Jay's time had been entirely wasted since he just stood there without doing anything. And then a notification popped up. Jay removed the phone to check it. Granz saw the phone and laughed.
Granz :
That's quite a piece of ancient history. You have. Which time period did you come from 500 years ago. You should really study today's technology and trends.
Jay was pissed at that comment he very lightly threw his phone. Granz dodged that and began laughing back at Jay until the phone like a boomerang turned back and struck him in the head. A classic move for the unguarded.
Granz :
It seems you have a deathwish son.
Jay had turned off his non emotional setting and thus was able to feel emotions. He was going to let the android go. Until he started insulting him.
Granz :
You should respect your elders. Has Noone in your household taught you manners.
Kitara was busy recording the entire conversation and sending it to the Handler as well as watching over the enemy just in case.
But due to all the commotion her eyes swung to the side. As she saw Granz trying to teach sense to someone very important. Someone who was very recently been very both famous and infamous. The Destroyer of Slave island Jay Garrick.
Kitara ran as she grabbed Granz's head and pummeled it to thr ground.
Kitara :
How much longer will you be a pain.
Kitara looked up and apologized to Jay.
Kitara :
I'm also sorry as my teammate. He's a bit knuckleheaded. Please forgive him.
Rings of victory finally started going of in Jay's mind as he was finally receiving some much deserved respect. Even when he was a king he didn't receive much respect than he did now. As a king of raizon he was more overworked than respected. In the guild he felt like he was taken advantage of. In the capital before the island incident. He was keeping a good profile. And after the incident instead of respect many coveted and we're jealous of his achievements. And before his master asking for some respect is like using an axe on your foot.
Jay forgave him and looked at his phone.
Quest completed.
Reward : + stats, Archangel feathers, fallen's feathers.
Special note :
Getting rewards without doing anything sounds sweet doesn't it.
Archangel feathers :
This feathers of an archangel are created in such a way that it can lift an heavy person into the sky without breaking their structural integrity.
Fallen's feathers :
Darkened feathers caused due to God's defiance. Structurally brittal and break more easily than normal archangel feathers. But still capable of flight.
Jay :
Hey I'm done. What's next?
Handler :
Yes sir Jay. You can return now.
Jay :
Hey your voice sounds familiar.
Jay felt like he had heard the voice before. As it was soft and hearing it made him feel calm.
Handler :
This is the first time I've been in contact with you.
Jay quickly figured out who the voi belonged to.
Jay :
So Viva, how is the experience sitting behind the lines comfortably and sending orders. I saw searching for you on the for lines. Thought you would like to see everything first hand by yourself.
Handler :
I might have to leave this time-line if things go south. And might have to do this for very long. I will be more than welcome for you to take my place.
Viva had taken thr role of Händler and she was Handling all the dispatch orders as well as updating her great grandfather on the situation. This position was suggested by the King himself as she is a time traveler she can move to safety. She gave Jay a piece of her mind.
Jay :
I still have to ask. If you didn't know about me from tour time line. Why did you try to kill me.
The Händler abruptly ended the call.
Jay :
Tch, she definitely knows something.
When Jay forgave Granz Kitara finally dug his head out of the ground. And they promptly flew off leaving the archangel and Jay behind.
Fallen :
Arise my kin. Realize your truth.
The archangel stood up with wings darker than black now in full show. He spread his wings and feathers started falling out of his wings. But when they fell new festhers were made in their place. Thus repeating the cycle.
He looked towards the sun and lifted himself off in order to take revenge of his blind faith.
The fallen grabbed his foot before he could take off and dragged him down back to the earth.
Fallen :
We will have our time. Have patience.
He bent down and fell unconscious. The fallen looked at Jay.
And felt both of the energies of Chaos and Light different from one another in his body. He remembered seeing someone of these energies in the Gathering of Races.
Michael :
I remember seeing you at the gathering of Races. You must be disciple of the Head. It's been decades since he formally took another disciple.
Jay :
And you must be the fallen angel Michael. Weren't you supposed to be trapped in hell for your treachery.
Jay had referred to the tales of a religion in his world. But Michael was confused over his statement.
Michael :
Yes, I was cast out of heaven. But only because I realized something that the other archangels never have. I was too blind in my faith and went too far . Eventually it caused my deserved downfall. Yes, you are now standing before the first and the oldest archangel. I am Michael. Known by many as the fallen.
Michael :
I am peering through your body and I can clearly see what he saw. Why do you have so much Chaos energy embedded inside you.
Jay :
That is a very very long story.
Michael :
Perhaps we can talk over it in the evening. Apostle of Chaos.
Saying this he flew high into the air while carrying the new fallen into his arms. And headed towards the Yggdrasil tree.
Jay also left within a few minutes to the front lines.
Meanwhile on the southernmost front was the fifth seraphim rampaging through the lands. Burning down land, villages, houses anything it deems to belong to the Foundation. It scorched the lands with its flames. As it soared high in the air. And behind it finally the sentinels catching up with the seraphim.
In the southernmost territory, there were many farmers working their fields. And finally we're awaiting their harvest in the spring but the fires of calamity spread as thr Seraphim came down to the human lands for the day of judgement.
Facing them were the brave Unit 2 : Bellor, Tobias and Codena.
One of the reputated Sentinel units which have successfully defeated a throne. We're the trio Bellor, Tobias and Codena. They were given the nickname. The synced. Since they understand each other so well in fact that they were outperforming Kitara at one point. But she struck back by increasing her performance so much that even the three of them locked behind.
Bellor was a support android who lagged behind both of them but even from afar he spotted the Seraphim firstly.
Using his enhanced eyesight he figured out the Seraphim.
Bellor is the only Sentinel that doesn't have synthetic skin in it. From inside out he is just metal with the word of God's embedded on his skin.
N
Bellor :
Seraphim 12 o clock.
Codena :
Affirmative. Tobias begin bombardment. I shall get close to the Seraphim. And engage in melee combat. When I disengage provide attack support.
Tobias :
Preparing bombardment.
Tobias's back split open to reveal a compartment filled with cluster missiles. These missiles shot out from his back and the top opened up into a cluster of smaller missiles engraved with runes which enhances firepower by converting nearby mana into fire type explosion. This means more explosives can be fitted in a cluster. Without much compromising. As despite the explosive being less the metal used in their making it heavier.
The clusters hit the Seraphim and exploded even more with the runes implanted in them. Which caused the Seraphim to halt his moments.
The Seraphim from the back only his wings were visible but from the front was a face devoid of eyes and nose A mouth which was stitched by hair and ears no ears.
From its look the androids analyzed that it had halfly completed his transition. But still hasnt realized it yet. Or better has not yet gained sentience back. While many seraphim had their eyes had a defining feature it had no eyes. Which was questionable. Not on its wings or anywhere on its body.
As the smoke subsided Codena arm turned inside out revealing a straight sword with runes engraved into them
She stabbed the Seraphim right into its skull. And activated the runes by passing mana into them. The runes activated lightning magic and millions of volts of current was passed into the Seraphim and because it was airborne it was unable the current had nowhere to go. Because the voltage was very high some of the current jumped out of the body. And it's wings began to burn.
It indirectly became the burning one. And without wings it plummeted to the ground.
Tobias :
Bellor supply me mana.
Bellor opened up the mana cube and supplied him mana as Tobias prepared a huge ball of fire covering a huge area and increased the amount of heat he could pack in the fireball.
And due to the mana cube supply by Bellor he didn't need to cut down on the explosion. And he threw the fireball towards the Seraphim.
But Seraphim recovered and even though it's wings were burnt. It turned around facing the sky the stitches on its mouth opened and using the mana within it. It similarly made a huge blast of energy repelling the fireball oe penetrating it. And neutralized the blast. And as it was neutralized Codena took another sword from Bellor and dived from the sky.
Because the preemptive strike was successful. They were able to get a upper hand on the Seraphim but for how long.
Before she could reach the Seraphim it grew an arm made of stone which shattered the sword in two. But due to the large amount of force. The arm shattered and what remained of the blade Codena stabbed the Seraphim.
To be precise just above the mouth. The angel shrieked and expelled air with such a force that Codena was tossed into the air. While the sword was still stuck in it but the runes were damaged to be used.
Codena opened her left arm and another blade this time coated with poison came out. And she plunged it into the Seraphim. But in retaliation the Seraphim pierced it's own body with a bone as a sharp bone sprang out of its body and stabbed Codena. While the mouth charged a blast of pure fire element and fired at Codena melting the entire Sentinel. As the melted metal fell on the body of the Seraphim it screamed in great pain. And the poison which was seeping inside the Seraphim slowly started to burn it internally.
Codena fell while the Seraphim survived. Tobias watched in horror as only her lower half was intact. And before he could fall into panic and disarray. The processing unit quickly shit off the emotional core. Thus causing Tobias to completely turn into a monster with zero empathy.
Many if the units had already completed their mission. But unit 2 was still laging. And had incurred a casualty.
