Chapter 1098: The Awakening (2)
[Five Minutes Before The Awakening]
The 5,000km wide crack was almost fully opened.
This meant the moment it opens, attackers will pour out from the other side of the crack.
The Humans are ready.
This is a battle they cannot afford to lose.
Klaus stood calmly, looking at the crack.
’Any moment from now,’ he said inwardly, his gaze never leaving the crack in the air. A couple of seconds later, his expression showed a smile.
’Finally’
Klaus turned to everyone and gave an order.
“Everybody, stand down. Asmodeus will handle the opening for us.” Hearing Klaus’s words, those panicking calmed down.
Naturally, they are the main reason why Klaus made this decision. He wants them to first see what they will be dealing with before the main battle begins.
Of course, Asmodeus wasn’t going to be the only one.
Klaus looked at his wives and called two of them, “Aoi and Lulu, you will be joining Asmodeus.”
They nodded.
Aoi needs a lot of resentment from her kills to strengthen the Endless Sword Domain of slaughter, while Lulu needs the bodies and cores of her kills to both empower her 200,000 sword domain, but also create 50,000 more.
Naturally, with Asmodeus taking charge, they will have plenty of time to handle their business.
What the heavens didn’t know was that Klaus wasn’t planning on going all out from the start. No, his plan is to create an environment that allows his team to strengthen themselves first, before the big guns arrive.
The heavens listened to his plans and secretly showed them to his enemies in the form of visions. Unbeknownst to them, it was all part of Klaus’s plan.
So he waited for the heavens to finally take their eyes off them to make his plans. Now, the Ka’thorians are geared up and ready to come.
However, they will receive a nasty welcome simply because they listened to the plans of the heavens instead of trusting their own mind.
He smiled just when the timer hit zero.
Klaus formed a hand seal, and then he activated his illusion skill, which is promised to catch anyone off guard.
“World of Illusion: Mirror World”
Nothing happened… well, nothing happened to the people of Earth. To them, Earth is still the same as before – a giant crack opened in the sky, and the first of the enemy arrived.
But to the New arrivals, right when they appeared, they saw three people.
These three are, of course, Asmodeus, Lulu, and Aoi.
The Ka’thorians are a demon race born from flames and rage. They are destructive.
They have dark crimson or black skin, glowing eyes (red or orange), and molten-like patterns across their bodies.
The first set to appear is all Chaos and Ascension stages. About 100,000 each…
Leading them are 300 Nether-stage and 30 Domain-stage. Their King hadn’t appeared yet; however, this force is already terrifying.
However, when they appeared, they saw only three people, one of whom wore a smile on his face as he eyed them like they were his prey.
Most of them felt their backs break into a cold sweat when they saw Asmodeus’s smile. They all came to a halt; the Domain-stage Ka’thorians’ warriors were on high alert.
“Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Earth,” Asmodeus said, with a smile that showed no sign of malice plastered on his face.
“I know you all are expecting a grand welcome in the form of millions of soldiers. You expect them to watch you with panicked expressions.
However, here we are, just you ugly bastards, me, and these two amazing ladies.
Now, since you are here to kill us, allow me to give you that chance.”
Asmodeus opened his arms and smiled widely. “Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the domain of evil.”
The moment he said that, color was sucked from the air, turning everything black and white. In an instant, over 200,000 Ka’thorian warriors crashed to the ground, unable to remain standing in the air.
Asmodeus turned to Lulu and Aoi, gesturing forward, “Ladies first.”
They shook their heads, knowing the bastard had already made his move, so where is the “ladies first” in this? However, seeing all Chaos and Ascension stage warriors on the ground, Aoi moved to take one half, and Lulu also took one.
“Endless Sword Domain.” Lulu waved her hand, and in an instant, 10,000 swords, each linked to her, appeared in the air.
“Endless Sword Domain of Slaughter.” Aoi also called out, and a whirlpool of swords appeared, causing the Ka’thorians to feel like their bodies were being sliced by tiny swords.
The Domain stage Ka’thorians, when they saw this sight, moved to intercept the two ladies; however, Asmodeus was a step ahead.
A bone staff appeared in his hand, and then, as he pointed it forward, a bone dragon, just one, appeared, roaring with necrotic and primal authority.
The Domain stage Ka’thorians came to a halt. But before they could assess what was happening, 14 hooded figures appeared behind Asmodeus and moved, each wielding a scythe.
“Bring me their souls, Undead Reapers.” The 14 undead reapers moved, and in their place, seven figures appeared with instruments.
“Please, play me a tune.”
The Asmodeus’ Death Composers appeared, and the guitarist immediately struck a D-flat.
Time slowed down as every last Ka’thorian felt their speed severed completely. Even the Domain stage warriors lost 70% of their speed.
“What sorcery is this?” one of them asked, blocking the scythe of an Undead Reaper. The next second, however, his body was severed at the waist level.
“Nothing fancy,” Asmodeus grinned. “They are my Death Composers. They only play songs to the dead. So if a living person hears it, it means they are ready to die.
Naturally, that means you have no other choice but to die.”
“Damn it.” The Domain stage Ka’thorian, whose waist was severed, tried to teleport away. However, a sword came from nowhere and stabbed through his head, ending him.
Asmodeus turned and looked at Lulu, who glared at him. “So you planned on killing people at my wedding?” Lulu asked.
She had just heard what the seven could do. They are playing a rather nice song, and knowing this, she was shaken because they played at her wedding.
Asmodeus smiled and denied everything. “It was a happy event, Lady Lulu. Let’s not bring up theories.”
Of course, Asmodeus had no plans on killing anyone back then. However, the revelation of the Death Composers’ secrets caused everyone to feel ill.
Klaus smiled, standing on his sword.
He had cast an illusion that created a mirror world where, unless he willed it, nobody else could see it. Of course, depending on the pressure, he would be forced to release it, but for now, Earth had only three warriors, and they were killing it.
“This is not happening.” A Domain stage Ka’thorian retrieved a gun-like weapon and was about to fire it into the crack leading to Planet Nebu when a scythe came out of nowhere and cut his hand off.
However, the next second, he felt a powerful kick land on the back of his head, knocking him out cold.
Asmodeus grinned and waved his staff, creating strings made of necrotic energy. They latched onto ten Domain stage Ka’thorian bodies.
When the 11th was killed, the string latched onto that body too.
“And so it began.” Klaus looked at the Bast race. “Get ready.”
