[Chalice of Hygieia]: The wielder has one chance each day to restore themselves to perfect condition, including HP and MP values restored to 100%, and the number of times all special skills (including Super-Tier magic) can be used is reset to their full count.
"What a good thing!" After Kael learned the information about the World Item Demiurge had through [Appraise Item], his eyes sparkled with delight. With this [Chalice of Hygieia], he would be able to use the combination of [Divine Bonds] and [Transform into God of Salvation at this moment] twice when fighting enemies in the future. How cool!
While feeling pleased, Kael turned his gaze to Sebas Tian, who had transformed into a dragonoid, "I wonder what kind of World Item this old man at the door has?"
Just as he was about to attack Sebas Tian, a strange feeling crept over him, causing him to frown. The summoned creatures were killed and their followers died. Why was this happening?
In the midst of his doubts, continuous explosions sounded within the city, the earth shook violently, and human wails and screams were endless. Kael subconsciously turned his head back and found that the central area of the city was engulfed in flames, and burning black smoke was clearly visible even at night.
The Undead plague had been quelled long ago, so it was impossible for it to cause such unrest. There seemed to be only one possibility. A hint of displeasure flashed in Kael's eyes.
At this moment, several blazing meteorites suddenly appeared in the sky, roaring towards him and the high-tier angels besieging Sebas Tian. It was Tenth Tier magic, [Meteor Fall].
"Hmph, you're just asking for death!" The shadow of the goddess appeared behind Kael, and an energy barrier rapidly enveloped his entire body. The falling meteorites struck the barrier but could not cause any damage to him.
Roar!
A gigantic demon appeared behind Kael. Its mouth was fanged, its body covered in scales, its massive claws gleamed with a sharp light, and its entire body was enveloped in a layer of fiery aura—a terrifying figure exuding power. He was Wrath, level 84, a pure warrior monster with incredible HP attributes, one of Demiurge's direct subordinates.
Not only that, a plump female human-bodied but raven-headed demon (Envy), and an armored humanoid male demon wielding a scythe (Greed) also appeared on the battlefield. Envy and Greed were around level 80 and were also Demiurge's direct subordinates. Together with Wrath, they were collectively known as the Three Demon Generals or Seven Deadly Sins Demons.
[Meteor Fall] had just been unleashed by Wrath. Although they were warrior units, dragons, demons, and angels were all high-tier monsters and were naturally capable of using some magic. For Wrath, the [Meteor Fall] magic skill was more like his special skill, not a 'regular skill' learned by ordinary Magic Casters from a magic list after leveling up.
Wrath raised its sharp claws and slapped Kael's head with all its might. Suddenly, golden chains emerged from beneath his feet like snakes, instantly binding his entire body.
[Advanced Magic Immunity Breakthrough: Holy Judgment Cross]!
The energy cross pulled Wrath backward, and holy flames then ignited and began to burn fiercely. Wrath had a special ability to be immune to fire damage, but Kael used magic to enhance resistance penetration so that the fire of [Holy Judgment Cross] could also injure it.
And it wasn't over. With the aid of the short-term control effect of [Holy Judgment Cross], Kael used [Holy Lance Piercer] and [God-Shattering Fist] in succession to smash the enraged demon to the ground.
On the other side, Envy and Greed helped Sebas Tian block some high-tier angels. Then a rain of arrows and several gigantic vines hindered the high-tier angels' actions, giving Sebas Tian a window.
Sebas Tian seized this opportunity to immediately leave the combat circle and vanished into the night. Since the battlefield was blockaded for teleportation, Kael was desperately halted by Wrath emerging from the ground, so he could only watch Sebas Tian escape, a minor defeat that infuriated him.
Kael, filled with fury, immediately activated the effect of the newly acquired [Chalice of Hygieia]. After restoring himself to perfect condition, he used [Divine Bonds] to bind the enraged demon, then blasted the bastard to ashes with a magic bomb.
Envy and Greed were soon overwhelmed in the northwest by the encirclement of many high-tier angels, unable to withstand the wave of attacks.
"That attack just now... it was Aura and Mare, wasn't it?"
"Hmph, they merely protected Sebas Tian's escape route and didn't attack me. Plus the chaos in the city, and you can imagine their goal," Kael replied, his tone cold and calculating.
Momonga realized that all Nazarick members should have escaped by now, Kael asked the War High Priest to lift the teleportation blockade on the battlefield. Then, he used [Divine Power of the God of Destiny] to sense Enri Emmott's location and activated [Greater Teleportation] magic to leave the cemetery.
On the main street of E-Rantel, under the protection of the legendary knight Gazef Stronoff, Enri Emmott continuously killed demons invading the city, and from time to time she cast group reinforcements and healing on the surrounding adventurers. The temporary army managed to gain a foothold, albeit with great difficulty.
However, there were many high-tier monsters, especially the Eight-Arm Blade Lord who had reached level 49, which were extremely dangerous for the temporary army. Each time more than three appeared, Gazef's assistance was needed to avoid heavy casualties. Therefore, Gazef could not leave at all and had to remain by Enri's side as a firefighter, ready to assist at any moment.
With a flash of light, Kael appeared before Enri. Initially, Enri was startled, but then she was filled with great joy, relieved to see the arrival of her savior.
"Oh my God! I'm glad you're safe!"
Kael casually unleashed two attack spells, instantly destroying the monsters invading from both sides of the street, granting the temporary army a moment to breathe. Then, he asked Enri about the situation, "Enri, what happened?"
Enri immediately replied, "God, just now, two groups of monsters attacked the city from the north gate and the west gate. Members of the Black Scripture from The Slane Theocracy and Captain Warrior Stronoff have gone to defend the north gate. President Ainzach of the Adventurer's Guild has entrusted me with guarding the main road leading into the city from the west gate. The adventurers and other Magic Caster's Guild members have to eliminate the monsters inside the city."
"Eh," Kael nodded to indicate he understood. Nazarick even sent the Eight-Arm Blade Lord. This was clearly not a casual siege. With E-Rantel's current defensive power alone, it would be difficult to quell this unrest.
Fortunately, he had summoned many high-tier angels. These mercenary summons could exist permanently, and their levels were high enough, so it was no problem to clear out the monsters causing trouble in the city.
Kael then used [Message] magic to contact the War High Priest and asked him to command the high-tier angels to eliminate the monsters in the city.
Ten minutes later, the humans fighting a bloody battle in the city were shocked to find a swarm of holy angels appearing beside them like desperate saviors, then slaughtering all the monsters with an utterly devastating attitude, clearing the streets with divine light.
