The fight against the angels and the dark dragons are proceeding in a slow pace. The angels are mainly defending against the array of dark attribute magic being slinged towards them. The attacks of the dark dragon king are blocked by Mikhail and Gabriel as his spells are overpowering to the point that it could kill an angel should they get hit once.
Gabriel knew that the dark dragon king is powerful but not this powerful. He then saw the presence that might be the reason for the sudden power spike of the dragons. The presence of the Mother of Dragons at the heart of the dragon formation made her difficult to attack.
"It seems that the dragons are gaining more power when they are near her." Gabriel communicated to Mikhail via telepathy.
"Killing her would deal a huge blow to these overgrown lizards. That should be easily done." Mikhail replied.
"Are you sure? Attacking her would mean waging war on the dragons. She is their most revered person as of now and using any act of aggression against her is basically admitting that we sent someone to kill her." Gabriel stated but Mikhail smiled.
Gabriel knew what Mikhail's smile meant. To others, Mikhail's smile might look beautiful as he is the most beautiful of them all, but it is different for to Gabriel. He knows that Mikhail's smile really meant something else, and it meant that he sent an angel to kill the Mother of Dragons.
"Does it even make a difference now that the lizards are all enraged? Killing her before is not different to killing her now. I should make an example of her by hanging her head in our gates." Mikhail stated but Gabriel feared what will happen to them should the dragons become their enemies.
Gabriel knew the benefits of the relationship with the dragons as they could use the skies of the dragon's territories. The skies of the territory of dragons are not monitored by the demons which is why it is easy to make deals there. If they do not maintain the relationship, then they will no longer be able to become covert.
The demons cannot easily attack the angels as well since they have a mutual relationship with the dragons. The angels might not want to accept it, but they are still very vulnerable as of now. They have yet to return back to their peak forms. Even Mikhail only has about more than half of his power when he was in his prime.
"No need to worry that much, Gabriel. The treasures that we got are steadily restoring the energies of all the angels. We also have the power of faith that is being thrown to us by those useless mortal pigs. It will only take a week before we return back to our peaks." Mikhail stated.
Gabriel could only nod as he knows that Mikhail will not tolerate any resistance towards him. If Mikhail says that it takes them one week then it will take a week. If he says that they no longer need the beneficial relationship with the dragons, then they no longer need it.
"If that is what you say then it is final. The other angels are already growing tired of giving out treasure to the dragons anyways. I believe it is the leader's job to light the way so please start it by killing that lizard disguising itself as a human woman." Gabriel stated as they had to bribe the dragons for this beneficial relationship. He is also getting tired of the angel treasury getting slowly whittled down. A robber does not like another robber stealing their stuff after all.
"Gladly! I shall light up the way! Flare Nova!" Mikhail stated as he gathered immense light energy in his hands.
"Get behind me!" Ark stated as he created multiple layers of protective spells on his body to defend Basil.
Basil is the reason why they are currently getting the upper hand. The only reason that they are not totally winning is due to the fact that the angels outnumber the dragons. If the dragons and angels had equal number, then the dragons would have dominated them from the start.
"Mikhail! Zadkiel said that the sun disk has been stolen and a dragon is wreaking havoc inside the city." Gabriel reported.
"So, they managed to sneak inside like a lizard. As expected of these vermin. I shall not give them any pity. Deal with the intruder while I finish these pests off." Mikhail stated but a flurry of arrows coated in death energy are sent flying towards him which Gabriel deflected with light barriers.
Mikhail cannot move as he is casting Flare Nova which brings down a giant ball of flaming light to an area of his choosing. Gabriel needed to stop the arrows from reaching Mikhail because his casting might get cancelled. Gabriel could feel the immense heaviness of the status ailment present in those arrows that could incapacitate Mikhail for a quarter second.
"Even weak flies try to attack me now. How have we fallen this low! It is time to kill all those that attacked us to send a message." Mikhail stated as he tossed the flaming sun towards the largest bunch of dark dragons.
"Dragons! Use your breaths!" Drakness Tenebrosus commanded as all the dragons gathered their breath attacks and launched it towards the flaming sun headed towards them.
The flaming nova and the dragon breaths clashed against each other and created a powerful shockwave that blew some of the dragons away. Just as the smoke was clearing out, a beam of light came shooting through the smoke with Basil as the aim. Basil will not be able to dodge in time which is why Shock, her lightning dragon, took the hit for her.
Shock immediately turned to particles of light once the light beam hit him, but it was still headed towards Basil. Pana wanted to pull his bow to create a shield arrow, but he is not fast enough. As if predicting this would happen, Ark suddenly came in front of Basil with Light and Dark Shield.
The light beam hit Ark's Light Shield, but it shattered immediately. The light beam then hit his Dark Shield and it showed some resistance because it trembled first before suddenly shattering like a mirror. Knowing that Basil will die, and their advantage being taken away upon her death, Ark immediately activated his skill that he received from the vampires.
"Darkness Armor!" Ark shouted as darkness descended upon him in a quick fashion.
The darkness that descended Ark immediately wrapped around his body and created a thick armor that protected him. But even this thick armor made of the darkness element was not enough to stop the attack. Ark resisted the beam of light for a few seconds before ultimately getting his darkness element armored shattered.
The beam of light then continued on, but Ark did not stop his duty of being his friend's protector. He tanked the beam of light with his body because he has Light Element Resistance. He did not even flinch as his own body tried blocking the attack of the Supreme Angel Mikhail. fr eewebn ovel.com
"I admit that you are great pathetic bug, but you will not be able to stand against my might." Mikhail scoffed but he suddenly ate his words.
The light beam that should have torn a hole through Ark's heart suddenly dissipated as it lost its power. Feeling the embarrassment of swallowing his own words, Mikhail launched a flurry of weaker light beams towards Ark. As if in a trance, Ark tanked all the hits that were supposed to hit Basil until he knelt on the dragon they are standing on.
Ark looked ragged and barely hanging on to life. Actually, he is already dead as parts of his body is already turning into particles of light. He looked at his hands as he is actually experiencing death for the first time in game.
"So much for our not dying promise." Ark stated as a notification suddenly appeared before his eyes.
[The Mark of N has sensed the user's upcoming death.]
[Activating the hidden power of the Mark of N due to the user fulfilling the exact conditions to activate the mark.]
[Exact Condition: Die at the hands of the most powerful Angel or Devil.]
[User will now start the transformation process to become the Chosen Nephilim.]
Ark does not know what he is reading, and he thought that it might be hallucinations. He suddenly felt a power surging inside of him as the mark given to him by the two sisters started to feel hot. The mark that as located on his hands suddenly crept towards his heart and embedded to it.
Ark screamed in pain as a throbbing sensation could be felt in his chest. He feels like someone is personally squeezing his heart when three sets of illusory wings appeared behind his back. The set of wings on the right looked light angel wings while the set on the left looked like devil wings.
