Second World Chapter 1875. Soul and Chaos Peak Flames

Chapter 1875. Soul and Chaos Peak Flames

Thanael sent a mental warning at Eoranth and Honuren when he cast his spell. The two were ready when the huge pillar of light came down from heaven. The two jumped away before the pillar arrived.

Satan didn't receive the same warning, but his dexterity and reflex were way above the two. He could dodge even when he was late in reacting. However, Thanael's spell wasn't that simple. As the pillar of light came down, a heavy pressure was generated. The pressure was not only a physical effect but also a mental one. It caused everyone in the target area difficulty in moving. It also slowed any attempt at casting spells.

Magically, this pressure didn't affect allies, only the enemies. Hence, Eoranth and Honuren had no trouble fleeing the target zone while Satan was hampered.

The runic symbols of Satan's defensive suit flared brightly as his flaming weapon changed into a buckler. He also cast a flame s.h.i.+eld and placed it on top of him.

The ma.s.sive pillar of light landed. Everything in the vicinity turned into a world of light. Everyone had to close their eyes or look away due to the brightness.

When the brightness subsided, they saw Satan. He was still standing, and his HP bar was still two-thirds full. Yet, his appearance wasn't as daunting as before. Hissing vapors rose from his skin, which had many visible burnt marks. His face no longer displayed his usual scorning expression.

The most important result they noticed was Satan no longer had his runic defensive suit around his body. The raging flames of his Flame Rage were also gone.

The spell Thanael unleashed on Satan was called Purifying Heavenly Decree. This spell dealt astronomical light-element damage. While Emris' eight-rune mega spell only managed to take out around five percent of Satan's HP, the Purifying Heavenly Decree succeeded in reducing Satan's HP by almost ten percent.

Damage was not the only highlight of this spell. Those hit by this spell had a chance to get their buffs dispelled. Furthermore, the damage and dispel chance were doubled when the hit targets were of the undead, darkness, or demon types. This was why Satan was stripped of his buffs.

Seeing the outcome, both Eoranth and Honuren didn't waste the chance. They charged back at Satan. With the two still having their strongest buffs while Satan lost his, the situation reversed. Thanael also joined by using ranged spells to support the two.

Since the start of the war, there was never a time when Satan was on the back foot. This was the first time when Satan was at a disadvantage. The other demons who saw the scene were gaping in disbelief, while the defenders cheered at the top of their lungs as their morale rose.

"Grrr…. GRAAHHHH…!!! You, people, have done it…!! I'm angry now! I'm truly angry!! You will all regret this day as the day you draw my wrath…!!!"

Following Satan's roar, tremendous pressure erupted from him, halting his three a.s.saulters. As they paused, they saw a transformation on Satan's body. The skin on the right half of his body turned dark purple, while his left half turned silver.

Everyone was surprised. This was what happened when Satan was about to use either the Soul and Chaos Chain Reaction or the Soul and Chaos Extinguis.h.i.+ng Cannon. However, that skill's cooldown should still be one day away. They were always keeping track of that skill because of how devastating it was. Once the skill was off cooldown, Linda and Tip would send messages to everyone to go into alert.

Their decision to retreat even became dependent on how successfully they dealt with this skill. Depending on how much damage it caused, Linda would either issue a retreat or call for everyone to continue defending for another three days.

Satan had just used his ultimate skill two days ago. Hence, their shocked expressions when they saw the particular transformation of Satan's body. Linda and Tip hurriedly sent out the alert. Those within the Soul and Chaos Chain Reaction's ridiculous large AOE broke away from their battles and did all they could to flee the area.

Eoranth was prepared to cast his extreme teleportation while Honuren readied his defensive spell. Thanael turned into a flash of light and flew away at extreme speed.

However, Satan didn't slap his two hands together, which was the signature movement of the Soul and Chaos Chain Reaction. Instead, fire blazed from his body. The right half blazed with dark purple flames, while the left blazed with silver flames.

While Eoranth was still bewildered by the scene, Satan suddenly zoomed to his front. Eoranth didn't have the time to react when Satan's left fist came punching. That punch left a trail of silver fire. When it connected with Eoranth's face, it caused an explosion of silver fire. Eoranth was sent flying by the punch.

Honuren was still absorbing what was happening when Satan was suddenly before him. Satan's hand pierced into his lightning t.i.tan suit and caught him in his fist. Luckily, he had prepared a defensive spell. A dense sh.e.l.l of lightning covered his body. It prevented Satan's hand from touching him directly. All the while, Satan was bombarded by punches from his lightning t.i.tan suit.

Satan didn't care about the punches he suffered. The silver and dark purple flames boosted his defense. He didn't suffer much damage from the punches. He shoved his free hand into the lightning t.i.tan suit's head. The silver fire on that hand started burning the lightning as if it were paper.

Satan clenched his hand. The lightning sh.e.l.l protecting Honuren deformed as the pressure intensified. Honuren knew the lightning sh.e.l.l wouldn't hold for long. He used a skill and cast a spell while the lightning sh.e.l.l stopped Satan's hand. The skill was Soul Armor, a contingency in case the lightning sh.e.l.l broke too early. The spell was Teleportation.

When Honuren teleported away, the lightning t.i.tan suit didn't follow. This was because Satan's flames had deteriorated the suit too much. When Honuren was gone, the lightning suit collapsed.

Satan pressed on his attack by discharging infernal fire breath at where Honuren teleported to. The fire breath he discharged was not the usual red flames, but a mixture of silver and dark purple flames.

Eoranth came before Honuren and used his divine soul breath. The two breath attacks collided. The winner was quickly decided. Satan's twin-color breath engulfed Eoranth's silver breath. Honuren cast a lightning wall before the breath hit, but it was destroyed by a single strike.

Eoranth and Honuren were thrown by the blast. Luckily, Eoranth still had the Celestial Dragon Lifeforce protecting him, while Honuren had Soul Armor. They lost HP, but their lives were not in danger.

"I will kill you all…!!!" Satan exclaimed. He spread his arms. Energy b.a.l.l.s started to shoot out from his opened palms.

These energy b.a.l.l.s had a mixture of silver and dark purple. Each ball was like a miniature Soul and Chaos Bomb. The worst thing was there didn't seem to be a cooldown for these bombs. They continued to be discharged from Satan's hands every second. Satan flailed his arms around. These bombs were shot in every direction.

Each bomb detonated upon contact and dealt immense soul and chaos damage to a large area. Satan didn't seem to care about his aims during his rage. His bombs. .h.i.t even his underlings. Many demons and defenders died from the bombardments. Even the walls and siege weapons couldn't last a few hits. In a short moment, everything was a shamble.

"F*ck! Retreat! Retreat!" Linda broadcasted her command. This attack was not the Soul and Chaos Chain Reaction, but it was not less devastating. Furthermore, Satan didn't seem to end this state anytime soon. The energy b.a.l.l.s continued to fly around the battlefield, obliterating anyone unlucky enough to get hit.

This was Satan's ultimate buff skill, Soul and Chaos Peak Flames. This skill not only increased Satan's power exponentially, but it also gave Satan standard ranged attacks in the form of the soul and chaos bombs.

Everyone started retreating. Those near Satan's location activated their defensive skills to survive the bombs' onslaught. Tip used the rune tree's active effects to help them survive. Even then, many perished.

One positive thing about Satan's rampant bombings was the demons scattered to avoid getting hit by their lord. Due to this, no demons bothered to hinder the defenders. The defenders could focus on retreating. Thanael and the Council of Elpo's members cast AOE defensive spells to help the defenders survive.

Satan advanced while continuing to shoot the soul and chaos bombs. He alone was enough to trouble the retreating defenders even when the other demons stayed back. A strong pressure from above stopped his advance. He looked up and saw four beings up there.

The four beings were Everlasting Heavenly Legends' guild guardians. Without the demons hara.s.sing the defenders' retreat, they had the freedom to move around. They were currently using the final attack of the Oriental Guardian Beasts' enchantment. A large circle with four colored sections appeared. Four heavenly beasts flew out of the circle. These heavenly beasts unleashed their attacks on Satan.
