While Bladeheart is dealing with the Bishop inside the large flame arena, the others continue their fight. Alain led everyone with the support of the players to deal with the revived soldiers to finish off and stop them from resurrecting.
"Destroy their heads! If they don't have their heads destroyed, they will keep coming back to life!" Alain commands as he slices 3 of the undead angels in one swing.
"Boss! These guys are too many!" one of the soldiers is getting overwhelmed.
Then, a bubble enveloped the undead, slowing their movements and relieving the pressure on the soldier.
"Thanks!" the soldier looked at the person who helped, Kylan providing support by giving debuffs to the enemies and inflicting them with slow movements so that the others could attack the enemies with an easier time.
Tsuru who was bashing all the enemies he can find realized something. "Guys, this is strange. Why is it that even though we are already fighting for too long and yet the enemies don't seem to reduce in numbers? They should have thinned out now as they are not as difficult to kill as before!"
Sigma who was watching the situation unfold realized it too. She just didn't observe the enemies much as she was focused on killing the enemies and healing the allies but she was indeed sure that something is amiss.
Then, while fighting against the enemies, everyone heard a familiar laugh not too far from them. When the person who laughed started walking towards them, the angels who are attacking previously started lining up like making a way to the person who was coming.
"There it is!" Harmless Sparrow's eyes found an opportunity and unleashed her signature move, [Phoenix Drive].
"Everyone move out of my way! [PHOENIX DRIVE]!"
FWOOOOM!
The giant bird made of flames flew to the streets where the undead angels are standing. Because they lined up perfectly, the flaming attack of Harmless Sparrow passes through the angels, burning them all to ashes, leaving only their burning bodies that soon turn to ashes that would still burn for a bit of time before it disappears.
It continued until the very end when something caused the [Phoenix Drive] to get blocked and disappear as a result. Harmless Sparrow frowned seeing it disappear. After all, it doesn't get blocked by enemies most of the time and only a few enemies are capable of deflecting or nullifying that. Even obstacles like walls and big rocks explode in contact with it but what happened just now was something else.
Then, the laughter from earlier once again started to echo around the area but this time, the source of the laughter is now possible to track and everyone already has an idea where the person was laughing from.
"Show yourself!" Sigma then throws a golden javelin in the direction where the [Phoenix Drive] disappear to catch the person off guard and appear before them but...
POOOF!
pAn,Da n<0,>v,e1 The golden javelin turned into a puff of smoke and disappear, just like the flames earlier. Sigma is not shocked but she heightened her guard to the highest as the enemy before they are not even showing themselves.
"Who would have thought we would meet again like this, my dear friend, Alain." the voice has become clearer now and everyone who heard the owner of the voice immediately knew who this was. Those who don't know him or do not recognize the person are still confused.
"I don't recall you giving the permission to call me friend, you bastard winged f*cker."
"Whoa there, calm down, son. I know you have a deep hatred for me but please be careful with your words. God is watching you."
"You piece of sh*t...You think becoming allied with the church fancies you as a religious bastard. Besides, that god you are worshipping is someone who shouldn't be worshipped with. How low have you gone already?"
The mysterious person speaking removed the invisibility power that hides him and showed up to everyone, revealing it was actually the Tactician himself.
"Hahaha, not that low. I have my pride as well so I am not that bad of an angel. You might say, I just decided to ride a wagon full of opportunities and reap the fruits of my labor instead. If I were you, I would have done the same as well."
"YOU KILLED MY DAUGHTER!"
"Oh my, I thought you had already forgotten about that but you still haven't let that go? Shouldn't you be ashamed that you keep clinging to your dead daughter and still couldn't forget about the incident?"
"Enough. Just hearing you talk makes me angrier than I should be. Even if you are an important person of the Luminous Continent, I will become the devil's advocate and do the deed to eliminate you instead."
Alain didn't hesitate, pulled out his sword and rushed towards the Tactician, and swung his sword down in a flash.
PANG!
The tactician grinned as he blocks his sword of Alain using his gauntlet. "You are getting rusty, my friend."
Alain pushes the Tactician away and disappears before reappearing behind him. But still, the guy managed to block him easily.
"Too slow!"
Sigma was about to fire a golden chain at the Tactitician in a fight but Alain stopped her.
"Stop what you are doing! I am doing this alone and I will do it without anyone's help."
The tactician started laughing. "That's so generous of you to be fair on me! Unfortunately, I am not the same as you."
With the tap of his shoes, a few shadow-like figures appeared out of nowhere and suddenly surrounded Alain.
"F*CKING HELL..." Alain is not surprised but he cursed after he saw it, which means he knew he uses that skill before.
But Alain is resolute. This is a revenge that lasted for how many years already and this opportunity is hard to come by. For revenge, it was the only way and he will not stop until the very end.
"I will kill you, you bastard! [GRUDGE MATCH]!"
The Tactician who was ready to humiliate Alain stopped moving and his face pained after a few seconds.
"W-what the f*ck is going on?!"
"Nothing, I will just drag you to hell."
After that, a large portal opened beside them and Alain grabbed the stiff Tactician by the collar before throwing him inside the portal and jumping in himself, and disappearing, leaving everyone else wondering what happened.
As for what that portal was, it was the power unique to Alain after he awakened when his daughter died. A power that is meant to be used for something else, a power that was meant to be used to isolate something or someone from danger. This time around, Alain is going to face one himself.
The Tactician stood up after he has fallen from the other dimension and looked around, only to realize that it was a giant arena with high walls and no doors. A skill that allows the user to create an alternate space where he will use a little bit of catalyst and create a separate place that he can use for the future.
"Now, boy. Time to have our own Grudge Match begin!"
