BXBX NOVEL Chapter 487 Army To Devour
During the hours that passed, the Fallen Spawn was betting on the mortal warriors to lose out on their strength. And when he was sure that he had exhausted the strength of Krysta, Angelian, and the few Cardinals, the Coins moved.
The armies rushed without hesitation to deal the final blow.
But suddenly, everyone revealed might and energy! Angelian was revealed to have been reborn and slew more Coins.
The Fallen Spawn was shocked that everyone could still shoot out attacks and ordered his armies to surround the sides. Only there did the Fallen Spawn discover that another army had hidden on the other side of the mountain!
With the hidden army discovered, Sherah led her forces and merged with the main army. The numbers had grown more than five times!
The Fallen Spawn realized his mistake in forcing a battle of attrition and changed his strategy. He began to gather energy from the heart and devoured the remaining stocks of food they had spared to give birth to powerful Cardinal beasts known as the Greed Lords.
Greed Lords had the strength that could even surpass Silvers. But unlike the Silvers and Coins that controlled an army, Greed Lords were individual beasts of Greed that would only use their powers to strengthen themselves.
Greed Lords of ground and sky were born shortly as the army of Coins brought in the dead creatures that were allowed to live within the body of Gigantes.
And these gigantic creatures of Greed charged to the frontlines of the battle. But Sherah also revealed her aces. An army of spiders finally revealed itself. Apart from the many spiders that would charge out recklessly, many were feeding on the dead Greedlings and Greedlores and began to glow with strange blood energy.
It was inconceivable that a mere Hive Queen would command spiders that could transfer blood to others and restore power. Only those with Greed would have had that ability high-tier vampires! Only those directly born from a Vampire Fallen could have to do this!
Even with the Greedlords attacking at any opening they could get, the army remained standing.
Drink and Devour fought. The injection of death energy empowered the drained soldiers. And just when the Fallen Spawn thought the death energy being injected into many humans would cause a backlash, the humans remained capable of fighting and did not fall into a Mad Darkening state!
Seeing that many mysteries and impossibilities were taking place, the Fallen Spawn altered his strategy and created Siege Cultivators.
But right before the battle began, the Fallen Spawn felt a severing power that pushed him out of the heart!
It was then that the Antibodies moved forward and announced the change of the deal.
Krysta and the rest realized that Nightwing had succeeded in sealing a deal. With the Antibodies out of the picture, they had hope for victory.
Pressed with time and the terror of the angel, the Fallen Spawn ordered an all-out charge.
The army of Greedlings charged toward the small alliance of humans, demi-humans, and other humanoid races.
It was not like the former attacks where all the Coins and Silver would use their endless children to wear the enemies out. It was now a charge that spared no limits. Following the will of their master, everyone was charging without any regard for their life.
"Go all out!" Sherah shouted as she ordered the spiders to move out. The massive tarantula\'s lord emerged and moved at the front. Sherah knew there was no time to remain conservative. Even though she might lose all her children, she was confident that she would easily recover them.
Monica fought with her best and stood at the front lines! Her mastery and forming power, thanks to the blessings and power of Nightwing allowed her to hold her ground.
The spiders began to bite and drain themselves as they empowered all the strongest cultivators first.
The Cardinals began to release the full force of their power. They were no longer afraid to inflict great damage on the ground and the mountainside.
Explosions rang out all around.
Angelian and Krysta also moved out and fought their hardest.
Sherah saw the two and cursed. She knew that the two were fighting to save many.
"Idiots! Lord Nightwing will devour everyone here!" Sherah cursed.
But the two did not listen. Instead, in the hours they fought, the two desired to save everyone!
The Greed Lords and the Silver fought against Angelian, and Angelian was being pushed back.
Krysta did her best to assist Angelian, but her attacks could only annoy the Greed Lords and Silver.
His body was flickering, and many of the fighters could see her body suddenly become transparent. She was trembling, and she had no choice but to release the power of Devour to eat away the corpses below.
The battle raged wildly. But this was the chance that Fallen Spawn had. He could not merge with the heart before since there was resistance and Krysta\'s attacks disrupted his attempt. But now, Krysta was overwhelmed with the battle that he could not complete it.
The Gigantes also agreed to give the portion. The other mountain pushed out a large boulder from the heart.
The boulder was full of life and death energy. And the Fallen Spawn began to merge with it.
"I must hurry!" The Fallen Spawn moved with haste.
The power of Greed was very, very compatible with the Gigantes. Greed sought out all the precious stones. And the Gigantes was a massive mine just waiting to be harvested. So, with the power of Earth and the Fallen Spawn\'s power of great death, it began to form a new element.
Gold.
Angelian and Krysta tried to move and break through the ranks to hit the Fallen Spawn. However, they could sense that the Fallen Spawn was transforming into a force that would even be stronger than the individual Antibodies.
"I will devour you all! The Dragon! The Ghost! The Spider! I, Bar-Mammon, will kill you!" The Fallen Spawn vowed.
"Angelian tried to charge through the ranks, but the Greed Lords all made attacks that sent Angelian flying and falling back.
BANG!
Angelian landed on the ground and could barely move. Spiders surrounded her, and Sherah herself appeared.
"No..." Angelian cursed.
"You idiot! Why did you do that?! These men are food for Nightwing! Why rebel?! You wanted to fight and save them before he arrived. Nightwing would have no choice but to fight them if they were strong enough!"
"I just... can\'t..." Angelian wept.
With Angelian down, the Cardinals and Commanders were all forced to fight an all-out battle.
Both armies were dwindling and dying out. The corpses were piling out, and Krysta had no choice but to hide and absorb more energy among the dead as the rest of the Cardinals and Commanders fought on.
The Gold Fallen was taking form, and his figure was that of a thin man.
He opened his eyes and saw the remaining armies.
"Return to me... All shall return! All my armies! All shall be devoured and fed to me! Return to my belly from whence you came!" The Gold ordered.
At the orders of the Gold, all the Greedlings, Greedlores, Greed Lords, Coins, and Silvers began to retreat!
They all ran towards the Gold, who was now using a great power of [Devour]. All that moved within five meters of where he stood would suddenly vanish.
It was like a small black hole appearing!
"Kill them! The more he eats, the stronger he becomes!" Monica warned.
Everyone began to launch their attacks and chase after the retreating armies of Greed.
"Kill them! Don\'t conserve any energy! Our master is coming!" Monica shouted.
"No! Everyone!" Krysta realized what was happening.
But before she could speak, several spiders leaped over her and pinned her down.
The army did not notice as they chased after the creatures of Greed.
But the army of Greed was too fast, and the soldiers could not keep up.
"It\'s too late! Retreat!" A Cardinal saw that attacking anymore was useless, and they needed to conserve their strength.
WARP!
"No. Push forward! Attack with everything you\'ve got!"
Above the skies was a being of great holy energy.
"Angel!" The Gold Fallen shouted.
"Bar-Mammon! To think that I would find the first son of Mammon in this Gigantes!" The angel laughed and held out his hand.
Nightwing could see that he had another attack that he could use after offering the armies in the teleportation chamber.
He held out his two hands forward and took aim at the Black Hole.
Back in Middle, the Nephilim Sealing Fortress was glowing with light.
"Master Kyros is using Holy Beam!" A mage apprentice sensed it.
"Activate the Holy Enhancer! The experiment of the Emberdons should be activated!"
The Fortress flashed an immense amount of light and sent all the energy to the source.
Back inside the Gigantes, Nightwing sensed the surging divine energy.
"Now that\'s what I\'m talking about, old self!" Nightwing smiled.
"[Holy Beam]!"
