Will of Сhaos

Chapter 1339: Cap 1337: Psychological pressure

?Pov ???? (Sword Demigod):

I was furious, I don't know who the bastard was that used an illusion like that damn Meteor, but because of that, I lost an ear and part of my shoulder while I ignored the enemy in front of me to escape being hit BY A METEOR THAT WASN'T REAL!

I started to use my Holy Power to expel this strange energy in my wounds, but I couldn't hold back for long as hundreds of sea monster-like Abyss Creatures were flying towards me.

"Damn, I don't even have time to rest or heal." (I)

I wouldn't run away this time, there is no place for escape here, and fighting head on with my life on the line like this reminds me of the Adventurer days in my youth, my only aspirations at that time were always involved with the sword I had in my hands.

"(When was the last time I shook my head with my mind blank, without caring about my life or death?)" (I)

"A sword cannot bend, a sword cannot break, a sword only needs to cut." (I)

"Any defect, any error, and anything that can block my sword is my fault, the error, defect, and weakness are mine." (I)

As I advanced on the enemies I felt an energy flowing into my body and going to my sword following the only desire I had at the moment, the desire to cut without fear, regret, or hesitation as I did back then.

My heart races, my blood boils in my veins, and all my senses focus only on the sword in my hands while my mind is empty of thoughts other than the infinite possibilities of swinging the sword in my hands.

"< Divine Sword: Unstoppable Slash >" (I)

Nothing made any difference to me at that moment, whether it was the strange fire that seemed to reflect the starry sky appearing on my sword or the Creatures of the Abyss increasing in numbers around me.

My sword danced around me without causing any apparent effect as the Creatures of the Abyss were being torn to pieces and turning to dust.

In my heart, the same emotion that I felt in those first days beat, the feeling of moving forward only with my desire to cut by moving my body.

"(How I missed that feeling.)" (I)

Pov Athena's:

I was kneeling on the ground covered in blood and sweat, both my wings were torn off and several of my bones were broken, my entire right arm was crushed to the point where my bones in that arm had probably turned to dust.

"(Is everyone okay?)" (I)

"I'm fine, I'm just putting my torn off arm back in place." (Veronica)

"(Did you see my wings?)" (I)

"I didn't find your wings, plus Loki seems to be unconscious so far." (Veronica)

"Best if we retreat to our base, Loki needs a way to wake up and you?have to heal yourself." (Veronica)

"(I'm fine.)" (I)

"You have a hole in your neck, you can't even speak and you have to resort to mental powers to communicate." (Veronica)

"(I'll be fine, but now we have...)" (I)

"[Stay where you are, I'll bring you straight here, they surrounded you.]" (Nicole)

"(Veronica!)" (I)

"I know, I'm already together with him." (Veronica)

It was at that moment that the ground around us broke with several Creatures from the Abyss coming out to attack us, then a square door formed next to the two of us moving forward telling us to enter with no choice, when I opened my eyes we were at the point of general support.

"(What was that?)" (I)

"They will be treated quickly, what I did seems to have provoked an attack by a horde of Creatures from the Abyss." (Nicole)

"Don't waste your time, heal as quickly as you can." (Nicole)

Nicole was surrounded by screens with 5 Golems that look more like knights in armor next to her, I could see that she was very busy and that another square portal was forming not far from where we were and Nix came out of that portal.

"Nicole, have you notified the master yet?" (Nix)

"Not yet, I'm leaving him for last, the spatial fluctuations around his area won't allow the teleportation portal to open." (Nicole)

"This is a Divine Realm created by the Gods, it wasn't supposed to have... wait, please tell me he's not facing an Abyss Lord." (Nix)

"..." (Nicole)

"By the Gods, why is he facing one of these things?" (Nix)

"I don't know, I can't get close with my Golems or Lesser Familiars, the distortions in space are strange and there's some kind of acid flying everywhere." (Nicole)

Just listening to the discussion between them you could see that Zenos decided to do the same as we did, we need to fight the 3 together to defeat just one Lord of the Abyss while he was fighting alone.

"(Looks like we're still weak.)" (I)

"He's just abnormal, now stop thinking about other people's struggles, and let's heal ourselves." (Veronica)

With that we went to where Irina and Vanessa were healing others just before something happened, it was possible to see Creatures from the Abyss opening the skies not far from where we were and coming towards us.

Pov Allan (Hero of Justice):

I would really like my two companies to be here with me, but we still had things to take care of on that planet, if it weren't for the request of the Temple of Justice that needed my participation in a certain event, I wouldn't have come here, I even left the two on that planet advancing plans.

"I should have refused that request..." (I)

"< Restrict >" (I)

"< Stakes of Divine Punishment >" (I)

I was fighting countless Abyss Creatures, but they weren't that strong, so it was easy to finish off most of them with just one attack, letting me save energy for when it was really needed, but at that moment the item from the Demonic Church of Death on my wrist It broke at the same time I felt movement behind me.

Without wasting time, I used two area techniques supported by the Holy power of the God of Justice, the first to restrict the movements of all those within hundreds of meters around me, and then I used an area act that spreads the Holy power along my Aura across a designated area marking all those who are restrained as enemies creating 10 stakes of Holy Power to penetrate the targets' bodies causing great pain, restricting their movements from within and applying weight to each stake in their body.

When I did this I looked around at the bodies of hundreds of Abyss Creatures turning to dust before revealing one standing looking at me calmly, the restrictions in the form of energy chains around them were being destroyed quickly and the stakes seemed to cause no harm significant even though they all hit the target.

"I was discovered and couldn't destroy the target, so I better attack head on now that I have no way to hide efficiently."

"< Aura Armor >" (I)

At the same moment as he spoke, I used Aura Armor condensing my Aura around my body in time to defend an attack that came towards my head, I was thrown aside, but luckily I was fine and prepared for him when he broke free from the restraints appearing close to me with great speed.

"(I didn't expect to fight an Abyss Lord so soon, I was careless, those weak Abyss Creatures were just a distraction and smokescreen for him to carry out a fatal attack.)" (I)

The realization of an Abyss Lord's planning and intelligence hit hard, they are much scarier than I thought and I didn't have time to escape from him, or so I thought, when I was retreating back, suddenly a square portal appeared making me enter it before closing, when I realized I was at the control point of this battlefield close to one of Zenos' daughters.

"You saved me, thank you." (I)

"Don't thank me until you look back." (Nicole)

As soon as I looked behind me I realized that she wasn't helping me, she was recruiting help, there were a frightening number of Abyss Creatures coming towards us and behind them a large hand tried to reach through the space covered in injuries, multicolored crystal swords and golden chains tied the arm, making it return into space and disappear from sight.

Pov Caitlyn:

I was inside the Divine Realm where the Gods were restraining the strongest Abyss Lords and Abyss Creatures from entering the battlefield, I couldn't even follow the battle happening in front of me other than a strange light show.

I was accompanied by the God of War Hatlas, his eyes were focused on the battle in front of him the entire time he spoke to me.

"You did well." (Hatlas)

"I still don't understand the reason for these illusions, this has little or no effect on the Creatures of the Abyss, they do not feel fear and do not hesitate even at the risk of being destroyed." (I)

"That meteor falling as well as the big hand coming out of space full of injuries, what's the point of that in the middle of the battlefield?" (I)

"Causing fear and emotional pressure, those fighting are beings of great power compared to most of the universe, even those who rose to where they are with commendable effort, as time passes they lose the flame of the battle they once had, they forget about fear and feelings of death that were once normal in his younger days." (Hatlas)

"Sometimes having too much power can weaken a person's senses and heart, I know this better than most, they need to feel the pressure to be emotionally and mentally prepared for battle." (Hatlas)

"What if they give up or end up dying because of it?" (I)

"There are those protecting them from the shadows, don't worry, we just need you because your illusions are especially good at affecting the mind." (Hatlas)
