I Reincarnated As A Stick

Chapter 452



Chapter 452: Carnage

“[Divine True Origin Art]…”

“…”

“[Advent].”

Bang!

At the very instant he had finished uttering the name of the skill, a ball of multicolored energy quickly replaced the massive magic circle he had created before soon expanding to great sizes not long after. Eventually, at a certain point, the ball had burst, causing a destructive wave of energy to wreak its havoc all around Argentum.

Coming face to face with the destructive energy, almost all of the demon armies charging towards Argentum were annihilated without even leaving a trace of them being there. Some of them lasted for a bit longer than their counterparts, however, the final result was the same.

Utter destruction.

With great fervor, the wave of destructive energy continued to spread throughout, taking on the appearance of a massive tsunami as the skill gained more and more momentum from the distance. At this point, some of the Depraved Deity armies that stood there shot out their attacks towards the waves of multicolored energy. However, just like those that were foolhardy enough to come closer to Argentum, their ends were the same.

Eventually, the energy fueling the waves of mass destruction gradually died down, but not before taking the lives of hundreds, possibly thousand of demons at the level of Lesser Demons along with it. By the time it had disappeared, a decently sized gap in the armies’ flanks was left behind, with the remaining armies glaring at Argentum once the dust had settled.

However, rather than looking at Argentum with immense rage, feeling remorse for the fact that their comrades had died just like that, they instead looked at him with great greed, their judgment being clouded by the Sin of Hunger circulating within their bodies. At that moment, only one question surfaced in their minds.

What would happen I devour him?

With that thought fueling their greed to greater degrees, more and more of the Depraved Deity armies broke off from their ranks, all of them making a mad dash towards Argentum to see who among them would be the one to successfully devour him.

Seeing their enemies madly dash at Argentum once more, Herellia’s eyes could not help but glisten as she radiated immense battle intent. Rubbing her hands together in an effort to calm down, she eventually could not stop herself anymore as she looked at Horell. “Hey, Horell. Buff me up. I’m heading in.”

“You sure?” Horell asked in response, although he still circulated energy towards his palms. “From the looks of it, Argentum has everything under control.”

“And what difference would that make?” said Herellia, her expression now that of slight impatience. “Just buff me up already. My hands are itching to test my new skills out.”

‘Fine, fine. Here you go.” Realizing that there was not much he could do to dissuade her from not making a move, Horell inwardly let out a sigh as he shook his head. After that, he cast the same buffs he cast on Argentum on Herellia, increasing the intensity of her aura to what felt like the limits of what a Lesser God could achieve.

With that, a slightly maniacal grin appeared on Herellia’s face as a faint red haze soon shrouded her body. Then, without making a sound, she quickly made her way to where Argentum was.

“[Crimson Cadenza]…”

“[Ephemerality].”

Whoosh!

Before the next wave of demon armies were even halfway to making it close to Argentum, Herellia’s lithe figure silently appeared beside him as the surroundings were colored a faint tinge of red for a short while. Noticing this, Argentum looked at the woman beside him before lightly grinning. “I have a feeling I know why you’re here. Want to make a move? I’ll back you up if the numbers become overwhelming for you.”

“That would be great, but let’s see how strong I’ve become first,” said Herellia in response as she took in a deep breath. Then, with a solemn expression, the faint red haze gradually turned more and more corporeal as it eventually took on a tangible form, transforming into a set of sleek crimson armor that draped over her body.

“[Crimson Cadenza: First Encore].”

Whoosh!

Muttering out those words, she then disappeared from Argentum’s field of vision, prompting Argentum to manipulate a bit of his Greater Law in order to find out where she had gone. Fortunately, it did not take long for him to find her traces, noticing that a path of crimson haze was being made as she marked all of the demons she crossed. Thanks to the buffs Horell applied on her, as well as her innately high speed thanks to her class, around 80% of the demons that were still heading towards Argentum had been marked with the red haze, prompting a knowing smile to appear on Argentum’s face as he had a feeling as to what was going to come.

Fwoosh!

Eventually, she had reappeared once more, appearing among the Depraved Deity armies, which definitely shocked the latter as they had no clue as to how she had infiltrated this deep. However, before they could even make a move against her, she had disappeared from their sights once more as her voice resounded.

“[Sanguine Crescendo].”

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Seemingly in response to her words, all of the demons that were marked by the red haze soon exploded into nothingness as almost all of the demons still making their way towards Argentum disappeared. However, unlike Argentum’s attack, which gradually died down after some time, Herellia’s attack was much more vicious, with the haze that had scattered from the explosions of the demons marking even more demons.

Satisfied with the number of demons that had been marked once more, she reappeared beside Argentum as she muttered, “Burst.”

Bang!

Once again, a great number of the demons exploded into nothingness once more as red haze started to spread out of their bodies once more. Unfortunately, now that they had seen it occur once, the demon armies in the vicinity of the red haze knew what to do, making sure to move away from it as much as could. Although a few of the demons were still infected, their numbers were significantly fewer than before.

“Satisfied?” Argentum asked, noticing the grin Herellia currently had on her face.

Hearing his question, Herellia looked at him with a nod. “Definitely. But you know, we could always dish out more damage.”

“That’s what I was about to say,” said Argentum in response, chuckling as he realized how easy they were having it. “Want me to buff the two of us so we can dish out even more damage?”

“Is that even something you should be asking me?” chuckled Herellia in response. “You already know my answer to that.”

“But of course, I was just making sure.”

Whoosh!

“[True Origin Enhancement Scripture: Lesser Metanoia]!”

“Well, since you’re buffing me… I might as well buff you too!”

“[Sanguine Benevolence: Blessing of the Divine Amaranth]!”

Whoosh! Whoosh!

With that, the two of them exhibited greater powers, briefly surpassing the limits of their current levels as they madly dashed towards the Depraved Deity armies without a care for the world.

Seeing this, Horell could not help but watch from afar in shock, wondering what the hell had happened for the two of them to take the initiative and charge at the frontlines. With that, he could not help but look at Dalton, thinking that the man beside him would eventually make a move as well. “Aren’t you gonna join them?”

“Why should I? They’re already taking care of the task as is,” said Dalton in response as he lightly shook his head. “Plus, I’m not really someone that’s eager to fight.”

Graah!!!

Just as the two of them thought they would be safe by staying behind, a stray demon from the armies had seemingly found its way to where the two were, opening its jaw as a black aura emanated from it.

Unfortunately for the demon, Dalton had long since noticed its presence, turning around before quickly punching at the demon’s stomach, infusing it with a great amount of his energy soon after. Then, without much fanfare, the demon’s body exploded into nothingness as he shook off the remnants of the demon from his hand before turning back to look at Horell.

“Let me repeat myself. I definitely don’t want to fight,” Dalton told Horell with a light smile on his face. However, now that he had just witnessed the man before him obliterate a demon without much difficulty, Horell could not help but think otherwise.

Nevertheless, both Herellia and Argentum continued to wreak havoc among the ranks of the Depraved Deity armies, with each of their moves wiping out at least a few of them.

But of course, all good things had to come to an end as the two eventually ran out of energy, still finding it difficult to conserve the energy they had. Then again, now that they’d gained sufficient battle experience after thrashing the demons, they were certain that they be able to dish out damage using less energy for longer.

With that, the two of them retreated, admiring the large hole they’ve made on the ranks of Depraved Deity armies before them.
