Chapter 1340: Cap 1338: Defending the control point
?When I returned to the camp I barely had time to breathe, the control point in this place was surrounded by monsters and more and more of them were appearing, but none of them attacked.
Just by looking, I realized they were doing something, but I didn't know what to expect, so my eyes went to Nicole surrounded by holographic screens.
"What's going on? What's the situation?"?(I)
"15 Abyss Lords and around 90 thousand Abyss Creatures, there is also a possibility that there are more Abyss Lords hiding in the crowd to wreak havoc with a surprise attack."?(Nicole)
"What's the plan?"?(I)
"Not die."?(Nicole)
"..." (I)
"There is no logical way to form a plan, the enemy is coming out of space at random, and even now the numbers seem to have increased, I am not able to form a plan other than what we are doing."?(Nicole)
I couldn't complain to her, I myself couldn't think of anything other than a frontal attack as destructive as possible to reduce their numbers.
I soon decided to look at the rest of the camp, there were people mobilizing through the magical Rituals in which I helped and people standing ready for combat.
"Do the other Religions have something in mind?"?(I)
"No, they are using the same thing as at the beginning, the Minor Gods attacking the Lords of the Abyss and the Demigods attacking the Creatures of the Abyss, basically the same thing they were already doing."?(Nicole)
"(I don't want to run in blindly without a plan, but this is a very simple situation of brutality, so whatever!)" (I)
"Everyone here will help, but is there anyone else coming?"?(I)
"It was supposed to come, but I can't get in touch with Hades, Hela, Sakura, érica and several others."?(Nicole)
"Are they in danger?"?(I)
"No, but there seems to be some interference, they seem to be closing the space around us distorting the space."?(Nicole)
"I understand, but it's not distorting space, it's eroding space."?(I)
I looked around, what I could feel more clearly than any other space in this place, the same thing that I experienced before is slowly happening, but now I can focus more on it identifying the reason.
The Aura, presence, or whatever these things have emanating from your bodies is corroding the very space that continues to repair itself all the time.
"(Nix, how is Layla?)" (I)
"(She's already healed and furious, Rosane took care of her.)" (Nix)
"(Is she here? Will she help in the fight?)" (I)
"(She said she will help heal those who come to her, but she will not interfere in combat.)" (Nix)
"(Stay next to Layla, she is very impulsive, if you need help just call me.)" (I)
Layla was very injured when I found her, but as soon as I got here I let Nix take her to heal, but it seems that these wounds were less serious than I thought.
"I could feel a faint presence a little while ago, could it be that..." (I)
I ended mental communication with Nix when I realized something, the Creatures of the Abyss were obeying these Lords of the Abyss, everything they are doing must have a reason and this presence from before was similar to theirs.
"Nicole, let everyone know that we are going to activate Rituals 5, 6, and 9."?(I)
"They won't like it."?(Nicole)
"I don't mind, just let me know."(I)
"(Alice, activate all 3 Rituals with Holy power.)" (I)
"(Of course, Master Zenos.)" (Alice)
"That should be enough, now..." (I)
Me warning others about using 3 of the Rituals at the same time will make some if not all of them use their own Rituals for extra effect, these Rituals were made for exponential increase when used together.
I gave my commands to Alice, she can use a large amount of Holy Power by taking it directly from the Dungeon, so I left her in charge of it from the beginning.
A few seconds after giving the order I felt the Sacred Power gathering in several places, by my calculations another 7 Rituals are being used, it seems that the majority made the correct decision.
Soon 10 columns of light rise to the heavens, and each column takes the form of a different Elemental, when all 10 are ready a magical circle forms in the sky expanding, a Natural Aura forms while the image of a World Tree upside down illusory bass forms, all 10 Elementals that look more like Titans of Nature fly in 10 different directions around the control point.
As soon as the 10 Elementals reach the enemy forces, a connection-shaped explosion full of elemental power forms, sweeping each of the 10 directions with an element.
A tsunami of water, an earthquake that brings thorns of earth, a blizzard that freezes everything, a lightning storm, a sea of ??fire, a cloud of darkness that disappears with everything it touches, trees that come to life attacking everyone around, a field of swords that cut everyone nearby, an area full of light that enhances everything it touches and an area full of Tornadoes that suck everything into themselves where they are torn to pieces.
Not only did these 10 areas cause an explosion of destruction, they did so over an area of ??nearly 10 kilometers in each direction creating diverse terrain for everyone to explore.
I could easily feel that more than 3/5 of the enemies disappeared with this attack, so there was no need to say anything else, I could see rays of light coming out of the control point and heading towards the Lords of the Abyss.
"They were faster than I expected, I should go too."(I)
With the Minor Gods advancing first, I followed closely behind, of course, I chose to go to the place where there would be no Lord of the Abyss, I no longer want to fight these bastards like the idiot who used acid.
As soon as I advanced, I went to the area that would give me the most advantage, value, and cold, just as any type of environment will be useless against the Creatures of the Abyss, but environments with more exotic obstacles that hinder their movements is the best option, so I went to direction of forest areas.
On the way I saw black dust spread everywhere, it must belong to the Abyss Creatures killed in this attack.
But what I did was enter my Dragon form while trying to maintain a smaller, more human-sized body, a dagger in one hand and a sword in the other.
I ran without encountering any enemies until I reached the forest, and then dozens of thorns the size of my arm came towards me at high speed.
I kept my mind calm while dodging the thorns with minimal movements or using my two weapons to change their directions by swiping sideways, so I advanced into the forest where some kind of gray scorpion was waiting for me.
I threw my dagger at the tail, throwing it back, giving me time to run towards him, I jumped over the pincers when he tried to attack me, then I concentrated my Aura and Holy Power on the sword's blade before focusing a horizontal attack. In his head, this all happened in mere seconds and ended with this Creature of the Abyss split in half.
So I stopped at the entrance to the forest because I felt eyes watching me, in the end, I ended up running into exactly what I wanted to avoid.
"You noticed me, your senses seem to be pretty good, I'll try to remember that."
Suddenly all the trees began to wither and die, an energy similar to death spreading, it was a little different and more like decay, this energy decreases and weakens everything it touches while draining all forms of energy.
When the trees disappear a Lord of the Abyss shows himself, it was a scorpion with 2 tails, two scythes in place of pincers and the upper part was that of a woman with armor made from the same carapace as the rest of the scorpion's body, it was some kind of centaur with strange scorpion.
The woman was looking at me calmly as if analyzing everything about me, but while she was physically still, her Aura tried to attack me twice, the first time she tried to pressure me, which didn't work, so she focused her Aura on a single point which tried to penetrate my Aura, which also didn't work when I used the same strategy concentrating my Aura in a smaller area to defend its attack.
"It will be more efficient to use the body, let's prove it."
Saying this she came running towards me, her scorpion legs moving at surprising speed.
"Why can't I just have 1 plan of mine working? Damn bad luck!"(I)
Saying this, I opened my wings, giving a strong push forward, when their scythes tried to cut me, I turned, passing between the two scythes to try an attack, but in that position, I couldn't dodge the attack from one of the tails, which released a fluid jet pressurized cutting off some of my scales.
I took advantage of this attack the moment it hit my body to reposition myself further away, it seems that I have to better consider my next attack.
