A few minutes ago…
Chris was slowly managing to land on the surface of Ginnungagap, there were a few Heralds of Light with him that also decided to stay here, mostly protecting and guarding the spaceship.
CLASH!
With a mildly rude landing, Chris managed to get the spaceship in the ground, as he sighed in relief.
"W-We are still alive…"
"What a relief…"
"Lord Chris, we have to go aid Loid-sama!"
The Heralds of Light quickly wanted to rush outside, as Chris nodded and opened the door.
However, the first thing that greeted their sight after coming out was a blazing skull the size of an elephant glaring at them with blazing infernal red flames coating its entire skull body.
"W-What?"
"Eh?"
"Huh?"
"A fine meal for my lord!" laughed the skull, as it suddenly poured immense quantities of flames inside of the entire spaceship, the flames were not only phantasmal, burning souls with it, but they also contained divine properties that made it easily get through normal equipment elemental resistances!
FLAAAASH!
"GGRRRYYAAGGH…!"
"FIRE! IT BURNS!"
"FUCKKK!"
"UUAAGH…!"
The flames incinerated the interior of the entire spaceship as the paladins screamed in agony while being cremated alive, however, a few of them released their soul auras and pushed outside with all of their might, Belphegor wasn't good at taking hits despite his enormous size and had to evade the deadly holy light attack, which was super effective against an Undead such as him.
Four Paladins jumped outside while being led by Chris, while another inside the spaceship was using his holy light to destroy the unholy phantom flames.
"Hahhh…! You fiend! Come here!" roared Chris, as his blade shined with bright light.
"Why would I do that? I feel very comfortable in the skies!" laughed Belphegor, as he began to shower the knights with gigantic fireballs continuously, blasting the entire area with his deadly attacks!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
"You damn skull!" roared Chris, as he evaded with the rest of his knights as much as he could, however, the powerful flames began to consume the surroundings and made of everything an infernal landscape!
The knights led by Chris began to fire beams of holy light against Belphegor, however, Belphegor easily evaded, waiting for his allies to emerge…
CLASH!
Suddenly, a large black tentacle emerged from the underground, entangling the leg of a Paladin!
"Eh?!"
The ground beneath his feet started to crumble and open wide, like a sinkhole, as a gigantic black mass of oozy liquid emerged, covered by yellow eyes and opening a large gaping mouth filled with spiraling razor-sharp teeth, the monstrous scene only lasted a split of a second, as the knight fell right inside of the mouth and was triturated into pieces!
CRUNCH…. CRUNCH!
"UNNNGGRRYAAGGYH…!"
The other Paladins ran away in horror as a sudden tremor emerged behind two of them!
TRUUUMM!
The entire ground beneath them exploded as countless boulders fell around, an enormous draconic entity made of pure shadows appeared, as its crimson-red eyes gleamed eerily at the two paladins, the monstrous creature extended its shadow wings as it roared, jumping towards them!
"RRRROOOAAARR!"
"What is that thing?!"
"Who cares! Kill it!"
The two paladins charged their magic and used Holy Light Beam, a powerful Holy Light Attribute Spell, the two beams clashed against the gigantic being made of darkness, as it began to slowly dissipate through the intense holy light!
"I-It's working!"
"Hah! Get what you deserve!"
However, the creature continued to walk as the darkness that was dissipated only regenerated back through its immense quantities of mana, in an instant, the monster was right next to the Paladins!
FLAAAASH!
Its claws fell over the two and splattered them into the ground, the power and might of this creature were immense, their bones and bodies were crushed into pancakes as they had too little mana to defend themselves in time!
CRASH! CRASH!
Chris was only left with a single paladin, the one inside the spaceship was slaughtered by a red-skinned and muscular woman that suddenly jumped inside and was now glaring at them from the spaceship's entrance.
Chris gritted his teeth as his entire body began to sweat cold, he glanced at the skies to see how Loid was doing, only to find that there was a monstrous creature covered in tentacles falling below, it fell over the surface behind the other monsters, and it burped a piece of golden metal and a cracked sawed blade… Loid's items.
Chris' eyes sunk into his eye sockets as he began to despair, he fell on his knees, seeing his Lord dead before he was a terrible disgrace as a guardian, he felt a knot on his throat as he glanced at the bloody pieces…
"My lord, these are the survivors, as you requested," said Belphegor.
Chris and the Paladin at his side glanced at Chaos, the monstrous tentacle monster that had emerged, as it slowly began to shapeshift back into the figure of a handsome young man, with pale-white skin, short white hair, and sharp crimson-red eyes, he had two draconic wings behind his back, a tail with a sharp spear-tipped stinger, and black horns growing from above his forehead, spiraling into the skies.
His eyes seemed like those of a dead fish, his entire presence emanated the air of pure DEATH.
The pressure was so immense that Chris felt like he was undergoing a trial of courage, the paladin at his side had long ago fallen unconscious due to the sheer horror, something within this entity's very presence was so utterly terrifying that even Paladins trembled before its presence, this was because Chaos was unleashing several intimidating skills at the same time, which made it so his very presence seemed to twist the perception of reality to those weak-minded that was to see him, the Paladin had fallen unconscious because his mind could simply not process what Chaos really was…
Chris glanced at Chaos, he wanted to move, to confront the killer of his lord, to say something, anything! …Yet he could not do anything, his body was as stiff as a log, and his eyes couldn't even blink out of the horror.
Chaos looked at him expressionlessly.
"I hope you cooperate," he said.
