Chapter 243: Archangel Gabriel
The dispelling of the Sweep didn't bother the archangel too much. The archangel had only reacted when Wu Yan pulled out Meteor Shower.
Her attitude was a stark contrast compared to the Kanzaki Kaori, Kamijou Touma, and Kamijou Touya. They stared at his Meteor Shower in shock, horror, and sternness.
Of course, one individual who just arrived here had the same surprised look on his face.
"That's… Mental Out?"
Tsuchimikado Motoharu hesitated for a moment there before he cried out. He lived in the city for so long and with an identity like his, it wouldn't take too long for him to recognize Shokuhou Misaki as the Lv5 esper she is.
Kanzaki Kaori turned around in response to the voice and frowned at Tsuchimikado Motoharu.
"You know this girl?"
He looked at Wu Yan who floated in the sky before nodding.
"She is Shokuhou Misaki, one of the seven Lv5 espers in this city. Her ability is as her epithet Mental Out implies, she's an expert when it comes to psychological manipulation…"
Tsuchimikado Motoharu grinned and started s.c.r.e.w.i.n.g around.
"But, I don't think she's the real Lv5, I have never heard that No.5 can fly-nya!"
Kanzaki Kaori flinched for a moment before she realized what he's talking about.
"You're saying that she's affected by Angel Fall as well?"
Tsuchimikado Motoharu nodded while Kamijou Touma scratched his head in confusion.
"Then, just who the hell is that girl up there?"
nobody answered him, in fact, they shared the very same question. Kanzaki Kaori turned grave and mumbled.
"Let's hope she's not one of the enemies…"
Tsuchimikado Motoharu seemed to have heard Kanzaki Kaori, he looked at the girl in the sky again before making a note to himself to investigate her. It would be bad if some individual who had so much power lurked in the dark unknown to him. If she should one day decide to meddle in the world's power struggle, she could cause a lot of issues.
Indeed, he had seen her firing an arrow that looked like it could shatter the sky.
Gabriel didn't express anything at the sight of someone dispelling her Sweep. But, she (Author note, angels have no genders, but since the archangel is inhibiting a loli's body at the moment, her gender will be female for narrative purposes)is clearly focusing her attention on Wu Yan.
A glint of light flashed in her eyes that were as still as calm water. Gabriel locked onto Wu Yan and lifted her hand to create a weird weapon.
To someone who is expressionless like her, pointless chatters are moot. Anyone who prevented her swift reunion at her Lord's side is to be disposed of with haste.
Gabriel used some kind of move as she flapped her wings. The immediate space vibrated with weird movements before countless ice pillars shot out from the wings at Wu Yan.
Experiencing a major change in expression, he moved his fingers and his body started dodging the ice pillars like willow leaves dancing in the wind. If one were to examine closer, one would find minute grains of iron sand under Wu Yan's feet and coat around his hands.
This move required some minor tweak to his calculations, it basically allowed him to fly by manipulating iron sand, a move he had learned after using iron sand to cushion his fall during his fight with Accelerator.
This move didn't require a substantial amount of computing power, he could achieve free flight by altering his formulations just a bit. His control over it is just as deft as the control he had over his own limbs.
"Here I come!"
Kanzaki Kaori had a hand on her Seven Heavens Sword and she yelled at Kamijou Touma, Kamijou Touya as well as Tsuchimikado Motoharu to get moving.
"You guys, go and destroy the ritual place of Angel Fall!"
Kamijou Touma yelled back in surprise.
"What about you?"
Kanzaki Kaori looked at Wu Yan who was busy dodging the attacks from Gabriel.
"I will stay here and find a way to stop Gabriel!"
"You want to fight the angel?"
Kamijou Touma couldn't believe what he is hearing. Even if he wasn't well versed in magic related affairs. He knew that angels are something humans can't handle.
Kamijou Touma didn't know that he's talking to a Saint with Stigma, if there is anyone who can resist the angels, it would be her.
It appears, however, that Kanzaki Kaori isn't keen on using her Stigma. She looked at Wu Yan who is still dodging Gabriel's attack frantically before replying.
"It's okay, with my abilities and the strength of this mysterious woman, we should be able to delay Gabriel."
"But…"
Kamijou Touma didn't looked like he was convinced so Tsuchimikado Motoharu pulled him back by his arm before grinning.
"Don't worry nya! The lady boss can put up a fight on her own nya! We have our own matters to attend to nya!"
Kamijou Touma gnashed his teeth when he heard his friend. He followed after Tsuchimikado Motoharu and Kamijou Touya as they ran towards his home, the ritual place of the Angel Fall event.
Kanzaki Kaori looked at their retreating figures before mumbling.
"I leave it to you guys…"
Unknown to her, another group of individuals is heading there to demolish the house as well.
The ice pillars were shot at him like a freaking ice bullet rain. One shot is all it takes to destroy Joou-sama's exquisite body.
He frantically evaded all the attacks by relying on his flying ability. Before long, he had started heaving.
He wanted to strike back but the bullet rain didn't allow him any chance to do so. He didn't even have the time to draw his Meteor Shower.
The only way he can fight back against Gabriel is to rely on his equipment, his other skills like Sword Master, Electromaster Lv5 can't be used against an opponent an entire tier above him unless he's looking for a quick way to die.
Just dodging the angel's attacks is already something he can barely manage. No doubt about the strength this archangel possess, its simplistic attacks of shooting ice pillars are already on this kind of level. If she used another one of its angelic spells.
It seemed like she also wanted to settle things quickly. Her eyes shined and water tornadoes formed from the sea as they churned towards Wu Yan like water dragons.
The distance between the two fighters is only slightly over ten meters. With their ability, an attack of this level would reach in just the span of a few breathes. And so, the water tornadoes cometh.
Wu Yan didn't want to receive such a huge attack. Lightning crackled and he dodged to the side.
The water dragons turned into giant ice pillars piercing through his former location and slammed towards Wu Yan.
His expression turned grave, the water dragons were already pretty fast, when they turned into ice pillars, surprisingly, their speed increased instead of slowing down. It came towards him so fast the air whistled.
He clenched his teeth and brought Meteor Shower while silently apologizing to Shokuhou Misaki's body. He's going to exchange hit points with the angel.
Suddenly, a sword beam appeared and slashed the incoming ice pillars to pieces.
