Established Pinnacle: The Enigma

Middle Realm, West Cardinal

Green Continent, World Forest Region

Meanwhile, as everyone had the time of their lives, enjoying the thrill of danger, reuniting with their comrades, bonding with their new friends or just enjoying peaceful lives with their women.

Enigma was not having it any better. In fact, as things seem, he was about to have his very first major battle ever since he came here to this place. And his chances...

We're not optimistic.

"You really are strong." The nether elven queen crossed one leg over the other and smiled in response to his aura. Unlike everyone here, she could tell that Enigma was strong.

Her pure black aura spreading out, while Enigma's auspicious aura also spread out. It was both Nether and Aether were challenging each other for dominance.

As for the Nether Queen, she was a gorgeous beauty like any of the other Deities. And since she was a rare Nether Elf, her beauty was even more exotic than Lulu's and her sisters.

Her complexion was a bit tanned, and her body was covered in gorgeous ancient-like Runes that gave her an exotic, yet regal feeling. Her proportions were quite large, and abundant.

Her waist was devilish, her curves passion-igniting and her chest melodious. But her most striking feature would be her cheeky smile, and her profound gaze that seemed... to look down on everything!!

As for why she thought so, that Enigma was quite powerful, It was more of an intuition than anything. And as for this lofty goddess, she highly believed in her intuitions.

"I'm not really sure about that, I have not tested my strength against a fellow god so far, so..." Enigma bitterly smiled and humbly disagreed with her. Humility aside, he really was not sure how he'd fare against a greater deity.

Even as a true god, whereby they could skip ranks, victory against a person of another rank was not always set. There were different level of strength among each deity rank after all.

Plus, he was slacking off throughout the whole year. So how could he dare compare himself to gods who lived for probably centuries and horned their battle power.

"Oh? Would you like to verify that?" She asked lightly, her tone carrying hints of mischief within. But Enigma felt like her words were more like a decree, than a question.

It felt like he was talking to an Empress who innately looked down upon all of existence. It was the feeling one got, from just being stared at by her.

"Eh? Excuse me?" He also asked back with a bitter smile, cursing his luck. And he sure knew that there was no way in hell such a person would excuse him.

"Let's see what your position will be like from now on." She proudfully declared with no hear-say or opinions allowed after her words. Like the decree of an Emperor.

"Eh?"

She opened her mouth and raised her hand as she chanted an incantation, ignoring his shocked and troubled expression. "Reo Fag Het Iks Se..."

The tongue she used was different from the demonic magic tongue used by the strange woman, as this one, was more beautiful and sonorous.

Divine magic tongue, laced with a hint of elven tongue, thus making it more suitable to cast magic with. The only magic tongue rivaling it being the draconian magic tongue.

"Wait, miss!!!" Enigma finally couldn't hold it in and tried to stop her with a shout, even breaking out of character, as for once, he raises his tone at someone.

But who was he dealing with here? A prideful goddess, who obviously seemed conceited, as she still ignored him and continued the latter parts of the incantation.

"...Cief Rof Het Re Hat..." Her words continued to echo out, as slowly, mana was being attracted towards her throne, then slowly being converted into divine power.

Sou, Silico and the third nether elf, a male nether elf, looked in stupor as they knew the spell their queen was forming. It was a devastating spell that could possibly shake entire continents!!

Enigma, still tied up stared up above, and saw the clouds slowly turn gray. Without a second thought, he lightly kicked off the floor and projected himself towards the goddess on the central throne.

His eyes quickly turned red, as he activated the [Copy-Wheel Devil Eyes] without hesitation, and using their passive and active abilities at full force.

"Hmph!!" But right then, a light scoff could be heard from the thrones besides the central throne, as one of the beauties situated there... vanished at unbelievable speeds.

At speeds that were probably almost comparable to light itself, she reappeared before Enigma and swung her daggers at him. One aimed at his neck, and the other at his waist.

'...!!!'

Enigma was caught off guard, but his speed was also not be looked down upon, as well as his flexibility. With a nigh-impossible feat, he halted his charge, and canceled out the momentum and pulled back.

And as he did all that, the lady had yet to even reach an inch closer to Hu neck or waist. He was apparently faster than her, both in movement and reaction speed.

"...!!!"

Now it was the young lady's turn to become shocked. Her slim physique, that seem fit with no apparent muscles frozen in the posture of swinging both daggers at him.

And if course, as Enigma pulled back, he only retreated by a single step, leaving only enough distance for her daggers to cut at nothing but air itself.

And as she did so, and was about to land and fix her posture, to quickly retreat, Enigma, stilled tied with his hands held behind his back, raised his right foot and attempted to kick the young lady on her waist.

He dud not intend to hurt her much, but also did not intend to make it soft either. But as he just raised his foot up and was about to kick at her, his senses kicked in as he instead his the strength gathered within his left leg to push at himself backwards.

...!!!

Woosh~ Woosh~ Woosh~

Right at that moment, three arrows that flashed at light speed, that were glowing yellow with extreme light, struck the ground and sunk in effortlessly.

If he was not careful back then, he could have been pieced by those arrows. They were not only infused with light properties, but also formed by divine power.

He could be affected even as a true god!!

'God damn, these people are strong...' Enigma thought, as even within such a situation, he still seemed relax. But, unfortunately, that was only for a moment.

As he heard the chant continue...

"...Vie Meg Rou, Yegn Hat Folst, Wyl Lim Wol..." The chant was longer due to some words being said during the actions, but Enigma heard it all nonetheless.

And with his Basic Divine Art, "Omnilingualism", he could luckily understand what the divine magic tongue was saying. And believe him, it was not something light.

"Miss, I yield, I yield." Enigma wanted to raise his arms and give up, but unfortunately, he was tired up, and he did not think that the goddess would listen to him at all.

...!!!

And indeed, she did not listen to him, and kept on chanting. Meanwhile, he felt a sort of death threat from behind him the same time he mentioned his defeat.

"Pathetic." Was the only word he heard, as following that, was a gigantic broad sword falling down towards his head like a shooting star, ready to shatter his entire being.

"....."

Enigma was caught speechless, but luckily, this lass, ejo had powerful tout muscles and a tall figure, was much slower than the former lady that could almost rival light in speed.

And with that in mind, he side stepped, and let the broad sword brush past his entire being, as it struck the ground, and shattered the surface of the whole building.

And he had the feeling that she was holding  back. But so was he. If they went all out, nobody might make it out alive within the whole region. Deities... were planetary threat at minimum!!

And a region was base planetary at most.

Vwoom!!

The lass picked picked her sword as if it weighed like a feather and swung it towards him once again. Enigma bending his back, backwards as he dodged yet another attempt at his life.

And worst of all, just the broad sword cutting a the air, was reminiscent of the roar of a dragon. Hell just the sound was terrifying alone.

Vwoom!! Vwoom!! Vwoom!!

Bang~

Vwoom m!! Vwoom!!

Bang~

Enigma dodged five consecutive attacks that could likely bisect ordinary lesser gods without much effort, as easily as a feather bring blown by the wind.

But... this was never meant to be a one on one fight, it was literally eight gods against a single Enigma. Thus, he could not relax.

Vwoom!!

Bang!!

Woosh~ Woosh~

The lass, picked up the broad sword from the small crater she made, and swung it down again without any flashy movements. This time around, seemingly using more strength.
