Chapter 80 – Observer
As we rushed towards the heart of the battlefield which was located at the Demon Kingdom where Halvard and the others planned to attack, we saw the large craters around the area even though it was still far from it.
Cellux: Looks like the enemies noticed our soldiers coming too early…
Cellux said with a serious expression as Rezald looked anxious as he sat down on the platform he created.
Rezald: I just hope everyone is alright…
Clara then said…
Clara: Melzir is with them right? They will be okay.
Clara smirked as she flew behind Nelus with Kawt behind her with ease… even with Nelus’ extreme speed all of them were keeping up with the help of Nelus’ Spatial Magic. Rezald then said doubtfully.
Rezald: What are you saying? When the first time we met, he seemed the weakest of the rulers of the beings of divinity…
Clara then smirked as she then said.
Clara: He may seem the “weakest” but he is the “sturdiest”. I have fought with him before in this form, he was extremely annoying…
Cellux laughed heartily as he then said with an all knowing tone.
Cellux: Hahahah! I see, how is the Lux Ultimate Barrier at present?
Clara: It has evolve yet again…
Cellux: Hoh? Quite impressive to evolve it again at this time…
Rezald was then confused as he then said.
Rezald: What are you both talking about?
Cellux: You see, the Collad Rulers have what you call Lux Ultimate Barrier, the strongest wide defense spell of the beings of divinity, once in a tens of thousands of years some of them can improve it and they are the only race, or should I say the royalty of their race are the only one’s capable of using it. Though they can only use it three times per week due to its side effects as the spell is not yet quite perfect.
Rezald: What about the time where Riseos and Trigus sneak attacked us…
Cellux: Its weaknest is “preventing” to cast it, didn’t they use a spell to seal them off?
Rezald: I see… but what if…
Cellux: They would do the same now? I doubt it as we are the ones initiating the attack so he had already set it ahead of time so it wouldn’t be a problem.
Rezald then sighed in relief as he then says.
Rezald: That’s good… wait… what is that sound…
As they got closer to the city above the mountain with a flat surface we heard huge explosions near it… it was located near the foot of it. As they got closer they saw what was happening with surprised expressions except for Kawt and Clara as they were only confused at their reaction… Halvard, holding Arkeam was fighting with Riseos. Trigus was trying to destroy the barrier that looks like golden gates surrounding Melzir and the others as Melzir was holding his hands up with a pale face trying to supply mana into it. Inside the barrier were also soldiers who used spells and long range weapons to fight back.
But that wasn’t what surprised them… an array of seemingly endless arrows rained upon the barrier causing explosions every part of it… and the source was… Wedea with a blank face as she moved from platform to platform on the air and firing arrows like in the duel with Nebulus, as for the Xaelos soldiers inside the barrier, they had lost motivation to fight back despite them being the best support inside this barrier which lets attacks go out and prevents them from going in. It seems most of them were in a very difficult situation.
Also, even Cellux was surprised, as it seems Ciall finally showed himself, Nelus once heard from Yeuhl that he was a Great War hero before becoming king, Cellux told me that when Ciall was young they were forced to leave him as Cellux was quite in danger at that time so Cellux didn’t have the luxury to see him grow. As for how Ciall didn’t become a half Divine it was told that Queisa, wife of Cellux, was a descendent of a Valkyrie which are existences that will automatically let the angels become the strongest race of the beings of Divinity and can rival Cellux’ unique power among divines. Valkyrie has extremely pure blood and it cannot mix with any.
Cellux: Brilliant! Hahaha!! Look at how my son fights!
Cellux said with a proud smile while looking at the fully armored Ciall slashing his sword at countless beings of darkness, ending their lives.
Nelus: So this is how Ciall fight…
Nelus heard from the other commanders that he mostly led a battalion by himself, only at this time where they siege the main area that all battalions and divisions come together. Colad soldiers protecting angel mages, Nelus’ students attacking together by leading their divisions, commanders kept on pressuring the opponent with their overbearing offense, even some divines were mixed in… Nelus then saw some familiar ones... Andros and Welg fighting side by side with a grin on their face, Olpa, Rido, Falmi and the others were teaming up against Dotis’ team except for Dotis and Fion whom where nowhere to be seen.
Ciall: Wedea snap out of it!!
Wedea: …
Ciall: Tch…!
It seems Ciall’s actions has attracted Riseos’ attention and told Wedea to attack Ciall.
Cellux: I’m not going to just stand here and do nothing I will fight too!
Cellux said as he heads towards Ciall’s direction.
Nelus: What about you Rezald?
Rezald: I’ll help Melzir Bro Nelus… is it alright?
Nelus: Do what you think is right.
Rezald grinned and nodded understandingly.
Nelus then look at Clara and Kawt.
Clara: Don’t mind us… even I am starting to see that something is quite weird in this war, we don’t mind helping you for now… or at least until the night ends.
Kawt: My life is at your disposal.
Kawt said with a determined gaze as Nelus sighed.
Nelus: Let’s control the situation before it worsens.
Nelus then dove towards the area as the enemy commanders using void artifacts to pressure the commanders from the army of light. Nelus then appeared in between them with two vampires flying by his side… the vampire commanders and soldier then looked baffled at the appearance of their queen with the one called Nelus as they heard one of the commanders say… her aura was threatening with her crimson eyes sweeping over them.
This novel's true home is a different platform. Support the author by finding it there.
???: Queen Clara… why are you…
Clara: Silence!
The vampires who were going to say something shut up as Clara glares at them.
Clara: All vampires! Return to Malius City at once!!
All vampires-in-unison: Y-y-yes, Queen Clara…
All the vampires then fled afraid to offend their queen especially in her domineering vampiric mode in which they all worship.
???: Queen Clara what is the meaning of this…
Said one of the commander in the demon race obviously furious at Clara’s sudden action as Clara then appeared behind him and pierced his neck almost instantly as he falls down unconscious as she didn’t want to kill them while Nelus was watching. Kawt then swept over some of the soldiers protecting them as he took them down. As the commanders thought they had no chance at the queen of the vampires and the number one genius instructor in Nox academy decided to attack Nelus.
Clara: Wrong choice…
Clara said while pitifully gazes at them as she stopped attacking them as she then watched as she no longer have the motivation to attack as they had just provoke a Dragon with just a pack of wolves making Clara quite fearful for their fates… as for what the commanders thought, they thought the reason Clara stopped attacking was because she decided to come back to their side making them quite ecstatic as she is a fighting force worth thousands… but somewhere in their hearts there were some unease that they had felt, like they were exploring a dungeon filled with gold everywhere on the floor with an obvious trap to spring forth. They all suddenly stopped as Nelus’ used Glacial Force as his eyes turned blue for a second as it then disappears… Nelus thought that his ice aptitude was nearing its mastery so he decided to test if he could use the element weapon for this element and succeeded. The area then became extremely cold as the soldiers and commanders that came close shivered unconsciously. The air around Nelus became frigid as it swirls around his arm, solidifying. It then takes on a form of a glove like figure as multiple spike of ice protrude around every part of it like a spiky scale of a dragon’s tail.
Nelus then tries to experiment with the new element weapon and rushed towards one of the commanders with a shield and punches at him. The commander then puts up his shield and tries to block it. As Nelus’ fist made contact with the metalia shield, it freezes instantly and shatters to pieces as Nelus punches his chest as he flew of while pillars of ice protrude on his chest.
Commander: Keep attacking, we will tire him out! He can’t use that element weapon forever… element weapons cost a lot of mana so he will run out eventually so all soldiers around us focus towards him!
All the soldiers then followed what the commander had said… little did they know that Nelus has actually near limitless mana compared to others… the soldier then continues to attack in hopes to tire him out… dozens… hundreds… thousands kept coming towards him as they all were defeated with one attack as they became frozen or partly frozen with no sign of Nelus getting tired… even after hundreds of thousands he still wasn’t tired… they were all looking at him as if he was an abnormal existence as they began to panic.
???: (Who is this monster!?... I know! I’ll ask Queen Clara to help us as she did stopped attacking us and let us through to attack him…) Queen Clara, will you lend us your…
Clara: No!
???: Why not? You are after all…
Clara: You thought I sided with you!? I stopped attacking because I pity you all…
???: You… pity… us?
The commander said with disbelief as he looked at the flying Clara.
Clara: Yes, I pity you… the one you are attacking, even I with this form is no match for him. Even right now he is going easy with all of you.
The commander and the soldiers paled at Clara’s words as even they had heard of her strength during her vampiric mode… if he really is as strong as she says…
Clara: You didn’t even know whom you were attacking… this man here is even stronger than the one called Cellux… the Arclight Saviour!!
Even in the land of darkness the story of Cellux were famous and filled their hearts with dread, especially when they found out that he was attending the war, their only hope was that Cellux’ divinity was almost depleted… his stories about no matter how much beings of darkness he battled by himself no one even managed to put a scratch on him.
Kawt: That is right! Lord Nelus is the king of the divines before Cellux!
All of them froze… even without the help of Nelus’ ice magic… fear was overtaking them… looking at Nelus whose hands were clad in ice… they felt hopeless until…
???: Why are you all afraid!?
Someone said above them, they all looked up and saw no one was there… then a figure appeared with a girl besides him… it was Fion and Dotis…
Dotis: Hmph! It is just one man!
???: But Captain Dotis… he is…
Dotis: Heh! Let me introduce you to a certain someone.
???: Good evening everyone.
Said the man wearing a robe and a mask.
???: I have been watching you for quite a while now… like the time you used a peculiar lightning spell covering yourself and defeated those monsters named Dae that we made and the time at the Xaelos City where you used Temporal Magic…
Nelus: Who are you… this aura…
He then raises his arm and used a spell as the surroundings went dark as I felt the magic signature coming from him… it was like we were transported to another world… a world of emptiness… it felt like a God’s magic…
Tages: I am Tages God of Darkness, you can call me "observer" if you want; may I ask who you are?
