The angels retreated, and their destination was the largest floating island that Roy saw, Aesir City!
This city named after Archangel Aesir was the last line of defense of Heaven. When the demon army chased after them, the high-level angels who entered Aesir City first activated the protective barrier of Aesir City.
A golden curtain of light spread out from Aesir City, instantly covering an area of tens of thousands of kilometers, including the entire floating island.
The golden light curtain allowed angels with the power of holy light to enter without any hindrance. Seeing the angels disappear into the light curtain one after another, the demons naturally chased after them. But when the demons touched the light curtain, they screamed one after another before their bodies turned into ashes, and even their souls were directly annihilated.
This scene calmed the demons down a little, and they no longer dared to pounce on the barrier. After the demon lords arrived, the demons began to organize and launch long-range attacks on the barrier, attempting to break it from the outside.
Hundreds of thousands or even millions of rays of magical light suddenly erupted at this moment, and they came wave after wave without interruption. However, when this torrential magical attack fell on the barrier of Aesir City, it did not even cause the slightest ripple.
It was unknown what principle this barrier used, but its strength was unimaginably high. The demons bombarded it for more than an hour, but they did not see any signs of the barrier collapsing.
However, although this barrier blocked the demon army, it also trapped the angels inside. The demons could not break the barrier, and the angels could not attack from the inside. Apart from seizing the time to rest and restore their strength and magic power, the angels who retreated into the barrier could only stare at the demons outside through the barrier.
Facing such a barrier, Roy did not have any good ideas. He could not even be bothered to try to attack the barrier. The concentrated attacks of millions of demons could not affect the barrier at all. Of course, he did not think that he could do it alone, so he sent out his trump card: Dark Knight Sparda!
All along, in addition to his swordsmanship, Sparda had been praised by demons for his attainments in sealing spells. This barrier could actually be regarded as a kind of sealing spell. Such a huge barrier was not something that a single individual could achieve, so Sparda guessed that there must be some kind of large-scale barrier device in Aesir City. Such a device definitely needed energy. If he could crack the energy supply method of the barrier, he might be able to break it.
The demons relied on their absolute numbers to besiege Aesir City, while Sparda led a few demon lords to try to break the barrier. The angels in the barrier realized that if this continued, it would only be a matter of time before the barrier broke, so they had been thinking of ways to save themselves.
The strongest angel in Heaven was currently only at the seraph level. Although seraphs were powerful, they could at most tie with a group of demon lords in the Demon World. Their strength was not enough to change the entire battle situation, so the angels placed their hopes on Archangel Jubileus.
At the very center of Aesir City was the area where the Kabbalah, the Tree of Life, was located. This Kabbalah had been growing for nearly 10,000 years. Its trunk was nearly 30 kilometers thick, and its height was also very astonishing. It was comparable to the so-called World Tree of the Elves.
At this moment, seven high-level seraphs with golden angel wings were floating on the north side of the trunk of the Kabbalah. The seven seraphs jointly released their magic power and opened a spatial channel on the trunk of the Kabbalah. From this enormous vortex gate, a statue about twelve meters tall slowly emerged.
This majestic statue depicted the appearance of a female angel. She wore exquisite and gorgeous armor, and the armor's shoulder armor, breastplate, and skirt were made of long phoenix feathers. The top of the statue's head was coiled into a bun, and the braids hung down like waves, lingering around the statue's body. At the very top of the statue, there was a statue in the shape of a sun, and the light that bloomed symbolized the statue's identity.
This female angel statue was Archangel Jubileus, who had fallen into a long slumber!
After she fell into a long slumber due to an accident, she turned into such a statue and hid in the trunk space of the Kabbalah. The angels of Heaven thought that Jubileus would recover her soul soon and wake up again, but they did not expect that nearly ten thousand years had passed in the blink of an eye.
"The strength of Jubileus's soul is getting smaller and smaller …" After taking out the statue, the seven ancient seraphs sensed the soul in the statue and said worriedly, "Her long slumber has not healed the damage to her soul. Instead, as time passes, she's getting weaker and weaker …"
"It seems that our plan to let Balder retrieve the Left Eye of Darkness was correct …"
"That's right. As long as we reconstruct the Eyes of the World and inject a new divine spark, Jubileus will be able to completely recover and return to her peak state!"
"In this situation, only Her Excellency Jubileus can lead us to counterattack the demons."
"Now, we're just waiting for Balder to return. I've already reserved a passage. When he enters Heaven from the human world, he'll directly enter Aesir City."
The strange-looking seraphs communicated with each other as they placed the statue of Jubileus under the Kabbalah.
Time passed bit by bit. The demons outside were still persistently attacking the barrier, but Balder, whom the seraphs were waiting for, still had not appeared, making them anxious.
"Could there have been an accident?"
"It's hard to say. Although Balder is the strongest among the Lumen Sages, his enemy, the Umbra Witches, can't be underestimated. It shouldn't be so easy to seize the Left Eye of Darkness …"
"Then what should we do now?"
"Continue waiting. These damn demons came so quickly that we didn't have time to finish deploying. Now that the connection between Heaven and the human world has been temporarily cut off, there's nothing we can do but wait."
"The only good news is that the demons haven't found a way to solve the Radiance Barrier …"
Just as the seraphs were communicating anxiously, they saw a long dragon appear in the sky outside the barrier. This long dragon circled above the floating island where Aesir City was located, and there was a tall six-winged demon standing on the dragon's head.
"It's Osiris …" The seraphs gritted their teeth. "Damn it. I didn't expect that not long after his name appeared in the Book of Truth, he would come to this world and meet us …"
However, the seraphs could only curse at this moment and could not rush out to fight Roy to the death. They could only watch as Roy rode the dragon arrogantly and circled above their heads.
Fortunately, there was the dense canopy of the Kabbalah. If they looked down from the sky, their line of sight would be blocked, so the seraphs guessed that Demon Lord Osiris might not be able to see anything.
But unfortunately, they guessed wrong. When Roy was riding Rafaro in the sky, he had already discovered something unusual at the foot of the Kabbalah through his Radiation Vision.
In his Radiation Vision, the statue of Jubileus was an enormous light source. Even the light of the Kabbalah beside it could not cover the energy radiation emitted by the statue.
After sensing the existence of this thing, Roy immediately became vigilant. He knew that he might have found where Jubileus was …
I have to get Sparda and the others to speed up … Roy thought. Just as he was about to turn around and leave, he suddenly found a few familiar magic power auras in the barrier below.
A golden gate of light appeared inside the barrier, causing the seraphs to be refreshed. As expected, the next second, Balder emerged from the gate of light in a sorry state. The golden mask on his face had already disappeared, and his originally meticulous hair was now messy. His clothes were tattered in many places, and it was obvious that he had just experienced a great battle.
But … he was holding someone in his arms. This person was wearing a tight black leather suit. It was the unconscious Bayonetta, and the Left Eye of Darkness was emitting a faint light on her chest …
The seraphs looked at Balder in surprise, knowing that he had succeeded. But before they could welcome him, they saw a few more figures emerge from the gate of light!
They were … Dante, Vergil, and Nero! They were also injured, but they still chased after Balder …
When Dante and the others appeared, not only was Roy not pleasantly surprised, but his heart skipped a beat. Oh no!
