Killing Heavenly Spirits (v18/19)

Those who were willing to incarnate were selected from those who were not former angels.

Kagali was naturally chosen as one of them.

The others were Teare, Footman, Vega, Orca-Aria, Arios, and Mai Furuki.

Their bodies were reborn as the tremendous powers clashed within their body.

Thus Kagali and the others, with the exception of Vega, were reborn as “Yōten” (Heavenly Spirits)

“Hyahaha! You’ve been a tough opponent. I’ll give you that. That’s why I’ll kill you with my best move!”

With that said, he unleashed ‘Judgment,’ the sure-kill move of the Ultimate Enchantment ‘Punishment King Sandalphon.’ It pierced right through, and Souei’s ‘Split Body’ fizzled out. Seeing this, Arios was convinced that he had won. It was understandable.

Judgment could only be fired once a day, but it was the strongest means of attack. It was less powerful than the one that Lieutenant Kondou had fired, but it was still a blow that could not be broken. It was understandable that he believed Souei’s death to be certain, but that was exactly what Souei was waiting for.

“Thousand-Hand Shadow Kill.”

“Wa—?”

A shadow stretched out and grabbed Arios.

“W-wait!”

Souei blocked Arios’ movements and pierced through his heart with the twin swords in his hands.
