A burnt smell hung in the air as from the back, Chris and many others swallowed heavily!
Achilles looked at even a shocked Major Inu as he stepped towards the lower floors below.
He pulled them out of their reverie as they continued down.
At this moment, Achilles had more of a grasp of his power as he was more confident in what he could do.
And the stench of blood as well as the Goat Transformed Advanced Humans…
"Ethereal Master Axano called himself an Apostle, right?"
His voice was sharp as it was heard by Major Inu and others around him.
Major Inu nodded heavily as he spoke out.
"Advanced Humans tainted by something they took out of the Catacombs! We suspected it with beings like Solomon, but we did not know it was this bad. They call themselves Apostles, so we shall designate them as such!"
Apostles of the Ancient Satyr, Julbocken!
Achilles nodded coldly at this as, in the next moment, the floor they were on caved in and began to crumble.
Even the ceiling and remaining floor above them did the same as it seemed like a heavy impact spread out across the skyscraper of Titan Industries, this whole structure shaking!
Achilles and Rose simply floated in the air as a transparent barrier kept everything away from them, other Meridian Transformation Advanced Humans using their own means possible to hang on as some who were not capable of staying afloat or jumping on the crumbling debris…
Breathed sighs of relief when they saw their bodies suspended in midair, their eyes turning towards Achilles thankfully!
Within moments, the crumbling building settled.
The floors above and below them were gone as heavy damage fell onto the streets below, booming emergency sounds and cars constantly beeping while it looked whole area was cleared out to prevent as many casualties as possible.
Above them in the skies, two dazzling glows of silver and red fought as the air was filled with a putrid stench of blood, and below them…
The crumbled building showed a floor reinforced by layers of sheets of metal- metal that formed a circular outline that now glowed red like a portal!
Below the sheets of metal, thick flows of blood could be seen inside a pool that bubbled eerily, the hearts of Advanced Humans and thousands of dazzling purple Evolutius Crystals seen within the depths of such a pool as it was surrounded by dozens of Apostles of the Ancient Satyr!
Most of them were in the Meridian Transformation stage as they seemed to hold more cognizance, and Achilles saw the figure of a distraught Amos with his powerful eyes and vision at this moment.
He was standing in front of groups of Humans that had not transformed, with one of them in a lab coat screaming towards the forces of the Lunaris Colony Overseers that had entered from below!
"They held my children hostage! I did not want to do any of this! I did not undergo the ritual to become an Apost-…!"
A massive goat like hand of a Peak Meridian Transformation smashed down onto the man in a lab coat as he became a mush of blood and gore.
All others who were not tainted by the devilish light became quiet at this, along with Amos who seemed like he had lost everything!
Achilles looked at him without an ounce of compassion, but he was not the immediate concern at this moment.
The terrifying wriggling portal that seemed to have been built on the blood and hearts of others paired with thousands upon thousands of Evolutius Crystals was radiating a horrific aura as it was protected by dozens of Apostles, a woman with crimson hair at the forefront shouting towards the forces of the Lunaris Colony Overseers.
"You all do not understand! We do this to protect us all! We do this so we can save all Colony Cities!"
She was roaring out as behind her back, bat like wings similar to Ethereal Master Axano vibrated, her body shining with dozens of Meridians as heavy winds whipped around her that stopped any others from coming close!
She controlled it to a shocking degree as while she stalled for time, the crimson portal behind her pulsed with a heavy air.
Major Inu and others shouted out as their bodies erupted with their own ability factors.
But they were all veered off track or dissipated entirely by the heavy winds swirling around the crimson haired Apostle!
Major Inu's expression was heavy as he floated down with bursts of white flames on his feet.
"Peak Meridian Transformation Ranker Lotus! You are one of the prides of the Colony City of Neon…why do something ?!"
Another powerful Major down below shouted out.
Some placed within the Top 10 of the Meridian Banner Rankings!
A truly powerful Meridian Transformation Advanced Human that others could not easily match as around the periphery of her control, nothing could pass through.
Achilles and Rose arrived on the lower floor as inside of the protection of swirling wind, Amos saw them as he looked incredulous before his eyes burned with hatred.
Their entrance also pulled the gaze of one of the more powerful Meridian Transformation Advanced Humans known within the Colony City of Neon- the Apostle, Lotus!
She had only opened her mouth to speak when suddenly…
Her figure moved sideways as a terrifying beam of light that caused her heart to palpate scorched a portion of the Evolutius Armament she wore.
She was shocked as she moved her hands to her chest, reducing the area of effect of the Wind Barrier she made as her pupils saw the glimmer of even more golden solar beams of light surge in her direction!
Heavy winds rapidly moved her aside or caused slight deviations in the solar beams as she barely came out scot-free, her eyes livid as she opened her mouth to roar inhumanely towards Achilles in the next moment.
A droning sound echoed out as the pulsing portal she had been protecting this whole time pulsed with a devilish crimson purple light.
An action that caused joy to flash in the eyes of Apostle Lotus as she laughed while spreading her hands out!
"Haha! HAHA! It is too late! He is here. HE IS HERE!"
Nine beams of scorching solar light thundered on all sides as she celebrated, her happy expression deteriorating as this time, she could not evade them all.
Her figure was smashed into as she was flung like a ragdoll, about to smash onto the portal behind her when.
Something that caused the hearts of all those here to drop occurred.
From the bubbling crimson portal, a sizable hand with crimson skin came out- stopping the advancement of Apostle Lotus any further as it grabbed onto her head and dissipated the heavy force flinging her back.
Her skin all over her body was scorched and nearly melted, but her eyes held a hint of fanatism as she tried to turn her head around to observe the glorious entity spilling out of the portal!
For his aura was grand.
And just his hand was enough to cause much trepidation as something unimaginable walked out of a portal that was made from the sacrifices of who knew how many!
