Chapter 351: Power of a peak Angel (Part 2)
The reason colonel Darius had decided that he, Major Reeves, and Brock Ulrik were to fight the emperor rank beasts outside the city barrier was to make sure the barrier and humans didn’t suffer from collateral damages from high-level battles.
So far the fire salamander Wyrmling had fired enough spells to put multiple holes in the city barrier or to turn a large portion of the new forest into a wasteland. All these had been averted thanks to colonel Darius who had continuously snuffed them out of existence.
It was because of this that the emperor rank fire salamander had decided to take a close-quarter approach since the human didn’t seem to be a physical type and the air elent gave it a massive boost to its speed.
It was correct about Darius not being a physical fighter, but who said close-quarters combat was his weakness?
Creation pathway: Fire Scutum!
Imdiately the fire salamander saw an opportunity and had gone in for the kill, its razor-edged claws had clashed with a solid fire construct, instantly halting its advance without even leaving.
DING!
.....
Before the sound waves produced from the clash could move a ter away from them, a hole big enough for Darius’ index finger appeared.
Destruction pathway: Torpedo droplet!
A drop of water ford at the tip of his finger covered by the thin layer of water, but before it could be fired the fire salamander had sensed the amount of power contained in the drop and imdiately backed out of the black smoke’s range.
‘Should have seen this coming, but anyways it doesn’t matter.’ Darius thought as the fire salamander made the entire cloud of black smoke explode.
BOOM!
The explosion was so large and deafening that both the humans and beasts behind the city wall were rocked by the resultant shockwave causing everyone to pause and look at the source of the explosion.
The fire salamander was star-struck when the smoke had cleared up. It couldn’t believe its eyes that the human was floating at the sa spot unscathed. Even the layer of water protecting him hadn’t been damaged at all.
With its centuries of experience, the fire salamander was quick enough to snap out of it and began charging a fire spell.
The tier 1 emperor beast opened its mouth as a small concentrated ball of fire was forming a few inches away from his mouth. Once fully charged, the fire salamander released the compressed energy.
BOOM!
The small ball of fire released a beam of fire the twice the size of the fire salamander at Colonel Darius who didn’t seem to be moving anyti soon.
Fusion Magic: Greater Extinguisher
Instead of clicking his fingers, Darius placed his right hand in front forming a barrier that continuously extinguished the stream of scorching poisonous flas coming at him.
The only reason he hadn’t moved out of the way was that the beam of flas would have destroyed part of the city barrier if he didn’t block or extinguish it.
The fire salamander had sensed his flas weren’t dealing any damage so it began conjuring 3 more of the concentrated ball of fire. That was when the entire beam of fire right to the ball of flas generating it extinguished and Colonel Darius appeared right in front of it.
“Checkmate!” With his finger placed like a gun, Darius fired a torpedo droplet at the fire salamander’s head.
The water droplet pierced through its skull like a hot knife through butter, causing the 25ft body of the wyvern to explode into a rain of blood that lted the forest below.
“Seems like these beasts are growing steel balls.” Colonel Darius couldn’t understand why a tier 1 emperor beasts would want to fight a peak angel.
Darius was appointed the colonel of Calton city not only because of his insane mastery over the fire and water elents but because he was considered a top-tier genius. He had lived less than a century but had already gotten to the peak of the Angel realm with a foot into the Battle Angel realm.
(AN: For all those that have forgotten the realms. Human, Warrior, Champion, Hero, Demigod, Angel, Battle Angel, Deity, and All-Father.)
...
Right from the explosion of the black cloud to the beam of fire. Those on the wall had been keeping a tab on the battle going on outside the city barrier.
When they saw the body of the Wyrmling explode, the entire wall scread in joy as its death counted as a major win for the humans. The morale of the human army had instantly skyrocketed as their ‘champion’ had defeated that of the beasts in less than 5 minutes!
‘Is he at the peak of the Angel realm?!’ Blake didn’t have much knowledge about either the angel realm or emperor rank, but he knew one shouldn’t be dog-walked like that if they were close to or on the sa power level.
The battle was so one-sided that Colonel hadn’t taken damage, and from what it looked like, he had been holding back from the beginning.
[That is the only explanation. The level of power between each tier of realm increases exponentially as one goes up the pathway.] The system said.
‘You told that I should be more scared of Colonel Darius than the beasts. So how did you know when you can’t sense his realm?’ Blake asked.
[Calton city has multiple Angels like Reeves, professor Hoffenheim, Zirrack, and Walden. So for Darius to still be the head of the military, it ans he is surely stronger.
Also, the southern wall is the most dangerous wall but they had only deployed 2 peak demigods and Angel. It just doesn’t make sense.] The system explained.
...
Back outside the wall. The fire salamander was dead, but Colonel Darius hadn’t left the area.
“Why don’t you co out so we can end this quickly?” Darius said with an indifferent expression.
