Second World

Master's flight brought him out of the cliffs. Though the command center was still far away, it was in his view already. Another thing was in view. A high demon was blocking his path. It was Everlasting Heavenly Legends' guild hero, Rahab.

After using his Inspect, Master frowned. An underworld demon? How did Everlasting Heavenly Legends get their hands on one? This demonic guild hero could only be gotten from the underworld.

Even though they also had the guild guardian, Flame Daemon, that daemon was not an underworld demon. It was a demon they tamed in this upperworld that was classified as a large-sized monster, not a native race like the underworld demons.

Rahab was already in the process of casting a spell when Master spotted him.

'They knew I am coming?' Master made a realization.

Rahab's spell which consisted of seven runes was completed and a portal gate appeared. Out of this portal gate, a horde of shadow creatures appeared. The spell was similar to the Shadow Army spell, but the shadow creatures summoned here had wings, allowing them to fly. However, the number was much fewer than the shadow army spell. This spell summoned only one hundred shadow creatures.

Master reacted by casting a spell with seven runes as well. His casting was much faster than Rahab's. His spell was completed before the flying shadow creatures were even halfway to him.

A huge elemental storm formed around the flying shadow creatures. It was not a normal Elementalist's elemental storm where the storm only contained one element. Within this storm, three elements were raging. Fire, Ice, and Lightning.

It was the level 60 spell from Master's special class, the Elemental Master. This spell was called Tri-elemental Storm. The AOE of this spell was larger than the Elementalist's elemental storm. With three elemental damage battering the region, the damage output was three times the normal elemental storm. Additionally, with three different elements, it was unlikely that the targets had high resistance to all three elements.

The status effects from the three elements also hit at the same time. The flying shadow creatures continued to get paralyzed, frozen, and burned. They were unable to escape the areas due to these continuous effects.

Master added his normal elemental storm, Fire Storm, on top of the already raging storm. This firestorm increased the damage output even further.

The flying shadow creatures that had just been conjured soon died one by one.

"Hm…?" Master noticed the red dot representing Rahab on his radar had disappeared. Another red dot appeared behind him.

Master swiveled back and had his Magic Shield ready.

Rahab used Teleportation while Master was dealing with the shadow creatures. He appeared above Master and slashed down using his saber.

The saber clanged with the magic shield. Rahab's other hand turned into a magical demon claw. He slashed his claw into Master's open gut. A barrier appeared from Master's fast casting and blocked the slash. The barrier took the damage instead of Master.

Master followed with another spell, Force Impact. It was a telekinetic blast that dealt physical damage and applied strong knockback. Rahab was forced to stumble back from the spell.

A gravity hammer struck the staggered Rahab before a giant earth hand materialized behind and grabbed him. Master's consecutive spells had successfully stopped Rahab's movements. Even without his summons, Master could contest a mythical grade enemy. Most of his summons were still on cooldown or down there fighting on the battlefield.

Rahab was six levels higher, though. The earth hand won't hold him for long. The earth hand trembled as it tried to resist Rahab's powerful strength. Master prepared more offensive spells to wear the demon down.

A torrent of magical spears suddenly came assailing Master. Master quickly changed the spell to Teleportation and sent himself away to safety.

He noticed then some new enemies had come to join the fight.

The magical spears were from Duke Alfredo's spell. Beside him were Laurent and Robinson. Robinson had wings made of light on his back. That was not a wing tool. The wings were from Laurent's spell, Angelic Wings. This spell granted the targeted person the ability to fly.

Robinson rushed forward. His skin was glistening. This was because he used the Diamond Body skill, which granted him not only excellent defenses but also very high resistance.

"Hmph!" Master grunted as he cast Cancel Magic. The two wings behind Robinson vanished. He fell and was removed from the fight even before he could do anything.

Alfredo cast his Phantasm Fist. Master countered with Waves of Hellfire. The flaming waves destroyed the phantom fist and continued to Alfredo. Golden plates covered Alfredo when the waves hit, protecting him. The golden plates were Laurent's spell.

Rahab had freed himself then and came at Master while firing flaming darts. Master cast Twister. The twisting wind repelled the flame darts and assailed Rahab.

Master then noticed from his radar a danger from behind. He quickly cast Wind Jet. His body shot away just as a figure came punching.

When Master turned back, he saw a human with the features of an eagle.

"Tsk, I thought I have gotten you," Robinson said. He was the humanoid eagle. He had the beast form skill that let him assume the eagle form, allowing him to have a battle in the sky.

Master looked around him. The situation was not ideal for him. All his divine skills were still on cooldown from the fight with Nilrem.

"Hmph!" Master harrumphed and an ominous book appeared on his left hand, replacing his magic staff. It was the Necronomicon. Master used another power of the legendary artifact, Unnatural Sacrifice.

This power sacrificed an undead resurrected by the Necronomicon. For each undead sacrificed, the cooldown of one of his spells was reduced by one hour. Master sacrificed a few of the zombie soldiers fighting down there and used this power on his Summon High Demon spell. The first high demon he summoned had already been killed by Nilrem when he left to talk with the Cult of Phobos.

He now re-cast the spell. A mythical-grade high demon appeared beside him.

Unfortunately for him, this artifact's power only worked on spells. Skills or inherent skills were unaffected. Hence, he couldn't use it to reduce the cooldown of his divine skills.

Even so, having his spells refreshed was already troublesome enough for Alfredo and the others.

While the summoned high demon was protecting Master from the opponents' assaults, Master continued using the Necronomicon's power on a few more of his spells. A winged feral tiger, A lesser angel, and a demon soon joined his side.
