Chapter 278 - A Grand Battle II

[Empyrean Armament!]

The words were the prelude to a confounding brilliance that made even the hellish Infernal pause briefly, a blooming golden flower becoming apparent in the eyes of all those watching the battlefield.

Four powerful [Empyrean Guards] became streaks of light as they entered into Athena's body, making her seem like a glowing mass of light as the first thing that became visible was exquisitely shining white wings that let out oppressive vibrations in the blazing skies of the First Hell.

The light gradually died down as it revealed the being connected to the gloriously glowing wings. The figure of Athena was fully covered from head to toe with a golden armor that screamed of power!

Two spiked swords trembling with a white destructive light that was just asking to be released to her enemies were on her hands, numerous golden runic markings inlaying her golden armor that went on to even cover her head completely. Only two brilliantly glowing eyes could be seen between the gaps as the sword in her right hand pointed towards the fiery skies, and the sword in her left hand pointed towards the Infernal Aberration that was looking at her with extreme passion.

This passion in the Infernal's eyes continued to grow as it greedily wanted to devour this being glowing all in gold, as her essence smelled the sweetest out of everyone here, and would improve his own strength the most when he devoured her.

OOOH!

The Infernal let out a battle cry as the fiery skies became even redder, storms of hellish flames continuing to form as they obscured everything, its gaze voraciously going towards the woman pointing a golden sword towards it and ignoring all the attacks from the surrounding Void Realm beings.

Athena held her gaze steady, one sword pointing towards the sky and one pointing towards the rushing Aberration as her essence rumbled, and she cast yet another skill.

"[Smite of Liberation]."

OOOONG!

Wild levels of mana leaked out from the direction where she pointed her golden sword, the tip of an even larger outline of an immensely large corporeal blade began to form.

The reddish skies of the First Hell began gaining a hue of gold as with every passing millisecond, the shape of this stupendously powerful blade become larger and larger as it pierced through the fiery sky and descended towards the Aberration at crazy speeds!

The Infernal Aberration felt this tremendously powerful blade descending down as its gaze hardened, looking up with slight care as its body streaked across space and moved to a different location.

What happened next left those in the battlefield with slacked jaws as the insanely large corporeal golden blade descending from the skies changed directions and streaked across the skies towards the Infernal even faster than before, its might burning with righteous golden light as it smashed onto the Aberration.

BOOM!

SMASH!

A flash of light. A brilliance of unknown proportions.

"GAAH!"

The Infernal let out a scream of pain for the first time ever as a large rupture spread out from its chest all the way to its head. Eerie muscles wriggled to reform as a holy power prevented them from coming together, its gaze turning bloody as it glanced towards the woman responsible who was already giving more commands towards the mute Void Realm beings in the surroundings.

"Move! You, flank its left. You…"

Various commands were quickly released as the Void Realm beings moved according to Athena's words and let out attacks from different positions that made it extremely difficult for the injured Infernal to defend.

"WAAAH!"

The Aberration let out a guttural howl as the blue runic markings on its horns glowed brighter, pillars of defensive hell flames forming all around him as it moved to defend and attack the swarming enemies around it.

Noah observed this continuing battle with stupefaction as the image of the golden armored woman carrying deadly swords and gloriously shining white wings continued to release just crazy levels of attacks and skills while commanding an aura of a veteran of a battlefield as she moved herself and the Void Realm beings like pieces on a chessboard.

The being that was even closer to the battle, Prince Cassius, was glancing at the nearby Athena with blood-red eyes as he controlled his hunger and followed her directions to let out even more attacks towards a certain direction.

The Infernal Aberration began to feel suffocated as it realized every direction it tried to move, an attack would already be there waiting to meet it, causing it to be contained in one area as it couldn't move freely!

It felt cornered as every move it tried to make, there would always be someone to counter it.

The one responsible for this was looking through the slits of her golden armor as she continued to let out powerful attacks while reading the flow of the battle.

Unbeknownst to all the beings here, she could observe invisible white lines coming off from the body of the Infernal, and these lines told her exactly what move the Infernal would be making even before it made the move!

This was a skill that was unique to her, one that allowed her to lead and direct the flow of battle as if it was a grand symphony.

This was why she had gained the title of the War Princess, and this was just another one of the features that made her unique!

One of her hands pointed to the fiery skies of hell once more as another one aimed the sword it was holding on to towards the Infernal Aberration that continued to be increasingly cornered.

OONG!

Yet another corporeal golden sword of momentous size began descending from the skies as one could hear the screams of the surrounded Infernal that continued to receive the full attacks of multiple Void Realm beings.

This Aberration would have no chance to become a General or a Scion of an Infernal Lord in the future, much less hold the title of an actual Infernal Lord.

Its fate was sealed the moment it met the War Princess born from countless battles.
