Chapter 546: Prelude to a Great Battle (1/2)

There's bloodstains on Raven's nose and mouth. He's pale as a paper and his breathing was ragged.

Everyone surrounded him with worried gazes but Raven only waved his hand and said:

”I'm okay. Who's that by the way? A Sin?”

”Most likely, yes.” Henry solemnly stated as he patted Raven's shoulders. ”We didn't get to see its face properly so we don't know which one is it exactly. Additionally, Sins can freely morph into shapes that as they deemed fit for the situation so there's no point in blindly guessing. By the way, what happened to you?”

”Pushed my ocular technique a bit too much.” Raven groaned as he sat back on the chair. ”Thankfully I managed to stop it before the that thing looked over. I had this premonition that it sensed us, I don't think I can risk peeking over there once more.”

Raven took out some pills from his spatial ring and consumed them. After his complexion visibly eased-up, he said: ”Are we enough to face it?”

”We can't say for sure.” Theo replied with a frown. ”We are the only War Gods who were free, the rest aren't present since they're out on a mission. We can still ask for reinforcements but its risky.”

”Either we hope that whoever that one is, don't descend or we deal with it ourselves. Asking for additional reinforcements isn't a bad idea but they might become additional casualties instead of being helpful.” Julia added.

”Judging from their numbers, it seems that they're itching to descend anytime soon.” Logan murmured, ”Do you plan on using the seal right now?”

”I was hoping to wipe out the army first before I place the seal.” Raven replied, ”You see, the tainted seal is connected to the other side. Once we broke it, I'm certain that they'll be alarmed. Additionally, it'll take some time for me to place the seals. Depending on the situation, it might take me anywhere from, five to thirty minutes.”

”Speaking of the army, can our really match-up to theirs?” Jessamine couldn't help but stare at the soldiers who were om standby around her. ”We're severely out numbered. Even if we could boost their capabilities, how long can they even last? They're bound to be tired. Plus, they've been for a month already.”

Her words caused the others to re-consider their state once more. Raven couldn't help but sigh, actually he noticed this problem too. Unfortunately he's out of ideas.

Just like Logan said, the devil army looked like they're going to invade anytime soon. Even they couldn't tell how much time they have left before they descend.

Everyone was silent for a bit. There was doubting that their situation remains dire. They don't haven enough man power even with the War Gods around.

It would've been fine if neither the Sin's Children or the Sin the say, wouldn't descend but right now, they can't tell whether they plan on doing so or not. It's very likely that they will since sending this huge amount of devils would just cause chaos. They need someone to lead them and the Sin's Children fits that position.

From what they saw earlier, there's at least nine or ten Sin's Children behind the massive troop of devils. Their main force were Raven, Kyrie, Anastasia and the War Gods. This line up aren't enough to deal with the enemy, and that's not even including the fact that a Sin might be personally coming down as well.

They were outnumbered, yet again they just can't retreat.

The situation looks bad.

”How about we do it this way...”

”…”

-Greece-

*Dong!* *Dong!* *Dong!*

Every Inner Disciples who were roaming around Greece were alarmed by what sounded like enormous church bells echoing in every corner of the plane itself.

They all looked over to towards the tallest mountain within this plane which could be seen wherever anyone was.

”What's going on?”

”Crap that's loud!”

”What's happening?”

”Calm down everyone.” One student shouted amplifying his voice with energies in order for everyone to hear him. ”That sound is some sort of a notice to all Inner Disciples. It sounded five times in total which means that there is an Emergency Mission. Wait for the announcement.”

Hearing this caused most of the Inner Disciples to calm down. Some were either annoyed, curious, apprehensive and etc. Other's not so much…

”Ahem…”

A rasp sound of someone clearing their throat sounded next to their ears, causing some disciples to jump in surprise.

”Everyone, listen carefully.” The rasp voice said. ”My name is Benjamin, Executive Elder of the Mission Hall. I am here to announce that there is an Emergency Mission issued by five War Gods.”
