Chapter: 91
"Who cares about some paltry humans…"
Akeno frowned and then glared at Grayfia. To my surprise, I could feel Light Energy start to emanate from Akeno! Four black Fallen Angel wings burst forth from her back! "My mother was human! And she, and every other human, are not prey!" Akeno shouted and then she did something that truly surprised me. She summoned forth a [Lightspear] made of holy lightning and hurled it forward at Grayfia.
The thing about Holy Lightning that made it so powerful and dangerous was…
…It was fast! It struck literally at the speed of lightning!
It was an ability so dangerous that Akeno's father's enemies tried to kill her as a child just so she would never develop the same power as him!
Grayfia grunted in pain as the lightning struck her. It didn't do a lot of real damage – if any – but she was temporarily stunned. I took advantage. "Raynare! Get ready!" I shouted. I then rushed forward towards Grayfia and summoned the most condensed and powerful [Lightspear] that I could manage. It felt like I compressed the power of a hundred spears all into one.
[-100MP!]
Grayfia's eyes widened when I slammed my [Lightspear] right into her torso. She was sent rocketing backwards. The force of my blow blasted her clear through the wall, and she flew outside.
"Holy fucking shit!" Raynare exclaimed as she ran up to the teleportation circle and started to activate it. "That was hardcore as fuck, Layla!"
I actually drew blood and managed to send Grayfia Lucifuge herself flying with my attack…
I wanted to smile at such an achievement. Except I couldn't. Right before Raynare could finish activating the teleportation circle, she was kneeling next to – her head slid off of her shoulders.
Raynare's body collapsed to the floor. She was killed so quickly that she didn't even know it…
"Oh my god!" Asia shouted in fear.
"You bitch!" Sif yelled angrily. As she charged forward with her blade, Grayfia conjured an ice sword, and their blades clashed together. Sif grunted in pain. Grayfia's blow had far more force behind it. I heard the sound of bones snapping. Sif's arms had broken from the force of that single clash... Thankfully, a split second later they glowed orange and started to heal.
"Oh, that's interesting. Are you some bastard child of the Phenex clan?" Grayfia asked before she swung her sword again at Sif.
The goddess scoffed as she parried the blow. She was now aware of the difference in power and started dueling Grayfia defensively. "I am no bastard! I am the goddess Sif of mighty Asgard! And I will not fall to some soul-eating monster!" She sped up her attacks on Grayfia. I was massively impressed. While Sif currently lacked power, she was making up for it in speed and was managing to temporarily hold Grayfia off.
"We'll see about that, Goddess!"
Obviously, the super maid was still holding back due to her son being nearby, but it was still impressive.
"Raynare's dead…" Akeno said solemnly. "I thought I hated all Fallen Angels…but now…" Akeno had tears in her eyes as she looked at Raynare's body. Asia walked over and kneeled down; she started praying.
"Ow!" Grayfia shouted in pain, and Sif capitalized on the distraction to land her first blow on the woman. Next to my shallow stab wound on her chest, another shallow slash wound appeared.
I looked down at Raynare's body. Yes, she was basically evil, and yes, she was an idiot. She was also my sister though…and our only ticket out of here.
I still had four revives that I had saved.
I walked over to Raynare and used one of them on her. There was no flash of light or special effects. Simply, one second she was dead and gone, and the next she wasn't.
"Wahhh. What the fuck just happened!" Raynare said as she sat up. Her head was once again attached to her shoulders.
"Eeeeeep!" Asia screamed in surprise. "It's a miracle! Oh thank you, Lord! Your wonders know no bounds! Hallelujah!"
Akeno just stared at me completely gobsmacked…
"Ow dammit!" Grayfia shouted again as she continued to clash with Sif.
"Raynare. It's time for us to go. Finish it up!" I shouted.
Raynare still looked confused but then snapped to it. "Alright! There we go, it's ready. Time to get the fuck out of here!" The teleportation circle on the ground started glowing an eerie black. Raynare immediately hopped on top of it, followed by Asia and Akeno.
"Sif, it's time to go!" I shouted to the goddess who had bought us all this time. Her armor was covered in gashes and tears, but she herself looked fine due to her healing factor.
Grayfia scowled at us as Sif jumped back and started running towards us. "I won't let you all leave!" She looked like she was about to attack us.
"Worry about your son first!" I shouted and summoned a quick [Lightspear]. With no hesitation, I threw it right at Millicas, who was hiding in the corner. There was no doubt the throw would kill him as I went for his head.
Grayfia's eyes widened in shock before she sped over towards her son and blocked the blow.
That was all the time Sif and I needed as we hopped on the teleportation circle, and an instant later our group was gone from Kuoh!
[Holy Shit, you actually did it! You have leveled up x 4!]
