Guild Wars

The faces of many changed at this sight.
Devin seemed to have tapped even deeper into his nefarious power as a response to his plight.
Either that or Baphomet was truly infuriated by the wave of holy power and had decided to bestow more upon his apostle. 

After all, it was obvious enough that the Saint Princess had to represent another God to have such power, probably an apostle of a light or sine justice god.
She was different from Hikari who was a Saintess without a deity backing her, because of her talent. 

Speaking of that, while Devin amassed his forces of evil, it seemed like the God behind the Saint Princess had no desire to be shown up.
As such, a bright light emerged from the body of the woman and swept over the battlefield, condensing on the bodies of each rebel and warrior on their side. 

This shocked everyone, as they lifted their hands to see a thin veil of white light covering their bodies.
They felt healthier and slightly stronger, which boosted their confidence. 

”Everyone, the Great God of Resurrection, Sino D ’Mara, has blessed us with his divine providence! For the next hour, your attacks against demons will inflict twice the damage and you will rapidly heal from all wounds.
On top of that, death will no longer stop you, as you will be able to rise endlessly regardless of what happens to you! ” The Saint Princess Aliza spoke out with a gentle cry. 

This made the blood of everyone on the side of good here boil, as they knew that the God of Resurrection was the strongest God of the Light pantheon.
To have his blessing would forever be the greatest honor of their lives, and they would be sure to fight direly on his behalf. 

Draco and co also received this blessing, though Draco casually negated it using some Destruction Energy while Eva waved her hands lightly, dissipating it.
Zaine and Roma decided to accept it, cuz why not, and Hikari was exempted because she was the Saintess of another deity (herself). 

It wasn ’t that Draco and Eva were not willing to receive a free buff, but rather that they didn ’t need it.
Instead, Hikari cast White Light Blessing once more, which was now at full power since they had reached level 100 in each class after their slaughter on the previous floor. 

And just as Draco had expected, at least for this series it was the level cap.

With their classes leveled to perfection and their stats at their pinnacle, they could opt to use their strength that the floor gave or their real strength… or even a mix of both really. 

Suddenly, the demons stopped rising from the floor as Devin ’s roaring laughter came to an end.
Before the group stood over 200 soldiers that had been coated in darkness, turning them into Death Warriors, 1,000 Demons, and one Dread Lord which was Devin himself. 

The Death Warriors were all coated with intense amounts of Darkness Energy, their eyes only showing as red light from those visages.
Just like Devin, they manifested weapons they were familiar with using the aura flowing around them. 

The Demons were of different kinds, roaring a screeching as they gazed upon the living, eager to rush in a cause pain, torment, and suffering to their foes or anything they could get their hands on really. 

Devin had become a 9-foot-tall monstrosity that was coated in a black carapace.
He was shaped like a humanoid, with a muscular and well-built body as well as two wings behind his back, with burning green eyes the only other feature on his void-like face. 

(Author ’s Note: He looks like Terrorblade ’s Demon/Metamorphosis form from Dota 1.) 

The power, heat, and evil they radiated was enough to scare anyone, but the forces of Justice that had been buffed by the White Dragoness Hikari as well as the God of Resurrection, Sino D ’Mara showed no fear. 

The two Princesses were especially shocked upon being buffed with her White Light Blessing.
As the two protagonists of this floor, their power was not a simple as being level 100. 

To have been further buffed by four times was enough to greatly mitigate the threat from Devin.
When the Princesses gazed over to see who was the cause, their faces became red. 

After all, they had met eye to eye with Draco first, which had been a fatal mistake.
He had certainly been retracting his attraction aura, but focusing on him too much would lead to bad effects.
Just like Zaine was retracting her seduction aura, that alone didn ’t make her Z-grade booty disappear. 

Then they took in the sight of Eva, Roma, Zaine, and Hikari with shock.
Such beautiful women! 

How could they be here among these rebels? They also gave off a certain power that made the Princesses tremble, as if they could be executed in the blink of an eye. 

The only ones that gave them this feeling were the… 

Suddenly, the faces of the two Princesses changed greatly.
Before they could make any other action, Draco waved his hand and transferred a message to their minds using Telepathy. 

”We ’re just here to watch and provide support.
Carry on. ” 

Understanding Draco ’s meaning, the two Princesses bowed deeply towards his direction and focused on Devin.
Since they had the support of the Ordelia ’s Family Patron God as well as these strange Gods, there was no way they could lose. 

At this time, Draco noticed that the floor ’s menu had finally popped up.

”CHARGE! ” Jenna screamed, pointing her sword towards the enemy while her side burst forth with valor, roaring as they rushed to killed the vile demonspawn. 

”KILL, TORTURE, RAPE, SLAUGHTER! ” Devin roared the four cardinal virtues of the demons, making their mind go crazy with excitement.
They also shrieked as they rushed towards the mortals of the light, aiming to tear their enemies to shreds. 

The two sides met in a brutal clash in the middle, hundreds of lives being snuffed out in a single moment.
However, the demons simply regenerated from their wound with ease while the warriors rose up in a white glow, similarly unharmed. 

What should have been a valiant battle for supremacy became a meat grinder of epic proportions, the sight so horrifying that the faces of the Morningstar Group changed. 

Warriors would cleave demons in twain, then the bodies would spontaneously light up with hellfire and them rise up, hale and hearty. 

However, the innards and organs that had been expelled during the cleave would be left on the ground as a memento of the near-death experience.
The same happened when a demon ripped a man into two. 

His heart and other parts splattered around, his blood spurting like a fountain.
However, with a white glow that forced the demons back, his body was re-merged and he stood with, perfectly normal and ready to go once more. 

However, the blood splatter, and his old heart would be left on the ground, marking that he had once died here in truth.
As this kept repeating itself, with various arms, legs, and eyeballs being left behind with each healing, the battlefield soon became a bloody marsh with body parts that had been stomped and steeped on until they became a form of reddish-brown paste. 

The sight and the smell did not bother those who were fighting, too lost in their madness bout that they only saw red as they continued fighting while laughing, whether demon or human. 

The ability to resurrect from death was great, but it came at a cost to the mind when repeated over and over again in a short period of time. 

On the other side, the two Princesses were battling against Devin himself in an epic and climactic battle.
Jenna was wielding her two shortswords, directly dueling Devin who had manifested two long khopeshes that he used to fight back. 

Jenna was like a cyclone, spinning and jumping all over the place as she stuck endlessly towards Devin who easily countered her.
Even with Hikari ’s boost, the Dread Lord was not fazed in the least. 

Aliza assisted her sister from the back by casting further buffs on Jenna and debuffs on Devin, as well as healing Jenna due to the strength difference between the two. 

However, anyone could see that the two Princess alone could not defeat this foe, which was likely where the trial taker was supposed to step in. 

Being elevated to level 100, given access to their class skills, spells, racial abilities, various titles, and their own equipment, they had no excuse to be cowering as they had been forced to on the previous floors. 

Understanding this, Draco laughed.
”Well, my babes, it ’s finally time for me to show off.
Witness me! ” 

Draco jumped off the horse that had been active since the eighth floor, landing on the ground with a small smile on his face.
Eva, Hikari, Zaine, and Roma watched Draco silently, their eyes flashing with a strange glint. 

Draco dropped the swords he had been given on the first floor, the Yin-Yang Blades, and a dark fire began to burn on his body.
His swordsman leather garb was burned to crisp, but Draco ’s nakedness was covered with the black light. 

From it, a set of medium armor appeared, scaly like the body of a dragon and with a lion ’s head carving in the center.
Behind him was a long black cape that had followed him since he had first met Richmond and received the Titled God ’s Heraldry. 

As Draco walked forward, the burning light left his body as his Dragorugio set came to life, the subtle sound of a Dragon ’s Roar covering the battlefield.
The burning black light converged into either one of his palms. 

In the right hand, a black scaly sword manifested, its body glowing with Destruction Energy.
On its blade was the carving on an Asian dragon that had a long body and four scales, while its hilt was shaped like a Dragon ’s head.
The eyes of the Dragon on the head glowed with a bright red light, as if it was alive and could see everything. 

In his left, a majestic sword glowed with resplendent light, possessing the length of a typical longsword as well as double-edge with a unique rivet running up and down its center.
However, the blade itself shone with a blueish-green color and resembled a piece of crystal rather than metal.
Within this crystal-like blade swam many beautiful sea nymphs who played and posed sexily. 

Not only that, but there were tiny sea monsters within that same space that looked ready to rip and tear anything in their way.
The hilt of the blade was a beautiful azure color, with the motif of tumultuous waves crashing against the shore on each side while grip was styled like the scales of a mermaid, and the pommel held a small cyan orb that sparkled gently. 

Dragorugio the sword and Fragarach had come to him.
Wielding both of the two overpowered blades in either hand and flourishing them, Draco smiled.
His appearance attracted the attention of some demons who roared and charged at him. 

With a smile, Draco decided to fight using only the skills that were given by this tower.
The demon that attacked him first swung its claw towards his head, aiming to smash his brain into pulp. 

And so, Draco used his first skill: Quick Slash. 

Before any eye could follow, a black streak cut through the body of the demon while it was still in motion, severing it in half.
Unlike before where it would rise again, its form was slowly consumed by a blackish light that fought against and devoured another black miasma. 

The others didn ’t seem to notice this with how far they had fallen into madness.
The next one came rushing at Draco, yet he simply raised Fragarach up into the air and charged his power before bringing it down. 

Heavy Slash! 

The demon was cut from head to groin in one attack, its body not coated by any Destruction Energy but its resurrection was destroyed by Fragarach ’s first passive. 

The next foe was a larger demon with a burly form, its muscular body towering over Draco.
It raised a club to smash him into pieces, but Draco used this third class skill, Dual Edge. 

Both his swords combined into one blade that was coated with Darkness, Destruction, Wind, and Water Energy as it grew in size, cutting the demon before Draco into pieces and leaving nothing behind. 

Having absolute fun, Draco responded to a two-pronged attack from the front and back.
Cross Slash, Reverse Slash! 

To the enemy in the front, he swung both swords in an ’X ’ shape, cutting them neatly into four pieces.
To the enemy from the back, Draco swung both swords backward in a bone-breaking motion that should not be possible, but was executed perfectly. 

This time, a Demon Warrior rushed at Draco from behind, aiming to strike the nape of his neck with a dagger.
The fellow was an assassin and had been waiting for this chance to strike! 

Draco smirked. 

Back Slash! 

Draco flipped backward, going over the body of his assassin and bisecting him easily when he slashed downward as his feet touched the ground.
He then kicked the corpse away, and continued walking towards Devin who was oppressing the two sisters. 

”Did you think you could best me? Bwahahaha, you fools! I am the strongest in the universe! ” Devin bellowed with glee as he blasted Jenna away. 

A powerful demon noticed Draco approaching their lord and rushed at him, swinging a huge greatsword at him.
This one was garbed in equipment, and had a light of wisdom in his eyes that was different to those Draco fought until now. 

However, it made little difference. 

Air Slash! 

Draco stood where he was and swung his sword lightly, but a wave of sword light emerged from the edge that was coated with Destruction Energy.
It simply passed through the torso of the demon in question, stopping its charge as its top slid off its bottom. 

With that obstacle clearing, Draco was free to make a beeline for Devin who was about to stomp on a beaten Jenna who could only struggle to rise again defiantly.
As for Aliza, Devin was holding her in one hand, as the Saint Princess was struggling not to be crushed to death. 

Before the two Princesses could be killed, a huge wave of heat rushed over towards Devin, making him toss them away as he jumped into to air to avoid it.
It exploded beneath him and made the Dread Lord sweat, but he then laughed mockingly. 

”Trash! You missed me… What?! ” He screamed as Draco appeared above him, his sword coming down upon the Dread Lord faster than he could react.
