Chapter 548: War (II) (1/2)

Asphodel rumbled due to the intensity of the battle.

Humans versus Devils. It was a great clash. A Holy War.

Streaks of lights, sparks of weapons clashing, battle cries and mournful wails could be heard everywhere.

Just like what they said earlier, the number of Devils are insane. Millions of them poured through and charged at the disciples with reckless abandon. It didn't take long before Asphodel was littered with burning corpses of devils.

Yes, the disciples were greatly outnumbered. However for some reason, they weren't losing on the clash. In fact, they could tell that they're winning.

Those who were sharp figured out the reason why. It's all due to these burning white flames protecting them.

When they were informed that these flames were highly effective against devils, some people were actually doubtful at first. Everyone here was an Inner Disciples, meaning that they've been in the sect for quite sometime already. They knew how irritating these devils could get and just how slippery they were and tough their defenses are.

To their surprise however, in this great battle, they found out that slaying devils felt easier compared before. There were tons of devil variations here. Some they've fought before while others, they fought for the first time. Since everyone was experienced, they could easily feel the difference on the way how they killed them.

Not all disciples are dumb, they could easily connect the clues together. It didn't take them long before they understood that it was due to these Cleansing Flames.

With this newly acquired weapon, of course the disciples went all out. After all, who in the right mind wouldn't take advantage of this situation? Killing devils became easier thanks to the Cleansing Flames and the merit points they earn were doubled.

Only a fool would miss out on this chance.

”This is crazy…”

Someone uttered breathlessly as he watched the fierce war that's going on. He was levitating, allowing him to witness the incredibly scenes of the war.

”I know right? Who could've imagined something like this happening? Those abominations are truly getting craftier and craftier.” A female added as she too floated in the air.

”Are we even needed here?” Another guy asked.

”I don't think we are.” Someone answered. ”Look at them go! Our disciples are outnumbered but they're pushing the devils back.”

”Quick! Record this scene! We need to show this next time the Council Meeting occurs!”

These people who are looking down at the outrageous scene at Asphodel were people who wore deep black uniforms with red linings. Every single one of them wore a deep crimson badge at the right upper chest. They were also invisible to everyone's eyes.

Anyone who sees them would most likely turn incredibly respectful. Why? It's because these people were their glorious War Gods.

These people aren't Henry and the rest. They just arrived here at Asphodel just after the start of the War. These War Gods were reinforcements brought by Anastasia. There are four of them at the current moment. They were:

Charles Luther II the 'Crimson Spear War God.'

Celestine Agnes, the 'Dominatrix War God'.

Paolo Edmet, the 'Taotie War God'.

And Levi Cross, the 'King Roc War God'.

”Well, I think we should split, just in case there's an accident.” Charles suggested to his comrades. ”Who's willing to stay and monitor the situation here?”

”I'll do it.” Levi Cross raised his hand. ”With my speed and feathers, I'll be able to respond swiftly if anything goes wrong. You guys go towards the Pagoda. They need you there, leave this to me.”

”Alright, we'll trouble you then.” Charles nodded. Paolo then walked at Levi and said:

”Here, you continue recording this scene. You know how to use this right?”

”Why do I have to?” Levi grumbled.

”Come on, do it for me. Please? I'll give you a sloppy kiss later.”

”Scram!” Levi glared at him.

”Hihi. We're off then...” Paolo mischievously grinned as he flew towards the direction of the pagoda with the rest on tow. Levi merely shook his head and grumbled underneath his breath.

”Damn it. If you don't stay true to your words, then I swear I'll chop off your balls later. Hmph!”

”Gosh, this line-up is insane...” Kyrie muttered under her breath as she watched the raging battle from within the formation.
