Chapter 05: The Challenge

So he decides to stay here as someone will surely smell the blood and show up...

Away from the town a group of Angels around the middle class are patrolling the are because of the massive influx of souls are resentment released by them.

As they are walking around looking for clues they notice the billows of smoke and the deep smell of blood in the air.

"Watch out this could be the work of devils, let's go over there and take out those devil scum" One of the Angel's exclaimed upset at the fact innocents have been mass murdered. And while many express the same feeling of this angel they all look towards the one in the middle for guidance as he is the leader of the group.

"Watch out for any sneak attacks these devils are a treacherous bunch you never know if this could be a trap to lure us or not proceed with caution" The leader spoke quietly looking at all those present agreeing that they should deal with the problem

Now all of them on high alert walking towards the town as they get closer and closer they can see clearly what happened and the one responsible by the fact that hes sitting on mountains of bodies staring at them.

Looking at the state of the town the angels get upset but don't let it overwhelm them as they've see worse done and resolve themself to deal with the devil.

Arming themselves for the combat the angels warily look towards the blood soaked man as he stands up and walks towards them step by step building up the tense atmosphere. Locking eyes the lead angel and Kuro who they presume is a devil from they clear evil they can feel from him he orders for an attack as they unleash a barrage of light spears towards Kuro.

Seeing this attack Kuro isnt phased at all but is slightly interested in magic as hes never used it before and is willing to use these angels as test subjects. Locking his fingers in front of him Kuro focuses on that feeling of death he always feels inside him and tries channeling it towards his hands.

As he is doing that the spears of luther are getting closer and closer but the is the rate at which he is channelling the energy judging by the fact that his hands are now accustomed with a gray smoke with wisps of black flickering in and out of existence.

Letting go of the energy he's gathered hes astonished to see his ring glow and send some energy towards his attack and amplify it by a quantitative amount making it look deadlier and more menacing. Looking at his attack Kuro has a maniacal look in his eyes think of the possibilities that are presented to him.

Laughing in joy he watched as his attack launches towards the angles and their attacks, as it comes in contact with the spears of light they start disintegrating at a fast rate as if its dying and continues on its path toward the angels.

The angles clearly astonished by this judge him to have a special clan trait from one of the noble houses and dodge out they way deciding to go close combat. Rushing forward the all attack together hoping to quickly overwhelm Kuro before he can do any real damage.

Kuro having not fought seriously before just decides to do what his body tells him and covers his half broken sword with the gray energy and lodges it into the throat of one of the angels watching as he starts to disappear as the spears of light did.

The others startled by this look at eachother and nod and fly up together ready to unleash a big final attack. Looking up Kuro frowns knowing he doesn't have wings but decides to try anyway seeing how he isnt human.

Concentrating on his back he tenses his muscles sending the gray energy which he dubbed as death energy towards his shoulder bones he watches in astonishment as two pitch black wings grow from his back sucking in the surrounding light.

Although at first glance it looks like devil wings they have angel features too, having feathers instead of bat like wings. On top of that the edges of his wings have thorns intertwining forming a half crown on his head.

Slightly dazed Kuro momentarily forgets about the angels and is brought back from his musings from the energy hes feeling. Getting his wits together he jump up and slightly fumbles around not being accustomed to him.

Hovering slightly above the angels he decides to try out his most powerful attack by using nearly all his energy. Pointing both hands upwards he focuses on creating a ball like shape that gets bigger and bigger as time passes by.

Just when hes about to run out of energy he unleashes towards the angels floating in there in shock as the ball of death comes towards them resigning to their fate and praying to their lord for salvation.
