Chapter 584
In just a few minutes, a clear and clean path was created after the total obliteration caused by Forne and the rest . The ground was turned into lava, the air filled with exploding red particles and the purple orbs which acted as some sort of black holes, sucking everything close to them . The usually mindless Cthulhu didn’t recklessly charge at them after witnessing this bloody massacre, their forces slowly backed away, shocking obvious signs of dread .
The tall and golden-eyes ones kept firing arrows which decayed before they even crossed half the distance . So, just like that, Forne’s team arrived before the Sky Door within three minutes, more or less .
The giants dragging the massive chains weren’t able to defend themselves so they were cruelly killed by the rampaging Void Behemoth, which ripped their heads, leaving nothing but lifeless and headless corpses .
The gigantic metal door stopped its advance and remained tightly shut while facing the destruction magic of the Black Seat of Death .
\"It seems we need more firepower to force it open . \"
He motioned for ’X’ and G’am Tir, who haven’t participated in the battle against the Cthulhu . The enemies grew warier when they saw Lucy and co attempt to enter the door, causing the far away generals to personally step in .
Silhouettes that were 3 to 4 meters tall rushed at the group, their speed insanely faster, to the point where you could only see a black shadow .
\"We’ll deal with them . Begin with haste!\"
Forne jumped in the air and performed a simple punch in the air, causing the sky to rumble and an absurd explosion to occur, momentarily stopping the incoming generals . When they were struck by the explosion, Forne was able to see their appearances, which was drastically different than the normal Cthulhu or the humanoid archers .
Their skin was jet black and they wielded curved red blades, moreover, there were dark red flashing crowns above their heads .
In total, there were three of these generals, two coming from the front and tried to stealthily attack from the back . Celes, Lucy, and Forne took one each while the rest prepared for the big blow meant for the Sky Door, which is very difficult to open using brute force .
\"Insect-like livestock!\"
One of the generals spoke with a ghastly voice as its body blurred, almost melting into nothingness .
\"Hmpf! We’ll see about that!\"
Forne was like a raging beast, shooting into the sky and unleashing one explosion after the other, turning the luminous canopy into a scarlet curtain filled with cracks .
Celes didn’t pale in comparison as she made full use of her rare Death Physique . Despite not having access to her techniques, the Death Magic released from her body was enough to push away the invisible general, forcing it to maintain distance and only circle around, trying to find an opening that he won’t find any time soon .
The only one who slightly struggled was Lucy and that was only because she was hiding her true powers such as the Yin Physique and the fusion flame . There’s also Lonely Moon but it was stored in her ring, which was currently disabled, unfortunately .
The black-skinned general descended upon the White Specter like meteor, continuously waving its blades at Lucy, leaving her no time to retaliate . Its attacks were fast and precise, mainly aimed at her vital parts, though, due to her unusually resilient body, the successful hits didn’t do any severe damage .
\"Why isn’t she attacking?\"
Celes, who was standing at the same spot, frowned upon seeing Lucy in a difficult situation . She mumbled with a low voice but the supposedly busy ’X’ chuckled and replied with a crisp voice:
\"Wait for it... wait for it!\"
He raised his head and stared at the bloody sky, where you could see numerous mushroom clouds .
Thirty seconds later, Lucy’s clothes became bloodied from all the injuries she received, nonetheless, her movements remained oddly monotonous . Either crossing her arms to block or dashing away from the general, which was enjoying this exciting hunt, contrary to the other two .
Even Arthur, who was watching from afar, wasn’t worried about Lucy . Just like ’X’, he stared at the sky and smiled, already knowing what’s going to happen .
\"I expected no less from the Madam . \"
The Quad-Spirit, having a strong affinity to Earth and Fire, was the first to grasp what’s going to happen .
Right after it spoke, the clouded red sky was split in two by a massive descending projectile . It was an absurdly large meteor covered in magma, its sheer size and speed added more to its pressure .
Even the explosions repeatedly occurring in the sky did nothing to the massive boulder, which seemed to distort space itself .
\"Oi oi, I said take it fucking easy!\"

Seeing the meteor coming straight at where he was, Forne panicked and loudly cursed before an ear-piercing explosion to push himself far away .
The Grey Seat of Decay remained on her spot for several seconds before snapping out of it and enveloping herself in a fog, appearing next to the Void Behemoth, which roared loudly and raised a spheric violent barrier, which seemed to be strong enough to absorb anything .
The only ones exposed to the meteor were the two still-alive generals and the rest of the Cthulhu that were too slow and clustered together to escape in time .
When the magma-filled rock finally crashed into the earth, the destruction preceded the deafening sound of the explosion . Large bubbles of magma flew into the air before hitting dozens of those hideous monsters, melting them on the spot .
The radius of the meteor was no less than two hundred meters so the devastation it caused was seriously no joke . When dust covered the area and the temperature dramatically rose, you could hear nothing but an eerie quietness .
Whether it’s the defending soldiers or the Cthulhu, they weren’t able to process what happened . Everything resumed its course when the agonizing cries of the enemies were heard, surely caused by the spreading Lava which turned the whole earth into a ground where no one could walk on .
Even the closed Sky Door opened was 20% opened but after a few seconds, it started closing again . Thankfully, ’X’, G’am and the Void Behemoth already finished preparing the blow .
The behemoth supplied G’am Tir with an unlimited amount of Void Magic, which in his turn, the ex-Emperor converted it into a black liquid .
As for ’X’, he hesitated for a brief moment before retrieving a minuscule coin from his pocket .
\"It’s such a waste to use it on the door... *sigh*\"
Albeit his unwillingness, ’X’ still carried his task and threw the coin at the door, causing it to stop closing . The coin emitted a loud clicking sound then went through the opened crack and expanded in size, becoming as big as the Sky Door .
Thanks to whatever ’X’ threw, the door was unable to close due to the coin making it remain in that semi-opened state . The final touch was initiated by G’am Tir, who, after chanting a few incomprehensible verses, splattered in liquid on the ground .
Like some sort of a sentient being, the liquid rose in the air then transformed into a faceless and extremely short humanoid . It was made of the black liquid and behaved childishly .
G’am Tir pointed at the door while talking to the short black humanoid, which responded with actions rather needlessly talking .
It released creepy laughter before flying toward the massive door, its hands raising in the air and grabbing an enlarged needle that appeared from within his liquefied chest .
The ’boy’ stabbed the black needle on the door before disappearing . Seconds later, the needle exploded, unleashing purple tentacle-like things which covered the whole door and, surprisingly, devoured it whole, leaving nothing but a welcoming entrance for the participants .
Without wasting any more time, Forne and the rest went through the Sky Door and disappeared from everyone’s view . Though, right behind them, several clever participants followed their footsteps, not caring about the incoming Cthulhu that wanted to block their path .
\"Still no signs of Zodiak?\"
\"Are you fond of talking to yourself?\"
Right after he asked the Quad-Spirit, a dark cloud descended from the sky, landing right next to the startled parasite .
An old man wearing a tattered grey robe revealed himself, his face riddled with wrinkles and his pupils contained some sort of primordial darkness that brought fear to anyone who stared back at them .
\"Took you long enough . \"-Arthur
\"Long enough for what? I was watching the battle, just like you... just from a much higher viewpoint . \"
Arthur glanced at his reincarnation and spoke after a brief silence .
\"Aren’t you going to through the Sky Door?\"
\"It’s still too early for that, don’t you think so?\"
\"Don’t you want to climb to the top floor in order to get rid of Sol’khin?\"
Hearing this, the old man chuckled and retorted:
\"Unlike that impatient boy, I have to do things in order . Did you know? Each floor has a meaning but not all are meant for one person . \"
Zodiak looked at the rumbling sky before continuing: \"And I believe this one is for me . \"
\"What can you hope to achieve by staying here? Earn points?\"
\"Absolution, my dear benefactor . What I could not do in the past, I shall do now . \"
