Chapter 306: Taking the orb
The Royal Guards were using all they had, burning through their energy pools, employing the full might of their Runic Sets, and tapping into every iota of demonic energy from their Demon Souls as they clashed with the angels. Yet, they were outnumbered five to one.
After the angels overcame their shock and observed the abilities the Royal Guards were using, they immediately adopted better defenses. It was clear that this group was tasked with a unique mission for a reason; their power and training far surpassed those of other members of their race in Terra.
One of the angels, a Level 10 Champion, adopted a sharp expression as he focused on the humans’ long-range casters. In the next second, he dashed toward them, powerful gales emerging from the soles of his feet, granting him incredible speed.
Mirena, Frank, and Roman saw the man dash toward them, but they couldn’t lose focus and sent everything they had toward his figure. Their attacks were the reason Clasius and Amara could remain in the middle of the angel forces without being overwhelmed. The trio glanced at each other, and thanks to their training, they knew what to do.
Mirena’s eyes flashed with determination as she concentrated two of her metallic lightning tornadoes on the angels surrounding the melee Royal Guards, directing the last one at the man dashing toward them.
The angel with gales beneath his feet saw the massive metallic lightning tornado approaching him, but he kept dashing forward, not deviating from his path. Just as Mirena thought her attack would blast the man to pieces, the angel’s energy surged, causing his speed to rise exponentially. It took but a second, but it allowed the angel to dodge the tornado and approach the Royal Guards.
Mirena, Roman, and Frank were shocked by the sudden spike in the man’s strength and were in great danger. A ferocious smile spread across his face as a spear appeared in his hand, and he was ready to drive it toward the head of the archer.
"BOOOOOOMMMMMMM!"
Unfortunately for the angel, before he could unleash his attack, a figure descended from the sky like a lightning bolt right on top of him, creating a massive crater. Silence fell across the battlefield for an instant as all the angels who thought they would finally turn the tables saw how one of the strongest men in their group had been crushed under the might of the small yellow cat.
Jormungandr’s eyes were cold as Origin Force rushed into his Soul Dimension, and he gazed at the rest of the angels. He had used most of his energy pool in that previous gargantuan snake of fire and lightning, but he was still more than capable of dominating a Champion-level battlefield.
