NOVPUB"Hmm, it’s been a few hours since I sent the command for the hell creatures to raid them. Presumably, they’re dead by now. I can still revive and refine them into a great addition to my collection, keke."
The Evil God of Artificial Hell’s soul remnant emerged from his resting place as a wisp. He used his authority to peek into the Hell Trial rather excitedly.
After all, he would receive some good minions and a new vessel. His previous command was about to kill all challengers except for that one... the blood dragon devil, Sylvia.
Instead of finding the challenger group’s corpses, he found a large-scale mass destruction that destroyed an enormous area on the border of the sky tower zone.
Countless hell creatures vanished, and another series of explosions continued to be launched to wipe out the monsters. 𝓃𝓸𝓋𝓅𝓊𝒷.𝓬𝓸𝓂
He painstakingly refined and nurtured those hell creatures in the past, and it took him thousands of years to have those armies. All of that was for a comeback and revenge against the heavens!
However, everything was destroyed by his would-be minions!? They were actually stronger than he could ever imagine, and they also possessed many holy weapons!
While he was still shocked, the challengers advanced toward the sky tower zone. However, the hell creatures around the border had been completely eradicated and could no longer be revived.
"Unforgivable! Stop right there!" The Evil God was beyond furious. He manifested his authority and entered the Hell Trial as the gigantic head in the fiery blue sky.
"Keep moving forward!" Ely used her flying magic item to fly forward swiftly. She was still close to the ground, but she set the magic item to the maximum flight speed.
Everyone formed a defensive formation, and they entered the sky tower zone. Noir was also flying using a similar magic item because it wasn’t time for him to act.
The ground was dark-purple, and the evil energy contained in the soil had a dangerous contamination rate. Not to mention, the hellfire was extraordinarily hot and fierce there.
"Hell Guardian Golems, arise!" The Evil God summoned his strongest minions immediately as he could not let the challengers go further into the sky tower.
*Boom!*
The land of fiery hell around the sky tower soared high. Four colossal human-like golems rose from their resting places.
Fire, soil, rock, and metal. Each golem had its elements, transcending beyond the 10th Rank, regardless of the mortal realm’s suppression.
"Troublesome ants. You will pay for what you have done to my Hell Trial!" The Evil God sent another command to strengthen his Supreme Guardian, Golems.
*Rumble!*
The temperature and the evil energy’s corruption rate increased drastically. Ely’s group was protected by heat resistance and advanced anti-debuff talismans.
"He has appeared and gone mad. Avoid battle if possible! Let’s go straight to the sky tower! We’re almost there." Ely stared at the sky and bit her lower lips.
She didn’t know how many super monsters the Evil God still kept, but the four colossal demonic golems over there were above 10th Rank...
"Yes!" Everyone responded and kept moving.
*Boom!*
A big earthquake happened. The sea of fire became violent. Several huge waves of super hot lava rushed toward them.
A massive soil golem’s hand then emerged from the ground, about to crush everyone from a very close range.
"!?" Sylvia immediately used her shield to fend off the massive golem’s hand, knowing some people couldn’t dodge in time.
*Bam!*
"It’s so heavy! Move quickly!" Sylvia cried out loudly as she couldn’t withstand it in mid-air for long.
"Freeze." Yuuki froze that massive golem’s hand, but she couldn’t crush it easily. It took time, but Sylvia would be crushed by then.
The four golems were still far away, but the soil golem’s hands attacked them remotely.
"Why is it so heavy!? I can’t stand it." Sylvia grunted in annoyance. She was rooted to the ground, and the place she stood became like a massive spider crack.
"The Evil God strengthened them with layered buffs. Sylvi, get out of there!" Ely was about to turn around to save Sylvia.
However, Evelyn gestured to Ely before shooting back like a lightning bolt.
*Zap*
Evelyn assisted Sylvia in escaping.
*Bam!*
The massive soil golem’s hand hit the ground but didn’t crush anyone.
"Damn, you!" Sylvia picked up a rock, enveloped it in her dark flames, then threw it high into the sky.
It pierced through the gigantic demonic head in the sky of blazing blue fire without leaving any effect since it was just a projection.
"Haha, useless. Tremble and despair! My Guardian Golems are immortal!" The Evil God laughed loudly.
"That’s just counterfeit things with fake immortality. If it’s a fight between giants, then I also have one! Noir!" Sylvia shouted and raised her hand high into the sky.
"Roar!" Noir roared and transformed his body into his original form.
The little magma black dragon was enveloped by hot lava and grew to the size of a mountain.
Sylvia climbed onto Noir’s head and immediately led everyone there. "Hop up! I’ll use acceleration magic on this big boy to rush to the sky tower. We don’t know how many trump cards he still has in store for us in this dead zone! But that coward doesn’t dare to come down to face us."
"Move, move. We are pressed for time." Ely gave a signal to everyone and quickly got on Noir’s back.
Once everyone got on board, Noir immediately shot off at top speed. He occasionally planted his feet on the ground to accelerate his momentum.
Thanks to Sylvia’s acceleration magic, the mountain-sized Noir was moving like a massive missile.
"This is really crazy but exciting!" Zi Xuan exclaimed excitedly. She gripped the holy maiden’s clothes tightly as she didn’t want to be blown away and left in this accursed hell.
"It won’t be that easy! Arise, my glorious undead demon armies!" The Evil God summoned his armies that were buried around the sky tower.
Countless powerful undead demons rose from their graves and immediately dashed off to attack the approaching dragon. The four golems also prepared for a fierce clash with the mountain-sized dragon.
Ely took out her SS Rank Seraphic Twilight Bow and pulled the string. She then immediately released the holy light arrow to clean their path.
*Swoosh!*
The arrow of holy light shot out like a super fast comet. Anything that came in contact with the holy light arrow was reduced to dust. It even pierced through the colossal golem, trying to deflect the arrow, and left a massive hole in its body.
"Attack anything that comes close. Sylvi, we’ll clean the path. Please order Noir to immediately climb the sky tower to the top. Ask him to make his body size a bit smaller. He becomes an easy target now. Also, please move faster. Noir, we’re counting on you!" Ely gave her command while shooting several arrows at the approaching undead creatures.
The arrows she released were weaker than the previous one because her SS Rank bow’s ultimate move was still on a full month cooldown. It was just normal light elemental attacks.
Evelyn, Yuuki, Kirara, and Ely’s disciples immediately attacked any impending threats.
Sylvia amplified her acceleration magic to buff Noir’s speed more, and she also asked him to make his body size smaller but still enough to accommodate everyone. That way, her magic would work more effectively.
*Rumble!* *Rumble!*
Several fiery meteors fell from the sky. Yuuki aimed her ice bow at the sky and immediately released her ice arrows.
The fiery meteors instantly turned into gigantic chunks of ice, but the threat was still there as those ice meteors would still fall on them.
"You stupid vixen, crush them, or those giant chunks of ice will fall on us!" Sylvia looked up and complained.
"I’m trying, but the evil energy in the air makes my technique less effective." Yuuki clenched her fist. The giant chunks of ice in the sky cracked and shattered before falling down on them.
"!!!" Noir looked up at the sky tower, which was very high and large. He gulped his saliva nervously because he wasn’t sure he could climb this sky-high tower.
He couldn’t fly too high off the ground because of the hell’s strange restriction. So, he had no choice but to climb the sky tower like a gecko...
*Bam!*
Noir took his first step onto the tower wall and gripped it tightly with his sharp and long nails. He slowly climbed up but took a spiral path around the tower so he would not become an easy target for the monsters down there.
"Shot shot them down. Don’t let them follow us." Yuuki continued to shoot many ice arrows to freeze any creatures that tried to attack or get close to them.
"We’re trying our best..." Gabriella panted because these continuous long-range attacks were really energy-consuming.
She and the other disciples felt exhausted, and it was only a matter of time before their spiritual energy was depleted.
However, it was a life-and-death situation. Nobody was allowed to mess up their master’s plans. It was to open their escape path and get their revenge on the Evil God above. They were already so close.
