Chapter 142: Even Though I’m a Monster (2/2)
”I can use more of them.” The angel went through the same procedure, but this time two portals appeared. Before Ed could teleport everyone, he noticed Raikou and Gobuta running towards the beams. Gobuta's sword was clad in a purple dark aura and his tattoos glowed the same way. Raikou's mist grew thicker around his body. Gobuta's sword managed to block the incoming beam, and after a slight struggle, he changed the direction to the sky. Raikou, on the other hand, seemed to absorb the light beam down to the last drop. His mist grew even thicker by the time he finished.
”What?!” The angel was surprised and reacted slowly. Noticing MetalGreymon's thoughts, she used her wings to shield herself from two missiles that he released. He used his signature ability the Terra Destroyer. The explosion was a large scale one, but the angel emerged with only a couple of burns on her body. Her mind reading ability couldn't keep up with so many people attacking her. Everyone found the chance they were waiting for. She was able to dodge Suika and Garu who used poison, and ice magic respectively. Goburou managed to catch her off guard and injured hern albeit only slightly. She was unable to dodge the metal arm of MetalGreymon that bound her.
”Give up!” Ed stood in front of her as if declaring his victory. Yet, the angel refused to yield. Ed tried to swing his sword in order to scare her, but the direction of the swing was the opposite of what he thought. The angel broke out of MetalGreymon's binding and flew. Ed wanted to follow her but ended up running to the back.
”What is this?!” Ed was surprised by what was happening.
”Leave it to me Suu!” Suika latched on to Ed's head, and he felt his mind becoming clearer. The angel used a magic to disturb his senses, but Suika's white magic was able to nullify it. Ed looked quite ridiculous since Suika was in her slimeball form, making it like Ed had a golden helmet on.
”You won't be able to escape this!” the angel caught her knees with her hands, and her wings surrounded her. A white light started surrounding her body.
”Raikou, Gobuta. I need an opening!” Ed knew that only the two of them could stop the light. Ed thought about sending flying slashes through the ball of light using his Space magic. But, it wouldn't be enough to stop her.
”Holy Nova!” The angel's muffled voice sounded from inside the sphere. Raikou and Gobuta stood next to each other as they used the same thing as earlier. Gobuta sent a flying slash toward the incoming sphere of light, while Raikou made his own sphere of shadows. They were successful in making the light disappear, but only in the area in front of them.
”That is enough, thank you!” Ed jumped past them while using his strongest sword skill. ”Providence Blade!” The skill managed to reach all the way towards the angel, blowing her and the light away.
The angel tumbled around on the ground before stopping and standing up. She was badly injured but still looked like she wanted to fight.
”Let's stop. I truly meant it when I wanted you to come.” Noticing that Ed truly meant what he was saying, she let her guard down.
”Even though I'm a monster?” Still doubtful, she asked him.
”All of my companions are monsters!” Ed smiled while answering her.
”I seethen take care of me!” She extended her bloody arm to Ed, who used a healing card to heal her. Although it was overkill, he wanted to show his good will.
”So how will you break my connection with this tower?”
”You'll see!” Ed smiled while contacting the system in his mind. He wondered if she could hear him speaking with the system, but it was an exclusive channel in his mind.
'Do your thing.'
[Sure]

Hello everyone! Longer chapter than usual, enjoy.
About the way she speaks, it's similar to Shakespearean English, which sounds weird now. If you want the exact sentences in regular English I can post them in a comment or in this author note.
