Chapter 157 – The Angel of Steel

Chapter 155

Steel Angel (Angel of Steel). The monster was a little startled. It was because none of the humans he had met so far reacted to his ambush, including the hero.

The same was true of the most recently discovered hero, Levius. It was because he had no choice but to react belatedly after all his comrades were knocked out by such a quick and accurate surprise attack.

But at this moment, the hero of order, his own target and whom the Demon King had told him to bring, reacted to his movement. That fact was quite surprising.

“…You are…Something different.”

Steel Angel had no choice but to distance himself from Elfriede and Levius, who were then attacking. There was almost no experience of failure as a seon-gong, but it was a moment when I thought it was a very different experience.

Meanwhile, Abel was clicking her tongue.

‘…Tsk, why didn’t you get cut?’

I thought I had the right cut, but the only cut was the outer upper, which looked as hard as steel.

There was something strange about that. Obviously, no matter how hard the upper is, as long as this monster is a monster, it will be useless in front of the sharpness of the holy sword…

‘There was a feeling of being caught.’

It feels like it was forcibly cut out like that. When the question of why came up, Estelle advised Abel.

“The upper part of that monster. It’s not your own. It’s not a monster’s original biological tissue, so the characteristics of the holy sword will be useless.”

“…Then what is that?”

“Maybe really metal. I mean, it’s made of steel. It’s like a man’s armor.”

“That was it.”

I understand why it wasn’t easily cut. If it was just metal, not the upper part of a monster, then even the holy sword had to be fought with the sharpness of the sword itself.

However, since the holy sword itself is the best sword ever made by the Goddess herself, the sheath made of hard steel has also been split.

Elfriede saw Abel, who gave him a blow, and said to Levius.

“Levius, we will assist Abel.”

“Why should I assist that commoner?”

“A surprise attack a moment ago, neither you nor I could react. The one with a high probability of beating him is Abel. Isn’t it?”

Levius didn’t like Elfride’s logic, but he couldn’t refute it. Because what she said was true.

“Hey, commoner.”

“What.”

Levius said while gripping his twin daggers tightly.

“If you help me, can I cut you?”

“…Ask something obvious.”

Abel raised her holy sword straight up. And she glared at the angel covered in steel, she said.

“I have to cut it.”

“…I got it.”

For veteran warriors to say they will step in for a newcomer is to give up a lot of pride and self-esteem. That’s how much it meant that he would trust the ability of the new hero, Abel.

Abel was also aware of that fact, so she said she would cut it somehow.

“…The hero…Three.”

But the opponent was relaxed.

The experienced old general, who had even killed a punitive force including a hero and a saint, meticulously assessed the opponent’s level.

The silver-haired hero seems to be the strongest, and among the other two, the blond one is the strongest. The weakest is the Redeemed Hero.

And… There were weaker ones behind them.

Huge wings spread wide. Then, in an instant, the figure disappeared.

Based on the reaction to the surprise attack a moment ago, the monster that accurately grasped the opponent’s level was judged. Instead of prioritizing the strongest, aim for the easiest to defeat.

In that sense, the warriors were the second priority. What he wants first is…

“Oops…!”

Only Abel noticed the movement first, and headed towards the saints in the rear. Levius and Elfriede followed Abel without a break. But it was a little late.

“…!”

Cynthia and Astria. Steel wings spread over the two of them.

Among the Agareth-class floating monsters, the fact that it was named meant that it was a monster at a level comparable to the ‘Baal-class’. Its speed is beyond what humans can react to.

“Die.”

In the past, when this monster annihilated the entire subjugation party that included the hero and the saint, it prioritized the saint in this way.

Steel Angel knew that when a saintess died, her warriors would become weaker, and he used this to his advantage in battle.

But the cunning monster overlooked something. As the sharp, hard claws were about to pierce Cynthia and Astria, a huge shield bathed in sunlight appeared in front of them.

《 Sacred Shield 》

Kaang!!!

“…What…”

It’s blocked. His own blow was blocked by a huge shield.

Embarrassment that came from an unexpected situation. And the momentary hesitation that arose.

That time was only a fraction of a second, but in a life-and-death fight, 1 second was too long.

A white light flashed. And a flash of light passed through the side of the monster. The monster’s gaze turned to the warrior whose side was cut with a flash of light.

From noble mtl dot com.

“…Yes… Bastard.”

“Are you sneakily aiming for the rearguard?”

Following Abel who slashed his side, Elfriede’s rapier and Levius’s double daggers passed by each with a huge cut in the calf.

It didn’t cut its skin, but its steel-like upper was severed, making it no longer safe from sword attacks.

Because of the short time of 1 second, the war situation became unfavorable in an instant. And the reason that made that one second of time.

The monster’s gaze turned to the saintess who created a solid shield.

“…I got it.”

Even though blood was flowing from the deep cut on his side, the monster’s voice did not waver at all. The monster’s gaze was directed directly at Estelle, the saint of the sun.

“You are the strongest.”

At that moment, the monster angel’s goal changed. Not towards the saints who were considered the weakest, but towards the weakest among the warriors.

The three eyes of the monster shone red.

“…I’ll take care of you first.”

#

“Keuugh…”

Ever since its pupils started to glow red, the monster’s movement has changed greatly. He got so fast that even I couldn’t keep up with him. In fact, from then on, I did not read movements with my eyes, but had to rely on my instincts and senses for close defense.

It’s said to be a floating type… But why is it as fast as a knight type…!

“Abel, left!”

When it came to this situation, Elfriede’s intuition helped her the most. Reading the fine air flow, or a sense based solely on experience, was telling me where it would appear.

However, this was a conclusion based solely on intuition. So, it means that it is an inaccurate wild beast.

Because of that, we couldn’t avoid injury whenever the conclusion based on our senses was wrong.

“Ouch!”

“Levius!”

I was wrong this time too. Still, I couldn’t blame Elfriede. It was hard to predict without her anyway.

Levius was slashed by the creature’s claws, leaving three long scars on his chest. However, even this guy is a hero, he stabbed his dagger without saying a word despite the wound.

Awesome!!

A crack in the upper that develops with an injury. The hard steel upper of this monster was gradually breaking apart.

“I will support you!”

《 Sacred Sword 》

《 Glory Arrow 》

Divine Spear

Three sacred spells, each containing a different divinity, appeared and restricted the movement of the monsters. The s*xual skills that forced the monster to ‘evade’. Elfriede and I didn’t miss that opportunity.

“Haaap!”

In the path he was going to escape, he hit the sword hard with a loud cry. Elfriede threatened him by swinging his sword from a different route, in case he evaded to another place.

However, the monster who has accumulated 20 years of experience is too good even if it is excellent. Even though I was forced to retreat with my s*xual skill, I blocked both my sword attack and Elfriede’s sword attack with very skillful movements.

Jap!

Of course, the upper part of the monster was broken a lot thanks to that, but defending against the attack meant that it had a chance to counterattack.

Levius should have assisted us here in order for the linkage to be clean, but he couldn’t move quickly because of the serious injury he suffered the other day.

“Cheukhak…!”

“Ugh…!”

Me and Elfriede gave him a blow at the same time and fell backwards. I came to my senses and got up before the shock to my stomach had gone, but Elfriede couldn’t.

“Elfriede!”

“Never mind me…!”

Blood was flowing profusely from Elfriede’s abdomen. While kicking me a moment ago, Elfriede seemed to have attacked with sharp claws.

“…Damn it, Estelle!”

“Never mind and focus on the battle, Abel.”

“I’ll leave it to you…!”

I took my eyes off Elfriede and looked for him, but I realized one fact. One second on the battlefield is an incredibly long time. Then how much time did I spend caring about Elfriede?

My stupid mistake led to the worst outcome.

Levius. Even though he was wounded in the chest, the figure of a monster appeared from behind him as he tried to continue the battle.

“First of all…It’s one guy.”

No. At that rate, Levius would surely die. He already suffered major injuries to his chest. If another major injury occurs, he may not be able to recover. How to save…

But my body was moving before my brain could make the right decision. There was plenty of time to intervene. There just wasn’t enough time for a straight defense.

Kwajik!!

Instead of piercing Levius’ back, its claws pierced my right shoulder and wingtip. His blood spattered, and Levius widened his eyes as he looked at me, who had been attacked in his place.

What are you staring at stupidly, damn.

“…Abel!!!”

I heard Estelle’s voice. I forgot the pain in that voice for a moment and hurriedly replaced the holy sword with his left hand. And I cut the arm of the guy who was still piercing my shoulder with the holy sword.

Suddenly!!!

“…Ha ha.”

The fearless monster’s eyes shook with a strong red light. I pulled out his severed forearm, which was still stuck in my shoulder, and threw it to the ground.

“Haa…If this is the case…Is it the same?”

…This guy must have felt it too. If you do something wrong, you could die too.

“…….”

But something was strange. He suddenly stopped moving, staring at his severed forearm.

I don’t know what happened…

“…Levius, this is your chance.”

At the same time as I said, Levius jumped out with two daggers and aimed at the monster’s heart.

Levius first broke the upper skin with the dagger, a sacred object of the Church of Ludria, and then aimed at the monster’s heart with the holy sword of joy.

As the holy sword of joy tried to pierce the monster’s skin, the monster disappeared in an instant and Levius’ dagger cut through the air.

“…Is it gone?”

It was the fastest speed among the movements of the monsters I had ever seen. The monster that flew up in the blink of an eye let out a terrible scream as if writhing in pain.

My eyebrows naturally furrowed at the deafening scream. And right after that, I couldn’t help but be astonished to see something gathering in the monster’s mouth.

“…Ah.”

This guy is a floating monster close to the knight type, but it is classified as a floating monster to the last. In the end, unlike the knight type, there could have been a ranged weapon.

Like the giant eye-eyed monster I encountered in the Apollo Kingdom, which was an Agares-class floating monster like this one.

“…Avoid everything immediately!!!”

Kwaaang―――!!!

A powerful beam of light emanated from the steel-covered angel’s mouth.
