his steps every time the two Supremes attacked her, masking any kind of trace that still might be left behind.
When he was only a hundred meters away from Hereswith, the middle-aged man took a step forward and instantly teleported behind Herswith.
His silver dagger moved with deadly precision as he aimed at the beauty's back, with the intention of piercing her heart from behind.
It was at that moment when a loud roar reverberated in the battlefield.
"Get your filthy hands off my daughter!" the Elven King smashed his fist into the invisible man's face, sending the latter flying.
The Elf King was so enraged that someone had actually dared to sneak attack his daughter from behind.
At first, he didn't plan to do anything because he could tell that Hereswith had the situation under control.
But, when the middle-aged man moved, the Elf King no longer hesitated and made his move.
He gave his daughter a side-long glance before charging at the man with the intention to kill. There was no way he would stand idly and watch his daughter die a second time.
The Elf King didn't care if he had to make the entire world his enemy. If someone really planned to kill Hereswith under his watch, he would not hesitate to kill them and wage war on the organization backing them.
Hereswith didn't even bother to look at her father, but an extremely sweet smile was plastered on her face.
Truth be told, although the middle-aged man was invisible. Hereswith could see him just fine. As a Necromancer, she was very sensitive to the presence of the Living and the Dead.
Even if the Supreme masked his actions, his movements were as clear as day to her. The only reason why she didn't make a move was due to the fact that she also wanted to know if her father would simply be an observer in this battle, or if he'd get involved.
It had been many years since she had last seen him, and she wondered if he still cared for her as his daughter.
Seeing his actions, and hearing how angry he was for her sake, the smile on Hereswith's face widened.
'It looks like I still have a family waiting for me in Espoir Frieden,' Hereswith thought.
A second later, her movements became quicker, overpowering the two Supremes that she was fighting.
After seeing the middle-aged man and the Elven King fighting in the distance, the other Supremes started to move.
The Divine Army of Light had allied themselves with several factions, including powerful kingdoms that had Supremes guarding their Domain.
The only reason why they didn't help the Divine Army at the very beginning was due to the fact that they felt that it was beneath them to bully the Half-Elf and the Half-Ling, who were merely a High-Ranker and an Apostle.
But now, things were different. Hereswith was a Demigod after refining the body of the Fallen Seraphim, making her stronger than Supremes.
Antero was a Peak-Demigod Monster, which many considered to be Immortal. Although the Golem was powerful, it was not as if he was invincible.
People feared the Golem of Destruction due to his immortality. No matter how many of them tried to kill him, he would just reform and return the favor he got from those that had managed to destroy his body.
Then, there was the Skeleton Queen.
Hereswith's Summon was also at the peak of the Demigod Rank. After observing her battle against the Beast King and the Lizard King, the other Supremes found out that the Skeleton Queen had a similar ability to Antero.
She could also reflect powerful attacks on her enemies, making her a very dangerous opponent.
Over a Dozen Supremes moved to join the battle, but they didn't fight against Lux, Gaap, and Hereswith.
They all fought against themselves.
Some of these Supremes were the hidden Allies of the DIvine Armies, and those who fought against them were the Supremes that were indebted to Hereswith.
Although the beautiful elf was foul-mouthed and unruly, it didn't change the fact that she traveled the lands of Elysium in order to help people and those that were in need.
This was also why she was well loved, and many wanted to make her their lover. Unfortunately, Hereswith wasn't someone that was easily moved by a person's strength, standing, or background.
Those who failed to make her their women felt that if they couldn't have her, then no one else could be her lover.
This mentality made them want to kill Hereswith, but they refrained from doing so because they knew Hereswith's background.
Only the Divine Army didn't care about this, and went ahead with ending her life many years ago.
"Faustina, take care of everyone here," the Dragon King stated. "I'm going as well."
Without even waiting for Faustina's reply, the Dragon King joined the chaotic battlefield, attacking the Supremes who were affiliated with the Divine Army.
He owed Hereswith a favor, and now was the perfect time to return it. Soon, the spectators were forced to distance themselves from the battlefield again due to how utterly dangerous it was becoming.
Dozens of Supremes duking it out with each other wasn't something you got to see everyday. But, no one dared to come close because if they did, they would just die a needless death due to their curiosity.
In the midst of this chaotic battlefield, Lux was running away as fast as he could.
The reason? Four Supremes were hounding him, and they were not an enemy that a High-Ranker like him could deal with easily.
Asmodeus had told him that the teenagers, who had temporarily gained the power of Supremes, wouldn't last long.
As long as the Half-Elf was able to survive for ten minutes, his pursuers would implode after reaching their limit.
Ten minutes might be a short span of time, but for the Half-Elf, every second made him feel as if he was one step closer to death.
