Another month passed and today was already the fourth month since the apocalypse. If it were before this four months might not be that too long but for the creatures on earth who was always in the line between life and death. This four months felt like decades for them
At this time, Sun was still on a rooftop with eyes close and cultivating. He was still greedily absorbing the Envy Energy from the depths of earth. As the first three Ranks of Supernatural Ranks only need you to absorb energy no matter what their attribute is this boosted his cultivation speed. Now, the amount of Hell Flame attribute and Envy attribute inside his body was almost the same amount. Only, he was puzzled why the amount of hell flame energy particles in the atmosphere was too sparse compared to other elements like fire, water, earth etc.
Finally, the moment that Sun was waiting for a month finally came. Some cracks started appearing on the barrier separating him from the next rank. Sun controlled his envy energy and hell flame energy to slam on the barrier and destroy it
Spider web cracks appeared on the barrier and with the amount of energy that was gushing into it in no time it was finally destroyed. The sparse hell flame energy on the surrounding filled every nook and cranny of his body
His body glowed with black light and he happily accepted all the energy entering on his body. As envy energy only came from the people feeling envy and the place where he can connect his mind to . Sun's body can't passively absorb envy energy from the surrounding
Nonetheless, breaking through to the mid stage of Grand Knight Rank was still a huge step. The rise in power was more than what he experienced before
He can't help but let out a moan of satisfaction at how the energy makes him stronger. After breaking through, Sun stretched his body and cracking sounds were made by it
Sun opened his eyes and glance coldly at a certain direction. His pitch black wings unfolded and he flew in the air. From the confidence that he got from breaking through, for him this was the time for his revenge
Revenge on the fallens who almost killed his grandpa Derry. He might not be able to kill all the fallens in the city in one try but he can reduce their number. Although he can get help from their organization 'Satan's Hand' but this was something he wanted to do on his own
When Sun finally reached the city he flew on the center of it where the density of fallens were much higher than the other area. At the same time that he arrived at the city of the fallens, without him knowing a gaze locked on him
"He's here!" The three meter tall and fat Mother Fallen said with some fear at Sun's growth rate. "He's already at the mid stage of Grand Knight Rank!" This time the Mother Fallen was angry
"The heavens is unfair! How can they favor someone this much" the Mother Fallen's voice was filled with indignation. For him the heavens was really unfair. If not for the heavens favoring Sun how can he have the power he has now that easily?
Even the top leaders of the various cities just reached the third rank and was still stabilizing their strenght. However, not only was he in the third rank but he was also in the mid stage of it!
It might only be the difference of a small stage but even then he was sure that Sun was as powerful as a peak stage Grand Knight. All of this was because of the heavens favoring him, how can this be not unfair?
"This is now or never!" If he let Sun escape now perhaps when he come back again he would already be in the fourth rank. If that happens he don't stand a chance against him. Even if they are in the same rank Sun is a Sin Demon while he was just a fallen that cannot even use his power. His power was sealed by that damnable Angel
Commanding the army of fallens with his mind, he ordered all the flying type fallens that are in the warrior rank to fight Sun. He decided to use cannon fodder first to make Sun expend his energy reserves
Woosh
The sound of wings flapping in the air was made and about a thousand flying type Warrior Rank Fallens charged towards Sun. With a line up like this not even a Grand Knight Supernatural would dare to fight head on alone
However, Sun was not afraid. He may not be able to kill all of them but he was confident that he can escape if he wants to
Sun's black colored grimoire appeared in mid air and furiously turned into a certain page. "[Hell Flame Magic: Hell Flame Shower!]"
Above them about a hundred small sparks of black flame descended down towards the fallens. All fallens that was unlucky to be targeted by these fires were immediately reduced into ashes that the wind carried away. Only a few seconds passed and yet a hundred fallens were already killed without even leaving damage to Sun
"Weak!" Sun sneered at how weak these fallens are, he only used a single spell yet one tenth of them were already killed. The fallens roared angrily and continued charging at him while the others either spat out gray fog or gray colored light beams
The flying nighmare fallens were the ones that attacked using the gray fog and Sun was not willing to be hit by those fogs. These nightmare fallens has the ability to heal or make someone a fallen using their gray cloud attacks and he was not willing to test if he too will become a fallen
"[Hell Flame Magic: Hell Flame Barrier!]" When the gray clouds met the barrier of flames it was quickly burned into gray smokes and vanished. Even the energy beam attacks of the other fallens didn't made any harm to Sun
Unfortunately, there was still power in numbers. Out of the thousand fallens half of it was melee type fallens with slightly muscular body. Four hundred of them can use energy long range attacks and the last one hundred are the Nightmare Fallens
The attack of five hundred fallens was something that even sun has to take seriously. He was forced to pour more energy on the barrier so that none of those attacks will harm him
When he finally protected himself on those five hundred attacks the barrier immediately shattered and vanished. Sun panted heavily, it seems like he was still too overconfident. The quantity of the fallens were too much for him to handle, not to mention the higher ranking ones still didn't enter the scene. However, he won't let himself go back by only killing a hundred low rank Fallens. He was not being overconfident in this one but he still has the confidence on leaving this place alive
"[Hell Flame Magic: Hell Flame Charge!]" On Sun's pitch black demonic wings black flames burned on it that made his flying speed faster than before
Sun ignored the melee type fallens for now and circled around to fly in the direction of where the long range attackers are. "[Hell Flame Magic: Demonic Serpents!]"
Five life like black serpents made from fire appeared and charges towards the Nightmare Fallens. He serpents easily pierced the fallens on their head thus killing them. Sun controlled the serpents and after killing one fallens each it still retained lot of its energy. The serpents continued and swam in the air, with their fast speed and nimble movements they managed to kill three fallens each
In just another more than tens of seconds an additional fifteen fallens died without a corpse as the flames that the serpents left on the fallens continued burning and turned them into ashes
Naturally, the fallens won't just let their kind die like that. The melee type fallens turned back and flew towards Sun. The four hunred fallens on the other hand shot out another round of their energy beams
Sun this time didn't plan to block all these attacks. Instead, he continued flying towards the center of the nightmare fallens. Sun once again protected himself with the Hell Flame Barrier but this time the energy expenditure was not that high as not all the fallens' attacks landed on him
He managed to dodge most of it. Upon reaching the center of the Nightmare Fallens, Sun smirked evilly. "[Hell Flame Magic: Hell Flame Shower!]"
Another rain of black sparks of flame descended down and all of them landed on the Nightmare Fallens. When they come into contact with the black flames their faith were already sealed. All of them died a horrible death in just a matter of few seconds
If this continued, Sun might be able to barely kill a thousand fallens by himself thanks to his powerful AoE skill. Imagine only a single spark of flame was needed to turn these Warrior Rank Fallens into ash whether they are in the early stage, the mid stage or even a peak stage and was only a single step away from the Knight Rank
At this time the remaining long range attacker fallens flew away from Sun and they mixed with the melee attackers. Sun narrowed his eyes, it's either these fallens has some intelligence or there was someone controlling them
Sun believed it was the latter, he fought with Warrior Rank and Knight Rank fallens outside a city that became a fallen's nest. However, none of them possessed any intelligence. Only the fallens he fought in this city can make rational decisions
Even if that was the case, Sun was not afraid. Just a single AoE attack of his can kill a hundred of them, he can just cast it until they all died
"[Hell Flame Magic: Hell Flame Shower!]" If it were a human army seeing a hundred sparks of fire that can kill them once it rouch them their formation would surely crumble. Any human army would feel fear and will not be willing to sacrifice their life to what it looks like a hopeless battle
Fallens however are different, they don't have enough intelligence to think like a human. Even their decisions now was only because of the Mother Fallen's control over them
Another massacre happened and the fallen's number was reduce by a hundred again. This made the Mother Fallen's anger to rise. He thought that even if Sun was powerful he was still only a Rank 3 Supernatural and can be killed by the superior number of even just a thousand warrior rank fallens
Too bad, Sun proved that he was wrong. The fallens that the hateful Sin Demon killed might all be lower ranked but they had the greatest number! He need these fallens to destroy human cities. If he knew that Sun would come here this early and powerful he would make more flying type fallens
Giving birth to flying type fallens was more demanding than giving birth to a land type fallen in the same Rank. He still have more Warrior Rank Fallens that can fly in his disposal but that will just cause more casualties
He can't accept having more of his subordinates to be killed, lesser number of fallens means that he has lesser chance on achieving his goal
With that thought the Mother Fallen commanded five hundred Knight Rank Fallens and they all flew in the air to join the cruel battle
Sun sensed powerful auras coming to him and he looked at these fallens coming in all direction. He suddenly find himself surrounded by more than a thousand fallens
"I'll just kill as many as I can before escaping"
This just proved that there was someone controlling these fallens. If the fallens just have a bit of intelligence they would all come to attack and kill him all at once but they didn't do that. Instead when the casualties become high the controller immediately sent reinforcements. Who knows what sort of creature was hiding in this city, Sun don't want to linger much here and decided to kill as many as he can before leaving
