LAZARUS REGULUS
280 Chapter. The Battle of Cerulean Forest.
The Lazarus Group and the Silver Phoenix Empire Alliance army and the Nebula Kingdom were ready to battle. Although the Darkness Dragon Empire's army had exited the Alliance's army, but there were still around 2000 troops led by 6 people of the Legendary realm and 4 people of the Mythical realm.
Vulcano and the other Mythical Beasts growled, they prepared to fight with the Alliance forces. They knew that in this battle, they could all die.
Bedros held onto his huge battle axe Artifact while looking towards the green-haired Demon man. He was eager to try to fight a strong opponent and show his worth to Lazarus.
"Groan!" Islwyn yells.
The Alliance forces attacked towards the Lazarus group. They were confident of winning as their numbers were more and Islwyn, Yuno, Bram and Akira were on their side.
"White Fire Sword Art! Diagonal Slash!"
Lazarus used his sword Skill, he swung diagonally his sword towards the alliance army. A blade made of white flames shot towards the alliance army, instantly all the alliance troops were burned by the white flames and froze.
"Fire Storm!!"
Alwyn used the magic skill of the vast area a gigantic rune formed around the Lazarus group, then where the fire and wind elements gathered together and created a huge fire vortex.
"Frost Barrier!"
Lazarus used his ice element skill and created a Barrier made of ice.
The firestorm slowly subsided, Lazarus saw many members of the alliance army roasted due to the Islwyn Skill.
Lazarus stared intently at Islwyn. "Why did you kill your own army?"
"Haha. Sacrifice was necessary to gain victory, wasn't it the Knight's duty to protect his master?"
"I understand now about your nature! I'll make sure you can't see tomorrow!" Lazarus pointed the katana-shaped Raegal Sword towards Islwyn.
"Hector you will face Yuno, Tempest will face Islwyn, Vulcano you will face the four-eyed Werewolf Beastman and the rest will face the alliance army," Lazarus said using voice telepathy and the Raegal Earring Artifact.
"Urs, what about Akira?"
"I'll face it myself. I thought this fight would be very long! We have to wait for Rainbow and hold them before Rainbow comes." Lazarus said as he glanced towards Julian and the Darkness Dragon Empire troops who were watching their battle from afar.
"According to your orders, Urs/Master!"
Battle ensues Hector runs towards Yuno with his Raegal Spear Artifact, while Yuno is already getting ready with a large greenish-blue Schyte/sabit Artifact.
Tempest flew rapidly towards Islwyn, while Vulcano flew towards Demon King Bram. Magnolia and Purple Wing guarded the injured Black, Jiang and Legendary Beast Three-Legged Golden Phoenix.
"Red Eyes, go on a rampage!" Vulcano yelling.
Red Eyes lunged towards the alliance troops while spitting out smoldering red flames. He was extremely agile and agile while maneuvering over the sky.
The alliance army shot out many arrows and threw many spears towards Red Eyes. But Red Eyes was able to dodge all those arrows and spears.
A moment later a very cold rope also stuck to the feet and wings of Red Eyes.
"Can you stop playing around and give up?" A Demon man with a thin body and height of 1.9 meters, gray hair and red eyes said.
The Demon Man was so thin that he showed all his ribs and very thin cheeks. The hand with many long sharp nails in black added to the Demon man's horror.
There was an impure Legendary Beast Red Dragon, Ancient Giant Ice Spider, Ancient Giant Darkness Centipede and 69 Beasts consisting of Epic Beasts and Grand Demon Beasts of various types and species around it.
"A Job Beast Master Rank SS?" inner Lazarus.
"Dulling my name is Ae—" Before the Demon man introduced himself a white-colored spear shot towards the Demon man and precisely hit his head. The Demon Man's body flew due to the force of the spear throw and stuck it in a large tree with eyes wide open with a spear perforating his head.
Yuno, Alwyn and the alliance troops were startled, then saw who threw the spear. Akira grinned, he now knew the fighting strength of Lazarus was stronger than his realm.
"The way to defeat a Beast Master is to strike directly at that person." Lazarus says.
"Thank you." Red Eyes said it then continued its assault on the alliance troops.
Akira's heart pounded fiercely, he felt a feeling he had never felt from any man he knew. Akira coated his body with wind elements, then flew towards Lazarus quickly while smiling widely.
Lazarus flew up into the sky using his 6 white bat wings. She learns Akira is the most powerful opponent after Empress Lilith.
Lazarus sighed deeply, then used the Skill he learned from seeing the fight of the 12th birth and the 17th birth of Lucius. He calmed his mind and focused all the senses to Akira's attack.
The Water Stream Sword Art was a sword art like a stream of water. He had to move like a stream of water, but this active Skill could only be used when the heart and mind were as clear as water. He can utilize his opponent's strength to counterattack, a skill that is very suitable when fighting with stronger opponents and has a balanced defense and attack.
Akira smiled widely, then swung his Odachi Artifact.
"The Lightning God Sword Art!"
"Water Stream Sword Art!"
Lazarus' Raegal Sword Artifacts and Odachi's Artifacts clashed against each other. Created a wave where lightning and ice elements due to the impact of the two weapon artifacts.
"Strong!" lazarus and Akira.
Akira retreated backwards, then looked towards Lazarus with a big smile.
"Sufuku. That bastard! You have powers that are not in your realm! It feels unfair, when I fight using my Mythical Rank Ame no Murakumo Tsurugi Artifact." Akira sheathed his Odachi Artifacts on the sword sheath on his back, then took out the Legendary Rank Odachi Artifacts with black blades.
"The Great Slaughter Black Sword artifact, Black Orchid Rank Legendary! Oni, where did you get those Artifacts!?" Lazarus shouting.
"Are you familiar with these Odachi Artifacts? I got it from a woman I met while going to the Western Continent of Zephyra." Akira smiles.
"Where is that woman!"
Lazarus knew the Artifact was an Artifact belonging to Feng Xueyin. He had long since searched for information about Feng Xueyin and Ainsley who had disappeared, but had not gotten their information up to this point.
Akira's red eyes stared intently at Lazarus, as if a predator was staring at its prey. "Isn't it rude to call me Oni? Call me Akira and you can't talk about other women fighting me."
"I want to know the state of the woman who owns the Sword Artifact?" Lazarus asked.
Akira smiles. "Sufuku. If you can beat me, I'll answer all your questions."
Lazarus breathed. "If that's your wish, I'll fight you with all my strength!"
Lazarus strengthened his aura, then coated the Raegal Sword and his body with a white flame element aura.
Akira grinned, then strengthened his aura silver-colored lightning bolts coated his body.
"Swoosh!"
Akira and Lazarus attack together. The clash after clash of weapons created an extremely powerful shockwave.
"Gerarda, his strength is on the same level as Gerarda." Lazarus' inner self.
"A very strong man! He can compensate for my strength." Akira's inner.
...****************...
Hector and Yuno stop the fight for a moment to see Lazarus and Akira fight in the sky.
Hector and Yuno's battle area was shattered. The cliff area overgrown by many trees was destroyed in flames and was cut into pieces due to their fight.
"Well, isn't it time for us to fight seriously?" Hector asked.
"Fuck, a lion beastman like you will never be able to defeat a rank 9 Demon Noble like me!" Yuno strengthened her aura, she then swung her scythe dozens of sharp blades made of wind shot towards Hector. However Hector nimbly dodged all of Yuno's attacks.
Hector smiled broadly. "Have you ever been to the Abyss?"
"Haha. I'll send you to the Abyss!"
"If I had been I would have been hooked, but now it's different. I'll show you something worse than the Abyss." Hector took out a round, black bottle, then broke it.
A black-colored fog spread to the battle area of Hector and Yuno.
"Haha. Poison fog? Do you want to hide and run away? You forgot that my main element is the wind!" Yuno laughed, then swung her scythe a tornado blew away the poisonous mist.
Yuno did not see Hector being there, she then glanced at the surroundings to look for Hector. But he didn't find Hector anywhere.
"Stop hiding like a rat and fight with me!" Yuno shouted confidently.
"Swooosh!"
A green-colored spear shot towards Yuno. Yuno immediately jumped backwards to dodge the spear as she had to conserve mana energy for a long fight.
As Yuno jumped backwards. Hector suddenly appeared from underground and thrust his spear towards Yuno, but Yuno managed to dodge.
Hector smiled broadly. He threw the 3 Throwing Knife Artifacts towards Yuno. Hector learns Yuno won't dodge all of his throwing knives. Yuno managed to dodge all of Hector's throwing knives, but one of Hector's throwing knives managed to scratch Yuno's cheek.
"Fuck! You are so cunning! How does the Western Continent of Zephyra have someone as cunning as you!" Yuno shouted, she felt her skin burning and her heart pounding. He found out Hector had smeared his throwing knife with poison.
"I'm sneaky? Didn't you have 7 of your subordinates hiding and waiting for an opportunity to launch a sneak attack? A Legendary realm and 6-man Epic realm I guess they are highly trained people." Hector smiled.
Yuno drank the Epic Potion Rank, but the poison effect was not completely gone. He learns that the poison used by Hector is the poison of a powerful Beast.
"Haha. Remember not to underestimate anyone! The slightest wound would be fatal in a life and death fight." Hector put up the horses and was ready to fight again.
"You go out and help me!" Yuno yelled out to her hiding followers, but there was no answer.
A beautiful woman with long golden hair, eyes with purple double pupils, wearing silver armor, stepped out from the smoke of the burning trees. He was carrying a silver-colored spear Artifact and a Demon race male head.
Yuno surprised. He learned that the Demon race's male head was his most loyal follower and a trained Legendary realm Assassin.
"Fuck! You guys are so cunning!" Yuno strengthened her aura, she realized the woman was the one who threw the spear at her.
"Magnolia, are you having trouble fighting them?"
"Emperor Hector, they are very powerful and I need a little longer to kill them. When no toxic fumes are thrown at them. I'm gonna need a lot longer to beat them." Magnolia threw the head of the Demon race man towards Yuno.
"Hector The Nine Headed Golden Lion! How could the King of the Beastman Kingdom be so cunning like this!" Yuno trembled slightly.
"Haha. I am not a King now, but an Emperor! Remember in the next life not to underestimate your enemies!" Hector strengthened his aura and then attacked Yuno with Magnolia.
"Level 92! Bastard, you're hiding your powers!" Yuno yells.
