Chereads / DxD: King of Salt / Chapter 18 - Chapter 17

Chapter 18 - Chapter 17

"Gaaah!" Kronos cried out in pain as he was flung through the battlefield and then fell on the ground.

Now he is very much damaged which is clear to see. His left arm is missing, a huge chunk of flesh of his right thigh is gone, his left leg seems to have been pierced a lot. He also has a few cuts on his face as well as on his right arm and chest. He bled Ichor as Zadkiel floated a few metres in front of him.

The other Titans were now scared shitless, now that Kronos, their most powerful warrior has been utterly defeated, Zadkiel can just kill all of them easily and no one will be able to do anything.

"You lack experience, skill, strength, magic, almost everything that is needed to become a skilled warrior." Zadkiel said as he brandished his scythe which grew in size and is now the same size as Kronos's Harpe.

Kronos's eyes widened when he saw it as Zadkiel raised his weapon. The other Titans also saw this and then Kronos's three brothers Hyperion, Crius, Coeus attacked him from long range. Zadkiel seeing this erected a barrier without even moving as it blocked their attacks.

'He's going to kill him.' Nike thought to herself as she looked at the spectacle.

"I don't know how you managed to kill your Father, the Primordial Ouranos, but as it stands you are not that powerful." Zadkiel said as he got ready to decapitate him.

Except that before he could a light green beam of condensed magical energy shot from behind the Titan Army and went straight to Zadkiel. His eyes widened when he saw it as he erected a barrier immediately, the beam hit it but instead of stopping there it managed to push him back.

Zadkiel opened his wings and stopped himself as the beam scattered around him and destroyed the ground around him. After it was done he was covered by dust which he removed with a flutter of his wings.

'That attack has a greater amount of magical energy than the ones used by these Titans. But more importantly, the power of the attack felt like it's of Primordial origin.' Zadkiel thought to himself as he looked straight ahead.

Kronos and his army looked behind them and then a light green beam shot out and then landed beside Kronos as it kicked up wind. It dissipated to show the one who is responsible for the attack which caused every Titan present to be left shocked as their mouths fell open, including Kronos. While Zadkiel narrowed his eyes as he made his scythe dissipate.

"Mother?" Kronos called out to the woman who appeared.

"M-My Lady!" The remaining of the Titan army kneeled in front of their mother.

"The Primordial Gaia." Zadkiel said as he looked at the woman. (A/N: I don't have any pic's for her so you can suggest.)

Said woman is two times larger than even Kronos which caused Zadkiel to seem like an ant in front of her. She has an aura around her as she opened her eyes and looked at Zadkiel with fury, then she looked at her son Kronos and her eyes turned into one of worry.

She kneeled beside her son and looked at his injuries, she then enveloped him in her energy and in a few moments all of Kronos's damages had been recovered. His whole left arm and his entire body is now back to normal.

'As expected of her. She is the Earth Mother so she has expertise in healing magic.' Zadkiel thought to himself.

After she was done healing she stood up. After motioning for the army to stand up she looked at Zadkiel with narrowed eyes.

"You dared to hurt my son." Gaia said with narrowed eye's as her eyes glowed and her aura rose.

"Your son attacked Heaven. Did you really think that we would stand by?" Zadkiel said to her as he rose his own aura.

Gaia seeing his action narrowed his eyes.

"Are you trying to compete against me? A Primordial being? I didn't think an angel would he so insolent as to believe that they would measure to a Primordial such as I." Gaia said to him.

"I have no interest in fighting you. If you would take your son and army then we can end this right here. But then again, if you wanted to end this battle you would've interfered sooner." Zadkiel said with narrowed eye's.

"What?" Gaia said with raised eyebrows.

"Do not play dumb. I know that you were watching this war, I had sensed it for sometime now and your appearance here proves it. Then I guess I should presume that you wish to support your son?" Zadkiel said though it was more of a statement than a question.

'Not to mention, I can still feel more being looking at here.' Zadkiel thought to himself.

"Of course, as his mother I will always support him. And now, you hurt my son, so you will have to bear with the consequences of your actions." Gaia said as she gathered more and more of her energy.

"Do you really think father wouldn't interfere?" Zadkiel said to her.

"Don't try to deceive me, I know of the pact between my creator Chaos with the other First Primordial's. He cannot interfere between the matters between his children with the other pantheons." Gaia said as the energy she gathered shot upwards and then started to fall like a million shooting star's going straight to him.

But as if it weren't enough she created large stone pillars and hurled them at him. And then after that huge vines sprouted out of the ground and went towards Zadkiel like Frenzy Plant from Pokemon. Zadkiel seeing the attacks just sighed as his body glowed as all of the attacks met him.

*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMM*

A huge explosion unlike any that the Titan had seen before appeared before their eyes as they looked at the power of the Primordial.

"That's the power of a primordial." Hecate said as she gulped in fear.

Kronos sported a smile when he saw it and Gaia also had a smile on her face. But then her eyes widened before she looked upwards. What she saw caused her eyes to widen and her mouth to hang open in utter shock.

"Impossible." Gaia said stunned.

"What happened Mother?" Kronos asked confused.

"I happened." Zadkiel's voice was heard above them.

Soon all the Titans looked up in fright and they all paled when they saw what is in the sky. Zadkiel is floating in the sky, but not one, not two, not three, but hundreds of him were in the sky as they all looked at them in unison. Some were crouching, some were sitting, some me standing, but all of them were looking at Gaia.

Then one Zadkiel stood in the middle in front of them as he raised his aura which managed to match that of Gaia's own which shocked her. The Titans were also scared when they saw it and then another thing happened.

*Thud Thud Thud Thud Thud Thud*

One by one the Titan's in the army fell on the ground unconscious, the sheel fear they felt at his presence caused them to become unconscious, the younger and 12 Titans watched as the remainder of their army were all now on the ground unconscious except for a few who fell on the ground but we're conscious.

"Did you think that I would not be able to match you? I was born from my Father just like you were from Chaos, we are of the same generation. As far as I'm concerned, the Titans are children." Zadkiel said to her.

Gaia grit her teeth in response as she gathered more of her power. She also placed a protective shield around herself as she gathered more power. Zadkiel seeing this narrowed his eyes and created a sword with the other's doing the same as well. Then they all shot towards the Earth Goddess as she attacked.

But they dodged and made it in front of them and in a swift motion all of the Zadkiel's flew past her in a split second and stopped.

*Slash Slash Slash Slash Slash Slash Slash Slash Slash Slash Slash Slash Slash Slash Slash Slash Slash Slash Slash Slash Slash Slash Slash Slash Slash Slash Slash Slash Slash Slash Slash Slash Slash Slash Slash Slash Slash Slash Slash Slash Slash Slash Slash Slash Slash Slash Slash Slash*

Slash after Slash appeared over her shield as she looked with wide eyes and then cracks appeared on them before it completely broke in front of the eyes of Gaia. Then all the Zadkiel flew around her and then created chains made of salt and used them to tie her up. Her arms and legs were pulled to her body as the Primordial Goddess is now bound.

"Now this is what is going to happen. You are going to take your children back to your territory. If you still try to fight against me, then you will suffer the same fate as your late husband." Zadkiel said to her with a glare.

Gaia just looked at him and knew that he wasn't joking around and seeing how she is right now she knew that she couldn't defeat him. His strength reminded her of her husband's which terrified.

'I never imagined that an angel would have this much power.' Gaia thought to herself.

"Fine, me and my children will forfeit from this war." Gaia said to him.

"Good. But before that I need to teach your son something." Zadkiel said as he flew towards Kronos.

"What?" Gaia said surprised.

Kronos watched as Zadkiel reached him, he swung his scythe in a vain attempt to keep him away but Zadkiel merely grabbed the weapon. He felt the aura of the weapon as he looked at it.

'Aren't you interesting.' Zadkiel thought to himself.

He then grabbed the scythe and yanked it out of the Titans hand. He felt that the scythe didn't even struggle when he had taken it from its master and is now in his hand. He swung it a few times and then looked at Kronos who is now terrified.

"Take this as a remainder." Zadkiel said as he poured his own holy power into the scythe.

Then in one fell swoop he cut Kronos on his chest twice with the scythe. A horizontal one and a vertical one, in other words, a cross. Kronos screamed in pain when he felt it as Ichor flowed out.

"My son!" Gaia cried when she heard him.

Zadkiel didn't pay it any heed and then looked at the scythe which is currently pulsing in his hand.

'So it likes me huh.' Zadkiel thought to himself.

He then planted the scythe right in front of Kronos before he flew away. While the scythe is good he didn't have any intention of taking a weapon that belonged to another pantheon. He then flew back away from the son of Ouranos.

His clones then disappeared and the salt chains also disappeared as Gaia was now freed. She immediately went to her son's side and used her powers on him, but to her shock the wounds didn't fade away, instead leaving a scar on his chest. She used her powers again but the scar remained.

Gaia turned and looked at Zadkiel as he looked at her.

"What did you do?" Gaia asked him.

"I gave him a remainder and a warning about what would happen if he were to attack Heaven again. Cause the next time it happens, he won't be alive." Zadkiel said to her.

Gaia just looked at him as she got up and turned to the army. Said army which were seeking how the angel, all those who were conscious that is, easily took care of Gaia wanted to be anywhere near the angel.

"All of my children, move back to our home right now! The war is over!" Gaia ordered them.

No sooner than she did all the Titans were immediately teleported away by Hecate. Nike looked at Zadkiel along with Selene, Helios, Hecate and the other 12 and younger Titans before they disappeared as well.

After that Gaia turned to her son who retrieved his scythe but for some reason he felt that it was resisting him. But he didn't dwell on it too much as he was then teleported away by Gaia.

Zadkiel looked at the battlefield which was now so damaged it was now barren. He turned around and flew to the castle, he snapped his fingers as light enveloped the castle as it was repaired. He was about to teleport away but then turned around and looked at the battlefield.

He made a ball of light on his right hand before throwing it upwards to the battlefield before he flashed away. The ball of light fell on the ground and then enveloped the entirety of the battlefield in light. After the light vanished the barren and war torn land was fixed to a point where it couldn't be said that a war even happened there. At the castle borders small vegetation started to grow along with many beautiful giving the castle a beautiful look.
