Chapter 288: Defeating an Angel
The angel looked at the incoming hammer, it was far too big for him to dodge the attack.
He gritted his teeth in anger and pulled his sword back to attack.
"Severance," he yelled, his voice thundered through the air, the attack slammed into the hammer hard, multiple slashes at the same time.
Explosions ripped through the air as the attacks collided with the hammer, it managed to stop the hammer, but it didn’t manage to damage it even slightly, this alone enraged the angel, he turned around eagerly to find Aren, only for Aren to appear behind him, riding on his stronger wyvern.
The angel reacted fast and turned with a slash to cut right through Aren. Aren used shadow form, allowing the sword to phase right through his body, stunning the angel instantly, and then he lunged forward at full speed, his wolf guard going for the neck.
The angel retreated very fast, but the tip of the nails managed to graze the neck slightly, drawing blood from the angel.
He looked at the blood that had left his body with utter disbelief, shocked at what just happened, but Aren had no plan to allow the angel to think.
"Die!" the angel growled, calling the hammer back and before the angel could move away Aren swung it, it slammed into the angel and sent him down, slamming into the ground hard and leaving a massive crater in the ground.
Aren did not delay, he hurled the hammer down at the angel in the crater.
BOOM
After that, he flew downward and proceeded to knee the angel deeper into the ground, the angel coughed a huge amount of blood, eyes widened as the pain shot through his body.
Aren then proceeded to start releasing a rain of punches one after the other nonstop on the angel, the angel’s face slowly turned into mangled flesh and blood, but Aren didn’t seem like he wanted to stop, he kept going until finally the angel’s hands moved and grabbed one fist.
Aren immediately tried with his second fist only for it to be blocked again, he looked down and he saw that the angel was healing, regenerating with divine power.
"You have done enough!" the angel declared with a mouth that was barely formed, he put power into his arms and started pushing Aren back.
Aren refused to be pushed back, putting all his strength into pushing downward, he yelled from the top of his voice, filled with rage, anger and more, and then shadows from the ground shot out and wrapped the angel, latching him down and pulling his hands back, but even with those things on his hands, he was still pushing Aren back.
"I am a divine being, I’ll not be toyed with by a normal human, even if it means the burning of my soul, I’ll ensure that I defeat you and turn your body into minced meat, that is after I torture you till you break," the angel declared, his face almost fully formed.
The moment that Aren heard torture, the last string of thinking that the youngest one who was in control snapped.
"Die, die, die, die, die," his voice got louder each time and so did the strength that he put into his arms, his strength just kept growing and growing nonstop, the angel didn’t understand where such strength was suddenly coming from, he looked at Aren with wide eyes, the type of look you had when you met a monster in the forest.
"Arghhhhhhhhhh!" Aren thundered with one last push and his hands broke through and slammed right into the chest of the angel, shattering his ribs and almost puncturing the lungs.
Cough
The angel coughed a huge amount of blood in that moment, his eyes widened, he tried to push back against Aren, but he couldn’t at all, and his arms were getting weaker with every single moment.
"You want to torture me," Aren asked, his entire face dark like a demon that was about to eat the soul of someone.
"Get the fuck off me," the angel yelled, he flicked his finger and his sword came flying back to him, he grabbed the sword and immediately went for a slash, but Aren pulled back fast and dodged the attack before proceeding to stomp the angel in the chest, shattering even more ribs and this time making some puncture right into the lungs.
The angel coughed blood, his body filled with so much pain that his mind was starting to get foggy, he rolled and got to his feet, but even then he didn’t look like someone that was defeated, rather it seemed like he had a few things in the bag for Aren.
His wounds began healing back as he began gathering himself. Aren did not plan to let him though, he charged at the angel, ready to attack, only for the angel to look up the very moment that Aren was attacking, his eyes flashed with a bright light, Aren looked at the light and his entire body froze, not moving a single muscle.
The angel saw that what he had done had worked, he let out a smile that went from ear to ear, while he looked at Aren like he was some sort of scrum meal.
He charged ahead and went for a slash, his blade dug into the side of Aren, blood gushed out as Aren was thrown back far and fast, he bounced off the ground like a tennis ball before finally coming to a stop.
The angel shot into the air, this was his opportunity to take down Aren finally, now that Aren was under the spell that he had used, there was no way for Aren to escape it at all.
The blade plunged into Aren’s chest, blood gushed out like a fountain.
"Haha, hahahahaha," the angel laughed like a madman as he removed the blade from the chest of Aren, blood gushed out nonstop as Aren lay there on the ground bleeding out.
"After all the show that you put up, you still ended up dying to my blade, as it should always be," the angel said and then turned to leave, he still wanted to finish the mission that he had to do.
He walked away for a few meters, Aren becoming smaller and smaller behind him, when suddenly a tendril shot from the ground and lunged at the angel.
He sensed it.
Turned, slashed.
The tendrils were ripped into two, the angel looked for Aren’s body, but it was no longer there. Then a shadow covered him, he instantly knew that there was someone there, he turned around fast only to see Aren in the air, eyes red, covered in blood, looking like a demon.
"Die."
Aren growled, the angel very quickly tried to use the same method as before, but before his eyes could do their work, tendrils plunged into them very fast.
"Arghhhhhhhhh!"
The angel screamed from the bottom of his stomach, feeling a pain unlike anything that he had felt before, blood gushed from where his eyes used to be.
Aren proceeded to attack, landing a punch right into the face of the angel, then used tendrils to hold him back and pull him toward him, proceeding to knee him right in the face, shattering his face.
He summoned the ancient devourer and then slashed down, the blade cut right into the shoulder of the angel, ripping through blood and bone until it stained the floor completely.
The angel fell to the ground incapable of moving anymore.
Aren stood over him, the same evil look in his eyes.
"All of you who have decided to hurt me, I’ll make sure I kill all of you one after the other, none of you will be able to hurt me anymore."
Aren said before plunging the sword right into the back of the angel and through the heart, this activated the ancient devourer and it instantly started devouring the angel from inside, the angel screamed in horror, fighting to keep his life, but the ancient devourer had no care for his want to survive, it consumed right there until all that was left on the ground was an empty husk, all the blood had been sucked out of it.
Aren stood watching it, not a shred of emotion on his face, the rage of the youngest one.
