Not long after he told the Elves to teleport him as far as possible and he found himself falling to the ground from an altitude of over 10,000 meters.
pαпᵈα-noνɐ1.сoМ His range of perception was unleashed and a wry smile blossomed on his lips as he figured where exactly he was located...or would fall soon. But he was not worried in the slightest.
'Angel Kingdom here I am!'
Nial found hundreds of Angels below him. All of them were heading to the same direction, which was more than enough reason for him to alter his direction as well.
He allowed one of his new Devils to emerge from the Heart of Darkness before he landed on its back. It was a humongous Roc with a wingspan of more than a thousand meters that emerged beneath Nial and he grasped the darkness that oozed out of it tightly. The Roc shot through the air, pulling Nial with it as they passed by the Angels who looked up when the massive shadow of the Devilized Roc reached them.
However, before they could even shout out loudly to warn their comrades, they noticed that something had emerged from within the Shadows of the huge beast that continued to loom over them.
Nial had shrouded his body in darkness before he began to execute the Grasp of Eclipse technique. He retrieved a fencing saber from his spatial ring and activated the forgotten runic constellations engraved on it by injecting his dark energy. The flexible blade stiffened and it began to vibrate rapidly while mantling itself with several layers of Nial's dark energy.
Nial jumped through the Devilized Roc's shadows and he emerged in front of the strongest Elite Angel in his proximity.
"How are we doing today, little birdie?" He asked the Angel with a bright smile while thrusting the fencing saber forward. A huge shield of light manifested in front of the Angel, blocking the incoming attack before it could affect him. The Elite Angel at the Peak of the Keltia rank took a moment to overcome the shock about the sudden appearance of an opponent in the heart of their territory.
That ought to be impossible, yet, it had happened. Nial ignored the holy shield that had manifested in front of him as the vibrating fencing saber pierced a tiny hole into it. The fencing saber might not be good for anything else but it had a terrific destructive power when it came to compact and simple attacks.
The fencing saber pierced through the holy shield, which shattered a moment later. Following that, the Elite Angel issued an attack with sword manifested out of light. The attack cut through the exact spot Nial had been standing in just a moment earlier. However, it only cut through empty air and the outline of Nial's body manifested and compressed from the dark miasma of the Hodur's Heir Curse. As the Elite Angel cut through the compressed dark miasma, it burst open and unleashed a smokescreen in a radius of 50 meters.
The dark miasma had special properties that restricted the Elite Angel's senses, which resulted in the Original not realizing that more opponents had appeared all around it.
While Nial had reappeared behind the Elite Angel, a huge Eclipse Fire Lion and a few more Devils capable of flying had emerged around the Angel as well.
The Elite Angel didn't even know what was going on as it was already being torn apart, its life reaped by the darkness that seemed to devour it whole.
Nial didn't hesitate to eliminate the other Angels as well. It was not necessary for him to release any of his abilities as of now since his opponents were not even strong enough to fight against the Devils that were slowly emerging from within him.
Shadowmancer Dexter pursued the collapsing body while making use of his ability to materialize the Shadows of the deceased. A Shadow Angel was born not long after. It screamed out loudly and held its head tightly as if something or someone was clawing at its brain, altering its memories, behavior and beliefs.
Nial visualized this clearly but he was more focused on the Angels all around him that did not leave him much scope to observe the things Dexter was trying with the materialized Shadow of the Elite Angel.
He only realized that something interesting was happening when the Shadow Elite Angel emerged behind the last living Angel in their proximity a few minutes later. A spear manifested from Shadows had materialized in the Shadow Elite Angel's hand and it pierced the spear straight through the back of the Angel, puncturing his heart in the process.
Nial visualized the Shadow Elite Angel and he noticed a few things about the Shadow. Shadowmancer Dexter's shapeless body spread all over the ground to materialize the Shadows and remnants of the Angels that had been killed while Nial and his Devils were trying to fathom the difference between the normal Shadows and the Shadow Angels.
There seemed to be a big difference but Nial was not certain if he detected it properly.
"They retained their intelligence, didn't they?" Nial thus asked when Shadowmancer Dexter returned to his side with more than ten Shadow Angels in his Army of Shadow Monsters.
"It's more that their consciousness and instincts are still intact. I merely corrupted their outer shell or vessel by forcing the remnants of their Soul inside the materialized Shadows. There is not much to it." Dexter said offhandedly without bothering to explain the process behind the corruption of the Angels, let alone how remnants of their souls were fused with the materialized Shadow.
"Whatever, let's go!" Nial ordered, knowing that now was not the time to ask questions. Right now, they had to let actions speak. With that in mind, they returned to the Devilized Roc's back where their journey to find Bella continued.
Nial was able to visualize several thousand sources of mana from further away. The sources of mana mostly belonged to the Angels, but he could also visualize three somewhat familiar sources of mana a bit further away.
They were clashing while the Angels joined every now and then, harming two of the three mana sources. At least they were trying to harm, or possibly even kill the sources of mana, just to fail miserably.
"Hurry up!" Nial instructed the Roc whose speed went up a notch in an instant. It didn't take long before they reached the battlefield where the mana in the surrounding area was disturbed and chaotically swirling around.
Ignoring the mana, Nial unleashed all of his Devils. His head flicked to Shadowmancer Dexter, who merely nodded his head before an Army of more than a hundred thousand Shadow Monsters was unleashed.
The Shadow Monster Army might not be as grand as the army that had stormed through the High Mythician Dungeon if one were to look at the numbers only, but the small army was certainly stronger. Most Shadow Monsters were either at the Peak of the Deux-rank in terms of strength, or at the Low Keltia rank. There were also more than a hundred Mythician Shadow Monsters that were powerful enough to face Mythician Angels as long as they were in a duel.
As Nial unleashed his subordinates and the subordinates of his subordinates, his expression was slowly changing. Sensing the somewhat familiar source of mana from Bella, his dark energy was going wild. It wanted to taste the blood of the woman who had wrongfully taken one of his beloved.
