The stalemate on the battlefield continued.
With the arrival of the Golem Legion, however, the Blackguards came under much greater pressure. They abandoned their attacks and instead dug in around the Throne of Fear.
Ugly Monkey still had not given the order for an all-out assault. The golems formed a defensive line in front of the Heroic Spirit Legion, seemingly waiting for the Demon Legion to arrive—or perhaps for something else. Every so often, he looked up at the sky and silently counted the time, as though considering the right moment to attack.
Time ticked by.
The Balor appeared in the distance, but not along the Heroic Spirit Legion's route. Instead, he was on the other side of the Throne of Fear.
Demons were extremely difficult to control, and coordinated combat was almost impossible for them. Attacking from the same direction might lead them to fight among themselves. The Balor Lord, Soran, was attacking the flank. By now, most of the low-tier demons had died, and almost all the survivors had advanced into mid-tier demons. Some high-tier demons had even plundered the power of divinity from the Dread Master.
"It's almost time!"
As though sensing something, Ugly Monkey raised his head and looked toward the sky.
Suddenly—
The sky above the entire battlefield changed dramatically. Powerful fluctuations of divine power followed, and a rift suddenly tore open overhead within the Fear God's Realm.
Soren's divine power enveloped the entire battlefield. He broke through the space of the God's Realm, then guided a terrifying spell into this world. It was an enormous meteor, roughly a kilometer in diameter. Upon entering the Fear God's Realm, it immediately became a gigantic ball of fire. The terrifying meteor plunged at tremendous speed, heading straight for the enemies beneath the Throne of Fear.
—"Meteor Swarm!"
