Chapter 531 - Assassinate the 9th Infernal Lord!
In the many battles occurring throughout the Novus Galaxy, very few in particular were ones that many of the higher ups of both sides watched.
The battle taking place at the stronghold that was known as the Verittas Fortress was one of the few that took the center of attention for many!
Powerful beings from both sides were currently watching as two Celestial Legions led an assault towards this fortress, the eyes of many on the dominant 9th Infernal Lord as they prepared to watch just how extensive his abilities were.
The Grand Mage Edrusim was in the busy command room of the Mages Tower as he pulled the illusory feed of this battle in front of his eyes, gazing towards the tens of thousands of unique undead creatures that the Infernal Lord was summoning on top of the 5 World Rank beings.
His perceptive eyes caught the unique aura of fate and chaos on these undead as he shook his head incredulously, his eyes fully absorbed into the scene as the twelve Celestial Commanders did not mince any words and rushed forward, the two Legions behind them following along as the two sides clashed!
Edrusim was prepared to watch another blood pumping battle as he observed the scenes of the Verittas Fortress, and it was actually shaping up to be such a battle. The Celestial Legion clashed with the numerous undead, Infernals, Vampyres, and Mages as those with keen eyes could observe them being pushed back, their power visibly not being able to especially withstand the forces of Vampyres and modified Undead that held the aura of two Supreme Laws.
But the battle was shaping up to be a wild one as a majority of the World rank Celestial Commanders swarmed towards the 9th Infernal Lord who was surrounded by him summoned creatures.
The Infernal Lord had a calm smile on his face as he prepared to move, but it was at this time that something drastic happened!
Something that brought shock and horror to all those watching took place as all known and established norms of Wars were broken on this day!
---
In the starry expanse of space near the Verittas Fortress, 8 World Rank Celestial Commanders had surrounded the heavily protected Infernal Lord, the other Commanders going on to match the experts defending the Verittas Fortress.
If one was perceptive enough, they would notice cold smiles on the face of the Commanders at this moment, but none of this would matter for what was to come.
These 8 Commanders raised their hands in the air as if they were about to cast powerful abilities, many watching with rapt eyes to see what colorful skill the Infernal Lord would use to defend, but it was at this instant that something drastic occurred!
ZIING!
It felt like a droning sound that scratched ones ears, and it only registered a millisecond later as widening eyes watched the sudden appearance of a solid and piercing golden needle-like sword that had come to be so fast that nobody caught it, only seeing it a few inches away from the forehead of the 9th Infernal Lord.
With the appearance of this shimmering sword, the immense aura of a realm that they were familiar with descended, many having color drain out of their eyes as they felt the ridiculously powerful aura of a being at the Star Forging Realm!
Star Forger!
A Star Forger's aura had appeared out of nowhere, and now a golden needle-like blade was about to pierce into the head of the Infernal Lord!
Yet...it seemed that even this was not enough as behind the Infernal Lord's back, they could see the rapid materialization of a being stretching out a crackling red-gold palm, this individual actually bringing out another aura at the Star Forging Realm as many realized that to their horror, it was not just a single Star Forger that was actually sent here to attack- nay, to assassinate the 9th Infernal Lord.
Two Star Forging experts, one in front and one in the back. Two separate attacks that were sent out with the purpose to kill, the World Rank Celestial Commanders that had been even close to the region beginning to move back not to be caught in the impact.
It was coordinated, planned, and carried out perfectly!
The assassination of a being that was displaying a high level of power at the World Realm, the being that held great significance for the beginning of this Last War, was being carried out blatantly in the eyes of all as the attacks of the two Star Forging Experts reached this being.
RIIIIIP!
BOOOOM!
Space itself ripped and cracked, the needle-like golden sword carrying with it deadly vibrations and the immense power of an expert, the crackling palm coming from behind the Infernal Lord's back actually being reinforced by the law of fate and the law of fire.
Both attacks landed squarely on the target that was intended, immense fluctuations erupting out as the cold eyes of the Star Forging experts watched the target they hit explode in a sea of blood!
A sea of blood!
Many watched with unbelieving eyes as the entire body of the Infernal Lord was turned into a mess of blood, the reality of what just occurred dawning in on them as fear began to overtake them.
As time seemed to be moving in slow motion, only the truly powerful could notice the distinct fluctuations of this mass of blood that was supposed to be the dead Infernal Lord actually begin to wriggle and contort, the assassins that just appeared squinting their eyes as they saw the exploded pieces of the being that should have been dead collect themselves together into an enormous drop of blood, this blood drop blooming into the smiling figure of a devilishly handsome being that was looking at them with sparkling eyes!
"Two Star Forgers? You must think very highl-"
BOOM!
Space ruptured again as the assassins gave no time for a pause, the one that had thrown the strike of a crackling palm moving his hands forward as tens of such palms filled with immense fate and fire essence filled the surrounded, the golden needle-like blade actually transforming into the shape of a golden haired man who waved his hands forward and caused the appearance of thousands of extremely small golden swords that vibrated powerfully. They attacked without pause to complete their mission of assassination, not letting their first failure affect them one bit!
Noah looked at these scenes as a wide smile spread from him, his heart shaking in excitement as he called out calmly.
"Very well. {{Flame Lord's Authority}}."
RUMBLE!
…!
"{{Water Lord's Authority}}."
RUMBLE!
