Terra looked at the massive destruction in the surrounding area as a result of the battle. All of the various enemies were rounded up and trapped alongside the useless human prince. Suddenly, Terra and her allies felt a massive burst of energy flashing towards them.
"AEGIS!" Gaia shouted, and the multi-coloured and multi-layered shield of mana formed, but it did little to protect them as the attack smashed each layer of the shield with relative ease, until it crashed into the team, sending them flying.
"Activate, [ Venomous Suppression Formation ]!" An aged but powerful voice sounded and suddenly, four people arrived.
An middle aged Human man with black hair and black eyes.
A Demon with crimson red hair and eyes.
A Dragonoid with Golden Hair and Golden Eyes.
And finally, A Vampire.
The ferocious aura released from each of those 4 beings was terrifying and enough to suppress the group of young elves, showing their terrible power.
Mana surged from the people in the four corners. The mana then turned into 15 giant multicolored chains. Fifteen ( 15 ) mana chains rose from the ground. The mana chains immediately flew towards the group of young elves.
Gaia immediately created a dome barrier around the group to protect them and stop the hostages from being taken away, but it did little to help the group. In an instant, a rainbow coloured chair wrapped around the dome and applied pressure, cracking it instantly.
The chains ferociously latched onto Kaori, Terra, Ignis, Ayato and Gaia, three gains per person wrapped around their necks, abdomen and legs respectively, restricting all possible movements.
A second later, the group of Elves started to feel the other effect of this array. The chains began to ferociously suck the mana out of their body.
"This is..." Terra frowned.
" This is what you get for attacking the Disciples of God. Once your mana is drained, you'll be taken to be interrogated and later executed or enslaved for your transgressions." The Human said, an arrogant expression on his face as he applied more pressure to his chains, wrapping them tighter around Terra's neck and restricting her breathing.
"They attacked us first!" Gaia butted into the conversation, a distraught look on her face as she saw what was occurring to Terra.
"NONSENSE!" The Human roared, increasing the pressure onto Gaia as well, " Aether is the benevolent Apostle of the Goddess of Light, Valeria. He would never attack you first unless you were horrible people."
"IS THAT SO?" A mysterious, serene voice echoed in the region, causing the four attackers to instantly look around themselves to the origin of the voice, but to no avail.
"No need to keep looking, we're both here." The voice echoed and the group looked towards the chained Elves. Immediately, the space rippled and two Elven Men appeared. The first Elven male had a rather thin and lithe body, yet his body held a special explosiveness about it. The mana in the region danced around the Elven male and his golden hair swayed in the serene breeze.
The second male was much more muscular, a playful and dismissive look on their handsome face. His purple hair cackled with venomous electricity and his eyes released an invisible pressure that suppressed the entire region. As he appeared, the clear blue sky was replaced with dark clouds and thunder began flashing, lightning striking around the surrounding region.
The four men instantly became serious upon spotting the two new male Elven entrants. They had never even sensed them appear and couldn't see the limit of their power whatsoever. A defensive stance instantly happened in each of the four men.
"Why are you all so defensive? Weren't you just bullying our people?" Barbatos, the purple haired Elven male and one of the original six ( 6 ) Elves asked with an arrogant look on his face.
Noctis, the Golden Haired Elven male and another member of the original six ( 6 ) Elves chuckled and said, "Well, it doesn't matter. I think it's time for me to make my move."
The Human male instantly felt a chill on his spine.
Noctis slowly extended his hand forward, mana in the surrounding region surged as his voice echoed out, "Shatter"
Instantly, the chains crumbled into bits.
"NO!!!" The four people holding the chains screamed in anguish. They desperately tried to keep the chains together, but the power destroying the chains was not something they could go against. In one second, the chains were gone. The backlash from the chains being destroyed was intense and immediately, blood began to leak out of all of their bodies.The four men from different races looked at Noctis as though looking a monster.
Barbatos' body cackled with electricity and immediately, he vanished, going on the offensive. Immediately, the Human, Demon and Vampire male rose up and clashed with him. Barbatos wasn't one to be held back however.
"Domain Expansion, Plane of Eternal Lightning." Barbatos' voice rang out. Barbatos' clothes fluttered in the wind. Then, boundless oppressive might swept forth from his body. Like an invisible tornado, it instantly engulfed this region.
The moment that oppressive might arrived, the four men all had an enormous change in their expression. Shock and fright filled their eyes. The reason for that was because they felt themselves to be nearly suffocating under Barbatos' oppressive might.
A beacon of lightning erupted into the skies before smashing into the ground. The Lightning smashed into the ground, the space shattering as eternal darkness covered the land. The Human, Demon and Vampire male all fell into the eternal darkness, a horrible suppressive feeling terrorizing their bodies as they realized they couldn't even defend themselves as their mana was sealed.
After falling onto the ground and looking up, the three men were shocked. Lightning. Endless Tyrannical Lightning covered the lands, each bolt of lightning having an destructive power within that felt like it could kill them instantly. They sky was crimson red like an apocalypse and the smell of blood permeated within. Countless horrifying screams could be heard from within it. The Domain simply resembled hell itself. It was terrifying to witness.
And, upon closer inspection, the three men began to shiver in fear. Turned out, there were hundreds of millions of people inside that world. From Abyssal Monsters to Humans, Demons, Vampires and even Dragons.
All those people were being cruelly tortured. They were all tied up and being struck by the terrifying lightnings inside that world in an orderly succession. The lightning struck their bodies and their soul, torturing them horrifyingly.
The most surprising thing was that many of these people were recognizable. These people were all horrible criminals in their world, the Dark Necromancer Vampire, to the Abyssal King Carnage, all of these beings were recognizable evil beings who had disappeared throughout the course of time.
The Human's eyes narrowed. He then heaved a sigh of defeat and let his shoulders fall powerlessly. "What a monster..."
"This is a plane where I keep people who had done evil things towards Elven People during our explorations. You'll stay here until our negotiations with our people is completed." Barbatos' voice rang out and he went to throw the group of men to be tortured.
But at that moment–
"STOP!" A Furious roar sounded and a gigantic Dragon claw flew down towards Barbatos.
It turned out the Dragon had recovered and forcefully entered the Domain of Barbatos. Barbatos himself snorted, his eyes turning cold as he waved his hand.
"Eternal Punishment, Thunder of Perpetual Destruction." Barbatos' voice sounded out and from the depths of his soul, a raging golden bolt of lightning materialized. It flashed out, imbuing itself into the surrounding bolts of lightning and turning them golden. With a wave of his hand, Barbatos sent the bolts of golden lightning towards the Dragon.
"ARRGGGHHH!" A roar of anguish sounded as the Dragon's battered body crashed onto the ground, completed razed by the Thunder of Perpetual Punishment.
" Did you think it was so easy to enter my domain. The only reason you were allowed in was to join your friends." Barbatos said, tossing the four human males to be tortured as he left his domain, meeting up with Noctis who had already healed the other Elves.
"Leave a note explaining the situation. Let's get out of here." Noctis said, writing a note and tossing it to the ground, a magic formation surrounding the note to stop it from leaving.
Then, with a flash, the group of Elves and the captured Apostles of Gods and Goddess' vanished.
