Omega Summoner
chapter-988

The uneasiness of the three kingdoms to attack made them delay the actual start of war. They delayed it for two weeks in hopes that they could actually avoid it but the pressure that the Church of Light is weighing down on them. The kings of each kingdom are also said to be guarded by angels but in truth they are threatened with actual angels beside them.

It is also not helping them that some of the nobles in their kingdoms are greedy. They were much easily coerced by the angels when they said that they need to attack Avalon because the demons are planning on raining chaos. The nobles that are in the side of reason wanted to argue but the presence of the angels is dangerous even to them as they have been made aware.

One of them openly protested and had their arm cut off because 'divine retribution'. The angels are beings that do not want to be talked backed upon. The nobles knew that they have been transformed into pawns by these beautiful but devious beings. They are also threatened that if their presence has been announced to the world then they would kill off the royal families and nobles.

The kings and nobles are left to submit and basically send their people to their deaths. If the stories about demons were not just stories, then they will definitely die. Even if they do have legendary tier swordsmen in their army as their generals, against beings of pure power is a death sentence.

Just as the kings of each kingdom are dreading the fact that the time for war is upon them, they suddenly heard disturbing rumors sprouting in their territories. The three kingdoms are connected via land and in their intersection is a story that a devil has been summoned in their land. The devil is said to still be weak as it is still getting accustomed to the real world.

The people are terrorized with ominous signs as they always felt in danger when at night. Even the village guards around the forest stay in their homes praying that they will not get attacked. The signs of devils according to those preached by the Church of Light is also present in the area.

The increasing temperature even at night as the villagers feel that it is a blazing inferno. The winds howling every night in an eerie voice and a chill running down their spine whenever it touches their body. The most disturbing thing that they found are carcasses of death monsters inside a summoning magic circle drawn with blood.

These events made the villages in the intersection of the kingdoms migrate temporarily to the inner villages. They do not want to become sacrifices for other devil summoning as it has been preached to them that human blood is the best catalyst for summoning the devils.

The Church of Light could not outright say that the doctrine that they are spreading regarding devils are false since most of it are. The doctrine that talks about the evilness of the devils are only half true as they are painted as the literal symbolism of evil. It is also preached that the Church of Light would always quell this evil when the signs have arisen which put them at a dilemma.

The angels are now thinking on what they should do as the things stated in the doctrine are not true. They know that devils do not really need sacrifices or such for them to be summoned as they only needed to punch a hole from their dimension to this one in order to come. The angels knew that someone is actually mocking them for using the doctrine against them.

At first, the angels dispatched priests and paladins that are adequately leveled but they all came back extremely bruised. They recounted that they were indeed attacked but it was a hell beast instead of an actual devil. They were not attacked immediately as they hell beast only showed up on the third day that they were searching.

The hell beast was too much for the amateur paladins and priests as they are not trained to fight them. A special division of the Church of Light is dedicated in dealing with devil related matters which means not all are able to fight against anything related to devils. With the appearance of the hell beast, the angels now know the threat that it poses but they are glad that it is only moving in that location.

The angels disguised as high rank clergymen of the Church of Light only told the people to not go in that area as it is currently dangerous. What the angels did not understand is that the hell beast is said to be the one creating magic circles to summon devils, but they are not intelligent enough for that.

Just as the angels thought that leaving the problem alone for the time being is the best solution, a wave of infernal energy suddenly erupted from the intersection of the three kingdoms. All the people on the kingdom felt this energy and something inside of them got triggered. It felt as if their inner inhibitions somewhat lessened.

The angels immediately knew of this as this is usually a by product of a devil summoning ritual. The angels are incredibly angered as it would seem someone is actually spitting on their face. The fact that someone summoned a devil in an area where they are clearly staying is a direct slap on their pride. It is as if the devil summoner told them that they are weak.

The proud and mighty angels grew with rage as all three of them immediately headed out to kill this insolent devil that dared to show up. They were told to never leave their post until the march against the territory controlled by a demon started but they could not take the insult they received. The angels turned into streaks of bright light in the sky as someone hidden in the shadows smiled.
