Strongest Tree

However, they suddenly heard a loud explosion as if someone demolished a building. The two saw a fallen completely different from any fallen they saw before

The fallen was three meters tall and was so fat, they even wonder how can someone fly in the sky with that much fat in your body. Even when the fallen was far from them they still felt a sense of oppression. It was like looking at a powerful n.o.ble while you are just a mere commoner. The disparity in strength was simply heavens apart

The fat fallen just hold out its hand and clenched it, yet that simple action made the man they thought as strong to be helpless

"M-monster!" Annie cried out in fear, the man with wings was already far too powerful and destroyed their common sense. Yet, here was another creature that effortlessly made the man helpless

Anna, with the eye sight provided by her Bloodline saw white chains were restricting the fat fallen. The more chains wrapped on its body the harder it was for him to move. This can also be seen at how he let the other fallens to attack the man instead of killing him even though he was that powerful

"S-sister, let"s go!" All Annie wanted to do now was to escape from this place. For her this was a battle that they cannot even affect

"Annie, go now I will catch up to you later!" Anna was determined to help the man. For her this man killed many of the fallens in the city, one of those fallens might even be the one that killed their parents. She felt a sense of grat.i.tude to Sun

"What?! Are you insane?! We need to go now!" Just what happened to her sister? They are currently in a very dangerous situation. The best thing to do now was to escapr

"I said go now!" Anna shouted and whipped her horse. The horse turned back and return to the city leaving Annie with a dumbfounded expression on what happened

Fortunately, the other fallens in the city become idle and were just watching the scene.

"[Innate Skill: Nature"s Bow!]" From Anna"s hand a bow made from light green light was made. As soon as she touch the bow"s strings an arrow made from the same energy appeared

Anna closed one of her eyes and aimed at the fallens in the sky. Thanks to her Bloodline even without any prior experience from archery she become an expert archer. The best archer skills" before the apocalypse would even pale in comparison compared to her own skills

The arrow cut through the air in a fast speed and it split into ten more arrows. The ten arrows accurately hit the fallens closest to Sun on their head. The arrows killed the fallens, this was not because Anna was powerful. She can"t possibly one shot a mid or peak stage Knight Fallen. She only managed to do this because all of the fallen"s attentions were on Sun

When Sun was on the verge of despair he saw a green light that killed the fallens around him. This was like a ray of hope when you thought that your death was inevitable

Contrary to Sun"s delight the Mother Fallen become furious. He thought that he would finally kill Sun but an unexpected variable appeared. He looked towards where the arrows came from and saw a beautiful maiden holding a bow on her hands

As soon as the fallen looked at her, Anna immediately felt cold sweats all over her body. It was like a furious beast was looking at her and wanted to rip her into shreds

With difficulty in anger the Mother Fallen hold out his other hand and also clenched it. The same thing happened to Anna and the energy particles around her locked her on her place. She can"t move her body no matter how much he tried

At this time, Annie finally catched up to her sister. She naturally, won"t leave her here. If her sister die she won"t hesitate to die along with her. There was almost a hundred percent that their parents are already dead, how can she live if her sister die here too?

"Sister!" Annie whipped her horse and sped up, she completely disregarded her life and only want to hold her sister

Too bad for the Mother Fallen, this was the most stupid action he did as he was blinded with anger. As he used more of his powers again more chains appeared on his body until the chains completely wrapped his whole body

The fallen felt an unimaginable pain all over his body. The fallen spasmed as if countless electric currents were pa.s.sing on its body. He lose control on the surrounding energy which made Sun and Anna to be free

As soon as she regain control over her body, Anna immediately catch her breath. The feeling of being lock on her place overwhelmed all of her senses

Sun on the other hand forcefully controlled his wings amidst his injury. Even now his whole body was still bleeding due to his earlier resistance. He looked towards his savior and he forgot the pain on his body

There he saw what might possibly the most beautiful woman he ever saw. She radiated an innocent and independent aura, plus the fact that she saved him from death made an unknown emotion to bubbled inside his cold dead heart that only wants to gain more strenght

The fallen glowed with white holy aura so powerful that it made everyone kneel on the ground. No one would believe an aura this holy came from a fallen. Even Sun was overwhelmed with this power and he immediately flew down, as soon as he landed on the ground the power from those white light made him to be on his knees

Sun gritted his teeth and he slammed his fist on the ground, for him this was an utter humiliation. How can he let himself kneel just because of the aura from that white energy?

From the fallen"s body countless tendrils of white light emerge and flew everywhere on the city. When the light touched any fallen they immediately vanished without even leaving an ash. This was the Angel Raphaela"s punishement for any Mother Fallen who used too much of their power

The tendrils of white light only targeted those fallens that are in the Knight Rank. Soon, all the Knight Rank Fallens in the entire city vanished without even leaving a corpse. Even the only Grand Knight Fallen in the city became a victim of those light and vanished

Only the Warrior Rank Fallens was left on the entire city, just a single mistake of his made all the effort he made in the past few months to vanish without a trace

The Mother Fallen, however was in too much pain to care about what happened and he screamed violently. When the white light subsided the only thing that was left was the Mother Fallen and the warrior rank fallens

Ignoring the pain for now, the Mother Fallen ordered all the remaining fallens to attack Sun while ordering the others to carry his bulging body away before fainting

Although Sun wanted to kill it his body was too injured to do that. Using his will power, Sun controlled whatever energy was left on his body to fly and escape from the city

Unfortunately, almost all of his energy rampaged inside him and only a little was left. He was only able to fly outside the city and landed in front of Anna who was currently being hugged by her little sister

Looking at the bloodied body of Sun, Anna immediately went to help him. "[Innate Skill: Nature"s Cradle!]"

A dome of light green energy covered Sun who was now unconscious, the energy on it was slowly healing him. The good thing is as soon as he left the city"s vicinity the fallens didn"t continue their pursuit

"Let"s go!" Anna said and carrier Sun"s body. Thankfully, she was a Supernatural that has strength much greater than normal people

----

"[Innate Skill: Root Whip!]" King"s arms turned into long flexible roots and slapped all the fallen"s head that was coming to him. The impact from the root shattered most of the fallen"s head, specially those who are lower ranked

"[Dark Magic: Shadow Servant!]" From Kennedy"s shadow emerged three humanoid shape shadows holding daggers on their hand

The two"s back was resting on one another as if they were comrades in death. In the time that pa.s.sed both of them become more stronger and improved their skills. King now developed an AoE skill while Kennedy successfully equipped his Shadow Servants with weapons greatly increasing their strenght

As the two fought with each other they gained a mutual understanding and their team work almost reached perfection. They are not even afraid even though a horde of one hundred fallens were coming to them

The fallens were mostly Warrior Ranks while the others are in the early to mid stage Knight while there was only one in the peak stage of Knight Rank

"I"ll kill the strongest fallen can you cover me?" King asked Kennedy. This time both of them are already in the peak stage of Knight Rank and was more powerful than a month ago

The only unfortunate thing is that they already used up all the blue fruits that King has. This made him to take the fights more seriously. The most important thing to do now was to kill the strongest fallen who is the greatest threat

They need to finish the fight as soon as possible before they run out of energy

"Okay!" Kennedy nodded and use another magic

"[Dark Magic: Dark Fogs!]" Kennedy"s body started emitting black cloud of fogs. All the fallens that come into contact with the fog felt something crawling on their body but with their minds they naturally ignored it

Kennedy controlled the fog not to kill them but only used it to damage their legs so that they would be unable to move. This magic of his will enter the enemy"s body and attack from the inside. If they were Supernatural humans they can easily dispel it as Kennedy didn"t focus its fire power in a single target

The energy attacked from the inside of these fallens but as their heads contained more energy he wouldn"t be able to kill targets this many. Their head contained most of their energy and although these fallens won"t directly defend themselves but Kennedy"s magic will still met resistance. This was the best he can do at his current level but it was enough for King

King charged towards the peak Knight Fallen with his root arm. "[Magic Skill: Extreme Harden!]" His magic skill also improved and it can make his body harder than before

King"s root arm gained a deep metallic l.u.s.ter, greatly increasing its durability. His root arm collided with the fallen"s fist causing the fallen"s hand to bleed

This fallen was like a tank type, equipped with muscular body that has great defense. It was hard to destroy its defense even if you are in the same rank as it

The only down side is that its body was slower and it was hard for it to change direction. Seeing that his first attack was ineffective, King walked pa.s.s it and strike the fallen on its back

His hardened root arm struck its head causing blood to fall out but its defense was really astonishing as it was still alive. The fallen finally managed to turn its back and threw a punch towards King

King nimbly side stepped to dodge and once again went to its back. This time the fallen reacted a bit faster and King was not able to attack the area which he already injured. Instead, his root landed on the other area of the fallen"s head

Still, this was not a problem as he can easily dodge the fallen"s attack. He can just wear it down until he finally cracked open its head
