Strongest Necromancer Of Heaven's Gate - Chapter 1140: The Battle At The Capital City Of Agartha [Part 2]

“It’s going to be alright,” Aurora said as she lightly patted Princess Shayna’s head, whose body was trembling in her embrace. “We’re safe here.”

The sounds of explosions boomed above their heads, accompanied by the shaking of the ground, making those who had evacuated to the underground shelters of the capital city feel very anxious.

“Sister, I’m scared,” Princess Shayna replied. “Will we really be fine here in the underground shelter?”

“Don’t worry,” Aurora assured her. “Father and Lux are fighting outside. They will not let anything harm us.”

The sounds of explosions became louder, and the shaking also intensified, making the children, who were in their parents’ embrace, start to cry.

Since children were easily affected by the emotions of other children, a domino effect took place, making all the children who were six years old and below start to cry.

Their parents did their best to make them feel safe, but their voices failed to hide the fear and anxiety that they, too, were currently experiencing.

Aurora raised her head to look at the shaking ceiling, and inside her heart, she called out the name of the Half-Elf, whom she knew was fighting with everything he had to protect her and her beloved family from the forces of the Abyss.

On the surface of the Capital City of Agartha…

“Do not let any of their attacks land on the city!” the Ancient King, who was known by his people as Farhan, shouted. “Block them with everything you have. We must protect our people at all costs!”

The Saints behind him shouted in acknowledgment as they desperately worked together to counter the attacks that were being aimed at their city.

Farhan and an elite group of Saints had engaged a Demigod, who looked like an Earth Dragon, that was planning to dig a hole and attack the city underground.

This was something that they couldn’t allow, so they fought tooth and nail against it, forcing the Earth Dragon to abandon its plan.

The Demigod then decided to fight the pesky Supreme and his cohort of Saints who were trying to get in its way.

Although they were able to contain the dangerous monster, there were still six other Demigods who were currently bombarding their city with powerful attacks and doing their best to destroy the barrier that protected it.

“Duel!”

A thunderous roar reverberated in the surroundings, forcing a Demigod, who looked like a Cockatrice, to look in Lux’s direction.

Some of the defenders, including a handful of Saints, had turned to stone after meeting its gaze.

Lux knew that all the Demigods were powerful and dangerous, but he needed to fight the stronger ones first before he dealt with the rest.

Eiko, who was in her Fairy Princess Form, had called Blackfire, asking it to summon the three Supremes from the Ford Federation.

She was currently a Calamity-Ranked Monster, but she was still not strong enough to fight against multiple Demigods, even with the power of the Golden Anchor in her possession.

Blackfire obeyed and summoned the three Supremes, who all worked together to target one of the Demigods attacking the city.

Eiko then summoned her clones, who summoned Calamity-Ranked Slimes alongside her.

The Slimes they summoned were Thunder and Lightning Slimes, and they immediately worked together to unleash a barrage of lightning bolts and thunder waves to repel the Demigods, who were attacking the city.

The battle became very fierce, making the ground shake under their feet as explosions reverberated in the surroundings.

Lux, who once again summoned Deus Gigantia, was duking it out with the Cockatrice, who had the ability to summon stone spikes and pillars that were dozens of meters long.

Although the Half-Elf was immune to petrification, the Cockatrice was fast and able to use multicast, allowing it to unleash several spells at the same time.

But these spells weren’t aimed at Lux.

They were aimed at the city!

The Cockatrice was very sly and knew that the Half-Elf would protect the city no matter what.

Because of this, the Giant Skeleton King used its colossal body to shield the city from these spells.

The other Demigods also realized that this was the most effective method to deal with those who were trying to attack them. Since Eiko and Lux were able to dodge their attacks, they would simply force them into a situation where they couldn’t dodge.

The simplest way to do that was by attacking the city with powerful spells and attacks, without the need to hold back.

As expected, their strategy worked.

The bones of Giant Skeleton shattered and fell on the ground as it desperately tried to hold back the attacks of Six Demigods at the same time.

“Pa!” Eiko shouted as she used her Golden Anchor as a shield to block the attacks of the Demigods, alongside her Papa.

“I know, Eiko,” Lux replied through telepathy. “I will leave the Skeleton King to defend, while both of us attack one Demigod each.”

“Okay!” Eiko nodded.

Immediately, Lux turned into a lightning bolt, leaving the blue crystal on the Skeleton King’s chest.

He was confident that the Skeleton King would be able to hold on for a few minutes, and he would use that time to decrease the number of opponents on the battlefield.

Just as he was about to do this, a powerful pressure suddenly descended upon his body, forcing him to stop his charge midway.

“Oh? So you’re that person who got in Daniel’s way?”

A voice that was filled with amusement reached Lux’s ears, making the hairs on the back of his neck stand on end.

His gaze scanned his surroundings before landing on a particular spot that didn’t look out of place.

However, since he could sense the Aura of the living and the dead, the creature that seemed to be invisible wasn’t able to escape his gaze.

“As expected, you can find me.”

The voice filled with amusement chuckled, and then it appeared.

An alien-like creature, standing on four legs, with a giant tentacle that served as its head, looked at the Half-Elf with a sinister glint on its diabolical face.

Its fiendish clawed hands made cracking sounds as it opened and closed them.

Countless rows of razor-sharp teeth appeared in its tentacle-like face, making it look like a creature that came straight out of a person’s worst nightmare.

“I was getting bored conquering the Western Regions of Elysium, so I sent one of my clones to observe the conquest of Agartha.”

lightsnοvεl The terrifying creature said with the same amused tone it had used earlier.

“Since I am only sharing my senses with this clone, I have no plans to participate in this battle regardless of its result. However, after seeing you, I change my mind.”

The creature then unleashed a wave of malicious energy from its body, making the Defenders inside the city scream as they desperately held their heads in an attempt to stop the stabbing pain that they were feeling inside their heads.

“My name is Nyarlathotep,” Nyarlathotep introduced itself using one of its clawed hands to point towards its face. “Although this is just a clone, it still possesses some of my powers. So, what is your name, boy?”

Lux didn’t answer and simply raised his hand to summon the Spear of Longinus to aid him in battle.

“You don’t want to give me your name? Fine,” Nyarlatothep chuckled. “It doesn’t really matter since you will be dying soon anyway.”

Although the creature in front of him was only a clone, Lux instinctively felt that its strength was at the peak of the Demigod-Rank.

He already knew that the battle to defend Agartha wasn’t going to be easy. But, with Nyarlathotep’s arrival, things just turned for the worst.
