Chapter 188 - Demon and Cultivators at the Gates!
There was a sense of apprehension and uncertainty in the waters as five Calamities of the Sea swam in the waters above the shining city of magic and technology that was Atlantis.
The Ocean Master was at the forefront with legions of Atlanteans and Merfolk commanders riding [Killer Whales] and [Battle Sharks], as well as many other deep-sea creatures.
Gloriously shining Hydro Cannons lined the entirety of the walls of the city of Atlantis with many Atlanteans carrying Plasma Guns spread throughout.
OONG
An oppressive feeling had begun to appear from a distance not too far away as the people wishing them harm neared.
The area surrounding Atlantis that was normally lit up by a gorgeous blue color from the advanced weapons and barriers that surrounded the entire city was gradually being pervaded by a shade of red as powerful figures drew closer and closer to the city.
The first one to become visible to the inhabitants of Atlantis was a powerful demon wearing an exquisite suit of armor. It let out a glorious red light that seemed to be pushing away the normal blue colors of the sea.
Not a single weapon was in his hands as he stood grandly in the sea overlooking the five Phantasmal ranked beings floating above the waters of Atlantis. His eyes seemed to show great interest towards the five calamities, as a devouring light passed through his eyes.
More and more figures began to appear around him as his eyes wandered over his target today. Rulers of the Demon World of various ranks started to line up behind him with their Demon Legions filled with orcs, goblins, trolls, and many other ferocious-looking creatures.
The pervading red light from the forces of demons continued to intrude the area as the dark sea seemed to be clashing with two opposing forces. Some of the Demon Legions were riding on creatures commonly known in the Demon World, it was the fearsome [Behemoths] that were larger than 10 meters.
[Behemoths] were capable of flight and were normally the perfect beasts to ride into battle. Their bodies were shining red and looking extremely disfigured and bloated, but the flat surface on their back was being occupied by many powerful demons.
Aside from Baal, there were other Rulers at the Phantasmal rank that were in the Lost World with him. There was the fearsome-looking giant that was the [Orc Emperor] and ranked 3rd, it was Prince Vassago.
Riding on another Behemoth was the Ruler at the 9th rank that was known as Empress Paimon. She had a tremendously bountiful figure that would cause the envy of many women as she stood on a chair made of bones.
Baal had pulled all the stops as besides them, two more Rulers of the PHANTASMAL rank had recently left their missions on other worlds to descend into the lost world of Atlantis. Ranked 4th and 12th, it was respectively the Cruel Monarch, Samigina, and the Seductress, Sitri.
The line up of the Rulers of the Demon World was unexpectedly five PHANTASMAL ranked individuals, with many other Rulers in the Mythical and Legendary ranks filling up the ranks of their army. More than half of the power of one World was congregated in the Lost World for Baal's purposes.
It did not take long before hundreds of thousands of figures different from the demons also began to appear in the dark waters. The other group of invaders were the ones that studied the laws of the world at a very young age and had arrogance ingrained in their bones, it was the Cultivators.
Martial Uncle Dylan and Sect Master Inuit had also arrived at the scene.
From the Mountain Sea Sect, Martial Uncle Dylan brought two other Martial Uncles at the Golden Transformation Realm that was equivalent to the PHANTASMAL rank. Although their mysterious use of laws made them much more formidable opponents of the same level.
There were also lower-ranked Martial Uncles at the Rebirth Realm(Mythical) and their disciples that were surrounded by colorful bubbles of air that pushed out the dark waters.
The other group of cultivators were more mysterious, having calm expressions as they looked over the many beings congregating here today. This was the group of Cultivators from the Karmic Sect. Their bodies had thin barriers of transparent light that made them stand out even more in the dark waters as they stood orderly behind their Sect Master.
Sect Master Inuit had a calm smile on his face as his eyes wandered across the many beings in front of him. A white light occasionally passed through his eyes as he seemed to be using a mysterious skill to look for something, or someone. After a few seconds, he shook his head in slight frustration and regained his usual calm as he went back to his normal expression. He had not found what he was looking for.
Something interesting to understand was the title of the two leaders of cultivators in the Lost World. From the Mountain Sea Sect, there was a prominent Martial Uncle leading divisions of the sect, while from the Karmic Sect, someone with the title of Sect Master was leading their forces.
A being with the title of Sect Master in the World of Cultivation was never one to look down on, and yet his forces remained the quietest in this incoming battle as they reigned in their auras and continued looking forward calmly.
This was a force that many people were overlooking at this moment in time. Baal had overlooked them as just another set of arrogant Cultivators he could use and work with before their relationship eventually fell apart after they found the location of the trident. Martial Uncle Dylan had a sense of apprehension as he knew a bit more about the mysteriousness of the Karmic Sect in the World of Cultivation, but even he did not give this Sect Master the proper attention.
This single mysterious Sect Master would be a huge factor in the events to unfold, and yet almost nobody knew anything about him.
At this moment in time though, another commotion arose as within the ranks of Demon Legions, pairs of green lights began to appear en masse as they indicated the arrival of something terrible.
A harrumph came out of Baal's mouth as he looked back and saw tens of thousands of undead stand with the forces of other demons closely. The dense amounts of green eyes continued to swim closer as more than a hundred thousand undead appeared among the ranks of demons, making the eyes of the defenders of Atlantis turn sour.
The Calamities of the Sea looked at all this closely as their bodies pulsed with power, indicating they would move at any moment.
A moment passed as the movements of the undead finished, and a red light began to bloom near Baal's position as a gorgeous figure of someone who could barely be 19 or 20 years of age appeared. A red dress was dr.a.p.ed over her body as the Necromancer of Chaos, Barbatos, appeared.
"Haha, the main event has appeared, so why don't we get this show on the road?"
She had a playful expression as she appeared in the dark waters packed with multiple PHANTASMAL ranked beings.
