Novel Full Chapter 936 Misfortune Smiles Upon You [Part 2]
Lux glanced at the ground and observed the two Calamity-Ranked Monsters that escaped the prison.
Aurora, who was in his arms, trembled because she knew that she was the one responsible for letting the two Monsters escape.
“I’m sorry,” Aurora said. “My luck is simply terrible.”
Lux was about to tell her that it wasn’t her fault, but he managed to stop himself in time. He knew that saying those words wouldn’t help Aurora.
The only thing he could do now was decide what he was going to do next.
“Should we warn the city?” Lux asked Lilian, who had transformed into a little slime that was currently perched on his shoulder.
“The Saintess who followed us is already on her way back to the city,” Lilian replied. “I’m sure she will warn everyone once she arrives.”
Cethus, who was flying beside them, glanced at the Monsters on the ground before shifting his gaze to Lux.
“So, what now?” Cethus inquired.
“Good question,” Lux answered. “For now, let’s distance ourselves from those Monsters. Let’s return to the city first.”
The Half-Elf and his comrades then flew towards the City of Exile, where the two Monsters were currently headed.
One of them was two meters tall and looked like a Naga with golden eyes and razor-sharp teeth.
The other monster, who looked like an Ogre, was bigger, which he estimated to be around six to eight meters tall. It had four arms, and its skin was dark red.
Although these two Monsters noticed Lux’s group flying in the sky, they ignored them.
For some reason, the Monsters were determined to head to the City of Exile, where all the exiled people of Agartha were currently staying.
While this was happening, the Saintess finally arrived in the city. She immediately used her ability to pass the news to her King, as well as to everyone in the city.
“Two Calamity-Ranked Monsters are headed this way!” the Saintess shouted. “They are the Blood Ogre and the Golden-Eyed Naga!”
Immediately, the entire city was thrown into chaos.
Everyone started to leave their homes and scattered like wild ducks that heard the sound of gunfire.
The King of the Exiles smashed his wine cup on the ground before glaring hatefully at the sky, where Lux and his comrades were currently at.
“Sh*t! I should have killed all of them when I had the chance!” the handsome man cursed.
However, he knew that if he didn’t take control of the situation, things would get ugly pretty quickly.
“Artagnan, Athos, Porthos, and Aramis, to me!” the King of Exiles shouted. “All Rankers and High-Rankers, defend the city walls!”
When the panicking crowd of people heard their King, they stabilized themselves and immediately took action. They no longer ran, and instead headed towards the City Walls in order to defend it.
Meanwhile, the Four Saints appeared before their King and waited for his order.
“Artagnan, Athos, and Porthos, the three of you will deal with the Blood Ogre,” the King of Exiles ordered. “Aramis, you will help me distract the Golden-Eyed Naga.”
The Handmaiden, who went by the name, Aramis, nodded her head.
Meanwhile, the three men, Artagnan, Athos, and Porthos, all nodded their heads in agreement before flying towards the City Walls in order to deal with the Blood Ogre.
“Remember this, Aramis—our purpose is to distract the Naga, not engage it in battle,” the King of Exile stated. “It is impossible for us to defeat it with just the two of us. The most we can do is buy time until the others are done dealing with the Blood Ogre. Do I make myself clear?”
“Yes, Your Majesty,” Aramis replied.
“Good.” The King of Exiles sighed. “Let’s go.”
Ten minutes later, the two Monsters finally entered the range of the defenders on the City Walls.
“Open fire!” the King of Exiles ordered a barrage of spells and projectiles to rain upon the two Calamity-Ranked Monsters that were headed in their direction.
The five Saints didn’t hold back and unleashed their strongest attacks, targeting the monsters that were assigned to them.
“Should we help them?” Gerhart asked.
Lux was hesitant to join the battle, but something tugged on his clothes, which made him look at the young lady in his arms.
“This is my fault,” Aurora said. “If possible, I want to help them.”
The Half-Elf understood that Aurora wanted to take responsibility for letting the monsters go free. Because of this, he decided to grant her request. But he had a condition.
“I will help them, but you will not join the battle,” Lux stated. “I hope you understand.”
“…I do,” Aurora replied. “Thank you, Lux.”
The Half-Elf then glanced at the Wicked Queen Slime beside him, who had a frown on her face.
“Don’t tell me I’m going to babysit her?” Lilian asked. “I’m not your nanny.”
Lux was shot down before he could even say anything, so he didn’t have a choice but to shift his attention to Gerhart.
“Gerhart, please look after Aurora,” Lux said. “I will help defend the City of Exile. If the two Monsters manage to break inside the city, take Aurora and leave right away.”
Unlike Lilian, Gerhart nodded.
“Understood,” Gerhart replied. “Take care.”
Cethus also had no intention of joining the battle. He wasn’t a Martyr, and he had no connection with the City of Exile. Because of this, he decided to stay with Gerhart and watch the battle from a safe distance.
“Be careful, Lux,” Aurora said as she let go of his hand.
“Don’t worry.” Lux lightly patted her head. “If things get dangerous, I will escape as well.”
After saying those words, Lux flew towards the battlefield and summoned his two clones.
Although his Covenant Members had died in Aurora’s Dream World, their deaths weren’t considered true death since the world they fought in wasn’t real.
Because of this, Lux was able to summon them without any problems.
“Avernus, come!”
The Half-Elf summoned his Dracolich and stood on his back.
Now that he was fighting in the real world, he wanted to see if his forces were strong enough to stop the rampage of two Calamity-Ranked Monsters while helping the Exiled People of Agartha defend the city that they call home.
