Chapter 162: Primordial Goddess
Erika slowly lowered her hand, staring at the fireworks in the sky.
"..."
BOOM!!
"GRAAAAA!!!"
Aaron, and the group watched in utter shock, as the arrows moved, instead of exploding... They kept on moving, striking more than five monsters, before exploding into colorful lights.
They all thought that was all, but to their horror, the lights were more poisonous than the most deadly poison ever created.
"It seems my arrows skills are all merged into one." Erika said in mild surprised.
"Now, this is Doom." Aaron said with a smile, and tap Calamity's head.
"What are you waiting for? [Destruction blast]."
The six-headed Dragon opened all its jaws, and released torrent of six different flames towards the chaotic monsters.
BOOOOOOOOOM!!!
The blast was so powerful, it divided the monsters line into halves.
"I thought we'll get ourselves killed, but it seems I was wrong." Scarlett, who stood on a white rare-class eagle said, staring at the monsters, falling from the sky.
"Ok, Attack!!! But keep your distance from the light!!" Jennifer yelled, and her bat shot forward.
Mira and Maria, looked at one another and smirked.
Before Jennifer knew what was happening, the two leaped off Garuda, her bat; and dive to the ground.
Reaper, Azazel and Apate quickly followed behind.
"FUSION!!!"
They both yelled together, instantly... Their pet turned into trail of light, and enveloped their bodies.
Feeling the increase in energy, Aaron lowered his gaze to the ground, staring at the two lights.
"Uh?"
BAM!!!!!
The two girls landed on the ground, creating cracks on it.
"Fufufu! This is Fun!!"
Whoosh!!
Mira, who was now a half snake and half human, with scales all over her body, slithered towards the monsters moving towards them with incredible speed, while Maria, who was in a white armor, spread out her white feathery wings, and shot into the air.
BANG!!
"Protect Maria, Leave Mira to us."
Reaper commanded, and moved towards Mira, his claws elongating into swords.
Azazel nodded, and followed behind Maria, while Apate followed Reaper, drawing both her swords.

[500 meters above the group, high in the clouds.]
Nosferatu and the other lords stood, watching the battle below.
"This?! How did Michael get so many Mystical-class weapons?!" Sword saint asked in mild shock.
***Who cares? The Nightmare Legions are weak without the Ruler... So they'll be in a disadvantage, We can only assist.*** Canine said, summoning his sword.
"Yeah, Come on." Nosferatu nodded,
Before they could move, a wave of flames moved towards them.
"....!!!"
Whooosh!!
The three leaped to the side, dodging the attacks.
"Who dares?!!" Nosferatu hissed out.
"**Oh! These guys dodged my attack.**"
"Uh?"
The three looked up, seeing Destroyers and Drakon walking towards them, both using the air like a ground.
"Who are you?" Canine asked, staring at Destroyers.
"**A servant of the Ruler**"
Shoosh!!
Destroyers instantly disappeared into space.
"This?"
The three lords were stunned, moving their gazes all over the place.
"**Where is your partner?!!**" Sword saint asked, pointing her sword at Drakon.
"They're not my partner... And. I don't know."
"You!!"
BAM!!!
A force struck Sword Saint, throwing her meters away, shattering more than twenty clouds in the process.
"What??"
The group turned to Drakon, who shrugged his shoulders.
"What Abomination is this??" Nosferatu asked, trying his best to locate Destroyers.
"I can't detect them, even my divinity is giving me nothing... Whatever that monster is, disappeared from existence."
"**YOU DARE CALL US A MONSTER!!!!!**"
Destroyers's voice sounded all over the place, it was so loud that everyone, both the players, monsters and lords dropped to their knees, holding their ears, their faces filled with pain.
"What the hell is this?!!!"
Aaron yelled, holding his ears.
Apate and Reaper moved their gazes around in mild confusion.
"*What's releasing such sound?*" Apate asked.
"*Above us.*" Reaper looked up at the sky. "*Watch Mira!*"
BOOOM!!!
He shot into the air, and transformed into a huge golden dragon... Increasing his speed.
Apate moved her gaze around, seeing everyone on their knees, well... Apart from Jennifer, Erika and Tyson... The rest, both players and monsters were on their knees.
Erika moved her confused gaze around the place:
"I don't know what's happening, but this is the best time to kill these guys."
She lunged forward, her bow transforming into a sword.
__
"Hey! Three-headed bird! Stop that!" Drakon said in a calm tone.
Destroyers walked out from thin air, and fixed their gazes on the three Lords.
"**Not after I kill them.**"
BOOOOM!!!!
Both Destroyers and Drakon looked up at the sky, seeing a beautiful lady descending towards them. Her presence instantly blocked Destroyers's pressure from the lords.
"This?"
The three looked up at the Lady, and shakily stood up from the ground.
"Thank you, Primordial goddess; Eris!"
Nosferatu said in a low voice.
Eris stared at them for some second, and turned her head to Destroyers and Drakon, who were now serious.
"I promised your Ruler something."
Eris smiled, and added:
"And I plan to fulfill it."
"**We won't let you hurt Mira!!**" Des yelled.
"Fufufu... Look below you, all those Humans, Michael care for every one of them... Killing any, will hurt him, don't you think so?"
"....."
"**You!!**"
Destroyers and Drakon were stunned.
Whoosh!!!
Reaper burst out from the clouds, and hovered behind the two, staring at Eris and the lords in confusion.
"*What is happening, Lizard?!*" He asked.
"Just this bitch, saying some stupid stuffs!" Drakon spat out.
Eris stared at Reaper's transformation in surprise, but still nodded her head.
"The Drakons' King... I see Michael has been busy."
"Retreat or we'll attack!" Drakon hissed out.
"Retreat... Fufufu, It seems you don't know me."
Eris pointed a finger at the group: "I'll start with you. [Chaos Void]."
A red lightning shot out from her fingers, moving towards the three.
"**What's This?!! We can't move!!**" Yers exclaimed in shock.
"Same!!" Drakon said in mild horror.
Reaper was the only one, who could move, but he was still slow to react to the attack.
BOOOOOOOOM!!!!
Eris lowered her hand with a smile on her face. "I wonder how Michael will-- What?!"
"I see some pests have grown wings."
Everyone stared at Michael in pure horror... Eris took a step back in fear.
"Impossible!! You shouldn't be able to summon a soul manifestation!! What realm are you on?!!" She yelled, still moving backward in fear.
Michael looked at his hand, and raised his head to her:
"If Typhon could do it, what make you think I can not?" He asked... His overcoat moving with the wind.
Whooosh!!
Whoosh!!
Whoosh!!
Whooosh!!
Whoosh!!
Eris looked at Havoc, Eins, Zwei, Drei, Shenras and Campe who appeared above Michael, their gazes fixed on her.
"Eris, Last warning... If you attack any of my family or friends, You'll beg me to kill you." Michael's eyes shone a bright golden light.
"We'll see, Abyssal Ruler... We will see."
She turned around, and walked away.
"**I thought you said you don't retreat!!**" Yers yelled.
Eris looked over her shoulder, her gaze on Yers... After some seconds, she turned around and disappeared with the lords.
Michael turned to the group:
"New task... Help them lead Aaron to the mountain, no matter what it takes, make sure they complete it before today runs out!" He sighed:
"Eris has power in this realm, She could come and go as she pleases, and that's dangerous... They might be S-Rank gates back home, but at least, they have a high surviving chance there." He looked down, staring at Erika, Mira and the rest with a small smile.
"Look after them."

With that said, he shattered into golden lights, and flew away.
"You heard the Ruler... Some of us will be in the shadows, Shenras, Drakon, and Campe will work in the open." Havoc said, and disappeared without waiting for anyone answer.
"Does that guy know I'm the first Lord?" Drakon asked in mild confusion.
Shenras smiled at him:
"To Havoc, you're still young... And you haven't gotten hold of your strength."
"I have."
"No, because you could have blocked that attack, or escape, but you couldn't... You still have a lot to learn." She smiled, and turned to the Blades.
"You almost killed me, Eins!"
Eins stared at her for some seconds, turned around and disappeared.
"Always Arrogant."
She shook her head, and turned to the second and third blades.
"We'll get going."
The two said in unison, and disappeared.
"Same."
Destroyers disappeared, leaving the group behind.
"Ok, let's go back." Reaper said, transforming back to his original appearance.

[Five minutes Later.]
"This was easy." Tyson said, tossing a red core on his palm.
"Who would have thought we gained so much soul essence?!!" James asked, staring at the pile of cores before him.
Jennifer smiled, and turned to Erika, Maria and Mira.
"You felt it too?" Mira asked in surprised.
"Yes, Like Michael was above us." Erika said.
"You two have start again!" Maria was irritated.
"Hmm..."
Jennifer turned to Reaper, and...
"Drakon?"
Mira: "Drakon?"
Everyone turned their heads around, seeing the young man descending from the sky.
"Drakon? Isn't that the name of Michael's pet Dragon?" James asked, staring at the young man.
"Yeah, I remembered... That's the name."
A man nodded.
"Why are you here? Shouldn't you be in Draconian?" Erika asked, walking towards him.
"Well, Partner asked me to assist you guys." Drakon said, scratching the back of his head.
"Assist us? That's not needed... Look around, we dealt with these guys! What can stop us?!" Niki asked.
"Well..."
The group, and Drakon turned their heads to Aaron, who stopped before them.
"You guys do know we haven't entered the gods' grave... We're still in the tree territory." He added, pointing at the huge tree.
"So what are you saying?" Rahond asked.
"I'm saying, We don't know what's waiting for us in there, and we'll need his help."
Aaron turned his head to the lady behind Drakon. "Who is this?" He asked.
"Campe... A friend." Drakon answered.
"Campe?" Jennifer raised an eyebrow, but didn't say anything, just staring at the lady.
"Hello everyone, Michael also sent me with Drakon." Campe said.
Jennifer and the group, nodded, while she gestured to Reaper, and Erika to follow her.
'What happend?'
Aaron thought; watching Jennifer and the two, who stopped some meters from them.
