"Based on my calculation, the injuries you suffered against the Devouring Magister were so severe that even Immortal Strings wouldn't be able to heal it so fast. So, basically, it leaves only two other options for your complete recuperation. One would be Empyrean-Grade Healing Artifact, but none o the Warlock Dynasties have something like that. The second one would be if someone healed you or speeded up the recuperation. Considering that you are Great Step Holy Spirit Warlock, only a few people could achieve a feat like that."
I noted, as Great Sword Holy grimaced hearing my analysis.
"So who awakened? Which Warlock Emperor is awake? Is it Taboo Emperor? Or Time Emperor?"
As I watched his faction expression change, I noticed that it was Time Emperor. The strongest of the Warlock Emperors was already awake.
"If he was able to heal you, no matter of means used indicates that he has recovered a significant portion of his own power."
Right now, there were only a few Tier 12 and Tier 13 powerhouses awake, as most of them went into a deep slumber to preserve their power and wait for the next Great Conjunctions of Universes. Right now, some of them had already started slowly waking up, which was problematic for the Chthonian Empire.
"It appears we need to speed up our plans."
I said grimly as I charged at the Great Sword Holy, dodging his incoming sword attack and stabbing Great Sword Holy to his back as I infused a lot of Law of Destruction into his wound, as his body was being destroyed from within.
Great Sword Holy used a secret technique as he started burning his Lifeforce and attacked me with all of his power, as overwhelming energy was released from his body, as sword beams went directly at me.
After I activated Decomposition Magic Rule as they intercepted all incoming sword beams and dispersed them with ease. In front of Decomposition Magic Rule, all energy-based attacks were futile unless they were overwhelmingly strong compared to my own power.
"Starfall: End of the World"
Was the name of one of my strongest spells from the Starfall Magic Rule, as tens of the artificially made stars started falling at the Great Sword Holy, who desperately attempted to defend against incoming attacks, but it was futile.
While he managed to defend against more than fifteen starts, the sixteenth one hit the Great Sword Holy at full force as he coughed blood. The twentieth one destroyed more than half of the body of Great Sword Holy.
I walked up to the charred body of the Great Sword Holy as I threw the remaining Necrosword Dagger, which pierced his head, instantly killing him. I stored his corpse in my dimensional storage, as it was precious material to make a new type of mech.
Corpses of these Holy Spirit Warlocks would be the perfect base material to construct a new form of the Swarm Mech, typed as Swarm Titan. Currently, the Chthonian Empire had mechs whose strongest power was only Tier 9, so obtaining Tier 10 Mechs would be very beneficial.
All over the 1st Layer of the Baator, Avernus, the fights were ending, as all Warlocks were killed, there was no mercy and also no reason for keeping them alive. Some of them were rather weak, and we could use countless techniques to obtain information from their brain.
Because all Warlocks were drastically weakened due to the suppression of the Baator and the presence of the Magic Ban Net, the fight was a relatively easy one, as most Warlocks were killed without significant resistance.
"Ancestor Lucifer. I guess you have noticed that too, right?"
Asked Magister Yatogami Kuroh.
"Yes."
I nodded as Magister Yatogami grimaced.
"One of them already awakened... things are becoming too messy..."
Stated Magister Yatogami grimly as I nodded at his words.
"Ancestor Lucifer, would you be able to sell me the corpse of the Great Sword Holy?"
Asked Magister Yatogami as I raised my brow at this.
"You want to extract his sword essence?"
I stated lightly as he nodded.
"Yes, it is time for me to reach Arcane Lord. I have been stagnant for too long, and the time for the final war to come."
Final War.
Final War between Arcanists and Warlocks.
Arcanists and Warlocks were enemies since immemorial, and the final clash would come sooner or later.
Now the time was here.
And as Chthonians were allied to Arcanists and we devils have the same path, our stance was clear.
"We, the Chthonian Empire, will stand with our allies in this fight, and we will fight to the end."
I stated as Magister Yatogami showed a slight smile.
"All I ask is for Magister Yatogami to teach grandson Artorias and my son-in-law the path of the sword."
I said as Magister Yatogami nodded as he accepted.
Arthur and Artorias both followed a very similar path to Magister Yatogami, and guidance from him would be very beneficial for them. Additionally, this was also a show of goodwill to the Dresden Arcanum Empire.
As I stood there, observing the aftermath of cleaning, I suddenly felt an overwhelming presence approaching the Baator.
"So, he made a move personally... probably the death of his favorite retainer enraged him far more than I thought."
