BXBX NOVEL Chapter 159 God’s Wrath
The demons were now facing a relentless assault from both the paladins and the Atlantean Vanguard. The hail of bullets from the Atlantean Vanguard\'s red hulking power armor tore through their ranks like a scythe reaping a field. The concentrated holy energy in the air diluted the demonic corruption, further weakening the demons and instilling in them the fear of death.
The frontline demons were purged by the holy flames and the scorching fire from the Atlantean Vanguard\'s heavy flamethrower. Their bodies were extinguished and turned to ash. Even the large fiend that had emerged from the hell gate moments ago could not regenerate, as the demonic air had transformed into condensed holy energy. It began to melt under the combined might of the paladins and the holy element in the air.
After one minute, Daniel finished gathering his power, and the holy energy reached its peak. The condensed power outside rushed toward the hell gate, melting any demonic beings in its path.
— Inside the Hell\'s Gate —
The demonic beings within the gate were gathered in front, a twisted mass of malevolence and anticipation. Their eyes glinted with glee as they believed their moment of triumph was at hand. They longed to break free from their hellish prison and unleash unspeakable carnage upon the mortal world.
The atmosphere crackled with anticipation as the demonic horde prepared to cross the threshold, but their jubilation was short-lived. Suddenly, the air inside the hell dimension began to shift, and the ground trembled beneath their clawed feet. From the hell gate, a massive surge of holy elements burst forth, rushing like a mighty river. The demonic beings initially laughed in arrogance, dismissing the surge as a mere nuisance.
However, their arrogant laughter soon turned to horrified screams. The holy element, now condensed and potent, acted like a relentless tide. It washed over the demonic horde, searing their malevolent forms. Their twisted bodies disintegrated in the presence of such divine power, and the once-gleeful demons were reduced to mere ashes before the unstoppable force.
Inside the hell dimension, the demons found themselves engulfed in blinding light as the condensed holy element began to fill the air. Their malevolence now twisted into terror and despair. They had been so close to escaping their infernal prison, but the divine forces had other plans.
The fabric of the hell dimension seemed to tear open as the wrath of the gods manifested in a colossal beam of divine light. The brilliance of heaven poured forth, illuminating the darkness of the demonic realm. The demons, once gleeful in their anticipation at the flesh and blood of mortals, now quaked in terror. The terrifying might of heaven\'s wrath was upon them, and their illusions of triumph shattered like fragile glass.
As the divine light penetrated the fabric of space between heaven and hell, its brilliance intensified, radiating with unprecedented power. The demonic dimension, vast and malevolent, was about to experience devastation unlike anything it had ever known.
The gleeful demons, once on the brink of breaking free, now faced an unimaginable force of wrath. The divine beam of light expanded, engulfing the hell dimension in its scorching embrace. The demonic beings, no matter how powerful, were utterly defenseless before the might of heaven.
In an instant, the landscape of hell transformed into a canvas of destruction. The divine light incinerated everything in its path, cleansing all demonic fortresses and demonic beings to naught but ashes. The ground cracked and splintered, and the fiery abyss that once teemed with malice was consumed by the radiance of righteousness.
As the God\'s Wrath spell reached its apex, the cataclysmic power tore through the very essence of the hell dimension. The demonic realm that had once stretched as far as the eyes can see now lay waste by heavenly might, and none of the demonic building was destroyed; it was only cleansed and devoid of all demonic corruption. The magnitude of devastation was inconceivable, as eight out of every ten demonic structures and beings were consumed by the all-consuming divine fury.
The demons that had been so eager to step into the mortal world were now nothing more than lost souls, trapped in the remnants of their once-mighty realm. The surviving demons wailed and shrieked, their once-proud civilization reduced to ashes and ruins.
In the aftermath of the divine onslaught, a heavy silence settled over the remnants of the hell dimension. The air was thick with the lingering power of the divine light, a reminder of the overwhelming force that had been unleashed upon the malevolent realm.
The demonic horde, once filled with glee and anticipation, now stood defeated and broken. The very essence of their realm had been shattered and cleansed, leaving behind an eerie calm and an overwhelming sense of desolation.
— Outside the Hell\'s Gate —
Outside the hell gate, Daniel, his forces, and the paladins bore witness to the cataclysmic event unleashed by Daniel\'s God\'s Wrath spell. Even they could not have fathomed the extent of the destruction that this spell would bring. It was a testament to the inexorable power of heaven\'s fury, transcending space and time to assert its divine dominance.
In this moment, the power of Daniel\'s God\'s Wrath spell had forever altered the balance between good and evil. The heavens had spoken, and their wrath had left an indelible mark on the demonic realm. The surviving demons outside the Hell\'s Gate were left to bear witness to the terrifying consequences of their malevolence.
The piercing screech of fear reverberated as all the surviving demons outside the gate of hell quickly retreated inside it in terror. Not even an ounce of bravery or malicious intent was left. Now, they saw Daniel\'s face, and the only thing displayed in their fiery red eyes was fear and despair as they ran inside their dimension that was now cleansed, devastated, and devoid of demonic life and its corruption.
"Now, Captain, you can destroy the hell gate," Daniel said to his Atlantean Vanguard captain, who was still awe-struck at the cataclysmic scene inside the hell gate.
"Yes, sir!" The captain received the command, and his subordinates quickly picked up two rocket launchers.
But at that moment, inside the hell gate, the two large demonic beings had fearful eyes and were trembling at the thought of the dreadful human who unleashed the cataclysm in their hell dimension. However, they suddenly turned into the most motivated workers in hell.
They channeled all of their might to destroy two of the Hell Gate pillars from the inside, desperately trying to shut off the portal and avoid a potential visit from the dreadful human. Surprisingly, closing the portal from within was a walk in the hellish park for these terrified demons, who just wanted to escape any further consequences from the human havoc.
This scene stunned both the Atlantean Vanguards and the paladins who witnessed it. It was the first time they saw demons fear a mortal being like this. It was as if they were rats that saw a prehistoric giant python!
Especially for the paladins, they knew that once the hell gate was open, it was hard to close, and it was many times easier to close it from the inside rather than from the outside. Throughout their history, many holy warriors and paladins sacrificed their lives to close the hell gate, as no weapon in ancient times could destroy the hell gate pillar from the outside.
If someone had told them that the demons would be very cooperative in closing it from the inside themselves, they wouldn\'t have believed it and might have even beaten up those who suggested such nonsense. But today, they had witnessed this unbelievable scene! They didn\'t know if they were dreaming or already awake. The whole situation felt like a bizarre fantasy come to life in the most unexpected way!
The captain of the Atlantean Vanguard suddenly regained his wits, stunned by the unbelievable scene before him. He quickly turned toward his subordinates and barked out orders.
"Fan out and search! Lucian Blackscar must be here somewhere!" The Atlantean Vanguard captain commanded his troops.
— Sewer Hidden Chamber —
Deep within the hidden depths of the sewage system, a concealed chamber lay hidden. Magnus Alchemont stood in front of a large door that separated the ritual chamber behind him, feeling an overwhelming mix of emotions—complicated and dread.
The source of his dread was none other than the reflection within the orb in his hand. It portrayed the power of Magitek, his supposed enemy, and the cataclysmic event within the hell dimension that he had just witnessed.
The power of the spell that Daniel had unleashed was equal to the forbidden spells strictly forbidden by the law of the hightower. No, equal was an understatement; its power far surpassed such forbidden spells. It was even more potent than the spell that ended the great war between mages, demonic forces, and supernatural beings 1500 years ago—a spell that obliterated the mainland of Southeast Asia.
"Should I stay or should I go?" Magnus Alchemont, the lord of the Alchemont clan, muttered with uncertainty, hesitating on whether to proceed outside the hidden chamber. He had promised Lucian to delay Daniel\'s advance, but doubt clouded his mind.
