Strongest Necromancer Of Heaven's Gate

Chapter 1141 The Battle At The Capital City Of Agartha [Part 3]

Nyarlathotep scanned the battlefield and noticed that the Agarthians were still able to defend despite the fact that the Abyssal Army had a higher number of High-Ranking Combatants, like Calamity-Ranked Monsters, in their ranks.

'That Giant Bone Ship is targeting the Calamity-Ranked Monsters before they can clash with the Agarthians,' Nyarlathotep thought. 'But it doesn't matter. I'll just have to do what I always do.'

The Clone of the Outer God then glanced at the Giant Skeleton King protecting the city, then to the Half-Elf who had been about to charge at one of the Abyssal Demigods earlier.

But something else caught Nyarlathotep's gaze, and that was none other than the Golden Anchor in Eiko's hands.

"Oh? Is that one of the Pillars of Eternity that I see?" Nyarlathotep chuckled. "If I only knew, I would have brought my main body here. You see, Daniel is unable to collect them, so that mission now falls onto my shoulders. How unfortunate."

Nyarlathotep's clone might be at the Peak of the Demigod Rank, but it didn't possess all of its original body's abilities.

Eiko raised her Golden Anchor like a sword and sent a faint ripple through her surroundings. The Defenders of the City who were initially holding their heads due to extreme pain stopped screaming as the sensation that tortured them disappeared completely.

Nyarlathotep knew that the Pillars of Eternity controlled the laws of the world. The Clone knew that a direct confrontation against its holder was not a good idea, especially when it currently lacked the abilities to overpower Eiko. 

The Outer God's clone only possessed four skills, but these skills were enough to help the Abyssal Army tilt the tide of battle in their favor.

Since its first attempt failed, the vile abomination shifted its attention towards the Agarthian Army and unleashed an ear-piercing scream, making all of them stagger. 

The Abyssal Creatures who were fighting against the Agarthians stopped attacking the lower-ranking Soldiers and focused their attention on the Saints and Supremes.

They had fought alongside Nyarlathotep long enough to know what was going to happen next.

The Majority of the Soldiers of Agartha roared like wild animals as their eyes glowed red. 

The Outer God had forced them to enter a berserked state, not caring if the ones they attacked were friend or foe. 

The first beings that they attacked where the people nearest them, causing the formation of the steadfast army to collapse.

"No!" King Septimius roared in anger after seeing that his soldiers had started killing each other. 

He wanted to snap them back to their senses, but the Demigods made sure that none of the Supremes of Agartha could support their people.

They increased the intensity of their attacks, forcing the Saints and Supremes to defend themselves with everything they had if they didn't want to end up dying in the exchange.

Nyarlathotep had the power to drive those with weaker willpower insane. But even strong-willed people were not safe from its mind manipulating powers.

As long as they were injured or currently exhausted, the Outer God could easily break past their defenses and instill a single command in their consciousness, and that was to kill the Creature nearest to them, regardless if it was friend or foe!

"Focus on attacking the city!" Nyarlathotep ordered. "Raze this kingdom to the ground!"

The Abyssal Monsters answered the Outer God's call with their bloodthirsty roars, making the entire battlefield shake.

Eligor sneered as he pushed back the Supremes who had ganged up on him. Now that one of Nyarlathotep's clones had arrived, the conquest of Agartha would be faster. 

Suddenly, a large beam of light flew towards Nyarlathotep, forcing the Outer God to dodge it.

The Outer God had been paying close attention to Poseidon since it considered it to be the greatest threat on the battlefield.

Even its original body would not survive a direct hit from the Flying Bone Ship, so it had already readied itself to dodge at the first signs of Poseidon targeting him.

'This is bothersome,' Nyarlathotep thought, so it decided to position itself between the Flying Bone Ship and the City of Agartha.

If the Poseidon were to target it, the Outer God would just dodge, letting the Bone Ship's attack hit the city.

Seeing that the Demigod was using the city as a hostage, Poseidon changed its strategy and unleashed countless laser beams towards the sky.

These beams of light then rained down on Nyarlathotep and the other Demigods, who were attacking Agartha, forcing them to back away.

Using this opportunity, Lux charged towards Nyarlathotep and engaged the Demigod in close combat.

The two battled across the skies, not able to land a hit on the other.

"Are you sure you want to focus on me?" Nyarlathotep asked in a teasing tone. "The other Demigods are targeting the city now, you know?"

Lux didn't answer because he knew that his enemy was telling the truth. However, he simply couldn't do anything about it.

Even if he defended the city, Nyarlathotep would just manipulate the Agarthians who were under its control to do its bidding.

In order to change the flow of battle, he needed to eliminate Nyarlathotep's Clone as soon as possible, or else, the entire army of Agartha would be wiped out.

Just as the Half-Elf expected, his relentless assault had broken the Outer God's concentration, freeing the soldiers of Agartha.

However, the damage had already been done, and they had lost nearly a sixth of their overall forces due to Nyarlathotep's schemes.

As the two were fighting, the Outer God let out several high-pitched screeches in order to force Lux into entering a berserk state.

However, its attempts weren't working because Lux was protected by his Guild Buffs, as well as his strong resistance against Mind Control Abilities.

Suddenly he heard a loud explosion behind him, making his face turn grim.

One of the Demigods had broken the barrier that protected the city of Agartha. 

Although the Skeleton King was fighting with everything it had, the Six Demigods were attacking the city from different directions, making it unable to defend itself completely.

Eiko and her clones were also hard-pressed to defend the city because several Calamity Ranked Monsters had managed to get past the Agarthian Army's first line of defense due to Nyarlathotep's meddling.

These Calamity Ranked Monsters had now joined the Demigods in attacking the city, and the defenders fought desperately to protect the people who were hiding in its underground shelters.
