Badass Entrance

Divine arts consist of borrowing the power of the gods to enhance one's techniques.

Different from Martial Arts or Tier Magic, Divine arts are more like a boost. A warrior can use divine arts to boost his attacks or gain certain abilities, and a mage can use Divine arts to make his magic stronger or acquire new spells with a help from a deity.

Unfortunately, not every person can use Divine arts. To use Divine arts, you need to have a strong thread of faith connecting to a Deity. That thread of faith is means that the Deity uses to transfer part of his/her abilities to his/her adherents.

In Sherene's case, however, was a bit more special.

As the High Priestess of the Church of Golden Dawn, she was ironically terrible at using Fate laws. By herself, she was unable to use any ability related to Fate.

However, Sherene had a very special talent.

[Soul Vessel]

That is the reason why the Church chose the Princess of the Kingdom as the High Priestess of the church since she was a child.

Through this talent, her soul works as a vessel to receive the powers of another individual, in this case, the Goddess of Fate, Genesis.

This way, she could use the power of Fate indirectly.

And when she uses this ability at full strength, she can borrow enough strength from the Goddess to become countless times stronger.

"[Deity's Blessing!]"

In an instant, her strength was from the beginning of a Legendary Realm to the very peak, even going beyond that!

Although it was not enough to make her a Demigod, she could be considered a half-demigod. Her surge of strength was so intense that the Duke's expression changed. Without hesitation, he extended his hand.

"Stop her now!"

Instantly, thirty shadows jumped from every corners of the city hall. Three of these shadows were a Rank 10 practitioner!

But Sherene remained calm even though she was surrounded by thirty men. She just waved her hand and opened her mouth...

"[Verdict]!"

In an instant, the three warriors on front were stopped in their tracks.

Then...

"[Heresy Cleanse!]"

As though it was a judgment from the heavens, three lightning bolts descended from the skies, smiting the three Rank 9 into ashes!

[Verdict] is a 3rd tier spell that lets the user see through the opponent's sins, including knowing how many they have committed.

[Heresy Cleanse] is a 10th tier spell, when activated, the user struck three powerful lightning bolts to the opponent and instantly vaporized them, completely ignoring any defenses they used. However, there are some drawbacks, it only works when the user knows every bit of their sins, once they know everything, it is judgment time, that is why she uses [Verdict] to see every sin they commit. The second drawback is that someone at Rank 10 or at Demigod level is immune to it, but with [Deity's Blessing], it boosted the spell which she is able to one shot Rank 10 and even injured a Demigod.

After killing the three Rank 9, Sherene did not stop there. Instead, she extended her hands towards the army and the duke himself.

"[Verdict]!"

The duke and his army's expression changed. Instantly, they all ran in fear but as for the Duke, he has a curtain of blood-red mana surged around him and charged towards Sherene.

"Hell no!"

"[Heresy Cleanse!]"

BOOOMMM!!!

Three lightning bolts, even thicker than before, descended from the skies and attacked the Duke!

But when they were about to kill him, the curtain of blood-red mana turned into a whirlpool that clashed against the lightning. Then, the monster in his chest opened his mouth, sucking the lightning as though it was just a mere bowl of ramen!

Seeing this, Sherene's expression changed. She did not wait for the result and opened her mouth again.

"[Curse of Maladroitness!] [Repercussion]! [Karma]!"

The first word put a curse of fate on the duke, turning his luck into negative. The second word used fate to bring a backlash towards the duke, making his mana unstable, and the third word called upon the sins of the Duke to bring retribution.

The retribution came in the form of the souls he was absorbing. Suddenly, the souls turned berserk and went out of control, injuring the Duke greatly!

"Damn bitch!" The Duke growled. He extended his hands, making the chains in the city hall wriggle and charge towards the High Priestess.

Sherene's face morphed into a scowl. With a wave of her hand, a barrier was cast in front of her. Then, she opened her mouth again.

"[Heresy Cleanse!]"

"Fuck! Not that again!"

With a snarl, the Duke hit his chest. Then, the creature on his chest let out a shrill screech!

"Screeeeeeech!!!"

Sherene involuntarily covered her ears. After hearing that screech, she felt that her mana was impossible to control. The shield she had cast before crumbled, and her body twitched in pain.

But the Duke was not done yet. Once the creature screeched in pain, he used the blood-red mana to form several spears that were thrown in Sherene's direction!

At the last second, Sherene managed to roll aside, but one of the spears managed to hurt her arm. Sherene, however, used the pain to shrug off the effects of the creature's scream and completed her spell from before.

"[Judgement Day!]"

It was as though the goddess of fate herself hear her words! Instantly, a powerful presence appeared on the clouds and descended in the direction of the duke in the form of a Divine Sword!

The Duke turned pale and his face was filled with fear. That massive weapon that dwarfed even the Dungeon Tower has power that is something he was unable to go against!

"Pablo! When are you going to make your move!??!"

At that moment, a powerful aura came from behind the duke. Then out of nowhere, a young man materialized in the path of the divine sword and stopped it between his fingers.

Crack! Shattered!

In less than a second later, the divine sword was shattered like glass, dissipating into golden particles.

"Damn! It has been SO long I felt holy magic hit my skin. It's a bit painful as always.

Seeing someone manage to destroy her most powerful spells in her arsenal, Sherene's expression changed. Not only that, when she narrowed her eyes and inspected the newcomer, she sensed something… unholy.

"No..."

It caught Sherene by surprise, no, surprise isn't the way to describe as her expression changed to the look of horror upon facing an actual Demon before her. This is actually her first time she sees these type of demons. In the ancient text, they are the Ancient Demons that first invaded this world 2000 years ago. Unlike Onis or other kinds of demons in Fordalt, these demons were the most powerful and dangerous, dangerous enough to invade worlds and corrupt the mana in there to turn it to demonic energy.

With the demon showing himself, without hesitation, she joined her hands again, bellowed, and cast the Super Tier Spell again.

"[Judgement Day!]"

Once more, the powerful presence appeared on the clouds. But this time, it stopped before it could descend!

Pablo wiped off the blood on his lips and laughed, "Hahahaha, sorry high priestess, but mere Super Tier Holy spells are useless against me. I'm capable of stopping it."

"You're a Marquis-ranked Demon, are you?"

"That is correct."

In Fordalt, not just humans created their own cultivation ranks. It includes demons, they are a savage creatures but that doesn't mean they are an unorganized race, below C-ranks were just mere minions that always follows their leader's orders. Here is the list of the ranks of demons.

C-rank = Baron rank

B-rank = Viscount rank

A-rank = Count rank

S-rank(Transcension level) = Marquis/Marquess rank

SS-rank(Sainthood level) = Duke rank

SSS-rank(Apotheosis level) = Princess/Princes rank

Seeing reinforcements arrived, the duke sighed in relief. Then, he formed several new spears of mana around him.

"How are you going to fight now, high priestess?"

The spears flew towards Sherene, but Sherene managed to avoid them. However, her expression was not good. She could feel that her connection with her goddess was unstable!

The reason is because Pablo, being a Marquis-rank demon, has a skill to interfere with the connection between Sherene and the Goddess with ease. Knowing this, Sherene's expression turned ugly. Without the power of the goddess, she was at a disadvantage against the almost-demigod Duke. Moreover, there was still a powerful Demon who was also at the Demigod realm looking at her with amusement that could attack at any moment.

However, the situation changed once more.

Suddenly, Pablo put on an expression of alarm. He did not hesitate to turn around and uses his wrist blades to block something in the direction of the entrance.

Before the others could understand his intentions, a powerful ray of energy charged towards him, clashing against his defenses and creating a powerful explosion.

"What the?!" The Duke was startled, but before he could understand what it was, a faint sound was heard in the distance.

It sounded like... music? Like, rap music... but the voices sounded familiar somehow.

🎶TEAM SIX CAME HERE TO FUCK SHIT UP...🎶

The music was getting louder and despite the loud noise of the battle and the chaos happening, everyone could just make out an engine, the sound was emanating from the direction on the Duke's back, just behind them.

🎶AND I DON'T GIVE A FLYING FUCK…🎶

Everyone looked through the window to the scourge of the loud music and noticed a bright light getting closer to them

🎶SO UBER DRIVER HURRY UP, I'M PAYING YOU ELEVEN BUCKS…🎶

Before the Duke could react, the walls suddenly exploded and chunks of concrete were sent flying, including him and launched back across the room.

A large yellow wagon with wheels slammed down onto the floor as the chase was going on and accelerated forward.

🎶WE MAKIN A STOP AT THE DRIVE THROUGH🎶

The bus sped forward, passing by Sherene who looked at it in shock.

🎶LET'S ORDER SOME NUGGETS AND FRIES TOO🎶

As it continues to move around, its tinted back window started to rolled down

"Really!? No automatic windows!?" A voice yelled from inside.

🎶WE DON'T WAIT IN NO LINE CUZ WE FAMOUS AS FUCK!🎶

Pablo looked back and glared. This vehicle, the voice within, and the music is all-too familiar to him, as if he knew them from a lost time in his life. But he disregarded the thought as he effortlessly smashed the ground and sent a massive debris flying towards the familiar vehicle.

🎶SOME DUDE TRIED TO PASS SO I POOPED IN HIS TRUCK🎶

The driver, a man in red, threw the wheel over and just about dodged the incoming debris. Sherene continued to jump and evade, only glancing at the new car. She had now just seen the vehicle sped past her, heading straight for Pablo, music still blaring.

🎶WE DRIVEN THROUGH TOWN WITH THE WINDOWS CUZ THE A.C DON'T WORK AND MY PITS SHOW🎶

A pig beastmen in a white bicycle helmet leaned out holding an RPG, grinning evilly.

"Hey Mini!" He yelled.

"You!"

Then, it hit him. Pablo, also known as Craig Thompson, now had remembered it all, his expression became ugly as the long lost memories began to appear in his mind, memories as an insignificant human in an insignificant world filled with insignificant humans. As Mini Ladd is distracted by his own rage of remembering his worse previous life, he didn't react in time when the bus with a man hanging out the window, RPG aimed.

🎶GET ON YO KNEES GIRL AND SUCK ON THIS CLOUT...🎶

"Fuck you!"

🎶WE GOT 24, 25 SUB'S WE KEEP COUNT!🎶

The RPG fired, sending its rocket flying with a trail of smoke and flame towards the demon. However, Mini Ladd easily caught the rocket with his bare hands, but the rocket exploded anyway, creating a large cloud of smoke.

Once it settled down in the next couple of seconds, it revealed Mini Ladd standing in the area unharmed, but instead, it only successfully pissing him off even more

"You little fucks!"

"That's for leaving us you fuckin' pedo!" Terroriser shouted on the hole the bus created.

Seeing the unexpected arrival of the unknown newcomers, Sherene instantly recognized it.

"Boys!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw eight people appear inside the bus.

Reinforcements have arrived.
