Breaking point

Sorry for the extremely late update, there were two major reasons for it.

1-I had to do a few changes to the plot, closing some holes.

2-It's not my place to speak, but the writing should be better now. With fewer mistakes and hopefully a more compelling story. Please tell me your opinion after reading this chapter.

Hades looked at the strange nun and her horrid monsters. The soldiers rush in with their crossbows.

The bolts deflect from the monster's hides. "First group, reload! Second group, fire!" Eva yelled, her voice booming across the garden.

The nun suddenly disappeared, and none managed to track her movements as she approached Hades.

CRACK! She kicked him on the neck and sent his body rolling on the ground. "Hades!" Gabriella shouted, and she sure heard his neck crack from her place.

Hades's body bounced on the ground, all strength leaving his body. "AWOO!" Fen rushed toward Cain, ripping across the dire wolves even though he was a little cub.

"Such ferocity, a Fenrir cub. To think you tamed such a thing, who do you think you are to take such a being as a pet?" The nun said, staring down at Hades.

Cael rushed her with his swords, [Slash]

The nun lifted her dagger. CRACK! She broke Cael's sword in one block, "Such a powerful skill, but a cheap sword, unworthy of it." The nun said, kicking Cael away at a tree. Mei, the little cat, rushed toward him.

"Get off my property. Since where the church attacks its people?" William jumped in, swinging his sword at the nun [CLEAVE]

CLANG! She lifted her dagger, deflecting his strike, "A good skill and a good sword, but nothing more, nothing special." The nun swung her dagged at William. BAM! He smacked her hand with a kick and swung at her neck.

"Nothing special? I don't need to be special to cleave your head." William shouted,[CLEAVE] as his blade approached her neck, a dire wolf bit his leg, dragging him away.

"You bark more than you bite, old warlord." The nun said, glaring at Willam cleaving the dire wolves.

Gabriella rushed in, swinging her sword. "Get back to where you came from, Jailer!"

The nun slowly lifted her hand, blocking Gabriell's sword with her dagger, "Pathetic, a healer struggles with a sword. Your place is under the holy flag, healing our soldiers till you fall like them."

As the attack bounced, her sword flew away. Gabriella glared at the nun, a vial of gold dust in her hand.

"Be cursed," As a golden flash emerged from Gabriell's nails, a small wound on the nun's neck grew black, and suddenly a massive growth of flesh rose from it.

Surprised, the nun immediately swung her dagger up, cleaving the mass of flesh from her neck. She then quickly splashed her neck with a potion she kept in her pocket.

Gabriella took another vial from her pocket, and the nun kicked her hand. CRACK! Gabriella's wrist immediately shattered, and the neck lifted her by the neck.

"I'm sure you never entered the inner sanctum nor were allowed into the forbidden library. Where did you learn such magic?" The nun growled as Gabriella choked.

Clench! The nun felt something grab onto her ankle. She looked down, and it was Hades.

'I broke his neck, and he should be dead. How could this man still move?' the nun thought.

In the back, Fen was running around killing the monsters as if he won't live after stopping. That was because it did. The only thing keeping Hades alive was the Favor he was getting, even the devil who gave him the power was scrambling to keep him alive by a hair strand.

Fen didn't know about the devil, he couldn't, but she was manipulative, sending a sense of urgency and bloodlust to the small wolf. Kill, or your master dies.

[Attraction] Hades applied a downward force on the nun, causing the hand she is grabbing Gabriella with to flung down. Gabriella fell on the ground coughing, and in rage, the nun kicked Hades in the face, sending him rolling down a staircase.

Hades rolled until he fell into the dirt, and the nun looked down at him from the stair top, light flashing from behind her back.

"Who are you? No, what are you?" The nun growled, staring at him crawl from the shadows, scrapping the mud with his nose.

Hades's states were slowly rising as Fen massacred the nun's monsters, yet it wasn't enough. He cannot make it in time, and it is impossible. It is a fool's errand.

In her domain, the devil growled, "Damn it, damn it. This situation isn't in the plan; do I have to do it?" She smacked her hand on her throne, "After millennia, and when I finally found someone capable of killing him, I lose him this quickly?"

She looked behind at the desolate wasteland behind her beautifully engraved throne.

A seat of lies. The throne of a king without people, not a single one.

"No, it's all or nothing," She growled, "I'm betting everything now. We either rise or fall into the forgotten realm."

She walked ahead, and with a face of determination, she smiled. "Hades, my only servant. The game is on. We either die or triumph. I grant thee all the souls I stored." As she said, her face withered, her beautiful white skin turned grey, and her legs started shaking. In the blink of an eye, she looked fifty years older.

"I will kill you," Hades growled, rage swelling inside his chest. BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM! His heart started beating loudly, his growls escaping the mud covering his face.

"What are you mumbling about from down there? Crawling from the dark, you face on the dirt, all strength has left your body." The nun stared down at him. "I don't know how you did it, but seeing you crawl like a cockroach after having your neck broken. It's creepy."

She lifted her dagger, ready to throw it at him, "You're like a devil, a pathetic struggle in the name of a long-dead cause."

BAM! BAM! Hades's heartbeat grew louder, and the nun heard it, rumbling. The creeping doom, the true monster, growled.

[Wrath: Break] Has been added to the system, and all required knowledge to operate it.

[Repulsion]

BAM! Hades's body suddenly sprung to life, leaping at the nun in the blink of an eye. His eyes were bloodshot, and his forearm veins almost popped.

The nun lifted her dagger, surprised at the punch flying at her but not expecting much from a dying man.

CLANG! Hades's fist connected to her dagger, and the blade slowly sank into his fingers. But as soon as it touched the bone, [Wrath: Break]

BANG! Her powerful dagger, the weapon magnificently crafted to withstand the harshest of battles, shattered into a million pieces.

CRACK! Cain's fist connected directly to her face, breaking her nose and drilling the shards into her face.

"A devil," a word escaped her mouth.
