Just a few seconds ago, as Philip was agonizing in pain, Justine engaged in direct confrontation against Tenshi. She was alarmed once more and flew high above the air using her levitating black eagle or raven wings behind her back, under the Inferno Ring and Thirteen Discs of Cursed Prayers
As time went by, Tenshi's skills were slowly being named by an unknown concept. But according to the Rule of Conception and Theory of Literallity, if Tenshi's transformation was caused by the cursed finger, then just like her Fallen Angel transformation, this is her Cursed Angel transformation. The Heavenly Prayers are Cursed Prayers and the rings of fire are Inferno Rings, but the black wings are still not named because it just recently appeared
Justine raised her hands up in the sky and she harnessed the energy and vector of light and gathered wind around her. Those are the only energies and vectors that she can quickly manipulate for now. She made a giant shining ball of energy and immediately swing her arms down and launched the energy ball on the incoming Tenshi
Justine's red marks on his skin has already shown and her yellow-red hair were fluttering and hovering in the air. She then manipulated gravity and the magnetic force of the magnetosphere to push the energy ball down forcefully
In that short amount of time, she also manipulated subatomic particles and separated protons, electrons, and neutrons from compounds present in the air. She collected each of them and condensed them in one spot to create condensed orb of protons, electrons, and neutrons
The electron orb emitted massive amounts of photons, the proton orb absorbed heat and became as hot as plasma, and the neutron orb emitted a radioactive reaction from the air and light
She also threw the orbs towards Tenshi, behind the large energy ball. The neutron orb fused with the energy ball and it drastically became bigger, the proton ball passed through the enlarged energy ball while absorbing more heat, and the electron ball was emitting thick arcs of lightning and electricity that was surging around the enlarged energy ball, the air, and on Justine's body. Justine was unfazed by the heat and electric charge of the lightning
Chris then looked up and harnessed the power of the Sun to aim his hand at the enlarged energy ball
"Solar Enchantment: Sunshine"
The enlarged energy ball was then enveloped with yellow light and exerted a powerful blazing light
Tenshi bravely faced the incoming projectiles without stopping and raised the transformed shotgun in front of her and aimed it at the enchanted enlarged energy ball
"Trident..."
Tenshi named the new appearance of the shotgun as Trident and gave it power
"Anarchy Extinction"
The world suddenly turned red and everyone abruptly stopped as their eyes went wide. They were shocked and stunned by the sudden release of overwhelming power from Tenshi's words
The Trident shotgun emitted a sinister red light and four layers of Inferno Ring appeared in front of the barrel. These rings are the Resonance, Lethality, Anarchy, and Extinction Prayers, but the two Inferno Rings closer to Tenshi are overlapping each other
This is the combined power of the Anarchy and Extinction Prayers
The world slowed down in everyone's eyes. Justines began to lose control as she swung her arms forward and space itself wobbled from the trail of her arms and Tenshi is pressing the trigger of the Trident shotgun
The Trident shotgun blasted through and decimated the enchanted enlarged energy ball, along with the proton orb and electron orb. A giant explosion occured and Justine and Chris was swept by it
Another shockwave swept through the destroyed training room and pushed the walls inwards to the military facility. Gust of winds also swept across the area of the military facility and created a wind storm. Rubble and debris flew around the air and the proton orb scattered around the training room, causing several materials to increase in temperature and melt down, organic matter was immediately turned into ash and dust
Justine was gravely injured and her eyes abruptly turned red. The red color on the tips of her hair has grown halfway of her hair and the red marks has grown further into her legs and hands. Chris, on the other hand, was gravely injured and fell on his right knee, but he's still up and conscious
Mark is down and gritting his teeth on the corner of the wall. His right leg is broken and he was holding his left arm. Rue tried to crawl out of the ground but remained burried to temporarily protect herself, while Celine is trying to stand up after falling on the ground in the wrong way. She already is doing breathing techniques, ki circulation, blood relaxation, and bone healing arts to slowly heal her body
The swirl of energy and explosion in between Justine and Tenshi has dissipated and Justine lunged forwards down towards Tenshi
It was then that Justine abruptly stopped on her tracks after she felt that her power was dwindling down. The red coloring on her hair is receding and returning back to blonde, and the red markings has on her skin has disappeared
Justine was confused and she fell down, she lost control of the gravity and wind that lets her fly. Fortunately, she safely landed on the ground by some sheer luck. She then detected that Philip was looking at her
Philip was aiming his right hand at her in a gripping gesture. Philip was using the second level of Fate Control on Justine to cancel her transformation and liberate her from losing control. Her headaches have also disappeared and the trembling of her bidy has stopped
Philip's eyes are glowing gold and her hair turned black-gold. He then walked towards Justine and kneeled
"Justine, this needs to end and there's only one way I can stop this. I can't use Fate Control because of reasons that will be discussed later. So, I ask your persmission... Can I do it on Tenshi?"
Philip asked Justine with a calm bur slightly trembling voice. Justine widened her eyes and looked towards Tenshi
Tenshi was looking down on them as her wings are flapping. Justine closed her eyes and pondered for a moment. Ultimately, she has decided
"Yes"
"Are you sure?"
Philip wanted to make sure that Justine wanted it
"Yes... I have decided. I'm your number one anyways, right?"
Philip smiled and looked at Justine with melancholic eyes
"Yes you are"
Justine caught his melancholic eyes and she knew he was lying. Although, her heart doesn't seem to get hurt for some reason and she was confused. She knows that she should feel hurt or jealous, but that wasn't the case at all
It was then that Tenshi came down on the ground and faced Philip. More danger alarms were ringing in Tenshi's head than when she saw Justine
Philip stood back up and turned to face Tenshi. His eyes are serious, worried, and longing when he looked at Tenshi. Meanwhile, Tenshi's eyes are full of caution, worry, and fear
Philip then began to talk
"Tenshi..."
Before he could finish, Tenshi abruptly raised the Trident and aimed it at Philip
"Disaster Extinction!"
The world turned red again and flashed white when the black orb with black lighting appeared at the tip of the shotgun. The black orb became bigger and parts of the surface were dark red
Philip frowned and he snapped his left fingers. He had no choice because there is no chance he would be able to block or deflect this prayer. Chris and Justine were also behind him and they would be hit if he dodged
An audible sound reverberated throughout the destroyed training room and cancelled the prayer that was forming at the tip of the Trident
Tenshi was shocked beyond belief and she began to panic
"Sorry Tenshi, but the shotgun will have to go... I'll help make another one in the future"
Philip quickly swiped his glowing white right arm from his right to top left
"Sword Concept: Swordless Technique: Bond Severer"
The Trident shotgun was then cut into pieces right in Tenshi's hands. She was surprised that she jerked back and let the pieces fall on the ground. There was no reaction from the broken shotgun and it only released a red smoke
The resulting usage of the Sword Concept of that level has obliterated his hand. The blood swirling around his arm then converged at the stump on his wrist and formed another hand, albeit it's bloody and very red with no skin, muscles, or bones present at the moment
While Tenshi was stunned, Philip didn't waste anymore time and swiftly dashed in front of Tenshi. Before Tenshi could react, Philip quickly shifted his in front of Tenshi's face and held her chin with his left hand
"I'm going to save you again, Tenshi... So, regain your power and subside the aspect of curses"
Philip and Tenshi's lips interlocked and Philip engaged to kiss Tenshi
As he kissed Tenshi, an unbearable shock surged through Tenshi's body and woke her up. Philip has stimulated Tenshi's emotions and that confused the personality of the Cursed Angel. The Holy Angel woke up and overtook control of her body and slowly regained control
Her black hair returned to being blue-white, her outfit returned to beign what it's used to, the black wings turned into two chibi-like wings floating behind her back, the Inferno Ring turned to the Halo, and the black discs turned back to white and reduced their numbers to eight. Her red eyes also turned back to blue. The sky and everyone's perception of time has returned back to normal
But even if Tenshi has returned back to normal, she wasn't pulling away from Philip's lips. Philip was about to pull away but Tenshi wrapped her arms around his neck to lock him in place. Tenshi also seemed to become passionate about her kiss
Everyone that saw this scene looked at them with cold eyes, but Justine seemed to like it and wanted to join as she was blushing
Rue popped out of the ground like a mole and the earth around her turned to sand. She then casually climbed back up while limping and holding her right arm. Her eyepatch is also gone and she could be seen closing her right eye
A few seconds later, Tenshi let go of Philip's head and Philip took a few steps back. He immediately placed his left arm on his mouth to hide his embarrassment and mostly because it's too wet
Philip's pupils were swirling and he looked at Tenshi. She gave him a bright and cute smile that can make anyone fall for her. Her eyes were closed and smiling and her cheeks are tinted red
"Thanks for saving me!"
Philip then put his arm away and looked at his closed hand, he opened it and the cursed finger is on his hand. He pulled the cursed finger necklace out of Tenshi to not allow the Cursed Energy to seep into her being more
His right arm then started to feel very uncomfortable as loud cracking noises was generated. His arm also glowed brighter and the swirling blood spun faster. Philip fell on his knees and gritted his teeth from the resurfacing pain
It was then that a pair of hands and another hand touched the glowing arm
"Salvation"
It was Tenshi and Justine
Tenshi declared the Seventh Heavenly Prayer and helped healing his arm. Justine extended her right arm and helped circulate the blood and Mana across his arm
Justine and Tenshi turned their heads to look at each other. There were no hostility on their eyes, only recognition and camaraderie
Justine needs to recognize that Tenshi might become Philip's third lover, after Natsume, so she needs to trust her more and better. Tenshi also learned that Justine is somewhat special to Philip and that she may be below her. She ought to respect her as a friend and a comrade because there's a chance that they will be fighting together after that kiss with Philip
Several seconds later, the light on his arm shattered into glass shards and dissipatedin the air. His arm was restored from being decimated by the backfire of Sword Concept
The reason that whenever Philip were to use Sword Concept, it would backfire on him is because he recently lost his path on the sword and he couldn't understand the Sword Concept fully
'I need to understand the Sword Concept more!'
So far, he only comprehended that Sword Concept allows him to use all swords and swords skills, arts, techniques, and talents in the universe. He is correct, but that's just not to it. He needs to learn more about the Sword Concept and master it or else, he would break his body and existence, possibly cause self-destruction or collateral
After the light shattered, the blood around his arm kept on swirling and started to repair his hand. The blood coagulated and formed his hand, it contained the Mana necessary to fix his hand. With Justine's Energetic Vectorization and Tenshi's Salvation prayer, the bones were being made in realtime as the Spirit Fibers were also being repaired. Ligaments were repaired and neurons were connected. Tissues and muscles were reproduced and regenerated
In just a few moments, his hand was restored and the blood seeped back into his system. Tenshi watched the entire process with beaming eyes and Justine watched quietly
"Phew! That was an event!"
Philip sat down on the ground and let out a sigh of relief
"It sure is, I apologize"
"Don't apologize, it's not your fault and Rue didn't know... To which we will be talking about"
Philip turned his head and looked at the injured Chris. He stood up and shouted in the training room
"The mock battle is over!!! Everyone to the meeting room now!!!"
Chris was in a bad mood and he immediately walked towards the exit. His clothes are torn and his hair is ruffled. His injuries were slowly healing when the yellow aura is around him
Justine and Tenshi looked at Philip with confusion and interest. They then helped him to get up, Rue helped the injured Mark, and Celine has mostly healed herself using martial techniques and skills. Elaine was only watching from the control room this entire time and Sheena just woke up. E-1 has calmed down and lifted her head up to look at the surroundings
At this point, the mock battles has ended and Mark is not complaining at all. They then went to the meeting room
