Versatile: Alternate World-Chapter 639 Violence Of High Angels
With the relay of Harmless Sparrow, we immediately proceed to go to the village. Alain happened to be there so he also decided to join us to see what is happening as well. Rushing to the village, what we saw when we arrived is a bit of a disastrous event. Looking at what happened, it looked like they got passed on by a tornado, and every single house was destroyed as a result. Of course, that's not the end as the other thing that made me frown is the fact that the bodies of angels were littered on the ground, bathing in blood, and all of them are killed in the most brutal ways possible that I can only imagine seeing in zombie games with brutal gore mechanics in their gameplay. Seeing it on angels is a little bit different.
BOOM!
An explosion occurred, not too far from our current location. The three of us looked at each other and nodded before we headed to where the ruckus happened. Continuous explosions happened in quick succession as we are approaching the location of the big explosions.
"Over there!" Alain pointed and what we saw are armored angels that looked like the angels depicted in many pieces of literature when they are going to war. Fully geared from head to toe with only the exception of their wings, not in armor. 𝑓𝙧𝘦𝘦we𝘣𝙣𝘰𝘃𝗲l.com
With them are golems, also fully armored, firing beams of beams that destroy the buildings like a wrecking ball.
Because these angels are immediately in hostile mode even though we have not met them yet, there is no need to pause and stop what I am doing. Pulling out the Pain Delivery, I aimed, and pulled the trigger, killing the golems one by one before they can rise up again by hitting the cores.
This was enough to cause the angels to look in our direction. But it no longer was my job to handle them as Alain and Sigma charged at them, with Sigma sending her golden chains while Alain charged straight with his shield and sword.
But the angels were quick and blocked their attacks like nothing. The golden chains didn't even manage to pierce their armor which should have been capable of tearing armor like thin paper.
"The rebels are here! KILL THEM!"
The moment one of the angels screamed, the other angels came running along with their golems in tow. I took advantage that the golems are slow moving so before they can even take advantage of their firepower to devastate everything. I shot them with multiple bullets and brought them all down.
"Leader! Our golems are no longer capable of moving! They are all out of commission and their cores cannot be salvaged anymore!"
"Forget about the golems! We will crush the opposition with our own strength!"
All of the Angels are Blessed Defenders, a branch of the Holy Knight class. No wonder they are too tough to handle, the defensive class of the Holy Knight is the guardians and although they are a bit weaker than the Guardians, a branch of the Paladin class, they still are not to be underestimated as they still possess quite a bit of firepower and they excel in both offense and defense.
I didn't bother to use the Pain Delivery as they have a passive of [Projectile Immunity] which allows them to gain no damage to any projectile-based attacks. It's kind of broken in the PVP in the game but only if they are facing range-specializing players like Gunslingers and Rangers. They are useless most of the time if the enemy goes into melee mode which both gunslingers and Rangers can both do and they are not immune to projectile magic so they are still in a bad position.
"I counted 12 of them, be careful guys. We can't let them overwhelm us easily," I relayed to them and they nodded.
The angels deployed their shields and pulled out their greatswords by raising them in the sky. They are summoning a being of the holy. However, if they think I didn't know what they are doing then they are entirely wrong.
"[Rending Slash]!"
VIZZZZZZ!
The sound of ripping the air echoed as the slash traveled and before the angels can realize it, 3 of the soldiers had their swords fell down, stopping the summoning process to happen. The summoning can't occur if there are not enough people who can perform it. Three of them cannot wield the sword anymore the moment they received the [Rending Slash] head-on.
"UGH! MY HANDS! MY HANDS!"
The Three angels were horrified when their hands left their arms as the [Rending Slash] cut them smoothly.
"Raise your shields men! Don't let the rebels win!"
I shook my head in response. Even with their overwhelming defenses, the Versatile Weapon's ability to ignore defense completely works well in penetrating the attacks to them without any problem. Compared to me, both Alain and Sigma are having trouble with them. Alain's weapons are not suited for combat against the armor of these Angels causing him to struggle. As for Sigma, the reason she is struggling is not because of her weapon of choice but because of how her class and their class are both Holy Knights. With the angels having the ability to manipulate the holy powers that Sigma uses, most of her attacks are not effective or completely nullified as a result.
Due to this, I decided to help them in the fight and buff them up. Because most of my buff abilities do not have much impact on our current situation, I decided to help them out using some of the scrolls and tear apart buff-related scrolls and even throw some splash potions that would help out as well.
[Enhance Attack]
[Penetration Up]
[Ignore Invincible] pan(da-n0vel.c)om
[Dark Attribute Infusion]
[Critical Up]
[Greater Darkness Blessing]
[Agility Up]
[Defense Reduction Up]
These are the scrolls I have torn into two to help the two from their struggles. That way, these guys won't be as troublesome as they should be.
"Sh*t! They used scrolls! And a hefty amount as well!"
"Don't worry about the scrolls! Kill them as fast as you can and you wouldn't need to worry about a damn scroll at all!"
The angels decided to abandon their defenses and decided to attack but before they can even strike to attack, I activated [Taunt], redirecting all the attacks that should have been to Alain and Sigma to move on me. They might have tried to attack with their all might, but with the shield that represents Pride, a mere greatsword of the armored angels doesn't bring much help.
PENG PENG PENG! f𝘳𝚎𝑒𝚠𝑒𝚋𝘯o𝘃eƖ.co𝓂
"What?!"
As their swords landed on my shield, I immediately deflected them and activated [Shield Bash]. Because of my close proximity to them, all of the guys who attacked couldn't escape the attack.
BANG!
The angels were sent flying in the distance as they almost endure the damage taken from the shield bash.
"Fire them with the power of our light! Defeat the evil and banish them from this world!"
The other angels nodded and their greatswords started glowing in golden light.
"Careful Bladeheart! That skill can penetrate armor and ignore defenses!"
Hearing that they ignore defenses, I immediately changed the form of the Versatile Weapon into a gauntlet and dashes to the incoming soldier. Seeing me get close, he immediately swings his sword down in my direction. With quick reflexes, I swiped underneath the direction of the sword and delivered an uppercut.
CRACK!
A loud crack of metal and bones alike can be heard after my fist lands. When I looked at the guy who landed on the ground, the helmet he is wearing is destroyed and now beyond recognition, and since it was crushed, his face was crushed as well. Seeing that he is no longer moving, I managed to kill him without much problem.
Despite that, the others didn't stop and think twice and attacked as well. Of course, I just dodged and repeat the process. With Greatswords being a slow weapon, dodging it wasn't even a big problem.
As always, because their attacks are pretty much delayed because of how the Greatsword limits their speed, I can immediately dodge and deal with an attack before they can even finish their swing, canceling their attacks as a result.
"F*CK! No one told me one of them is a beast at fighting! Retreat! Don't bother fighting them! Report these to the higher-ups!"
"Oh no, you can't do that!" Sigma grinned and had her golden chains bind every single fleeing angel. Sure, their attacks don't work against them but it's a different story after binding them from their movements using the chains.
Alain is coming in and using his expertise in the sword, he exquisitely executed all of the angels in one strike. It wouldn't have been possible without the buffs he received but that was still quite an efficient way to kill the enemies in one blow.
"And finally, we are done," Alain sighed as he looked at the dead soldiers. His blade, was tainted with the drops of blood of the angels.
