Chapter 299: Gabriel
Chapter 299: Gabriel
"Huff, huff!" Akuji looked around with panicky eyes.
The Crazed Angels moved everywhere in his vision, surrounding him and the other members of the party.
With their crazed grins and bloodthirsty expressions, it felt like they were standing right in the middle of a nightmare.
"TCH!" Akuji smashed his teeth together so hard that a few of his teeth chipped off. "Do I have to do fucking everything?!"
As he spread his right arm wide, a thin, silver blade appeared in his hand, and it soon multiplied by ten. It looked like he was holding a long string with eleven silver blades attached to it.
With a swing of his right arm, those silver blades launched into the air, and they pierced through the Crazed Angels around him. They created stabbing wounds in their bodies, but it was far from enough to take any of them down.
"Armament Manifestation!" Akuji pointed at the ground with two of his fingers and then lifted them high up.
Through the ground, below the Crazed Angels, an enormous silver blade emerged and stabbed through one of the Crazed Angels. It cut him half, and it was enough to kill him!
Akuji retrieved a couple of ordinary-looking knives from his belt and then shredded through the Crazed Angels.
Within his mouth, an even crazier grinned stretched across his face. Akuji looked more crazy than those angels!
"Die, die!" Akuji made his way through the Crazed Angels, a crazy glint in his eyes.
It seemed like he had lost his mind!
"Akuji, where're you going?!" Lionel shouted. "We need you here!"
"I am going to take down the boss!" Akuji's gaze lingered in Rawkshawn's direction. "That bastard shall taste steel when I shove the silver blade down his throat!"
"You can't defeat him alone!" Lionel shouted.
"Watch me!" Akuji leaped off the ground and made his way past the Crazed Angels.
However, even though they had wings on their backs, not a single Crazed Angel went after Akuji. Instead, they just grinned and watched as if they were enjoying the show.
At last, Rawkshawn lowered his gaze down to the ground, where Akuji was running towards him. It was like he was just looking at a mere ant moving across the ground.
It didn't make him feel in any particular way.
Akuji grinned, and as he jumped off the ground, the ground cracked beneath his feet with an impressive explosion.
Like a comet, he shot up into the sky, and soon he had jumped so far that he was above Rawkshawn's head.
Akuji pointed his head to the sky and shouted. "God's Silver Blade!"
Through the mist and the dark clouds, an enormous silver blade stabbed through them and seemed to hover in the sky, Rawkshawn right below it.
It looked so big that even Rawkshawn wouldn't be able to wield it with his massive frame.
"?" Rawkshawn looked up to the sky at the gigantic sword, and still, he didn't change his expression.
"Fall down!" Akuji ordered at the sword. "Stab. Kill. Destroy!"
The gigantic weapon started falling. Around it, the blade got caught in the wind, creating a deafening roar.
The ground around Rawkshawn was already shaking, as if the ground were shaking in fear. It was like an apocalyptic force was heading down.
The Crazed Angels looked over with large grins in their faces; some of them were even laughing.
Oldman, Lionel, and Sepheron looked over with narrow gazes. They were impressed by Akuji's ultimate attack, but they still wondered whether that would be enough.
As the gigantic sword was about to land on him, Rawkshawn lifted one finger and placed it at the tip of the gigantic sword.
The gigantic sword came to an instant stop.
One finger. It only took one finger to stop it.
"?!" Akuji's eyes widened in shock.
Crack... crack... CRACK!
Slowly, cracks spread across the gigantic sword's silver blade, and then it shattered into a million pieces.
Akuji's ultimate attack was ultimate failure!
"Impossible..." Akuji couldn't believe it and grinded his teeth together.
With the last bit of his strength, he pointed his hands towards the sky and screamed. "God's Silver Blade!"
Within the clouds, another gigantic sword appeared. This time, it was even bigger than the previous one, and slowly, a purple color spread across its blade.
It was even clad in Purple Kraft!
"THIS SHALL DESTROY THE WORLD OF THE WEAK!"
"..." Rawkshawn clenched his right hand into a fist, and he then threw an uppercut. "Ordinary Uppercut."
The uppercut's impact landed on Akuji, and he coughed out blood as he was sent flying to the ends of the islands. He crashed into a mountain some distance away, and it was unclear whether he survived or not.
The rest of the uppercut's impact landed on the gigantic silver blade and smashed right through it. The Purple Kraft couldn't protect it, and like the previous blade, it also cracked and shattered.
The remnants of the gigantic blade scattered across the island.
The Crazed Angels started laughing wildly as if they had been holding it in. They thought it was extremely hilarious that a mere mortal thought that he would be able to defeat their Lord
Rawkshawn.
They felt like it was the greatest joke of them all!
However, Oldman and the rest weren't laughing. They looked as serious as a heart attack.
While fighting the Crazed Angels, they slightly forgot about Rawkshawn's overwhelming power, but now they would never forget it.
It didn't matter how much they would resist and fight; they doubted they would be able to make a scratch on Rawkshawn.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
They would need the entirety of the mercenary world to attack him!
"This is bad..." Oldman turned around and saw that Nerezza was still meditating and Adam was sleeping soundly.
"Hopefully the First Sister has found another way out." Lionel whispered. "It is our only
hope."
...
Walking up the long sets of stairs, the First Sister made her way carefully through the mist. It
was somehow difficult to see any of the steps.
Thus, to not accidentally fall off, she had to be careful.
However, soon she started hearing strange ringing of bells. It sounded like church bells were
ringing in the distance, echoing through the foggy air.
She looked surprised and increased her pace slightly.
To her slight surprise, she reached the end of the sets of stairs, and there was another door in
her way. This time, it had four intact chains tightly wrapped around the door.
'Another Door of Sickness? It looks similar...'
She frowned. "Maybe this is another exit? I should check this out..."
With her left hand, she slowly twisted on the doorknob and pushed it open.
However, instead of seeing the hallways of the safe room, she was met with a rocky island in
the middle of a raging ocean.
The island looked dead. It was just one big rock, smooth and dull gray in color. It was so even as there wasn't a single hill, mountain, or even a bump to make it uneven.
The First Sister shook her head, not wanting to go there, but as she was about to leave, the
door shut behind her with a loud bang, trapping her inside.
"No!" She tried opening it but to no avail.
"Who may you be..."
In that moment, a world-shaking voice sounded, and with a pale face, she turned around to
see a man sitting in the middle of the island.
The man was almost bald with just a couple plucks of white hair, as if he had tugged all his hair out, and he was as tall as Rawkshawn, standing over ten meters, but instead of a bulky body, he was lean, and on his face, there seemed to be an eternally sorrowful expression. "Who are you?" The First Sister asked, and she didn't have her usual cheery, grinning expression on her face.
She could tell that this man was not someone to smile at.
"I asked first." The man said with almost childish tone.
"Everyone calls me the First Sister." She said.
"A strange name." The man said. "My name is Gabriel."
With creaking bones, he stood up, and with a couple of long steps, he was towering over her,
his face almost shrouded by the fog that was hanging over the rocky island.
"Why are you here, the First Sister?"
"I-"The First Sister gulped. "I want to go back home..."
"Home? Where is home?"
"New World..."
"I see." Gabriel nodded. "You're going the wrong way then. There is only one way out, and it's
through Rawkshawn's island."
"O-oh..." The First Sister felt heavily depressed.
It meant that they had to somehow fight through Rawkshawn.
"T-then, I suppose I'll get going. I-It was nice to meet you." She turned around and touched
the doorknob, but she wasn't able to twist it!
"Why leaving so soon?" Gabriel tilted his head. "I've only been around my sister and brothers for so long. Finally, someone else. Why don't you stay here? Forever, maybe?"
"P-please..." The First Sister muttered. "I want to go home." Gabriel smiled. "This will be your new home; what do you say?"
