BXBX NOVEL Chapter 389
Chapter 389
Its fur was a deep shade of black, and its eyes glowed a cold, crimson reddish hue.
The very moment this giant wolf appeared, an overwhelming pressure no less than that of the skeletal giant face emanated from it, instantly dispelling the eerie, plague-like power that had spread across the battlefield with the skeletal face’s sigh.
With the strange energy gone, everyone on the battlefield quickly recovered from their weakened state.
However, although they had regained their strength, they still found their abilities were now significantly suppressed.
Even Meryer, the black dragon flying in the sky was forced to land due to the pressure of this powerful force, and Rose, the legendary spider queen was also seen crouching on the ground.
Everyone felt the raw mana in the air become sluggish and heavy, while their bodies felt like rusty machines, making even the smallest movements incredibly difficult.
This was the inevitable result of being suppressed by a powerful presence.
Thus the battle on the field had come to a halt.At this point, no one could continue fighting under such immense pressure.
Meanwhile, the players struggled to lift their heads, staring in shock at the giant skeletal face and the black giant wolf confronting each other within the air.
“A Boss monster! This is definitely this quest’s Boss!”
Various exclamations of such kind erupted from the crowd.
“Damn! Even Rose is suppressed! Is this a demigod or a true god?!”
“How are we supposed to fight this? What do we do next?”
Within the elven allied forces field commander, Li Mu, who had been hiding in the ranks to command the army, also widened his eyes, staring at the giant wolf above the Holy City whilst muttering:
“My goodness! So, the Hermetic Alliance has such a powerful hidden entity?”
“It’s Lord Fenrir! It’s the Demon Wolf Lord Fenrir! He has finally awakened!”
Beside him, Firebeard, the elderly dark dwarf who had beem accompanying him all this time, was visibly excited.
Li Mu showed a looks of puzzlement.
“Demon Wolf Fenrir?”
“He is the guardian of our Hermetic Alliance, an apostle of the Death Church and a peak demigod just one step away from attaining his own godhood! He has been sleeping beneath the Holy City for over a thousand years, and just now has finally awakened!”
Firebeard explained excitedly as it drew a slow nod from Li Mu, whose eyes lighted up with newfound comprehension.
He then painfully turned his head towards the Dark Alliance, looking at the terrifying gigantic skeletal face in the sky, and asked:
“And… what about that one?”
Firebeard hesitated for a moment before replying:
“That energy… i-it seems to be the Plague Lord mentioned in the ancient scriptures. It’s another ancient being sleeping here in the underground, but… that one is a true evil god!”
Plague Lord?
A true evil god?
So… a real bona-fide god?
Li Mu’s brows furrowed, and his jaw tightened.
At this moment, the giant wolf hovering in mid-air suddenly spoke as Fenrir raised his massive head, whilst gazing at the gigantic skeletal face.
“Plague Lord Ares, have you decided to stand with Hödur and oppose my master?”
His voice was deep and majestic, sounding like a young man who had experienced many vicissitudes of life.
After the huge wolf spoke, the gigantic skeletal face sneered:
“Fenrir, after a thousand years, you are still so disrespectful to us, true gods.”
However, the giant wolf immediately responded with disdain.
“Hmph, I respect all true gods, except for traitors and the fallen like your kind!”
With a cold gleam flashing within his eyes, the Demon Wolf Fenrir continued:
“Ares, you despicable traitor, today I will act on behalf of my master to punish you as you deserve! Leave this incarnation of yours behind!”
With that, Fenrir’s body shone brightly, as he suddenly pounced towards the giant skeletal face.
As the giant wolf lunged forward, the skeletal giant’s face tightened, its hollow eyes narrowing with a look of seriousness.
A grey-black mist suddenly rose around it, forming a humanoid body beneath the giant face, transforming into a grey-black giant roughly the same size as the giant wolf.
It then swung its fists, attacking the oncoming wolf.
With a thunderous crash, the two demigod beings finally collided.
At the moment of impact, a deep divine light erupted amidst their positions, creating a massive energy storm that shredded everything around them to pieces.
The entire underground space trembled with their clash.
Cracks suddenly appeared in the ceiling, and the ground was dramatically fissured. Even the Holy City, suffered partial collapse despite being protected by a divine barrier.
Elsewhere, the battlefield fared even worse.
The Dark Alliance army beneath the gigantic skeletal face was almost instantly obliterated, with only the Lich King of legendary strength barely escaping in the aftermath.
Even so, Perone was still left in a sorry state, with his soul fire being significantly weakened, clearly injured in the clash between the two opposing demigods.
Meanwhile, the elves were somewhat better off.
With them being placed much farther from the center of the conflict, only the few stationed in the front row were caught in the chaos being too close and thus, unfortunately returned to nature’s embrace in this untimely manner.
For a moment, the entire battlefield fell into an eerie silence.
Everyone was stunned by the sheer power displayed by those two demigods.
Fortunately, both had only exchanged a single blow.
However, even with just one strike, the outcome was clear.
The gigantic skeletal face was half-shattered by Fenrir’s attack, while Fenrir himself remained unscathed.
After this exchange, they both retreated, standing at a significant distance, staring at each other from inside and outside the city.
After the initial clash, Fenrir looked at the half-shattered skeletal face and spoke with even greater disdain:
“Ares…”
“Despite being once a true god, is this all the power you have left?”
“If your true form were here, I might take you more seriously, but with just an incarnation…hmph.”
Hearing Fenrir’s insulting words, Plague Lord Ares sighed deeply.
As he reformed his skeletal face, Ares gently shook his head:
“Fenrir…”
“I admit, you are the strongest demigod I have ever encountered.”
“And I also admit that, having just awakened, my power has not fully recovered yet, and I cannot defeat you at this moment.”
“But… when did I ever say I would face you alone?”
Immediately as soon as he finished speaking, two more powerful auras suddenly erupted from another direction of the Holy City!
With a sharp dragon roar, a shadow dragon shrouded in grey mist soared into the sky…
Then, the ground shook continuously, and hot magma emerged from the cracks, before a ram-headed demon, composed entirely of flames and lava, slowly appeared…
It was Darkness, the Shadow Dragon!
And the Seventh Demon Lord Azazel!
The former in his true form, while the latter in his demigod incarnation.
In an instant, two more demigod beings appeared on the battlefield, completely surrounding Fenrir!
The overwhelming pressure they exude made the mana within the underground even more chaotic, giving a faint sense of ruination.
However, Fenrir showed no surprise at the arrival of the two new enemy demigods.
A hint of mockery even flashed within his eyes as Fenrir’s deep voice rang out once again:
“Ares, did you think… you were the only one with allies?”
With that, he turned slightly towards the elven army, nodding respectfully:
“Your Grace Evé, This Demon Wolf Fenrir seeks your help.”
As his words fell, a green light suddenly burst forth from behind the players…
