A Demon's Journey

Lennard was taken aback as those chains of Light Ardor held him in place. He struggled with all his might, but it proved to be insufficient. In fact, the chains of Light Ardor seemed to be getting tighter.

If Lennard knew the concept behind these wires of Light Ardor, he would have restrained his power and suddenly released all of it in one go. This would have immediately burst apart all these chains of Light Ardor constraining him.

Unfortunately, Lennard didn't realize this method as he remained entrapped in those chains.

The two Archangels he had shoved before appeared quickly to pierce his heart. The two were somewhat annoyed as they lost in the battle of strength even while using their Celestial Weapons against a lowly human. The lowly human wasn't even using his weapon, but they still lost!

However, the two Archangels realized that now was not the time to grow angry and make reckless decisions.

At this moment, the three Archangels had forgotten about Bryon's presence. It had completely slipped their mind.

By the time Esther recalled, there was another enemy; Bryon had already moved from his initial spot.

Esther looked around and attempted to find him, but her mission was a flop. She wondered whether he had fled after realizing the vast differences in their abilities for a brief while.

Her question was soon answered as Esther felt something pierce her back.

Esther's concentration lapsed for a second before she tightly gripped her Judgement Trident. The Light Ardor of her Judgement Trident freed Lennard and condensed into a dense wave that attacked Bryon's body.

However, after Lennard was free, Bryon stopped his attack and immediately jumped away. He dodged the dense wave of Light Ardor.

The wave continued to follow him as he flew in the sky. It didn't seem as though Bryon could fool it.

Bryon pulled out a dark dagger that shot off an endless amount of shadow energy. Bryon sliced apart that wave of Light Ardor by that dagger and was temporarily safe.

Esther had used the remaining power of her Judgement Trident to heal her body.

Lennard was startled to see his father utilize his Deadly Phantom Shadow Dagger. Bryon obtained this dagger after killing a powerful Demon Emperor.

This dagger could conceal the user's presence from the world and allow its user to utilize the Shadow Attribute.

Lennard didn't remain stationary as he saw his father fighting so seriously. He congealed a massive quantity of Ardor before releasing a ball of pure Earth Ardor in the air.

This ball of Earth Ardor flew high in the sky that only a small dot about be seen. This dot suddenly split into multiple parts, and Lennard whispered, "Meteor Shower!"

Hundreds of meteors were charging in their direction with blinding speed! These meteors were massive chunks of land in a round structure heading straight towards them. They covered a massive area which made it impossible to dodge this attack.

All these meteors suddenly caught fire as they approached them at blinding speed.

Even Lennard and Bryon would be buried underneath these meteors if this continued. However, Lennard raised his hand at an opportune moment and shouted, "Father, grab my hand!"

Bryon appeared a second later and grabbed hold of Lennard's hand. Lennard held Bryon's hands tightly before speaking, "Earth Phasing Technique!"

This technique allowed Lennard to phase through Earth Ardor based attacks with ease. In fact, it could be considered a hack technique.

However, the concept of this technique slightly differed from its name. This technique didn't allow Lennard to fuse his body with the earth. That was a skill exclusive to the Royal Bloodline of Elves.

The Earth Phasing Technique repels any Earth Ardor away from Lennard's body. In this case, a hole suddenly opened in the meteor that was falling over Lennard. This ensured Lennard and Bryon's survival.

Meanwhile, the Archangels were absolutely shocked to see Lennard use this kind of technique. It had to be known that even though they had left the city, they were still close to it.

Lennard's technique easily enveloped the entire city in its range! These meteors would destroy the entire Royal City!

The Royal Palace was a bit farther away, so it would be safe apart from feeling some earthquakes.

Esther raised her Judgement Trident and shouted out, "Radiant Net!"

A massive web of pure Light Energy covered the entire area. It blocked the meteors from getting any closer to the ground.

However, blocking such a massive attack did take its toll on Esther as she experienced unreal pressure. She had to endure that pressure until the final meteor was trapped in this Radiant Net!

Lennard seemed to have anticipated Esther's actions as he smirked viciously. He whispered, "Eras have passed, but the weakness of you Archangels remains the same."

Lennard and Bryon moved at this moment as they fought against the other two Archangels.

The two Archangels were being completely suppressed in their battle against the father-son duo.

Lennard possessed a rather strong body and could easily break their attacks and block their swords with his bare body. Meanwhile, they couldn't detect Bryon's presence, and he would wait for an opportunity and launch a fatal attack.

While Esther's hands were tied, her comrades were repeatedly pushed around by this father-son duo, and it seemed as though they would soon die!

Esther wanted to recall this Radiant Net and help her comrades. She didn't want to sacrifice her comrades to protect measly human lives.

However, she had her own scheme for saving the lives of these humans.

Soon enough, Esther saw the results of her actions. She was relieved and thought 'I didn't choose wrongly.'

A massive amount of Faith Energy flowed through Esther's body as the Judgement Trident began to glow with a mysterious red light.

This faith energy was from the people who were praying to God to save them from this tragedy. They were absolutely sincere as this was a matter of life and death. These sincere prayers were converted into a massive amount of faith energy and absorbed by Esther because she held the Judgement Trident in her hand right now.

"Good. I can defeat them with this!" Esther whispered confidently. She lifted the Radiant Net slowly, and after a specific period, she made the entire thing explode!

The explosion was so great that it completely shook Lennard and Bryon as they fought against the two Archangels.

The Archangels were very thankful for this explosion as it allowed them to take deep breaths. The two had stopped trying to attack these monsters in human form and focused on dodging or fleeing.

Unconsciously, Lennard and Bryon turned towards Esther and saw her heading toward them with a furious look on her face.

"Radiant Net!" Esther used this technique again, but its purpose was completely different this time.

The purpose of this Radiant Net was to cover a large area and entrap Lennard and Bryon in it. While Lennard and Bryon were thinking of fleeing in the opposite direction, they were struck by a powerful blow and tossed straight towards the Radiant Net.

It didn't take them more than a minute for the two to be tied in the Radiant Net. Lennard and Bryon struggled with all their might, but the Radiant Net was very powerful and prevented them from moving even slightly. Since their movements were inhibited, it seemed impossible to get out of this restraint.

"Attack them!" Esther remained on her spot as she had to ensure the two couldn't get out of these restraints!

The other two Archangels took deep breaths and nodded in each other's direction. They flew straight towards Lennard and Bryon with extraordinary speed.
