Chapter 227: Demons and Gods

3rd person view

"Aenon, you handle that dragon over there and I'll handle that slime" Albert ordered as Aenon and Perun take their fight somewhere else

"Good good, now entertain me" Rex laughed as he then turned into his slime form and enlarging himself.

Albert is cautious, but just to test out whether what Rex saying is true. He shot a beam of light at Rex's body, the light got refracted and shoot out of his body at another position.

"Perseus was the one who put you up to this, wasn't he?" Albert snarled

"Yes, he maybe ranked lower than me, but even I'm scared to fight against him, he can change reality with just a snap of his finger, that's very scary." Rex replied "Even I wouldn't want to experiment that. And healing is useless, once you get consumed by my acidic body, you'll just be racing against time"

Albert had no choice but to activate the bracelet as he knows his sword will be useless. The bracelet glowed and activated. A flashback then appeared in his mind as he remembered his father's word.

"We are the descendants of Cadel, a mortal who is feared as a god of war." his dad said "Born during Artian Magus' era, but our power will only be activated once we wear his bracelet which I have a feeling is made from the same material as your sword"

They then walked down a flight of stairs and see the bracelet he's wearing now with inscriptions on the bottom.

'To my kin who can wield it: The bracelet will not be able to change, since I made it so that my descendants can use it no matter what they are as long as they share my blood'

-You can do that?- Albert asked

-Well, as long as it was his desire when he wield it- Helena answered -So I think that you're also going to be wielding his power-

Albert then wore it and hear a voice that he assumes to be Cadel's.

"I never won my wars alone. I had comrades, think of your friendship with the people you care about, the stronger your feelings, the stronger you will become" the voice informed him.

| So the power of camaraderie aka friendship? That's so cliché!|

Author, just know that you wrote this.

And back to present time, the bracelet then expanded and turned into a piece of golden armor. Albert's presence changed as his eyes then glowed gold.

"I'll defeat you here and go kill the elf that killed Lucas!" Albert declared

"Now it's going to be a good fight, you're going to fight me and spare me?" Rex laughed "Entertain me!"

1st person view

In front of us, 50 thousand of the sacrifices are gathered onto a large platform with a magic circle on it. And the 666 criminals with irredeemable past are chained alongside the edges of the circle.

Zach is wearing all the 7 necklaces at once while holding a book that contain the forbidden chants.

"Oh the fight started" Urie chuckled as he sensed a large amount of mana being used "Will Rex win?"

"Nope, Albert's bracelet probably has the power of friendship or some bullshit like that. He'll win but barely and he'll also let Rex live. Perun will definitely beat Aenon and then finish off the tired Albert, Perun will also not be able to fight afterwards since Albert will tire him out"

"What if Albert beat them both and come here?"

"Then the gods would aim for the weakest link amongst the 3 of us, which should easily be Albert"

"If that slime spend less time in his lab and more out here, he would have been a much better and scarier fighter" Gia grumbled

"Well I'll get chanting, and we'll go with our plans" Zach ordered "The gods will be here any minute now"

Zach started the chant. The pendants shook around his neck and broke into shards and flew. It circled around the magic circle as the sacrifices started to melt into a pool of black puddle. The amount of mana that it's giving off is insane.

"What's taking the gods so long?" Jasper asked as he turned into his werewolf form "I'm ready"

"You just had to jinx it now"

And he did jinxed it as a large lightning bolt struck the ground right behind us, and 4 people emerged wit Colden grinning from ear to ear standing in front.

< Author? Are you our unexpected help? >

| No |

< Can the 4th wall protect me? >

| I'm too lazy to repair it, so that's also a no, blame yourself for breaking it in the first place |

< Damn >

"Nice to see you again" Colden greeted "I've also remember you 2 from before, one with the spatial magic and the other one with spirit magic"

"It's an honor to be remembered by a god" Draven replied "But unfortunately, my team is responsible for finishing the demon lord over there as quickly as possible while these guys hold you 4 off"

"Where's the other annoying dragon?" he turned to Damon

"Well you'll have to substitute that with Erix, he's much stronger" Damon snorted

"And more annoying" Stella added

"We got 2 of em here, and the golden boy far in the distance" Colden informed the 3 gods behind him "I'll take the white hair boy here, you'll take the other 2"

"We don't take orders from failures like you Colden" A grey-haired god replied "I'll take the white hair boy, you take his dragon and the rest. I'm Meran, a god of lightning"

"Hey, I-" Colden tried to protest but the 3 didn't care

"Just don't fail against Colden" Meran warned

-Elektra was hotter-

-That's what on your mind?!- Dabria retorted -You have a, I mean 2 girlfriends!-

"Great, they're forgetting about the rest of us already" Erix laughed

"Yeah, I feel insulted" Maska huffed as he took out his axe

Everyone then started to turn into our demon form and got ready to face off against them.

"Sorry father, he left" Castor apologized "And guards tried to stop him, but him and his dragons overpowered all of them and knocked them out"

"Damn it, he might die. He's the only one with potential to rise against the seekers" Cyrus cursed

"Why can't we just attack them after their ritual?" Castor asked "They'll be weakened then"

"Most people are scared, Castor. Our raid was a major lost and people aren't willing to go through that again"
