Chapter 66 The strongest.
Anzel, Gea, Anastasia, Eun Soo, and Luis were sitting at the dining table and stared at Sasha without blinking their eyes. They still couldn't believe the last member of the Virtue skill series that they had been waiting for was right in front of them. Find exclusive stories on empire
"I never thought that you would be here..." Anzel said.
"I'm not from here, I came from England and I posted a reply in the forum a few hours ago, but none of you replied to it. When I found Gea's name and where she lived, I decided to take a flight here to meet her," Sasha answered as she looked at each one of them because they all looked young compared to her.
"Wait a minute. You said that you're a Redshield? Isn't the Redshield guild a part of the Guilds of the World? Doesn't that mean you have met Mykel Alester in person?" Eun Soo asked and looked at Sasha with a bit of suspicion.
"Are you afraid of something?" Sasha asked with her eyebrows furrowed because she was confused why Eun Soo seemed to fear Mykel.
Anzel and the others looked at each other and they were a bit confused as to why Sasha didn't fear him. It was obvious that Mykel deleted his novel to prevent anyone from knowing, and that alone was enough to say that he would do something to those who knew.
"Can you prove your power to us? We don't know who you are, and how you came here unnoticed and knew where Gea lived is making us feel unease. You could be lying to us and there's a chance you're here because Mykel asked you to," Anzel answered with a serious expression.
Sasha was surprised at how they really feared Mykel and the fact they were avoiding Mykel made her realize that she was told the same. She looked around to prove her skill, but seeing there was nothing that could hurt her made it hard to prove it to them. Suddenly a notification appeared in front of her from Raphael, and then she looked at Anzel.
"You can ask the being that's shrouded in mystery if I'm one of you or not," Sasha said.
Anzel was dumbfounded when Sasha found out about the being shrouded in mystery, and then he saw a notification in front of him. The being shrouded in mystery could vouch that Sasha was one of them.
"I believe that should be enough proof for you," Sasha said as she looked at Anzel staring blankly at the air.
Gea and the others looked at Anzel, wondering what the being told him.
"She's one of us," Anzel said as he nodded his head. "But how do you know about the being? I didn't tell you or anyone about it except these guys," Anzel asked and stared at Sasha with his eyebrows furrowed.
"Because I believe each one of us has it. It's just that the archangels that gifted you their powers still don't want to communicate with you, only both of us have," Sasha answered. "Before you ask anything about it, I'm not allowed to say anything else because it's something that you will find out yourself," Sasha continued.
They never thought their powers came directly from a higher being called an angel, not even in the slightest. They immediately discussed it and started speculating that Mykel and his characters had come to destroy Earth. They started to believe that they were chosen because they were some kind of savior to people on Earth to stop Mykel.
Sasha finally realized why these people were chosen, and why Raphael wanted her to meet them in person. They were like her, given power under The Lord's will to prevent Earth from getting destroyed. But there was one thing that they didn't realize and only she knew about it. The Lord, Lucifer, Archangels, demons, and humans, were all playing a game, a game where they didn't really care about the process, only the result.
No matter what she heard from them and how they were chosen, the best of the best, she couldn't look at herself or them as saviors. The truth was too cruel and disgusting that they were just chess pieces in a game. It baffled her that those higher beings were exactly how Mykel depicted the Constellations in his novel. She realized how terrifying Mykel's thoughts were and how he was right about it all along.
"Miss Sasha?" Gea asked as she looked at Sasha with her eyebrows raised.
"Yes? I'm sorry, I was deep in thought," Sasha replied.
"We were talking about our plan of moving to Australia to meet Danny who's also one of us. We want to help him deal with the portal there, and since we are all here, we should go and meet him," Anastasia explained.
"I see. Yeah, let's do that," Sasha answered as she nodded her head because it wasn't a bad idea. As long as she could get away from those demons, she wouldn't ask for anything else.
"Before that, since you're the last member, is your level still one? If so, we can help you gain level and we know the right place to hunt low-level demons," Anzel suggested as he looked at Sasha. "Do you have a weapon? If you don't, we can lend you a weapon," Anzel offered.
Sasha opened her suitcase and showed two different daggers to everyone, and they looked expensive. Those daggers were artifacts that Mykel gave Johan from the Raid Guild, but they didn't know that.
"I have these. Should I get a sword instead?" Sasha asked.
"If you're confident with those, I don't think you should use another weapon," Anastasia answered. "We have Eun Soo now, so there shouldn't be a problem even if you struggle with those," Anastasia pointed out.
"I see, then I'll be in your care," Sasha smiled and nodded her head with understanding.
They left the apartment, and when they saw Sasha's car, they realized that she was rich. They had no idea that she was that rich, so they started to find out any information about the Redshield family. They found out how rich the Redshield family was, and it was no wonder she had those daggers.
Sasha told them about her ski to them, and they found out how overpowered her skill was. They all then told her about their skills and what their effects were. She could tell that Luis was a tanker, Eun Soo was a support, and Anzel, Anastasia, and Gea were the attackers. A perfect team to deal with demons, and not to mention Danny was also an attacker like them.
When they arrived at the area where demons were still lurking around and inside the building, Anzel took the lead. Sasha was nervous because it would be her first time hunting demons, and when she found a gargoyle, Anzel, and the others protected her.
"This demon is too much for you, let us handle it," Anzel said as he readied his stance.
The gargoyle flew toward them and readied its sharp claws and fangs to tear them up. Anzel waited until the right moment, and when the gargoyle was low enough, he dashed forward and swung his sword at it. The gargoyle was cut in half like paper, and he did that without any effort.
"Now that the blood has been spilled, the other demons will come, so be ready," Anzel said as he looked around.
It was as Anzel said, the demons that started to swarm the street because of the smell of the blood. Everyone was busy dealing with the gargoyles as Sasha watched how they dealt with them. She explained that those demons were the same as in the novel and that their weaknesses were also the same. She knew about that already, and she was also the one to blame that it happening.
"Miss Sasha! Watch out!" Anastasia shouted as she pointed at something behind Sasha.
Sasha turned around and she unconsciously thought about Lucifer giving her power. She saw the gargoyle that was about to scratch her face with its right hand. Sasha moved her hand and cut off the gargoyle's hand in a blink of an eye, and she didn't stop there and immediately swung her other dagger diagonally at the gargoyle's body. She cut the gargoyle that was four times her size in half and killed it instantly.
"Miss Sasha, are you sure you're level 1?" Eun Soo asked as soon as she arrived to check Sasha if she was wounded anywhere.
"Yes, I just leveled up after I killed the gargoyle," Sasha answered and she also couldn't believe she had just done that. "Also, I'm fine. I can handle myself since I can't be harmed by anything," Sasha said and looked at Eun Soo.
"Right... it's a habit of mine," Eun Soo replied as she chuckled nervously.
Sasha joined the fight and she immediately showed them how strong she was. They thought it was because of the daggers that she was holding, but her punches and kicks were as dangerous as the daggers. She could easily kill dozens of gargoyles on her own in just a few minutes, and she was invincible.
"She's so strong. Perhaps she's strongest than all of us combined," Gea said as she watched Sasha fight four gargoyles at the same time.
"I think so too," Aznel nodded his head in agreement.
