The Ingredients Have All Run Away?
Angels are spirits that serve the light.
Most of these low- to mid-level beings do not possess a fixed form, appearance, or gender. To put it bluntly, they are merely tools and servants serving God.
Before Samael stood humanoid creatures bathed in divine light by Ifrit, the fire spirit from the magic lamp. They possessed countless luminous wings, wore full-body armor, wielded weapons, and were powered by fire and ether. They resembled the angels in Samael's memory.
Flame is light...
The ancient serpent recalled the Zoroastrianism definition and their worship of fire and light, and understood.
However, even if the Persians summoned angels, they still couldn't gain much of an advantage.
Because the Pan-Hellenic Alliance's Valkyrie Legion had already spread its swan wings, taken to the air, and was fighting against these so-called angels.
The sounds of weapons clashing and explosions of light and fire filled the air, one after another. With their limited numbers, the Valkyrie found it difficult to break through, and the advance in the aerial battlefield reached a stalemate.
"Open the hatch, release the Lamia mass production unit, and break free from the beast tide!"
But then, Odysseus launched swarms of giant snake women into the sea behind him, using weapons mass-produced from the Echidna Armory to intercept the maddened sea monsters that were chasing him, and also assembled Deep Sea Fleet.
At that moment, the black hulls of the ships emitted a piercing metallic scraping sound, cracking open with gaps, revealing menacing gun barrels that lit up as they charged.
Meanwhile, squads of Atlantis soldiers, Olympus guards, Area Annihilation Weapon, and humanoid self-defense weapons, which were in standby mode, were awakened, either boarding the decks to become weapons or igniting their engines to take off, ready to go.
"All troops—charge! Attack!"
Piloting the large, silver-white mechanized Odysseus, a swarm of advanced mechanized troops, they launched an attack.
In an instant, the scorching burning etheric Aether Factor tore through the sea fog, forming thousands of dark red light streams, like the scythe of God of Death, tearing the unsuspecting Persian warships to shreds like paper.
Furthermore, the underwater ship-drilling towed the snake-woman Ramia and the aerial launch of Magic Beam Area Annihilation Weapon made it difficult for the Persians to cope. When they encountered the annihilating warships, one after another, the annihilating warships exploded.
Even though the enemy desperately closed the distance, attempting to engage in ramming and close combat, the ferocious Greek infantry, the berserkers who went mad after their rampage, and the heavily armed Atlantean soldiers and Olympus guards inflicted heavy casualties on the Persians, who had only a numerical advantage.
Furthermore, as time went on, the Persians were unable to maintain their numerical advantage and fell into a complete disadvantage.
If it weren't for the Leviathan serpent and the maddened sea monster, which would relentlessly pursue them, the Pan-Hellenic Alliance would need to divert some of its attention and military strength, and the Persian Fleet would disintegrate even faster.
Samael stood before the sand table, recreating the jagged battlefield in real time according to the changing situation, and acting as a lubricant to coordinate the overall operation of the three parties.
According to his estimation, it wouldn't be long before they could break through the Persian Fleet's defenses and land near Hot Spring Pass.
Suddenly, the Argo shook violently, knocking over several chess pieces on the sand table.
The Magic Barrier was broken? That shouldn't be the case!
Samael felt a strong tremor beneath his feet, his expression hardened, and he immediately rushed out of the command room to check the situation.
But looking around, the Argo was completely undamaged. In fact, under the protection of these powerful Divine Blood Hero, not only the Persians but even the angels above instinctively avoided this mobile fortress.
Boom...
Then, another violent shaking struck, and the ship pitched from side to side.
But this time, Samael saw the true epicenter.
On land!
Something is moving on land, causing the sea surface to tremble!
The ancient serpent's eyes, with their Cross Star Pupils opening and closing, pierced through layers of sea mist, gazing into the distance.
Rumble!
As if to verify Samael's thoughts, a deafening roar erupted, and hundreds of meters of earth surged high, forming a cloud of dust that blotted out the sky.
And in that blurred vision that stretched to the extreme, the ancient serpent could vaguely see several majestic mountain peaks slowly moving!
No! It's not a mountain peak!
Upon confirming the diagnosis, Samael's pupils contracted sharply, and he couldn't help but gasp.
It is a giant beast with a body covered in rocks and trees, and a length of over a kilometer!
Those creatures had thick manes, heads like hippos and gorillas, and extended a pair of huge tusks. Although their appearance was similar to a Persian mammoth war elephant enlarged hundreds of times, their forelimbs were a pair of sharp claws, and they seemed to have the ability to walk upright for a short period of time.
Wherever it passed, mountains shattered, the earth cracked open with ravines, and rivers were forcibly cut off.
Samael stared at the towering, mountain-like figures and dryly uttered his answer.
Behemoth, the King of the Land!
Legend has it that God created Behemoth and Leviathan from clay on the sixth day of creation.
Leviathan is the ruler of the sea, while Behemoth in Hebrew Script means "herd of beasts," referring to its enormous size, which can only be compared to that of a herd of beasts.
In addition, it has another name, which is famous in the history of gods and monsters: Behemoth.
Due to a later misinterpretation, it was also called "Bahamut" by Arabs!
In the Bible, which contains multiple mythological systems, the Deep Sea Giant Serpent Leviathan and the Behemoth the War Beast are the kings of land and sea, respectively, among the beasts.
Wait a minute! Behemoth's attack direction isn't on the sea?
Hot Spring Pass!
The Persians wanted to launch a full-scale attack on Hot Spring Pass before the dust settled from the naval battle!
Samael was startled, his pupils contracted sharply, and he immediately realized the enemy's plan.
"Jason, Odysseus, the naval battle is yours to handle. Hot Spring Pass siege, I'm going ahead!"
As the earth shook and the mountains trembled, the rumbling sound came like a drumbeat. The ancient snake's face hardened, and he made a decisive decision.
In an instant, he summoned the Sagittarius Sacred Garments Cloth Saint King, took a powerful step, and amidst the ethereal explosions and the ship's hull shaking, soared into the sky, sweeping across the sea at lightning speed, heading straight for the Hot Spring Pass defense line.
However, since the route to Hot Spring Pass required passing directly through the Persian Fleet, the nearby fire spirit Ifrit and her angels surrounded and blocked the intruder.
"Chirp! Chirp!"
Not only that.
Just then, a fierce hurricane rose from the sea, and a giant, dark red bird with wings that blotted out the sky took flight from the land with a screeching cry, carrying with it a raging ethereal current, and swept toward the fleet.
Sky King, Giant Bird Ziz!
If I remember correctly, according to the Book of Job, these three giants will descend upon the world at the end of the world, engage in a battle, and become food for the holy ones.
Hurry up, all these monstrous creatures that foreshadow the end of the world have come out!
Samael showed no intention of pausing to deal with the attack, increasing his speed to the maximum and charging straight ahead.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
At the same time, sharp, piercing sounds echoed through the air, and hundreds of angels along the way were pierced through the core of their hearts, their bodies shattered amidst the explosions of ether.
Following closely behind, Orion, Atalanta, and Heracles drew their bows and arrows, and after clearing away the nearby angels, each targeted one of the swooping monsters and began hunting them down, clearing obstacles for their comrades, their King.
