Chapter 1642 Human Army Versus Parasite
Adrian watched as the battle unfolded before him as the human army with increased morale took on the World Eater Parasite. Adrian actually thought that he could see if the World Eater Parasite does indeed possess a tough exterior body as stated. He was not able to verify such a thing earlier because the first one already melted inside of Dodu’s many stomachs.
“Let us see if it really is impervious to any attacks. I want to see what they can do when I already told them that I would deal with the World Eater Parasite.” Adrian stated as he just hung back while also holding back Dodu who sees the World Eater Parasite as its delicious meal.
The human army was healed back to full by the priests of the Church of Light under the command of Pristina. She knew that she must defeat this monster herself as the core of the Behemoth is on the line. She already scanned the destroyed heart earlier and no brilliant stone came out of it.
The human soldiers picked up the pieces of the Heart of the Behemoth that was left as they still needed that since they believe that it is key to extended human life. Pristina, on the other hand, is more focused on killing the World Eater Parasite as it might have the core of the Behemoth still undigested. The human army did not know that this is what she really thinks as they thought that she was just being selfless to not let a horrible monster on the loose.
“Mages! Fire!” One of the generals shouted as the mages released the fire balls that they have conjured up onto the World Eater Parasite.
The World Eater Parasite did not even evade as if the fire could not hurt its body. The fire covered the body of the World Eater Parasite, but it did not look like it was getting hurt. The World Eater Parasite even looked refreshed as it got blasted by fire balls since it still had the blood of the Behemoth covering it from earlier.
“Archers! Fire!” One of the generals commanded as the flame barrage did not work out in their favor.
The archers immediately released thousand of arrows that is rigged with a reinforced steel tip that could penetrate the hide of a Behemoth with enough strength and continuous force. Thousands of arrows rained upon the World Eater Parasite, but the monster did not move from its spot or even thought to evade the incoming attacks.
The arrows all hit the World Eater Parasite but all of them just bounced off its skin as if there is nothing that comes close to it from getting a wound. All the arrows just fell down like limp sticks on the ground. All the people immediately saw this and thought that this monster was even more impervious to attacks compared to the Behemoth.
Pristina saw this and also realized that the World Eater Parasite is not a being that can be hurt easily. She already knew that this monster was not normal since it is being monitored by the demons. Demons do not think of other beings from this universe as a threat because they view extradimensional beings as threats.
The angels know of this which is why they are not releasing all of their strength towards the demons despite it being one of their missions. The angels would only start attacking the demons once the seven angelic leaders become powerful enough to protect the world from other beings. It also helps that the angels are not being targeted by the demons as well even if they broke through the seal.
“If normal mana cannot penetrate it then I shall use divine energy.” Pristina thought as she immediately casted a spell.
“Angel of Light’s Arrow!” Pristina shouted as she created a silhouette of herself as an angel above her with only one pair of wings.
The Angel of Light’s Arrow created an angel made of light and divine energy that shoots an arrow towards its target. She made sure to target the World Eater Parasite as she believed that a perfect hit might be able to kill it. Pristina released tremendous mana and a bit of divine energy and fired it towards the World Eater Parasite.
The World Eater Parasite looked like it noticed the mass of divine energy that was hurled towards it and is about to dodge. Seeing this, the paladins of the Church of Light immediately pinned the World Eater Parasite in position. The paladins of the Church of Light might not be able to damage the World Eater Parasite, but they could surely pin it down with their enhanced weights.
The World Eater Parasite could not move because the paladins and the mages made sure that it will stay in place one way or another. All the people here banked on the chance that the Pope of the Church of Light could damage this monster. If she could not deal with this monster, then no one in their army can deal with this monster.
The arrow made of light and divine energy struck the World Eater Parasite and it uttered a squeal. The World Eater Parasite did indeed get hurt by the attack as a wound could be seen on where the arrow of light and divine energy hit it. The arrow of light and divine energy soon faded as it no longer sustained its form from losing mana and divine energy.
“It got hurt!” The cheers of the soldiers could be heard as all of them noticed that the World Eater Parasite did indeed get damaged.
“They are getting happy about damaging the World Eater Parasite when its health was only reduced by 2%. If she can fire that skill forty-nine times, then they may be able to kill it, but I doubt that she could use that continuously. Thanks to her though, I learned that divine energy could damage the World Eater Parasite which is great news.” Adrian stated.
Adrian knew that Pristina could not replicate that skill forty-nine times as she does not have a large amount of divine energy. She has a fixed amount of divine energy since angels cannot become gods as decreed by the Goddess of Light Luminaria unless she expressed so. The divine energy that she used was mostly what she has which is not a lot.
“I can only fire off that skill five more times and you are saying that it barely made a dent.” Pristina thought to herself as she could identify that the World Eater Parasite was not even damaged greatly.
Pristina looked at Adrian and saw that he was not moving at all as he really was just observing as he told them. The human army that she brought could not even damage the World Eater Parasite as its hide was tough as a mythical tier armor that is enhanced to the fullest. Adrian saw that Pristina was looking at him which is why he waved like a sassy man which made it look like he was mocking her.
“After I am done with this monster, I will also be killing you today!” Pristina thought but the cries of the human army soon filled the area as they were getting bashed by the World Eater Parasite.
The World Eater Parasite did not even attack the people around it directly as it was just moving about to look for a new host. It could not find a host big enough in the vicinity which is why it was circling about but the human army thought that it was getting aggressive. Adrian wanted to burst out laughing but controlled himself since they might actually turn that bloodthirst towards him.
“Will you expose yourself? Or will you ask for my help?” Adrian muttered as he could see the struggling people.
“Are you not going to help us?” One of the players suddenly called out to Adrian.
“Why would I?” Adrian asked back.
“Demons help people against things like that! I know that this is not a monster of this world as I only did like a hundred damage to it.” The player retorted. .
“I would have gladly help. Scratch that! I already offered my help but your very gracious commander in charge did not want my help. Which is why I will not help all of you unless she agrees that I must help all of you. I might become the target if I interfere without her permission.” Adrian stated and the players could not help but silently agree.
The players knew that Pristina would never agree to getting help from a demon. She was incredibly prideful and one of the most powerful advocates of human supremacy in the continent. She would never agree to a demon helping her because the Church of Light views them as evil beings that need to be punished. Although, a majority of people already know that demons and devils are different beings but the Church of Light did not make that distinction.
