Chapter 54 - The Angel Spoke (1/2)
”I can't let our Citadel be scraped away from a premature history just yet, those two people are our allies. So don't kill them, 'kay?” MF said, trying to choose her wording carefully as it could be pointed out by her attentive wife.
”You know that I could also see through their heart, right? Why are you scared~?” Foel said, playful with her tone. 'Huh, there is another one?'
”H-hey! I just don't want you to be misunderstood!” MF awkwardly smiled. ”You're really hard to read with that deadpan of yours, you know?”
Foel chuckled a little bit. ”If I failed to grasp your intentions, then I don't deserve you, and if I don't, then no one ever deserves to have you.”
”You're getting cheesy. Turns out, a Tanomobi is just a big humanoid mouse.” MF laughed, a genuine one.
”I like my cheese but that is a scrutinizingly awful joke that you threw there.”
”I'll take that as a compliment.”
It might've been the first time, but MF blushed behind her composed demeanor.
Foel casted an anti-friction, high concealment barrier, and other numerous utility spells before trying to construct a defensive shield. MF caught the circuit's assimilation, so she decided to tell her wife the plan.
”Avoid using offensive and defensive spells.” MF smirked. ”I'll leave all of the utility to you.”
”Won't that be dangerous?” After having a second thought, Foel managed to catch what her partner was meant to say before MF said it herself. ”I see, so what Angel are we dealing with?”
”Anvriel, two winged. It could imitate our strongest spells if you're not careful. I'm afraid that we won't be able to fight its true form, and it's still a mystery how that being is still alive.”
Foel then remembered the time where they fought with Elon in the unknown realm.
”Does an Angel have a soul?” Foel said.
Dodging the hell of bullets, MF and Foel had reached Abe who pummeled and screamed lazers to the ever growing Angel. It might not last, as the divine entity's growth became more and more sporadic.
'A soul, huh.' MF pondered
It was stated by numerous researchers that all kinds of sentient beings have a soul somewhere anchored within their physical vessel, even gods. This meant that an unknown monstrosity called the Angel must have it, right?
'42, It will be a hard time to to find that amount of soul's anchors on an entity that complex.' MF smiled out of uncertainty. ”Foel, let's dig a big hole out of it.”
”Why not? Abe, make a passageway.”
The giant skeleton concentrated its energy onto one single line, creating a tunnel within a wall of flesh. Not even a second, half of the damage dealt by Abe had already healed due to the contagious regeneration capability of the biblical entity. But the Avalanche Bringer didn't want to dissatisfy his master so he preserved his momentum by blasting his dark energy.
