Lux's eyes had already turned bloodshot. As the Guildmaster, he was receiving death notifications in real-time.
When he saw that Cethus had died, he felt as if someone had stabbed a knife in his heart. However, he knew that if he hesitated for even a fraction of a second, more of his people were going to die.
Daniel also realized this. He chuckled and said something to the silhouette of the Outer God that was hovering above the battlefield. The Half-Elf instinctively knew that the Pseudo-God was up to no good, but before he could do anything, the Outer God had already opened its eyes and prepared to attack.
At the beginning, Lux thought that the Outer God's target was him, Hereswith, Keoza, and King Azza. Blackfire had appeared in front of him, acting as a shield, ready to deflect any attacks that were about to hit its Master.
As a Divine Artifact, it had the power to block an attack that was equivalent to the full-powered attack that almost killed its Master back then.
But it could only do so once.
After that, Blackfire would disappear, and Lux wouldn't be able to call it again for an entire month.
The Black Coffin had already prepared for such a scenario, so it had unleashed all of the Creatures under its command to help the Alliance fight.
Even if it were to be destroyed, the Creatures that it had summoned wouldn't disappear.
Of course, if these Creatures died, they would return to Blackfire, but Lux would need to pay a price in order to revive them again.
So the moment that the Outer God unleashed its attack, and it didn't head in their direction, the Half-Elf immediately had a bad premonition.
The beam attack of the Outer God flew towards the Floating Island of Edea, making Lux's face turn pale.
But at that moment, a golden light appeared and cut off the beam attack in half. However, the attack still hit the sides of the floating island, destroying a large portion of it.
When he saw the notification that Keane had died, Lux roared in anger, making the Pseudo-God chuckle.
"Danieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeel!" Lux's killing intent manifested and Deus Gigantia answered his call.
With a slash of its giant sword, all Abyssal Creatures blocking his path were instantly annihilated, creating a clear path that led to the hateful Pseudo-God who had killed two of the people he held dear in his life.
Although Cethus was annoying and arrogant, he was a very loyal person. The Dragon Born wouldn't hesitate to stand on the front lines of a battlefield in order to protect his friends, even though he didn't like the concept of dying.
Keane, on the other hand, had accompanied Lux on his adventures alongside Cai. The swordsman only spoke a few words, but whenever the Half-Elf needed his help, he would be there to stand by his side.
Before they left Elysium, Rose secretly talked to him in private and asked him to keep an eye out for Keane.
"The two of us agreed to get married after this battle is over," Rose had said back then. "So, please, win and keep Keane safe if you can help it."
Lux's eyes were already bloodshot at this point as he flew straight towards the Outer God, who was looking at him with an amused look on his face.
"So they are your weakness huh?" Daniel smirked. "It's nice to have friends and loved ones, right? How about I kill them right before your eyes?"
Daniel then gave an order to all the Abyssal Monsters to target the retreating Floating Island and kill everything on it.
Lux, who had already arrived at Daniel's location, thrust his sword forward, and Deus Gigantia answered his call.
Daniel calmly summoned the Golden Scales of Eternity, and something as big as Deus Gigantia appeared behind him.
The true body of the Outer God, Nyarlathotep, summoned a black sword in its hand and clashed against Deus Gigantia.
The clash between the two was so great, that almost everyone around them was blown away due to their collision.
"Stand aside, Lux!"
Keoza's shout broke the Half-Elf out of his daze, as he made the Draconic Skeleton King move its body to the side, just in time for two breath attacks to collide with the giant Outer's God's body.
At least that was the plan. However, several black tentacles emerged from the ground and blocked the Crystal and Lightning Breath of the two Dragon Kings, keeping Nyarlatothep safe.
But before Daniel could even laugh, a Skeleton Queen emerged from thin air and punched the Outer God's face, sending it skidding.
Daniel then glanced in the direction of the beautiful Elf and smiled.
"I remember you," Daniel said. "When I was still following the words of that Goddess of Solais in the past, I once proposed to you, but you rejected me. But since that happened long ago, how about you we start fresh and you become my woman? I promise that I'll make you my first wife. How about it?"
"Do you know why I rejected you in the past?" Hereswith asked with a mischievous smile on her beautiful face.
"No," Daniel replied. "I've always wondered why you rejected me. I am quite confident with my looks and the people also called me their Hero at that time. So, I don't understand why you rejected my offer."
"The answer is really simple," Hereswith answered. "It's because you're a cunt and your d*ck ain't worth sh*t."
"A pity then," Daniel sneered. "I guess I'll just f*ck you like the b*tch you are after I'm done dealing with these mongrels."
The Pseudo-God then snapped his finger. Countless tentacles wrapped around the Skeleton Queen, holding it in place.
"Just watch on the side," Daniel stated as he glanced at Lux and the two Dragon Kings, who were preparing to launch their next attacks. "And take a good look at what happens to those who oppose me."
But, just as Daniel was about to fight against Lux and the two Dragon Kings, the tentacles that bound the Skeleton Queen all burst with Golden Flames.
"You think too highly of yourself," Hereswith said in contempt. "This is why you'll never be a God. You failed the first time, and you'll fail again this time."
"You talk too much," Daniel said before waving his hand. "Know your place, b*tch."
A giant tentacle that was hundreds of meters long lashed out against the Skeleton Queen and sent it flying.
But before Daniel could even laugh at this scene in front of him, a fist hit the side of his face making him fly in the opposite direction of the punch.
"You talk too much," Lux said before charging in Daniel's direction with his fist raised to strike. Lux's Deus Gigantia made sure that Nyarlathotep wouldn't be able to interfere with its Master's battle with the Pseudo-God.
Since the Outer God was only moving automatically due to the influence of the Golden Scales that had taken control over its body, it couldn't think on its own and simply followed Daniel's orders to deal with the enemies that were in front of it.
"Now you've done it," Daniel teleported in front of Lux and gave the Half-Elf an uppercut, which the latter dodged at the last second.
The two then engaged each other in a brawl, with each of their blows strong enough to instantly kill a Calamity-Ranked Beast. The ones with that rank and below had all evacuated from the battlefield of the two people, who were at each other's throats.
