Chapter 1442: The Harrowing Angel
Arad cracked his neck, "But they never said anything about a fight."
Mathilde smiled. "I see."
She lifted her foot up and dropped it to the ground, cracking the ground. Arad could swear he saw sparks; the sheer power she could generate was enough to vaporize the World Tree’s indestructible wood, which only meant that his poor scales won’t hold out any better.
Dendron said that Mathilde is a kicker, which should make her fighting style obvious, but still, when an angel fights, it’ll be anything but simple to deal with.
The first to move was Mathilde. After a tiny lean forward, her body flew at a blinding speed toward Arad, her foot accelerating toward his face with a deafening shockwave.
Arad could see her move, but that was it. He could understand earlier that she was as powerful as Diana, but only now did he feel it. She wasn’t someone who could be easily fought.
He had seen her kick evaporate Dendron earlier, so he couldn’t risk taking a direct hit. While most angels were powerful, there are a rare few who boast enough harrowing power to even kill the gods they serve, and Mathilde is one of them.
A flash of light filled the crack in the branch, and the entrance exploded into a roaring shockwave and a storm of dust and wood splinters. From the chaos, Mathilde flew out, her massive white wings flapping behind her back, drowning the world in radiant light.
She slowly lifted her hand up and rubbed her right cheek, feeling the dull pain radiating behind her back teeth. A faint smile appeared on her face as she looked down, "I never expected that a day would come when I would be thrilled to be slapped."
Arad was already on one knee, panting as he had already lost his right arm blocking her deadly kick. But thanks to Dalla’s moves, he managed to sneak in a counter slap at full force. As expected, the angel took almost no damage at all.
