Chapter 837: Asmodeus’ Choice
"This bastard." Nathan gritted his teeth. There were two options. If he killed the mutant here, there was a high chance that Sera and the others would die.
Although he could trust Sera to a certain degree and she had an artifact to create a powerful barrier, those two were not enough to withstand all this mass. Even if she managed to survive, Flora and Alavenya would still be in trouble.
There were a lot of unknown variables that would appear if the soil fell as well, so Nathan could only grit his teeth and stretch his ena toward all that soil. Then she froze that ena and created a huge ice spike that suspended everything inside.
The mutant's smile became bigger.
"Tsk." Nathan clicked his tongue. Because he used his power to help Sera and the others, the alien took that opportunity to attack him. All five mummy guardians appeared next to him, using their own way to block the punch, albeit it wasn't enough.
The mutant broke through their attack and almost hit Nathan before Fenrir abruptly fell from the sky and knocked the fist down. As a result, the hand slid for a bit, sweeping Nathan and the guardians.
Still, Nathan managed to survive.
…
Meanwhile, on the other side of the hill, Sera and the others could hear the loud ruckus happening behind them.
"What?" Sera was in utter shock. She wanted to say something, but there were only Asmodeus and Raphael alongside her.
"This is practically a landslide." Raphael furrowed his eyebrows. "No. It's even more massive than that. My barrier is still in its weakened state. I'm afraid it's impossible to stop it."
"This is definitely not good." Asmodeus frowned. "To think that mutant would chip away the top of the hill to practically cause a man-made disaster…"
However, before they did anything, they saw ice rising and captured the soil, leaving behind only a small portion of its landmass.
"That's… Master Nathan?" Asmodeus frowned.
"In that case, I will block it. I should be able to block this much." Raphael raised his wand.
"No, wait, you little bird."
"What did you say, Demon?"
Asmodeus seemed to have understood the consideration Nathan had and his current situation. Nathan should have known about their capability and position. It was still possible to block it, but the moment they did it, they would expend so much ena to the point where they couldn't kill the warrior class aliens on this side.
Asmodeus stated, "You should conserve your energy. Instead, Lady Sera, you should block it with that artifact."
"What are you—" Raphael wanted to snarl, but Asmodeus continued, "This is the end of my journey. Please block it, Lady Sera. This is a message from Master Nathan. He wants us to kill the warrior class aliens. I can't explain everything, but that bird will be useful in the later phase of the battle. That's why I will use the last bit of my ena to kill at least one warrior class alien."
"!!!" Raphael looked shocked, while Sera took a deep breath, taking out her artifact. "All right."
She poured the ena into the divine artifact and formed a massive barrier.
The soil, trees, and some boulders were rolling down, bulldozing everything in their path.
The barrier caught them all, but she had a hard time containing the massive weight. The barrier was being pushed back, and if this continued, it might break.
However, several pillars suddenly emerged from the ground and supported the barrier, completely stopping the landslide.
"This is…" Sera glanced at Raphael.
"We, angels, never underestimate human invention. If you create additional pillars with a deep enough foundation, you can strengthen your barrier like this. Summoner. You have a good foundation and the way you control Synchronization is good. However, if you want to be better, you have to master everything in your arsenal."
Sera smiled. "Yes. I will do my best."
Asmodeus nodded, satisfied. He then released every bit of his energy. "Lady Flora, Lady Alavenya. I apologize, but will you create an opportunity for me?"
"!!!" Flora and Alavenya looked surprised, but they could see what was happening behind them. There might be other better plans, but they didn't have time.
They exchanged nods as Flora gave an order. "All my spirits will take care of the second warrior class, along with the lower-level aliens around it. I will join your side, Alavenya. We and your familiars will open up the path."
Once they understood their roles, each of them positioned themselves accordingly.
Alavenya and the lamia were the vanguards, opening up the path for Asmodeus. Flora and the rest of Alavenya's familiars suppressed other aliens.
Alavenya struck the ground and caused a smaller landslide, opening up the path toward the warrior class alien. Flora raised her hand and formed a huge yellow sphere in the sky that produced lightning that struck down the lower-level aliens.
"Haaaa!" Asmodeus shouted for the first time as he drained all his energy. He raised his hands and put them near each other. His ena started to materialize between his palms, forming a small black sphere.
"!!!" The warrior class alien could see what Asmodeus was trying to do. However, when it looked left and right, other aliens didn't seem to be able to protect him.
It wanted to get away, but the lamia struck from the right while Alavenya was waiting on the left.
Asmodeus then pointed his fingers forward like that of a gun. "First Floor!"
The ball flew forward so fast that it looked like a beam instead of a sphere.
"!!!" The alien gritted its teeth and raised both arms to protect itself, but surprisingly, the moment the ball reached the alien, the latter didn't sense any pain.
The alien wasn't the only one confused. Flora and Alavenya wondered what Asmodeus had just done. If he couldn't take this warrior class alien down, they would have to do it themselves. freewebnσvel.cѳm
But Asmodeus fell to his knees while painting. "Ha… I've made it. Tower of Pleasure!"
Suddenly, a purple-colored magic circle appeared underneath the alien. Then it produced several more magic circles on top of the alien before all of them were connected by a purple light like that of a tower.
"First Floor, Endless Pleasure."
The tower suddenly shone brightly, causing the alien to groan out loud.
"Raaaa—?!" The alien became confused but soon lost consciousness. His skin dried up as though he was completely drained from the inside. When the tower vanished, the alien fell down to the ground lifeless.
"Huh?" Flora and Alavenya were baffled while Asmodeus smiled tiredly. "Don't you know you can die in ecstasy?"
