Chapter 258 Everyone“s Virtues
With just one look, Alex was already sure that his angel woman"s power was also the manipulation of the Astral Essence, although the constellation that appeared behind her seemed to be much stronger compared to all the Celestials that he had already met.
A Constellation with 100 Stellar Points, and each point has brightness that is much higher compared to other Celestials? That just shows how frightening this angel woman was!
The sword, bow, s.h.i.+eld, and spear that she summoned right now already triggered Alex"s danger sense, which was already testament on how powerful they are.
And to make matters worse, Alex felt the danger being emitted by the weapons increase as time pa.s.ses by, which just means that the angel woman is still getting stronger right now!
u003cu003cu003cSWORD OF CHARITY!u003eu003eu003e The angel woman did not waste any more time as she held the sword on her right hand, waving its blade towards Alex"s direction.
A gentle, soothing aura came out of the sword, making everyone on the Blue Moon feel sleepy and peaceful.
Their defensive s.h.i.+eld, which was already repaired, stated to form cracks out of its own volition, as if the sword was forcing it to destroy itself!
A few seconds later, everyone on the Blue Moon started to lay down their weapons, including Alina, Queen Mother, and Professor Frances.
As for their defensive s.h.i.+eld, it was also gone now, leaving everyone defenseless.
"…."
Out of all the people in the Blue Moon, there was only two people that were able to resist what had happened.
One of them was Lingo, who was struggling to stand up, while the second one was Alex, who seemed to be not affected at all.
"What the?" Alex could not help but shout as he saw what was happening. He saw his allies being "incapacitated" which made him tense greatly. "What the h.e.l.l is happening here?"
"Master, that woman is using the power of the Seven Virtues to fight us." Out of nowhere, Greed suddenly appeared behind Alex, with his gaze solely concentrated on the weapons that the angel woman has. He was also the one who spoke out, and he looked p.i.s.sed as he stared at the sword.
"Seven Virtues? Is that some kind of parallel with the Seven Sins?"
"Exactly Master." Greed replied quickly as he seemed to grit his teeth. "If you heard what that woman said earlier, you will know that she came from the Holy Order Plane. That plane basically is a place for beings who follow the teachings of the Holy Order Church. That Sword of Charity that she just used now? That is one of the abilities that a follower of the Holy Order Church can use."
"Greed, tell me the effects of the "Sword of Charity". Maybe I can do something about it."
"Master… as the way that you are right now, you have no way to stop it." Greed replied as he shook his head sadly. "From the rumors that I have heard, the Sword of Charity uses the concept of the "Charity". Basically speaking, the Sword of Charity can force any opponents to lose their will to fight. If that opponent holds a weapon, the Sword of Charity will force that opponent to lay the weapon down. If that opponent is defending himself, the Sword of Charity will force that opponent to let go of that defense. And if that opponent tries to run away, the Sword of Charity will force that opponent to stay, since escaping is also part of a fight."
"….That"s really a cheat ability." Alex muttered to himself as he looked at his listless allies. "So, until the angel woman chooses to stop it, everyone affected by the Sword will lose their will to fight?"
That"s right master." Greed replied as he/she let out a sigh. "Fortunaely for you master, you are not affected by those Seven Virtues! With you around, we can still do something here!"
"…That info is something that cannot rea.s.sure me easily." Alex replied quickly as he narrowed his eyes. "I can see that the Sword of Charity is not working on me. But why is that the case? Was it because of my current form right now?"
The one who answered this question was not Greed. Instead, it was the angel woman who spoke up, with her greedy gaze now concentrated on Alex and Greed alone.
u003cu003cu003cI COULD NOT BELIEVE THIS. AN ENVOY OF THE ABYSS PLANE IS HERE? THE MORTAL ENEMY OF MY CHURCH HAS ACTUALLY ENROACHED THIS BARREN PLACE? FUFUFUFU…. TODAY REALLY IS MY LUCKY DAY!u003eu003eu003e
If earlier, the angel woman was ecstatic when she saw Lingo, right now, her face was almost o.r.g.a.s.mic, as if she had just received the greatest pleasure in her life.
u003cu003cu003cFROM THE LOOKS OF IT, YOU SEEM TO BE A VERY NEW ENVOY OF THE ABYSS. HMPH, BUT I DON"T CARE ABOUT THAT. SINCE SOMEONE LIKE YOU HAD DELIVERED YOURSELF IN MY DOORSTEP, OF COURSE I WON"T HESITATE TO KILL YOU!"
"Boom!"
The angel woman used her sword again, although this time around she just sent its sharp blade hurtling at Alex"s direction.
"What the h.e.l.l?" That was all that Alex could say as he forced himself to zip away from the sword.
"Major Telekinesis."
Alex used this spell to yank himself out of the blade"s path, and he specifically sent his body hurtling towards Lingo"s direction.
u003cu003cu003cPESKY ABYSS MONSTER! JUST STAY THERE AND FACE YOUR END!" Seeing that her sword had missed, the angel woman had let go of it as she now grabbed the spear with her right hand.
"HMPH, SINCE YOU WERE ABLE TO RESIST THE SWORD OF CHARITY, THAT JUST MEANS THAT YOU PRACTICE THE POWER OF GREED. TSK, WHAT A DEPLORABLE SIN! YOU ARE JUST A MANIAC WHO STEALS PEOPLE"S POTENTIAL! YOU MUST BE STOPPED NOW!"
After saying these words, the spear that the angel woman held started to glow white too, which was no doubt an indication that she was about to use its ability.
"SINCE YOU FOLLOW THE SIN OF GREED, THAT MEANS THAT I JUST HAVE TO USE ANY ABILITY THAT DOES NOT USE CHARITY! IN THAT CASE, TAKE THIS!"
"Boom!" The angel woman slashed the spearhead across the air, creating a white shockwave which travelled at insane speeds, and it reached Alex before he could even react to it!
"!!!" Alex was only able to raise his voice a little before the shockwave covered his whole body.
u003cu003cu003cHAHAHA! NOW THAT YOU ARE HIT BY THE SPEAR OF HUMILITY, YOU MUST BE EXPERIENCING EXTREME WEAKNESS RIGHT NOW! HA! THAT JUST SERVES YOU RIGHT!" The angel woman"s talkative nature returned as she started to laugh gleefully. "FUFUFUFUFU, NOW THAT YOU ARE EXTREMELY WEAK, I CAN JUST STOMP YOU FLAT WITH MY FOOT! AND ONCE I AM DONE WITH YOU, I WILL THEN FINISH OFF THIS BLUE FIEND. AS FOR YOUR ALLIES… HEHEHE, I CAN CONVERT THEM TO FOLLOW THE HOLY ORDER CHURCH! THEY ARE BETTER TO STAY THERE RATHER THAN BE CORRUPTED BY YOU HERE!"
"…"
u003cu003cu003cWHAT? DON"T TELL ME THAT YOU ARE TOO WEAK EVEN TO JUST SPEAK? THAT"S REALLY BAD… WELL, WELL, WELL, I SHALL KILL YOU SWIFTLY! THAT WILL BE MY LAST ACT OF MERCY TO YOU! SO JUST STAY THERE AND-"
"Oh come on, when will you really learn to shut your mouth? Don"t you find it tiring to just talk?" Alex"s leisurely voice interrupted the angel woman, who seemed to be shocked with what she just heard.
"Pit pat pit pat." Alex"s whole body then appeared, with his legs slowly bringing him to approach the angle woman.
There was no indication that Alex was weakened, and for anyone who can see Alex right now, they can even say that he was not affected by the Spear of Humility at all!
u003cu003cu003cHOW COULD THIS BE? YOU ARE ALRADY EMBRAKING ON THE SIN OF GREED! HOW COULD YOU RESIST THAT SPEAR OF HUMILITY TOO? THERE"S NO WAY THAT YOU CAN DO THAT!u003eu003eu003e The angel woman screamed out as her wings started to shake erratically behind her. u003cu003cu003cTHIS IS ILLOGICAL!u003eu003eu003e
"Illogical? B**ch please, just take a look at me now." Alex replied cheekily as Pride appeared behind him.
"You call that little stick the Spear of Humility? Oh G.o.d, I have seen better weapons than that!" Pride disdainfully said as he rubbed his nose. "Are you really a 14-winged adjudicator? Heh, you must have been lying!"
u003cu003cu003cHOW COULD YOU PRACTICE TWO SINS AT ONCE! n.o.bODY FROM THIS BARREN PLACE COULD HAVE DONE THAT!u003eu003eu003e The angel woman seemed to have ignored Pride"s taunts to her as she was only focused on the current issue. u003cu003cu003cYOU SHOULD HAVE BEEN DEAD ALREADY! THIS… THIS IS NOT POSSIBLE!u003eu003eu003e
"Well, you have already seen it. There"s no way that you can deny it." Alex replied as he shrugged his shoulders. "I really practice two sins… It"s too bad for you that your powers are affected by my sins…"
u003cu003cu003cYO-YO-YOU MIGHT HAVE PRACTICED IN TWO SINS, BUT THAT DOES NO MAKE YOU SAFE! I STILL HAVE TWO OTHER WEAPONS HERE!u003eu003eu003e The angel woman seemed to have regained her confidence as she now grabbed the arrow.
She manifested a bow in front of her, and nocked the arrow inside it.
As the arrow started to glow white, the angel woman hurriedly pointed it at Alex"s direction.
u003cu003cu003cTAKE THIS! ARROW OF CHASt.i.tY!u003eu003eu003e
"Boom!" The arrow had struck Alex head on, but a few seconds later, and Alex walked slowly towards the angel woman again, as if the arrow were also unable to affect him.
u003cu003cu003cTHREE SINS? THIS IS MADNESS! THIS MUST BE YOUR LIMIT NOW! YES! THIS IS YOUR LIMIT! MY FINAL WEAPON SHOULD BE ENOUGH TO TAKE YOU DOWN!"
The angel woman"s final weapon, the s.h.i.+eld, started to glow white too as it released a large dome which was sent cras.h.i.+ng towards Alex.
u003cu003cu003cMY s.h.i.+ELD OF DILIGENCE SHOULD BE ENOUGH TO FINISH YOU OFF NOW! YES, YOU MUST BE DEAD ALREADY!u003eu003eu003e
"You know, you have been triggering a lot of flags already. Maybe if you just did not talk, your powers could have done some help to you."
u003cu003cu003cFOUR SINS! HOW IS SOMETHING LIKE THIS POSSIBLE!"
