Chapter 2 - Chapter 2: Divergence of Convictions

"Oh Great protector what we shall do ? it seems I have slaughtered all the flock of sheep if only you were there sooner" said Mercurius.

Then Redues answered "Do you see humans as sheep!!".Redeus stood tall, his eyes blazing with fury as he knew that Mercurius wasn't just any ordinary that he faced before like low-ranking mages, thieves, monster and bandits who often tried to attack the village, but he knew that his enemy wasn't one to be looked down upon.

 Mercurius was a tall man about 6"2 ft in height in is early thirties as well for his appearance he was average, wearing a black suit with a cloak also complimenting his looks was a grey fedora hat along white gloves in his hands, for a minute there one who think Mercurius is just a businessman rather being an assassin who took all these precious lives.

The fiend had taken the lives of many innocent people in the village of Akreil, and Redeus was determined to make him pay for his crimes.

"Mercurius, how can you take human lives so lightly?" Redeus growled, his voice filled with anger and disgust. "These people had families, friends, and lives worth living. What gave you the right to take that away from them?

"Mercurius sneered at Redeus, a cold smile forming on his lips. "Who are you to speak of the value of human life, Redeus? You are nothing but just a tool created but the so-called gods with no free will of your own, just like the rest of those peasants in Akreil. Their lives are expendable, just like yours".

"Let me tell you something about this cruel world nothing is always based of equality? rather it is based on fate and technically speaking of such will is controlled by your so-called creators whether you like it or not these people were meant to die if it weren't for my hands maybe by another catastrophic end, so in simple terms thank me for being lenient enough for giving these people a proper death".

Hearing such despicable words Redues drew his out his sword to cut off "Mercurius" head but in an instant Redeus's had a vision of his head being cut off as he came to realization that his bodily instinct told him to withdraw and keep a distance from Mercurius for his abilities were unknown.

When Mercurius saw this, he had smile on his face and he laughed uncontrollably, and this confused Redues since he thought laughter only came upon joyful moments rather than from Chao's and death around Redues's was truly dumbfounded with a slight confusion of such humour?

Mercurius then said, " how amusing the pinnacle of the god's creation even this creature fears my ability am I truly meant to be a monster to bring chaos", What's more amusing is that there's more people with scary powers than I.

Even upon hearing from his enemy Redues jumped in without hesitation upon seeing that Mercurius was a threat which should not be considered to stay alive with a thought's moment Reduces cut off "Mercurius's hand this time Redues's didn't perceive any vision or his body reacting any abnormal way.

Mercurius's then started to scream in agony in pain as Redues was about to finish him off he saw a wide grin on "Mercurius's face then he then sighed " you thought finally am I going to kill this guy the end ugh dude is you stupid for a being near God tier you actually are stupid? as you cut off my right arm something didn't seem odd to you? "ugh"your so boring... oh well. time for you to die"...

As soon Mercurius's finished his words the whole atmosphere changed the air was more tense around the two, enough jokes were said.

"For the first time in ten years I'm going go all out huh" Mercurius said, he then pulled of his gloves on his hand, and he pointed his finger towards Redues then he said "Disorder " as soon the words were in the air Redues felt an unknown force pushing him and he hurtled towards a wooden workshop.

Redues's when he tried standing to regain his footing the only thing, he could do was cough and try to process what happened...

Whilst trying to process such a phenomenon Mercurius didn't waste any time he did the same finger trick again but this Redues's managed to prepare himself for the attack in a instant Redues's vanished in eye sight of fire of Mercurius then in a thoughts moment he appeared behind with an attack which would end this fight but he couldn't cause Redues' felt a force which was restraining him from giving a deceive blow to his opponents gut ,

but instead Redues's found himself being pushed against the ground by an invisible force which could be traced back to Mercurius who was point his pinkie finger down which seemed to be restraining Redues on the ground. If one were observing such events taking place it seems the law of psychics and gravitational pull didn't apply anymore when attacking Mercurius.

So Redues' had to get serious since his foe wasn't playing around anymore as Redues was gasping for air whilst pushing against gravity itself to stand straight to face his foe he let out a "a....r....r....gh " showing he was truly struggling to get up when he finally got up he reached his hand thus his sword came as it was levitating through the air Reduces he grabbed in his hands and clenched it.

Then Redues closed his eyes and focused in some sort of meditation then he shouted "come forth Empyrean way finder "then his sword changed its form showing it's true form with such a sudden change Mercurius felt something on him which he wasn't quite familiar with it was sweat he wondered was it caused by the presence of the sword or was his hard work starting to show?

With both warriors fully engaged in combat, the stakes were higher than ever. Mercurius showed excitement at the challenge posed by Redues, and the battle between the two became a dazzling display of skill and power. "All here I thought this guy is boring but wowie!!! who knew you had a marvellous spectacle from the heavens as expected underneath the world's nose and they say the world is fair ?as expected from an Angel. 

 "With the battle getting heated I might as well tell you about my ability since your full throttle I will let in a little secret ....hmmm on second thought who gives a fuck let's do this shit already".

With all the words being said Redues' stayed silent to not tolerate such a fiend even though his enemy having one hand he doesn't feel handicapped it quite the opposite actually it was Redues who was handicapped since he didn't know what his opponent ability is.

But even so the angel put on his fighting stance and his wings flourished out from his back with a blink of an eye Mercurius felt a punch through his face ,pushed back a little by the force he spat out blood without a moment to breathe Redues' came out from nowhere as if he teleported in front him his sword emitting blue light toward his stomach he barely dodged and Redues' slash attack ended hitting a pillar of some abandoned library within the village leading it to collapse all over Redues'.
