Chapter 97: A Great Fight!
Chapter 97: A Great Fight!
Victor did not disappoint me.
Unlike the weaker demons, who only attacked with energy balls that looked powerful but weren't very eye-catching.
When he stretched out his hand, what appeared in his hand was a beautiful red energy sword, something with the appearance of a medieval sword, but made as if it used the material of a lightsaber.
That red sword, combined with his black armor and white hair, almost turned Victor into a typical anime protagonist from my previous life, and that encouraged me to invest even more in my appearance!
When he summoned his sword and red energy began to flow around him, I also caused blue energy to flow around me.
This energy converged on my wings, increasing their size and causing a small new pair of wings to appear below the main pair of wings.
As the wings increased in size, I also caused holographic armor to project from my body, nothing too grandiose, just a bit of ordinary warrior armor, but since the material of this armor was light, it was somewhat transparent and extremely technological, making the appearance of the armor very mystical.
I could try to make extremely complex armor to rival the RPGs of my previous world, but considering that this was my first battle, I don't think I needed anything like that yet.
Just seeing the astonished looks on the soldiers' faces as they stared at me was enough to show that I had made the right choice.
Now, Victor, with his white hair, golden crown, red skin, black armor, and red sword, was pointing his sword at me, with my black hair, glowing blue eyes, a large pair of holographic wings on my back above a small pair of slowly growing wings, and holographic armor over my body.The only thing missing at the moment was a weapon, and there was nothing better to cheer up my followers than something they could use.
So I reached forward and caused a holographic screen to appear in front of me.
This screen, which had already appeared before the eyes of some soldiers or believers in the church, my unique method of accessing the Internet, would soon be available to mortals!
This was my way of telling them: No weapon is better than the Internet in my hands.
And with that, I held out one hand to make the holographic screen float a little farther away from me, and with the other hand I made a motion as if I were pulling something out of the Internet.
After the movement of my hand, a black griffin appeared, bigger and more powerful than the previous griffin, followed by a beautiful golden fox with 9 flaming tails, a green squirrel walking on the wind with a cold attitude and a sharp grass sword in his hand, and finally a beautiful and elegant blue water dragon.
All of the iMonsters were in their final form, the evolution they would receive only after undergoing the power of an embryonic deity, which made their appearance even more imposing.
As soon as the four iMonsters left the holographic screen and floated around me, my holographic armor, which had been a dull blue, began to transform into the creature closest to me.
With the griffin flying above me, my wings became darker and with a darker aura, with the fox on my right, my right side of the armor began to become redder with details of fire, with the dragon on my left, the same thing happened to that side of the armor, but with blue and water details.
Finally, the squirrel turned the bottom of my armor green, and a delicate grass sword appeared at my waist.
If this were an RPG, it would look like I'd taken pieces from several different armor sets and equipped them all, but since I'd designed it this way, each piece went very well with the other, creating a harmony of four colors that made me look very majestic.
The astonishment on the soldiers' faces turned to shock and complete adoration when they saw this.
Many of them quickly summoned their own iMonsters to watch us and try to learn as much as possible to become stronger.
And Victor, his expression turned serious after he saw what I had done.
Even though these iMonsters were powerful, their power level was only at the level of Rank 5 Embryonic Gods, a level he was confident enough to handle with ease.
The problem was that this was limited to a 1v1 battle, now that he would have to deal with 1v4, or maybe 1v5 if I joined him, Victor's confidence began to waver.
Shaking his head, Victor just ignored the concern and started flying towards us, pointing his sword at the squirrel swordsman in front of me.
Being the only iMonster using a real weapon, Victor obviously wanted to try and finish him off as quickly as possible.
The squirrel didn't stand still when he saw this and quickly ran through the wind to start a fight with Victor.
Despite the difference in strength between them, the squirrel wasn't afraid at all.
Clang
The two swords clashed...
Woooosh
With the clash of the two swords, a powerful gust of wind shot out, pushing everything around with overwhelming force.
Even though the two of them were in the air, this gust of wind quickly reached the ground, instantly knocking down thousands of soldiers and demons.
Only the strongest ones managed to stand up with great difficulty.
- Arthur's POV -
Seeing the Demon King fighting the Squirrel iMonster in the sky made my heart race.
I also had an iMonster, and as a warrior, the iMonster I chose was also that little green creature.
When I chose that creature as my iMonster, I thought I was just raising a little squire who could help me with easier tasks, but when I saw how powerful that little guy could become, I began to feel that I could invest more resources in strengthening him...
Just the wind caused by the clash of the two swords was enough to almost throw me to the ground, a powerful warlord being thrown by just one clash of swords... if one of those swords hit me, I would easily be cut in half!
In the blink of an eye, the two swordsmen in the sky switched positions and the swords clashed again, sending another gust of wind our way.
Luckily, Lord Athenos had made a barrier to protect us, so the wind could not harm us.
Despite the high speed of both of them, with my trained eyes, I could still see that the squirrel was at a slight disadvantage, which wasn't good...
With each of their confrontations, the squirrel became more and more tired, while the demon became more and more agitated.
"Griffin, go help him." Lord Athenos said calmly, causing the griffin to nod and quickly fly into battle, joining the squirrel in attacking the demon.
With the griffin's help, the battle between them became more even, but the demon's power was still too strong.
Gradually, he got used to facing them both at the same time, and he managed to regain the advantage.
Lord Athenos then sent the water dragon to help in the battle as well, turning this confrontation into one against three.
This time, the Demon took a while to stabilize in the battle, and only after several minutes did he manage to regain control of the battle.
But without letting him take control for too long, Lord Athenos sent the Fox into the fray, turning this battle into complete chaos as well.
With the gusts of wind, water, fire, and darkness that were sent flying with each clash, we would all have died if it weren't for Lord Athenos' barrier.
This became even clearer when we looked at the terrain outside the barrier, which was completely destroyed.
Even a large part of the capital of Galvaris was completely destroyed, but no one cared.
At that point, all that mattered was how this battle would end.
Looking at Lord Athenos and the calm he maintained, an unprecedented confidence came over me, letting me know that there was no doubt that under the God of the Internet, we would definitely win!
