Chapter 42 – Support
Halvard: This is bad… assassins come out! Subjugate him! He will be an important piece in our research!
With a Halvard’s call a group of luminants dressed in black came out from the shadows. As they all headed towards Rezald with tremendous speed, Rezald gritted his teeth, his golden eyes shone as it directly looks at the assassins as if it was piercing through them. The assassins trembled… but still continued as they know he was just a B rank moments before… little did they know that he had ascended upon his return from the infinite meadow so his rank is now A-E and not only that… his weapon… is not a simple Manaform equip… they thought it was like Halvards which just shows the maximum potential of his powers associated with his rank but it does more than that… for a certain amount of time it doesn’t just maximizes his potential while equipped but also boost him through his limits!
Everyone including Fre and Fala wanted to help but it would seem that their mana was used up… the angels used their mana for 3 day substituting with each other as they would need to fill the ceremonial artifact to complete the marriage contact… normally it would take a month or so to finish it but Halvard was forcing them so they had no choice, as for Frei and Fala, fighting with their beast form does use too much mana but they were fighting it the whole time trying to free themselves from Halvard control so they forcefully tried to deplete their mana so that they would lose consciousness instead of being used by this despicable man who knew that it they would regret this decision now their fate lies with Nelus and Rezald as for Zala she was protecting the others from harm as they remain helpless...
The group of assassins surrounded him they were at least 7 of them. They all used "Luminant Arts Stance 8, Reflection Drive"… They all moved as they formed multiple afterimages around him as they threw their knives as what seemed to be a hundred knives headed towards him it was as if time slowed down as he opens his eyes wide while his golden eye shone further. He spins his spear on his back as he deflects some of the knives heading to his back as he maneuvers it to deflect the ones on the side. He then thrust the spear as the force of it deflects those on the front. Still the assassins kept circling him with afterimages as they went even faster! All the deflected knives were caught and thrown again except with some more knives with explosives mixed in with them. His golden eye dulled as his green eyes glowed a like lustrous emerald he then grinned with confidence as the assassins were slightly affected by his demeanor…
"Reflection Drive" is mostly like an infinite loop as it keeps repeating and repeating so they thought that they can wear him out as they consists of A ranks and S ranks but their mistake is that they underestimated him… with his new found abilities and also the spear Lasteon he had more than equaled their strength together. He then uses one of the skills that came with the gift that Genbalt gave him… as his weapon had a likeness to elemental equip as it can manifest a certain element but unlike the elemental equip it is more like of a mana weapon it can be used for skills! It can also change its forms like mana weapons! His spear glowed in an emerald luster manifesting the element of the earth.
He then thrust it towards the ground as a compressed density wall of earth appeared around him as it completely deflects the knives. Then the explosion occurred around the wall… As they thought that it was over as the dust clears the wall remains unscathed. Still, using this chance they jumped over the ledge of the wall to surround him and trap him inside it but he was not there anymore… bewildered they paused for a second… but that second was enough for Rezald. He suddenly appears from the ground far away from the wall he then smashes the blunt tip of his spear to the ground as the wall of earth extends and widens while contracting the ledge and letting them fall in as the wall closes its top and crushing the luminants within it… it was the skill,
Halvard: Dae! Quickly… I am near to killing this man keep him preoccupied!!
Dae: …
Following Halvard’s orders Dae tried to obstruct Rezald as Halvard plunges the sword deeper into Nelus.
Halvard: Hahahaha!! It is done!!
Rezald: Nnnoooo!!!
Nelus: …
Halvard: Now he is finally dead!!
Nelus: (It just turned me back to my non physical form… got to do something before he notices…)
Nelus then back a few steps as fast as he can and used his skill Materialize.
Halvard: Ahaahahah!!!... wha… what!?
Halvard had a dumbfounded look on his face… he didn’t see Nelus’ movements as he was too fast nor did he see Nelus change back… he thought while he was holding the sword it was still plunged inside Nelus…
Halvard: Yaaahhh!!
Rezald: I won’t let yoooouuuu!!! Get out of my way!!!
Halvard then rushed to Nelus to try to stab him again. As Nelus was prepared this time he then grabs the blade with his hands as some blood flows out. Dark rings gathered in front of Dae’s mouth as he tried to charge his attack speedily. Seeing that Dae’s attack would be troublesome, Rezald rushed towards Dae and thrust his spear into Dae’s mouth… his spear then glowed a yellow light shattering the dark rings and killing Dae… The light glow isn’t like lightning which static when released nor is it the light element as it was too dense… it was an element that is extremely rare… it had the holy element imbued within it… still Halvard was unaffected by Dae’s death.… and continued to plunge the sword into Nelus as… Nelus opened his Spatial storage as his other hand holds the blade he then grabs and pulls something within it… it was Kaikus… the golden long sword…
He then slashes the sword downwards into Arkeam as Halvard grinned as it didn’t destroy it… still, his face turned unsightly as a massive force smashed him downwards as he bashes into the ground forming a crater around him… it was one of Kaikus’ skills, Crush+. Nelus then backed away as Halvard staggers and regains his composure as he glares immensely at Nelus. He then charges at Nelus as his eyes turned red…
Nelus: Rezald… keep him busy.
Rezald: Roger! Bro Nelus!!
Rezald smiled… obviously exhilarated to fight besides Nelus… his heart went faster as his spirit rose to knew heights… he was determined to obstruct Halvard as with as much time as Nelus needs. Rezald then appeared near Halvard’s side as he had a beastly grin… when Halvard finally notices it, it was too late… the spear glowed and emerald and golden luster mixed together… he then thrust the spear unto Halvard as Halvard was then sent flying a few meter as blood gushed out from his side… he was astonished that his armor was broken on its side as a hole was showing… in his mind he wanted to kill Nelus at all cost as Arkeam should’ve killed him as Nelus… At first he thought he was an immortal, if so why didn’t he die? Second he thought that he was mortal… but he was not obviously the latter… what he didn’t know is that in front of him was a God!! He then charges towards Nelus direction again…
Rezald: Old man, I don’t know you but you really are stubborn, you know that?
Halvard: Mortal brat! Do you think you can stop me!?
Rezald: I think I am more than enough!
Rezald grinned as an emerald and golden light appeared and surrounded him… as Halvard trembled slightly… The light then materializes on him as a brace helm, an armor chest piece, and bottom armor piece like a light-armored paladin, which looked like it was made of gold with emerald outlines… It was the legendary
Halvard: What…
Nelus: I shall show you the true might of a pure X-S rank spell…
[Gather to me o flames of the underworld. I summon thee from the gates of darkness. Shine now under the sky and feed yourself with those of light. Illuminate the world in your judgement.
Sealed flames which holds the power to devour all, heed my command and rise. Eat thy enemies and destroy thou soul. Thou have converged from the path of righteousness. Dwell, dwell unto me o flames of darkness.]
This narrative has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. If you see it on Amazon, please report it.
On Nelus’ sword appears a blood red flame whose power can be felt by Halvard as he then trembled… fear reached his heart… as desperation came…
Halvard: A complete first verse!? Wait… his not stopping… nnooo!! Get out of my way!! Can’t you see you will be affected too!!??
Rezald: I trust bro Nelus more then anyone!
Halvard: Foolish!
[Gather to me o flames of heaven. I summon thee from the gates of light. Shine now above the earth and feed yourself with those of darkness. Illuminate the world in your judgement.
Honored flames which holds the power to purify all, heed my command and rise. Eat thy enemies and purify thou soul. Thou have converged from the path of truth. Dwell, dwell unto me o flames of light.]
Another flame appeared, this time was a pure crimson colored flame… it then mixes with the blood red flame forming a small figure like that of a miniature star…
Halvard then rushed towards Rezald as his sword turned into a hammer and smashes it into Rezald. Rezald then fearlessly smiled as his spear turned into a greatsword and slashes the hammer as the hammer was blasted back by a massive force… Halvard’s face turns red in anger as his hammer turned into a bow… he quickly retreats as he aimed for Nelus… a gigantic arrow formed as Halvard releases it while laughing, thinking it was over as Rezald’s speed wasn’t enough to catch up with it… at least that is what he calculated… Rezald gritted his teeth as a green and yellow aura forms around him and his greatsword… his greatsord then shone intensely as it’s form changes… it became a staff…
Rezald: Like I would let you!!!
Rezald then gathers mana into the staff and increase its output with all his might… blood drip on the side of his mouth as he was slowly nearing his limits. What he was using now was Form Up! It changes the Mana weapon or Manaformed weapon into its hidden form… only a few of them has this skill and it is one of the most powerful skill for mana weapon users there is… what makes them formidable is the weapon’s increase in rank and not only that it multiplies the users power… the consequences is that if you make one wrong move it might cost the users life… still Rezald didn’t care as he promised he would risk it for Nelus… using a large amount of mana…
Halvard: How is this possible…
The arrow then stops in front to Nelus as if frozen in the air… Rezald then cast
[Ravage the land with flames that lights the world. Plunge it with deep crimson… Judgement Star.]
Nelus then release the star like flame,
???: Please! Don’t kill my father!!!
Nelus twitched as he stops supplying the star with mana… but even if it was incomplete… it is enough to kill almost anyone… there… The star explodes as the Nelus then hears someone cry… it was Roy…
Nelus: (Ren…)
Roy: Please save my father… I beg you…
Nelus: …
Immediately I cast
Frei: Why did you save that man Lord Nelus!!!???
All-others-in-unison: Yeah why!!
Rezald: I… think if it is Bro Nelus… there must be some… special reason why he did it…
Rezald said wearily with a smile on his face… it was as Rezald said… I cannot make Roy cry… as he was Ren… Lina’s little brother… while on the common world I usually visit him and his family and we became friends… as a friend I want to protect his happiness… how fitting it is that you have your father’s name… Ren or should I call you Roy now?
Roy: Is father… alive?
Nelus: …Yes… Ciall… you take it from here… Roy I am afraid that your father will stay in the angel’s custody indefinitely but rest assured they won’t kill your father…
Roy: I know my father is… a bad man but he is still my father and I want to protect him…
Nelus: You can visit him anytime… is that okay Ciall?
Ciall: Hahh… well you are our savior… how could I say no…
Yeuhl: Now, now dear… Lord Nelus… I should thank you for releasing us from that man’s control and saving us all especially…
Lina: Uncle!! Uncle!! You hurt?
Nelus: I’m fine…
As I gently stroke Lina’s head… Zala then approached me all flustered…
Zala: Thanks Nelus… also wear this… all of you girls stop looking!! You too Jisa!
Zala then gives me a new a cloak using the Spatial Storage imbued crystal I gave Rezald…
It seems my top part of my cloak got ripped off… as only the bottom part remain… Zala find it hard to look at me while the female angels stared intently… as Jisa drooled a little… they then panicked when Zala noticed and flew away…
Roy: Lord Majesty?
Ciall: Hmm?
Roy: Can I still visit my father sometimes?
Ciall then looks at me as I give my approval as long as I come with him… so that Halvard can’t escape…
We then returned to the palace to celebrate… as Ciall was in an extremely good mood… Runice was not here as usually she leaves to make artifacts around Alxia so she was unaffected by all of these… we then partied…
Frei: Lord Nelus!! Sorry for attacking you!!
Fala: Me too!! Sorry!!
Frei and Fala prostrated in front of me as everyone stared which I ignore… I then signaled that I forgive them as they smile wholeheartedly… Rezald then approaches while being surrounded by women.
Female Angel#26 : You were so dashing at that time… how about going out with me?
Female Angel#10: No me!!
Rezald: U-umm…
All the female angels started to fight with each other until…
Rezald: I am sorry! But my heart already belongs to Sirian!!
Rezald bowed as the women sighed while smiling wryly as if expecting that Rezald already has someone… as in their minds someone as dashing as Rezald… one wouldn’t believe that he had not been approached before… still they all tried… Rezald then headed towards Nelus…
Rezald: Bro Nelus!
Nelus: Rezald… you have gotten stronger…
Rezald: It is all because of lord Genbalt! It seems I have become his champion.
Rezald whispered…
Nelus: (His champion… so the chances that he already knows is high… then I don’t need to hide it from him anymore… when I have the chance… I will come back to my realm and tell him…)
Rezald: From now on please take care of me…
Nelus: Same to you…
Rezald grinned as Zala approaches…
Zala: Nelus… things had been pretty hectic… but it was fun being with you… I mean!! Uhmm… whenever you need me I will be there just ask!! Goodbye!
Nelus: Alrigh…
As Zala panicked she was preparing to say something but didn’t have the courage to do so and left immediately.
Ciall: Nelus are you enjoying the celebration?
Nelus: Yes.
Lina: Uncle! Uncle! Very strong!! Ehe.
Lina looked at me with sparkling eyes as she witnessed me saving her at the time in the palace… she now looks at me with a hint of admiration.
Ciall: Say Nelus…
Nelus: What…
Ciall: Please join the divine academy!! I know you had gone through so much but we are in a bit of a predicament in the academy.
Nelus: I am afraid that no one can teach me… as I already have great knowledge acquired from books.
Ciall: No! I meant as a teacher!! Please!
Nelus: …
