231 Artifact armor (2/2)

They were not supposed to show themselves under any circumstance, but they could not allow their subordinates to die under their watch. They launched themselves to the sky in order to stop the arcs of red lightning and shadows.

Unfortunately for the trio, no good deed goes unpunished and the moment they rose to the sky, three men appeared on their path and took them by surprise.

One was a swordsman, the other a Lich, and the last one a seven winged Fallen. They had been waiting for the Angelic Paragons and before these ones could react, they broke the space near them.

They were sucked into that crack in space and launched thousands of kilometers upward. They all appeared at random locations.

This intervention stopped the leaders of the spy force from blocking the arcs of red lightning and they could only see how their subordinates exploded.

There was anger in the eyes of the three Angelic Paragons but also confusion. They all reached their positions thanks to their power and abilities.

Their skills have been honed in hundreds of battles in different worlds. They did not understand how the trio was not only able to find them but also to set an ambush.

Not even in their wildest dreams would they think the responsibility for the trap was a Rank 3 life form. Even though he was just a Rank 2 Animus, Zatiel's body and soul were powerful enough to withstand the backlash produced by predicting the future actions of three Rank 4 life forms.

But if it was not for his golden flames, he would be unconscious now and would need several weeks of recovering.

There was no need for words between the two parties, and they started to fight immediately. They released their Law Avatars and launched their most powerful attacks.

The Angelic Paragons needed to weaken their enemies fast enough to escape before their reinforcements reached this place, while Heinz, Totto, and Nero attempted to kill them.

The Cultivator and the other two had medallions that released a jamming signal that stopped the members of the Heavenly race from communicating with the rest of the army.

Nero faced the thin man with wings that resembled thick tree branches. Heinz and Totto faced the petite woman and the robust man, respectively.

The Law Avatar of the Angelic Paragon who faced Nero took the form of giant branches full of spikes.

The seven winged Fallen saw the immense branches that came at him with the sole intent of smashing him.

His response was fast and deadly. He channeled the blue light of his star into the spear on his hand and struck with all his power those branches.

Even though his spear was not even three meters long and the branches were thousands of meters wide, when they crashed, it was the Angelic Paragon's Law Avatar, the one that was shattered.

A blue spear light was released and crashed against the thin man, but in the last moment, his armor glowed and 70% of the attack was absorbed by it.

The Angelic Paragon felt his organs trembling and blood came out from his mouth. Those wounds were shallow and did not affect his fighting power.

Nero's eyes widened when he saw the wounds on his opponent. That attack had all his power and the only thing that was missing was him using his eighth wing.

He was sure he would at least be able to hurt him badly, but he did not lose time and launched himself at his opponent immediately.

Heinz and Totto were having the same problem. Their fighting power was higher than the one of their opponents, but every time they landed a blow, the armors would stop most of the damage.
