Chapter 277 - A Grand Battle I

The newly arriving Incarnations looked forth at the sight of Athena valiantly holding off against the Infernal Aberration as they quickly moved to reinforce her.

The battlefield they were delving into was a terrifying one, with constantly rotating hell storms that would raze anyone that was not paying attention to the ground.

OOOH!

Vigorous yells resounded as the powerful Elders and Leaders of Various powers arrived on the battlefield and reinforced the one being fighting against a tyrannical beast. Their eyes shook at the level of power that this simple girl let out, being even higher than the four golden Empyrean Guards she was smoothly alternating with as she defended and let out attacks methodically.

A few Elders were lost in the rhythm of battle when they came close, being astonished at the movements of Athena and the summons that she controlled as she weaved across the dangerous tornadoes of hellfire, defended against a constantly appearing and disappearing Infernal, as well as throw out rays of golden light from the huge hammers she wielded to land perfect strikes on the body of said infernal.

It felt like a beautiful dance that they could get lost in watching!

They quickly shook themselves out of their reverie as they moved to join the battle, one particular Elder turning his attention to another direction as he found two figures arriving at the same time as them, and he knew one of them very closely.

"Crixus!"

Elder Spacewarp looked at the Wastrel of the Profound Astral Sect in shock as he thought this son of Elder Baldwin would be the last person to rush towards danger and lend aid to fellow disciples.

This was especially so because the other top disciple of the Profound Astral Sect, William, had long since used his life-saving tool to return to the ship.

Elder Spacewarp looked at Crixus and the powerful being he recognized to be the Prince of the powerful Pureblood Vampyres of the Underworld as he sent a message that only Crixus could hear.

"Leave this place quickly boy! We have this handled, but I won't be able to protect you if this beast turns its attention on you!"

Noah had arrived at the spectacular battlefield where one particularly powerful enemy of his was valiantly facing off against a powerful Infernal that let out levels of power which had already passed what could be considered the Void Rank.

He was shocked at the beautiful dance that seemed to be occurring as Athena controlled the pace of the battle against this maddened Infernal with ease, weaving in and out of the powerful hellish flames and deadly attacks as she defended and counterattacked with no issues.

Her body let out a holy fate's aura that he wasn't fully confident in being able to pierce right now, the only possibility of him injuring her being if he used the abilities of the [Lesser Cthulhu] and activated its spectacular skills.

Now, with the addition of multiple Elders and Leaders from various powers that were reinforced with the strength of an observing Celestial, he could not make a single move against Athena!

His mind rapidly moved as it seemed he would have to go along the path he had talked about with Prince Cassius earlier- and that was to act as helpful disciples as they continued to monitor the situation.

If this immensely powerful Infernal in front of them happened to be even more terrifying than they imagined, maybe there would still be a possibility. But from watching how the battle seemed to be in a stalemate with the exquisite control that the War Princess held over the battlefield, the joining multiple other Void Rank beings reinforced by a Celestial's power only meant that things had turned bad for this Infernal.

Putting on the expression of a righteous disciple, Noah sent back a message to the concerned Elder Spacewarp as he and Prince Cassius moved closer to the battlefield.

"I'll be fine, Elder! I will stay in the periphery and try to help, and will use my medallion at the instant sign of danger!"

His gaze looked firm and resolute as Elder Spacewarp turned to look at his expression with shaking eyes.

'Had the wastrel disciple of his sect actually grown this much?'

The Elder was occupied with the wrong thoughts as Noah observed the tides of the shifting battle, looking for any changes that would allow him to obtain the most rewards out of this situation.

The one reward he wanted the most was an important one- the death of this extremely powerful woman that let out levels of power that made him frown even now!

But this seemed like an impossibility at this point in time, and he might have to settle for the reward of increasing his status within the Profound Astral Sect as he achieves the goal of obtaining their Absolute Space Technique, and the possibility of even gaining the trust of the Celestial that was observing things from the outside of the First Realm of Hell, as well as the powerful disciple in question herself, Athena.

Whatever path opened itself up in front of Noah, he would take it!

The Void Rank Prince Cassius was a bonafide expert himself, moving to act naturally as the Prince of the Pureblood Vampyres and led aid to their allies. Multiple drops of blood that acted as homing missiles rushed towards the Infernal as a rain of blood exploded on the battlefield.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

This brought a brief respite to the constantly maneuvering Athena as she glanced at the beings that came to reinforce her, nodding her head as she observed the golden celestial aura covering them with a happy smile. One of the Elders came close to her and proclaimed.

"We came under the guidance of the Grandmaster to aid you. He mentioned for us to...follow your lead."

The leader of a powerful organization scratched their heads warily as they revealed the intentions of the observing Celestial Grandmaster outside of the First Hell.

A shining light erupted from Athena's eyes as she heard this, her smile becoming even more brilliant as she nodded.

"Good. Listen to my commands, and we shall destroy this Aberration before it can grow any further!"

She was smiling widely because she found out that even at this juncture, the Grandmaster was still using it as a chance to train her, this time letting her work with multiple Void Realm beings as she had the task to eliminate this Infernal in front of them.

Her brilliant eyes gazed upon the Aberration as she began letting out multiple commands to the newly arrived Elders and Sect Leaders, her hands coming together in front of her chest as she chanted a few words.

"Empyrean Armament!"

OOONG

Brilliant golden essence erupted out as the four [Empyrean Guards] surrounding her became streaks of light that shot towards her body, a holy aura that many were seeing for the first time descending around them as they felt oppression deep to their very cores.

Noah was observing this development closely as his gaze became more and more somber while he continued to gain just a bit more understanding of this powerful enemy of his.
