Chapter 351: Power of a peak Angel (Part 2)


    The reason colonel Darius had decided that he, Major Reeves, and Brock Ulrik were to fight the emperor rank beasts outside the city barrier was to make sure the barrier and humans didn’t suffer from coteral damages from high-level battles.


    So far the fire smander Wyrmling had fired enough spells to put multiple holes in the city barrier or to turn arge portion of the new forest into a wastnd. All these had been averted thanks to colonel Darius who had continuously snuffed them out of existence.


    It was because of this that the emperor rank fire smander had decided to take a close-quarter approach since the human didn’t seem to be a physical type and the air element gave it a massive boost to its speed.


    It was correct about Darius not being a physical fighter, but who said close-quartersbat was his weakness?


    Creation pathway: Fire Scutum!


    Immediately the fire smander saw an opportunity and had gone in for the kill, its razor-edged ws had shed with a solid fire construct, instantly halting its advance without even leaving.


    DING!


    .....


    Before the sound waves produced from the sh could move a meter away from them, a hole big enough for Darius’ index finger appeared.


    Destruction pathway: Torpedo droplet!


    A drop of water formed at the tip of his finger covered by the thinyer of water, but before it could be fired the fire smander had sensed the amount of power contained in the drop and immediately backed out of the ck smoke’s range.


    ‘Should have seen thising, but anyways it doesn’t matter.’ Darius thought as the fire smander made the entire cloud of ck smoke explode.


    BOOM!


    The explosion was sorge and deafening that both the humans and beasts behind the city wall were rocked by the resultant shockwave causing everyone to pause and look at the source of the explosion.


    The fire smander was star-struck when the smoke had cleared up. It couldn’t believe its eyes that the human was floating at the same spot unscathed. Even theyer of water protecting him hadn’t been damaged at all.


    With its centuries of experience, the fire smander was quick enough to snap out of it and began charging a fire spell.


    The tier 1 emperor beast opened its mouth as a small concentrated ball of fire was forming a few inches away from his mouth. Once fully charged, the fire smander released thepressed energy.


    BOOM!


    The small ball of fire released a beam of fire the twice the size of the fire smander at Colonel Darius who didn’t seem to be moving anytime soon.


    Fusion Magic: Greater Extinguisher


    Instead of clicking his fingers, Darius ced his right hand in front forming a barrier that continuously extinguished the stream of scorching poisonous mesing at him.


    The only reason he hadn’t moved out of the way was that the beam of mes would have destroyed part of the city barrier if he didn’t block or extinguish it.


    The fire smander had sensed his mes weren’t dealing any damage so it began conjuring 3 more of the concentrated ball of fire. That was when the entire beam of fire right to the ball of mes generating it extinguished and Colonel Darius appeared right in front of it.


    “Checkmate!” With his finger ced like a gun, Darius fired a torpedo droplet at the fire smander’s head.


    The water droplet pierced through its skull like a hot knife through butter, causing the 25ft body of the wyvern to explode into a rain of blood that melted the forest below.


    “Seems like these beasts are growing steel balls.” Colonel Darius couldn’t understand why a tier 1 emperor beasts would want to fight a peak angel.


    Darius was appointed the colonel of Calton city not only because of his insane mastery over the fire and water elements but because he was considered a top-tier genius. He had lived less than a century but had already gotten to the peak of the Angel realm with a foot into the Battle Angel realm.


    (AN: For all those that have forgotten the realms. Human, Warrior, Champion, Hero, Demigod, Angel, Battle Angel, Deity, and All-Father.)


    ...


    Right from the explosion of the ck cloud to the beam of fire. Those on the wall had been keeping a tab on the battle going on outside the city barrier.


    When they saw the body of the Wyrmling explode, the entire wall screamed in joy as its death counted as a major win for the humans. The morale of the human army had instantly skyrocketed as their ‘champion’ had defeated that of the beasts in less than 5 minutes!


    ‘Is he at the peak of the Angel realm?!’ ke didn’t have much knowledge about either the angel realm or emperor rank, but he knew one shouldn’t be dog-walked like that if they were close to or on the same power level.


    The battle was so one-sided that Colonel hadn’t taken damage, and from what it looked like, he had been holding back from the beginning.


    [That is the only exnation. The level of power between each tier of realm increases exponentially as one goes up the pathway.] The system said.


    ‘You told me that I should be more scared of Colonel Darius than the beasts. So how did you know when you can’t sense his realm?’ ke asked.


    [Calton city has multiple Angels like Reeves, professor Hoffenheim, Zirrack, and Walden. So for Darius to still be the head of the military, it means he is surely stronger.


    Also, the southern wall is the most dangerous wall but they had only deployed 2 peak demigods and Angel. It just doesn’t make sense.] The system exined.


    ...


    Back outside the wall. The fire smander was dead, but Colonel Darius hadn’t left the area.


    “Why don’t youe out so we can end this quickly?” Darius said with an indifferent expression.
