Chapter 61 - Chapter 60

Looking at the more than a thousand fallen coming to him, Sun decided that this was the time to be a bit serious. "[Demonic Magic: Flaming Lance of Envy!]"

Sun's envy energy gathered around his right hand and formed a flaming lance. Fortunately for the fallens they don't have a mind the same as a human and they didn't felt the pressure from the Lance.

Sun made a slashing motion using his Lance and an arc of black light flew that cut all the fallens on its way to half. It doesn't matter if they are Warrior or Knight Rank Fallen, once they met the arc of black light all of them was killed in an instant

Just a single energy attack attack from Sun's Lance killed twenty fallens, if he has unlimited energy cannon folders would surely be ineffective to him

The fallens are also not push overs and the long range attackers fired their skills. Sun controlled his wings and he flew higher to dodge. Too bad this time the attacks from the Knight Rank Fallens was unlike the Warrior Rank ones. Their attacks didn't just flew in a straight line but instead chased him in the air

The Knight Rank Fallens that can attack from a distance numbered in about two hundred thus he need to defend himself from two hundred attacks. He was still not powerful enough to take it head on

Sun continue to fly but this time he descended and flew to the group of fallens. He tossed all the unfortunate fallens that he made contact with and use their body to take the blow from their comrades. If they were a human army this would surely make them lost their morale, how can they take that their fellow soldiers was killed not entirely because of their enemy but because of their own attacks?

Thus, Sun found a way to do an impossible feat. He might be able to kill all the fallens surrounding him by using the fallens as meat shields. He would only use the body of the melee attackers while letting the long range ones attack as long as they want. His strength was more than enough to toss any fallens here

Sun laughed widly while flying in the air and grabbing the fallens on his way to throw on the attacks coming to him. He felt a great sense of satisfaction seeing how many fallens were killed because of him

Contrary to Sun's delight the Mother Fallen on the other hand become even more furious. An unlucky fallen became an outlet for his anger and its brain was reduced into meat pulp. He already forgot that he sent those fallens to reduce casualties and here he is killing another one on his own

Sending a mental command more flying fallens flew in the air numbering in two thousands. Their numbers made the ground below to turn dark as their bodies blocked the sunlight from reaching the ground

This time Sun's face become grim, he can only use this tactic of his because he has a lot of room to move. However, with these two thousand fallen joining that makes things different

"[Hell Flame Magic: Hell Flame Barrier!]" Sun poured a lot of his energy on this barrier and a dome of black flame surrounded him. This will protect him from any incoming attacks

He closed his eyes and his mind travelled down deep below the earth's surface. He come into contact with that familiar ball of energy containing a sea of pure and endless amount of envy energy. Sun controlled these energy to enter his body

The word 'envy' on his forehead glowed with black light and crack like black lines spread from it. This time the word and the lines fully covered his whole forehead. Even Sun's body glowed with black light that came from the pure envy energy that was leaking out from his body

Sun's physical body was still not enough to take the burden of the energy this much and powerful, he was only able to barely use it thanks to the word 'envy' on his forehead.

His energy and physical strength skyrocketed. Although he was not as powerful as a Rank 4 Supernatural because the difference between Rank 3 and 4 was too large even then no normal Rank 3 Supernatural can beat him. Including those who are on the peak stage, this was thanks to how much pure envy energy was on his body

The envy energy gathered around the Flaming Lance of Envy causing the already powerful weapon to become even more powerful. "[Hell Flame Magic: Flame Charge!]"

Black colored flames burned on Sun's wings making his flying speed to be faster. He charged in a straight line while holding his lance in front of him. He was like a bulldozer destroying everything on its path. Any fallen that made a contact with his lance all met the same fate of death

As the fallens clustered around more than a hundred fallen was killed by Sun and a straight line devoid of any fallen was made. Sun looked back at the army of flying fallens and smirked at them. For him they have that much number but he was still able to get away from them

This was Sun's trump card, using the word on his forehead as a catalyst he can use the envy energy much purer and more in quantity than his own. His arrogance didn't last much before the roof of the tallest building at the center of the city was destroyed

From it came the three meter tall and fat Mother Fallen with an angered expression on his ugly face. He didn't have any wings but oddly enough he can fly as if it was a natural thing to do. The energy particles on the atmosphere was controlled by him that made him fly in the air

As the fallen used its power some white colored chain like tattoo appeared all over its body. The Mother Fallen's eyes locked towards Sun who pause mid air and looked at him with some fear

The presence alone of the fallen made Sun to feel powerless. He felt as if he was a mere commoner looking at a powerful Noble that can decide whether he live or not. The feeling was too suffocating and made Sun extremely uncomfortable. He hated this feeling, the feeling of your life was on the hands of other people

The feeling of being helpless because you are too weak. Aside from hate he also felt envy at how powerful this fallen is. Somehow ever since becoming a Sin Demon he always felt envy on those people who was stronger than him.

The Mother Fallen hold out his hand and clenched it. At the same time the energy particles on the surrounding that was normally docile towards Sun suddenly constricted his body. It was like he was carrying an entire mountain with his body. He can't even use his wings to fly and was only floating in mid air because the energy in the surrounding locked him on his place

Even the envy energy that was leaking out from his body dispersed into thin air. Sun gritted his teeth and tried moving, he forcefully circulated the energy on his body to resist. However, all it managed to do was cause internal injuries from the backlash. Although some blood moved towards his mouth but he can't even vomit it as he cannot control any part of his body

At the same time the Mother Fallen used its power the white chain tattoo on its body increased. The chain tattoos made it hard for the fallen to move. As long as he was using his power to lock Sun on his place the chains would increase until his body was fully covered with it

As he didn't want to waste any more time he sent a mental command to the surrounding fallens to kill Sun. The demon saw this and was unwilling to die that's why despite getting injured by trying to resist, he once again forcefully control his energy

Too bad as soon as he tried it come out from his body the energy in the surrounding will attack his energy causing it to dissipate. Sun roared madly on his mind

'I.WONT.DIE.HERE!' Thinking of the grief that will come to his Grandpa Derry when he died without the other knowing why and where increased his willpower. Too bad that in reality sometimes even if you have a lot of willpower in the face of true power that would be meaningless

Sun's energy was rampaging inside him causing numerous internal injuries. Some part of his body exploded and blood leaked out, soon his body was fully covered with his own blood but it still doesn't change anything on his situation. This time the fallens are only a few meters away from him

"Sister, we are finally here!" Annie hold her sister's hand in nervousness while looking at the city a few hundred meters away from them

In a month they finally reached the placed they were born, the place where their parents live. Both of them was overcome with nervousness, anticipation and happiness, this was the time when they will know if their parents were still alive or become filled with despair

However, when seeing that there were no city walls that was made to protect the city their happiness instantly turned into despair. All the cities that mankind successfully defended all has walls made around it. The walls will provide protection from the weaker fallens that cannot break it

A city having no city walls was almost certain to be a fallen's nest. "T-they are still alive right?" Annie asked while her voice cracked, there was almost a hundred percent chance that their parents are already killed and might even turn into a fallen by a Nightmare Falllen

"I'm sure they are alive!" Anna shakily took the metal sword on her waist and cut the rope connecting their horses to the carriage. She whipped the horse desperately and it sprinted to the city. Annie did the same and ride her horse to run to the city

The pair of sisters doesn't even care about the carriage that contained their food and water supplies. For now, the thing they needed the most was to confirm if their home city became a fallen's nest

The sisters were holding the reins on their horses tightly and ordering them to run faster. Their tears fell down from their eyes that the wind carried at how fast their horses were running but for them their speed was still too slow

As soon as they came into the outskirts of the city they saw that inside it was thousands and thousands of fallens wandering around. This broke the small thread of hope that they were desperately clutching

Silence reigned in the area while more tears came out from their eyes. Anna's lips parted and looked at the scene in front of her with despair

'Just why did this apocalypse has to happen?'

'We are living a comfortable life before all these things happened'

'They were such a great parents why can't they just live their life peacefully?'

Tons of questions assaulted Anna's mind, although he wanted to be strong for her little sister but in this situation she really can't. She hate this apocalypse that destroyed their small but happy family. She hate the fallens that killed humans and might possibly killed her parents too

With her mind clouded in rage she charged inside the city and attacked with all her might

"[Innate Skill: Thorny Vines!]" Three vines filled with thorns appeared on Anna's hand and she used it to whipped the fallens. Even though she broke their bones but a fallen can only be killed if you beheaded or destroyed its head

The surrounding fallens roared in anger and charged towards her. "Sister! What are you doing? Let's escape now!"

Annie seeing what her sister did cried out in fear. Thousands and thousands of fallens are eyeing them now and if they don't escape death will be their fate!

Fortunately, Anna's mind cleared up and she woke up from her anger and realized how stupid her actions was. They immediately hopped on their horses to leave. Good thing is their horses were faster or as fast as modern cars and they would be able to escape

However, suddenly thousands of fallen flew in the sky and  gathered around in an area. They looked up and trembled in fear because they thought that these fallens' targets were them but a few moments passed and black light pierced the clustered fallens

There, they saw a man with pitch black wings covered with an energy that aroused an emotion inside them flying in the sky while killing all fallens on his way
