Jeanne was quite shocked when everyone lost to the Archangels and couldn't land a single hit on them. Although they were called Demon Lords, they were nothing like one because they had divine power inside, and they were strong enough to be able to fight a God. Not to mention, those two were invincible and weren't affected by physical attacks or magical attacks.
"Jeanne, they're all yours... We can't fight them anymore," Rozan said as he retrieved the others' bodies before the Archangels kill them.
Jeanne nodded her head with understanding and looking at how powerful those two were, she decided to use [Caelestikinesis] skill to avoid unnecessary damage. She looked at all the skills Michael and Gabriel possessed through her skill, and saw [Divine Spirit]. That was the reason why Rozan and the others couldn't land a single hit on them because they were spirits who didn't have physical bodies.
She sealed all the divine powers inside them so she could fight them easily. She wasn't like Aurea who would fight them head-on and ignore her surroundings.
As soon as she sealed all their divine powers, both of their bodies turned into ashes and it surprised Jeanne and Rozan. They thought it was over until the ashes that were blown by the wind decided to gather around and started to form two bodies. It shocked Jeanne and Rozan when the Archangels turned into demon-like forms with six black feathered wings on their backs and long cloaks that made them look like grim reapers.
Jeanne's [Caelestikinesis] skill was still active, but she couldn't sense any divine power inside them anymore. They had turned themselves into Demon Lords in name, power, and appearance. They no longer had muscular bodies and white skin as clouds, they had skeleton bodies and changed their weapons into giant scythes.
"What the fuck is that? Did you just activate phase two?" Rozan asked as he protected everyone with wind and water barriers.
"Who knows, but it looks like the destruction of District 13 is inevitable," Jeanne swung her sword around and spread her wings.
Jeanne flew toward them and started clashing her sword with both of them. The battle was so fierce that Rozan couldn't see anything but afterimages of them in the air. The shockwaves and the projectile attacks that hit the barrier made him terrified because he could die if he got hit by those.
Jeanne's attacks could hurt them since her sword was similar to the Soul Catcher Sword. Since she knew how to create it based on Hanessi's knowledge inside her head, she turned the sword using her [Creator] skill. Her sword could cut the physical body and the soul at her will and she was the only one who could hold it.
Mykel and Luciel were watching Jeanne's battle. They were interested in how Jeanne was going to deal with the strongest beings that Hanessi and his siblings had created dealt with.
Michael and Gabriel weren't created by Lucifer because he couldn't create something divine like them with his power. They were created by Hanessi and his siblings to protect the gate to Empyrean World. They were the protectors of heaven and would kill the Babylonians that tried to climb the Babel Tower if they weren't worthy.
Those two had never left the gate since it was their only duty. In the big war, they both killed every single demon that tried to enter the Empyrean World through the Babel Tower. Only those who had wings could enter the Empyrean World without having to use the Babel Tower.
After the war was over, Lucifer looked at the piles of dead bodies at the base of the Babel Tower. He flew up and saw each floor was filled with dead bodies that made him unable to move freely. As soon as he reached the top, he looked at Michael and Gabriel standing tall and protected by the gate without a single wound on their bodies.
With Lucifer's power, he turned them into Demon Lords and took them to his side, but he kept their roles as the protector of heaven. Although they were turned into demons, their divine power managed to overwhelm the demonic power and maintained their power and appearance.
"Whoever tries to pass the gate shall be exterminated," Luciel said as she sat on top of the table.
"Can we play with them?" Aurea asked and looked at Luciel.
Luciel glanced at all her sisters that had been gathered in Mykel's office. "No, you will lose," Luciel answered. "Where do you think Zasalamel's power came from? My father replicated it from those two. Every demon would die in a single attack from them," Luciel pointed out.
"So why are we gathered here?" Beldathiel asked and looked at Mykel.
"Just in case the Fraternity Association managed to kill the Demon Lords, you guys are going to kill them. But since that might not be the case here, let's just enjoy the show from here," Mykel answered activated [Nigh-Omnipotence] skill, and made his whole office into a giant screen so they could see what happened in all Districts.
Jeanne killed both of them, but she was surprised by how agile their movements were and how they attacked after one and another made her hard to dodge. She got a few hits on her body, and it was quite a sting, but it disappeared after she regenerated the wounds.
"The city is totally a mess now... I should apologize later," Jeanne looked at the buildings that got cut in halves and the roads that crumbled into the lake because of her fight with the Archangels.
"Did you kill them?" Rozan asked as he walked with the others to approach Jeanne.
"I did, but it's a mess here. Can you try and rebuild the buildings here with your magic?" Jeanne asked.
"I could, but what's the point of doing that if they have insurance? It's better to leave it be so they can rebuild their houses and get their stuff back with the money," Rozan answered.
"Right. Let's go and check the borders in Districts One and Six. If all the Demon Lords came from the ninetieth floors, they won't be able to kill them," Jeanne said as she looked at everyone.
They all nodded and flew with Rozan's magic.
(An hour earlier)
Asmond and Arum were standing by in District 2 in front of the Abaddon Tower. The soldiers were prepared with Blessed Tungsten Steel bullets inside their guns. It should be easy for them to deal with the demons that would come out of the tower with those.
"I wonder if Rufus will come to help us," Arum said as she looked around.
"I don't think he would, but there's no reason to not hope for it. I'm worried that he got brainwashed by those demons because we are out of their league. It would be bad if they did," Asmond replied as he gripped his sword so tightly. "People had questioned about his whereabouts, so it's only about time until they realized something is off," Asmond continued.
"What are we going to do if they started asking questions?" Arum asked.
"I don't know. Let's think about it once the breakout is over," Asmond answered, and then the sky turned dark red. "It's coming, get ready," Asmond readied his stance and took a deep breath as he looked at the gate.
Everyone held their breath and as soon as the gate was open, the whole area around the tower got frozen, even the walls and the ground. Asmond looked at the ground in front of him that had gotten frozen. He then stabbed the ice before it could travel to him and the soldiers behind him.
It was hard to break, but he managed to crack it and destroy the ice to stop it from advancing. The ice that covered the ground suddenly stopped advancing because of him, and then they all saw a demon riding a horse standing in front of the tower.
"Another Demon Lord..." Arum said quietly.
"Fire!" Asmond pointed his sword at the Demon Lord.
hundreds of bullets were flying toward the Demon Lord, but then the Demon Lord pointed his hand and opened it. They were shocked and terrified when the traveling bullets got stopped in mid-air. It wasn't stopped by an unknown force, but they were frozen by the Demon Lord's power, and then they all fell down.
"This doesn't look good," Asmond clenched his fists and stared at the Demon Lord that wore a dark blue cloak and covered everything except his white-blueish hands.
