Chapter 567: Theia’s Might
While the Celestials of both sides were silently glaring at each other, the battle between their soldiers became fiercer.
Broken limbs and blood littered the sands of the Desert Region. The scent of chaos spread throughout the war zone.
The Heaven Sword Army still had the slight upper hand in the confrontation between the two armies. With the great battle skill and fighting prowess of their top experts, the generals of the Hall of Might were slowly losing their ground.
In particular, a woman with blonde hair wearing dark battle armor revealed her splendor on the battlefield. Not one of the experts she faced could even exchange more than fifty moves against her before they end up perishing!
Theia was already a peak stage Heavenly God Realm expert and her strength exploded by leaps and bounds during the last fifty years of training. She didn't even relax for a single day and persevered in her training with a firm heart. Because of her relentless efforts, the increase in her power was beyond her expectations. At this moment, she was confident that no one beneath the Celestial God Realm was her opponent!
The sword in Theia's hand trembled as she congealed a magical spell using her true essence.
Her sword was suddenly covered in golden flames and the opponents around her unconsciously backed away when they sensed the temperature of the golden flame.
"Who is this woman?! Why is she so strong?!"
"We need to hold her down and prevent her from causing more damage to our army!"
Three experts at the peak stage of the Heavenly God Realm surrounded Theia. Their faces filled with wariness as they swept their gazes towards the beautiful woman. They weren't confident in facing her alone, but with three of them holding her back, everything should be fine... or so they thought...
With a cold expression on her face, Theia brandished the sword in her hands, producing golden sword lights that cut through the air!
Suu!
Suu!
Her blonde hair danced recklessly as she swung her sword with quick movements.
The golden flame around her sword also burned intensely, giving off a 'kaka' sound.
"C-Crap! Protect yourselves!" One of the three experts immediately warned his comrades when he saw the fearsome power behind her every strike. The difference in their skills became noticeable from this point onwards.
Clang!
Clang!
Clang!
Their weapons clashed with the sword of Theia, but they abruptly felt their arms going numb.
'What horrible power!' One of them shouted in his heart when he sensed Theia's overwhelming strength.
With a light twist of her wrist, Theia changed the trajectory of her stroke, taking the three opponents by surprise.
Puchi!
One of the experts glanced at her in disbelief when he found himself impaled by her sword. He glanced at the emotionless face of the woman and smiled bitterly.
When Theia pulled out her sword, the man clutched his heart as blood gushed out from the gaping hole. He then lost consciousness and dropped down from the skies.
The remaining two experts fearfully glanced at her when they saw the corpse of their comrade falling helplessly to the ground. However, despite the fear they felt, the two of them didn't retreat or flee. As proud generals of the Hall of Might, that was something that they wouldn't do no matter the circumstances!
"Die, woman!"
One of the two lost himself in his rage and struck Theia with a huge mace.
Swoosh!
The air shook at the power behind the mace, but Theia's expression was still indifferent. She calmly deflected the attack by lifting her sword diagonally to her right.
Shiiiing!
Her sword brushed off the mace and slid towards the man's throat.
Puchi!
The man's eyes widened and the mace in his hand fell from his grip. His vision was covered in golden flames and the last scene he witness was the woman's indifferent gaze as she pulled out her sword from his throat.
Theia turned her gaze towards the remaining expert.
This guy was also a general of the Hall of Might, but under the terrifying woman's gaze, he could feel his hands slightly shaking.
Looking at his expression, the corner of Theia's lips curved upwards to reveal what appeared as a mocking grin. "Burn!"
A violent cluster of golden flame enveloped the body of the general, burning him alive!
AAAAAA!!!
His miserable shriek echoed on the battlefield and everyone unconsciously turn their heads only to see the horrifying sight of an expert being burned into ashes by a fearsome golden flame!
The morale of the Hall of Might's soldiers dropped upon seeing this. The man who was burned into ashes was one of their strongest generals! However, a top expert like him actually died in such a horrific manner!
"Ahhh!!" The eyes of the Heaven Sword Army's soldiers lit up when they witnessed this and they emitted loud battle cries that shook the heavens.
The battle immediately tilted in their favor and the Hall of Might fell into a precarious situation. If the Celestials on their side will not intervene, they would lose this battle!
Hecate's eyes glinted with a dangerous glow as he watched the situation. He couldn't believe that the army that he was so proud of was actually being pushed back by the lowly creatures he disdained.
Hm?
Just as he was about to make a move, he narrowed his eyes as he stared in the northerly direction. He sensed a strong aura coming towards the Desert Region. Furthermore, he also sensed that there were millions of experts following behind this person.
When he got a clearer look at the newcomer, Hecate frowned as he muttered. "Lilith... I can't believe that this woman would actually come to aid my army. Did the Lord send her to support me?" If that was the case, the Lord must've thought that he was bound to lose this battle and thus decided to send Lilith to support his troops.
Thinking about this, Hecate felt a bit indignant. Even if many of his soldiers die in the process, as long as he could kill the opposing Celestials, this war was as good as their win!
