Chapter 315: Conquest Over Charity [3]

Hundreds of arrows seemingly descent with but a mere flick of a trigger, and as easily as it was called, so did they vanish. A consuming light of brilliant radiance devoured every bolt that came in its way while it traveled further for its origins. The Knight of Conquest easily escaped the impending ray of doom simply by swapping her own with an undead legion from afar

“Call of the Pack,”

She bravely appeared in his rear, Michael began to activate his Virtue but there was no target within his range. Quon, on the other hand, fired off her multi-shot skill releasing a singular bolt that split into dozens in point-blank range. Just from her repositioning with the use of her skill, she firmly grasps the power of her foe, barely escaping Charity’s range

“Since when did she grasp its range!!?”

As he said that Michael quickly ran away from the impending bolts, giving him no room to counterattack. This was the very first time he poured his divinity throughout his body as a means of strengthening his capabilities. As the Archangel was empowered he dodged the bolts by spinning and adding his sword he created a defensive measure to repel the bolts or so he thought

“Bloody Fangs…”

Quon waited for this precise moment as Michael became too focused on defending to allow her to clutch the decisive move. This move of hers was unlike anything she had ever displayed, a powerful finishing strike, but for it to be called she’ll momentarily become vulnerable. She was reluctant to do so for her enemy reach but a hair away from her body would mean the death of her so she waited

[System: One of the signature skills of Crossbow of Conquest has been triggered by the player

Status: Due to the world-shattering power of this skill, you are momentarily fixed in your spot to wield its unimaginable power

Outcome: With the use of the Signature skill of the mode [Relentless Wolf] the form you’ve taken shall be relinquished, allowing you to trigger this power with no backlash for the price of the spirit of the wolf]

Her wolf-like appearance was then sent back to the depths of her Crossbow, empowering the bolt with all its might. Upon reverting to her form, the weapon grew heavy in her possession, and she called for her Knight to hold it in place as she aimed. That singular bolt’s fierce power pushed her body and as it soared and headed to her target it took the form of a bloody wolf

“You think this is enough!!? Do I look so weak to be beaten by this much? Then allow me to show you my might!!!”

Suddenly Quon felt the sudden surge of heavenly aura seeping from the sacred blade the opposing champion held. The outburst of souls within the depths of his blade formed a horrific display of power as he slashed downward. His attack intercepted her powerful bolt and there she saw a masterful display of swordplay that transcended the world

“Soul Converging Slash!!!” The demonic energy scatters as Michael splits her attack in two and the spirit of the Wolf is then absorbed into the blade

“Such a fine power rightfully mine to wield. Thank you for this lovely gift. Because of that, I shall end you… right this instant!!!”

Michael instantly appeared behind her; it seemed that he could not only use the divinity of the souls, but he could also wield their power. Having the addition of the wolf in his arsenal, he managed to get close, and at the speed he was going, Quon had no chance to teleport. As he thrust his blade to pierce her heart, its trajectory took a turn upon being influenced by a mere kick which threw his arms off their mark

[Crossbow of Conquest:

Mode: Jagged Tiger

• Jagged Barrage: Fires a stream of bolts in rapid succession. Each consecutive hit on the same target increases damage.

• Razor Slash: Fires a melee-range shot in a wide arc, dealing damage and briefly stunning enemies.

• Predator’s Maul: Fires a powerful bolt that lunges the Knight toward the target. If the enemy is under 25% health and has been hit by other Jaguar Mode skills, this attack deals 70% more damage and executes the target if they are stunned]

“My greatest weakness is distance, which stands for every other mage, yet overcoming this wall meant everything!!!”

The Tiger’s soul reshaped her body, and with it came her unprecedented strength, which she used to kick Michaels’s arms. This led to the change of the trajectory of the sword, enabling her to escape the approaching end whilst firing her crossbow at point-blank range. No matter the damage she would’ve dealt, it never amounted to Michael’s Charity, as another portion of his divinity has transferred to her.

“This is the end, Knight of Conquest!”

Michael swiftly cuts her down the moment her body goes into shock having received his divinity once again. Her body was minced with the rapid resolve of Michael’s sword, leaving her with no room to escape death. Quon had nothing left, no body, no power, just a soul awaiting to be withered to the great beyond; she became hollow and lost like she was before her encounter with Morris.

’Is this how… I die? I’ve told myself I’d die at the orders of my master. Now even that promise of mine is broken. I tried controlling everything, planned everything, just so I could have it my way, but no, even now, I lost. It was foolish of me to realize to believe I’d become like my master, but I can’t, no one can, I let everyone down, I let myself down…’

Suddenly the skies turned darker, the three beams of light representing the archangels now down to two. Even in the presence of Michael, he felt the rapid accumulation of demonic energy; the lush fields now dried up and became a wasteland. A large shadow loomed over above, it took the shape of a sinister shadow, and bore a wicked grin.

“Origin Unleash!!!”

’That would’ve been the case if my plan was to kill this bastard in the first place… so thats how death feels? Quite a bit cold, I’d say; it made me feel depressed, but dying to this chicken-winged nobody was a part of my calculations. All possibilities of winning were zero, so my only choice was to prolong the fight until one of the three got a kill,’

“No this can’t be… I ripped your body to shreds! Why is it that I can still feel your presence? This isn’t real!!!” Michael was certain of the desecration of her body yet her presecence lingered, as if all the hardship he did was for naught.

“I am the Knight of Conquest. How can I conquer this world, when I can’t Conquer Death? So tell me Angel…” As the cloud of shadows descents to the ground it took form of an Armored Wraith ahold of the Crossbow of Conquest

“Can you kill your soldiers?”

Quon had risen the dead, along with the angels corpses. Something she was never capable of performing till the moment the scales were tipped. The death of two archangels and rapid decay of the lands in the presence of the Four Knights of the apocalypse.

“I’ll show you, the meaning of Conquest,”
