Chapter 168: Michael (3)

Perseus POV

Luckily, the formal clothing I have on isn't formal clothing at all, but an illusion I put onto myself. I have my armor on the whole time, I traded a small piece of the asteroid I got from the village of the golden sand a couple of months back for a good piece of 10 star fabric in a trade through Zach.

It's flexible and tough enough to protect me, I got extra plating with the metal made of the asteroid, shin pads, elbow pads, and everything. I half expected a fight and came prepared just in case I can't escape through the shadows somehow.

Well, this guy should have like superstrength and superspeed, I got that, but his should be on a higher level, the strongest archangel, that's not a title someone can have lightly.

Reiner can take on hits last time even though he can't handle the speed, and that was him not at full strength, but now, I can see him fighting almost at his best since he's not pulling out his trump card yet.

There are a couple of guys on the cult's side that made their way in, so now, the heroes who were supposed to just be the support squad apart from Rolan who can fight a bit on the frontlines, they're also being forced to take up arms in the situation. I sent a distress call to Leilah, so they should be here in a couple minutes.

Gauntlets are my specialty since I love using my fist, but for this scenario, I will need some reach, so I got out my arming sword that I had made from the asteroid, black handle with a white blade, a one-handed blade that knights usually use when all their other weapons break. But it's a good one for me since I like to leave one hand free to cast spells more quicker.

I turned my body into a particle of light and charged at the guy, I can see that he got on a helmet now, so that will be tough to cut his head off, this guy is prepared to do everything he said, damn it, a competent enemy.

I aimed for his shoulder which is his weakest spot since it needs to be the thinnest due to him needing to move it a lot, but it seems that the cloth he has there is of good quality as well. My slash seems to only smack him at most, but I think that I'll need a couple more hits just to bruise him cuz he's a 10 star mage with one of the toughest bodies in the world.

"Light?" he has a questioning tone "You're the light bringer."

"Who the fuck is that?"

"The fallen angel, the one who sinned against god, he who once shone the brightest, to think I found you."

"I seriously don't know what you're talking about."

"Join my side." he offered "I'll treat you well and make sure you can regain god's favor."

"You're fucking annoying."

"That pride was what cause you to fall."

"I ain't this light bringer guy, I don't know what fall you talkin about?"

I know everything, but this guy is annoying, I can tell that I can go faster than him, but I don't know about beating him as of now, I sensed a large amount of mana being sent my direction and I got out of the way.

The strongest lightning bolt casted by Buddy hit the guy and exploded, but he only stumbled a bit in the air, his wings which have little to no armor only singed a good bit. Damn, he's tough.

"Aye, you sure you don't know that bozo? He sure seems familiar with you." the shield form Rowan asked

"Do I look like I know him?"

"He doesn't know me." the guy in question interjected "But we know about him."

He then pointed his sword at me.

"He, like me, possesses a special power deep inside him." he said "The powers of one of the strongest angels in history, though, unlike the angel whom I got my powers from, his tried to overthrow God in a rebellion, and God cast him down from heaven."

"Cool." I replied "What's next? Did he have some cool redemption story where he goes back to heaven and becomes your god's favorite angel?"

"No, he became Satan, the ruler of hell."

"Awesome!" I responded much to everyone's disappointment

I know all of this by the way, but I need to keep my act right, cuz the heroes are overhearing our conversation as they're struggling with some of Finn's people who broke in here. I don't know what's with my enemies and fictional characters and talking in a fight, but it gave me time to think of what to do.

"No, not 'awesome'." Finn said with disgust "He is a being we must rid...but you...you possess the power of light, you possess the power before he becomes a fallen angel, you still have a use."

"So winged chicken the fuck are you?!" Rowan asked as Edward charge up a spell

"I possess the powers of Michael," he announced proudly "The patron of military power, champion of justice, killer of devils, healer of the sick, protector of the weak, and the guardian of the Church."

He would be really famous in the village of the golden sand, cuz this title thing is super annoying and I want to record it and torture him by playing it on a loop for him for eternity.

"Yeah, you definitely don't know him, I can't see you hanging out with this kind of guy without slapping him every 5 seconds with that terrible personality that my sister finds attractive." Rowan responded

I know that Lilith told several people I had the black rose powers which have gotten out to several higher-ups on both sides in her general disguise behind the scenes, but Rowan shouldn't have put a complaint in the middle of that. At least everything is buying time for help to arrive.

So I'm hoping Finn talks more and give me the time I need.
