RISE OF EROS

Faced with strong intimidation from Oliver, the barbarians did not dare to attack. They aren't stupid, so they wouldn't get into a battle they would surely lose, so they turned around and left.

Oliver didn't even look at them. After threatening them, he returned to Andrew and Castor, to await the barbarians' decision. "What should we do?" one of the barbarians asked the leader.

The leader did not answer him immediately, but it did not take him long to say, "We are leaving. We can't offend an expert of that caliber, at least not for now, anyway, mark it. They will surely go to Star City, if we have the opportunity we will take revenge in the future."

The other barbarian nodded in understanding and together with the others they began to retreat. Andrew and Castor, who were watching everything, breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the barbarians leaving.

While it is true that the 3 of them were able to deal with all of these barbarians, they would not have done so without suffering losses. Oliver might not suffer any problems, but Castor would have it a little more difficult, and Andrew, well, if he was not protected could die.

In the group of barbarians, there were several minor experts and the leader was a mid-level expert just like Castor, so it wouldn't be difficult for them to put up a strong opposition if they wanted to.

After the group of barbarians had left, Oliver said, "We must leave quickly, before more trouble appears. Also, now we must be more careful when we get to the city."

Oliver's words surprised Andrew and Castor. Although they knew that Star City was dangerous in many ways, it was not a lawless place, which is why Oliver's words caught their attention.

Oliver, noticing Andrew and Castor's expression, smiled wryly and said, "Star City is a very strange place, but when so many races come together, there is no shortage of conflicts. We just offended the barbarians, they will certainly cause us problems in the future."

Andrew and Castor immediately understood what Oliver meant. It wasn't like every barbarian in the city was going to sabotage them, but at least everyone affiliated with the barbarian group that tried to rob them would.

Knowing that a headache was approaching, Andrew and the others resumed their journey. They were less than 2 days from Star City and they already wanted to arrive, to start their plans.

While, on the lost continent, the battle had not yet begun, the new continent was already suffering the consequences. It turns out that the 9 abysmal humanoids who had escaped under the pursuit of the demigod-level experts of the joint army had arrived on the continent.

Along the way these abysmals separated, forcing their pursuers to separate as well. Due to this separation, the places they arrived at were different, but the same scene occurred in all of them.

These abysmals wanted to cause chaos, so they wanted to reach a big city and start destroying it. For this reason, they did not stay fighting against the experts who were chasing them.

After several days of flight and chase, they arrived at the continent and the abysmals quickly found large cities in which to go crazy. The experts who were chasing them were upset, as they had discovered the objective of these monsters, but they could not stop them.

Although they were outnumbered 2 to 1, they were all demigods, so it would be difficult to hold back the abysmals if they wanted to flee. It is known that to block a demigod-level expert, they must at least outnumber him 3 to 1 or be substantially stronger.

The demigod-level experts who chased after the abysmal humanoids were not strong enough to block them with just 2 people, which was why they came to this situation.

Although these experts were from different countries and races, they could not allow the abysmals to cause problems, as it would only make them lose face and cause diplomatic problems.

Experts at this level no longer care so much about politics, but they are not completely removed from it, that is why they always look out for their country of origin and it is for this reason that they would not allow the abysmals to cause disturbances, even if it was a country different from theirs.

These experts are aware that if they allow it when all this is over, the injured countries will complain to the countries to which these experts belong because they are supposed to defeat the abysmals.

Politics is that treacherous. As long as they have a common goal, alliances can be as strong as steel, but the moment each other's interests are damaged, they are as weak as a sheet of paper in a fire.

Unexpectedly, one of the countries affected by the attack of the abysmals was the empire of Cannaris. Although it was not in the capital, one of the most important coastal cities was attacked.

The abysmal that arrived at that place spared no strength to destroy everything he could. He destroyed several buildings and was preparing to carry out a large-scale attack, but at that moment he was caught up by his pursuers and the demigod-level battle began.

The first thing the pursuing experts did was take the abysmal out of the city. They did not want to cause more damage so they held him tightly and threw him miles away over the sea.

The abysmal was furious at this, as he had reached the city and wanted to destroy it, but was prevented from doing so. A terrifying black aura came out of the abysmal's body and his red eyes grew a little and his claws became sharper.

His opponents were also not inactive and decisively unleashed their power. The inhabitants of the city were surprised because the clash of the 3 powers seemed to want to destroy the sky.

The color of the clouds changed. The sea was violent, like when a storm was approaching and it was true that a storm was approaching. Within seconds, the abysmal and his two opponents collided.

Fists and kicks were flying everywhere. Their speeds were so fast that it was impossible to see them with the naked eye. The impacts of their blows were like thunder in a hurricane and the sea rose as if were possessed.

Everyone was scared, as the intense battle was more than they could handle, but everyone prayed that the two experts who were fighting could defeat the abysmal one or it would be the end for them.

Unexpectedly, things were not going as expected. In reality, it was the abysmal who had the advantage. Abysmals are physically more powerful than humans and this is reflected in any of the levels of strength, including the demigod level.

For this reason, the abysmal was not only able to fight on par with his two opponents but was even winning the battle. The two human demigods were surprised at how powerful the abysmal was, but they hadn't suffered serious injuries yet, so they weren't that worried.

On the other hand, the abysmal was happy, because he could sense that his opponents were weak. In fact, he believed that of all the pursuers they had, he got the weakest, and that made him happy.

His joy was obvious because he knew that at the moment he finished with them, he could cause all the chaos he wanted. The battle continued, but little by little the differences in power were showing and the human experts received more and more injuries.

The abysmal laughed maniacally as he attacked. His blows seemed strange and uncoordinated, but they were lethal. At this point, the human demigods were no longer trying to defeat the abysmal, but rather to stay alive.

Now they could only defend themselves from the abysmal's attacks. Their clothes were stained with blood and their bodies were full of wounds. One of them had even lost one of his eyes in battle.

"Stupid humans, did you really think you could defeat me?" the abysmal said contemptuously, but before his opponents could say anything an ethereal voice was heard, "Little animal, why are you so arrogant when you are so weak?".

This voice surprised everyone because they couldn't sense where it was coming from. Even the abysmal was scared because he felt that he was on the edge of a precipice and when he was about to flee a crack appeared in front of him.

It was as if the sky had broken and a hand or rather a claw emerged from the crack. It was an arm covered in bright red scales. His fingers were sharper claws than the abysmal's and without warning he pierced the abysmal's chest.

None of those present could react. Not even the abysmal could react. He only realized he had been hit because he saw the scaly arm pass through his chest.

"The arrogant die quickly," said the ethereal voice again. Although everyone knew that the owner of this scaly arm was the owner of that voice, they still did not seem to come out from his position.

The abysmal couldn't say anything when his body imploded as if a bomb had been planted inside him. When the abysmal's body completely disappeared, the crack in the sky had disappeared and only the two human demigods were left there.

They were dumbfounded, not knowing what had happened. They both looked at each other, but they could see in each other's faces that they didn't know what had happened. Still, they both bowed and said loudly, "We thank the savior. If he has any commands for these little ones, we listen to him."
