Chapter 35 — Unexpected Guest
Varnesh and Astriel clashed like two titans trapped inside a confined battlefield, their power tearing apart the very space around them with every strike.
Suddenly, without warning, two arrows pierced through the chaos and struck both celestial gods at the exact same moment.
Each arrow carried the force of a miniature sun at its tip, exploding on impact with terrifying brilliance.
The impact sent both Astriel and Varnesh flying backward, their bodies crashing violently into the golden barrier created by Nameless.
The entire barrier trembled under the force, rippling like a disturbed ocean, yet it did not break.
Despite taking a direct hit, both celestial gods stood back up almost instantly, their injuries nothing more than minor scratches.
Astriel's radiant golden armor shattered into fragments, revealing his glowing divine body beneath it.
Nameless glanced at him and smirked lightly.
"You know, this guy is so handsome… some girls should be drooling by now," he muttered casually while scanning the battlefield.
But no one reacted.
Everyone remained serious, completely focused on the war, unlike Nameless who treated it like entertainment.
On the other side, Varnesh's deep green, forest-like divine armor also cracked and broke apart, exposing his true form beneath.
Both celestial gods stood in the sky, their expressions turning sharp and cold as they searched for the ones who dared to attack them.
Then, from the center of the battlefield, two figures walked forward calmly.
Each of them held a bow.
Both were Epic Gods.
A strange silence spread across the battlefield as everyone realized something important.
Every warrior has a moment to shine.
And today… it was theirs.
The first archer radiated a dark, violent aura that seemed to consume light itself.
His name was Ryder Voidbane.
The second archer carried a blazing blue lightning aura that crackled around his body like a storm waiting to explode.
His name was Zephyron Skyrend.
Without wasting a second, both of them drew their bows again.
They released their arrows at the same time.
The arrows collided mid-air with explosive force, creating a violent shockwave that spread across the entire battlefield.
Even Astriel and Varnesh, who rushed forward instantly, were forced to step back under the pressure.
Three steps.
Four steps.
Both stopped.
Ryder Voidbane smirked slightly and said, "Looks like your celestial god stepped three steps back."
Zephyron Skyrend glanced at him calmly and replied, "Yours took four."
Even in the middle of chaos, their pride as warriors spoke louder than fear.
Nameless watched the scene with growing interest, his eyes narrowing slightly as he analyzed their strength.
"These two… they're Epic Gods, but their raw power is dangerously close to celestial level," he muttered under his breath.
A slow smile formed on his face.
"This war just became interesting."
