Chapter 206 The Angel of Death
From his face alone, I could tell that he cannot be reasoned with anymore. Being only able to obey Gods command. Acting on that instinct, hell eliminate anyone in his way by all means.
The bright red stigmata glowed bright red, now recognizing me as an obstacle.
[Dad, youre really too much sometimesleaving everything to me good grief]
Having turned into a black angel, my voice could no longer reach him. Nothing but a breeze of wind that blew in the capital to him.
Fate! Its coming
The moment I turned my attention back to the black angel, it disappeared.
Was it the space leap used by the Sacred Beast Gemini!? Or perhaps its just an extremely fast movement that looked like teleportation.
Did the two pairs of extra wings have something to do with the increased speed!?
My eyes could not follow its movement properly. Only its afterimages, which mean its real body was already ahead.
Switching to black shield was all I could do to protect myself. The black angel didnt even hesitate, attacking me with its spear.
[Heavy.]
The black shield actually creaked. This meant that a single attack was almost comparable to Mynes Noir Destruct. Did that mean it also had power in addition to its speed?
The black cube afforded me no stable footing, which caused me to be blown away from taking the spear attack. My body crashed through several buildings before the ground stopped the momentum.
I spat out a large mouthful of blood. The attack shouldve been blocked by the black shield, but the shock still somehow penetrated through and damaged my innards.
I pushed away and crawled out from the rubble.
The black angel seemed to be concerned about Eris magic bullet, which was suppressing the movement of the Black Cube. Every time it tried to draw a magic circle, a magic bullet canceled it.
After a short glance, it swung its spear.
[Eris!]
The air seemingly froze along my voice. I couldnt move.
I could barely tilt my head around, only to find the entire capital covered in frost.
Fortunately the core of my body had not frozen yet. I circulated my magic power, turning it into heat to thaw the frost.
[What about Eris?]
She was closer to the black angel than I did. She mustve been affected by the frost more.
No need to worry. Shes tougher than you think. We should move.

Greed once again told me that Eris will be alright. I also believe that shell be fine. What was Libra doing? Dont tell me hes still waiting comfortably in the green zone. That guy was so enigmatic, I couldnt really expect anything from him.
Worry about yourself first. Its coming again
The black angel, who showed the ability to freeze the imperial city, seemed to have set its aim again.
With the disruption from Eris gone, the Black Cube resumed the construction of the magic circle
The black angel moved once more, leaving afterimages in its wake. I tried to protect myself with the black shield, but the coldness slowed my reaction time.
High-pitched metallic screech followed the collision.
This time I managed to defend against the spear attack without being blown away.
[Good grief, youre always like this]
Greed was speaking through my mouth.
[This is what you get by trying to fight alone, fool.]
[Greed did you just do a forced crossing?]
[Fate is my companion. Moreover, by doing this, all of us can fight now]
[What do you mean]
Yeah, its as Greed says. Until now, weve been fighting together for things we cant do alone. Its really new.
[Youre here, Im here. Heck, even Kairos is here as well]
[Isnt it feel great?]
Now that our souls were temporarily merged together, I could feel Greeds feeling. Hes obviously very excited.
Even though he made fun of this situation where the fate of the world hung upon a father-child quarrel earlier.
[Time to counter attack]
Pushing back with the black shield, we immediately switched to black sword. Not forgetting to imbue poison into the blade.
The black angel responded by swinging its spear again as soon as it noticed our moves.
[Not this time]
We shimmied through the swing and continued moving forward. The spears one main weakness was its length thats not suitable for extreme close quarters combat. Were attempting to make use of that.
The black angel flapped its wings, trying to escape. But we wouldnt let that happen.
Thanks to crossing, both our accuracy and efficiency had increased. Our black sword struck toward the black angels flank.

[Not yet huh]
Our timing was perfect. The attack shouldve hit the flank. But, the black angel had dexterously used the handle of the black spear to alter the trajectory of our stab.
The Black Angel was about to retaliate, but seemed to have felt something wrong with its body and chose to take a distance from us instead.
The poison infusion was still working.
Although the effect might be minimum, Dad still hated it.
It cannot afford to engage us in close combat. Realizing that, the black angel pointed its spear at us, starting to use its freezing power at us.
The power that could freeze the entire capital was now concentrated toward us. The frigid cold rushed to the extent that it affected buildings that should be far from us. Frozen buildings were swallowed by the waves of cold air and shattered.
We could feel the handle of the black sword in our hand growing colder by the moment.
If we got engulfed in all that, no doubt well end up like those shattered buildings.
Even so, we didnt intend to run away.
Our status wasnt some sort of inexhaustible resource. So we had to resolve ourselves to finish it once and for all.
Changing the black sword into the black gauntlets, we immediately went for our strongest card.
[Dimension Destruction]
With resolve we shouted.
The black thread that emitted golden light branched innumerably and collided with the cold air of the frigid cold.
The thread cuts through the cold air together with the space. Then, the cold air was drawn into the empty space.
Great! This secret technique was effective against the cold air. Lets push for the kill.
At that time, the black angel uttered a voice that couldnt possibly belong to a human being. Immediately, the amount of cold air released increased at once.
Not even the secret technique was enough to hold that back. We could feel heaviness on our hands.
The cold air started to freeze the black threads. Were Dads feelings that profound?
[Even so]
As long as he considered me his son, then Id like to respond to that feeling. Thus, I increased my opposition.
A part of meKairos, responded by flowing in more power. The crimson flame engulfed the black gauntlet and mixed with the golden glow of the black thread.
It evaporated and canceled the cold, allowing the threads to once again cut apart and send it away via the tearing of space.
With this, it should be possible. This time for sure.

When the black thread approached the tip of the black spear, something went wrong.
[Reverse]
It changed from cold air to a pale blue-colored flame. This was its the complete opposite of the cold air so far.
The spear power that Dad told me shouldve only been the cold air and the space jump. Was there more?
No, Dad told me one more thing. That he used to have a completely different power.
Perhaps the stigmata made the black angel able to use it
[So its still messing around]
The cold disappeared. Now replaced by the flame that the angel used to control.
The power to freeze everything perhaps that power manifested because Dad didnt want to return to being this black angel. I dont think Dad would tell me even if I ask. But thats what I felt during this battle.
The momentum of the blue and cold flames kept increasing. It burned through the secret with the crimson flame as fuel.
The air became filled with raging heat.
The secret was still intact though. I could still go on. However, the pale blue flame continued to spread through the threads.
The pressure seemingly made my hands stiffen. The approaching flame caused my clothes to smoke a little.
[This is..]
We were attacked by the sensation of boiling blood. Maybe my body is on fire.
Just when I couldnt handle it anymore, I could feel someone was supporting me.
(What are you guys doing? You guys have your own flame)
Then I heard Kairos voice. It was firm but kind.
(Not the one from my power. The one that only you could create and no one could extinguish)
No way can I actually do that?
Could I actually use it alongside the secret of the black gauntlet?
(I couldnt. But you are different from me. You can do it. Show me Fate, Greed)
[UOOOOoooo]
Our crossed souls overlap. Fourth formsummon the power of the black wand here.
From the fingertips of the black gauntlet, a black flame began to make a crackling noise.
