Endless Horde: Through the Eyes of a Godking

Chapter 351: Lost Continent Reclamation; Pillars vs. Sins

--

'They made that look too easy,' Isabella thought to herself. 'Well, it probably was easy for them, but still...'

She couldn't help but feel a little envious seeing how strong Erica and Chrissy were. She thought that she'd caught up at least, but this scenario enlightened her of the still-widening gap between them.

Isabella obviously knew who these two were. They were her seniors in the Starlight Royal Academy, and even back then, they were already famous for their strength and beauty.

She looked up to them secretly. Thinking that they're good role models for female superhumans. She too yearned to reach the same level of strength as theirs; she also wanted to stand shoulder to shoulder with them since she thought this would be the minimum requirement to befriend these two.

Isabella thought that she was catching up, but it turns out that she wasn't. Not only was she not catching up, she's been left far behind.

Of course, she knew that this must have something to do with Cedric. It isn't a secret that these two were linked to him, after all. And if he's truly serious about them, there's no way he wouldn't give them assistance. But she also knew that these girls have their own pride just like her.

Sure, they might receive his help once or twice, but they wouldn't let him do everything. They'd take on their own roads themselves; that's how prodigies work.

Shaking her head, she discarded these unimportant thoughts and finished up the Kraken and the Leviathan.

Just as she said, she alone was enough to handle these two. It's the Deep Sea Demon Serpent that made this complicated. Since Chrissy and Erica decided to handle that thing, these two were obviously incapable of escaping her grasp.

She fought the two monstrosities at the same time as her seniors dealt with the demon serpent. Though those girls were obviously taking it easy while she had to exert a certain amount of effort still.

'Doesn't matter, I suppose. I should just be thankful that these sea demons won't bother anybody ever again.'

Since most of the stronger sea demons weren't technically from the Demon Race, they won't be reincarnated through the Soul Network and Flesh Incubator. Once they died here, it's permanent.

The Kraken, Leviathan, and the Deep Sea Demon Serpents were the three strongest sea demons on Prime Earth. With them gone, humans could simply round up the rest. Of course, it would be taken care of later, after they're done with this continent.

"Well, party's over it seems." Chrissy sighed in a bummed tone. She then looked at Isabella and said, "We're going back now. Do you want to come with us?"

Isabella looked stunned at the sudden offer. A couple of thoughts flashed through her mind in an instant without showing any change in her expression.

She then shook her head and politely replied, "Thank you for the offer, but I'm fine. I'll stay around and help out to finish this operation faster."

Chrissy gave Erica a look, but the latter seemed to ignore it.

"Alright, if that's what you want. Stay safe now, alright? Don't underestimate the stray. Expect the worst from the desperate ones," Erica reminded her before taking Chrissy's hand and disappearing from her sight.

Isabella remained silent for a couple of seconds after they left. Her cold and indifferent expression made it difficult for others to tell what exactly she was thinking.

After that, she shook her head and gazed upon the still ongoing chaos on this continent. Her sky blue eyes flashed with a cold light as she turned into a silver mist heading deeper into the fray.

Boom! BOOM! BOOOOOM!

Inside the cage, the pillars of humanity and the sin demons were trapped. A series of cataclysmic explosions resounded in quick succession.

Lights of myriad colors flashed all over the place, and the land beneath them trembled from the sheer impact of their clash.

Roooaarr!

Obviously, the strongest one here was King Pride...

In his maddened state, where he has completely succumbed to the depths of his latent power, he could barely discern allies and enemies. Hell, he couldn't even remember his own name. It's as if anything that isn't related to fighting or killing had been completely discarded by his brain to make room for more power.

Even the sheer tap of his fingers sent the air screaming. His punches could blow a hole through mountains, and his kicks could overturn the seas. He was fast, accurate, and extremely vicious in his assault.

No human in this cage could match King Pride's raw strength. Fiona might be able to, but only for a couple of blows. Even her absurd strength couldn't compare to the seemingly endless well of power flooding out of the insignia of Pride.

Fortunately, there's simply no need to match Pride in a straight contest of raw power. Not only was it unwise to do so, it's also meaningless. The entire reason why they trapped them all here was to kill them, not to have an arm wrestling contest.

The few times when Fiona had to receive King Pride's strength up front was to prevent him from blowing up one of her comrades. This guy wouldn't simply sit still and allow them to kill him, after all.

Other than that, it's wild goose chase along with the other Sin Demons. And it's plain to see that they're becoming increasingly frustrated the longer this goes on.

Lust, Envy, Sloth, Gluttony, and Greed not only have to be wary of humans but also Pride because he can and will attack them too in his current state. The worst part is that the humans were taking advantage of this.

Sometimes they would purposefully throw them in the way of Pride, causing him to lash out fiercely; this will in turn force another sin demon to step in to save the other from Pride's attack, but this creates an opening that humans never failed to grasp.

It's so frustrating to deal with. They think that humans are so shameless to fight them in this way, but the humans think that it's actually one of their smarter ideas.

Who asked Pride to be so uncontrollable in state, after all? It certainly wasn't the humans; that much is obvious.

If they had anybody to blame, the blame would be on the one who put this faulty insignia on Pride since it's due to this that they have to deal with this kind of problem.

Of course, the other sin demons weren't pushovers either. They have their own strengths in this fight that they're not afraid to take advantage of.

Take Lust for example; her mental power was obviously the strongest here. That's how her seductions work after all. The constant erosion of her allure and provocative gestures was something that humans needed to watch out for all the time. One slip is all it would take for her to takeover, and in a heated battle like this, that is no different from a death sentence.

Sloth and Gluttony were damage absorbers; the latter is even more so than the former.

Gluttony's slimy body just absorbs impacts like they were nothing. If someone says that he's simply eating them, the humans will be inclined to believe so too. His movements were practically uninterruptable because of this, giving him more freedom to position himself wherever he's needed.

The only downside of this form of his was that he's painfully slow. Heavy and slow. There had been a couple of times in this fight where he moved a little too late, even though he reacted early. This disadvantage of his balanced out the earlier advantage he held.

Big Sloth was lazy even in a heated battle like this. His movements looked lethargic and unwilling. His eyes seem to say that he'd rather be anywhere else than here. He's not as tough as Gluttony, but he's slightly faster. Moreover, his long and lanky limbs could stretch like rubber and act like whips to attack, giving him more options in this battle.

Greed was the most unpredictable here. The amount of shit he pulls out of that ridicuously overstuffed and oversized knapsack of his was insane.

In one moment, he's holding a melee artifact that could either extend or retract through his mental commands. Then, on the next second, he will pull out some kind of gun to shoot at another target before switching to another weapon.

He never uses the same thing twice, and so far, he hasn't run out of trinkets to use.

And finally, there's Lady Envy...

If there's anybody from their side who's the most balanced and versatile fighter, it would be her. She isn't as strong as King Pride, her mental power isn't as high as Lust, she's not as tough and flexible as Gluttony and Sloth, and not as unpredictable as Greed, but she's a master fighter.

She plays to her strengths well, and even though she doesn't specialize in one thing, her skillset has a wide range, allowing her to do feats that made her a very capable fighter.

If there's anybody here whom the Sin Demons could trust to dictate the rhythm of the battle, it's not King Pride who's the strongest. It's Lady Envy.
