Azrael sensed demonic powers were used in. It took a while, but eventually they spotted a few more dark angels in the sky just ahead. All of the dark angels were converging on a small village, which was among picturesque hills and forests. Upon getting closer, Adelais noticed that there was a chaos on the streets of the village, and three of the buildings were ablaze.
- “I sure hope the one responsible is still there.” He said out loud.
- “He is.” Azrael confirmed, “I can already see him.”
Adelais turned back to face the village that they were approaching and noticed a solitary knight battling several dark angels at the same time. He already slaughtered every single one of the village guards and was now single-handedly repelling the attack from dark angels. It was impossible for an ordinary human to be able to do that, no matter how trained in fighting he or she was. That confirmed once again that the assailant used demonic powers.
Just as Azrael and his troop landed, one more of the dark angels battling the enemy had gotten killed. Four more were still fighting back. Gideon and Cael were among those, as well as Ilana, another member of Gideon’s troop. The last one was Jager, from Purgatory sector. Azrael and his team quickly joined the battle. The enemy noticed the arrival of reinforcements and quickly took a few steps back to analyse the battle strategy.
- “Reveal your name and state your intention.” Azrael demanded, now automatically speaking in a language Garridan understood.
- “I am Garridan, and I am here to purify this rotten world from the diseased individuals.” He answered Azrael’s question, much to everyone’s surprise.
- “We request that you stop this immediately.”
- “I am not going to stop. The divine forces gave me a job, and I am going to see that it’s done.” Garridan retorted.
- “You are deluded.” Azrael stated with assurance, “It’s not the divine forces that gave you this job but the demonic.”
- “I am not about to take your word for it.” Garridan snapped at him and then darted forward in order to produce a lethal slash in Azrael’s direction.
Azrael sidestepped in good time to avoid getting struck in the face with a sword. Garridan quickly followed the swing towards Adelais, who evaded it successfully. Gideon and Jager dived at Garridan there and grabbed him in order to knock him down. Garridan, however, managed to overpower them and came out of their hold. As soon as he pushed them back, he slashed at Gideon, injuring him on his weapon wielding arm. Jager charged at Garridan there, but Garridan parried his attack with a quick reaction and produced a retaliatory slash to the angel’s throat, killing him. That was the third dark angel to fall by Garridan’s hands. Adelais knew charging straight for the enemy was a risky and very dangerous thing to do. One had to be well-protected before approaching Garridan.
- “Ethel, cover me.” He quickly told her.
Ethel understood exactly what he meant and cast a protective shield around Adelais as he charged at Garridan. Garridan saw Adelais, enveloped by a shield, propel through the air towards him. At the last possible moment Garridan rolled out of the way, causing Adelais to miss. Adelais, however, quickly manoeuvred in the air and was now flying back towards Garridan, who was already duelling with Cael. Adelais braced himself and eventually rammed into Garridan from behind, knocking him onto the ground. Azrael managed to approach Garridan at this stage and to kick him hard enough so that Garridan flew into the air, and eventually into the wall of a nearby building.
All of the dark angels moved closer to Garridan as he instantaneously rose back from the ground. Cael and Ilana took this chance and dived at Garridan at the same time, hoping
