Chereads / DxD: King of Salt / Chapter 16 - Chapter 15

Chapter 16 - Chapter 15

(A/N: For comparison, Angels and God's are of similar body size to humans while Titans are, well, they are like the Titans from Attack on Titan. That is a comparison that you can understand.)

Zadkiel looked at the army coming his way as he smirked a little and then shot from his place. He reached the front of the Titans in a second and slashed the Titan in front of him. Golden blood, Ichor, flew out of the Titans body as he fell down. The other Titans around didn't take time to process what happened as next moment wind surrounded a few Titans for a second before their body is cut into pieces.

"Aaaahhh!" The Titans who had been cut a few seconds ago screamed in pain for one last time before falling on the ground dead.

Zadkiel then shot upwards as the resulting wind displacement caused a few Titans around him to be blown back. He stopped in the air and let go of his spears as they disappeared and then flames appeared in front of his palms as he then shot it like flamethrower's at the army. Hecate seeing the attack used magic to create water to take care of the fire.

'He used an element without using a magic circle, even I haven't gotten that good. Just how powerful is he?' Hecate thought to herself.

(A/N: I'll be putting her image here but I'm still not quite sure about her appearance so you can suggest what she could look like and I will tell my decision in another chapter.)

Steam was formed due to two opposing elements meeting in the air as it covered the army. Then Helios shot out into the air to attack Zadkiel but he is surprised to find that the angel isn't here.

"Where'd he go?" Helios asked himself as he looked around and tried to sense the angel.

"I'm right here." Zadkiel's voice said from behind him.

Helios around to find the angel with his right leg raised over his shoulder. He tried to attack with his sword but he wasn't able to as the angel's leg hit his left shoulder as the axe kick hit it's mark.

*Crack*

Helios' eyes widened in pain when he felt his bones, tendons and pretty much anything around his left shoulder breaking as the foot impacted his shoulder. He is then promptly sent to the ground as he screamed in pain. The Titans watched with wide eyes as he impacted the ground with a broken left shoulder with tears on his body as blood leaked out as he wasn't able to move.

"Brother!" Selene shouted in worry as she saw her brother being sent to the ground so easily.

(A/N: Here is the image of Selene.)

She is horrified when she saw the amount of damage that has been inflicted on her brothers body. He is bleeding profusely and most of his upper left shoulder is now rendered useless by the blow. Tears formed on the sides of her eyes when she saw the state of her brother.

"You care for him very much huh." Zadkiel said as he is sitting on her left shoulder.

Selene turned her head as she looked at him with shock. But that surprise was short lived as he disappeared and then she felt a force on her chest. She only had a moment to see that Zadkiel has punched her on her chest as she coughed Ichor before being sent flying away.

Zadkiel just smirked as he floated in the place and then raised his hand and caught a large club that was about to hit him. The Titan which used the weapon is shocked and scared when his attack was effortlessly stopped. He was thinking that he could take him out by surprise but it seems that that wasn't the case.

"At least make this a challenge. You're embarrassing yourselves." Zadkiel said before he promptly flew and kicked the Titan on his chest sending him flying as well.

He then disappeared and then one after another Titans started to be sent into the air by the force of his punches and some being cut and killed. Despite them being an army, they neither showed the strength or the experience of good warrior's as Zadkiel was easily going through their ranks as he killed Titans.

"This is madness." Nike said in fear as she is seeing her brethren being killed one after another.

'He's much stronger than us and he even has more experience than us. If he keeps on going like this then there won't be many Titans left.' Nike thought to herself in fear.

She watched as he killed a few more Titans before he disappeared. She looked around frantically for him in the battlefield.

"Did you find the angel?" Zadkiel asked floating beside her head.

"No, but he could come from anywhere." Nike responded sweating as she looked around.

She looked for 2 seconds before she realised something.

'Hold on, all the Titans I know of are down there. So... who's floating beside me?' Nike thought as she felt fear.

She slowly turned her head to left and froze when she found Zadkiel literally sitting in the air beside her with an innocent smile.

"Hello." Zadkiel greeted her with a cheerful face and smile.

Nike stayed silent for a few seconds before screaming in fear when she realised that the angel she was looking for is floating right beside her. And that was the only thing she could do before he gave her an axe kick which she blocked by crossing her arms in front of her.

She is then promptly sent to the ground as dust kicked out as she cried in pain. She then looked at her arms which were now broken and Ichor flowed out of them as she is now unable to use her arms. Her wings were also a bit damaged from the fall as she lay on the ground as she looked at Zadkiel floating above but this time he is looking at her with pity.

"You tried to stop this war so that is why I'm sparing you." Zadkiel said as he looked at her before turning his attention to the rest of the army.

He then flew down fast as he created a spear and brought it down on Iapetus, the Titan of Mortality as the Titan himself blocked the blow using his club. The ground cracked under the Titan in a wide circle as the Titan grit his teeth.

"You're the Titan of Mortality right. Let's see if you can control your own Mortality shall we?" Zadkiel said to him seriously before he jumped back.

He then brought his spear down on the Titan as he attacked with his club. But this time his spear went clean through the club as it's blade went through it. The Titan looked at his weapon in horror.

"Impossible. His Salt weapon cut mine made out of Celestial Bronze." Iapetus said in horror.

Zadkiel just smirked slightly as he looked at his spear. He then went to attack and the Titan this time attacked with his fist as Zadkiel appeared behind him. The next moment his entire right arm was cut into ribbons as he screamed in pain.

"You should've trained more." Zadkiel said to him as he raised his spear.

The Titans looked at him in fear. Zadkiel was about to kill the Titan but then...

*Stab*

Zadkiel gasped when he felt a blade stab him as the tip of a scythe appeared from his chest. He looked behind him and saw Kronos who is smirking at him.

"How's that?" Kronos said as he dug the blade deeper into his body.

"You..." Zadkiel said with anger as his spear fell out of his hand and lost its form.

The Titan army seeing this shouted in joy when they saw it. Nike and Hecate were wide eyed when they saw it while Selene looked shocked as she tended to her brother.

'How?' Nike, Hecate and Selene thought to themselves as they looked at the angel.

"This is the end. Witness my power as the Titan of Time." Kronos said to him as he activated his power.

The next moment Zadkiel glowed as his body is enveloped in light. He glowed as the Titans watched before the light stopped shining. They looked and saw that Zadkiel was now nowhere to be seen with only a few feathers were on the ground.

"That angel is dead." Kronos screamed as he raised his scythe over his head.

The other Titans followed their king as they also roared with happiness at the death of the angel. They were quite happy but then another voice caught their attention.

*Clap Clap Clap Clap*

The sound of someone clapping is heard as the Titans looked at where the sound is coming from. Their eyes widened and their jaws dropped when they saw Zadkiel clapping at them as he sat on top of a small corpse mountain of a few Titans.

"Impossible. I killed you. My power is absolute. I killed you. You're just an insignificant Angel, you're not even a deity!" Kronos said flabbergasted when he saw him to which Zadkiel just chuckled before looking at him with a smile full of mirth.

"Did you really think that killing me would be enough to make me die?" Zadkiel said to him with a serious face.

His response just shocked all the Titans present.

The Titans were shocked, scared, terrified, above all gobsmacked when they saw him. They just saw an angel come back to life after he was killed by their King, who killed him using his weapon which he had used to kill a Primordial God, but that same angel is now in front on them looking like nothing happened.

"So, I've killed at the least 60% of your army. So, shall we finish this?" Zadkiel said as he looked at them and gave a malicious smirk.
