Chapter 210 – Kuruela the Fallen Angel 5 (1/2)

“It seems like it gained greater power before it fell from grace, probably after using forbidden knowledge or something,” Sieg answered in a deadpan manner while looking at the descending fallen angel.

The source of the coming apocalypse that crushed the Valkyrie and the Dragon Slayer.

Now, Woohyuk had to fight desperately against this being.

“Everyone moves according to plan. From now on, I can’t afford to chat.”

Woohyuk summoned Verserios and announced the start of the operation.

Sieg commanded the ally forces on the ground while riding Grane.

Helena and Maria stood in the backlines and protected the main forces.

The rest were supposed to focus their attack on the fallen angel, Cruella, using teleportation to attack and retreat in succession.

As Woohyuk’s party moved, the two priests leading the Imperial Army drew their holy swords.

“For the peace of the Empire!” Hildegard, Paladin of Flurry, shouted.

“Honorable death!” Ishrei, the Paladin of Freezing, yelled aloud.

The fact was that these two were essentially the main force of the summoned Imperial forces.

The Imperial Army soldiers’ morale was raised because of the example set by these two Paladins, so the Imperial Army soldiers raised their weapons and burned with fervor to enter the war.

“Wahhhhhhhhh!”

“Let’s defeat the fallen angel!”

Currently, Cruella had pulled out about half her body from the space and time warp gap.

Numerous magic spheres and arrows were flung towards her visible body.

However, the Cruella neutralized all the attacks with a translucent veil…

[… How annoying. Die.]

Raising her left hand’s index finger, she created a large black magic circle in the air.

Eventually, meteorites wrapped in flames poured out of the red-colored sky like heavy rain, and a scene that could only be seen in the depths of hell unfolded on the battlefield.

“Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!”

“S-Save me!”

The earth was scorched as meteorites pounded onto the ground and burned everything in their vicinity.

The previously orderly battle line was in utter shambles and screams from soldiers could be heard everywhere.

However, that wasn’t the end.

Cruella’s red eyes flashed, and thousands of demons popped out of her body and ravaged the soldiers who had luckily survived the first attack.

The demon forces were overwhelmingly destructive, enough to be called a catastrophe in and of themselves.

Seeing all of this unfold in front of her, Hildegard, the Paladin of Flurry, looked frustrated.

“This is… a fallen angel?” Hildegard said in a dumbfounded voice.

Ishrei, the Paladin of Freezing, laughed in a resigning manner, sympathizing with Hildegard.

“Maybe today will be our expiration date.”

The two Paladins wielded their holy swords and attacked like crazy, cutting off countless demons and beasts’ heads that blocked their view.

But that was all.

The demons and beasts that were cut down continued to regenerate, and no matter how hard they struggled against these regenerating opponents, the status quo remained.

“Where is the Hero King…?”

“He was standing in the frontline with his colleagues. I’m pretty sure he’s doing his part.”

The two couldn’t afford to worry about others right now.

While the two Paladins were fighting, Woohyuk and Brynhildr were making a pathway through the air toward Cruella.

Slice!

Slice!

Following the trajectory of his long spear, the demons were cut into pieces and fell down into a pile below.

Behind them, Roan, whose seal was completely lifted, summoned his transcendental weapon, Ragnor.

Depending on the situation, Roan was changing the shape of the Ragnor weapon and removing the threats approaching the party from the rear.

[You guys… I don’t much like you…]

Cruella narrowed her eyebrows and raised her index finger towards Woohyuk’s advancing party.

Then, a purple ray, like a shot from a giant particle cannon, was fired along the movement of the index finger and seemingly swallowed up the party.

Kwa-Kwa-Kwa-Kwa-Kwa-Kwa-Kwa-Kwa-Kwang!

This was the same technique that Hevnia had shown Woohyuk before.

Woohyuk’s party waited for the bombing to cease, relying on Brynhildr’s guardianship defensive barrier to take care of the oncoming onslaught.

“Isn’t it time to start using Roan? Cruella’s attacks are getting worse.”

“I was just thinking of doing that before you mentioned it.”

Roan, a Gluttony Homunculus, was able to fully use his existing abilities when all his seals were unsealed.

The Ragnor Weapon was one of those abilities.

Since it was a transcendental weapon, it was possible to break the barriers of the Gods and absorb the opponent’s skills while inflicting fatal damage.

If Roan could use his Ragnor Weapon to strike a critical blow on Cruella…

‘It may be able to restrict Cruella from being able to use her cloning ability.’

In the future shown by Hevnia, Cruella’s cloning ability was so powerful that even Verserios, the demon’s exclusive weapon, could be cloned and used against him.

Her cloning ability made it quite difficult for Woohyuk to get close enough to her somehow for a final blow.

This was why Hevnia told him to use Roan in the battle against Cruella.

‘This time, I’ve prepared everything, so I’ll be able to get it done.’

Honestly, it would have been nice if they even had the support of the Dragon Tribes, but they were unable to intervene in this cataclysmic event because of the ancient covenant.

There was also a possibility of accidentally being influenced by Cruella and turning into demonic dragons.

Therefore, the Seven Demon Kings sealed in Lemegeton and the other artifacts currently in his possession were very important.

In particular, the Absorber Trigger and Lilith's Unholy Grail were very useful in this situation.

“Brynhildr, it would be better to cancel your defensive barrier now. If we keep standing here in one place, Cruella could change the pattern and launch an unexpected attack.”

“Alright. But when will you use your hidden card?”

“At the decisive moment.”

In the last mock battle, Woohyuk didn’t use the Absorber Trigger and Lilith’s Unholy Grail.

The opponent was so strong that he didn’t have time to bring them out and use them nor did he feel the need or importance to use them.

Rather than using tricks, he had aimed for an opening to launch an all-out attack. However, Cruella, the Fallen Angel, didn’t easily give him any openings to exploit.

This time around, Woohyuk decided to use all of the available means at his disposal to increase the chances of winning, even if it was only by a little.

Soon, when Brynhildr’s defensive barrier was about to be removed, Woohyuk immediately summoned the seven Demon Kings who resided within Lemegeton.
