Chapter 22

Clouds of lightning covered the entire Silvast city or perhaps the entire territory of the Argaint Kingdom. The red lightning kept striking the land like it was endless. On the other hand, Ziel calmly gazed at the thousands of magical beasts and winged men approaching him. A pale gray light suddenly enveloped Ziel's body. The butler uniform he was wearing changed into a long black leather armor with bone-like ornaments from his spine, shoulders, neck, and both arms to his fingertips.

"Divine Dress!" Princess Freya was shocked to the core. She reacted that way because she knew the Divine Dress from an ancient book she had read but had never seen in person. Divine dress is a suit of war armor whose color and size match the wearer. The divine dress had extraordinary durability because it was a God Rank artifact. Every attack under a demigod will be nullified.

"Is it a Divine Dress, Princess?" Aryana asked curiously after hearing Princess Freya's scream.

"Yes, I'm sure it's a Divine Dress. Where did he get that? The bone ornament on his armor was similar to Aishia's bracelet." Princess Freya nodded at Aryana and pointed towards Princess Aishia's wrist.

Princess Aishia's body suddenly trembled. She came back to her senses after hearing Princess Freya's words. Then she looked at Ziel, who was currently dealing with thousands of magical beasts and winged men.

"I'm sorry, Ziel." Princess Aishia kept muttering her apologies with tears in her eyes.

"I'm sure Ziel doesn't blame you, Sis! Sob... Sob..." Princess Elise hugged Princess Aishia to calm her down.

"Yes, Princess. I'm sure Ziel can understand." Siesta agreed with Princess Elise's words, although she had some doubts about it.

Princess Freya just looked at them. Normally, she would help the two of them to calm down Princess Aishia. But this time, she did nothing and smiled a little instead.

"You have a Divine Dress!? Attack him at the same time! Don't give him a chance to attack! Asbil, you go attack him from the front, and I will support you from afar!" Ashil ordered his subordinates. He also started making plans to attack Ziel. Ashil sounded tense and a little scared from his voice.

Ziel stretched out his hand and pointed at the magical beast horde. Red lightning gathered at his fingertips. The Monster horde and the winged man sensed the danger from Ziel's actions and wanted to avoid it. But it was too late.

[Thunder Beam]

The compression of the red lightning at Ziel's fingertips shot out in the form of a laser beam. The hundreds of magical beasts and winged men in the attack trajectory instantly evaporated after the laser was fired.

Princess Freya and the others could only open their mouths wide after seeing the sight. On the other hand, Ashil and Asbil froze as their hundreds of magical beasts vanished instantly.

But Asbil quickly came back to his senses and was already behind Ziel. He thrust the tip of his spear into Ziel's head. But Ziel only tilted his head to dodge the attack.

After that, an arrow shot from Ashil towards Ziel's heart. Unfortunately, Ziel had disappeared from where he was and appeared behind Asbil, who attacked him with a spear. Then Ziel gave him a light punch in the face. Asbil was blown away hundreds of meters until he crashed into a mountain.

Boooooooommmm!

The tremors from the collision were felt throughout the Silvast city.

"Asbil!"

"How dare you do that to Asbil! Die!" Ashil roared at Ziel and shot an arrow at him. Ashil's attack suddenly turned into thousands of golden colored snakes.

[Snake Punishment]

Thousands of snakes attacked Ziel simultaneously. Some of the snakes wrapped around Ziel, and some of them shot poison at him.

"Hahaha... Die by my snakes!" Ashil laughed happily at Ziel's state. But his face suddenly stiffened.

A giant red lightning bolt fell from the sky onto Ziel's place and eradicated all of the snakes at once.

"Damn! He can even do that!? Attack him together!" Ashil shouted in shock. Then he commanded tens of thousands of magical beasts behind him.

"Annoying." Ziel sighed and then disappeared from his place. He suddenly appeared amid the magical beast horde. Ziel opened his palm, and red lightning gathered above it to form a ball of energy. Then Ziel grabbed the energy ball and clenched his fists. Thousands of red lightning spread out in all directions and destroyed hundreds of monsters around him.

[Thunder Firework]

"What the hell are you?!" Ashil screamed in surprise after seeing what Ziel had done. Asbil quickly got up after being blown away towards the mountain from Ziel's punch. He intended to attack Ziel again, but he didn't dare to approach him when he saw thousands of red lightning bolts.

"What kind of battle is that? Isn't this more of a one-sided massacre?" Princess Freya and others were astonished at the way Ziel fought. Meanwhile, Princess Aisha was silent. She didn't focus on the fight but Ziel's face. Siesta and Princess Elise were getting worried seeing Princess Aishia's condition.

"Ashil! We have to attack him with full force at the same time! We still have tens of thousands of magical beasts that can help us!" Asbil proposed his plan to Ashil.

"You're right. and Apart from that, I still have that 'special' arrow given to me. If we can hit him with that arrow, I'm sure his Divine Dress won't be able to withstand it." Ashil agrees with Asbil's plan and prepares to launch his next attack.

"All right. I'll hold back his movement for a while. In that time, you should be able to hit him with that arrow." Asbil disappeared from his place without waiting for Ashil's reply.

Amid the magical beast horde, Ziel didn't know what Ashil and Asbil were planning. He suddenly felt an attack coming from above him. Ziel calmly watched the attack without doing anything.

[Spear Prison]

Dozens of spears shot around Ziel and formed a formation. From each spear came a chain and bound Ziel. The chains locked every part of his body. When Ziel could not move, the space in front of him suddenly distorted, and an arrow appeared right before his eyes. But before hitting his eye, the arrow stopped.

The arrow didn't stop by itself but because Ziel caught it. His hand was scratched from stopping the arrow. Ziel would be seriously injured if the arrow hit him directly. With Ziel's current strength, only a True God could harm him. But the arrow could scratch his palm and prove that it was no ordinary arrow.

"What!? " Ashil and Asbil shouted in shock at the same time. They didn't expect Ziel to easily break free from the Spear Prison and catch the special arrow that the leader had given him.

"Dimensional arrow? You have good stuff. It would be troublesome to fight the two of you and those tens of thousands of beasts alone. So I also had to ask for help." Ziel said softly, and he released his aura and mana simultaneously.

[Seiryu]

[Suzaku]

[Byakko]

[Genbu]

[Manifest!]

Rooooooooooaaaaaaaaarrrrrrr!

Four mythological creatures emerged from the lightning cloud with thunderous roars.
