Chapter 690: Battle at Baston Fort

After a swift scan, Charles saw the opened black coffin lying a few meters away from him and walked toward it.

"I finally got this coffin. But did I make the right choice by releasing such an evil being?" He furrowed his brows and soon shook his head.

"While she causes a mess in this layer, I will reap all the benefits and go to the next floor sooner." He quickly touched the black coffin and scanned it.

A second later, a row of information appeared before his eyes.

...

[Name: Eternal Coffin

Rank: Unknown

Description: The Eternal Coffin was one of the seventeen cursed artifacts created by Goddess of Death ******** to seal away the Supreme Demon *******'s Minions, but it was later forgotten due to the passage of Time.

Abilities:

1. Eternal Seal: The Eternal Coffin can create an unbreakable seal that transcends time and space, trapping even the most powerful entity in a timeless prison.

2. Abyssal Suppression: The coffin emanates an otherworldly aura that suppresses the chaotic energies of the sealed being, preventing any attempts to escape or influence the mortal realm.

3. Cosmic Blackout: Once activated, the coffin plunges its surroundings into a cosmic blackout, rendering it invisible and undetectable by any means, ensuring the absolute secrecy of the imprisoned being's location.]

'Wow! Isn't this almost similar to the ones Azoth mentioned before?'

Charles quickly stored the Eternal Coffin and moved out of the chamber.

Soon, he arrived outside and looked at the thousands of corpses.

"Bloodline Essences....!!! I drink!" Grace's voice echoed in his head all of a sudden.

"So, you drink bloodline essences, huh?" Charles nodded as he unsheathed the sword and moved towards the nearby corpse.

Then, he released the wisdom power and leviated it.

At the same time, he aimed the sword at the corpse's chest area, enveloped the sword in an Intermediate Sword aura, and made a deep cut.

As Grace started absorbing the bloodline essences from the corpse, Charles manipulated the wisdom power and took a head-sized reddish crystal from it in two seconds.

He then moved towards the nearby corpse and took out the next elemental crystal.

For the next two hours, he remained in the town's ruin, continued to take out the elemental Crystals, and stored them in his ring.

"I got a total of 1358 Fairy Crystals, 553 being Legend Rank Elemental Crystals and 805 being Pseudo-Legend Rank Elemental Crystals. Along with other crystals, I can have around 2000 Fairy Crystals." He also wanted to bring and sell the corpses at a high price but realized that his storage ring was almost filled.

'Once I return, I should take the Pocket Dimension and carry it all the time.' Nodding inwardly, he turned his gaze towards the direction where the Human Settlement was located.

"I should go too." He cast [Fallen Angel's Wings] spell, covered his back in eerie black wings, and flapped it forcefully.

He flew up in the sky a second later and soon hovered 300 meters above the ground.

Then, he released his wisdom power and searched the surroundings.

"No magical beasts in the surrounding 5 kilometers. Hmm? I also sense the Pendant's location. Thera?" Although she hid her presence well, even from the Evil Goddess, Charles still managed to see her thanks to his spiritual imprint in the artifact.

A second later, he disappeared from there and reappeared more than two kilometers away from the ruined city.

Then, he slowly descended from the sky and landed beside a towering tree.

At the same time, Thera also deactivated her concealing artifact and revealed her presence before cautiously walking in his direction.

Meanwhile, Charles gave a deep look at Thera and asked in a solemn tone.

"How did you hold the Evil Goddess in Space-Time seal for over 15,000 years?"

A chuckle escaped from Thera's lips as she returned the Pendant to Charles and started to speak.

"If she weren't sealed in that coffin and weakened completely, I wouldn't have managed to last for more than a few seconds. And thanks to my specialty in Souls, I even managed to block her soul from leaving this coffin."

Charles nodded in understanding and wore the Pendant.

"So, what should we do now?" Thera asked.

"Hmm, we are going after the Evil Goddess and check out the situation," Charles responded after thinking.

Although he wanted to avoid meeting her again, he had no choice if he wanted to achieve his goal.

"I'm pretty sure Devil Crow and all other Commanders might have already been aware of this Evil Goddess's existence. A big battle might happen sooner." Charles said as he flapped the wings and rose to the sky.

Thera also created foggy wings out of nowhere and flapped them forcefully before ascending to the sky.

...

Baston Fortress.

At that moment, the entrance of the Baston fortress was filled with thousands of Demons and Devils, hundreds of Humans, Elves, Dwarves and many more races.

All of them were Legend Rank powerhouse and appeared well equipped.

Although many chaotic races showed open hostility to other races, they couldn't even dare to fight due to the Order through sacred oath.

Suddenly, a gigantic shadow of a bird appeared in the sky and soon appeared closer to the fortress.

Before long, a 20-meter-tall gigantic bird with eerie black feathers landed before the army of humans, demons, and other races and gazed at them with crimson eyes.

"I don't see the presence of any Commanders here. Where are they?" The bird asked in an ancient voice.

At that moment, a human-like demon with crimson eyes and bat wings stepped forward and answered.

"Lord Erwin said that they have been secretly preparing to ambush the enemy when the right time arrives, my Lord. He asked us to act as decoy."

Surprisingly, Devil Crow didn't suspect a thing and nodded its head in understanding.

"Then, I'll face the intruder head-on and give them a big opportunity. Meanwhile, you guys should support me from behind." Devil Crow said as it lapped its wings and cried fiercely before releasing its wisdom power in all directions.

"Oh? A Succubi?" The Devil Crow let out a snort and waited patiently.

Minutes passed slowly, and soon, everyone saw a small figure flying from the cloudy sky before landing a few hundred meters away from the gathered army.

The next instant, Human Mages, Elven Archers, Demons and Dwarves with Rune weapons, and all other races used their long-ranged weapons and aimed at the small female figure.

She looked around 170 cm tall, had eerie black horns, and wore a fitting black dress, revealing her big blossoms. At that moment, she held a black scythe and gave a playful smile to everyone.

Just by looking at her beautiful figure, the males from humans, demons, elves, and other races were captivated by a strange charm power and completely dropped their guards. Even some females were affected by this strange energy and showed signs of dropping their weapons.

"What are you guys doing?" A roaring screech emerged from the Devil Crow as it released its wisdom power and blocked the strange power from influencing everyone's thoughts.

"What a bad bird to interrupt my amusement." Evil Goddess Vespera said while licking her lips and moving like a shadow.

With a swift motion, Vespera arrived before the giant Devil Crow and swung her black scythe, the air around her twisted with chaotic energy. The Devil Crow cawed defiantly, its gigantic wings unfolding as it prepared for battle.

The two powerful beings clashed, unleashing a storm of energy that sent shockwaves across the battlefield. Demons, humans, elves, and other races watched in awe and fear as the clash unfolded.

Devil Crow unleashed bursts of infernal flames, countering Vespera's dark energy. Vespera, in turn, displayed immense agility, evading attacks with ethereal movements. The battlefield became a chaotic symphony of magic, elemental forces, and otherworldly powers.

Everyone observed the battle closely, realizing the significance of this moment.

"We should join too!" The vampire from earlier shouted and tried to intervene but soon saw a sudden shift in the battle.

Suddenly, Vespera's movement increased twofold, causing multiple sharp wounds on Devil Crow's body. Like a shadow, the Evil Goddess suddenly arrived above the Devil Crow's body and made a sharp slash at one of its wings.

A shrilling, painful craw echoed through the dimension as Devil Crow couldn't endure the soul-tearing pain and staggered pathetically.

Just as Vespara was about to attack the Crow again, a gigantic tree of bones and flesh suddenly appeared in the sky, released one of its strange vines of blackish bone, and pulled the Devil Crow to the other side.

"Chaos Lord!!!! I don't need your help!" Devil Crow roared as it tried to stand up steadily and enveloped its body in pure black flames.

"Dumb bird, she is just toying with you. I don't know who this higher being is, but neither you nor I are a match against her." Lord of Chaos said grimly, turning his attention towards the Evil Goddess and asking.

"Please calm your anger and not attack my people without mercy, Your Majesty. We'll listen to your every demand and act obediently."

"Humph! Are you begging for your life now? Pathetic!" Devil Crow retorted and started gathering a strange orb of black fire in its beak region.

"Oh no! That dumb bird is going to use that Black Sun spell!" Lord of Chaos said in a startled tone and tried to stop him.

A look of surprise appeared on Vespera's face for the first time.

"Interesting! I never thought I could see Seiyon's unique flame here." But she shook her head and snapped her fingers.

A second later, all the negative energies hidden within the surrounding environment suddenly gathered towards Vespera's hand and formed a pure black orb.

"Unfortunately for you, I'm pretty much an expert in manipulating all the negative energies." As soon as she spoke, the black fire orb slowly became dim and soon vanished, causing everyone in the battle to widen their eyes.
