Chapter 17 - Felling the Fallen

Razors swished over the Guardians, their forms visibly damaged and yet repairing as fast as the razors cut them.

While Guardians were getting damaged, both Aurelia and Archangel stood unharmed, after all, they were protected by [Holy Ward].

Guardians wouldn't last forever. They did not need to last forever, they only needed to survive until the skill combo had ended.

[Flame Mastery: Flame Lash], [Earth Mastery: Shatter Earth], [Elemental Convergence: Magma]. Rayn chanted a series of skills and spells, filling the surrounding air with immense heat.

One of the Guardians charged at Rayn but was stopped by a mass of blades in its path.

Guardians were not particularly powerful but 3 of them could easily push through most defenses.

The angels had to stop the caster but Lucious stopped them with a wall of blades.

"Darling, move aside. I will blast this scum into nothingness!" Rayn shouted at his wife.

Lucious jumped aside as Rayn cast a combined elemental spell,[Magma Sphere].

A ball of fire and earth consumed the Angels, shattering the floor beneath their feet. The dust settled leaving Angels in terrible condition.

They slowly started regenerating before a pair of fallen cast their skills and spells again. [Flame Lash], [Blade Shatter]. Two fallen worked together flawlessly not allowing Guardian Angels to even get a chance to fight back.

"This will teach you to interrupt Great Arcanist's private time..." Rayn shouted. Subconsciously shielding his wife from the blast.

"Darling... they are not dead yet..." Lucious spoke in a soft tone as she clung close to Rayn.

Rayn looked at the aftermath, all 3 Angels standing there, their severe injuries healing very slowly, but still healing.

"You aren't leaving here alive, once you 3 are done with that pair behind you will die too!" He threatened.

His attempts at angering the man seemed to fail but the woman seemed to show signs of worry.

"I can sense your fear whore! But worry not. I shall make sure you suffer a lot for your transgression!"

Aurelia hid behind Archangel, knowing she could not help the Angel Squad. It was her place to observe and admire from safety.

Over the last day, she learned that she was nowhere near powerful. If it were not for Cedric's blessing, she would have been dead long before she even stepped foot in this tower.

She heard a strange whisper in her head, almost like when Angels spoke but more ethereal and powerful.

It happened a lot, it was known as the voice of the gods. Used by Pantheon to deliver their messages. And yet unlike when Chrunus gave her his patronage it was infinitely more powerful and only stated the removal of sin.

She chose to pay it no mind, after all a battle was going on before her mind despite the taunting of the male fallen angel.

[Magma Sphere] Rayn cast once again, in a combination of [Razor Domain] the spell did an immense amount of damage.

Molten blades Prevent Guardians from repairing themselves. And yet they felt no pain. No matter how much damage the Angels received they pushed forward with indifference.

No matter what combo Rayn and Lucious pulled on the trio of Guardian Angels or how much they damaged them, it was terrifying that these creatures felt no pain or fear.

[Magma Sphere], [Magma Sphere]. Rayn cast two spells back to back, pushing the Angels down beneath the power of magma.

As the mass of magma and molten blades subdued what was left of Angels were mere motes of dust.

With a heavy breath, Rayn spoke, "Your soldiers are dead, Surrender!" He demanded and yet his demand was answered with only a statement.

"Entity: Rayn, Entity: Lucious. Danger level adjusted: Combined Threat: Severe. Summoner Authorized straying from the directive. End Demonic threat."

Aurelia looked with shock as the trio of Guardians was destroyed, despite their superior durability combined efforts of the couple were too much for Level 50 creatures.

A glorious Gold and platinum mace materialized in the hand of the Archangel. Archangel moved Aurelia to the side ignoring her pleading and scared look.

"Sir Archangel, please be careful!" Aurelia shouted. She was indeed worried even if they were summoned. Guardians were powerful enough that they could most likely beat the gang boss without a problem and yet before the duo they were killed by a barrage of magma and blades without them being even able to approach.

"Directive is clear, End Threat." Archangel's form shimmered as [Holy Ward] took effect.

"Stand back! You will end up like the rest of your guards!" both Lucious and Rayn spoke in unison, trying to warn the angel.

For champions they were acting quite timid, was it because they were in the middle of intercourse or was it simply their nature?

It did not matter. All Aurelia hoped for was that Archangel would be able to kill the duo.

"Please be safe!" Aurelia shouted, her voice making both fallen angels look at her with hatred in their eyes.

"Once your man here is dead I will personally sell you to the worst slave owner I can find!" Rayn threatened Aurelia once again, after all, she was the only person who had shown any emotion.

Threat made her shiver but it did not make her falter, she was sure that if Archangel was to fall Cedric himself would come to end the Champion duo.

'He will rush over here even if he said he would not protect me!' Aurelia reassured herself.

In her mind, a great hero like Cedric would never abandon a maiden in trouble. After all, someone as amazing as that could be mistaken as a hero from fairy tales would never betray anyone's trust.

"Fortunately for me, I will still be alive, and you will be dead!" Aurelia retorted making Rayn seethe with rage.

"Fucking bitch!" Rayn shouted before charging another [Magma Sphere] aimed at Aurelia.

[Razor Domain], [Shatter Blade], Lucious supported Rayn once again, charging a powerful combined technique at the Aurelia and Archangel.

And yet despite the attack being directed at Aurelia, Archangel tanked it with no difficulty or injury.
