RISE OF EROS

Biacko, Zaros, Elidyr, and many other demigods guarding the cave tensed as they felt the strength of these men, but they did not cower. Biacko, being the strongest and most sensitive, sensed the strength of the enemies.

Obviously, their forces were superior, but they were more numerous, so the balance was not that unbalanced. Still, Biacko was surprised at the strength displayed by the leaders of Purgatory.

They had not arrived yet, but since they did not bother to hide their presence, they were easy to identify. There was no demigod of that strength that was not known to them.

That was the proof they needed. If they did not recognize him, it meant that they were either a hidden demigod, which was unlikely, or they were members of Purgatory. Biacko and the others knew that Purgatory had 5 leaders and 2 were dead, so they immediately concluded that the three approaching were the remaining leaders.

Within seconds, they prepared for battle. They had already discussed plans on how to defend the place, as the possibility of being attacked was high, so, although the enemies appeared quickly, that did not prevent them from organizing quickly.

Although there was tension, there was no fear. They had made their plans and their forces were not small. It was not long before three figures covered in red, blue, and green cloaks appeared in the sky.

Even though Biacko, Zaros, Elidyr, and many other powerful demigods were in front of them, the three leaders of Purgatory seemed not to see them. The three of them had only looked at the cave entrance since they arrived.

Their consciousnesses were chaotic, but as they felt the divinity emanating from the cave, they only had one thought, "Obtain it." Although the fragments of the fallen god they had absorbed urged them to search for the other remnants, the divinity was also precious.

Don’t forget that fallen gods are born from the sin of letting themselves be carried away by their domains and stealing the divinity of other gods, so at this moment, the three leaders of Purgatory followed in these footsteps.

Without warning, the three leaders of Purgatory moved at high speed, wanting to enter the cave, but Biacko and the others weren’t going to allow it, so they intercepted them.

A powerful energy wave spread throughout the place at the clash of the two groups, but the cave where Andrew and the others were was not damaged at all, in fact, they didn’t even feel the shock.

The cave contained the remnants of a deceased god, and Andrew was performing a vitally important ritual, so they wouldn’t leave such a place without any protection. Biacko and the other demigods protected the place, but they also raised protective barriers to defend the place. They all contributed to these barriers, so it was very powerful.

Even a being as powerful as Crhono would have some difficulty breaking through it. Just think about it, how powerful would a barrier raised by more than a dozen demigods of Biacko, Zaros, and Elidyr’s level be?

The energy waves traveling throughout the place did not dent the cave’s barrier. It was because of this barrier that Biacko and the other demigods did not hold back when facing the enemies.

Only at this moment did the three leaders of Purgatory pay attention to Biacko, Zaros, Elidyr, and the other demigods present. They might not be right in their thinking, but they could tell who stood in their way.

The fierce battle then began. Surprisingly, the leaders of Purgatory had the advantage. The fragment of the fallen god they had absorbed had somehow greatly enhanced their powers. Discover exclusive content at NovelBin.Côm

To be more exact, this assumption was wrong. This could only be said if their strength was compared to that obtained by Carcom when he absorbed the fragment of the fallen god into his possession.

Since they had all absorbed a fragment of the fallen god of the same size and essence, it was not unreasonable to think that they would have the same strength, but it was obvious that the power of the leaders of Purgatory was far above that of Carcom.

This confused Biacko. He had spoken with Crhono and he had told him of Carcom’s changes the moment he attacked. Since he was not present, it would be difficult to understand his strength, but Crhono gave him a good comparison.

Although Carcom had grown stronger by absorbing the fragment of the fallen god, his strength was not superior to that of the dragon kings. It is true that due to the tough skin he had obtained, he could overwhelm some of the dragon kings, but the reality was that he was not as strong as them.

This was what puzzled Biacko. All five dragon kings have similar combat strength. In fact, Biacko could claim to be the strongest and no one would dare to say otherwise.

With that being said, it was understood that Biacko should be more powerful than these leaders of Purgatory, but the current battle had shown him otherwise. Not only was he not stronger, but he was being overwhelmed.

Just one of these leaders was more powerful than him and if it weren’t for the help of the others, he might have died a long time ago. The situation was clear, as there were only three of them, and Biacko and the other demigods were more than a dozen.

The battles were 4 to 1 or even 5 to one at times and they were still being suppressed. This began to worry them, because if they were already so strong, what would happen if they obtained another of the remnants of the fallen god?

Just that thought made them tremble with fear. Biacko knew that if they continued like this, it would be detrimental, so he gave the order, "Dragons, permission to use your true form". Instantly, all the dragons and Biacko himself transformed into gigantic flying lizards of different colors. Biacko was the spitting image of the Fire Dragons of Earth.

It had to be said that he was imposing. Compared to the other Dragon Kings, they were not that big, but their scales seemed almost as impenetrable as the Dragon King of Earth who boasted the best defense.

Their claws and teeth were as sharp as legendary swords and their eyes were as fiery as fire. Although they sacrificed their speed when transforming, their increased strength and endurance made up for what they lost.

With the dragons taking their true form, the situation changed. The balance of the battle was leveled and now the leaders of Purgatory were not on the offensive. This does not mean that they were outmatched, but now they were not as relaxed.

That was not ideal, but at least they could fight as equals to a certain extent or at least that was what they thought, but then the leaders of Purgatory began to release a strange black energy.

Instantly, their forces increased in great numbers and they once again suppressed Biacko and the other protectors of the cave. The situation seemed desperate, not because they were about to lose, but because it was a fact that they would.

Defeating them would not be easy and much less fast, that was a fact, so, they were not in immediate danger, but everyone could understand that they could not defeat the leaders of Purgatory.

Unless they made a huge mistake, the leaders of Purgatory would win the battle and although they could delay the inevitable, it does not change the fact that it was frustrating to fight when you know you cannot win.

The battle intensified and the leaders of Purgatory increasingly gained ground despite the discomfort of Biacko, Zaros, Elidyr, and the other demigods of fighting a losing battle, they did not give up.
