Chapter 219.2. Archangel
And from the cut surface, the flesh swelled up, forming a body.
“The Archangel of Command, Michael”
“The Archangel of Guidance, Gabriel”
In solemn tones, the two men, almost like twins, introduced themselves. Watching this, Shizuku sighed.
“Did you really fuse four of them together? Two more are hiding, aren’t they?”
Shizuku shot a sharp glare at Michael and Gabriel. Hearing her words, they laughed mockingly, spreading their arms, exuding confidence.
“As irritating as ever, your eyes are sharp. Indeed, the fusion of the four Archangels. The invincible Archangel—that’s me. Inside this body are also Raphael, who brings healing, and Uriel, who gives righteous judgment.”
Michael and Gabriel melted into each other like slime, fusing into the same man as before.
“Hah… Do you really think you’ve gotten stronger? Well, let’s test it. Let’s see, should I call you ‘Four-el’? Your ‘Four-el’ size is just for show. And standing half-naked in front of a maiden is a bit troubling. Should I summon a police officer?”
Feigning shyness by touching her cheek, Shizuku continued to mock him, prompting Michael to open his mouth in irritation.
“How long can you keep that smug attitude?”
“Forever.”
With a beastly glint in her eyes, Shizuku muttered quietly as she closed the distance once again.
“This time, the [Holy Song] will be something different!”
Michael grinned widely as he focused his mana, ready to face the approaching Shizuku.
[Manifestation of the Four Archangels]
With power, he unleashed his mana, causing his body to swell and grow larger. His head multiplied into four, and eight arms sprouted, transforming him into a giant, about five meters tall.
“I won’t let my guard down. You are strong after all… No, I should say, you were strong.”
“Enough with your nonsense!”
[Wind King Slash]
[Flame King Slash]
[Ice King Slash]
[Thunder King Slash]
Michael roared, channeling mana into each of his arms, unleashing powerful magic of various elements.
A storm raged, flames flared, ice froze the surroundings, and lightning crackled around. Enhanced by the [Holy Song], the magic rampaged relentlessly.
The sheer force of the magic’s aftershocks was enough to bring down the surroundings, as Michael unleashed his destructive power towards the approaching Shizuku.
“For an angel, you stubbornly stick to brute-force combat. I’m impressed. You’re a demon in disguise, aren’t you?”
Taking a deep breath, Shizuku awakened the power that lay dormant deep within her soul.
[Red Mode]
Power surged from within Shizuku, turning her body crimson. The air around her began to tremble, and the ground quaked. As she released her power and walked with a composed demeanor, she displayed immense strength.
“What… What is that form?”
Michael was bewildered by the unfamiliar sight of Shizuku, but he spread his elemental magic into a surrounding trap, preventing her from escaping.
To prevent her from dodging, he slowly spread the four magics thinly, enclosing her like a cloth.
However, that approach was correct for the previous Shizuku, but it was a mistake against the current one.
[High Accelerator]
The crimson flash slipped through the narrow gaps in the surrounding magic, passing through Michael’s body in an instant.
“It would have been more of a struggle if you had attacked with all four separately. Numbers give strength.”
A small voice whispered from behind him, and Michael, realizing the speed, turned around in a panic.
“Your performance is impressive, but it’s time to say goodbye.”
“Curse it! Have you become even stronger than before?”
Michael gritted his teeth, trying to brace himself. Seeing his struggle, Shizuku let out a faint, heat-haze-like smile.
“No, I’m still far from perfect. I’ve just become better at using my abilities.”
She poised her crystal-like sword, gathering her fighting spirit quietly.
[Sword Dance of Silence]
With a subtle movement of her sword, a line of white light flashed across Michael’s body. The attack passed without even a gust of wind, leaving only a trace of mana as the air distorted, ending in silence.
Michael couldn’t even perceive that an attack had been executed. But he understood that he had suffered a fatal blow, prompting him to panic.
“Impossible… Raphael, use healing magic!”
“You’re already diced up. Goodbye, resident of the heavens.”
Shizuku shrugged coldly at Michael, who was screaming frantically. The attack was already over. If the four archangels had remained separate, she would have had to employ a different strategy.
As Shizuku predicted, Michael’s body began to fragment into pieces.
Each of the four archangels was capable of wielding top-tier magic. However, by fusing them into one, their resources were diminished, leading to an astonishingly weakened state.
“Ah… For us archangels to fall so easily…”
As she watched the sliced-up Michael fall to the ground, Shizuku puffed her cheeks slightly in displeasure. Even as a true fairy, she still yearned to fight against stronger opponents.
[This guy was all show and no substance, huh? What the hell?]
[It’s like a lousy cook just walked in… Whoever it is, I don’t know yet.]
Sakimori’s exasperation was understandable. There was definitely someone who had foolishly tampered with the situation. Well, pondering over it wouldn’t yield any answers.
For now, having saved the Ashikaga family was enough, Shizuku thought as she called out to Yoshimitsu.
A while later, Nagayoshi Miyoshi was arrested, and the coup d’état came to an end. However, there was a hidden aspect to this commotion, which would only be revealed once it had fully settled.
