Chapter 495: Ambush
Chapter 495: Ambush
Zatiel and Ezequiel have spent more than five years inside the Bloodthorn Forest. Despite their small power, compared with the mighty Supernova Domain existences, they have become very famous, although the word infamous would be more accurate.
More than one thousand eldritch life forms have perished under their hands. The Eldritch Race did not find a single trace of their comrades’ bodies or souls left, and it was as if the enemy had erased every piece of their existence.
If they knew the truth, they would have used the word “devour” in their reports.
Although the Eldritch Race had a repulsive and unaesthetic appearance, they were not mindless monsters, and their wisdom did not fall behind the Prima Universe’s life forms.
After several investigations, the Tier 1 Eldritch Stronghold figured out the responsible were two individuals, one with a mastery over the souls and illusions and the other with a melee battle style.
They also discovered that the enemy duo’s power bordered the Primary Sun Domain Stage and that their perception was superior to their battle power.
The Tier 1 Eldritch Stronghold sent many eldritch hunting squads after the duo, some of them with Supernova Domain powerhouses, but all came empty-handed.
It did not take long for the Eldritch Stronghold to figure out that the duo could perceive high energy fluctuations, like those released by powerful Rank 6 life forms, and chose to change to a different section of the Bloodthorn Forest whenever that happened.
With the Prima-Eldritch Universe Final Battlefield’s laws hindering perception and the Bloodthorn Forest’s volcanic trees affecting their senses, the Eldritch Stronghold found it very hard to locate the duo.
Of course, that did not mean they would give up, and the Eldritch Stronghold just needed to find a more creative way to handle their enemies.
…
In a remote area of the Bloodthorn Forest, an Eldritch with a goat head, lion body, and putrefactive bat wings attempted to run away from an invisible threat.
He was a Peak Hollow Sun Domain Stage existence, and something ripped off the lower half of his body.
White lightning permeated his wounds, and it seemed to be devouring the eldritch life form’s blood, energy, and body, making itself stronger.
Before the creature could fly for long, a humanoid covered in white lightning and flaming red aura appeared above him and unleashed a barrage of blows, all of them enhanced by Terminus Force.
The Eldritch’s body did not resist this new attack and shattered. A black entity emerged from the Eldrtich’s head and ran away that same instant.
When the white humanoid saw the True Self escaping, he did not chase. Instead, he opened his mouth, forming a sort of black hole that consumed until the last drop of blood from the Eldritch’s remains.
The True Self advanced less than one thousand meters when a winged humanoid appeared in front of him. When the black figure saw the hand covered in Mind Force about to seal him, madness appeared on his face instead of fear.
That reaction made the winged man’s eyes narrow. He knew the Eldritch’s True Self would not be able to self-destruct before being sealed, so that response made no sense.
It was then that the winged man’s right eye detected something with the form of a pearl within the True Self. Before he could do anything, this artifact activated, using the energy in the black figure to create a spatial wave.
Teleportation was very difficult inside the Prima-Eldritch Universe Final Battlefield, especially for eldritch life forms who lacked control over the laws.
That spatial wave could be used for assisting teleportation, as a beacon in the darkness, but the ones using it needed to be very close.
Six entities teleported around the duo after the True Self sacrificed himself to activate the artifact. They immediately used their power to seal the surroundings.
Four of the eldritch life forms were at the Early Primary Sun Domain Stage. They resembled a giant skeleton with knight armor and spikes instead of hands, a formless fog carrying immense burning power, a massive ball of fire with a mouth full of sharp teeth, and an eye with long tentacles.
The other two were at the Middle Primary Sun Domain Stage, and unlike their comrade, their bodies were not gigantic. Instead, both were fifteen meters tall.
One had a humanoid body with four spider legs coming from his hips. The other, whose aura almost reached the Late Primary Sun Domain Stage, resembled a three-headed human covered in a black substance with an oversized right claw.
Anyone could understand what just happened. The Tier 1 Eldritch Stronghold was aware of their enemies’ scanning abilities, so they sent baits in the form of Hollow Sun Domain existences, who carried an artifact capable of forming a spatial wave.
Since they did not know where the duo would be, they deployed those baits all over the Bloodthorn Forest. Hunting troops containing Primary Sun Domain existence were close enough to detect and use the spatial wave, but not so much as for the enemy to perceive them.
The eldritch life forms’ eyes glowed with killing intent and viciousness as they surrounded the duo.
However, a somber expression appeared on their faces the next second when they saw the duo’s reaction.
They displayed surprise for a moment when they arrived, meaning the ambush was a success, but now, instead of fear or dread, what appeared in their eyes was excitement and the thrill of battle.
“¡MYRIAD!”
“¡ENTROPY!”
The duo roared simultaneously, taking the initiative, and the eldritch life forms saw how two giant creatures emerged from their heads.
One of the creatures had a draconic head with six eyes that combined Rebirth Eyes and Underworld Flaw Crow’s eyes. His upper body resembled a leviathan with a demonic snake tail and six massive feathered wings.
There was bone armor covering this creature, and burning purple runes enveloped every piece of it.
The other creature took the form of a moon of electrified white blood covered in majestic magic matrices. For a moment, the eldritch life forms saw the illusion of a fantastic beast inside the blood.
He had the head of a wolf with two large horns, twelve feathered wings, the body of a dragon, and white fur.
“ROAR!”
“ARRR!”
Sanctus Bestia Entropy and Myriad Doomsday Rebirth Avatar were sublime entities born with the help of First Order Bloodlines. Even the eldritch life forms felt awe when they first saw them.
However, soon they regained their battle state when the moon of blood fused with one of the enemies and saw how the winged humanoid merged with the heart of the other creature.
Despite being surprised, the duo showed no fear and was ready to unleash their full power. The eldritch life forms felt their enemies were delighted by the opportunity to test their strength.
