Second World

Chapter 1873. Celestial Dragon Lifeforce

Satan chuckled. "Not bad, human mage. Let me give you a spell in return."

Satan cast Infernal Flame Wrath. Multiple giant fireballs rushed toward the mobile fortress. Emris cast Ice Wall. The Sentinels, Paladins, and spellcasters inside the mobile fortress used their defensive skills and spells. These skills and spells were blasted to smithereens when the fireballs exploded after crashing into them.

More than half of the fireballs landed on the mobile fortress. Each explosion sent the mobile fortress staggering back. Its rune diagram flared brightly while its shield dimmed. Three of its eight legs broke. The people inside the mobile fortress fell to the floor while the entire fortress shook.

Satan was laughing when he saw the mobile fortress getting pushed back. The demons from his rear uttered a war cry as they charged forward. Many demons at the front perished when Emris' Tri-Elemental Cataclysm hit the area. They were now charging toward the mobile fortress, which its protective shield almost ran out. Satan also walked forward.

But before they could get far, a huge golden lightning slammed into them from the sky. The lightning explosion sent all the demons flying away.

What had landed was a titanic lightning being, or so they thought.

"Hehe, finally going all out, eh?" Satan chuckled.

After a closer inspection, everyone could see Honuren inside this humanoid titan made of lightning. This was the skill he saved for an emergency, Lightning Titan Suit. With the mobile fortress in danger, it could be counted as an emergency.

"Eoranth! Let's do it!" Honuren yelled as he charged forward.

With the lightning titan suit, he was almost as big as Satan. The two now traded blows from close range. Honuren could still cast spells from inside his lightning titan suit. The lightning titan fought Satan with its fists while Honuren's spells assailed the devil non-stop.

Satan sensed something coming at him from the side. Something that emitted a powerful aura. More powerful than any opponent he had faced since the war started. He failed to block in time because Honuren kept him occupied, and this new opponent was very fast.

The impact sent him crashing to the ground. The momentum dragged him a considerable distance away, creating a long trail on the ground. He rose after the momentum stopped. He took a good look at his attacker.

It was not a new opponent. It was Eoranth. Yet, different. Eoranth was now covered in what looked like a spiky plate armor. His entire body was glowing silver.

"Hm… New skill?" Satan asked.

It was indeed a new skill. After countless dangerous battles against Satan, Eoranth had awakened his dormant power. A power that Broidrireg knew to slumber within Eoranth's bloodline. The skill Eoranth acquired was called Celestial Dragon Lifeforce.

Honuren and Eoranth originally planned to keep their skills secret until they ground Satan's HP to at least thirty percent. They hoped the surprise could throw Satan into disarray so they could use the chance to quickly deplete his remaining HP, but things didn't always go as planned. Satan's HP was still above eighty percent at the moment.

Eoranth charged forward. His charge created a silver shell that made him look like a silver meteor.

Satan didn't back down. He also lunged forward. The two titans crashed into one another. Their impact caused a slight distortion in the space around them. Before, Eoranth would have been sent flying back from the collision. This time, he stood his ground.

Honuren didn't stay idle. With the lightning titan suit, he joined Eoranth in a melee battle against Satan. He also cast the spell that conjured multiple giant silver sabers. He used mana manipulation to control these silver sabers to fly around his lightning titan suit. Each slash from these sabers caused soul damage.

For the first time, the defenders saw Satan getting forced to step back from a confrontation. Their morale ignited from this single scene. Their war cries shook the air.

All of a sudden, a huge black hole appeared where Eoranth was. The black hole's appearance was so sudden that Eoranth didn't get the chance to react. He was devoured by the black hole and vanished. He appeared a great distance away in the middle of the demon army. Several of the demons were eternal grades. There was also the eternal-grade Hell Demolisher, whom Eoranth fought on the first day. They swarmed at him.

With only Honuren left, he couldn't hold Satan at bay. Satan's flaming hammer struck his lightning body. He flung back from the impact.

"Grrhh…! Why did you interfere…!!!" Satan roared while stomping his feet repeatedly. Lava erupted around him.

His wrath was not directed at his enemies but at the one who had teleported Eoranth away. It was the eyeball demon who was by his side during the march. This eyeball demon used Void Displacement Eye to teleport Eoranth to where most of the strong demons were gathering.

Everyone was used to Satan's tantrum by now. He could appear calm and taunting at one second, then turn into someone who threw a fit in the next second. The eyeball demon was also aware of his lord's behavior. It didn't appear perturbed when Satan came stomping at him menacingly.

It calmly spoke to the approaching Satan, "My Lord, I saw that silver dragon preparing to do something. Whatever it was, I fear you won't like it."

"Really?" Satan turned to Eoranth, who was battling the other demons.

"Tch!" Honuren, who heard the conversation, lamented the missed opportunity. Eoranth could perform a powerful secret offensive skill when he was under the Celestial Dragon Lifeforce, but he needed time. He could also only use it once per battle. Now that Satan was aware, it was unlikely for them to score a successful hit.

Satan's fuming tantrum was seemingly gone from that simple explanation. The eyeball demon wasn't surprised by this. He was used to Satan's mood swings.

"Are you sure? I did sense his mana increasing, but nothing to be concerned about," Satan said.

"I'm not sure. I simply made a calculated judgment based on what I saw. From what I saw, I knew he was up to something. You can trust my eye because my eye…"

"Is the only thing you are proud of, bla bla bla. I know. You, pathetic eyeball."

"That was mean, My Lord."

"I'm Satan. What do you expect? Don't you dare interfere again! I mean it, Dajja. I won't let you off if you do it again."

"As you wish, My Lord," Dajja replied.

Honuren was standing between Satan and the mobile fortress. The mobile fortress was limping away with its broken legs.

Satan looked between Honuren, the mobile fortress, and Eoranth who was still hindered by the other demons.

"I enjoy fighting the two of you together. It gives me a small sense of thrill… Well, whatever." The air behind him exploded. He charged forward once he was done speaking. Flames covered his whole body. He shot at Honuren, leaving a trail of fire.

The lightning titan suit sent its fist forward. Lightning gathered around that fist, turning it into an extremely dense lightning fist. Honuren himself was casting a spell from inside the suit. 𝔣𝖗𝔢𝔢𝔴𝖊𝖇𝖓𝔬𝔳𝖊𝔩.𝔠𝔬𝖒

*WHAM!*

Satan's flaming hammer collided with the condensed lightning fist. The collision sent fire and lightning everywhere. Honuren cast his spell. Hundreds of soul darts stabbed into Satan, but they were unable to penetrate Satan's skin because they were blocked by a defensive layer filled with runic symbols.

Honuren focused his mana manipulation. He could also modify a skill's form like Satan and Jack. Several soul darts turned sharper and did drilling motions. These drilling soul darts successfully pierced through Satan's defense and caused him damage.

Satan didn't seem to care about the little damage he suffered. While Honuren was busy trying to get through his defense, Satan made another swing. The fire that formed his hammer changed shape and became an axe. The sharp end of the axe cleaved into the Lightning Titan Suit's head.

The flames raging around Satan's body were a buff skill. His power was stronger than before. The lightning that formed the head of Honuren's lightning titan suit was unraveled. The suit was now without a head.

Honuren didn't stop just because his suit lost its head. The titan's fist continued punching Satan while he cast spells.

Satan didn't back away from the punches. His flaming axe now transformed into a spear, which he thrust right into the lightning titan suit's chest.

Luckily, Honuren saw the stab. He was already wary when he saw Satan's flaming axe destroyed his suit's head. Similarly, his suit was unable to block Satan's flaming spear. He veered away just as the flaming spear pierced his lightning suit. Otherwise, he would also be pierced by the spear.

"Tip, call your guild guardians to help Honuren. He can't fight Satan alone!" Linda called.

Arlcard and Emris were back to protecting the mobile fortress that was moving away from Satan. Many powerful demons came to attack the fortress after seeing it nearly lost its shield. They couldn't aid Honuren.

Eoranth was still hindered by the demons. Dajja had also joined the fight there. Satan asked it not to interfere, but since Satan wasn't fighting Eoranth, this didn't count as interfering. Dajja had many troublesome eye skills that kept Eoranth on edge.

"They are all occupied!" Tip replied, "… But I think I can task our new guild hero. He just slayed the eternal-grade demon he was fighting. I'm calling him over now."
