Chapter 1255 Cap 1253: The insect war begins part 7 Pov Hela's:
"Why get involved right after resolving something..."
The one who came out of the Hell Gate I created was talking when he seemed to realize something and turned towards the Annihilation Beetles.
"A true delight."
As he spoke, he stretched his arm, making it grow to an enormous size, descending with a palm of kilometers upon the Annihilation Beetles, but the impact on the ground did not cause any tremors or shock waves to the point that it was strange considering what I saw.
The man's hand began to shrink as it became the size it was before, but I noticed the space trembling around his clenched fist.
"Did you kill them?" (I)
"Why would I waste this kind of delicacy?"
"..." (I)
When he spoke, he was already bringing his hand to his mouth, it was possible to see something coming out between his fingers.
Without me noticing one of the chains floating around the gate moved or at least I think it moved when it simply wrapped around his wrist preventing his hand from getting any closer to his mouth.
"Is this serious? I can't even..."
Before he could speak, he became just a blur that entered the gate of Hell that closed soon after.
"..." (I)
"Do you know him?" (Ragnar)
"He shouldn't be here, that doesn't make sense." (Hellyos)
"Hellyos, who was he?" (I)
"They are called Infernal Deities or also Heralds of Hell, they are essentially slaves with the power of Gods incapable of leaving hell of their own accord." (Hellyos)
"We can see that as he was pulled back after a few seconds." (I)
"You don't understand, I meant they literally can't leave hell without your permission, the mere fact that he left means he was allowed." (Hellyos)
"He seemed confused before, normally named creatures know they are being called." (Ragnar)
"My magic wasn't to summon someone, it was just to create the Hell's Gate." (I)I planned to open the Gate of Hell by letting some creature out to take care of the Annihilation Beetles, I know that the creatures of hell like to consume living beings, especially those with great vitality.
I didn't try to summon anything specific and I hoped with luck to eliminate everyone before the creature was dragged to Hell when the Gate was going to close, in the worst case it would buy us time to get out, I never expected that man to appear.
"I'm not sure of the strength of the Gods, but even they can't summon a Herald of Hell, they are creatures beyond understanding who have completely given themselves over to Hell, they are like parts of Hell itself being eternally trapped as slaves." (Hellyos)
"Those chains from before seemed to stop him from eating what I imagine were the Annihilation Beetles." (I)
"..." (Hellyos)
"In the end, it doesn't matter, I need to recover and we need to be prepared for other surprises." (I)
"You're right, stay close to the Eclipse Titan, it will make you improve faster." (Ragnar)
"I'll take care of the Undead troops." (Hellyos)
"Ragnar, we have to start the next phase of the plan soon." (I)
"We can't, we only have one chance and we haven't even been here for a day." (Ragnar)
"Exactly, we're not even 1 day away from facing 5 Insect Empresses and almost 20 Annihilation Beetles." (I)
"..." (Ragnar)
"Let's just wait a little longer, maybe the next waves of enemies won't be so..." (Ragnar)
Suddenly the earth began to shake and crack, a massive presence weighing us all down and clashing against the Titan's Aura, as we were closer to the Titan we were shielded from most of the pressure while the Titan reacted as if it was being challenged, from its back The Titan's Starfire wings form, spreading over a kilometer as his Aura appears to react to this as if boiling.
"They are acting faster than expected." (I)
---------------
Sakura's POV:
I was alone with Hinata, our group was one of the smallest since our power makes up for the difference in numbers.
The Eclipse Titan is already standing, protecting it was easy since we were in the center of the enemy camp, the appearance of the ritual sacrificed many problematic enemies including some Insect Empresses to form the Eclipse Titan.
"(My Titan form is much better.)" (I)
I was feeling slightly competitive due to the appearance of these Titans, I know they don't have Souls or consciousness, but it was still difficult for me to see such strange forms of beings that go back to me.
"Hinata, stop eating them, at least leave their bodies." (I)
"Hhdgsnnbsj..." (Hinata)"Please, at least take it out of your mouth before you speak or create a mouth to speak for you." (I)
"Hunger..." (Hinata)
"I know, but we still receive power from the master." (I)
"Not the same..." (Hinata)
"We can't do anything, he's busy." (I)
There were more pieces of bodies around us, we didn't need to fight much, but there were still some weak opponents, that thing doesn't seem to be here either, I can't feel it underground.
Hinata who had created another mouth to respond while pushing pieces of bodies larger than her into her mouth, suddenly stopped as space began to ripple in a specific place not far away, it was like the surface of a puddle after throw a stone in the middle.
Soon 2 people came out of this ripple, stopping soon after, this time I was paying attention and I felt a fluctuation of energy collapsing the moment the ripple ended.
Looking at the two people I immediately realized that they were not Insects and were far from being Apostles of Truth, their Auras were not like those bizarre things, and I was also able to feel Holy Power in their Auras.
One of them looked like an old man with gray hair, his race seemed to be Runic because there were healings in his eyes and in the hands that held the staff with a Human bone head.
But the one who caught my attention the most was the one next to her, even though she looked like a man because of her clothes, I realized from the curves of her body and Aura that she was a woman, her face was very masculine, but what drew attention to her was her intention murderous coming from her.
This woman seemed to be around middle age, her race seemed to be a Celestine, but her Aura was more reminiscent of a Demon, the Holy Power she was feeling was mainly coming from her.
"Kill them all, I'll take care of the Titan." (old)
"But I prefer the big one, it looks tastier." (woman?)
"Shut up and move, before..." (old man)
Suddenly, a frightening pressure came out of the ground, involving everything in all directions, this pressure clashed head-on with the Titan's Aura, which raged, opening its Starfire wings while using more power than it had.
"(Still still not as strong as me in Titan state.)" (I)
"Grrrrr!!!" (Hinata)
Suddenly I heard Hinata making strange sounds, she was further away from the Eclipse Titan receiving more impact from the pressure that came from the ground, but her reaction was strange.
Before I could do anything the woman dressing up as a man was already moving, she threw something at me as she advanced towards Hinata with a white sword emitting the power of the light element, a sword she hadn't carried before.
I diverted my attention for seconds holding what was a magic crystal trying to activate, which didn't happen when I absorbed the blood contained within it before throwing it away.
When I looked again Hinata's body was cut into dozens of pieces as large blades of light continued traveling past her destroying everything behind in a trail of destruction.
The woman dressed as a man ran towards me, her body was covered in light until she pulled out another sword making the previous one disappear as if it had never existed, the new sword was covered in red fire that spread from the sword across her body as if it were merging with your body.
But I ignored her running to where the old man was, of course she noticed and tried to reach me first, but she wouldn't arrive in time, I was a little faster than her and realizing this a circle circle Fire appeared around me burning everything inside in a column of fire.
I crossed without problems, no type of normal fire can harm me, that's when I realized I stopped for a few seconds, which was enough for her to catch up to me, the old man from the beginning to the end didn't look in my direction while I felt magic circles forming around him, but realizing it wouldn't be good to drag things out.
I once again ran towards the old man ignoring the woman in my path, I dodge the first attack when suddenly something goes through her head from behind and out of her eye.
I stretched out my hand grabbing the Mage's staff while the woman in question is safe, from eye contact I saw Hinata smiling while devouring the woman's body, but the old man wasn't so simple as he told the woman to come back by slamming him into the ground, This made the body come together once again in our path, Hinata attacked her savagely and I went towards this damn old man running safely around.
