Chapter 296 - Glorious b.l.o.o.d.y combat (2/2)

While Lucien fights the winged angels in the sky, Lena and Marie's groups head towards the angel troops on the ground.

The 'illuminated' arrival of the five hundred angels drow the attention of all Eve's ten thousand troops. Luise, the fox matriarch and princ.i.p.al commander of the troops now, quickly led her group to surround the angels.

The powerful light attacks launched on Lucien and Pride destroyed everything except the earth on the place the portal of the angels was completed, creating an area of hundreds of meters of completely open s.p.a.ce, which turned into a large battlefield.

Eve's troops quickly surrounded the entire region. Demi-humans in general, and especially elves, find it easy to get around and fight among the big forest trees.

The mages and archers prepared their attacks while just waiting for Luise's or Eve's orders.

Luise, beside the strongest mages and warriors of her troops, mounting unicorns, went towards the group of angels. She doesn't want to attack without knowing if they are her enemies, and Eve is in the sky with the group of mysterious people, leaving Luise and her troops confused.

"Who are you?" Luise asks the group of angels when he reaches a distance of two hundred meters from them. She goes straight to the point after see that they look like normal humans, just wearing clothes and armor different from anything she has ever seen.

One of the angels, wearing a brighter armor than the others, looks at Luise with an expression of disgust. He is in the ninth layer of the Mortal Realm and is the captain of those angelic forces just waiting to advance to the Earth Realm and gain his longed for wings.

He doesn't answer Luise but starts giving orders to his group. "They are in greater numbers, but they are very weak. Fight together, and we will have no casualties. Also, try to leave some survivors so we can get some information."

Luise realizes that the language of angels is a little different from that of her people, but it is still possible to fully understand their words.

And, of course, she is very upset by their arrogance. "How arrogant! You made a mistake in thinking you can beat us while we are under our Queen leaders.h.i.+p!"

Although Eve's troops are not in their best-boosted state, which is receiving power from Pride and Eve's auras as Pride is focusing all of her remaining demonic energy to fight the winged angels, the troops still feel the power of Eve's energy making them stronger.

But of course, since their real power is between SS-rank and the Mortal Realm, in the case of stronger women like matriarchs and their daughters, most troops are being boosted to the peak of the Zero Realm and to the beginning of the Mortal Realm, and that is seen as weak for the angels that are mostly above the fifth layer of the Mortal Realm.

As Luise prepares the troops to defend themselves against the clearly hostile angels, a big ice bird appears above them.

"Enemies?!" She and the mages among the troops quickly get on alert.

"It's me, mom." Elsie waves to her mother from the top of Lena's ice bird, alongside Anne and the other girls.

"Elsie?" Luise gets confused because her group's mages that manage to make floating magic platforms are beside her, let alone making a majestic ice bird.

"Anne?!?!" Luise gets even more surprised to see Anne beside Elsie.

Lena lands the ice bird in front of Luise's unicorn, the girls get off it, and Anne smiles at Luise. "Aunt! I'll explain everything later, but now we have to kill those guys."

"Are they your enemies?" Luise quickly concludes that Anne is with the mysterious group who arrived before the angels.

"Yes, hubby told us to kill them all." Before Anne answers, Ca.s.sidy speaks as Marie brings her floating platform closer to them.

Lucien's wives are in total synchronicity by being connected to Lucien mentally. Still, they don't have time to talk now and explain it to Luise because the group of angels is already prepping their attack.

Seeing her mother's confused expression, Elsie, who is also quite confused, speaks. "This is not the time to talk, mom. We have to fight; that is the will of our Queen, look."

Luise looks up and sees Eve fighting Noec and Lucien fighting June. It is quite evident that their groups are helping each other, so Luise does not think twice before warning her troops about cooperation with Lucien's wives.

"Fire!!" The angelic captain gives his troops the order to fire rays of light, just weaker than those of the winged-angels, at the girls.

The mages of Eve's troops quickly begin to raise magical barriers, but before they finish it, Lena and Marie's ice walls block the angels' attacks.

Eve's troops, who thought they are so strong, begin to realize the incredible power of Lucien's wives. They can't help but wonder if Lucien's wives are under an aura like them.

But Lena and Marie's incredible magic walls are just the first of many surprises to come during this battle that will certainly be quick but unforgettable.

*RAOR!*

Oya changes to her tiger form and extends her size, turning into huge white tigers before running towards the group of angels, followed by Lucien's other wives.

"Woah! A moon tiger!!" Luise gets shocked but quickly orders her troops to attack the group of angels along with Lucien's wives, starting a wild fight.

Although the angels have significantly higher power levels than Eve's troops and many of them, like the captain, even higher than Lucien's wives, the angels have no idea that all those women are boosted by the powerful demonic energy of the seven great demons.

While Eve's troops and those Lucien's wives fight on the ground, the fight in the air begins to take a totally unexpected end for the angels.

Amara has always been a brutal and powerful warrior who could face enemies at the same level of power easily or even stronger enemies relying on her wonderful armor, protected with an enchantment that could withstand hundreds of attacks from someone from the late stages of the Earth Realm.

But how could those poor angels know that Lucien and his sisters are hosts of great demons and have powerful soul weapons? Let alone Lucien's dragonic soul weapon.

Neoc would have liked his surprise attack to have worked, but they should still have everything under control. While Lucien and Pride should be almost out of energy after fighting for many minutes, the only person with a high power level in the group is Eve and Neoc was sure he could beat her, also trusting his incredible armor made by true G.o.d!

But now, while realizing that Eve is much stronger than a normal person of the ninth layer of the Earth Realm, he also sees Amelia, a girl of the first layer of the Earth Realm, tearing his sister's heart out.

Neoc is shocked, regretful, sad, and furious. But of course, all he can do now is scream in pain as Eve starts to tear his wings off his back.

"AAAAAHHHH!!!" Neoc can't keep his flight when feeling so much pain in his wings and starts to fall from the sky.

Eve holds Neoc's wings and continues to pull them back while using his back as a support for her feet. "Stupid bird!! I will pluck all your feathers and make you eat them."

Lucien drops Amara's lifeless body onto Angela's floating platform while laughing at Neoc's screams. "Big sis remains as fierce as ever, hahaha..."

"YOU!!!" June screams as she tries to fly towards Amelia and Lucien.

*BAM*

But L.u.s.t uses her whip to warpers her neck and pull June towards her body before kneeling on her face.

L.u.s.t's attack does no damage to June because of her magic chainmail, but it takes her balance, opening her guard for Envy to attack.

*BAM* *BAM* *BAM* *CRACK* *SMASH*

Envy repeatedly attacks June's back with her daggers and breaks the powerful enchantment of that armor, which is definitely not very effective against soul weapons.

Before June can do anything, Envy pierces the base of her right-wing and starts to cut it off.

"AAARRRGGHH!!!" There is no more awful physical and mental pain for an angel than to have their wings cut off, and June starts to scream in despair.

But the poor angel's screams sound like music to Envy's ears as she continues to cut June's wing while L.u.s.t uses her whip to contain June's movements.

"Leave at least one of them alive so that we can interrogate them," Lucien speaks while looking at June.

"You're right." L.u.s.t speaks as she begins to strangle June with her whip. Envy cuts June's right-wing completely off and starts punching her in the back until the angel pa.s.ses out.

Lucien doesn't stop to watch but flies towards Pride, who, despite being able to hold the three male angels, does not have much demonic energy to attack them.

*BAM* *BAM* *BAM*

Using each of her arms to block the swords of two of the angels, Pride uses her tail to hit the third one on the belly by pus.h.i.+ng him back.

Lucien takes that angel off guard and grabs his feet in the air.

"What the F?!?!" The angel is startled by Lucien's speedy movement.

*Whoooosh*

Lucien uses his demonic energy to confine the angel's mana while flying towards Pride and spinning that angel in the air.

"Duck!" Lucien shout as he starts what would be a horizontal strike towards Pride, but instead of using his weapons, he uses the angel, who keeps screaming, as a living weapon.

Pride ducks with perfect timing and the other two angels are caught off guard when they see their mate's body coming towards them.

The angels instinctively raise their swords to block Lucien's attack.

*BAM*

"AAAAHHHH!!!" Lucien hits the two other angels with the 'angel-weapon,' who screams loudly while the swords of his mates make several wounds on his body.

Even blocking Lucien's attack, the two angels are still pushed back several meters until they manage to regain balance and stabilize their flight.

Meanwhile, Lucien grabs the other angel by the arms and turns his back to Pride. "Do the honors."

Pride gives Lucien a beautiful and arrogant smile. "Of course, my good boy."

Then she grasps both bases of the wings of that poor angel and pulls them back with all her strength.

*RRRRRIP*

The loud noise of flesh being brutally ripped is heard by everyone around as Pride rips off that angel's wings, opening his back and making much of his blood spatter on her body, painting her onyx scales red.

The angel screams like never as his precious wings are taken from him in such a painful way.

But Lucien and Pride's cruelty has no limits. He turns the angel to Pride, and he starts to cry while seeing his b.l.o.o.d.y wings in her hands.

Pride positions the angel's wings on her back and begins to move them, imitating the flight movement. Then she smiles at Lucien. "Did they look good on me?"

Lucien makes a thoughtful expression while looking at Pride. "Hmmm... I'm not sure..."

Pride turns her body in the air, showing the wings on her back.

"What do you think, my friend?" Lucien asks the angel, clearly in a sarcastic tone, causing the angel to curse not only Lucien and Pride but also Neoc and his sisters while crying.

Pride gaze at Lucien in the eye. "So, just say that I look beautiful."

"Nah, I don't think gray suits you." Lucien shakes the angel's head.

Pride rolls her eyes. "Not good. I'm always beautiful, and you can't deny that since you didn't take your eyes off my b.r.e.a.s.ts since that, we started fighting."

Lucien really doesn't want to praise Pride, but he doesn't want to lie or stop saying what he thinks either. So, he nods. "Fine, you look d.a.m.n hot even with those s.h.i.+tty wings."

"Hahahaha..." Pride starts to laugh, showing her usual arrogant smile. "Well, maybe I will keep these wings; our friend won't need them at all, right?"

Lucien again makes a fake thoughtful expression while talking to the angel. "Will you? I mean, do you want your wings back?"

The angel already understood that Lucien and Pride are the scariest demons he has ever seen. Still, he can't help but have a little hope, to at least die with dignity, and his wings, of course.

"P-please..." The angel asks with tears of blood coming out of his eyes and much more blood from his open back.

"Oh, don't cry, little bird. Here, you can have them." Pride speaks sarcastically and tosses the angel's wings towards him and Lucien.

The angel stretches out his hands and tries to catch his wings, but Lucien pulls him back.

"Oops! My bad, my bad!" Lucien makes a fake sorry expression while Pride can't contain her laugh.

"Haaaaaaaaaaaa..." The angel starts to cry even more as his wings fall. He worked so hard to get those wings a year ago; losing them is the most harmful punishment for an angel.

Lucien also starts to laugh along with Pride. "Don't cry, little angel. Go get your wings back!"

Then he releases the body of the angel, who begins to fall from the sky while his blood leaks from his various wounds. The angel tries to reach his wings before it hit the ground, but his vision goes dark very quickly as the pain torture him to death.

Lucien looks at the other two angels and smiles while thinking aloud. "Ooh! How about a feather coat?"

"Nice idea! We definitely have to try that." Pride quickly agrees, terrifying the two angels.
