Aurelia fell to her knees, she was too hurt and exhausted from facing 'Boss'. It was most certainly a bad idea to not let Angels handle the 'Boss' but it was her battle.
It was her noble pride and crush on Cedric that overrode her common sense, she should have saved herself.
She couldn't heal herself completely, but that should have been fine, despite her wishes she would need to let Angels handle 2 demi human champions.
Aurelia grunted as she rose to her feet, "Damn this will hurt, sir Archangel could you help me walk?"
With so many injuries it would take her multiple casts of [Lesser Heal] to get back into fighting shape.
It was a difficult decision, but she let go of her pride and decided to cling to the Archangel. She was capable of casting 4 [Lesser Heal] per hour, and she would need at least 2 more casts before her injuries fully healed.
"I dread to think of the Champions If a random gang leader was this strong..." Aurelia moaned while moving slowly and clinging to Archangel.
'I could ask him to carry me, but I need to be capable of at least walking...' Aurelia gripped Archangel's armored arm.
As they made their way out of the slums demihumans gave them weird looks, unlike slums where they looked with fear and admiration, here they were looked in disgust.
After all, Aurelia looked like an unfortunate Slum resident and pristinely armored Archangel looked like someone taking a woman to be exploited.
They watched but they didn't interfere, after all, Archangel looked like a man of great status in their eyes.
If champions or their men want to enslave a woman it's their prerogative despite not being seen in favourable light.
Their theories would be confirmed as they saw the Armored angel drag the woman towards the western tower, a residence of Lord Rayn.
It was well known he enjoyed the presence of many women in addition to his wife.
The murmurs haven't escaped Aurelia's eyes, it hurt her pride but it did not matter.
The mission would be completed soon.
'I can certainly use my injuries as an excuse to get close to Cedric once this is over!' She screamed inside her mind.
As much as she hoped he would give her more attention she knew that he would probably tell her about an important mission again.
But nobody could blame her, could they?
While spells or skills could heal her injuries her mental exhaustion would still loom over her like a stormy cloud.
"You can let go of me now, I think I can walk now." Aurelia distanced herself from the Angel, walking closely behind the imposing Archangel.
"Change Directive, Protect me from harm." She was reluctant to have Angels protect her constantly, but right now without her armor or usual weapon, she was rather helpless.
"Directive accepted honorable VIP." Angels shined for a moment as they accepted the directive.
It would be mere minutes before they reached the Western tower and she neither had her armor nor her weapon, and to top it all she was mentally and physically exhausted.
Passing through narrow streets they arrived at a clearing, The Tower was in clear view no demihumans in the vicinity and no sound.
"Objective Reached, Fallen Angels In the vicinity, recommended action, smash through the roof using Guardian Angels," Archangel spoke in a robotic tone as usual.
Aurelia nodded, "I understand, let's do that!"
Archangel grabbed Aurelia, gently holding her in his arms he propelled himself in the air, almost instantly reaching the top of the tower, shortly followed by Guardian Angels.
Viewing the town from this height was pretty mesmerizing alas they were not here to enjoy the scenery, the squad was here to end Rayn and Lucious.
Guardian Angels raised their maces and with an impossibly heavy mace struck at the roof, shattering it.
hey found themselves right above two fallen, their carnal pleasure interrupted rudely by heavenly creatures.
Two looked in shock for a moment before jumping back and grabbing their weapons, with a speed that defied expectation both grabbed the most important pieces of armor.
Two half-naked fallen looked at the Angels in shock as the squad slowly floated down, Archangel holding Aurelia in his arms.
"WHAT IN THE HELLS DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING?!" Rayn shouted hysterically as he stood in front of Lucious, protecting her from staring.
"Objective: End Demonic Threat, Threat: Significant, Directive: Protect Aurelia at all costs" Archangel spoke robotically.
[Holy Ward], Archangel cast making Aurelia's form shimmer as she was shrouded in holy energy.
"What?.... Never mind do you know who we are?!" Lucious spoke, her relatively smaller form almost completely hidden by Rayn.
"Entity: Lucious, Entity: Rayn, Designation: Fallen Angel," Guardian Angel responded before both forms were hit by [Divine Smite].
Their screams proved they resisted but despite their power, it still burned them, Rayn in particular suffered much worse burns.
Archangel stood next to Aurelia letting the Guardians take the front.
"That hurt... that's it you are dead! Lucious darling, please protect me while I show these imbeciles why we are the champions!" Rayn shouted as he prepared a spell.
With a nod, a female fallen angel materialized countless blades, every corner of the room was taken by miniature steel blades, primed and ready to shred everything in their path.
[Razor Domain] [Blade Shatter] Lucious cast two of her most powerful skills, creating a room of daggers and razors.
Furniture and decorations were shredded as she flicked her wrist, Sending countless blades at Angels and Aurelia.
