Chapter 39: Mael vs Graylia 2

(Mael's POV)

Boom* Boom*

With thunder clouds clapping the sky, I raised two more Cruel Suns and sent them towards Graylia but the devil speaks with experience as she efficiently dodged two giant orbs and rushed towards me.

With sound-breaking speed, she appeared right in front of me and delivered a solid upper kick to my chin.

The attack was strong that broke my jaw but I didn't drop my guard and kicked Graylia in return.

She also didn't waste time and sent a clear slash with her sword that I blocked with Excalibur and then we engage in close combat.

Kicks, punches, and clashes of swords, the forces behind our attacks were so devastating that every below ripped apart the surroundings reshaping the whole geography of the area in each second.

However, it was by no means a fight two warriors were fighting to enjoy. Both of us were blood enemies trying our hardest to defend and deliver a lethal strike to another.

It turned into a desperate attempt to survive who loses the guard first.

But the thing is, the ship was drowning on my side as I was getting pushed back.

That was the fight I realize how ignorant I was to engage her in close combat.

Just fighting for 15 minutes and no matter which grace I use, shortly after, she came back and counter-attacked my every move.

It was not a battle between two beings but pure experience versus a kid carrying nukes.

If not for my Grace and Ark, I would have died several times over.

I was getting on the loose end with my every strike she came back with more countermeasures and was pushing me back.

What can I say? I was just trained for what, like a year but she probably had thousands of years of experience.

She was also getting aware of my Grace and Ark as she dodged every attack that I tried to deliver with my Grace or Ark. Even with Heavenly Eyes reading her moves, I could only react for timely defensive moves to stop her fatal blows.

She was in a berserk state but not even once did she let her guard down.

Not a single place was left on my body where I didn't receive bruises or cuts even after healing myself continuously.

Full counter? I couldn't even read her move or magic, let alone taking a proper stance and deliver my trump card. Time and luck were just not on my side.

On other hand, Graylia was also not unscathed as she also received various cuts. Her upper armor was destroyed revealing her left side breast naked and her belly armor but she was only focused on killing me that she didn't even try to hide her private parts.

Although both of us only managed to land superficial attacks, my boat was sinking quickly.

"Haaaa!" Then she howled a cry and knocked away Excalibur from my hand.

I hurriedly placed a shied of Ark to stop the upcoming blow as she leaped for a punch as I read her move but just before it could hit my shield, a solid kick landed on my abdomen from the left side and sent me crashing on a distant mountain.

There are two of them? No, her sword could make a copy of her to catch me off guard.

Oh dear, I was a greenhorn and underestimated her big time.

She then landed and jabbed her leg on my chest, burring me further in the dirt.

"Huff* Tell me, angel, why do you fight so hard…?" She asked while panting.

Even if she looked tired, her foot on my chest was like a heavy boulder. I coughed mouthful of blood and gritted my teeth.

"Well… it doesn't matter… because in the end, you are going to die for being so weak!"

I was weak?

Am I going to die just like that?

It was at that moment, the surrounding turned into complete darkness.

'Mael!'

It was when I saw Jeanne… burning.

'Brother Mael…'

Ivan spoke my name whose head was rolling on the ground while his body was getting eaten by crows.

'Bro…ther Mael…'

Sona whose body was being ripped apart.

"No, stop!!!"

'Hehehe, a human will always be weak.' Then it was the dirty face of the Devil named Francois. He was standing in middle proudly as my loved ones were getting tortured.

'Hahaha, come and join us. There is not much difference between you and them! Why? A human will always be weak? So weak that they could only become plaything under our superior race! See that, even with such cheat-like abilities, you are but a filthy weak insect.'

"Stop!" I creamed but I couldn't do anything.

No, I can't let them die! Jeanne, Ivan, Sona! I have to stop them!!!

But no matter how much I tried I couldn't even get up! My body refused to listen!

I have to gather energy! Maybe I could pray and ask for God to help! Gabriel! Michael! Help me!!!

I wanted to stop the tragedy to fall upon my beloved but I could only watch them getting tortured.

'Mael…'

Then a gentle hand rubbed my head and I saw Eliza, my mother.

'A human may appear weak but its greatest power lies in his will. Say, do you want to die just like that?'

No, I don't want to die.

No! I won't die! I will never die unless I DESTROY THEIR FILTHY RACE APART!

It was at that moment, I saw a window screen.

[Host's power level has reached the limit.]

[You have successfully ascended to the Middle Level of Ultimate Class.]

[Graces has been promoted to Rank C. The side effect of a 1-minute delay has been lifted.]

Smirk, everything shattered as my body became overflow with intense light.

"The air shall turn into a tornado, the water of lake shall become the ocean, time shall break apart and heat is sun, I don't want to die!!!!"

My entire body was consumed in dense light.

Boom!
