Chapter 16: He Is Mine

It’s been 5 months since everyone came back and the kingdom of Thanatos was on the rise. People from all over were coming to seek refuge or join in the ranks of his army. Nate walked around his town of now 9,000 people seeing homes, shops, vendors, schools but best of all, people. And they’re happy.

A kid walked up to Nate with an apple.

“Lord Ward, please have this,” said the boy.

“Oh, thanks, but I don’t need this. You take it and give it to your mother. I think she’ll like it more.”

“Oh well of course she would, sir.”

The kid then hugged him out of nowhere.

“Thanks for taking me and my family in.”

“Of course, anytime.”

Nate gives the kid a hug back before going on his way to the blacksmith’s. When he walked into the beautiful shop, he saw a display. It looked to be armor but with a blanket over it.

“Oh, lord Ward, I wasn’t expecting you for another 30 minutes,” said Robert.

“That’s true, but I asked for this 5 months ago.”

“Yes, but lord Ward, I wanted the best for you.”

“I understand, I was only joking.”

“Yes, well let me show you the armor set I have made for you.”

Robert was about to take off the blanket, but the armor fell over due to an explosion. It made Robert fall, but Nate was only a little shaken up.

“Sir, the armor, I can get it on you in a minute.”

“Do it.”

When all the armor was on Nate, a system message came up.

Armor Of The Made King

This armor has the ability to boost you and your allies in a battle.

+40 Strength

+20 Agility

Nate had on banded mail armor top and shoulders with a barbute helmet. He also had on Closed Greaves, Tassets, and arm armor. Under all that was a padded suit acting as under armor. He still had his cloak on over it.

Nate walked out to see a man flying above, looking down to him.

“I am the archangel, Michael. I was given a message to seek you out and kill you in the name of God. You, Nate Ward, are my enemy, and the enemy of GOD. YOU MUST FALL.”

The man was in blue robes with silver and gold armor, and big white wings on his back. He had a long sword in one hand.

“Angel, god, what is this nonsense you speak? And why are you here, we are peaceful people,” said Nate.

“You fight for this fake god of death, I fight for God himself and he sent me to kill you.”

Nate summoned his sword and looked up at the man. The black cloaks showed up.

“Men, stay back, he’s mine. Be on the lookout just in case he has back up.”

Nate bent down in a ready position. He jumped towards the flying man. Nate grabbed him mid air with force. They landed not too far away but far enough that no one would be in the way. Nate got up, and so did his enemy.

There was not much damage. but he was hurt. “So he is my level, or a bit above a level..” Nate thought. He was looking at the men for a weak spot, but this thing is like him and is hard to read.

Nate went for the attack. He went for his legs first. Nate wasn’t trying to hit, but instead hiding his true target when he attacked. Nate went a little further than usual and moved his blade to stab him in the back, but Michael's sword caught the attack.

Nate was going for his wings, but Michael protects them well. Michael turned around to meet Nate face to face. They were going blow for blow. Nate found his match. This man was able to stand up to Nate, even at his higher level.

Nate had made it to level 21 in the past months, boosting his power to a whole new level.

The only thing that makes Nate better is his new armor, putting him just above Michael or so he thought. It’s possible that he has armor that boosts his abilities, but to Nate it doesn’t matter. This man came to his home. Nate went for an attack, but he missed and had a sword in his stomach. He looked up to see Michael with a look of sadness. The sword was pulled out, and Nate fell.

“I feel bad for you, but god will take you in. He will forgive you. I’m sorry, you poor child.”

Nate looks up with his hand on his stomach, trying to hold the blood in. Michael had his sword above his head, ready to strike down to end Nate. As soon as the sword came down, it was blocked by Autumn, and then Will drop kicked Michael.

“No no, you can’t keep up with him,” said a pained Nate.

“Don’t worry, lord Ward. We’ll save you this time.”

They fought, but Michael was keeping up with them. They were fighting hard and staying concentrated, but he was relaxed taking his time to find an opening. And he did, he was able to knee Will in the face and make him drop on 1 knee. Michael kicked him in the leg, barking at him. Will screamed out in pain. Autumn saw all of it, making her mad and blind him. She went for an attack but he hit her in the stomach and grabbed her by the neck.

“What a sad child you are, but I will send you to him, and your sins will be forgiven.”

Michael got his sword ready to stab her. Nate was a witness to everything, he had to get up. He needed to get up get up get up get up-

“Nate GET UP!”

Nate stood up like a man possessed by a demon.
