249 Goodbye I (2/2)

'Just a little longer, the moment our plans succeed, the Magi will lose their guide, and slowly we will be able to dismantle their control over the continent.' The energy in Tomas's body exploded and the sword light his wings fired increased in power.

Zitra's eyes narrowed as she saw the rise in his opponent's strength. At the speed he burned his energy, he would not be able to last very long.

Just like Totto, she felt an impious presence in the eyes of the duke as they fought and her instincts told her that something was wrong.

However, she could not figure out what happened to him. Zitra thought that the best path was to make sure he would not be able to escape and pin him down.

Her weapons became more and more brutal and every time the attacks of Tomas or the two Angels of Supremacy got near her, she would disintegrate into strands of shadow, dodge them and then fire back with more power.

The rest of the Magi were able to handle one or at most two opponents, depending on their bloodline and how strong they were.

Each of the Fallen, on the other hand, could fight with at least two enemies and some of those with an Emperor bloodline could even fight two Angelic Paragons.

The most impressive of all was Nero. The seven winged Fallen was able to fight against six Angelic Paragons at the same time!.

He overwhelmed his adversaries, even though they had artifact armors and he did not. The Law Avatars of his opponents attacked from every single direction and the power in each of them was incredible but Nero's spear destroyed everything it touched.

His bloodline gave him an extremely powerful physique and the blue star behind the Fallen increased the might of attacks and also improved his body.

Nero could see the revulsion in the eyes of the warriors of the Heavenly race as they focused on his seventh wing. To them, that was a disgusting deformity but the Fallen couldn't care less about their opinion and his eyes burned with a blue light that represented his indomitable pride.

An Angelic Paragon that had transformed himself in a giant treant charged against the Nero, while rivers of poison and a deadly miasma attacked from behind.

The blue light in the spear shined so brightly that burned the eyes of the Angelic Paragons that saw it. Nero turned back and released an arc of energy that not only destroyed the poison and the miasma but also assaulted the ones that launched them.

The treant roared as it attempted to smash the seven winged Fallen with his humongous arm. Nero's eyes narrowed and performed a back kick.

The arm was hundred of meters large and the leg was almost invisible in comparison, but when the two crashed, it was the treant's hand the one that exploded and his entire body was launched backward.

Zatiel focused on the battle in the sky and it was clear that the Magi side overwhelmed the warriors of the Heavenly race.

This was thanks to Heinz, Nero, Zitra, and Totto. They not only took care of the three most powerful enemy warriors but also suppressed more than a third of the Rank 4 life forms of the Heavenly race.

Even though they were winning and it appeared they would be able to obtain a flawless victory, Zatiel's face was expressionless.

'I wonder when it will happen.' Zatiel's heart was in complete calm and nothing could affect him.

Without any warning or the slightest sound, the earth beneath the Neo-Demon liquified, and an Angelic Paragon with wings made of mud rose from it.

Zatiel was still looking at the battle in the sky. It seems that he did not notice the arrival of this man.

There was a layer of asphalt around the body of the Angelic Paragon and he was less than fifty meters away from Zatiel. To a Rank 4 life form, that was nothing and in less than a fraction of a second, he would be able to cover that distance.
