Tale of Discovery

Chapter 55: Battle against the winged ones

As soon as Yuno's voice fades out, the world around me suddenly begins to shift as Yuno, Sora, Asia, and the two angels disappear from my sight.

The color of the sky changes to red as everything around me begins to change from what it used to be, to a ruined city.

Floating in the sky, I look down as several bloodied bodies are lying on the ground.

Hey, this reminds me of something...

Suddenly, my sense of time seems to slow down as I feel a projectile being thrown at me from behind.

Focusing, I form a barrier with Vector Manipulation that reflects the projectile. I use my senses and realize that everyone with me here at the moment is the winged people who had arrived later as well as the raging buxom woman.

They are as confused as I am at the moment. Focusing on the direction the projectile came from, I perceive a featherless-winged figure falling down with a burn mark on their chest.

Dare to attack me from behind? How foolish.

It doesn't take long for the others to come to an understanding of their own regarding the current situation.

They immediately lock their eyes on me as they produce several numbers of weaponry using various types of energies.

Now, how do I deal with this?

I have a strong feeling that I can obliterate these guys easily using my various forms of powers, but where's the fun in that?

I have a good idea. Time to experiment with my powers.

Using Rework, I change the way I look so that I seem a few years older than I physically am. Then, I think of various ways I can take them out when suddenly an idea pops up in my head.

Using Illusion and Rework, I make it seem like a huge black dragon has formed out of thin air, which scares the winged guys... a lot.

As they begin to shout at each other some stuff, I think of my current situation a bit. The ones with a pair of black wings are Fallen Angels based on Raynare and the blonde loli whose name I have yet to know.

The ones with a pair of pure-white wings are Angels, once again based on my Angels.

As for the ones with featherless wings, which also doesn't seem to affect their ability of flight, I assume that they are something else entirely. Even the energy they work with seems to be different compared to the Angel's and Fallen Angel's. Devils? Perhaps.

"Are we seriously going to fight against God?", one Angel asks another.

"He is an imposter that has betrayed us," came the reply.

"So he is someone who has betrayed you, huh?", says a Devil in a mocking tone, "You guys can deal with him yourselves then."

"You guys are wrong," a Fallen Angel with two pairs of black wings says, "I don't recall such an Angel existing in Heaven."

They seem to be alerted by what the last guy said as they prepare to attack me however, as if they just realized it, they stare at the "dragon" under me with fear. [A/N: ( ) ]

"We have no other choice. Charge at him all at once!", one of the Angels yells.

And that, they do.

Time to play around a little...

I make the Illusionary Dragon "fly" through the ruined city as they follow behind me.

Then, I make the Illusionary Dragon turn around as I use Pyrokinesis to summon flames out of its mouth, making them all spread out from each other.

Confusing them, I abruptly make the Illusion disappear as I create the sword I used against Ddraig.

Excalibur - Complete.

In a few seconds, the sword has taken form in my hand.

The design of this thing is marvelous.

All of the ones that were chasing after me have a look of abject horror and awe at upon setting their sight on the sword.

Too late.

I use Godspeed to blink from one ant to another, cutting them down easily as they each die in various ways.

Realizing how boring this is, I stop and look at the remaining ants.

What next? Maybe I should try to tier up some of my abilities...

Using creation, I produce a number of bullets in the air, then throw them at several of the ones following me while amplifying its speed using Vector Manipulation.

The ones that were struck in the head fall down, while the others just wince in pain.

I notice that some of them pull out a bottle of some sort of liquid and gulp it down, and the next moment, their expression goes from slightly pained to normal.

What are those? Healing potions?

It doesn't matter for now. All I know is, now that they've healed themselves up, I can try more of my powers on them.

First, I'm curious about the effect of Divine Retribution on Devils, and if I'm able to focus it on one targeted rather than it being an "attack on everyone" attack.

Targeting one of the two female Devils, I attempt to forcefully use Divine Retribution on her, and it works.

The Devils and around her seem to be unaffected while she begins to scream out as her body begins to burn down.

This took way less energy than the normal attack does.

I check my Essence Energy and see that its at 78%.

What should I try out next? Oh, right! I had this thought cross my mind before, but what happens if I use Vector Manipulation to amplify the force behind my attacks?

As an Angel and a Devil both rush at me together, I deflect the force of their attack and use Telekinesis to squeeze their hearts.

I then immediately appear beside the only Angel left and punch him in the guts while using Vector Manipulation to spread the force all over his body and amplify it.

This results in him majestically soaring through the sky and smashing through several buildings before lodging into the wall of a ruined hotel.

Looking at the two Demons left, I create two Glock pistols and aim them at their heads.

The two of them seem to think nothing of it and are planning to use some kind of elemental attack, but before they can do so, I shoot at them, while amplifying the force pushing it.

As expected, they aren't able to react to it as the two bullets pierce right through their heads.

That's enough for today.

I create several ordinary swords and aim at those left then finish them off.

Foolish ants.

How should I get out of here now?

As I'm thinking about doing so, I notice that the buxom lady I had seen before is staring at me from the ground.

Now that I think about it, she didn't face me off in the earlier battle.

Whatever, I'll just kill her and call it a day.

As I create another sword and prepare to run it through her by telekinesis, she immediately kneels down and lowers her head.

{Kalawarner wishes to serve under you.}

Eh? Seriously? So be it, as I have nothing to lose from this anyways.

The next moment, everything around us shatters as I find myself back in the Rift.

A pillar rises as Kalawarner gets converted into an Angel, however, that's not important right now.

Descending onto the ground, I look at Yuno and ask her,

"What was that just now?"
