HOLY SMITE!
The spell was the bread and butter of the priest class in terms of offense, it started doing very little damage in its early stages but it increased drastically during an individual's fourth evolution. It was a common misconception to think that Clerics were only able to heal wounds and boost the power of their allies with blessings, they were some that focus on the mastery of offensive spells such as Holy Nova, Divine Spark and others.
The moment the spell was casted, there was a flash and then a thunderous sound filled the room before the ceiling was broken through by a column of heat that descended from the sky above.
Everything happened in a second, Pendragon stare at the scene in front of him but didn't do anything to stop it since the order to kill Rahz by the God of Justice was still in place. The moment Rahz died from the attack, he could just shrugged off and pass the blame to the hasty priest. Even if it cost him one of his subordinates it was a bargain if he acquired the weapon.
The Disappearance of Rahz and the others during the Tempering War put a lot of stress on Pendragon, Odos was so enraged that he almost collected his soul on the spot. Nobody had any clues as to what happened to them, it was as if they had vanished from the Realm and by mere coincidence almost 7 years later, he found him.
The column of Holy Power descended but the moment it reached within a foot of Rahz it was stopped by a magic ward that got thinner the more power it absorbed and disappeared along with the Smite with amazing precision.
PUNISHMENT!! JUDGEMENT!!
Chink… Chink ...Chink
Chaos Chains of a Dark Green fire appeared around the priest at the same time Holy Smite hit the ward and then dragged the priest into the magic circle from which they came out of and then dragged him inside making the priest disappeared. The people sitting around the room only saw a Flash of Radiance coming into the building as a scream was heard by the leaders of the alliance forces and then there was silence.
Chaos Chains was the first spell that Riddick used when he was born and now not only it could constrained the enemy but it could drag it into the magic circle and bring it to him. The problem was that it was like passing a basketball through a 3 inch tube so what came to the Val'gun was a mass with broken bones.
The scene could have been more gory but Riddick took into consideration Eleana that was in the room. He was standing outside before dragging the priest to him and just ate him so there was no blood and nothing was wasted. Inside Riddick, the source flame of chaos fire melted the priest away into Energy increasing his level towards level 51.
The members of the Demon Squad were not normal to begin with, if there was something that really scared pendragon and the other leaders in the past, it was the sheer speed in which their levels increased. Now, they had been training for 7 years in the Realm in the Sky hunting Dragonkin full of massive natural energy.
Balthazar and Louxx had tried to hindered Jazz and Elune's progressed but after seeing that they were being protected by the Pearl of Enlightenment, they decided to help them increase their level so they could win the war against the children of the Dragon Gods. The life of the races of Elysian where finite, even if they live for hundreds of years it was like a mere second for the Gods. In their eyes, it was only a matter of time until they were taken to their Realm where their souls will be tormented.
The Results were clear, Jazz and Elune were one step away from reaching level 50. All they had to do was to fulfill their quest of acquiring a complete avatar set. Once that was done their levels would naturally be increased and they could call upon the divinity of their respective Gods. Rahz and Bato on the other hand were not restricted by anything and they reached level 51 along with their respective Celestial Beast.
"So, the scum of justice is as abrasive as ever. Don't you get tired of losing members" said Rahz
Pendragon was boiling with rage inside but there were many people as powerful as him paying attention to his actions. All the leaders knew that Arthur could have prevented his subordinates from attacking but he just let it slide so now he was between a rock and a hard place. He didn't want to seem weak among his peers but it was obvious that the priest was in the wrong.
"You didn't have to go that far kid, that monster of yours didn't have to eat him"
"Oh, I think he did… we haven't had breakfast yet and Riddick was starving for energy so thank you for giving him such a wonderful snack"
"Ha ha ha… serves you right" said Giant Blade while giving Riddick a thumbs up.
"Don't let that little power of yours go to your head" said Pendragon while drawing the Sword of Justice on his back
Slash… Slash...Slash
Pendragon send multiple holy power blades with the new weapon of the Avatar of Justice set, but even before they could reach Rahz, Apocalypse in the form of a giant 2h axe with the shape of a skull with horns materialized and opened his mouth absorbing all the blades until they were nothing left.
The Realm Weapon!!!
The rest of the people present started to talked in hushed voices all around the room but Rahz didn't care anymore, he had broken the level barrier and now he could use Apocalypse in the released state without his bones being broken by the pressure. Rahz was still not able to use even 30% of its awesome power without repercussions, but it was still enough to defend against the people in the room and more.
"It ate one Sword of Justice and destroyed another one, what would happen to this one?"
Pendragon stood up but a light screen filled with many ethereal characters appeared between the two.
"He is the only one that can defeat Nefarious but if you still want to fight then please do it outside" intervine the Grand Elder.
"I see, so he is the reason why you agreed to our request to invade the lands of the dragonkin"
"He and that disciple of mine over there have been recognized by the realm as champions and given Realm weapons. I have always made it clear that the true enemy of the Temple of the Rising Sun are the gods you worship that are taking the spirit of the realm. I know Odos wants to have that weapon so it is time for you to decide Arthur which side you are on"
"I am an Elysian first and foremost" Said Pendragon while a light shone in his eyes and he sat back down.
"Good!!" said the Grand Elder
"We need to work together if we want to have a chance… so what are the plans" said Degark
"The Lands before the Shattered Scar are in turmoil so the easiest way is to add more oil to the fire in the lower parts and send an Elite force to the sanctums to take out the dragons" Said the Erudite Leader.
"Our scout in the Oceanic Sanctum tried to make contact with the new power and said that there might be a chance of cooperation" said the Elf.
"We should assemble the team immediately" said Degark looking at Rahz
"If it is right now, I'll have to decline"
"This is the fate of the Realm we are talking about kid don't you care about the people in it"
"I need to take Eleana to see her Grandmother and that is non negotiable"
Half of the people from the delegations almost felt backwards but those who knew him from the past just smiled and shook their heads.
"Are you serious?" said the remaining subordinate form Silverwing
"Yes"
"Where is she?"
"Elphenheim"
"Oh!! Then is settled you will go to Elphenheim and meet with the attacking force after, Riddick should also visit his uncle it is crazy over there" said Giant Blade
"We still need a way to get there"
Giant Blade smiled and pointed to the delegation of Elfs, "That is the leader right there".
