140 Midst of chaos (2/2)

Once he finished with the processing, he started to inscribe runes all around the periphery of the city, and due to the immense size of this one, he had to work for more than twelve hours without end.

Even with his Animus abilities, that extended period of intense concentration made his head feel like it was going to split apart.

Zatiel did not activate the rune formation immediately and first called Ezequiel, Sophia, Kilo, and Rax and instructed them to focus on recovering as much of their energy as possible before resting for one hour.

After resting and seeing that the others were better as well, Zatiel took a piece of Star Heart from his ring. This piece was one-fifth of the size of the original, but even so, the elemental chaos it was irradiating was impressive.

”Once I deposit this piece of Star Heart inside the rune formation, we need to run as fast as we can,” Zatiel's face was solemn as he said those words, and the other four became serious and had their energy ready to act.

Seeing that they were ready, Zatiel looked at the formation and the thousands of Heavenly race bodies inside it.

”Like a wise man once said, 'In the midst of chaos, there is also opportunity',” Excitement and coldness appeared in Zatiel's eyes as he smiled and placed the Star Heart inside the formation.

Once he did that, Zatiel along with Sophia, Ezequiel, Rax, and Kilo activated their spells, and flew away with their maximum speed, without waiting to see the effect of the rune formation.

The moment the Star Heart touched the rune formation, it melted inside it and slowly the runes started to fill with energy until the entire periphery of the city was shining.

The rune formation started to act and the bodies of the members of the Heavenly race began to decompose until a rotting liquid, in which some bodies could be seen, was formed.

The liquid gathered in the middle of the city and raised into the sky where it started to form a circle with thousands of meters in diameter, and with black ectoplasm in its center.

.......

In an area where hundreds of bodies of Angels could be seen torn apart and burned, was a Heavenly race army.

The army was composed purely with Angels of which five hundred were at Rank 1, thirty at Rank 2, five at Rank 3, and one at Rank 4.

The Angel at Rank 4 was different from the rest, as he had two pairs of wings, instead of one. He was part of the strongest type of Angel, an Angel of Supremacy.

His hair was white and his wings were made of solidified light and just like all members of the Heavenly race he was very attractive. But now his face was contorted by the hate he was feeling as he saw his people's mutilated bodies.

”Those invaders dare to kill our innocent people. I will show them the price of harming a member of the Heavenly race!” The rage on the man's eyes was burning with great intensity.

”My Lord! We have analyzed the area and according to our findings, the ones responsible for this hideous act were Archons. It seems that they were controlled by the enemy and they were carrying explosives,” The man who spoke a Rank 3 Angel and his expression was furious.

”They used those disgusting beasts to harm our people! Here my order, send the Rank 1 Angels to every city in a radius of five thousand kilometers and kills every Archon and native beast they can find. If someone asks why you are doing it, tell them it is an order from captain Janes.”

The man's cruelty was impressive, he was sure that those Archons were forced to act, but even so, gave the order to kill millions of them, and in the eyes of the army there was satisfaction.

”Also tell the men to make sure those beasts suffer before they...” Janes stopped his words and his entire body trembled for a second, and he looked at the distance with shock.

Disregarding the confusion on the faces of his people, Janes transformed into a stream of light and with an unimaginable speed, he vanished into the distance.

Jane's face was somber as he felt an ominous aura coming from the distance, and he was concerned as he knew that in that direction there was the city of Berrak.

The man's speed was beyond impressive and in a matter of minutes he was able to see the city, and his heart grew cold when he saw that gate made from the body of his people and from which thousands and thousands of beings were coming out.

He was someone with a great experience and has explored the void multiple times, so he immediately recognized those creature's origins.

”Demons!”
