𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝟏𝟗𝟑.1: 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐄𝐯𝐢𝐥 𝐆𝐨𝐝 𝐨𝐟 𝐆𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐝 (12)
Towards Anhui Province, the New Millennium Federation Army and the Huan Kingdom Army, as well as the Orion Empire, were marching north along with the Union Alliance Army.
Comparatively, the number of transcendent beings was relatively low, which was a concern, but Orion Inarius, the founder of the Orion Empire and a demigod, and his brother Furion Inarius, were present.
And to stop them, the Knight of Avarice Barbatos led one million troops of Greed. The problem was that. . . Barbatos was not strong enough to fight two demigods by himself.
“Knight of Avarice, Barbatos?”
【Are you the demigods of the Wood Elves, the Orion and Furion brothers?】
At that moment, demons of similar or slightly weaker levels appeared behind Barbatos. They were the duke and marquis level demons of Greed.
Unlike Duke Valtr, who was currently stationed in the Imperial Empire, he was a duke who had been in the Chaos World and had recently come to this Century. Because of that, he was weaker than Valtr and was at a similar level to Barbatos.
When he was in the Chaos World, he had been exiled by Oswald and had been attacking the weakened archdukes of sin, but this time, he had quickly changed course when Archduke of Greed Mammon tried to ascend to an evil god.
【A demigod. . . If I kill and absorb them, I can become stronger.】
A demon who turned out to have the closest power to Barbatos stepped forward. A fallen angel, a demon duke with three white wings and three black bat wings, his name was Aamon, the son of the archduke demon Lucifer of Pride.
Born from Lucifer and a demon of Chaos, he possessed both demonic power and holy power. It was a product of Lucifer, who knew the principle of Nephilim, trying to create a Nephilim artificially. And indeed, Aamon, who was created for the purpose of being a Nephilim, was strong.
【It won’t be easy.】
【Have you become more timid after being defeated several times? This is why the people from the lower realms have weak minds. . .】
Despite Aamon’s sarcasm, Barbatos did not seem to be very upset. It could be because Barbatos was stronger than Aamon in the first place.
Of course, if he were to return to the Chaos World, Aamon would be ten times stronger than Barbatos, but this was not the Chaos World, so Barbatos simply treated Aamon as a child.
【You, did you just ignore me?】
Just as Barbatos, who was taken aback, was wondering how to respond, the two demigods attacked first. Orion Inarius, who had drawn power from the nearby forest, fired a beam of green energy, attacking the two beings.
Kwakwakwang!
It seemed like they would take the surprise attack head-on, but the demons put all their effort into blocking it to protect them, rendering it ineffective. Of course, it appeared that dozens of noble demons had been injured. . .
Orion frowned because Aamon and Barbatos, who were the original targets, were still alive.
“Brother, we should have attacked together. . .”
“I thought we would be able to handle mere demons.”
“This is not the territory of the Orion Empire. The magic power of the forest is not as good as in our territory. Moreover, without the help of the wisps, it is natural that the power will be reduced.”
Orion nodded at Furion’s words and apologized for his mistake.
“I seem to have gotten ahead of myself.”
Next, the Wood Elf spirits who had received the Rite of Verdure and the Ritual of Faith came forward. Most of them had the power of a master, so they were more than enough to deal with the noble-class demons.
These Wood Elf spirits were the greatest strength of the Orion Empire. They fought against the demons through the spirits of trees and the spirits of the earth.
“Then, let’s get started.”
Furion decided to take on Aamon, and Orion decided to fight Barbatos.
Furion used the wings on his arms to fly up and flew towards Aamon. Soon, dozens of spirits in the form of Aura, the symbol of faith, appeared around Furion. These spirits, known as the Spirits of Faith in the Orion Empire, began to attack Aamon at Furion’s will.
The wings, beaks, and claws of the spirits were as sharp and hard as the Aura Blade. Moreover, the energy that made up the spirits was holy power.
Because of that, Aamon swung a greatsword covered in demonic power at the spirits that were annoyingly attacking him, but it was useless.
【This annoying owl!】
Because they were made of holy power, the spirits reacted strongly to demonic power and resisted, so Aamon added holy power to the greatsword, and only then did the spirits begin to react.
Not all holy power was the same, so when holy power clashed with holy power, the blow was even greater.
Moreover, the root of the holy power that Aamon wielded was Chronos. Since it was a god of the same rank as the forest god Junelle, the conflicting powers were even stronger, which was why he was being pushed by Aamon, who used demonic power together.
“Root Binding!”
Furion, who had been gathering the magic power of the forest, cast a simple spell. Then, the tree roots in the ground began to rise and grow larger.
Soon, the roots that had grown high into the sky approached Aamon, who was having a scuffle with the Spirits of Faith, and began to bind his body all over.
【What the hell is this!!】
Aamon kicked away the tree roots as he fought back, but. . . the ever-growing tree roots persistently tried to restrain Aamon.
Soon, the tree roots covered not only his arms and legs but also his body, head, and wings, and they continued to pile up on top of him, eventually forming a sphere.
Furion, who did not miss the opportunity, summoned the Spirits of Faith and began to draw the magic power of the forest. The magic power of the forest gathered in both hands. . . Furion immediately fired a dark green energy beam at the constantly expanding sphere of tree roots.
Puhwaaaang!
The energy beam dug into the center of the sphere of tree roots. At first, it seemed to resist to some extent, but after absorbing the demonic power that he had created through the tree roots, the solid barrier was eventually broken through, and the energy beam passed through.
Furion was convinced that the rather thick energy beam had pierced through the other side, dealing a major blow to Aamon.
