Chapter 1797: The Six Virtues III
1797 The Six Virtues III
Bronx started to turn dark purple as his body is also starting to get covered in prism like scales. When he finally became covered in this prism like scales, Bronx moved at a speed faster then before. He aimed his claws towards Zadkiel as he intended to rip the angel's body apart so that she will not give the information about them.
Just before Bronx is about to pierce and destroy Zadkiel, another of the Six Virtues appeared with his shield. Bronx' claws hit the shield that is being carried by Gabriel as the Angel of Patience arrived just in time to defend Zadkiel. Gabriel felt the immense weight of that attack and he would have lost his balance if not for Zadkiel boosting him.
"Reversal of Light!" Gabriel shouted as his shield glowed.
A powerful light shot out of Gabriel's shield that headed straight towards Bronx. The Elder Arch Demon did not even flinch as he grabbed that attack and destroyed it as if it was easy. The prism scales that cover Bronx' hand was destroyed but he was not even harmed since it regenerated. The look of disbelief could be seen on both the angels.
"We did not know about this in the reports. I thought Daemos can only control time, space and force. That is not something a demon can do." Gabriel stated as he calmly assessed the situation.
"Gabriel, did Camael not tell you? You need to stop Mikhail from destroying the world barrier! The Daemos! They grow stronger the weaker the barrier gets!" Zadkiel stated as she believed that they should be briefed by that information.
"Camael only told me that you were in danger and that we should rescue you. What is this about demons being connected to the world barrier?" Gabriel stated.
"Megaton Force Bash!" Bronx stated as he suddenly went on all fours and charged towards Gabriel and Zadkiel.
Gabriel tried to block the attack by enhancing his shield with everything he has. Zadkiel also made sure to enchant Gabriel's shield with her strongest enchantment. Bronx became a dark violet comet that clashed with the golden shield held by an angel.
The moment Bronx and Gabriel's shield clashed has resulted in a powerful and deafening explosion. The explosion created a massive rift on the ground which cracked the eastern part of the Silver City. A large crater formed until part of the floating city separated from the main part.
Uriel is the next strongest angel after Mikhail and Gabriel but that is only the ranking when it comes to who can beat her. In terms of energy levels, Uriel is the one that could blast off a moon if she focused all of her energy into doing it. She has near unlimited power source when it comes to the light elemental as she possesses the Luxa Prima Heart.
It is a core that is created from the heart of a dead light god that is said to have been one of the most powerful light gods in existence. She was given this heart as a way to protect the angels or rather to protect Luminaria when a being of great power source is needed. She can also give some of her energy to the other angels that are under her, but she rarely does as she does not trust them with the power output.
She would have been more useful should she use it for attacking but she cannot as she is using her power output to defend the Silver City. A lot of dragons have come for revenge and their dragon breath can destroy any building in the Silver City should their attack touch it. She might have near unlimited energy but that would not be used in killing her enemies if she is busy defending.
The six dragon kings were present in the field as they wanted revenge for the endangerment of their young blood. The dragons do not care if you steal their treasure or sneak into their lairs to get some chump change. What will anger the dragons is the endangerment of their young because they cannot easily reproduce which makes children to them extremely precious.
Dragons would sunder villages, cities, and even kingdoms should their young be injured. This has always been a taboo topic even to the other races, but the angels tried that taboo. Now the angels face the wrath of all dragon kind especially the dragon kings.
The six dragon kings circulated the silver city and released all of their breath attacks at the same time. Even their servant dragons and dragonkin are participating in this attack. There were angels that tried to get near them, but they were all fended off by the other dragons.
"Are you still fine, Uriel?" Raphael asked as he was to heal Uriel should she needed to.
"I am fine but why is Mikhail not doing anything? You are not meant for attacking while Zadkiel and Camael is busy. Mikhail and Gabriel should be free to aid us but what are those two doing?" Uriel asked.
"Mikhail cannot come because he is preparing the last phase of the plan. He plans to tear open a hole for the Goddess of Light Luminaria to descend upon even if it is for a few minutes. The goddess should be able to wipe out the lizards and even the demons away. Gabriel should be the one guarding him in case someone disturbs his process." Raphael stated.
"I see then for the goddess! I shall make sure that the Silver City will be untouched by these heathens. Still, we cannot defend forever. What of the other gods of light that we have summoned back into the Silver City?" Uriel asked.
"We have lost contact with almost all of them. Those that no longer reply are tagged as killed or sealed. Some are already in our way so you do not need to worry as they would be able to defeat even the dragon kings." Raphael stated but even he believes that they are too late or taking too much time to get back to the Silver City.
Deep in the underworld...
The deepest parts of the underworld are said to be the place where the most awful of sinners get delivered to get punished. This is also where the God of Death Abaddon resides when he does his duties as the leader of the Gods of Death. This is also the place where it is the least occupied because barely anyone can get imprisoned here.
One would need to commit a lifetime of offense in order to get admitted to the deepest part of the underworld. This is also the place where the gods that have been severely punished are being held. Gods that have betrayed Pandemonium are all sealed in this lower level. Gods that have withered away because they have been forgotten or gods so evil that they have become treated as evil gods.
In this land where only darkness and emptiness could be seen, a demon could be seen looking up at all the gods that are hanged up. The Gods of Light that shined as if they were stars glowing in the night sky are all dim and screaming for release. Some even accepted their fate and just asked for respite instead.
"The Chains of Repentance. To think that these harsh things would be used on gods. How many people were killed because of what they did?" Adrian asked as he was curious and not feeling pity towards these gods.
"Their sudden performance in widening and destroying the world barrier inadvertently set off lots of things. The primordial beasts that were sealed off deep into the land have started to spring up. The expansion of the land has created a million deaths." The God Hades stated as he appeared next to Adrian.
"They have littered the ground with corpses when they trampled on conquest which gods should never do. Gods earn faith from the belief of people not their fear. They should have known that is taboo in the central continent as they should never slaughter any life." The God Ah Puch stated as he also appeared next to Adrian.
"How long will they be trapped here? Time moves differently here, and time also moves differently for gods. One day out in the real world is basically a hundred years here. Coupled with the slow time dilation of gods, a day of torture is equivalent close to a thousand years." Adrian stated.
"This is what they deserve for holding hands with not just the dark gods or distorted gods but also the fallen gods. They deserve to be punished for eternity if I was the one to make the judgement, but the God Abaddon told us to only keep them here for a few years." The God Hades stated.
"I always wanted to torture other gods as I was not allowed to touch those that are already rotting in here. Also, you need to look out for something, Champion Equinox." The God Ah Puch stated as he gave some instructions to Adrian.
