ECLIPSE

In his adventure of this magical world Ivan didn't meet much that surprised him, sure here and there there were a couple things that would catch him off guard or unsettle him with its strangeness but surprise was not something he really felt when faced with those situations.

But right now he could certainly say he was surprised.

"Glad you two could make it…"

Ivan didn't need to turn his head to greet the two figures that appeared beside him and Yue. In fact he made absolutely sure he didn't evade his eyes from the monstrosity in front of him.

He and his group managed to push a god to this extent. Even as he and his group often belittled the self proclaimed god they each knew the bastard's abilities were real.

Ehit did after all basically enslave a planet for centuries under the nose of almost everyone. A little bit of brainwashing here, and a little bit of brute strength there. He had both aspects completely locked down.

Who knows when was the last time he personally stepped in to take care of something. Was Ivan honored by the revelation? Not really. He was a bit happy but that was for a different reason.

Inwardly he prayed the arrogant bastard sat on his throne for so long that he was completely washed up.

How much training could a bodiless 'god' even do?

'He's gotta be somewhat rusty, right?'

Ivan wasn't even sure what Ehit specialized in, none of the documents he's gathered from the Liberators never specified. Then again the Liberators never even met Ehit before.

He could be a mage, perhaps a swordsman considering that weird sword he was holding, or with how his combative skills deteriorated over the centuries Ehit just might be a berserker.

'I wonder if he has a class?'

When Ivan and his class were first summoned Ishtar explained that it was Ehit who bestowed the otherworlders their jobs. Ivan just wondered how much validity that statement held. It could have just been the Pope's shameless shilling of his god.

Ivan had half a mind to not ask the powered up god himself. A decision he thanked himself for as the sky literally darkened and the world started shaking. The heat causing shimmers even at a close distance. Tornados started littering the land as it held no regard for friend or foe, indiscriminately ripping apart anyone or anything that got close.

Ivan looked to his side before nodding. All there was to take on Ehit was himself, Yue, Tio, and Felis. And unfortunately Ehit wasn't the only enemy present, the endless supply of killer apostles made things a bit difficult on the squad's side as well.

[Yo Miledi, we could use a couple of your sentinels here. A dozen if you would.]

While he had no idea what the golems Miledi created looked like or what they were called, he was a bit desperate for someone or something to take the heat of the apostles as he and his group dealt with Ehit.

Fighting an infinite amount of enemies would just drain them and screw them over in front of the real threat, Ehit.

{Fufufu~ Since you've asked for this one's help then you may rejoice as I'm feeling especially generous today! 20 should suffice~!]

The moment she finished her words 20 silver robot-like golems descended from the ceiling with thrusters hovering them closer to the ground. Miledi was no tech wiz, but something as simple as thrusters that would slow the fall of her golems was well within her abilities.

'Well, they got quite the bulk to them… they should at least make excellent shields.'

But then the shoulders of the metal giants opened up to reveal sets of weaponry, lasers littered the air as Ivan gave an amazed gasp.

In terms of strength the beams were not even close to the level of the disintegration beams, but they sufficed when hitting the same target together. While not instantaneous the beams would melt whatever they combined to hit in a matter of seconds.

They were special compared to the rest of Miledi's legion, they had a unique artifact equipped to their forearms that Miledi didn't have much time to incorporate into the rest of her units.

And those were the devices she mimicked from Ivan's disintegration blocking shields.

*PHOOOM*

Without a word the apostles surrounding them shot disintegration beams simultaneously.

A couple of the golems shuffled forward before presenting the bars of their arms vertically in front of them as if to block a blow headed to their face.

Instead what appeared were thin film-like orange barriers, each bubbling and rippling upon impact. And as more time went on their barriers became less and less translucent, a sign that they were reaching their limit in terms of capacity.

Golems that weren't defending launched lethals from their shoulders into the attackers. They 'knew' that the longer the barriers were hit the less disintegration beams they would absorb. Meaning prolonged absorption would just end in the group's destruction.

"Hmph, futile resistance."

Ehit spoke coldly as he raised two hands into the air, the dark clouds in the sky growing louder as they glowed an ominous blue.

At least that was until a silver needle came whistling his way.

He dodged it with relative ease before glaring at the figure who had shot it at him.

"Ehit, you're meddling ends here!"

Ivan charged the multi-elemental figure without too much vigor. Felis at his side as Tio and Yue flanked him, preparing spells in each of their hands.

Sorry for the extremely short chapter. At first I thought I was going to have a lot of free time today to write. But then I get sudden news that the company I work for is having me and the other workers migrate to a new website to use so I've been doing that very hastily. Luckily we get a very minor bonus if we get it done before 12AM, a $2 bonus that is.

I pray to eventually live without the constant fear of going broke. Thanks for reading, have a great evening, and I hope to see you guys soon.
