Chapter 138 Each Having Their Own Schemes
Just as Roy was taking Julia away, in the battle zone behind him, the newly-arrived Horseman of the Apocalypse, War, was killing everything!
Since War represented the power of the Charred Council, both angels and demons viewed him with hostility. When War appeared, the angels and demons attacked him in unison.
However, this Horseman of the Apocalypse with a stigma on his forehead, a red hood, and heavy armor was simply too powerful. He held a large two-handed sword named Chaoseater and had unparalleled strength and speed. Neither angels nor demons could take two moves from him!
When angels faced him, he easily sliced off both of their wings; when demons faced him, he easily cut off their heads. Since he descended, he had been continuously moving forward, and in just ten minutes, hundreds of angels and demons died in his hands.
Being killed was not the most terrifying. The most terrifying thing was that the souls of angels and demons could not escape. The souls killed by Chaoseater would be forever sealed in this sword and then transformed into War’s power…
However, although he had been fighting against angels and demons all along the way, War always had lingering doubts in his mind. It seems… something is wrong! Angels and demons are still fighting, and humans are still living. It appears that this is only the beginning of the End War. Why did I sense the summons?!
Even if the seven seals broke, we shouldn’t have been summoned so early. Moreover… where are my siblings? Why can’t I sense their existences?
Although War had huge doubts, the troops of the angels and the demons were rushing toward him like a tide, making him not have time to consider them. War’s temper was not good either. If you want to kill me, I’ll kill
you!
Therefore, in the following time, War cleared out most of the angels and demons in the city. From the path that he had walked, corpses were strewn all over, the remains of angels and demons everywhere. If Roy had not made the prompt decision to leave this city, he would have likely been among these corpses…
However, as time passed, War suddenly discovered that most of his power had suddenly disappeared!
W-what’s going on?! The pain caused by the disappearance of the power caught War a little off guard. He could feel that his strongest ability to transform into the Chaos Form was no longer usable with the loss of power!
Moreover, this loss of power was still going on. He could feel himself becoming weaker and weaker.
No! I have to find my siblings and figure out what’s going on… War stood up with his sword and continued moving forward.
But not long after he started moving, he encountered the most intense battle zone between the angels and demons!
Here, he saw Abaddon, a high-level angel. His image was very eye-catching because an ornate metal plate covered his right eye. He only had one eye, which he had lost in a previous battle with demons.
Abaddon was one of the leaders of the Heaven Outpost, the White City. He was the Angel of Vengeance and specialized in fighting, and he was also the frontline commander of the angel army. Beside Abaddon was a silver-haired high-level female angel with tanned skin. Her name was Uriel, a follower of Abaddon.
At this moment, Abaddon and Uriel were leading a group of angels and wantonly slaughtering the demons that were continuously streaming in around them. But they rarely took action. Only when they encountered some high-level demons would they swing their angelic swords and behead them.
Therefore, when War appeared, Abaddon was the first to spot him. He was dumbfounded when he saw War taking heavy steps toward him!
“Damn… damn it! W-why are you here?!” Abaddon roared angrily at War.
This premature End War was Abaddon’s scheme in the first place. He had persuaded another leader of the White City, Azrael, the Angel of Death, to help plan and carry out the seven seal deception incident. Thus, he was very clear that the last seal of the seven seals had not been broken, and the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse should not have appeared!
But now, War was standing in front of him. This had completely exceeded his original plan!
For a moment, Abaddon was confused and muttered to himself, “No! This isn’t what I wanted…”
However, War was now even more confused than Abaddon. He did not understand why Abaddon yelled at him as soon as he saw him and even looked dazed…
At this moment, a large magic formation suddenly appeared from the ground below Abaddon. With the appearance of this magic formation, the ground immediately turned into magma, and then a giant hand suddenly stretched out from the magma and grabbed the absent-minded Abaddon!
This giant hand came from a huge demon, and this huge demon’s name was Straga. He was one of the demon lords that Samael had summoned from the Abyss!
This sneak attack was very successful. When Straga appeared, it happened to coincide with Abaddon’s absent-mindedness, and in the sky, Uriel was fighting a high-level demon. After discovering that Abaddon was being attacked, she shouted and swooped down to save him.
But it was already too late! After Straga’s giant hand grabbed Abaddon, he immediately used his tremendous power and clenched fiercely!
With a bizarre sound, Straga destroyed Abaddon’s angel body! “No! Your Excellency!” All of this happened too quickly, and Uriel could only watch helplessly as Abaddon’s soul was exposed.
She rushed forward to try to snatch Abaddon’s soul, but a teleportation magic formation suddenly appeared in Straga’s palm and teleported Abaddon’s soul away!
“Damn it! Where did you take Lord Abaddon’s soul?!” Uriel flew into a rage and rushed at Straga with her sword.
However, Straga burst out laughing, and with a violent wave of his hand, he slapped Uriel flying…
Uriel smashed onto the ground and struggled to get back up with her sword supporting her. She turned her head and shouted angrily at War, “Damn it! What did you do just now?! Why was Lord Abaddon so distracted that a sneak attack caught him off guard?!”
However, War had lost a massive amount of power at this time. He knelt on the ground with his sword while panting. “How would I know? I merely responded to the summons!”
Uriel did not get the answer she wanted, so she gritted her teeth, flew up again, and charged at Straga.
In fact, the strength of the high-level angels in the outpost Heaven had established in this world was weaker than that of the demons. The two leaders in the White City, whether it was Abaddon or Azrael, were not actually high in rank and strength. They were only at the throne level of high-level angels, and Uriel was only at the dominion level. In terms of strength, only when Abaddon and Azreal worked together could they barely match up to Demon King Samael. With such strength, it was no wonder why Abaddon thought of using the seven seals to play a trick.
Unfortunately, Abaddon had really made a fool of himself this time. Not only had the demon army that Samael summoned exceeded his imagination, but even the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse had appeared. It could be said that the White City’s plan had utterly failed!
This blow to Abaddon was extremely huge because he knew very well that all of the forces of Heaven in this world might be defeated by the demons…
Looking at Uriel and Straga locked in combat, War realized that Abaddon definitely knew something. Now, he could only capture Straga and retrieve Abaddon’s soul to understand what was going on.
So after raising his spirits, War also joined the battle. With Uriel’s help in restraining Straga, he found an opportunity to pierce one of Straga’s eyes.
However, just as he was about to take this opportunity to defeat Straga, his power was sucked away once again!
This was very fatal in the battle. Straga, who had been blinded in one eye, grabbed War and reenacted the previous tragedy of Abaddon.
Straga also crushed War’s body…
Straga, a demon lord famous for his strength, completed the epic feat of double killing a leader of Heaven and a Horseman of the Apocalypse in one day…
However, War’s soul was not teleported away by a magic formation like Abaddon’s had. Instead, it was directly taken away by a ray of light that descended from the sky. The Charred Council was using its power to summon War’s soul back!
Seeing this scene, Uriel felt a chill run down her spine. She felt that Heaven seemed to have fallen into a huge scheme. After thinking for a while, she decisively led the angel army to leave.
She did not know where Lord Abaddon’s soul was teleported to, and she had to preserve the power of Heaven and find a way to retrieve his soul…
“Ghahaha!!!” Half of Straga’s body was in the magma pool as he burst out laughing. Looking at the defeated angel army departing, Straga took out a demon eye. It was very similar to the Demon Eye that Roy had created, but it did not have a pair of wings. After seeing no one else around, he whispered to the demon eye, “Your Majesty Samael, I’ve completed the mission and successfully sent Abaddon’s soul to Mother Lilith…”
“Good job, Straga!” From the demon eye came Samael’s voice. “You can rest now!”
“Yes, Your Majesty!” Straga replied before slowly sinking into the magma and disappearing…
And in the space of the Abyss Outpost, Demon King Samael sat on a huge throne with his chin propped up and a sinister smile on his face. He murmured to himself, “Lilith, it’s up to you next. I hope you don’t let me down…”
