MMORPG: Rebirth as an Alchemist

823  Clash at the Gates of Heaven           Before anyone could react, the creature spoke, its voice echoing with a resonance that seemed to reverberate throughout the heavens.

"Welcome, travelers, to the gates of Heaven," it intoned, its words filled with a sense of solemnity and reverence.

Ren and the others exchanged uneasy glances, unsure of how to respond to the creature's greeting. They had heard tales of angels and divine beings, but to encounter one giant eye was new.

As they stood before the creature, they couldn't help but feel a sense of awe and trepidation. They were on the threshold of a realm shrouded in mystery and wonder, a place where mortal beings dared not tread.

"Are you the guardian of this place?" Desira asked, crossing her arms and sizing the angel up and down.

The Guardian of Heaven's Gate nodded solemnly. "Indeed, I am the guardian of this sacred realm."

"And I suppose you wouldn't allow us entry into the Heavens?" Malifira inquired, her voice laced with amusement.

The Guardian's single eye narrowed, its gaze falling upon Azazel and his warlords with suspicion. "That's correct. Heaven is not a place for mortals, especially those of demon and devil descent."

Despite the intricate carvings and ornate armor adorning the Guardian's single eyeball and the majestic wings adorning its back, Ren couldn't help but shiver involuntarily at the sight of it. There was something inherently intimidating and scary about the celestial being, a primal fear that seemed to grip his very soul.

But with a reassuring tap from Malifira's hand on his shoulder, Ren felt a wave of calm wash over him, dispelling the [Fear] that had momentarily taken hold.

The battlefield had been leveled in an instant, they have the numbers, but it would take a while before they could defeat the Giant Eye who had massive HP. Encountering a being with such massive HP was a first for Ren, but upon closer inspection, he noticed that its other stats weren't as impressive. Nevertheless, despite the seemingly insurmountable odds, Ren and his companions stood firm, refusing to yield to the Guardian's intimidating presence. They were resolute in their desire to rescue Lorelai, no matter the obstacles that lay in their path.

As the Guardian loomed overhead, its gaze filled with scorn and disdain, Ren and the others prepared themselves for the fight of their lives. Despite the debilitating effects of the Guardian's domain weakening them, Ren and his companions remained undeterred, launching into battle without fear.

"Lord Azazel, stay here," Desira commanded, her tone firm as she prepared to launch an attack.

"Huh?" Azazel protested, reluctant to remain on the sidelines. "I can help too."

"You're weakened at the moment. You'll only get in the way," Iraelyn interjected, transforming into her dragon form to intercept the Guardian's attack.

Azazel scowled at the dismissal. "Is that how you treat your Lord?"

But nobody paid him any mind as the battle with the Guardian commenced.

The battle with the Guardian was fierce and intense, with each side unleashing their most powerful attacks in an effort to emerge victorious. Ren and Evie fought side by side with the warlords, their movements synchronized as they faced off against the Guardian. Meanwhile, Desira and the others reveled in the exhilaration of battle, their eyes gleaming with excitement as they clashed with such a formidable opponent.

It had been years since they had faced an entity of such immense power, and the exhilarating thrill of battle surged through their veins once more.

Despite the Guardian's immense HP, Ren and the others pressed on and fought hard to reduce it. Desira launched devastating spells, while Elena unleashed swift and precise strikes with her bows. Iraelyn, in her dragon form, soared through the air, delivering powerful blows to the Guardian's defenses. Meanwhile, Ren, Evie and Vivi channeled their magical energy, supporting their group with, magical attacks, buffs and healing spells.
