Chapter 294: Crazed Angels
The air turned suffocating, as if the oxygen was slowly being drained away.
As the party of eight gazed upon Rawkshawn's large eyes, they saw an unlimited amount of malice and knew they were in grave danger.
"Sepheron, slow him down!" Lionel screamed. "Once he is encased in ice, Mikael, cut him into pieces!"
A half of Sepheron's body turned into ice, and he then swung his ice-clad arm at Rawkshawn, sending a wall of freezing ice hurtling toward him.
"Ice Permafrost!"
Rawkshawn grinned and kicked his right leg up. It looked like an ordinary kick. However, then his big toe and only that touched the incoming wall of ice.
Since he was gigantic, his big toe alone was already big enough as a regular human.
The big toe kick shattered the wall of ice.
It was one of Sepheron's most powerful skills, but Rawkshawn took care of that so easily that it seemed like he was playing games with a child.
"Sun Slasher!" Mikael, even though Sepheron's attack failed, still sent his own attack.
The wave of the sun's burning strength headed in Rawkshawn's direction.
If the cold didn't work, perhaps the heat would!
Rawkshawn opened his large mouth wide and blew a gust of icy wind at the heat wave that was approaching him.
In any ordinary circumstances, there was no way that would work, but Rawkshawn was no ordinary being.
The breath of ice-which was just Rawkshawn's ordinary breath-was so powerful that the heat wave dissipated instantly, leaving the surrounding area feeling chilly and refreshing.
"That's not possible..." Mikael couldn't believe his eyes.
The ground under Oldman cracked, and he then leaped into the air, the banjo already in his
arms.
His fingers moved like possessed spirits, and as they strummed across the banjo's strings, the sound of powerful music echoed throughout this strange world.
The music was powerful, and it seemed like there was an echo of thousand voices harmonizing together.
"Hmm?" Rawkshawn frowned at Oldman.
He didn't know what Oldman was doing, as this was the first time he encountered someone who used music to attack. Thus, he believed that he was just playing music to distract him.
Yet a few blows landed on his face.
Those blows were soft, and he didn't really feel anything.
However, if those blows landed on ordinary humans, they would definitely die.
'Who is punching me?' Rawkshawn felt like some tiny, invisible humans were punching him in the face.
Dozens, hundreds, and even thousands of times.
A rain of blows landed on his face.
However, to Rawkshawn, those blows felt like pillows were landing on his face-soft and gentle, barely even noticeable.
"He didn't even flinch, huh." Oldman frowned.
Mikael frowned, but at that moment, he heard a cough behind him and turned around.
To his surprise, Nerezza was kneeling on the ground, her eyes and nose bleeding furiously. "Nerezza, what the hell happened to you?"
"I..." Nerezza gritted her teeth. "I am using that damn resistance magic on all of you. Don't you feel it?!"
"Feel what?"
"The sickness is coming from that gigantic piece of shit!" Nerezza pointed at Rawkshawn. "He is the source of the sickness. Thus, now that we are close to him, if I stop using resistance even for a second, we will all get sick!"
"So..." Mikael turned to Rawkshawn and gulped. "He is our mission? X-rank my ass; even EX- rank doesn't do this justice."
"W-we can't defeat him!" Nerezza shouted. "I can keep using resistance a little bit longer, but not long enough to have any fighting chance against him. We need to leave!"
"Lionel, you're the leader of the party." Mikael said. "What do you think we should do?"
"I am thinking..." Lionel gazed above Rawkshawn's head and said. "His health bar hasn't shown yet. Why?"
trapped on this island."
"W-we must hurry!" Nerezza noticed that her blood started to turn black. "I can't hold this resistance much longer!"
"y'know, this brought back some memories." Rawkshawn said with a grin. "I thank all of
you."
...
Millenniums ago.
At the garden of the heavenly palace.
"I'll become a great warrior one day!" A young child said while puffing his chest and threw a
punch with his small fist.
Rawkshawn, as a teenager, caught the fist and laughed. "You must do better than that if you want to become father's angels."
A group of young children in front of him nodded sternly and puffed their chests. There were around eight of them. They circled Rawkshawn like they were eyeing their prey and then launched their attacks at the same time.
Their small, weak fists barely made a dent in Rawkshawn's muscular frame.
"Hahaha," Rawkshawn laughed as those punches tickled him more than anything.
The children kept punching, and punching, but before they could hurt Rawkshawn even
slightest, their fists started aching.
"Ouch..." The children blew into their hands as they had turned numb.
"How can we get as strong as you, Rawk?"
"Train for another thousand years maybe!" Rawkshawn replied with a grin. "I'll accept your
challenge whenever!"
...
"Mm~" Rawkshawn let out a contended laugh. "Yes, this feels very familiar."
Through the destroyed ground, Adam flew through and landed beside the others.
"Tank, my ass." Akuji scoffed at Adam. "You couldn't stop him for even a second?"
"You try and see how fucking easy it is." Adam said. "He treated me as a fucking fly, just someone that buzzes in his ear."
"What should we do?" Lionel asked. "I am honestly out of options here."
"We still try to run away." Mikael said. "Those steps are not big. If we get there, that monster
cannot follow us."
"Hmm?"
At that moment, Rawkshawn gazed up to the sky and smiled. "It looks like they want to have
some fun too."
"?!" Lionel's eyes widened in shock. "Something is coming!"
Everyone turned their gazes to the sky, and through the mist, at first, a couple pale-skinned
creatures flew in.
They had wings made out of feathers and long, thin tails that trailed behind them in the wind.
One, two, three, four, ten, hundred...
Soon, thousands of those winged creatures came through the mist.
"They're my army," Rawkshawn said with a smile. "My Crazed Angels."
Crazed Angels!
"All of their strength..." Lionel gulped. "They're all at the level of Royal Prince!" "That's not even funny at this point." Mikael said out loud in pure desperation. "An army of
thousand Royal Princes..."
