Omega Summoner
chapter-456

The magic formation managed to agitate the dark god, but it also managed to stop its channeling. The dark swirling clouds in the center of the imperial capital became calm. The dark god wants to move from his position, but he cannot.

The barrier not only limited the dark god's sphere of influence on the imperial capital but also limited the spread of its domain. A dark god or any god would almost be impossible to beat inside its own domain. This is the reason why the dark god, Nyarlathotep, is not moving from its castle throne.

Despite treating others as ants, the dark god knew that the demigods surrounding him are waiting for their chance. The chance that they are waiting for is the dark god to move away from its domain. The moment the dark god even moves at least an inch away then they could damage it greatly.

The dark god might be limited in his movement, but it could still sense the numerous demigod existences outside of the imperial capital. These demigods are eyeing its god core which could help them elevate their status to a god. This is why the dark god has not moved despite the magical formation cut of its channeling.

"Useless resistance for mere ants. This magical formation will not hold forever. I just need to wait for them to enter my domain." The dark god thought as it could see the army getting close to it.

The faceless monsters became weakened due to the effects of the magical formation. The defense of the allied army became much easier due to this. The priest also started to use attack skills to damage the evil affiliated monsters.

The allied army's moral started to skyrocket due to the small victory that they have achieved. The magical formation did not boost the stats of the allied army as it could only affect dark gods and their spawns.

"Pope Pristina, how long will the magical formation last?" The Pope of the Church of War asked.

"It should last a day, Pope Mars. Still, we need to keep vigilance. This is a dark god after all. A lot of our ancestors have perished due to their cruelty." Pope Pristina stated as she started to buff every ally.

The Church of the God of War has a custom where the pope will change their name to Mars upon being chosen for the position. The position for the pope of the Church of War is not a term basis but strength basis position. Any high priest could challenge the pope of the Church of War in bloody combat every year.

"Ascended Warriors of the Church of War! Unleash the might of the Gods of War upon the battlefield. May the blood of our vile enemies be the song we sing to our gods!" Pope Mars shouted with great enthusiasm.

The Church of War is basically a congregation of different followers of the Gods of War. They worship through war and honorable duels. They believe that death from war is the most honorable way to greet the Gods of War in Elysium.

With the warriors of the Church of War raising the moral even further, the other people started to get pumped up as well. This effect proliferated through the whole army which made everyone high on adrenaline. The players became fearless as well since they are the ones that are the majority.

The bloodbath ensued as the numerous faceless monsters started to get assaulted by the numerous players. The dark god saw this and decided to prevent the army getting close to it. The dark god knew that the demigods might start to join the battle if the numerous ants come close to it.

"I shall use their souls as my nourishment!" The dark god stated in an alien language that the allied army did not understand. All that the allied army could hear is a screeching growl of a dark god.

The tar like substance below the dark god's feet started to spawn other types of faceless monsters. The faceless monsters that are currently fighting with the allied army only consists of those that can walk on land. The dark god started to spawn flying faceless monsters with wings that looked like a wyvern without facial features and is naked.

"Bring me their souls my minions! They will be the source of my power." The dark god commanded.

The numerous faceless flying monsters started to take flight. Their targets are none other than the allied army. Seeing that flying monsters started to spawn, the races that could fly or utilize flying magitech machines started to fly as well.

The aerial battle has started but it is in favor of the faceless flying monsters. The faceless land monsters could be easily dealt with because they could be ganged up upon, but the flying monsters are different. There are only a handful of players or soldiers that could fly.

It did not take long for some of the players to finally become the sacrifices. The flying monsters would swoop in and take the members of the allied army. The faceless flying monsters did not swoop in and kill them but brought them to the tar pit where the dark god stands. The faceless flying monsters would then drop them in the tar pit.

The members of the allied army who saw this could only pray that they will not be the one to be picked up next. The endless onslaught of the faceless flying monsters became the weakness of the vanguard allied army as they did not prepare for aerial assault because the only monsters that they scouted were land based ones.

After every individual offered to the tar pit, the tar pit would ooze and bubble up. The ooze then slowly traveled towards the dark god. Nyarlathotep suddenly started accumulating power and the generals of each army could feel the intensity of this attack.

"Priests! Deploy your holy shields and barriers!" The popes of each church shouted as they knew that the attack will more likely kill all of them if not blocked.

When about 20% of the entire army has been offered up to the tar pit, the attack that the dark god built up finally reached critical.

"Wave of Corruption!" The dark god, Nyarlathotep, shouted but it only sounded like a screeching roar to the allied army.

A wave of corrupted energy is then released from then dark god. The corrupted energy did not differentiate between friend or foe as it decimated even the faceless monsters. The shields of the priests could not protect the others as much because it is shared with all the other individuals.

The allied army forces that are battling in the front lines could not protect themselves and immediately became ashes upon being hit by the wave of corrupted energy. Out of the twenty thousand strong army, only one thousand injured forces remained.
