Book 4: Chapter 1
Volume 4
Kath Donoghan was happy with the result, she smirked and said, "The Holy Mage position should have been mine. I let you sit on it for far too long. Noe Clerico is just a useless cripple, no one can protect you now, Holy Mage Gwenn Bigham."
“Lord Donoghan, what have you done?”
“My Lord, Why are you betraying the Mages Council?”
“Your Grace, please explain yourself.”
Members of the Brown and Executioners that served Lord Donoghan started asking her these questions. Before Kath answers any of their questions, Azura Kreel, who went undercover as Githa Bersk, quickly transforms into a Vampire Lord and starts convening vampires to protect Kath and herself. Azura has advanced into the Saint-tier of Blood and Earth Magic. Needless to say, she alone has no problem fighting back multiple powerful level 80 Solo-Executioners. Now that Gwenn was killed, Adrik, while using his Ice Wings and Etgar, while flying using the [Wind Walk] spell, started flying closer to Kath to help Azura protect her.
Hagar didn’t know what was going on, but he quickly understood that Kath Donoghan, Lord of the Brown, was somehow helping Kain’s allies. Anyone that helped his son will be his allies as well. Hagar turned his head toward the Members and Executioners of the Brown and asked, “Do you want me to exterminate them?”
Members and Executioners of the Brown instantly shut their mouths from asking stupid questions and wait to hear Kath’s answer. If Kath nods or says “yes” then the Diamond Skeleton would start killing them mercilessly.
Kath shook her head and said, “I thank you for your concern, Mister Skeleton. But those are my faithful Members and Executioners. If they continued swearing to serve me, then I have no intention of killing any of them.”
Right at this moment, a very bright light appeared from the sky and shined throughout the entire Linkeep Island, blinding everyone including Anwyn Richir and Hagar Bersk. Approximately two seconds later, everyone can see again and the first thing they did was look toward the sky where the bright light just appeared. They saw a colossal portal opened and a half-naked man blonde tall man slowly flew through it. He was wearing no boots, no gloves, no ropes, no weapon, but white shorts. The man had a pair of Angel Wings that were no bigger than any regular tenth-tier Angel Warrior’s Angel Wings, which were much smaller compared to Archangel Wings. Regardless of his humble appearance, the way that Angel looked down on everyone showed he was no ordinary Angel Warrior or Angel Battlemage.
In the higher realms. Watcher Tykan smirked, shook his head in disappointment, and asked Watcher Zorim, “You can’t let Michael out of this battle, can you?”
Zorim angrily answered, “You brought the Diamond Skeleton from the realm of the dead, then don’t act surprised when I bring Michael.”
“I’m not surprised. At the time Vierna Pharm was causing chaos in Toria Continents, you didn’t bring any Archangel to stop her. Why are you bringing Michael out of all Archangels you have in Heaven Realm now? Aren’t you afraid it will offend Noe Clerico?”
Sighed out lightly to calm her mind down, Zorim said in a calming tone, “Letting Michael and Noe meet each other once again in Toria Continents isn’t something I wanted to happen. Noe has failed in protecting the planet that I have given him. Arthur alone wasn’t strong enough to fight back Kain and his allies. I have no other choice but to send Michael.”
Back to Toria Continents. There were only two people who recognized Saint Archangel Michael and that was Noe Clerico and Anwyn Richir. Despite being the Devil Overlord, Anwyn couldn’t help but tremble when she faced Michael once again. The difference between Devil Overlord and Saint Archangel was not only in their physical strength or magical power but also in their history.
Demon Lords, Devil Warriors, Devil Mages, Devil Battlemages, Devil Overlord, and all Archangels have the chance to one day advance into God-tiers and travel to the higher realms. Nevertheless, Saint Archangel doesn’t have that chance. The Creator created Saint Archangel Michael to permanently guard the Heaven Realm for all eternity and he will never have the chance to become God-tier but in return, he was granted a unique specialization that no one can ever have. Saint Archangel Michael doesn’t use Light Magic because his power came from strength and physical abilities. Since he is the leader of all Archangels, Saint Michael can command all of the Archangels to appear at any time he wants to. And because Toria Continents is the realm being under Watcher Zorim’s control, Saint Michael has no problem summoning all Archangels to help him in battle if needed. Sending Micheal to Toria Continents meaning sending all Archangels of the Heaven Realm.
Michael looked around Linkeep Island and saw everyone was staring at him. Michael turned his gaze toward Noe. He then smiled, and mockingly asked, “Isn’t that the almighty Noe Clerico? Why are you being imprisoned by such a weak magic spell? Guardian of Toria Continents? Haha... You once embarrassed me in front of my Archangels. Then you persuaded Watcher Zorim to never allow me to come back to Toria Continents. Aren't you supposed to be strong enough to defend this planet? Look at you now, such pathetic.”
Michael then raised both of his hands and activated [Phantom Swords] ability. Thousands of phantom swords appeared and started flying in circles around Michael waiting for him to command. Michael looked around again and said, “No one here is worthy of my time, including you, Anwyn Richir. If it wasn't Watcher Zorim begged me to interfere, then I will never set foot to this cursed land once again.”
Michael then commanded his [Phantom Swords] to attack Anwyn and the phantom swords started flying toward her. Anwyn casted [Flame Wall] spell and a gigantic floating wall of flame appeared to protect her from the phantom swords by burning them to ashes before they could touch her. Wasn’t stopping there, Anwyn casted [Inferno] to create a colossal wave of flame toward Saint Michael. Michael showed no sign of avoiding the [Inferno] as he let it hit him. After the [Inferno] finished burning Michael and faded away, Michael started fixing his beautiful blonde hair that was a little messy caused by Anwyn's [Inferno] spell because appearance is also important for Saint Micheal.
Noe Clerico wasn’t just the type of person who trained to be the most powerful being throughout the entire lower realms but his egotism also raised to the maximum. Noe was being humble after he was rescued and revived by Arthur after Arthur killed Kain using his [Isolation] spell for the first time. But when Noe saw Michael appeared and started fighting, Noe couldn’t control his anger anymore as he angrily shouted out loud, “Damn you, Watcher Zorim! How dare you send Michael to my realm? I am the Guardian of Toria Continents! How dare you!?”
Michael, Anwyn, Hagar, Adrik, Etgar, Arthur, and Kain couldn’t help but want to laugh when Noe was still claiming to be the Guardian of this planet. But their attitude quickly changed when Noe grabbed some air to greatly enlarge his muscle and broke free out of the imprisonment magic spell Anwyn casted on him. The ability Noe just used was exactly like the one Hagar Bersk the Diamond Skeleton used. Anwyn’s Soul Magical Staff started casting [Ice Prison] spells on Noe with the intent of imprisoning him again. Right after the [Ice Prison] was formed, Noe threw a powerful punch into the air and a massive wind force gathered from his first toward the [Ice Prison] to completely demolish it.
Noe grinned his teeth in anger and said, “I was surprised to see the Diamond Skeleton had Awakened his Monk Warrior specialization. I have always thought that I was the only one who could have Awakened while still stuck in the lower realms.”
