Chapter 1141: Roaneth

Die!!

There was much we wanted to ask the leader of the Carmine Flame Knights, but he never gave us the chance. Knight Captain Roaneth had already pointed his gun at us and pulled the trigger.

It seems the beams of light he sniped us with were not flame magic, but shots directly coming from his weapon, Carmine Flame. Still, Maleficent and Persona blocked it without any issues.

No one likes an impatient man, you know.

f.u.c.k you!

Whoa there. Quite the mouth for such a handsome young man.

What the h.e.l.l is wrong with you people! Die, die, die, die!

He can rapid fire!

Roaneth shot out a barrage of fireb.a.l.l.s, each packing a great deal of power. However, he couldnt get past the the barrier from me, Fran, Maleficent, and Persona.

Neutralize him first, ask questions later! Urus.h.i.+, get him!

Grrr!!

I can see right through you, mutt!

Gwoh!

Its as if he knew right when Urus.h.i.+ was going to jump out of the shadows, yet he shouldnt have the skills for that Was the relic buffing him somehow?

Urus.h.i.+ was forced to retreat back into the shadows after getting his right paw shot. He attempted to cloak the paw with Dark Embrace in an effort to protect himself, but he still received a severe burn.

Each shot must have the same power as a high-level spell.

However, we still have the advantage in numbers. Roaneth left himself open when he attacked Urus.h.i.+, and Fran took the chance to slash at him.

Get the f.u.c.k away from me, you little s.h.i.+t!

Taaah!

Back off!

Roaneth parried our hit with the relic. d.a.m.n, that thing is hard! We didnt even land a scratch with a serious. .h.i.t!

Moreover, Roaneth partially transformed his body into flames to avoid Frans followup. As expected from one of the strongest men in Raydoss.

That said, it wasnt enough to overturn our advantage. Roaneths face distorted in rage as he began to realize we exceeded his expectations.

f.u.c.k! f.u.c.k, f.u.c.k, f.u.c.k! Ill murder you if its the last thing I do!

Mrgh.

The relic transformed?! A slit opened on it with a click, and several metal cords shot out of it. The thin cords wriggled like tentacles as they wrapped themselves around Roaneths arm.

I could see Roaneths mana flowing into the relic through those cords, as the barrel began glowing red.

However, Roaneth left himself completely open during this transformation. Fran took advantage and launched her own attack.

Haaaaah!

Take this!

A hint of divine-aspected mana enveloped my blade. Fran must be getting accustomed to using the Beast-Bug G.o.ds Blessing.

She delivered a slash with G.o.dly speed and divine energy.

A technique containing Frans full power, more than capable of striking down powerful opponents without the use of Sword G.o.d Transformation or Potential Release.

That s.h.i.+t wont work on me, you d.a.m.n brat!

It seems Roaneth sensed the divine energy on my blade. Rather than transforming his body into flames again, he reached out to block us with his free left arm.

His arm slammed into my blade, and the mana infused within only managed to deflected my trajectory by a tiny amount. That must have been his goal from the beginning. He did not intend to block us, but merely deflect the hit and avoid a fatal blow.

It was a slash intended to slice off his head, yet we only managed to cut through his left elbow and half of the neck. Well, normally that would be plenty fatal.

Wounds inflicted by the divine attribute are difficult to regenerate. That said, it seems Roaneth knew exactly what he was doing. Without any pause, and he readied Carmine Flame with his eyes fixated on Fran.

DIEEEE!

Blood bubbled from his mouth as he screamed the death sentence.

No! Fran, stop him at all costs!

!

I witnesses Carmine Flames final skill, which was not visible earlier. Now it could be seen, and it said Divine Flame Excitation.

Rather than purposely being hidden, this was a power that becomes available after meeting special circ.u.mstances. Only by draining the wielders mana, or perhaps even their lifespan itself, can it actually be used.

And if it says divine flames, it might have as much power as one of Izarios attacks. We cant be too careful.

I fired a few thunder spells in an attempt to cancel his movements, but they only slipped through Roaneths body. d.a.m.n, not his flame form again! Despite the fatal cut on his neck, he was still thinking with his head straight.

YOURE ALL DEAD!

He s.h.i.+fted his aim away from Fran?

Roaneth pointed the muzzle of his gun upward and shot a bright red bullet high into the sky. No, thats not it! Hes trying to kill everyone here!

The bullet of divine flame exploded like a firework, as they came falling back to the roof of the fort. Hundreds of divine embers came pouring down on us like rain droplets.

Maleficent! Persona! Gather around Fran! We need to do this together!

Persona, hurry!

Without any concern for revealing my ident.i.ty, I called out directly to Maleficent and Persona. This wasnt only because I wanted to save them. More importantly, I realized that all four of us working together was the only way to make it through the rain of divine flames.

At the very least, I couldnt guarantee that Fran and I would make it through by ourselves.

Maleficent and Persona seemed to have reached the same conclusion, immediately getting to work without voicing any doubts.

Urus.h.i.+ and Avenger, you guys put up your barriers too!

Woof!

Understood! I will obey my G.o.d!

Im not your G.o.d!
