Chapter 1376 Blocking The Sun IV

Lilith looked around to see the general situation and could see why Ark and his friends were struggling. They were at a disadvantage due to the fact that the area is abundant in light energy due to the being known as Pristina. Lilith could feel the disgusting energy of the Goddess of Light from her.

Gabriel did not charge at Lilith immediately when he gained his balance. He is the composed type and would study his opponent. This is also in favor of his fighting style that becomes more powerful as time passes but he must continue the battle for this to happen. Gabriel's special blessing does not activate continuously as one might think.

Gabriel must continue battle for at least every thirty seconds or else his power decreases. He would try and launch an attack at Lilith every ten second but she was easily denying them off. Gabriel is stunned by this as there was actually someone that is born that is more loved by light than angels. To make matters that can stir up jealousy, Lilith is also loved by darkness as well.

"Who are you? I have never heard of a Nephilim as beloved by light and darkness like you. You are like another version of him, but it seems you are more powerful." Gabriel stated.

Lilith did not answer as she is already done surveying the surroundings. She was trying to sense if there are others around them as she wanted to see if anyone else can pose as a threat. Seeing that no one is there, she finally became serious as the aura around her suddenly changed.

"The name is Lilith, Child of Luminaria." Lilith stated.

"You speak as if you are not part angel yourself. All angels come from the Goddess Luminaria." Gabriel stated.

"Not all angels were created using her power. She might have molded some, but it was not her power that brought the first ones to life. She was merely a tool that the deceased gods of light used as a way to revive their power." Lilith suddenly revealed.

Gabriel suddenly taken offense to the fact that the Goddess of Light that he highly revels is called a mere tool. Lilith did not sugar coat her words as that is what the Fallen have told her as they were the first angels that were crafted from parts of the gods of light. She also did not care for the Goddess of Light as she never really looked at the Fallen or the Nephilim as their children.

"It seems that you needed to be educated. I shall be the one to educate you using your death." Gabriel stated as he no longer cared if Lilith lived or died.

In Gabriel's eyes, Lilith committed a capital offense as she degraded the Goddess of Light as a mere tool. He is suddenly burning with intense desire to kill his opponent. Even the calmest of all the angels can be triggered when the right words are spoken.

"Holy Light Armor: Great Sword Guardian!" Gabriel shouted as a pillar of light came crashing down on him.

Gabriel's armor that is already a full on white armor is suddenly transformed into a bulkier one. The bulkier armor is also decorated with winged insignias that are gold in color. The sword of light that he carries even became a great sword while the shield he held could be seen growing to his size.

Gabriel is also covered with a helmet as he looked like a fully armored heavy knight. Even Gabriel's wings could be seen having some metal plates covering the bone structure part to make sure that the enemy does not cut them. Lilith raised her brows upon seeing this as Gabriel's power increased two-fold.

"I only told the truth. If you are triggered by the truth then live in the falsehoods that your petty goddess made you believe." Lilith stated which provoked Gabriel even more.

"I shall cut your tongue first, wench." Gabriel stated as he charged towards Lilith.

Lilith knew that she cannot just brush off attacks from Gabriel at that form which is why she also took out her weapon. Lilith suddenly materialized a weapon made of darkness that is in the form of a scythe. The blade of the scythe looked like the wing of a demon, and she met her weapon with Gabriel's.

Gabriel is shocked that Lilith could actually catch his attack easily. The petite body of Lilith would not be expected to hold that much power but she is easily meeting Gabriel's empowered attack. The alarm bells suddenly started ringing inside of Gabriel's head as he identified Lilith as a major threat.

The Nephilim were not just erased by other angels because the Goddess of Light deemed them dirty or unwanted. They were erased due to being a being that has the abilities of an angel yet not bound by the Goddess of Light. What the Goddess of Light fears more is a more powerful light element user to ascend into godhood.

Angels can never become gods, but the Nephilim are not bound by this rule that the Goddess of Light created. Fearing that the power might be divided to a more powerful light element user, the Goddess of Light Luminaria eliminated anyone that might get in her way. She has already eliminated her master and friend. What is stopping her from doing it to those that she does not even know.

"I need to kill her or else she might become a huge threat later on." Gabriel thought as he could feel that Lilith's energy is not stable.

"What are you thinking?" Lilith stated as she suddenly aimed her scythe towards Gabriel's neck.

Gabriel managed to block the attack using his shield but he could see that his shield was scratched. The fact that the shield was scratched made him even surer that Lilith might be their downfall. Lilith, on the other hand, was not even paying all her attention on Gabriel as she was glancing towards Ark and the others.
