Chapter 408 The god of war descends
The heroes did what they could to defend but the fire was not only able to burn their shield but it was also able to nullify any magic. The archangels came to their rescue but it was too late and it was of no use. The fire still damaged the archangels and the heat was enough to suffocate the heroes.
Ignius did not relent and poured out all of his all into that fire breath just to make sure that they would die. He did not care if he perished by exhausting all of his power as long as he could take them down. While he was giving it all, a large sword came from the sky and stabbed through his back.
The large sword penetrated his scales and went through his body. It successfully stabbed its heart. Ignius fell down from the sky with a loud 'thud' and it shook the entire structure where they were in. Despite the dragon's defeat, he was still glad that those damn heroes were finally dead and those archangels suffered damage.
Same as the others, the dragon's body disappeared and became a black smoke. After that Cygnus appeared from the darkness and coolly walked towards the archangels that were still standing despite the damage that the dragon inflicted on them. They started to glow a gold light and heal but Cygnus did not give them the chance to recover.
He waved his hand and injected the two of them with black mana that wreaked havoc inside their bodies. Both archangels exploded on the spot but in place of them another archangel appeared. It was the owner of the sword that stabbed the black dragon.
The archangel was sent by the god of war. It was obvious by its gold-plated armor and the golden sword in its hands. Cygnus grinned when he saw that the god of war finally made a move. This was the moment he was waiting for. He floated towards the archangel and stared at its dead eyes.
From his right hand, a swirl of black mana appeared followed by the appearance of a black sword. The sword was covered in black mana and as he held the hilt, the black mana disappeared. He then swung the sword and a line of black mana appeared.
This line went directly towards the archangel. It created a black line on the archangel's body but this did not deter the entity from attacking him. It raised its sword and attacked Cygnus but the man easily blocked the attack.
The sound of their swords colliding with each other echoed in the whole of the capital and caused destruction around them. Their surroundings were cut because of the scattered force from the collision. The palace that was half standing was now completely destroyed.
They continued to fight using their swords and each slash they created caused deep gashes on the land of Lunaira. After a few more exchanges, it was already clear who the winner was. The archangel was slowly being chipped away every time their swords met and, in the end, its body was full of black mana.
The god of war who was watching what was happening had his fists clenched and his jaws locked. Seeing that his archangel was defeated, he could not accept it. He stood up from where he was seated and exited the room. He ran into Kreyat and gave him a bow.
"What are you going to do?" Kreyat asked the hot-tempered god. He had an idea of what he was planning but he won't stop him this time.
"I'm going to destroy that demon." Freyon declared. He couldn't stand it any longer. If he couldn't destroy that demon now, he won't be able to rest.
"Then, I will not stop you. The demon behind that man will surely show himself once we defeat that cursed man." Kreyat reached out and patted the man's shoulders. "We will be backing you."
"No need. I will make sure to kill him with my own hands." Freyon shook his head. He then gave the god of creation one last nod before he turned around and left. Kreyat looked at the god of war's back in silence before he disappeared.
Just as the archangel exploded with too much black mana within its body, the god of war descended. The brilliant light of his descent filled the entirety of the capital and if there were any living thing in that place, they would surely be blinded by the light that accompanied the god.
Cygnus waited for the light to disappear before he could finally see who it was that interrupted his fun. The man that appeared had red fiery hair and golden eyes that indicated who he was. His golden armor was shining together with the golden sword in his hand.
"Ah, you finally came down," Cygnus looked at the man. With the glare and the bloodlust coming from the man, he already knew who it was.
"I came to defeat and kill you." Freyon answered and without any more words from him, he disappeared and appeared before Cygnus.
Cygnus grinned and blocked the golden sword that was about to slice him in half. He fended against the god of war with ease. He took one look at the man and it made him laugh. The way the man was glaring at him was indeed funny.
The god of war really wanted to kill Cygnus and he would not stop until he achieved his goal. The sword on the god's hand suddenly became even more brilliant and hot at the same time. Cygnus's black sword couldn't withstand the power so he retreated and took a couple of steps back.
Cygnus looked at his sword and saw that there was already a crack on it. He narrowed his eyes but this did not cause him any displeasure, instead he looked at his opponent with a grin. "So, this is what true divine power from a god looks like."
Freyon did not respond. He once again vanished and brandished his sword against Cygnus. The black mana that was surrounding Cygnus was getting thinner and thinner. The black sword in his hand was having cracks here and there.
Despite all of this, he still looked calm. He was still fighting the god of war. Freyon charged his sword even more and made a diagonal slash that created a golden line towards Cygnus. The man raised his black sword to block the attack.
He was pushed back and the force of the attack managed to break his black sword but he couldn't stop the momentum of the golden line. The attack finally landed on his body before it dissipated. A long and deep gush appeared on the Cygnus's body and it caused him to fall on his knees. He even coughed out blood as he looked at the god of war who had a smile on his face.
"You gods are indeed powerful. I managed to destroy many of your worlds to weaken you but you are still powerful. How terrifying." Cygnus managed to say despite his grave condition. He was turning pale as more blood gushed out from his wound.
"A mere human like you who made a contract with a demon is just an ant in my eyes. No matter how powerful you feel, there will still be beings more powerful than you. Don't get cocky just because you managed to get our attention." Freyon looked at the kneeling man with contempt.
"Yes," Cygnus laughed, "You gods are really proud. Even if those worlds disappear and those people die, you do not care because you can simply create another world and another set of people or creatures to worship you."
The god of war shrugged his words. "No matter what you think right now, you can keep it to yourself because you are going to die now."
Cygnus laughed once again. "Don't be so sure." His body suddenly disappeared and turned into black smoke that obscured the vision of the god
