349. Elysium Invasion (II)
🕑 Added 2022-09-04 07:38:12 +0000 UTCYami looked seriously, knowing the situation might be out of hand if not taken seriously.
“Asta and Yuno, you are responsible for one Lord, Mereoleona and Fugeoleon for the second, Acier and Noelle for the third, me and Vengeance for the last.
“Vanessa, wait on the side in case of an emergency.”
Vanessa nodded in agreement. Her primary role is to ensure no one dies. Although the team has the Arcane Heart to heal their injuries, they can still be killed. In that scenario, her fate magic will come into the equation.
Before the training, her magic only worked for the member of the Black Bulls. But with her training, she can use the cat, Rouge, to reverse the fate of anyone in her proximity at the expanse of a lot of mana. Luckily, she also achieved Tier 5 during the training, so she did not lack mana.
The Seraphim Lords looked indifferent as if they were mechanical robots with no emotions or thoughts of their own. There were four of them–two men and two women–however, they each looked like identical twins.
“Let’s go, Sylph.” Yuno did not waste time before fusing with his Wing Spirit, entering his ultimate form. He had two Grimoire before him as he flew toward one of the Lords.
“Liebe, we can’t lose to him,” yelled Asta as he entered the Devil Fusion Mode with black horns and black wings.
Their chosen Seraphim Lord did not waste time as she attacked.
Sky Magic: Air Bullets.
Dozens of bullets made of pressurized air rushed toward Yuno. However, the latter did not evade. Instead, Asta flew in front of her and used his sword to cut off all the bullets before rushing toward Sky Lord and slashing her.
However, the latter had plenty of battle experience, so she flipped her wings to fly away and evade the attack. Then, she rushed toward Asta and kicked him to the ground; the latter could not even react despite reading the Sky Lord’s Ki.
Star Magic: Quartile Hasta
Four stars appeared before Yuno and converged to create a powerful beam traveling toward the Sky Lord at light speed.
Sky Magic: Could Protection
Fluffy clouds surrounded her, and once the light beam hit them, the clouds bounced back the attacks, forcing the beam to hit the ground, generating a massive explosion.
Sky Magic: Heavenly Punishment.
Dark clouds appeared above the three. Then, black lightning suddenly fell from the sky, trying to eradicate the two. Asta–who dug himself out–nullified the lightning with his sword while Yuno flew around to evade.
Asta used an Anti-Magic Slash toward the clouds in the sky, but the Sky Lord appeared before the dark slash and used her physical body to punch and divert the attack. Then, her attack continued; she seemed to have no reservations about conserving mana.
While these two fought one Seraphim Lords, the others did the same too.
Fuegoleon summoned the fire spirit, Salamander, to boost his strength and aid him. At the same time, Mereoleona used a new technique she developed during the training: Hellfire Incarnate.
Her body turned into dark flames; it was like she was the incarnation of a Fire God. Moreover, her strength was further boosted since she had a temporary contract with Salamander.
Their opponent was the second female Lord.
Beast Transformation Magic: Dragon Lord.
The Beast Lord turned into an enormous black dragon more than 15 meters long with a wing span of at least 25 meters.
Calidus Brachium Purgatory: Abyss
Mereoleona punched more than 10,000 times in a few seconds, and with each punch, jets of black flames engulfed the black dragon. However, the mighty beast glanced at this attack with disdain.
She opened her mouth and spewed a green liquid: acid. The acid confronted the fire punches for a few seconds before overpowering them. Then, Fuegoleon–lamenting how his sister had become even more out of control after increasing her strength–took action.
Fire Magic: Lion King Roar.
A two-meter lion head manifested before him; it opened its mouth before spewing out a jet of blue flame. Simultaneously, Salamander also used a breath fire to aid in the confrontation.
At first, these three attacks worked as the fire burned the dragon’s acid. However, the black dragon’s scale suddenly turned blue. Then, the acid breath turned into Freezing Breath.
With the mana and elemental advantage, the Beast Lord overpowered these three, forcing them to evade. With a glance between the siblings, they immediately decided on a new attack plan based on their training.
They begin to fly around the beast and attack her from different directions. Unfortunately, the mana in the surrounding was affected by the angel’s positive karma, so it was slightly harder to control with Mana Zone, even for a talented individual like Mereoleona. Nevertheless, she becomes more adept at doing this with time, slowly reaching her peak in the mortal world.
“Undine, lend me your strength,” said Noelle.
“No problem.”
Then, she fused with the Spirit.
Saint Valkyrie Dress
A beautiful armor made of water appeared on her body, and the same occurred for her mother, Acier, except her armor was made of steel.
Noelle flew toward the Seraphim Lord before stabbing her spear made of water.
Water Creation Magic: Sea Dragon Roar
A massive sea dragon headed for the Seraphim Lord.
“That’s my daughter,” said Acier as she also attacked.
Steel Creation Magic: Blade Tempest
Thousands of blades made of pure steel surrounded the Seraphim Lord, who, like the others, remained cold and indifferent. Then, she went on the offensive.
Dispel Magic: Spell Nullification
The dragon head and the blades suddenly disappeared as if they had never existed.
‘Anti-Magic?’ thought Noelle. ‘No, it seems different, like a weaker version.’
She glanced at her mother, and the two immediately knew what tactic to use: True Magic. Using True Magic, all Noelle’s attacks will turn into actual water instead of water made of elemental mana. And the same for her mother.
That way, Dispel or Anti-Magic can weaken these spells but cannot completely nullify them. Luckily for them, True Magic only works on elements found in nature, like water or metal.
So, they continued bombarding their opponent.
Meanwhile, Yami and Vengeance also began their attacks. Vengeance summoned an enormous tree and used its root to try to bind his opponent.
Purification Magic: Tree Purification
All the roots attacking the Lord suddenly dried up due to over-purification. Yami took this opportunity to attack. He used his katana to slash, creating a dark sword slash that flew toward the Pure Lord.
Purification Magic: Dark Purification.
The dark slash suddenly turned golden; she purified the darkness into light before absorbing it into his body, making him slightly stronger.
Purification Magic: Pure World
A golden sphere with the Pure Lord at the center spread toward Yami and Vengeance, purifying everything in its path, including the mana in the surrounding.
Dark Magic: Black Moon
Yami created a small black hole above their heads, creating a dome that protected him, Vengeance, and the World Tree. Once the golden sphere approached the dome, it was absorbed.
Immediately afterward, Vengeance controlled many of the tree’s branches to enter the black hole. Another black hole appeared behind the Pure Lord where the tree branches and caught one of his arms.
However, the Seraphim Lord was ruthless and broke that arm before regrowing another. Nevertheless, Vengeance’s tree could absorb mana, so in this brief interaction, he stole a great deal of mana from his opponent.
In the outside world, Edward watched this battle calmly. Even with only 2 vs. 1, his people could keep with the Seraphim Lords despite being a Tier lower. And it was all because of their perfect team trained over ten years.
He then focused on the first layer, where the summoning ceremony was almost over. Then, he sends a message to Dorothy, who then relays his message to the others.
Then, something unexpected occurred. All the Tier 5 Magic Knights–including the Captains–suddenly used the Arcane Rune Spell: Apparition.
They all suddenly teleported next to one of the four Seraphim Lords and attacked simultaneously, catching them off-guard. And they used their most potent spells, greatly injuring these beings.
Then, Asta acted quickly before creating Anti-Magic Cuffs to restrain these people. Meanwhile, Charmy began to distribute food to replenish mana.
“Yuno, look, Plan O worked,” yelled Asta.
“Of course, it did,” replied casualty as he left the Spirit Fusion Mode.
“I’m glad everything went well; no one died or suffered.”
Yuno did not say anything but remained vigilant; he won’t let his guard down until the Wizard King showed up.
Finally, the elves finished the ceremony, and Edward was summoned to Elysium.
(AN: As I said, things will go faster.)
Sky Magic, Dispel Magic, Beast Transformation Magic, and Purification Magic
