Chapter 494 - 442 : Those Forgotten 2 (1/2)
When Katrina and the elder exchanged places, the Divine Beasts started having a hard time. An awakened White Specter which reached the Exalted God Realm is on whole other level than the old men they were fighting a while ago.
Furthermore, the matriarch was determined to dispose of the four Divine and permanently weaken the undead army. Sadly, just as she was about to attack them, she caught the sense of a very familiar person. Upon stretching her sense a bit further, she was shocked to see a bound Angelina, who was covered by Dark Magic and only her face could be sen, barely.
A pigolo was standing behind her daughter and staring right back at the matriarch with a fearless expression. He was certain of safety as long as Angelina is next to him. After all, Katrina wouldn't dare risk her daughter's life.
While clenching her teeth and glaring at Gutcha then at the four Divine Beasts, she backed down but still kept an eye on the enormous beasts, keeping them in check and blocking their way.
The situation reached a stalemate as the Divine Beasts surrounded Katrina while she crossed her arms and maintained her passive stance.
”Matriarch, what are you doing? Finish those pests.”
The old Archcardinal shouted at Matriarch while blocking the endless blue thunderbolts descending at him.
”I can't, they have my daughter as a hostage.”
”Tsk”
The old man clicked his tongue and pointed his cane at the four beasts before chanting a quick spell. The red sky above the Divine Beasts quickly became covered in arrows made of golden lights. The arrows rained down on the four monsters, however, they only lasted for a short time before a storm made of Death Energy absorbed half of them.
A violent and invisible gale of wind shattered the other half, ending this dangerous and swift spell of the Archcardinal. After deflecting the old man's attack, Radolf joined Astrith and Midolf stuck close to Saly.

”I hate annoying brats like you!”
The woman fighting Saly was seething with anger as a bloody injury could be seen on her shoulder. Her opponent was already covered in blood but she showed no signs of exhaustion, in fact, she became fiercer the more she fought, frightening the woman.
The disadvantageous situation of Saly was gone the moment Midolf joined the battle. His supportive skills and deadly attacks were exactly what the little girl needed.
”Don't worry about avoiding her attacks, just kicks her motherfucking ass.”
Midolf whispered into Saly's ears while gluing himself into her back and readying himself. Saly nodded her head, wiped the blood leaking out her lips and lunged at the annoyed woman.
Another thorny whip appeared on the woman's free hand, allowing her to attack the incoming little figure with two lightning-fast whips. The crisp sound of the swinging whips and their speed were just too much for Saly.
She closed her eyes and raised her hand, intending to receive the blow head-on only for her body to be pushed by a gentle gust of wind, surprisingly allowing her to dodge the snake-like whip.
The girl's fist started glowing with a silvery light which then went all the way to her shoulder and covered all of her arms. Midolf, who was on her back, used his wind skills to push her faster toward the enemy, rendering the enemy unable to back away in time or retract her whips to block.
Nonetheless, the woman was still an Exalted God, she let go of the whips and flashed a bracelet at the incoming Saly. A pink color emanated from the bracelet and within a split second, a pink dome enveloped the woman and protected her from the enemy.
Saly's bright fist clashed with the pink dome, shattering it instantly and hitting the woman's abdomen. Though the power behind Saly's punch was monstrous, it was still unable to heavily injure a Celestial Body.
Nevertheless, the woman was pushed back a few steps and held her stomach while groaning in pain. As for Saly, she jumped back and held her fist, feeling a bit of pain. It felt like she hit a metal wall rather than someone's body.

The Orb of the Fallen Overgods' spinning speed never ceased increasing. It was rotating so fast that it became hard to see it, furthermore, a pillar of light was unleashed by the orb, piercing the bloody canopy and continuing all the way up, seemingly about to grab the high heavens.
