Chapter 959 Two Angels Of The Battlefield
Currently, Lux, Keane, Gerhart, and Cethus were dealing with the first wave of the Beast Tide.
The weakest among the Beasts were Rank 4 Monsters, and the Alpha Monsters of the Horde were Deimos-Ranked Monsters.
The Dwarven Army only numbered around a hundred thousand, including the members of Aina’s Guild, Eternal.
To some factions, this number of soldiers was already good, especially for a newly founded Kingdom.
However, against a Beast Tide with monsters numbered in the millions, it wasn’t enough and they were at a huge disadvantage.
Fortunately, Lux and his friends appeared to help deal with the Alpha Monsters and the small fries.
The Undead Legion even took the Vanguard in the battle. If there were any monsters able to pass their defenses, they would then be dealt with by the Dwarven Army.
The reason why Lux was looking for information about Beast Tides was due to the fact that this was the fastest way to farm Beast Cores.
Right now, he needed a lot of them, which he would use to strengthen himself by absorbing all of them.
Keane, Gerhart, and Cethus had heard about what happened to Gaap, and they decided to help Lux in whatever way they could.
Truth be told, the Half-Elf could have easily dealt with the Beast Tide if he wanted, but he didn’t do that.
He had summoned his friends so they could gain experience allowing them to increase their Ranks, while he got the Beast Cores to increase his Rank.
When he heard the screech of the giant Roc at the back of the Monster Army, he knew that things were now about to get messy.
As a Giant Flying World Boss, the Roc was escorted by thousands of flying Monsters, and their ranks ranged from Rank 5 up to the Empyrean Rank.
Its wingspan was thirty-six meters, and its entire body was emitting powerful gusts of winds that repelled anything that flew near it.
This was why its retainers flew several hundreds of meters away from it, allowing the World Boss to fly unimpeded.
The Flying Beasts that were part of the Beast Tide only comprised a tenth of it. Even so, this small percentage was perhaps the most difficult to face due to how powerful their leader was.
Now that Eiko was no longer accompanying him, his Undead Legion wasn’t as numerous as it was when the Baby Slime was with him.
Fortunately, he had someone who could help increase his army the moment he appeared on the battlefield.
“Come, Avernus!” Lux ordered.
Immediately, a Dracolich manifested itself in the sky above him.
When the Dracolich appeared, the Dwarves thought that it was an enemy. However, after it unleashed a Dragon’s Breath towards the Monster Tide, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. A powerful monster like the Dracolich was something that they didn’t want to fight if at all possible.
Avernus roared and Lux’s Undead Army instantly doubled due to its skill, Summon Undead Legion.
“From death’s embrace, I rise with fire and bone. As Avernus, I claim my rightful throne!”
A fiery gate appeared on the ground below the Dracolich, and the forces of Hell charged out of it with a determined look on their faces.
The Hellish Army cut through the Beast Tide like a hot knife cutting through butter, instantly lifting the pressure upon the shoulders of the Dwarf Defenders.
“Uncle Avernus!” Cethus shamelessly called out to the Dracolich, who had now become his idol. “I’ll fight with you!”
The Dracolich chuckled as he gazed at the very eager Dragon Born, who had called him Uncle.
“Come.” Avernus smirked. “Let’s teach these Low Landers how superior the Dragon Race is!”
“Yes, Uncle!” Cethus flew towards the Beast Tide and raised his spear. “Gravity Domain!”
A dark dome expanded outwards, increasing the gravity within it by three times.
This sudden change in the battlefield affected the Beasts that were inside the Gravity Domain, forcing them to stop their charge and endure the forces that were pressing down on them.
Cethus could have increased the output of his power and used it to crush the bones of his enemies. However, if he did that, he would easily get tired, so he settled for the next best thing.
All of Cethus’ allies, including Lux’s army and the Dwarves, weren’t affected by this ability.
Since there was an army willing to exterminate the immobile monsters, it was enough that the Dragon Born kept the Domain active.
Seeing this scene, Avernus chuckled before flying towards the Roc, which was currently being distracted by Victor.
Although the opponent was a Calamity-Ranked Monster, and he was just of the Empyrean Rank, the Dracolich was fearless.
The reason?
Because his race was superior.
Even in death, the bones of a dragon were very sturdy and resistant to most elemental attacks.
Simply put, a Dracolich was Evil Incarnate, having all of its powers when it was still alive, without the weakness of the flesh and with the added strength of the Undead.
When he was a Demigod, Avernus battled against the strongest Demigods of the Abyss.
Even if it had regressed, it was not afraid to face a Calamity-Ranked Monster, whose species was much inferior to it.
The Giant Roc slapped away the Dwarven Saint with its wings before shifting its attention to the approaching Dracolich.
It gave a mighty shriek before covering its entire body in a hurricane. It then flew towards the Dracolich, which it deemed as the biggest threat on the battlefield.
Avernus sneered and activated his skill, Death Seeker, allowing him to pinpoint the location of the Roc that was hiding inside the hurricane.
The Dracolich then covered itself with Necrotic Flames before it flew towards the incoming hurricane.
Clearly, he wanted to fight the Roc in a battle of strength to see which of them was stronger.
The beasts positioned directly beneath the two monsters almost instantly turned into meat paste, sending a bloodmist rising in the air.
With an earth-shaking rumble, a powerful shockwave spread across the battlefield as the two World Bosses collided.
Victor, who had just recovered from getting slapped away, was sent flying backward once again as the shock wave hit him without warning.
The beasts positioned directly beneath the two monsters almost instantly turned into meat paste, sending a bloodmist rising in the air.
The Flying Monsters accompanying the Roc were also blown away, and their formation was disrupted.
“Aina, tell your people to retreat to the walls of the city,” Lux stated. “Things are going to become more dangerous around here.”
Aina nodded and immediately gave the order to retreat.
“Colette, go back to the city,” Aina ordered.
“Yes, Sister!” Collete replied.
The adorable Dwarf knew how dangerous the situation was so she no longer tarried and followed the Army to escape.
Aina didn’t leave and stayed beside Lux, who was commanding his Undead from the rear.
The Half-Elf gave the beautiful Dwarf a side-long glance before shifting his attention to the battle in the sky.
He knew that Aina was strong, especially in her Angel of Vengeance Form, so he didn’t ask her to retreat like the rest.
“The Monsters will be more desperate to attack the city now,” Lux stated. “It will be best if we wipe them out now before things get more complicated.”
Aina nodded in agreement.
Immediately, her body was bathed in a Holy Light and she transformed into the Angel of Vengeance.
Right now, Aina looked like a Valkyrie, and the white, tendril-like wings on her back looked so Holy, making the Dwarves who were observing her in the distance look at her with reverence.
Suddenly, Lux thought of something, and a smirk appeared on his face.
“Come, Seraphina!” Lux shouted.
Immediately, a pillar of light descended from the sky, and within it, his Battle Angel materialized.
Similar to Aina, Seraphina also had tendril-like wings. The only difference was that Aina’s wings were white, while Seraphina’s wings were golden.
Just as Lux expected, Aina was shocked to see Seraphina.
Seraphina, on the other hand, gave the Dwarf Angel a brief nod before looking at the Beast Tide in front of her.
With two beautiful angels standing beside him, Lux looked like a War God who was being accompanied by Divine beings.
“Go,” Lux stated. “Wipe them out and show no mercy.”
Aina and Seraphina nodded at the same time before flying towards the sky.
A moment later, countless beams of light crisscrossed the battlefield from the Heavens, slicing up everything that was unlucky enough to be hit by their deadly radiance.
From behind, Lux watched with a calm expression on his face as the battlefield was bathed by radiant flames, instantly killing a tenth of the Beast Tide that threatened to flatten the Xeno Kingdom.
