Chapter 1002: Angelina’s Holy Power
—–
Angelina watched from afar as the fight between the two titans continued. Not too far from her, Elena and Mark were constantly mowing down foes, accompanied by all their allies.
Her party kept itself together though, Angelina leading them with her flying abilities, superior speed and powerful spear techniques and light magic, Anikitty and Erdrich unleashed their summons and buffs and debuffs, and then Gandalf conjured the strongest magic he could muster.
It wasn’t a perfect team though; Angelina wasn’t the best tank, and she was a flashy fighter. Although her class was similar to a Paladin in many ways, her defenses weren’t the highest out there, and although she possessed defensive skills and a strong shield, she wasn’t a tank.
Nonetheless, with the help of General Crimson and his army of mighty soldiers which included Majin, Divine Dragons, and Ancient Elves in their ranks, they were doing an excellent job circling the pit, evading the gigantic blazing hands of the Demon King and rapidly making their way to one of the two last altars.
“We’re almost there!”
As Angelina roared, she spread out her wings, releasing bombardments of feathered projectiles. Which rapidly descended and reached the cultists and monsters below, explosions of light consuming everything.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The explosions of light consumed the monsters, as Angelina rapidly descended, using her divine spear to quickly pierce through and skewer countless miasmic, demonic, and undead monsters at once.
Her stats wouldn’t allow her such amazing feats, but thanks to Elayne’s Domain and her Skills, Angelina’s stats were at least almost seven times as high as before.
This coupled with the support of her party and also of the army of NPCs behind her made of this fight something possible.
“We’re almost there!”
As she charged forwards, the group greeted the cultists surrounding the Altar. There were at least ten of them surrounding it. Their security having tightened after seeing the other Altars getting destroyed so easily.
“Stop them from advancing!”
“Don’t let them touch the altar!”
“Kill them!”
The Demonic Cultists rushed towards them, three of these demonic monstrosities reached Angelina in the skies, using wings of their own. Their eyes glaring at her furiously as punches, kicks, claws, bites, and beams of demonic light constantly attempted to rip her to shreds.
“Dammit! Move!”
Angelina roared, her holy light exuding from her body. Her wings released a myriad feather projectile, bombarding the cultists one after another. Then, she rushed towards them and used her spear to pierce their bodies a dozen times each.
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
However, the cultists bodies started to meld together as they burned from Angelina’s attacks, fusing into a single monstrosity, and quickly punching the Valkyrie down with a powerful downward fist.
“RAAAH!”
BAAAM!
Angelina fell down, impacting the ground below and vomiting blood while feeling her ribs pierce her lungs. She slowly stood back up, Elayne’s domain rapidly healing her back to full.
“As long as Planta’s Domain is active, it doesn’t matter if I take some wounds…!”
Although the domain could heal them quickly and it was a good safeguard, if they were overwhelmed and attacked too many times consecutively, the healing speed of Elayne’s Domain wouldn’t be enough, killing them anyways.
“GRAAAH!”
The fused Demonic Cultist Aberration descended, resembling a giant mass of bulging muscles. Angelina parried the incoming blows with her shield and her spear, explosions of holy light and demonic flames erupting every time they exchanged strikes.
BAAM! BAAM! BAAM!
Ultimately, Angelina knew her basic abilities and skills wouldn’t do. So she quickly started activating something else, her own Divine Skill. Something she had acquired from the shared rewards of Hephaestus’ World Quest, which she had received anyways after ending up counting as a party member.
Although Elena’s party came too late to receive the rewards, the system did include Angelina’s party as “helpers” ending up giving them precious items, such as the Divine Skill Fusion Marble!
With that, Angelina created a powerful and incredible Skill, something she had only been using in times of need.
And right now, there was no better time.
“I’LL KILL YOU!”
The chimeric aberration rushed towards her, yet Angelina stood there in silence. A rain of magic descended over the monster; Gandalf conjured his magic to stop it from advancing. And then Erdrich and Anikitty sent their summons, Undead of many types and Yokai of various shapes.
The summons was being easily crushed by the chimeric fusion of many Demonic Beasts, but this gave Angelina enough time to activate her Divine Skill.
“{Heavenly Archangel Embodiment}!”
Suddenly, the skies above opened up, as a flash of pure divine light struck down Angelina, her entire body disintegrated and then was completely reformed. The presence of an Archangel appeared, even if briefly. The Demon King and Elayne both glanced towards Angelina’s direction for a second or two!
Angelina’s new form emerged amidst the light; her body seemed to be made completely of the very divine light that struck her body. With six wings behind her back and crown-shaped halo on top of her head, she truly resembled an Archangel.
Her long hair had become something similar to a sea of liquid gold, and her clothes, armor, or even her face were gone. The only thing remaining in her “face” were two sharp, glowing white eyes, amidst her body made of golden light.
“RAAAH!”
The chimeric fusion between cultists roared, freeing himself from the armies of summons from Angelina’s friends and rushing towards her. A dozen pentagrams were summoned, firing beams of darkness and demonic flames against her.
Yet Angelina rushed through them, her body made of divine heavenly light simply took them all in and received no damage. In a second, she appeared above the chimeric beast, her spear descending towards its body.
“{Judgement of the Righteous}!”
FLAAASH!
Her spear became a gigantic arch of light, completely obliterating the monstrous beast, and making it turn into ashes in a split second.
BOOOM!
It wasn’t even able to scream in agony before it completely disappeared!
And Angelina didn’t waste time, she quickly lunged her spear towards the altar, shattering it within a mere second.
CRASH!
The black moonlight crumbled into pieces; its barriers pierced without effort.
And the Demon King’s Manifestation started “glitching”, its form beginning to melt.
Only one Altar left.
