Chapter 24
riley's left arm was cut off, blood splattered. Before, his arm could touch the ground, lisa lifted and pointed Vongeruzroa towards him and casted "Heilzala" the falling arm
stopped midair, after which it went and reattached itself, completely healing riley's arm
Others were left speechless, lisa smiled, before saying
"Impressive, he is much stronger than what rumours say"
Merlin
"What do you mean lisa?"
Lisa
"Haven't you noticed, that black insect has also lost its both arms"
As they looked towards it, they noticed blue colored blood spraying from where its hands used to be , as it groaned it pain
Riley smiled and said as he walked towards the groaning insect
"You really live up to your title of being the greatest healer in einvalla history"
As he came near the insect, he slashed horizontally decapitating the black insect, its blood sprayed as its head flew off and its body fell to the ground
Merlin and sreya's face washed over with relief as sreya said
" see, i told you, my brother is aweso--"
Riley's blood dripped as a blade hand of an newly hatched black insect had pierced his chest, blood came from his mouth
Lisa acted fast by cutting the arm of the black insect and grabbed riley and took him back inside the shield to immediately start healing him
The insect regenerated its arm, and the insect Riley decapitated also grow its head back and screeched, which caused every egg inside the floor to burst
Merlin
"Sreya, just how strong is this shield of yours"
Sreya was in distraught seeing rileys condition, but, still answers
"I dont know, each one of those INSECT seems to be stronger than the earth dragon we faced, at best I can hold off for a few mins"
Hearing this, merlin threw away her spear and called out for her magical spear
"ATGEIRR !"
HER magic spear materialized out of her source, which she used to enhance the shield
"With this, sreya, we should be able to last a few more minutes"
Lisa who was focused on healing riley said
"They have us surrounded on all sides, we can't even go back to the previous floor, i count atleast 800 of them"
At that very moment, insect grouped up on the barrier shield, each of their attacks being stronger than the hits of earth dragon
Sreya fell to her knees because of the force

Lugh
"Your face seems like you are struck with lightning,"
Mans face had turned pale as he blankly gazed at lugh, who was giving him a death glare said
"You have some nerve bringing down the name of king Crolenn"
His eyes widens with surprise, but lugh continues
"Kraeos, was the one who built this Dungeon, for the sole purpose of keeping you sealed away, but, now this Dungeon is tweaked up a lot hasn't it, I wonder why"
"Kraeos!?.. how the hell! Do you know about all that!"
The man was flustered as if lugh was hitting nails in his head, but, lugh continues
"Let's me guess, the one who remodeled this Dungeon, and told you to impersonate king Crolenn to confirm the false history was fabricated by the church, it is the pope isn't it Cronus"
Cronus started sweating as he was left speechless
"You can sweat?, you still have that much life inside you, well you did held the title of a God"
Cronus was about to say something, but, lugh punched him in the face soo hard that half of his teeth fell off
"Im the one talking here"
Said lugh in a domineering tone
"I dont think, pope will go to such lengths just to strengthify the false history, he hid something here didn't he
Cronus's eyes widened as lugh continues
"Something that can't be destroyed even by the immense power of the pope, i think we both know what that could be"
Lugh noticed his reaction and was able to confirm his theory and started to walk away, but as he was walking, Cronus said
"I met some very interesting people today, among them was a girl who possessed the spear of Nyxia and the other one had t----"
Cronus was talking with a disgusting smile, but, his smile turned to grief as lugh turned back and looked at him with blood and disgust in his eyes and said
"IF YOU SAY THEIR NAME'S ONE MORE TIME,.I WILL MAKE YOU SUFFER EVEN MORE THAT YOU'LL PRAY FOR THE GIFT OF DEATH"

Meanwhile in the infested room
Sreya was barely holding the barrier together as dozens of insects stronger than earth dragon were attacking at the same time. Lisa couldn't move away from riley even for a second, because that would mean his death, merlin was simultaneously enhancing the magic barrier and providing sreya with her mana
Lisa
" Merlin! Is there anything we can do, she is at her limit!"
Merlin
"No matter how much I think, but, nothing comes to mind"
"Damn it !"
Lisa POV [if only I could move from here, the we could atleast have a fighting chance, riley please, heal up!! Fast]
All the insects started backing up
Merlin
"What now!"
Lisa
"I've got a really bad feeling about this"
The insects after backing up, suddenly attacked at the same time, which caused merlin to fall, removing the enhancement. She tried to get back up, but before she could,the insects attacked in unison again, making sreya to fall on her knees
Merlin quickly tries giving sreya some of her mana, but she realizes
"No way! My mana is gone!!?"
The insects backed up and again attacked the barrier with more force, this time sreya started bleeding from her eyes and mouths
"Sreya !!"
Lisa called out to sreya trying to heal her, but, as soon as she diverts her mana in two to also heal sreya, riley started bleeding excessively
"No way !!"
[If only lugh ! Was here ]
The insects again attacked, but this time breaking through the barriers as sreya falls
As the insect were about to get close, a barrier was put up again, strong enough to push back the insect
Lisa
"WHAT ! THE HECK JUST HAPPENED"
Merlin looks at riley and sreya who were being healed, she then looks at lisa, who was just as clueless
The noise in the room made by large insects vanished as a clapping sound was heard
Lisa looks to where the voice was coming from
"LUGH !!!"
Lugh walked in through the entrance surrounded by an army of dragon killing insects. He walked through them casually as even the insects remained stunned at his boldness
A insect with giant hands came up to him, as lugh stops he glared in his eyes, the insect tilts his head, before. punching lugh's face soo hard that Shockwave pushed other insects away
"Lugh ! ARE YOU OKAY"
LISA screamed in worry, but as the dust smoke lifted, lugh remained standing. After spiting blood he punched the insect with such force that the insect was obilerated
The group was in shock at the sight of this spectacle. Riley stands up, so does sreya
Riley
"Lugh! Those things can regenerate !!"
Lugh
"Is that so. Well in that case, ill have to go a little extreme "
Riley
"Huh!?"
Lisa
"Huh!?"
All the insects were binded by a magic circle and were taken taken high to the ceiling on lugh's command
Lisa
Don't tell me, this Spell !"
Lugh lifted his arm towards the ceiling where the insects were binded
" NELUMBO IGNIS "
the whole ceiling glowed up crimson red, due to the firey red lotuses. They looked in awe at the once formidable insects, who were now burning as a beautifull garden of crimson lotus
