Chapter 88: Songstress
960 Words
Without further ado, the traitor, Viola, jumps in the direction of the muscular woman, Leona. Not a hint of emotion was shown on her face. She thrust her rapier at maximum speed. “Stinger!” Leona avoided the rapier by stepping sideways and she caught the blade using her palms.
“I have caught your weapon now!” Leona said.
“How’s stupid…”
Viola pulled out at speed. Cutting Leona’s palm as a result. Second, Viola aimed at Leona’s chest, going for a direct one-shot kill toward the heart.
Before the tip of the sword reaches its target. A transparent mirror-like object appeared, blocking the rapier from piercing through.
“A barrier?”
Viola rotated her body, kicking Leona in her guts. Lean endured the hit and her body was knocked away in a few meters.
“The rumor that you only use one piece of magic must be a lie. That was barrier magic just now.”
“Dynamic punch is my main magic and the core of my technique. I never spread rumors of me only using one magic…As a knight of Redgrave, I have to be flexible. I do have some healing and barrier magic to aim myself in dire moments like this… Look at my hand… The cut is nowhere to be found anymore… But it was sure stupid of me at I thought I could snap that thin sword of yours with my strength… But you already lost Viola.”
“What?”
“You see, I’m merely having fun… The one that you should be wary of wasn’t me. Her ability does take a few minutes to be used because she needs to first prepare the amplifier for her guitar.”
The girl behind Leona, Olivia.
She’s already in her Female rock star mode. Her hair is tied up together and in her hand is her cool electric guitar. The small flying amplifier monster in the appearance of a small cute bat demon with a huge speaker serving as its mouth.
“Sorry for the wait… The live show will start now… Gabriel!”
She strums her guitar, releasing ear-piercing noise.
“Another angel? I thought Redgrave only had one angel.”
“Sandalphon… Was never suited to anyone in the family. That’s why it was sealed away. It is an angel ability that can be used if the user isn’t compatible. If the ability was used by an incompatible user, the user will suffer internally. Mind breaking and having an incurable disease is one of the common side effects. Worst would be death.”
“That means Audrey was compatible with Saldalphon.”
“That was likely the case… Sandalphon is one of the most brutal angels. The angel's ability itself was to dismantle and cleave. Fitting for a psychopathic killer like her.” Olivia said.
Viola, who never showed emotion, smiled. Her smile reached her ears. Looking so evil it scared Olivia a little.
“Hehehehe… An angel chose Audrey… That gives me relief. Audrey was truly a chosen one. An angel who will lead us to the new world. The world princess Noah has envisioned. Now, all I have to do is wipe out those people in my way. Kill all of you in this death game!”
Viola charges at a greater speed than before. The astonishing speed was so fast that she could not be seen with the naked eye. Leona used her animal sensing to locate Viola and responded to her immediately.
“Dynamic punch!”
A huge explosion followed the punch, but it didn’t hit anyone. Above Leona, Viola stepped on her head, using her as a stepping stone going toward Olivia.
“You’re going to be skewered… Meteor Thrust!”
“Gabriel!”
The super sound was released. The force blows Viola away.
“That was powerful, Milady.”
“I apologize for you also getting hit by my attack.”
“Don’t worry about my life… Ever since I became your servant. My life is entirely yours to use. I won’t have any hard feelings about how you're going to use me as a pawn.”
Leona might see herself as a pawn, but that wasn’t the case for Olivia. To Olivia, Leona was a precious servant who served her the longest. She was also one of the first supporters who supported her in her dream of being a great musician.
There is no way Olivia will view Leona as someone lower than her.
She walked to Leona and chopped Leona’s head not so hard. Chopping just to make some sense in Leona.
“There is no way, I’ll see you as my pawn… Leona is my first fan. I’d be sad if I lost you.”
“Milady… You sure are the cutest thing ever.”
“Don’t flutter me suddenly… I’ll finish this traitor immediately. Gabriel is not just sound magic… Gabriel's true ability was this…”
Olivia strums her guitar in melody. Unlike the first where she is just strumming the guitar without any song in her mind. While playing her guitar, the girl with the rapier was standing up from her fall.
She was standing like there were strings attached to her limbs. Moving like some kind of puppet.
“What is this? My body is moving on its own.”
“This is Angel Gabriel’s true ability. It could control other people’s bodies while listening to my melody. The ability also has its extension. After hearing my melody, I was able to manipulate you via hypnotism. The traitor will go betray your party. You’ll side with us for a while, Viola.”
Olivia said.
After her words, the light in Viola’s eyes vanished. She was fully under Olivia’s control.
