I Just want a Peaceful life

838 Reverse Situation

[Divine Magic - Angel Descent] A giant winged figure with a white-clothed hood appeared from the magic circle. It holds a mighty mace and shield that exudes a majestic divine aura. A powerful aura also radiated from the winged figure that pressed down everyone.

The Extermination squad feels their body is so heavy with intense uneasiness in their heart. As for Otebon, he thinks of facing His Majesty King Leon's full power. On the other hand, Ian's group is better than everyone else.

All of them have experienced 'death' a few times, not to mention Millie. As the rare soul power user, she often gets in touch with unworldly things.

'No matter how I see it, nothing could compare with his soul. What is he?' thought Millie inwardly.

As she had this thought, a black grimoire floats near her before opening and flipping its pages [Soul Chain]. A gray thorny chain came out from the cracking space and entangled the winged Angel. The chain gives a vibe of a deathly aura with an eerily mysterious feeling.

*GROOAHHH* The winged figure struggles and tries to break the deathly Soul Chain. However, it is a futile effort. No matter what it did, it couldn't break or even leave a scratch on it. It is as if the Soul Chain is made of indestructible material.

"Impossible!!" exclaimed the assailant in the air.

Using this opportunity, Otebon jumps in the air and approaches the assailant in the air.

"Burst.. Blazefury!!" muttered Otebon solemnly.

A powerful fire mana erupted from Otebon as the spear in his hand disappeared. A moment later, a red line covered the assailant's body in the air [Blazefury - Rose Lace].

*BOOOOM* These red lines suddenly turned into an intense fire explosion like a blooming rose. With the fall of their strongest and the bounded Angel in the air, the attacker starts to falter and quickly gets apprehended by the elite extermination squad.

Unbeknown to everyone, a thin slender masked person somehow sneaks in, approaching the prisoner box while everyone is preoccupied.

"Huh?!! A strange person?" exclaimed Axel while looking at the thin man.

"Damn!! How come he just walked there!! Everyone, there is a person there!!" shouted Axel.

His loud shout attracted Ian and the others, along with a few extermination squads. Only at this moment does everyone realize a slender black-clothed man is wearing a creepy mask with a sword on his back.

No matter how you look at it, the person is suspicious while wearing such attire, especially in the middle of the day. Still, everyone only noticed him once Axel reminded everyone. Even Axel only notices the person after the surrounding elemental spirit tells him.

The elite knights who guarded the prisoner box immediately attacked this unknown assailant. *Swish* *Swish* *Swish* Before they could move further, they felt pain along with warm blood all over their body.

In contrast, the thin masked man continued to move towards the prisoner box without worry. The sword on his back is now in his hand. A moment later, the masked man arrived in front of the black square prisoner box.

Since Gofrey is a full-fledged sixth-grade combatant, Otebon doesn't want to take a risk and immediately puts him inside the most powerful prisoner box. This box is heavily enchanted and made of various hard alloy materials.

Moreover, it is designed so that anyone inside the box gets their mana sapped over time to maintain the box-heavy enchantment. This way, even if the box could be destroyed from the outside, it would leave the prisoner weak or powerless without energy.

Without wasting more time, the masked man swung his sword to cut open the prisoner box. *CLANG* Unfortunately, before the sword blade touches the box, it clashes with a gray metallic chain. Seeing the familiar indestructible chain, the masked man stares at Millie not far from him.

In contrast, Millie coldly looks back at him while stretching her hand towards the box. She knows with such an agile person, there is little hope for her Soul Chain to catch him. But she could still protect the prisoner box using her indestructible Soul Chain.

Facing such an indestructible chain, the thin masked man immediately charged towards Millie. No matter how powerful a magic is, it will still break if the caster is killed.

"Who do you think you are?!!" roared Otebon in anger.

He stabs his spear fiercely into the masked man from above [Spear Art - Flash Torch]. *BOOOOM* A large shockwave and fire erupted from the attack. As the dust settled down, Otebon faced the slender masked man at close range without moving.

*SPURT* Suddenly, a burst of blood comes out from Otebon as he slumps to the ground, losing his power. On the other hand, the masked man only got a few burn marks and bruises all over his body.

"*Cough*… E.. Formation E!!" shouted Otebon with all his strength.

At once, the surrounding Extermination Knights decisively throw Fire Spear toward Otebon and the masked man. *CLANG* *BOOOM* *BOOOM* *BOOOM* The masked man swung his sword and deflected all the fire spears.

Unfortunately, this is not an ordinary fire spear since it will explode upon contact. This single mistake made him unable to react properly to the following Fire Spear, even with his speed.

During this chaos, no one notices a blue-haired woman approaching the bombardment area quickly. She completely ignores the Fire Spear raining down on the area and is swiftly covered in beautiful blue flame.

*WHOOSHH* A few seconds later, Mia carried Otebon away from the area and slowly healed him with her phoenix fire.

"*Cough* *Cough* Thanks for your help, lad." said Otebon with difficulty while forcefully taking potion and struggling to stand up.

"You should take it easy. Or do you just want to experience death?" chimed Mia coldly.

"*Cough* Haha… If I fall here, *Cough* Who will catch those bastards?!" replied Otebon, glaring at the bombardment area.

"Hmph… Suit yourself." replied Mia shortly.

"How long could your friend hold that chain?" asked Otebon.

"...As long as she wants." said Mia after thinking for a moment.

Hearing her answer, Otebon knew Mia didn't want to reveal more about her friend's ability or magic. But, her answer also gives enough information for the next plan he made.

As the leader of the Extermination Squad, he always deals with unexpected situations while on the field. This forces him to have an adaptable mind to plan the next move.

Combined with his indomitable will, he could always think of a counter plan even on the brink of death. As the Fire Spear stops, the masked man swiftly rushes towards Millie.

On the other hand, Ian and Axel are ready to fight the masked man. Ian holds the silver-white eagle in his hand while charging it with a lot of lightning elemental mana.

"Filkas!! [Beast Tamer - Familiar Bolt]" shouted Ian as he threw the eagle towards the incoming masked man.

Filkas turn into a white silver ball containing lightning elemental. *CLANG* In a split second, it clashes with the masked man's sword. This surprised the masked man since he didn't expect the attack to be able to catch his speed.

On the other hand, Axel also does not stay idle either. He holds his hand near his chest while closing his eyes. At this moment, a powerful aura radiates from him. A colorful sparkling light hovered all over him. Then, he pointed his finger at the masked man.

"Thunder…" muttered Axel solemnly.

*BBZZTT* *CRACK* *BOOM* A powerful lightning bolt from the dark sky cloud hits the masked man and Filkas. Energized by the lightning bolt, Filkas's ball lightning shines brighter before pushing the masked man back.

Knowing he couldn't get entangled with these people, the masked man decisively stepped aside. He ruthlessly let his left arm get hit by Filkas while moving forward. This time, the masked man is no longer wasting time with Ian and Axel but keeps rushing towards Millie in the cornerback.

He has already reached Millie in a moment and ruthlessly brandishes his sword at her. Just as his sword gets near Millie, he finds a black ghastly creature behind Millie. The creature has no body but an enormous mouth revealing a series of pure white teeth.

The creature hovered behind Millie and deathly glared at the masked man. This horrendous creature seems to have haunted the petite girl in front of him. Such a scene shocks the masked man up to his soul.

The masked man somehow thought this petite girl was pure and saintly but haunted by horrifying dirty creatures. He feels like he sees a great treasure but finds it has some dirt on it and subconsciously wants to cleanse it.

The sword directed at her at first suddenly changed towards the ghastly creature behind Millie. At this moment, time seemed to stop. Even the masked man couldn't move at all.

All he could see was the ghastly creature facing him and the sound of fluttering pages. Then, he finds the whole area getting darker as the ghastly creature opens its mouth and swallows the whole man. *CRUNCH* *CRUNCH*

"ARRGHHH" screamed the masked man.

"Reject common sense to make the impossible possible." - Simon, Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann.
