The Alliance, who was still in the Western Regions of Elysium, didn't know where Nyarlathotep had gone with the body of the Giant that Eiko had summoned to help them fight earlier.
King Azza and Keoza both knew that they weren't a match for the creature earlier, and both of them now had grim expressions on their faces.
A creature that was stronger than them as an ally was different from a creature that was stronger than them as their enemy.
Also, it seemed that Nyarlathotep managed to take over the creature's consciousness, making it twice as dangerous.
The Mastermind of the War on Elysium might have left, but that didn't mean that the battle was over.
Facing millions of Abyssal Monsters, the Alliance knew that they still had to fight. They couldn't let such a threat remain in their world.
The Abyssal Lords, who had been left behind by Nyarlathotep, also understood that they were at the point of no return.
Either they fought with everything they had in an attempt to survive, or they allowed themselves to die in the hands of the Alliance, whose numbers had grown significantly with the appearance of Eiko's Boom Boom Pirates.
While the battle was taking place, Eiko stood on top of Poseidon's deck with a frown on her face.
She could still feel her connection with C2, and she could also vaguely pinpoint its general location.
However, when the Fairy Princess realized where Nyarlathotep currently was, her expression immediately turned grim.
"Espoir Frieden!" Eiko shouted. "I need to save Mama!"
Eiko immediately used her skill that would allow her to instantly teleport to Lux's or Iris' location.
However, after using the skill, nothing happened, which made her eyes widen in shock.
In order to prevent any reinforcements from appearing in Espoir Frieden, Nyarlathotep's clone had painstakingly created a wide-area Magic Circle under the Earth, using the leylines surrounding the Elven Kingdom to create a dome of darkness, which manifested the Laws of the Abyss inside it.
In short, the Elven Kingdom of Espoir Frieden had been temporarily turned into a Pseudo-Abyssal Land, which was made possible by the power of Azathoth, who was still sleeping at the deepest layer of the Abyss.
This law prevented the laws of Elysium from interfering with what was happening inside.
The Black Dome only allowed Abyssal Creatures to enter and exit its territory, preventing any kind of reinforcements coming from outside.
Knowing what was at stake, Eiko teleported to the Guild Headquarters of Heaven's Gate and used its teleportation gate to teleport to the Fynn Kingdom.
He left Avery and Poseidon behind to help the Alliance clean up the Abyssal Monsters.
Also, Eiko could summon them anytime, anywhere.contemporary romance
Because of this, she solely focused on making her way toward the Elven Kingdom of Espoir Frieden with the fastest speed she could muster.
Eiko knew that it would still take her a day or two to arrive at her destination even with her full speed.
She just hoped that when she arrived, her Mama would still be safe from the Outer God, who had taken over the strongest Demigod in Elysium.

Espoir Frieden…
Nyarlathotep watched as its army of Golden Abominations, which numbered in the tens of millions, swarmed toward the Elven Kingdom like a golden tide.
The Outer God had its arms crossed over its chest as it relished the desperation, horror, and disbelief that had taken over the hearts of everyone in the High-Elven Kingdom.
"Defend the World Tree with your lives!" the High-King of the Elves, Kazimir El Frieden, shouted. "If we fall here, Elysium will fall after! No matter what happens, the World Tree must survive!"
The High King knew that even if they managed to survive the wave of Abominations that was coming their way, the moment Nyarlathotep made its move, everything would be over.
However, the Outer God seemed to be content to watch the desperation on their faces, so it didn't make any move and simply allowed its subordinates to terrorize the non-combatants from the different races who had all gathered in Espoir Frieden for protection.
The safest place in the world turned into the most dangerous place in Elysium in a heartbeat.
Hereswith commanded Jay Jatere, whose rank couldn't fall lower than the Calamity Rank, using its powers to affect the enemies.
However, there was one problem.
Its powers to manipulate the feelings of others by charming them didn't work on the Golden Abominations, whose only reason for existence was death and destruction and were protected by the Divinity of one of the Pillars of Eternity.
Its sibling, Luison, who was also one of the Seven Stars of Calamity and was currently under Lorelei's control, howled and raised the morale of the protectors of the Elven Race.
Luison was a Werewolf, standing six meters tall. Just like its brother, Jayson Jetere, its Rank couldn't go lower than the Calamity Rank, making it among the top fighters that could defend the Elven Kingdom from the threat of the Golden Abominations.
But that was it.
It could only defend against them, but once Nyarlathotep moved, it would die just like everyone trapped inside the Black Dome, which made Espoir Frieden look like the Ruined Kingdom of Zangrila before it was destroyed by the forces of the Abyss.
"Louison, defend the people!" Lorelei ordered, making the Werewolf charge at the Abominations that were only hundreds of meters away from the walls of the Elven Kingdom.
Hereswith opened her wings and rose high above the city.
She then summoned her Deus Gigantia, whose Rank was that of a Demigod. Seeing this, Nyarlathotep only sneered. It was confident that even if there was a Demigod or two that would appear in the Elven Kingdom, it was still not enough to stop it from destroying it completely.
Luison then began its rampage and started to massacre the Golden Abominations that had scaled the walls of the city.
The Saints, who had now been degraded to High-Rankers, were also giving their all to defend against the unending tide of Monsters that had started to slaughter their way towards the city.
Suddenly, a Golden Abomination lunged at Luison with its tentacles and countless teeth spread wide.
At first, Luision thought that it was just one of the many Abominations in Nyarlathotep's army.
But, the moment they clashed, the Beast of Calamity was sent flying by one of its tentacles, crashing into the structures in the city.
A chuckle escaped Nyarlathotep's lips because the one that attacked Luison was the former Sovereign of the Divine Army, who had been transformed into an abomination.
The Abomination had the strength of a Demigod, which easily overpowered the Calamity Beast who had been weakened considerably by the Laws of the Abyss that permeated the entirety of the Elven Kingdom.
Soon, cries of pain, horror, and despair reverberated in the surroundings.
It didn't matter whether they were Elves, Dragon Borns, Dwarves, Humans, Beast Kins, or one of the other races who had sought shelter within the Elven Kingdom of Espoir Frieden.
All of them suffered the same fate when the Monsters, who looked like Creatures that had stepped out of their most horrifying nightmares, started a killing spree, dyeing the streets of the ancient Elven City with their blood.
