Chapter 325 - A Clean Up To Do Part 1
*NEFFEX - SOMETHING YOU COULD NEVER OWN *
The strategy Calcer used was rather simple; he either supported Gaia and the Executives, or submerged himself calmly inside his sea of blood.
Right now, he was doing his role in supporting Gaia. After working together for some time, they were extremely close to bringing the last of the angels -that were ranked at Star Five- to extinction.
With an extremely serious gaze, unlike his usual silly self, Calcer waved his hand towards the last group of Star Five angels.
With his seemingly simple move, his blood red short sword -that was strangely flying next to him- suddenly descended from the sky like a meteor while changing its shape.
From a short sword, it started twitching and expanding until it formed a giant and violent blood red python with dangerous scarlet eyes and extremely sharp fangs.
Opening its massive set of jaws, the blood python approached the last of the Star Five angels that were trapped inside Gaia's Gravity Field, like lightning, and swallowed them whole!
Having had its meal, the python quickly returned to Calcer's side and coiled around him as if it was his pet snake, even though it was countless times larger than him, dwarfing him.
"Good job!" Gaia said while flying over. "We're finally done with those, you take your time digesting all of that. I'll have to focus on the rest still. You should prepare for more food to come your way!"
"Hehe I know, I got this!" He suddenly replied with his usual silly grin. Gaia relaxed as she saw it, and with a thumbs up, she headed towards a nearby battlefield.
Although she technically didn't need to control a small clone to fight as she mostly relied on elemental Titans to help with the killing, she still depended on the small clone for normal talks and most importantly for her Gravity Magic.
With her smaller body as the anchor for her skill, she can activate a rather strong and precise Gravity Field, which is exactly what everyone needs now! That's why, although her body is the entirety of planet Earth, her small clones must keep roaming around.
Watching her leave with a smile, Calcer snapped his fingers, urging the blood python to spit out some scattered sets of pure white bones.
Urging the spatial storage inside his bracelet, he collected them into his never ending piles of angel bones. Needless to say, those bones were extremely strong and sturdy as they contained some immense power.
"Haha, although these bones are of no use for me, I can gift them to Lady Kayla," he suddenly muttered to himself with a chuckle. "After this is all over, I would be able to gift them to Lady Kayla.
"With her personality, I am pretty sure that she'll put them to some good use. And maybe then she'll praise me, hehe…
"Hm, with that being said," he quickly collected his scattered thoughts. "I need to focus on the next battle."
Looking over to the Daemon Executives, Calcer smiled while watching them fighting off against the Star Ten angels. Although their ranks were inferior, their strength was not anything to scoff at.
Lord Abbadon was fending off against four Star Ten angels by himself. His shadowy frightening true form was radiating with immeasurable power. Although the current Calcer himself was stronger than him, he could not help but feel a chill running down his spine each time Lord Abbadon landed an attack.
It seemed like with each of his strikes, the angels would lose a portion of their strength, as though their power was getting banished into the depths of the void; of course, this was the work of Abbadon's skill: Execution.
With that being said, four Star Ten angels would have been extremely difficult for him if it wasn't for them lacking spirituality. Not to mention that Gaia was skillfully controlling her Gravity Field and in order to provide him and the rest of the Executives with some advantage over the angels and ensure they get the upper hand.
Unlike Abbadon, Maeve and her legion of Devil Beats were only able to fight against three Star Ten angels. With that being said, they had full control over their battle.
Under Maeve's control -and her skill: Judge's Domain- the angels were being held inside a massive blue mana ring. Inside this ring, it seemed as though the angels were being judged for their sins, ironically.
While the angels were barely able to stay alive, the Devil Beast legion was roaming and striking freely and in a relaxed manner.
Similarly, the other three Executives were not messing around;
Bel, with his Dark Angel Puppets, was fighting off against three angels. He was especially playing it slowly in hopes of converting at least one of his opponents into another puppet of his.
Levi -whose body looked rather ghostly and ethereal, thanks to her being Raven's Ghostly Assassin- was surrounded with countless shining weapons that were floating around her like loyal soldiers. With each wave of her hand, a slash would appear on the flesh of one of her three opponents.
Aamon, unlike the rest of the Executives, seemed to be unable to handle himself: he was merely defending against the attacks of three Star Ten angels… However, that was only what it 'seemed like'.
In fact, he had full control over the battle; his skillset just made him a different type of fighter. With his skill, Draining Shield, he can receive attacks and use them to accumulate raw energy.
After enough accumulation, this energy would be enough for him to wipe his enemies. With that being said, the three Star Ten angels that were up against him didn't make it easy to retaliate!
Lastly, Keith, who had overcome the rank of Star Ten and reached beyond, was fighting against the last four Star Ten angels.
Chains of dark red blood were surrounding his enemies, rendering their wings useless, and trapping them inside his zone of effect.
Although his blood control wasn't as good as Calcer, it was still one of his main specialties. As a matter of fact, if he wasn't saving these angels for Calcer, he would have swallowed them himself.
Scott, who was panting on the side of the battlefield, watching the Daemons fighting bravely, could not help but feel helpless.
Although he was trained by Tu for a short period of time and got better at using his special pair of eyes: Cosmic Inclination, it was still far from efficient!
At the moment, he is limited to a couple of uses before running out of energy. Not only that, but even those uses can't be exaggerated. At most, he could manipulate the space around one Star Ten angel for a few seconds to prevent an injury for the main fighter.
Needless to say, he was not happy nor satisfied. But he could only bury this feeling of incompetence in his heart while still trying to improve himself.
Seeing all of that, Calcer smiled and quickly jumped onto the blood python's head. "Let's go, break is over; it's time for us to get to work!"
…
As that was taking place, two other battles were going on full swing.
On one side, the Cyber Elites were fighting against one Star Fifteen angel. And on the other side, the Raven's Guards were fending off against the other.
"Amira, she needs your help!" Erin, the leader of the Cyber Elites, suddenly yelled while handing a little girl his precious Jina -his girlfriend- who was injured during the fight, resulting in her losing her consciousness.
"On it!" Amira, the little healer, replied quickly as her warm mana enveloped the girl that was pushed inside her arms. "Be careful, don't get reckless!"
Receiving her response with a comforting nod, Erin quickly disappeared from his spot and continued attacking the Star Fifteen angel that was up against his team.
With his broadsword Lightning in his hand, true lightning surging around him as if to make it clear that he had been truly angered. Slowly, his aura started climbing up to new heights.
'Jina, why did you push yourself so hard?' Amira cried silently after Erin left her with the unconscious girl. 'You promised that you'd be more careful…'
Although she was an elite, she was still a young girl that could not help but feel extremely suffocated while handling her friends.
'But that's okay…' she tried to comfort herself. 'You are our tanker that always gets hurt while protecting us, and I am your healer who will always fix you right up!'
With her unique and extremely sturdy mana shields, Jina was assigned as their tanker, their protector. That meant that out of everyone on the field, she was the one who was destined to get hurt the most, which always broke Amira's heart.
With that being said, Amira has always been a girl who hated seeing her friends get hurt, which contributed to her becoming an extremely proficient healer.
