Chapter 472 Fallen Angel Berith (Part-3)
Rising in the air, he created several swords and daggers made of dark energy and aimed at the threads. The golem was freed instantly but it wasn't able to move and collapsed on its knees because of the paralyzing effect released by those threads when they captured the golem.
Berith furrowed his brows, "So, you lot finally stopped trying to be protectors. Well, no matter."
He closed his eyes and raised his arms above his head. In the next second, metal alloy pillars once again left the underground. "Careful…" shouted the commander of the Dragon corps.
Fortunately, this time, the attacks weren't able to deeply injure or kill the Arcana masters as everyone was already formed energy barriers around themselves to protect against attacks like these, although some couldn't help from having light and moderate injuries, which were healed within no time.
"Let's see how long you will resist before losing your will." Fallen Angel Berith raised his arms, creating two dozen metal golems. These were a bit less in height compared to the main one but still, 15 meters is considered a giant for humans and it would be a lie if these Arcana Masters were not intimidated by their sheer number.
The four commanders unanimously decided to ignore the metal golems and went after the main boss. Meanwhile, all the rank-7 and rank-6 experts received an order to move far away from Berith and focus on defeating the golems instead.
Following the orders, Azzy shifted his attention toward the nearest metal golem. Lenore also followed his gaze. As a 6-star realm Arcana Master, she wasn't authorized to directly engage with the enemy unless she was left with no choice. Hence, she decided to stay on Azzy's side to support him. Of course, being a scythe user, she was also interested in observing his battle techniques to pick up one or two things.
"Ms. Lenore, you flank it from the left and I will take the right side. We'll take away its legs at once and then finish it." Azzy thought of a quick idea and said it to the masked girl, intending to preserve his strength as much as he can in order to prepare for the final battle
Lenore nodded and charged forward alongside Azzy.
Upon reaching the metal golem in a couple of seconds, Azzy swung his death scythe in a horizontal motion, cutting its leg in a single swoop. On the other hand, Lenore's flaming scythe was stuck in its leg after cutting a few inches.
As the metal golem lost its balance and fell on its back, Lenore involuntarily fly up in the air as she refused to let go of her weapon.
Her strength doesn't match with Azzy but still, she didn't plan on losing to him. Even in mid-air, she continued to attack the metal golem's leg by releasing a tremendous amount of flames from her scythe. These were white in color, as opposed to her normal red ones.
The intense white flames (1500C temp) melted its surroundings in just a matter of seconds and she cut the remaining part like tofu, completing her job before leaping back and landing on the ground.
This action might cost her nearly 10% of her soul power but surprisingly, it was recovered quite fast even without the usage of a recovery card.
"That mask Arcana of hers is indeed special. It was constantly absorbing the natural energy from the surroundings and refining it to her soul energy. It's a pity that it was only at gold grade. Or else, that light/dark dual attribute Arcana should have made her a legend." The Reaper heaped praises on Lenore's Arcana, making Azzy a little bit jealous of her and curious at the same time.
But then again, she wasn't a subordinate of him, just because her soul realm is lower. So, he couldn't tell her that she is a good job or something like that.
Instead, he went on finishing the golem by piercing its forehead where the mark of Berith was seen. It delinked its connection to the demon and the rest of the golem became a typical metal alloy.
According to the Reaper, it was only temporary and the fallen angel will regain his control over the destroyed metal golem to revive it again and attack but Azzy felt that those 80-90 seconds will be enough.
Brandishing his death scythe, Azzy then said as he shifted his attention to another golem, "Okay, one is done. Let's go."
Meanwhile, on the other side of the battlefield, the four commanders reached the fallen angel at the same time and launched their attacks simultaneously.
Berith let out a snort and conjured giant shields around him, blocking their attacks and pushing them away.
Two commanders were hit by the shields and crashed onto the ground while the other two managed to evade them with their quick speed.
Berith then targeted one of those fallen ones and teleported behind him.
"Commander Wall, careful…" screamed the commander of Crimson Lion Corps.
The stout guy tried to get away from there but the demon was faster. Before he even got up onto his feet and others attacked him, Berith already bombarded him with more than a dozen dark energy swords and create a shield at the same time.
In an instant, Jack wall, the commander of the Black Bear Corps passed away and the energy attack of the Dragon Corps' commander was blocked.
"You bastard…" the two commanders roared while the third one slowly got up onto his feet.
Berith then shifted his attention toward the one who tried to sneak attack him while he was killing the commander earlier. "Your turn will come later."
Once again, he created a dozen weapons filled with dark and demonic energy but this time, daggers were also mixed in the bunch as he threw them in three different directions.
All the commanders were able to evade them, only to realize later that they had a target lock-in feature. Dragon Corps' commander, Curtis Hagen, who was an assassin, still managed to evade again and destroy them because of his quick feet.
However, the rest of the two weren't as blessed as he was. The moment the daggers were in their two-foot radius, they automatically exploded, creating a chain reaction, causing the energy swords to explode and release demonic energy into the surroundings as well as corrupting the soul energies of the two commanders.
In the end, only Curtis Hagen remained before the fallen Angel but his gaze didn't have a shred of fear for death. He bravely stood on the ground and his hatred for the demon could be clearly seen in his eyes.
"Today, you will die, demon," loudly announced Curtis, to which, Berith let out a smirk in response, "foolish human, I know your past, present, and future. All of your movements and abilities were already in my grasp. There is no way a weakling like you can even put a scratch on me, much less kill me. Not to mention, this isn't even… Hmm?"
*Swoosh*
Berith suddenly sensed something above him and he took a glance at the sky. His eyes widened in surprise and he quickly tried to move away but a spear filled with lightning energy was already at the doorstep.
It pierced through his body before releasing waves of electric current.
"Argh…"
