A single exchange was enough to create powerful shock waves that spread across the battlefield like a ripple, instantly annihilating countless Golden Abominations that were at the rear of the Abyssal Army.

Several of the Doomknight Gangbangers, Ancient Zombies, Ancient Ghouls, and Ancient Mummies that had spawned thanks to the Tombstones that Asmodeus had erected on the battlefield were shredded as well.

The Tombstones were also destroyed, but Asmodeus just shrugged and erected more.

The Undead Warlocks, Liches, Sorcerers, Mages, that were under his command spawned more Undead Creatures, making it seem that the loss of their forces was not a big deal to them.

In a battle of attrition, the Undead would always win because they could spawn as many times as they could, ready to fight as if nothing had happened.

The Corpse God, who was fighting alongside the Skeleton King, used its shield to bash Nyarlathotep, pushing it away.

It then fired its crossbows at the Outer God, which the latter deflected with ease.

The two once again engaged in close combat with Nyarlathotep and the Skeleton King, locking their hands at each other, in order to overpower each other.

In this regard, Nyarlathotep was stronger. But, there was one problem.

He only had two arms!

While the two were locking hands, the Corpse God took this opportunity to stab, slash, pierce, bash, and kick the Outer God, who was forced to endure its attacks.

“Are you tickling me?” Nyarlathotep sneered before kicking the Skeleton King away. “You have to do better than that if you want to hurt me, boy.”

Lux didn’t reply and simply looked at the Outer God in disdain.

Tickling him?

Lux would never do such a thing. Perhaps the Outer God felt ticklish right now, but later on, this ticklish feeling would make it feel fear beyond words.

The two once again clashed, and this time, Nyarlathotep’s attacks became stronger and more aggressive.

Each time one of its blows connected on the body of Lux’s Deus Gigantia, part of its body would shatter.

However, the destroyed parts would regenerate in mere seconds. During these moments, the Corpse God’s weapons would hit Nyarlathotep’s body.

Sparks would emerge during these collisions, but the body of Eiko’s strongest subordinate was very tough, and not even the Corpse’s God’s weapons could draw its blood.

Even so, Lux wasn’t fazed and continued to fight Nyarlathotep in close combat.

As the minutes passed, the more Nyarlathotep felt that something was wrong.

It could feel that its reaction time had decreased by a quarter of a second, which wasn’t that much of a big deal.

However, for someone at its level, it was able to observe these miniscule changes, making it wonder what was happening.

‘I need to end this battle now,’ Nyarlathotep thought as it increased the power of its blows, enough to shatter the body of the Skeleton King in front of it.

The Skeleton King, who had no idea that the Outer God was truly going for the kill, swung its scepter and met Nyarlathotep’s right fist.

Sparks emerged when the fist, and the bone scepter collided, which caused a small crack to appear in the scepter’s surface.

This made Nyarlathotep’s eyes widen in shock because the punch it just unleashed right now was enough to completely destroy its opponent, along with its weapon.

But, even with the strength it possessed, it only managed to put a small crack in the bone scepter, which regenerated itself after a few seconds.

Due to its momentary confusion, Lux found an opening, and ordered the Skeleton King to kick the Outer God’s chest, and sent it flying.

This shift in battle confused Nyarlathotep very much. Earlier even if the Skeleton King’s attacks connected, they dealt no damage to its body whatsoever.

But, now, its opponent had managed to send it flying, which was supposed to be impossible, given the disparity in ranks. ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛ ꜰʀᴏᴍ NovlFir(.)nt

Nyarlathotep then gave its opponent a long and hard look and noticed something in the corner of its eye.

Small golden orbs were flying towards the Skeleton King’s body.

The Outer God followed where these small golden orbs were coming from and saw that it was coming from the Elven City, the Floating Islands, as well as the other settlements, where the non-combatants were gathered.

“I see,” Nyarlathotep said. “You are gathering the Power of Faith.”

It was the power that created Miracles and gave people Hope.

“Took you this long to find out?” Lux sneered as he commanded the Skeleton King to charge at the Outer God, who now understood what was happening. Due to the Half-Elf standing up against the Outer God who threatened to wipe out everyone in the Kingdom of Espoir Friden, the people there started to pray.

They prayed that the Giant Skeleton King would be able to defeat the monster who planned to destroy the world.

And their prayers manifested into golden orbs of light, which flew towards Deus Gigantia, giving it the strength it needed to fight against the Outer God, who had called itself invincible.

Nyarlathotep then unleashed its full power and manifested countless giant tentacles that tried to wrap itself around the Skeleton King’s body.

However, before these Black Tentacles could even touch it, countless Dragon Breaths descended from the sky and incinerated them.

Avernus and his Dragon Legion had come to support their Master in battle.

“You know, I made Deus Gigantia with the intention of imitating Antero,” Lux stated. “But, I realized that I can do something better.”

Avernus’ and the Bone Dragons all turned into particles of light and merged with Deus Gigantia.

Suddenly, a powerful aura radiated from the Skeleton King’s body, sending powerful gusts of wind expanding outwards.

The body of the Skeleton King, which was as white as white marble, suddenly had a change.

Four pairs of Draconic Wings grew from its back. Its body was then covered from head to toe with a black armor that radiated a red aura.

The Draconic Black Helm with a crown on its head covered the Skeleton King’s face, and only its blue glowing eyes could be seen through its visor.

Dragon patterns could also be seen on the armor, making it look more intimidating.

Deus Gigantia was Lux’s most powerful Skill.

Whenever he summoned it, a Skeleton King which would always be one Rank higher than Lux would appear to fight alongside him.

Now that Lux was a Supreme, his Deus Gigantia’s strength rose to the peak of the Demigod Rank.

But, this wasn’t its true power.

Deus Gigantia wasn’t indestructible like Antero, but it possessed an ability that the Golem of Destruction didn’t have.

It was the power to merge with all of Lux’s subordinates, granting it a great boost in strength, making it break through Ranks of a Demigod, almost reaching the Pseudo-God level.

“You said that you were Invincible earlier, right?” Lux said in disdain. “Let’s see if you can back up those words, you puny Outer God.”

After saying those words, Deus Gigantia flapped its wings, and instantly appeared in front of Nyarlathotep. With the raging flames of hell coating its fists, it unleashed a flurry of blows on the Outer God’s body.

Earlier, Nyarlathotep stated that Lux was just tickling him.

But, what it didn’t know was that the ticklish feeling that it was feeling earlier was actually Lux’s blows directly attacking its soul.

Because of this, Nyarlathotep’s connection with C2 was being disrupted, making it feel a short lag in its reaction time.

But, now, with Lux raining blows on its body, Nyarlathotep finally discovered what Lux had done, making it scream in anger and frustration.

The Half-Elf understood that Nyarlathotep’s true body was in the Abyss because James told him that it was impossible for an Outer God to descend to a world that was under the control of an existing God.

Although Eriol was in a weakened state, it would be impossible for Nyarlathotep to descend with a God’s body in Elysium.

Because of this, it took a chunk of its body, and planted its consciousness in it.

This consciousness was connected to its main body’s soul, which Lux was attacking directly from Elysium.

Because an Outer God’s Soul was extremely robust and powerful, the most the Half-Elf could do was make it feel ticklish.

But, this soul damage slowly increased with time, making Nyarlathotep finally realize what kind of danger it was in.

“No!” Nyarlathotep forcefully tried to leave C2’s body in an attempt to preserve its soul from being destroyed. But, how could it possibly escape in front of someone who specialized in handling souls?

From the start of the battle, Lux’s goal was to completely destroy Nyarlathotep’s soul that was still in the Abyss.

Daniel was already powerful enough, but with the Outer God helping him, he was a force to be reckoned with.

Because of this, Lux had decided that no matter what happened, he would fully destroy Nyarlathotep’s Soul, ending one of his strongest enemies in the battle for survival.

Realizing that it was too late to escape, Nyarlathotep attacked with a frenzy and even burned a portion of its soul to further strengthen its body.

The land under their feet shattered, and every blow that was exchanged was enough to instantly kill a Demigod three times over.

Even Lux felt the pressure of Nyarlathotep’s desperate attempt to kill him.

But, he would not fall here.

Diablo, Ishtar, Pazuzu, Asmodeus, and Orion, as well as their subordinates merged with Deus Gigantia, giving it the strength it needed to match the Outer God’s strength.

Lux’s strongest Trump Card, finally showed its strength as it covered its entire body in hellfire, making sure that its enemy would scream in pain in desperation.

The Half-Elf was giving the Outer God a painful lesson, which made it start to scream from inside its cocoon in the deepest layer of the Abyss.
