Chapter 194

'What is that?'John looked up through the cover of his fingers.

Zack came crashing through the barrier with tremendous speed, but they were all warned of his potential interference. They swiftly took action as the demons all launched a collective blast of flames engulfing the sky. Zack shielded himself in his wings spiraling forward.

Everyone in the cages was watching the golden light force its way through the flames. Wesley was concerned about seeing the blinding light preparing to strike the ground. Only one type of power would typically glow in that fashion, and it was nuclear. The color of it puzzled him, but the fear was still present.

As it hit the ground releasing a shockwave Wesley thought it was over, but at the epicenter was winged man. Wesley looked over at Antonio's group and saw them all filled with hope. After being an atheist for so long he wanted to deny it was an angel, but staring at Zack he felt at ease. There was definitely something divine about the presence, and Wesley couldn't deny that.

When Zack appeared before the demons as his wings unfurled slicing up those surrounding him. He looked up to see two demons gathering a blast of chaos near the cages. Not giving them a chance to form the attack Zack dashed forward. The speed was too fast for them to react, and Zack seized the two demons by the face slamming them into the earth. Their eyes erupted with a golden light blinding the nearby demons as their bodies were rendered to salt.

As the slavers closed in to strike Zack he called his spear slamming it into the earth as cracks trailed towards the cages. Once it reached Taylor's group they were covered in a barrier, and Zack reappeared next to John grabbing him by the shoulder.

Zack could feel the overwhelming pain surging through John, and felt his body ready to burst. All the mana building within was dissipated and with it the pain. Kishi flew forward intending to strike them both as he struck the air.

"Where did they go?" Kishi asked glancing around eagerly.

"Who cares just break that fucking barrier now!" Dagon ordered.

Zack reappeared on the outside of the slaver camp. The slavers all turned their focus to dazzling light at a distance and knew it was their target. Slavers took formations around the cages as the demons sped forward to engage.

"You're an angel aren't you?" John asked while feeling his fatigue swept away.

Zack raised his hand retrieving a core from his ring as stones began flying up from the ground. They spun around in the air as glyphs rapidly appeared upon them while shooting into the earth.

"We can talk about that later, but for now get ready," Zack replied as the core flew from his hand.

Zack dashed forward as the core launched into the earth activating the array. Twenty demons were flying towards Zack wielding weapons forged in hell. Malachi went to strenuous efforts to get them well equipped to battle their nuisance. If they could land a solid blow on Zack it could be fatal, and the others were tasked with giving them that opportunity.

'You fucked up by coming here.'Dagon smirked.

Zack's spear began to glow gold as a bright light blinded the demons, and one of the orbs shot into the dirt. He was speeding past the demons towards camp at tremendous speeds. When the demons had their sight regained, and were ready to give chase they saw three massive golems surrounding them.

"Go around!" Dagon ordered.

Dagon's men tried to avoid the golems, but their speed was far greater than they imagined. For something so big to have that speed caught them all off guard. A few demons were seized in their grips while they stomped their feet shaking the earth. The trembles caused massive slabs of stone to keep them locked in and obscure their view of the battle. They quickly realized pushing past the golems would prove lethal, and had to engage them first.

'That imbecile better do his damn job.' Dagon scoffed as he broke his soldiers free from the golem.

Zack landed at his barrier as a powerful shockwave sent the slavers flying back as he raised his hand to gather holy energy. Before they could recover Zack incinerated a group of slavers as Kishi dashed in striking Zack. Zack skid back as his wings halted him in place. He wiped the blood from his chin seeing the culprit before him.

'He's no slouch, and he's already transformed.' Zack smirked spitting blood onto the floor.

Kishi charged forward as Zack hurled his spear for his chest. Kishi smirked meeting it head-on striking it with both hands deflecting the spear away. The gauntlets began humming immensely after being struck, and Kishi's hands were trembling from the force generated.

'My hands won't quit.' Kishi looked down in irritation.

Zack dashed forward landing a powerful blow into Kishi's chest sending him flying back. Kishi coughed blood and felt a searing pain in his chest, but this only excited him. Kishi charged forward to throw a right hook, but Zack stepped forward rapidly delivering a head kick at the moment of impact.

With all the force being redirected to Kishi's head he started to collapse but recovered as he released a lethal uppercut. Zack narrowly dodged as a powerful force of wind erupted into the sky. Zack took a stance placing his hand before Kishi's chest as he pivoted forward striking him in the chest. A loud bang echoed through the camp as Kishi was sent flying back.

'What kind of punch was that?' Kishi looked down at the throbbing pain radiating from his chest.

Before Kishi could recover Zack was behind him delivering a kick to the ribs launching him back the other way. His hands were clenched together as they were emitting a golden glow as he faded away.

"Given the circumstances you understand," Zack declared as he appeared behind Kishi.

Zack struck the back of Kishi's neck sending him flying into the ground. Kishi was twitching and tried to move his body, but it didn't budge. To handle it in such a manner wasn't something Zack wished to do, but as he was fighting the surrounding mages gathered enough mana to launch an attack.

The first blast to roar towards Zack was a powerful gust of winds that stabbed like a thousand blades. His six wings fluttered rapidly as the winds were forced to a halt, and the wounds on his face slowly healed. Zack dashed forward to interrupt the mages as warriors charged from each side. In a flash of light, the warriors went flying.

The ground began to rumble as two slabs of earth erupted next to Zack attempting to squash him but his hands halted the walls as large cracks spread across them. They continued to crush him, and on each side of Zack appeared a group of mages preparing to launch blasts of lightning from point-blank range.

Zack smirked disappearing as the two blasts connected, and when the currents met it released a pulse paralyzing both groups as the walls slammed shut. The sudden slam of the walls with the explosion sent debris hurling at the mages as electric shrapnel. Zack appeared in the air preparing to strike the mages down, but the demons surrounded him.

"We were warned about you, and we've come prepared," Dagon smirked.

"And so have we."

A black whip wrapped around Dagon's wrist as Lilith appeared behind him. With a flick of her wrist, Dagon was covered in black flames. Lilith uncurled her whip rapidly lashing him across the chest as he cried out in pain.

Dagon was already being overwhelmed by the flames, and all the demons rapidly distanced themselves from him. He flew around panicking in his attempts to extinguish the flames but fell to the ground writhing in pain as his body was rendered to a pile of ashes.

Flames from purgatory can only be manipulated by a few individuals in the underworld, and if you weren't among them you were at the flame's mercy. Knowing only one person who could use these flames that would also interfere in their actions they quickly deduced her identity.

Seeing Lilith alone on the battlefield with a devious smirk irked them all. They wanted nothing more than to kill Ozen and all his kin. Wiping that smug look off her face was their first objective.

"Get that bitch!"

Zack appeared behind the demon who insulted his woman impaling him with his spear smiting him in an instant. They turned to strike Zack, and Lilith as a flash of lightning roared towards them. Towering over the demons was a large dragon with lightning crackling along his body as he clenched his fist.

"You are all enemies of the Long clan, and I'm here to deliver the execution." Lei declared as he struck the nearest demon.

The force of the blow left a large hole through the demon's chest, and all the ones behind him were sent flying back from a shockwave. With the mighty blow, the sound of thunder echoed through the battlefield as the Lei clenched his fist to strike again.
