Chapter 1701 Castle of Beauty II
Chapter 1701 Castle of Beauty II
“Destroy the wings!” Numerous guild masters shouted as their guild members that could fly suddenly charged fearlessly towards the Castle of Beauty.
“It seems to be charging much slower than before which means that it has yet to be fully energized.” Adrian observed as the light elemental mana particles were not getting collected at the previous fast pace.
Players that could not fly chanted spells that could reach great heights as they needed to stop the Castle of Beauty. The players knew that another attack from the Castle of Beauty might destroy more durability from the Hell Gate as there were almost no devil nobility left to defend it. The players of the devil side army will be on their own should all the devil nobility die.
“Greater Summon: Charon”
“Greater Summon: Kanlaon”
“Greater Summon: Dodu”
Adrian summoned three of his soulbounds and flew on Kanlaon’s back. Just like the other players with the ability to fly, he went straight for the wings. The angels that were already flying saw Adrian charging towards the Castle of Beauty and specifically aimed for him.
All of the angels heard the cursing of their goddess towards the demon as he was able to consume of her divinity. The angels instantly knew that they would get praises from their beloved goddess if they killed the demon. They were still unaware that Jorikiel will never be alive again as the angels thought that he would get blessed once he fully revives.
“Charon, make sure to create a web of chains that lock all of the angels flying about.” Adrian commanded as he could see that the angels flying towards him were only those with one pair of wings.
“As master, wills.” Charon replied as he suddenly reverted to his original size and released numerous chains around.
The chains that hit the angels made them lose part of their momentum. Charon’s chains apply a slow that becomes more powerful with the more time that the chains are attached. The angels that could not become fragments of light are all caught and were easily dispatched by the players that were also flying.
Jophiel could see everything from the eyes of the Castle of Beauty as they knew that the demon is aiming for the power source of the castle. Jophiel wanted to go out and kill Adrian at this very moment, but the Castle of Beauty is also relying on her power right now as they used their mana to fire another Holy Light Cannon.
“Are the preparations not finished?” Jophiel asked the angels around them as the target is already before them.
“We can fire it now, but it will not be as powerful as a fully charged blast.” One of the angels replied.
“I do not care! Fire!” Jophiel shouted as they wanted to kill Adrian as fast as possible.
Adrian saw the Castle of Beauty fire off its cannon and smiled because that is what he wanted. He only summoned his other soulbounds to make it seem like he no longer uses his mirrors. He wanted to fool the angel players into thinking that he did not have the power to reflect the attack that he absorbed before.
Adrian immediately transformed into his mirror demon form which the angel players noticed. The angel players wanted to warn Jophiel about the incoming danger, but everything was too fast. Adrian feud all of his mirrors together back again and fired off the powerful energy that it had absorbed earlier when he tried to defend the Hell Gate.
“Have a taste of your own medicine!” Adrian stated as his large mirror released the energy that it absorbed earlier.
The beam of light that came out of Adrian’s mirror almost equaled that of the power that came out of the Castle of Beauty. Seeing that it was not enough as he only absorbed parts of it instead of all of it, Adrian commanded Kanlaon to fire off his breath attack as well. A golden beam of light came out of Kanlaon’s mouth as it fused with the beam of light coming out of Adrian’s mirror.
The Holy Light Cannon from the Castle of Beauty and Adrian’s attack aided by Kanlaon are now completely equal. The angels could only push more power into the Castle of Beauty as they used more than before. The beam of light coming out of the Castle of Beauty suddenly started to grow much more powerful.
“We are slowly reaching maximum output!” One of the angels reported as they could see that Jophiel was actually the one exerting more light elemental mana.
Seeing their leader exert more, the other angels followed suit as they used more light elemental mana. The beam of light soon reached the maximum power output that was released earlier, and Adrian could no longer hold out. The other players saw this and aided Adrian with magic once more to fortify barriers around him.
The angels thought that they could win but they suddenly heard an explosion from one of the wings. The explosion actually came from one of the wings that are located below the Castle of Beauty where visibility is not that pronounced. They were now looking at the cause but only saw what it was when one of them directly checked. 𝘭𝒾𝑏𝓇𝘦𝒶𝘥.𝘤𝘰𝑚
“A slime monster is deteriorating the Castle of Beauty’s wings!” One of the angels that checked reported immediately as the angels bent light to get a view of Dodu eating the white marble.
The Holy Light Cannon that grew big suddenly started to become smaller by a bit as the magic system integrated into the Castle of Beauty started to fail. The Castle of Beauty’s magic circle system was set up to follow symmetry which makes any attacks from it be very lethal. The only downside would be that the entire system fails should one part becomes destroyed or misaligned.
“Destroy the annoying parasite!” Jophiel announced but another loud explosion could be heard as another of the wings was destroyed.
“Another wing has been destroyed! The chained undead is responsible!” Charon stated as he actually helped but the ones that destroyed it was Solstice and Lycan.
Charon used his chains as a way for the vanguard units on their side to reach the top. This does not mean that all the devil army side knew what the intention was but Solstice and Lycan knew. The moment Charon’s chains reached the ground and connected to one of the Castle of Beauty’s wings was the sign.
Solstice and Lycan immediately started raising towards the sky with the chains as a foothold. The other players that saw this feat was amazed because they looked like anime protagonists. The other players soon followed as they saw more chains being attached to the Castle of Beauty as they wanted to deal with the annoying flying fortress.
“Checkmate!” Adrian stated as he teased Jophiel.
The beam of light that was coming out of the Castle of Beauty started to weaken and it was now time for the devil side army players to counterattack. It was no longer just Adrian attacking but the mages on their side used powerful blast spells as well. Adrian’s attack that was only pushing the Holy Light Cannon back started to go forward even more.
Adrian’s attack plus the attack of the mages on their side managed to overpower the Holy Light Cannon as four of the angel wings were now destroyed. A loud explosion could be heard as the Castle of Beauty started crashing on the ground. Adrian thought that they have at least killed some of the angels inside the castle, but he was wrong.
A powerful barrier was wrapped around the control room as numerous angels shot up into the sky. Angels with four wings were the majority of those that were inside the Castle of Beauty but there was one that had six angelic wings and possessed great beauty. The angel that had six wings opened their wings wide as if to flex their pristine white color.
[You are before the Angel of the Chastity Virtue Jophiel.]
[You have resisted being infatuated due to your bloodline.]
“Everyone! Look away!” Adrian warned but it was too late because they have already gazed unto Jophiel’s body.
Jophiel smirked as they could see that the blessing that was given to him was extremely effective even against those that were tempted by demons. They knew that no lower being would be able to resist the charms and allure that they possess. They did not want to do so as making lower beings stare at their body is not beautiful in their vocabulary.
“Beautiful!”
“Marvelous!”
“So breathtaking!”
“Eh? The enemy is not that beautiful.”
Words of affirmation of Jophiel’s innate beauty could be heard but there was one that broke it. It was none other than the Prince of the Undead Creepysoo. Gazes of anger could be seen piercing through his undead body, but he did not find Jophiel even the least bit attractive.
