36 Chapter 35: First appearance of barbaric angel

(Mael's POV)

Standing at the face of the gate connecting two regions of Christianity i.e. Heaven and underworld, was a man in his golden armor and holding a sword in his hand. In addition to four white wings of the angel on his back, there was also a horn and a unique halo was also positioned on his head. A white robe was also tied around his waist.

"So this is the gate that will lead me to the underworld?"

My eyes were glued on the gate where angels were entering and leaving without bothering to talk to me but curiosity can be seen in their eyes as many probably had never seen an angel with a horn and such a unique halo. Also only two pairs of wings on my back despite me being an ultimate angel.

"Well, no time wasting here."

I prayed before stepping forward.

A whole new sky replaced the white sky with red and black clouds.

Underworld is huge. Probably bigger than earth combined with the heavens of all factions combined with no one ever seen the edge of such supernatural place.

There are also many floors of underworld related to each pantheon with Purgatory connecting to Third Heaven but since it was the time of war, ONE opened several gates at the edge of the main underworld where demon territory resides.

Currently, the one part of the territory that was appointed to me was the place far away from the main capital of the underworld meaning that I had to prove my abilities to try and secure a part of the territory before I reached the main intercourse.

I flew away till I reached giant flying balls, the current foothold of the heaven faction.

Entering the main hall, I asked one servant angel to let me meet the current general of the place.

"Mael, thank goodness, you are here. It has been getting hard on me to keep devils at bay now!" The person who entered the room had six pairs of wings like other seraphs and blond hair like many of the angels but was wearing silver a tight outfit like a ninja rather than a warrior fighting in a war.

I ignored his bizarre ninja-looking attire and asked, "Metatron, report me the current situation."

My tune might sound a little rude but I was also an ultimate angel, more or above strength than this ninja angel.

"Marbas and Valefor had increased the army ten times the last time. They even had 10 ultimate class generals among them making it quite hard to properly maintain our defense."

"MaRbAs!!!"

When I heard the name Marbas, my veins began popping out of my skull as I heard the name. It was that house responsible for misguiding the French and British forces. Although most of the devils were then getting clean from churches around the globe, it didn't matter much since the reason devils even wage a war against God was their sheer population.

"H-hey friend…"

I woke up from my fantasies where I was killing devils when Metatron called me. Not only him but the rest of the angels also diverged their attention towards me as my aura could be felt from afar.

I shook my head and took a deep breath. I knew that my mental state was in a mess and I hardly could maintain my head during the presence of devils.

"Gather all injured angels in one place."

"Right."

I ordered and Metatron nodded. He was already informed about my strength and my abilities so he didn't mind acting as my subordinate for the time being.

After all injured angels gathered in one spot, I then began to cast my healing.

Slowly but steadily, the light emerging from my palms started healing their wounds even regenerating their lost limbs.

"Marvelous, to think our Lord has entrusted you with such a blessing!" I heard Metatron praising my healing ability.

I was about to correct him that most of my abilities are from another world but I stopped since it didn't matter.

After that Metatron along with the army of three thousand angels led me to the current battleground.

I also wore my mask leaving an opening enough to see around everything clearly.

Then I saw why devils developed balls to fight angels head-on.

Okay, angels! Although have a great advantage against devils, they are naïve and innocent.

They were continuously fighting with devils straight ahead without any kind of strategy! What the hell!?

'That's why Heaven is suffering such huge loss despite having advantage…'

Four to five devils were fighting a single angel with no problem. Even if one or more died in battle, thousands upon thousands were waiting for their dying comrade.

It was clear quantity over quality war!

"Metatron! Announce all troops to retreat!"

"Right!" Metatron abided by my orders and mentally ordered all angels to retreat.

"Kekeke, oh a new angel with a golden sword?" A devil spoke who came forward after detecting my presence. He was similar to a human but had pointy ears. He was not alone as he came with four other devils and all of them were low ultimate level devils.

I turned around and saw Metatron fighting with the other 3 ultimate-level devils. He also looked worried since it was my first battle and I was already in presence of 4 ultimate devils.

"How about I introduce myself first? My name is Lankos Mar-"

Before he could finish his sentence I slashed his head horizontally with the golden sword.

'…'

Silence prevailed everywhere as the talking devil fell on the ground like a puppet whose strings have been cut.

An ultimate-level devil died just like that.

"I don't need to know your filthy bats' names. I will just call you Dead 1."

I smirked under the helmet.

"Damn! What kind of angel are-"

Again, before Dead 2 could finish his words, I grabbed his neck and severed his lower body. Before his eyes, his lower body fell followed by his other guts.

"Second, I do not like talking with you filthy insects during the battle."

I said looking at the eyes of Dead 2 before light also faded from his eyes.

Poor thing didn't even know when I appeared before his eyes since I was already using [Flash].

!!!

The other two, Dead 3 and Dead 4 panicked and leaped forward to attack while also enchanting defensive spells to protect themselves from holy power but I was faster as I appeared before their eyes, released Excalibur, grabbed their heads, and smashed their heads against other.

"Filthy worms!" I spat on their falling bodies.

Four ultimate-level devils died in a matter of minutes. Although they were low-level ultimate class devils, they were highly arrogant, and again, power levels mean nothing if you possess such cheat-like abilities.

"What is that?"

I then saw something leaving their bodies. White orbs emerged from their bodies before leaving towards heaven but not before thanking me.

Souls.

Those were the souls of humans they had consumed!

I felt awkwardly relieved when I saw their souls leaving for a second chance. They may have committed sins but none of them were supposed to be treated like meals. They deserve better treatment and a second chance to be born and live a better life.

"Need help?"

I asked Metatron who was still fighting with the other three devil generals.

"Yeah. I am sorry but I think I appreciate the help!" Metatron smiled awkwardly.

Although there was not much hierarchy among angels, he looked a little ashamed where his junior already finished his task before him on the first day of the job.

I nodded and channeled Ark in Excalibur. I also activated Heavenly Eyes to choose the suitable strike line.

"Watch out for that fuck-"

Before two devils, Dead 5 and Dead 6 could take their guards; I appeared behind them followed by an arc of light passing them connected with Excalibur.

Before their eyes, their lower bodies fell leaving only terror and horror in their eyes.

I nodded at Metatron who also nodded and killed the devil whose eyes were stuck on me with terror.

"Mael, your speed is even greater than Carmiel. If he was alive, he would like to have a duel with him."

It means he is dead. Some Seraphs have already died

"But then do you have a plan for them?" Metatron then pointed at the horde of devils rushing towards us.

"No problem."

I smiled and then the sword on my head turned into a shiny gold bow.

I then activated my Heavenly Eyes and selected all the strings leading to perfect headshots.

I pulled the string as a white Ark arrow formed for my aim.

"Time to crush insects."

And I released the arrow.

The arrow fired straight towards them but not before splitting into thousands of small arrows.

!!!!!!!

Before devils could even realize it, sharp white arrows began piercing their skulls. Even their defensive barriers or shields didn't manage to protect them from my arrows!

"Retreat! Retreat!"

I heard one Devil general announcing for the withdrawal but I didn't stop my attack until I killed every single devil from my sight.

"Phew! That was wild. It is indeed refreshing to kill them. How satisfactory~. Umu, Umu~" First time in my life I felt so good!!

It was a delightful experience as I received the gratitude of thousands of souls leaving their bodies.

"What…?"

"….Apologies please but are you really not a seraph yet?"

"No."

Although my strength was more or less similar to another seraph even giving a tough time to Four Great Seraphs, I was not granted any position of a seraph. I was alone Angel General without any army.

"Anyway, there is no time. We should get going!" I was excited to erase House Marbas out of existence as a stepping stone to their extinction but the Seraph had other plans.

"I am sorry but this is where our Lord has ordered to keep a defensive line. Besides, they have already retreated so it would be cowardly to chase after helpless enemy."

'IT IS NOT COWARDLY BUT UTTER FOOLISHNESS!'

I had the urge to scream and berate them for their naivety but I held myself as most of the angels were already looking at me as if I was raised by barbarians by the way I killed those devils in 'dishonor' way.

For god sake, they are not enemies but demons, and killing them isn't even sin. What does he think we are here for!?

"Fine. Don't follow me there. I will take care of them myself." I said and flew away.

It was fine since I wanted to go all out and erase House of Marbas from the surface of the underworld.

"Just wait and see, you filthy worthless insects, I will clean this world!"

(3rd person's POV)

"Hmm, he is more like a barbaric samurai. I think he should wear samurai armor." Metatron nodded and thought that the newbie angel was a little rough with the way he fought.

But even though his style was a little odd, he was at least loyal to heaven as he didn't fall when he was cursing or calling devils, insects, or garbage.

"Well, it is still better this way. Time to place a defensive barrier." Since the newbie had taken care of all gory works, all is left for seraph to do odd works.

He then flew back while performing some hand signs.

Other angels ignored these two angels, one barbaric and the other odd-looking angel since angels like seraphs tend to have some unique quirks.9.-
