Omega Summoner

1783  The Angelic March

As soon as Adrian brought out the topic of the angels, the dragons that heard it suddenly flared up with great anger. Adrian expected that the dragons are furious, but their fury basically made the weather darken. The sheer anger made the surrounding mana turn dark and heavy which is related to a dragon's nature.

Unlike human mages, dragons can easily manipulate the elements around them or even just the mana around them. They are beings that are tyrannical when it comes to mana control. They do not control mana by assimilating it, but they subjugate it. The change in the weather is a manifestation of the subconscious control of the dragon.

"You ask that young demon which means that your kind must have been hit as well." The male ancient dragon stated in an angry but still polite tone to Adrian as he was not the subject of his anger.

"You are correct that we are angry because the angels finally did something to warrant our full attention." Adrian stated with anger as well which his other guild members did not notice as their guild master was not furious before.

Adrian's guild members and even his best friend did not know that he knew why the world barrier was heavily weakened. Normally, the gods having the ability to interfere will not be normal as a Daemos is always dispatched in a certain area. If the Daemos could easily fix the hole, then the gods would not have the ability to intervene.

What Adrian did not say to the guild yet is the information that three Daemos members died. To make matters worse, Ascalor is now in a severely weakened state. He was able to interact with Adrian, but he learned that Ascalor is now in an injured state.

The Daemos are connected to the space around the main world as they are the ones that makes sure that it does not rupture. Ascalor is the one that heads this endeavor which is why he is the de facto head of the Elders of the Daemos. He has the most important job in the world, but he is also the one that will get affected the most if something happens to the world barrier.

Ascalor carries a significant weight of the balance of the world which is why he got affected the most when a vast part of the world barrier was shattered. The sudden large fracture also caused a surge of power imbalance into Ascalor's core. This should not have happened unless something unimaginable is used to destroy the world barrier.

"Are the Daemos going to war then?" The female ancient dragon asked as she bore witness to the power of destruction that the Daemos can do.

"We are now at war not only with the angels that are under Mikhail but also with the gods that created such a mess." Adrian stated with a smile so ferocious that it even made the ancient dragons blood run cold.

A few days before after the angels released the dragonsbane upon Dragon Rock, all of them marched their army to take care of all the settlements that they marked. Mikhail commanded the angels to march from north to south and subjugate the central continent where most of the worshippers are located. They all got ready and hopped onto their golden chariots, but the monster horde suddenly happened.

A few days before after the angels released the dragonsbane upon Dragon Rock, all of them marched their army to take care of all the settlements that they marked. Mikhail commanded the angels to march from north to south and subjugate the central continent where most of the worshippers are located. They all got ready and hopped onto their golden chariots, but the monster horde suddenly happened.

The subjugation of the kingdoms suddenly became something akin to salvation. The angels fought against the rampaging monster hordes on the kingdoms that they have marked. They destroyed all the monsters in their way which made them appear as the heroes that saved the helpless people from the evil monsters.

The people did not know that it was the angels that are the reason for the vast monster horde that happened. They were the ones that started the real apocalypse by destroying the world barrier. Some 'gods' even offered them salvation as well, but these were the gods of light that aided in the barrier destruction as well.

Not all the gods of light were under the rule of the Goddess of Light Luminaria, but a majority are. Those that are not under her are either sealed or vanished in order to not be targets for her. High Gods cannot descend unto the world, yet which is why the Goddess of Light Luminaria did not descend but her other subordinate gods did.

The gods did not expect that their drastic meddling will result in a worldwide monster horde, but some actually welcomed such a sight. They became saviors to the lost and weak beings that needed the help of a higher power. The gods reveled in the worship that they received as they grow more powerful with the amount of faith given to them.

In just a span of a few days, most of the northern central continent is under the rule of the Gods of Light. All the humans were told to pray towards the Gods of Light with special attention to the Goddess of Light Luminaria. The humans did not blink an eye and made sure that they are praying every time to the Goddess of Light Luminaria.

The sudden appearance of the Gods of Light and the angels were not helpful to the other races though. Elves, orcs, dragonkin, dwarves, and even the gnomes were persecuted from their lands. Some were slaughtered where they stand as the Goddess of Light Luminaria saw them as impure beings.

The purge of other races did not stop from just the earlier ones as even the angels that turned their back on Goddess Luminaria are hunted down as well. All of the other races were forced to escape south where they know that they will be safe. The other races that known of the angels started to escape kingdoms where the majority were humans as well in fear that they might get offered to the coming winged death bringers.

Some of the strong human kingdoms made sure to protect the other races and not surrender to the angels. These kingdoms had gods that opposed the angels descend from time to time in order to defend it. An example would be the kingdom where the gods of war are heavily praised. They actively made sure to kill all the angels that are under the Goddess of Light Luminaria in sight as the gods of war declared them as beings that disrupt the world.

The hierarchy of the world changed in the matter of days as the angels now rule 30% of the central continent. Ruling 30% might be small but the central continent is the biggest continent among the others. That percentage is already the number of beings that live in the northern continent.

The angels wanted to rule the northern continent as well, but the Valkyries and the Vanir gods were protecting it. The angels knew that they cannot fight the war in two fronts which is why they made sure that the northern continent would be handled by their collaborator. The angels used a powerful artifact in order to destroy the world barrier and it is something that was given to them by their collaborators.

The world barrier was destroyed by a replica of Gungnir which is the spear of the God Odin. Even if this was a replica, the power of the weapon plus the massive power that the gods of light imbued on it was enough to pierce a whole through reality. It was not just the Gods of Light that made the hole bigger as the Aesir gods participated as well.

There were also some other gods that helped them in the shadows but those were distorted gods. The angels did not stop their march downwards, but they also made a crucial mistake on what they did. The Daemos did not participate in the defense against the angels because they did not necessarily break the flow of the world. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

What they did wrong is killing the Daemos that was supposed to fix the parts of the world barrier that did not close correctly. The Daemos members that were about to fix the numerous fractures were killed by the angels and the gods. The Daemos would not have declared war against them if they were left alone to do their jobs.

Adrian was actually the one that was called to fix those fractures, but he told the elders that he needed to help his friends first. Adrian might not want to admit it, but he is feeling guilty that he was the cause of the death of his fellow demons. If he was the one that accepted the order, then he could have fixed the fractures even if he gets killed by others. Adrian blames himself because he should have been the one that went. Even if he gets killed, he can always resurrect as he is a player unlike the others that are NPCs. Fortunately, the gods of death hurriedly retrieved the souls of the fallen demons so that the descended gods cannot torture them.
