1499 Bloody Nailisi Part 2 (1/2)

Nailisi's combat prowess was higher than that of Rafel, but Rafel was familiar with commanding armies in large scale battles, and Nailisi was more suited to act as a weapon. Rafel was the one in charge, and there was always Jason looming above, so Nailisi did not dare to defy either of their orders.

The Winged Skull had nothing to say about the arrangement. Saleen let both the Winged Skull and Nailisi back onto Myers Mainland, yet the Winged Skull still did not feel safe. They felt as if there was a sword hanging above their head, which could have fallen at any given moment.

Rafel went to select her troops. Nailisi followed gleefully, but the Winged Skull stopped her. He then said to Nailisi, ”You don't have to be in a hurry when the battle starts. This is only round two. There are tens of billions of god creatures in the Lord of Glory's divine kingdom, you...”

”I know, I'll do my best this time. If too many people on Myers Mainland end up dead, master wouldn't be happy,” Nailisi said.

Wars always came with casualties, but mages were leaning towards taking the fight at higher levels to solve that problem. If every single battle were to see deaths in the hundreds of thousands all the time, a plane's power would have grown increasingly weak as time passed.

Low-level warriors also served as the foundation of a plane. If all living beings in a plane were to end up dead, then the professionals would have lost their backing as well.

That was something that had to do with a plane's power of the Source. Every single living being actually carried a part of a plane's Source power. As such, when gods amassed believers, they actually absorbed a bit of Source powers as well, which caused the downfall of a plane.

While Nailisi had been a loose cannon with her way of doing things at times, she nonetheless knew what mattered to Saleen.

If a plane's Source power were to all be taken away by a god, then it would have spelled doom for said plane, and no powerful being could have continued to exist on it either.

If the mages were to ignore that, then all planes would have ended up being taken by the gods. By then, the only way out would be to become a god's believer, joining a divine kingdom, and spending one's days singing praises to a god.

The Winged Skull saw Nailisi's eyes brimming and determined, so they did not say anything more to advise her. The Winged Skull then told Nailisi, ”Be careful, then. Don't get into fights with the Lord of Glory if you run into him. You're still no match for him.”

Nailisi smirked and said, ”I'm better at running than anything. Do you not know that I'm an imp? Back in the demon plane, the first thing we learned after we were born was how to run.”

The Winged Skull shook their head, exasperated. They knew well that Nailisi would not have run. If the Lord of Glory were to actually show up, she would have at least attempted to fight him once so as to discover what the Lord of Glory was actually capable of.

Rafel quickly assembled an army consisting of 50000 flying units. The Winged Skull, Nailisi, and 200 metal angels were added to the force. Rafel took the Violet Angel, who took the form of a golden dragon and went to take the lead at the forefront.

There were no fortresses outside the gates, only large camps being set up one after another.

When Rafel charged forward somewhere near a large camp, thousands of angels took flight and surrounded them. She was about to beat the War Drum of Fear when she was targeted by two angels who were over a dozen meters tall. Rafel swung her Inferno Spear about and fought those two. The War Drum of Fear was left on the back of the Violet Angel, which the Violet Angel then went on to beat.

However, the effects that time were lackluster. Tens of thousands of holy masters chanted prayers in the camps of the divine army. White holy light shrouded the place, and the power of the War Drum of Fear was unable to make it into the camps.

But then again, the low-level warriors within the camps did not dare to come out and fight as well. The War Drum of Fear was not some very high-level equipment, and it was definitely not a godly item. However, it had a very large area-of-effect, and anything below level nine would have been affected.

The angels up in the sky were actually also affected; it was just that they were still able to fight despite the influence.

”Bones, aren't we...” Nailisi began to speak.

Nailisi pointed at the divine kingdom's gates. The Winged Skull shook their head and said, ”A million.”

”Alright then, a million each it is.” Nailisi was supposed to help Rafel out at that moment and take out the two archangels instead of going off on her own.

The Winged Skull knew what Nailisi intended to do right from the start and that there was no stopping her. As such, they simply set a number, which meant that she needed to stop after killing a million creatures in the divine kingdom.

While that number looked massive, there were hundreds of millions of angels gathering behind those gates. One large scale magic spell could have easily killed thousands.

The Lord of Glory underestimated the power of Myers Mainland, and the vanguards sent were comparatively weak.

The only way the Winged Skull could think of to put a leash on Nailisi was to limit the number of her kills.

Nailisi went on to double said number, and the Winged Skull was able to do nothing but go along with it. It was fortunate that they were not fighting alone. The Winged Skull summoned huge numbers of spirits while Nailisi commanded a massive amount of demons from her Purgatory of the Devils.

”Heh... Haahh!”

Nailisi shouted excitedly and took her devil form in the air, charging into the divine kingdom's gates. The Winged Skull brandished their Reaper Scythe and followed closely behind.

Nailisi's devil form at present no longer had too many things that looked out of place. It simply looked like a supreme demon who had been enlarged. There were two horns on her head, and she wore armor that looked as though it was as thick as castle walls.

The weapon in her hand was no longer Grey Memory, but a huge longsword. The height of her devil form neared 30 meters at present. The length of her sword was slightly longer than her devil form, which measured in at about 45 meters. According to the classifications of such a weapon relative to her size, she looked as if she was holding a horse-cutter sword.

That greatsword in her hand was the first weapon she crafted on her sword, which was actually an enlarged version of the Sword of Rules. There were 24 rules on the Sword of Rules, which, when infused with 12-dimensional metal by Nailisi, expanded to the size it was currently. The amount of wrought gold added was massive.
