  He once more thanked the spectacular feature of being able to simply move his Skill Points around as he wished, as the skill points from the [Abhorred Lich Emperor] skill tree were now all free points he could use on the [Lesser Cthulhu] skill tree abilities.

  This meant...that he could add points until he maxed all of the skills without a second of waiting! It wasn't something that he thought he would be able to do before, and he had already made plans to return to the First Hell whenever this Infernal Hunt ended to farm day and night for more skill points. Currently though, this feature came in as the best possible save.

  It was a truly exhilarating feeling as he watched the numbers for the four abilities go from 0/5 to 5/5 in the blink of an eye. He felt even power bubbling in his body as one of the skills was Passive, where it would always provide the boosts that it showed. Just from the passive boosts of [Child of Space] alone, he felt as if he could tear through the space around him with ease as his body felt weightless.

  Unknowingly, his body began to smoothly advance faster and faster, the Vampyre Prince that was easily keeping up with Noah's still Saint Rank attributes glancing towards his disappearing figure in shock as it suddenly left behind a sonic boom and began disappearing from his sight. The genuine Void Rank Vampyre Prince looked at this sight with his sharpened jaws falling down as this was speed that was even faster than his!

  Noah came to his senses a second later as his body came to a halt, and he waited a few seconds before Prince Cassius caught up and looked him up and down like a freak. Noah couldn't help but let a burst of joyful laughter out as they resumed their path towards the battle taking place far ahead, the clashes of power which they could already feel from this wide distance.

  He looked at the newly updated and fully maxed abilities of the [Lesser Cthulhu] skill tree as he enjoyed the feeling of being as light as a feather as he streaked across the blazing skies of the First Realm of Hell.

  Morph(Active) (5/5) :: As a beast of mystical origins, you can briefly call upon your bloodline as you take the form of a terrible entity. While this form is active, +30% Complete Damage Absorption, +300% Physical Damage, +300% Elemental Damage, +300% Elemental Resistance, +300% Attack, Casting, and Movement Speed

  Child of Space(Passive) (5/5) :: You feel the love from the space surrounding you. No energy is required to withstand the void of space. All space-related abilities are boosted by 300%.

  Portals of Terror(Active)(5/5):: Portals leading to the most destabilized and destructive regions of the universe are summoned as they release their catastrophic energies at their summoned location. Maximum number of portals: 8

  Sever(Active)(5/5) :: An ability geared towards an element that very few beings are able to tap into. Allows the user to access the elusive Aether Element as a ray of Aether that severs all it comes into contact with, even space itself, is cast. Can only be active for 6 seconds.

  Descriptions that made his heart feel crazy levels of power appeared before his eyes, the thing taking the most attention being the 30% Complete Damage absorption that he would have whenever he took the form of the [Lesser Cthulhu]. This wasn't a normal modifier, and it actually meant that he would only ever take 70% damage from whatever was attacking him for as long as he kept that one ability active.

  It was a truly eye-opening ability that he wanted to observe the effects of as soon as he could, but his attention was pulled away as he sensed the powers of multiple figures converging at the same location they were going to.

  [Child of Space] had expanded his senses to wild degrees, as it felt like he had eyes that could hone into every nook and cranny of space for tens of miles around him. His senses brought into focus the gloriously shining form of Athena facing off against a terrible Aberration with abhorring levels of strength.

  Coming into this scene at the same time as them were multiple Elders and Sect Masters from neighboring powers that were now drenched in the golden light of Celestials.

  The Incarnations that the Celestial Grandmaster had sent forth had arrived to lend their aid to the prized Celestial Disciple.

  Chapter 277 - A Grand Battle I

  The newly arriving Incarnations looked forth at the sight of Athena valiantly holding off against the Infernal Aberration as they quickly moved to reinforce her.

  The battlefield they were delving into was a terrifying one, with constantly rotating hell storms that would raze anyone that was not paying attention to the ground.

  OOOH!

  Vigorous yells resounded as the powerful Elders and Leaders of Various powers arrived on the battlefield and reinforced the one being fighting against a tyrannical beast. Their eyes shook at the level of power that this simple girl let out, being even higher than the four golden Empyrean Guards she was smoothly alternating with as she defended and let out attacks methodically.

  A few Elders were lost in the rhythm of battle when they came close, being astonished at the movements of Athena and the summons that she controlled as she weaved across the dangerous tornadoes of hellfire, defended against a constantly appearing and disappearing Infernal, as well as throw out rays of golden light from the huge hammers she wielded to land perfect strikes on the body of said infernal.

  It felt like a beautiful dance that they could get lost in watching!

  They quickly shook themselves out of their reverie as they moved to join the battle, one particular Elder turning his attention to another direction as he found two figures arriving at the same time as them, and he knew one of them very closely.

  "Crixus!"

  Elder Spacewarp looked at the Wastrel of the Profound Astral Sect in shock as he thought this son of Elder Baldwin would be the last person to rush towards danger and lend aid to fellow disciples.

  This was especially so because the other top disciple of the Profound Astral Sect, William, had long since used his life-saving tool to return to the ship.

  Elder Spacewarp looked at Crixus and the powerful being he recognized to be the Prince of the powerful Pureblood Vampyres of the Underworld as he sent a message that only Crixus could hear.

  "Leave this place quickly boy! We have this handled, but I won't be able to protect you if this beast turns its attention on you!"

  ---

  Noah had arrived at the spectacular battlefield where one particularly powerful enemy of his was valiantly facing off against a powerful Infernal that let out levels of power which had already passed what could be considered the Void Rank.

  He was shocked at the beautiful dance that seemed to be occurring as Athena controlled the pace of the battle against this maddened Infernal with ease, weaving in and out of the powerful hellish flames and deadly attacks as she defended and counterattacked with no issues.

  Her body let out a holy fate's aura that he wasn't fully confident in being able to pierce right now, the only possibility of him injuring her being if he used the abilities of the [Lesser Cthulhu] and activated its spectacular skills.

  Now, with the addition of multiple Elders and Leaders from various powers that were reinforced with the strength of an observing Celestial, he could not make a single move against Athena!

  His mind rapidly moved as it seemed he would have to go along the path he had talked about with Prince Cassius earlier- and that was to act as helpful disciples as they continued to monitor the situation.

  If this immensely powerful Infernal in front of them happened to be even more terrifying than they imagined, maybe there would still be a possibility. But from watching how the battle seemed to be in a stalemate with the exquisite control that the War Princess held over the battlefield, the joining multiple other Void Rank beings reinforced by a Celestial's power only meant that things had turned bad for this Infernal.

  Putting on the expression of a righteous disciple, Noah sent back a message to the concerned Elder Spacewarp as he and Prince Cassius moved closer to the battlefield.

  "I'll be fine, Elder! I will stay in the periphery and try to help, and will use my medallion at the insta
nt sign of danger!"

  His gaze looked firm and resolute as Elder Spacewarp turned to look at his expression with shaking eyes.

  'Had the wastrel disciple of his sect actually grown this much?'

  The Elder was occupied with the wrong thoughts as Noah observed the tides of the shifting battle, looking for any changes that would allow him to obtain the most rewards out of this situation.

  The one reward he wanted the most was an important one- the death of this extremely powerful woman that let out levels of power that made him frown even now!

  But this seemed like an impossibility at this point in time, and he might have to settle for the reward of increasing his status within the Profound Astral Sect as he achieves the goal of obtaining their Absolute Space Technique, and the possibility of even gaining the trust of the Celestial that was observing things from the outside of the First Realm of Hell, as well as the powerful disciple in question herself, Athena.

  Whatever path opened itself up in front of Noah, he would take it!

  The Void Rank Prince Cassius was a bonafide expert himself, moving to act naturally as the Prince of the Pureblood Vampyres and led aid to their allies. Multiple drops of blood that acted as homing missiles rushed towards the Infernal as a rain of blood exploded on the battlefield.

  BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

  This brought a brief respite to the constantly maneuvering Athena as she glanced at the beings that came to reinforce her, nodding her head as she observed the golden celestial aura covering them with a happy smile. One of the Elders came close to her and proclaimed.

  "We came under the guidance of the Grandmaster to aid you. He mentioned for us to...follow your lead."

  The leader of a powerful organization scratched their heads warily as they revealed the intentions of the observing Celestial Grandmaster outside of the First Hell.

  A shining light erupted from Athena's eyes as she heard this, her smile becoming even more brilliant as she nodded.

  "Good. Listen to my commands, and we shall destroy this Aberration before it can grow any further!"

  She was smiling widely because she found out that even at this juncture, the Grandmaster was still using it as a chance to train her, this time letting her work with multiple Void Realm beings as she had the task to eliminate this Infernal in front of them.

  Her brilliant eyes gazed upon the Aberration as she began letting out multiple commands to the newly arrived Elders and Sect Leaders, her hands coming together in front of her chest as she chanted a few words.

  "Empyrean Armament!"

  OOONG

  Brilliant golden essence erupted out as the four [Empyrean Guards] surrounding her became streaks of light that shot towards her body, a holy aura that many were seeing for the first time descending around them as they felt oppression deep to their very cores.

  Noah was observing this development closely as his gaze became more and more somber while he continued to gain just a bit more understanding of this powerful enemy of his.

  Chapter 278 - A Grand Battle II

  [Empyrean Armament!]

  The words were the prelude to a confounding brilliance that made even the hellish Infernal pause briefly, a blooming golden flower becoming apparent in the eyes of all those watching the battlefield.

  Four powerful [Empyrean Guards] became streaks of light as they entered into Athena's body, making her seem like a glowing mass of light as the first thing that became visible was exquisitely shining white wings that let out oppressive vibrations in the blazing skies of the First Hell.

  The light gradually died down as it revealed the being connected to the gloriously glowing wings. The figure of Athena was fully covered from head to toe with a golden armor that screamed of power!

  Two spiked swords trembling with a white destructive light that was just asking to be released to her enemies were on her hands, numerous golden runic markings inlaying her golden armor that went on to even cover her head completely. Only two brilliantly glowing eyes could be seen between the gaps as the sword in her right hand pointed towards the fiery skies, and the sword in her left hand pointed towards the Infernal Aberration that was looking at her with extreme passion.

  This passion in the Infernal's eyes continued to grow as it greedily wanted to devour this being glowing all in gold, as her essence smelled the sweetest out of everyone here, and would improve his own strength the most when he devoured her.

  OOOH!

  The Infernal let out a battle cry as the fiery skies became even redder, storms of hellish flames continuing to form as they obscured everything, its gaze voraciously going towards the woman pointing a golden sword towards it and ignoring all the attacks from the surrounding Void Realm beings.

  Athena held her gaze steady, one sword pointing towards the sky and one pointing towards the rushing Aberration as her essence rumbled, and she cast yet another skill.

  "[Smite of Liberation]."

  OOOONG!

  Wild levels of mana leaked out from the direction where she pointed her golden sword, the tip of an even larger outline of an immensely large corporeal blade began to form.

  The reddish skies of the First Hell began gaining a hue of gold as with every passing millisecond, the shape of this stupendously powerful blade become larger and larger as it pierced through the fiery sky and descended towards the Aberration at crazy speeds!

  The Infernal Aberration felt this tremendously powerful blade descending down as its gaze hardened, looking up with slight care as its body streaked across space and moved to a different location.

  What happened next left those in the battlefield with slacked jaws as the insanely large corporeal golden blade descending from the skies changed directions and streaked across the skies towards the Infernal even faster than before, its might burning with righteous golden light as it smashed onto the Aberration.

  BOOM!

  SMASH!

  A flash of light. A brilliance of unknown proportions.

  "GAAH!"

  The Infernal let out a scream of pain for the first time ever as a large rupture spread out from its chest all the way to its head. Eerie muscles wriggled to reform as a holy power prevented them from coming together, its gaze turning bloody as it glanced towards the woman responsible who was already giving more commands towards the mute Void Realm beings in the surroundings.

  "Move! You, flank its left. You…"

  Various commands were quickly released as the Void Realm beings moved according to Athena's words and let out attacks from different positions that made it extremely difficult for the injured Infernal to defend.

  "WAAAH!"

  The Aberration let out a guttural howl as the blue runic markings on its horns glowed brighter, pillars of defensive hell flames forming all around him as it moved to defend and attack the swarming enemies around it.

  Noah observed this continuing battle with stupefaction as the image of the golden armored woman carrying deadly swords and gloriously shining white wings continued to release just crazy levels of attacks and skills while commanding an aura of a veteran of a battlefield as she moved herself and the Void Realm beings like pieces on a chessboard.

  The being that was even closer to the battle, Prince Cassius, was glancing at the nearby Athena with blood-red eyes as he controlled his hunger and followed her directions to let out even more attacks towards a certain direction.

  The Infernal Aberration began to feel suffocated as it realized every direction it tried to move, an attack would already be there waiting to meet it, causing it to be contained in one area as it couldn't move freely!

  It felt cornered as every move it tried to make, there would always be someone to counter it.

  The one responsible for this was looking through the slits of her golden armor as she continued to let out powerful attacks while reading the flow of the battle.

  Unbeknownst to all the beings here, she could observe invisible white lines coming off from the body of the Infernal, and these lines told her exactly
what move the Infernal would be making even before it made the move!

  This was a skill that was unique to her, one that allowed her to lead and direct the flow of battle as if it was a grand symphony.

  This was why she had gained the title of the War Princess, and this was just another one of the features that made her unique!

  One of her hands pointed to the fiery skies of hell once more as another one aimed the sword it was holding on to towards the Infernal Aberration that continued to be increasingly cornered.

  OONG!

  Yet another corporeal golden sword of momentous size began descending from the skies as one could hear the screams of the surrounded Infernal that continued to receive the full attacks of multiple Void Realm beings.

  This Aberration would have no chance to become a General or a Scion of an Infernal Lord in the future, much less hold the title of an actual Infernal Lord.

  Its fate was sealed the moment it met the War Princess born from countless battles.

  Chapter 279 - Valiant! Powerful!Terrifying!

  A stupendous sight was playing itself out in the First Realm of Hell as an immensely large golden sword pierced through the skies and struck the cornered body of the Infernal Aberration once more.

  BOOM!

  World shaking rumblings ensued as yet another grave injury was dealt to the Aberration, its mind registering waves of pain as it looked at the beings surrounding it in immense fury.

  Even more attacks rained down from the bodies of the Void Rank Leaders from various powers that were currently serving as incarnations of a Celestial, injuring its body even more as the will of the Infernal began wavering.

  It felt such a large amount of pain that even its strong body could no longer continue to withstand it, and its thoughts unwillingly went to a phase of planning it did not want to carry out yet as its eyes were still lingering on the body of the brilliantly glowing being with white wings.

  It breathed calmly as something clicked inside its body, essence being moved to the correct places as like a door being unlocked by a key, its realm went above the Void Rank so that it could escape from this hellish situation through ascending to the Second Realm of Hell!
