Chapter 42: The Final Charge IV - The Holy Beast: Longinus!
"Samael! Behind you!" Death shot out.
"What?"
"LUCIFER!"
Too late…
The hands of the Dark Prince impaled through Samael's chest from his back. The Blood Prince's deep screams pierced through the shattered skies as the black smoke took shape to draw Samael's blood.
"Well done…you lots have fought long enough for me to take advantage of this situation…Thanks, you foolish imbeciles…"
A tall, muscular angel with red skin, long golden hair, and two ram-like horns materialised from the black smoke. He has gold-plated gauntlets around his bulging arms. He wore a red, scaly armor below his waist and a brown, tattered cloth around the armor. A huge scar with several branching blood veins rested across his muscular chest – a reminder of his rebellion against the Creator Samsarel.
His eyes, though yellow, glinted with sinister intent. He wore a black scaly strap around his chest, and has two dark and majestic demonic wings with veins upon each of them.
The Dark Angel exuded a sense of grandeur – twisted grandeur. One look and one could see the twisted light of the demon itself; an angel, corrupted by darkness, jealousy, and weak of self-will.
Lucifer…
"Ah...You fools have perfectly fallen into my plans. Although I have to admit...the both of you can work perfectly with the Four in weakening the Blood Prince. I'm surprised..." Lucifer smirked as he clapped his hands slowly.
"So you...you have been watching and planning the whole time to take Samael by the back? All while he is defenseless?" Chris frowned.
"Hahaha...Do you think I am going to let the opportunity slip by, when this wretched Blood Prince had turned on me and the Destroyer once? Now that the Blood Prince's immense power is within my body, Heaven is mine! Earth shall be mine!" Lucifer snickered.
"You dishonorable bastard..." Chris frowned.
"The world is a dirty place to live, my darling...Always have someone else do the dirty work for you, don't your parents told you when you're young?" Lucifer cackled.
"The Dark One...We know it will be a matter of time before we will fight you - the Prime Evil - to determine the ultimate fate of the universe..." Death frowned.
"Oh really? What good are the Humans anyway? They are nothing but creatures to be trampled upon, for demons to inflict fear upon!" Lucifer smirked.
"At least Samael is more honorable than you despite his demonic heritage! Sure, he might be cunning, but at least he is able to acknowledge our strengths! You who knows no honor...is a disgrace to every living being!" Chris frowned.
"Then what about the humans I wanted to take over? They themselves will not rule over Earth, only I can! Only I, the holiest of the holy, can guard and rule over the sacredness that is Earth, and not those humans that are cunning without the power to do it! It's sad really, that Samsarel failed to notice it and has to cast me to Hell with Lilith..." Lucifer frowned.
"You told Lilith to kill Chris, Alito, and I if we know about Corruption's origins...That means you have a role in this?" Death frowned, veins bulging from his knuckles.
Lucifer laughed. "I might as well say it, since you lots won't be here long to hear it anyways! Those weak and pathetic humans are the source of the Nephilims' bane; chased into exile by the Charred Council. I was extremely angry that the Council would exile our precious, rightful sons and daughters of Eden out!"
"So you and Lilith went against Heaven, go against Samsareal's rule, failed, and were brought down to Hell. From there, you asked Lilith to devise a plan - inciting all but four Nephilims' rage when they were exiled from Eden and thus reversing their roles from defenders against darkness, to servants of darkness! After Absalom's death, you commanded Lilith to create Corruption in the hopes that she will tap into Death's unfounded guilt should he arrive on the Black Stone to ask for your bride's help in reviving the Nephilims!" Chris frowned.
"Wait, what? How is it...you know about Lucifer's rebellion?" Death frowned.
"Lucifer, back in my world's tales and myths from documentary sources, was an angel hell-bent on rebelling against God because he hates and resents humans. I am not surprised if this dimension's Lucifer is the same, with Nephilims and Lilith thrown into the mix!" Chris nodded.
The Dark Prince clapped his hands once more...
"Brilliant...such intelligence from humans..."
His eyes then glowed red with hatred as a burst of dark aura surrounded him; electrical energy fuelled his hate for humanity even more.
"That intelligence of yours is precisely what makes me hate Humanity in the first place!" Lucifer roared.
"What makes you think I am even a human in the first place?" Chris frowned.
"Don't try to deny it! There is still that stench of hope and humanity right beneath that chest of what humans used to say...'heart'! It disgusts me; why are you humans the one who rule the Third Kingdom when we angels could have rule over Creation in the first place!" the Dark Prince shot back.
"I am curious about the meaning of Humanity...Alito and I have forsaken Humanity in the name of grief and sorrow, but now we are determined to find the true meaning and regain it!" Chris replied.
"Besides... she and Alito have our support as well." Death stood in front, wielding his Harvestor.
"Say what you want about humanity...at least they ain't disgusting and hopeless unlike you!" Fury snarled.
"Nephilims' main aim are to fight against the darkness...but you and Lilith took it upon yourselves as some sort of mockery and reverse their role to that of chaos, corruption, and destruction!" Strife followed.
"Nothing is worse than betraying yourself, Lucifer...You had dishonored yourselves from the beginning of the Charred Council's prediction!" War bellowed.
"The Charred Council knows nothing! I too exist at a time before the Charred Council, along with the likes of Raciel and Hadrimon! What makes them think the Councils know better? Just because that damn Creator alone creates them, is it?" Lucifer questioned with hateful intent, his neck bulges with veins of hatred as the aura of darkness slowly became dense and thick.
"At least the Council was right for once. Humans are part of the Balance; without them, this Earth will crumble. It is only when innocent beings started getting killed left and right for no adequate reason that we start to question ourselves...is this really the Balance we are striving for? We couldn't question the Council of course, since we are still bound to their laws." Death frowned, took a deep breath, and continued.
"It is only during my journey to rescue War, did I finally realize that I had enough when the Council did not even address the one that would kill us all - Corruption. Besides that, Chris and Alito taught me to respect humanity as well...because they have something that we Four Horsemen did not have at first!" the Pale Rider turned to face Chris and Alito.
"The first meaning of Humanity...Chris and Alito...is what we have just known - Choice! Humans make a choice when they are presented with adversities! Chris and Alito, both of you would have just sat on one side and wallow in self-pity, but you made a choice! You have the freedom to choose between the path to self-destruction, or the path to redemption. You choose the latter...and you did it not only for your parents...but also for yourselves! You hope that one day that pain, that thorn that stabbed your heart like a huge wooden stake, will dissolve into nothingness as you both start anew." Death frowned.
"You could have chosen the path of destruction and people will not stop you! It is your choice after all, but why did you not take it? Because you know, you choose, that it is about time you stand up for your own values and fight like a true warrior, honoring your values from the day you resolve to help innocent beings!" War frowned.
"All these talks about honor, sacrifice, and choice mean nothing in the realm of demons!" Lucifer bellowed.
"Angels and Demons have fought for far too long, and humans cannot go without a day or week in peace! Even during those 'truce' that you mentioned, there will be angels and demons that will still fight each other, inflicting pain and misery upon people apart from the mistakes they created; all the battle against demons and angels, just for the rule of Earth!" Alito frowned.
"Humans themselves have always wanted peace, but heartless morons, terrorists, disasters, and the lots have terrorized them for far too long that we do not need the Angels or Demons to fuck up our lives even more! That is why Samsarel left Creation alone! He knew it was a hard choice and that many beings will question his decision, as you did. But he wanted humans to rule by themselves in hopes that one day, happiness will come to them!" Chris followed.
The Four, Chris, and Alito pointed their weapons towards the Dark Prince, shouting, "It is the Creator's choice, and that we shall respect!"
Lucifer could feel blood boiling through his veins; pride had clouded his sense of judgement, giving way to hatred beneath the shadows.
"The Creator...everything that you said is about the Creator! I will prove that the Creator is weak compared to the likes of me, now that I have the Blood Prince's power!" Lucifer roared as huge torrents of light and dark surrounded him, transforming the Dark Prince into an androgynous angelic demon with two huge blue wings - one with a wing of an angel, and a bony wing of a devil on another.
The angelic-demon hybrid had four ram-like horns, long blue hair ranging from light to dark, blue arcane lines spreading through his body, four mini demonic and angelic wings grew out behind his ears, and strips of black and white paper surrounded his bulky body.
His eyes glowed with white on the left, and black on the right. He wore golden gauntlet with wings on his left and demonic gauntlets with devil-like horns upon his right. The intricate blue tattoos spreading across his body glowed with twisted grandeur as a fur scarf materialised and wrapped softly around his neck.
"ALL WILL FEAR ME, FOR I WILL TURN THE WORLD THAT I HAVE SEEN, TO THE WAY THAT I WANT!" the new Lucifer roared.
"Lucifer!" Chris shot back.
"THAT LUCIFER THAT YOU CALLED UPON HAS BEEN GONE. FROM NOW ON, YOU WILL CALL ME AS THE HOLY BEAST - LONGINUS! THAT WORLD IN WHICH YOU STAND ON, THE ONE WHERE HUMANS LIVE...SHALL BE TURNED TO DUST!" Longinus materialised a long and powerful trident with jagged appearance. A halo materialised from his head - a crown of angelic wings and demonic wings.
"This is it...the Holy Beast - Longinus." Chris frowned.
"If we don't kill that sob, there will be no tomorrow!" Alito nodded.
"Whether Humanity will survive...shall be determined by this battle!" Death transformed into his Reaper Form.
War, Fury, and Strife transformed into their alternate form as well.
"We fight so that the mortals may live lives of their own; to protect the defenseless! With our newfound respect for Humanity...LONGUNUS, WE MUST DESTROY YOU!" the team shot out with gusto.
Morphology: Longinus
Type: Holy Beast of Evil
Elements: Light and Dark
Description: The twisted embodiment of light and dark, Longinus possessed the power to switch modes from Light (Blue) to Dark (Red), switching weakness along the way. His attack strategies will switch too. In Light Mode, his attacks lean towards physical, while in Dark Mode, his attacks lean towards Dark Magic. He can be extremely fast, so proceed with caution. You have come thus far; do not lose it.
Current Mode now: Light Mode
Weak to All elements except for Null Element and Holy Element
"TRY IF YOU DARE, WEAK AND PATHETIC FOOLS! DARKNESS TRINITY!"
Longinus swung his trident and unleashed three long and wide streams of darkness. The streams formed a huge triangle that unleashed further streams of darkness.
Chris and Alito, who were still in their new, yet unknown form that defeated Samael, took the lead and managed to barrel roll, side step, dived down, rose up, and manoeuvred their ways through the continuously streaming lasers.
"EAT THIS!" Chris and Alito's eyes glowed, their fists glowed as they materialised huge, spectral blades to slice through the triangular portal. The portal dissipated with ease, but Longinus flew straight towards them, having anticipated the portal's demise.
"SAINTS FLARE!" Longinus roared as his Spear of Longinus burst in flames upon its tip.
"Try this on for size!"
Streams of Silver Bullets rained upon the wings of the Holy Beast, the immense impact pushed the latter into the far end. The frustrated beast looked up and cracked his knuckles; Strife had interfered.
"How's that for a brotherhood, Longinus? Would you like a Burst of Flavours next?" Strife taunted.
Chris and Alito's eyes flared up once more and clenched their fists.
"This time...WE WILL WIN!" Chris and Alito teleported straight towards Longinus as both sides traded spear swings, punches, slashes, and kicks. Neither side wanted to let way - the battle had so much at stakes that neither one wanted to give up.
One wanted to prove that the strong would triumph over the weak, and that imperfection brought nothing to Earth.
Another wanting to prove that Humanity deserved no one to rule over them and that Humanity could find themselves on their own feet, even if the person carrying that belief still does not know much about Humanity yet.
"WHY? WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO PROTECT SOMETHING THAT YOU HAVE FORSAKEN?" Longinus shot out as he blocked several punches from Chris and Alito and managed to inflict injuries upon their chests and arms.
"It is to honor our parents, our forefathers, and everything they have done that are bound within the Last Will of the Fuschias!" Both women shot out and stood their ground as they clashed their gauntlets against Longinus's Spear, striking the Holy Beast's arms and limbs in the process.
"We could have done the opposite and wallow in self-pity, but never! We will fight to be true to ourselves! We will fight so that mortals may live to see another day! We fight to protect those who cannot protect themselves against those heartless morons as you do! We fight so that we could see a future...WHERE WE CAN UNDERSTAND THE TRUE MEANING OF HUMANITY!" both women shot out in unison as they charged their elemental punches for a full-on mega punch that vibrated the Spear of Longinus, releasing a huge elemental blast in the process. Chris and Alito's gauntlets let out steam as they entered Cooldown Mode after unleashing the shockwave.
The elemental blasts were too much for the Holy Beast of Evil to take as he was in Light Mode. Longinus keeled as a result but before he could react, Death slashed across the Holy Beast's chest with Harvestor. Blast after blast of icicle energy arcs struck, sliced, and tore through the elementally vulnerable body of the ultimate devil.
War quickly flew through and slashed Longinus's back with his Neo-Chaoseater. The red Rider's Chaos Form then impaled the long, jagged blade into the Devil's back and unleashing a powerful blast of arcane fire that seared through the body.
Fury's Hellfire Mode quickly whipped the Holy Beast of Evil with her dual Inferno Rage, bringing the beast upon the ground with a quick slash.
Despite entering cooldown mode, Chris and Alito managed to combine their ice and wind arcane shots and unleashing a torrential blizzard towards the Holy Beast.
"I thought your Cooldown Mode..." Strife wondered.
"In this mode, we can deliver light and speedy attacks. We can't exert a huge surge of elemental energy above 500 bars, however." Chris frowned.
A huge burst of arcane energy rippled through the skies, pushing the six members back.
"THAT DETERMINATION OF YOURS DISGUSTS ME! METAMORPHOSIS!" Longinus roared as he raised his Spear of Longinus, gathered loads of arcane energy, and covered himself in a flash of white light. When the light faded, his intricate tattoos were red, his hair, the Spear of Longinus, and his wings became red.
Longinus's Mode Change - Dark Mode (Red)
Resistant towards Elemental attacks.
Chris and Alito's gauntlets charged up once more, glowing with passion to forward their goals against all odds.
"Sunder: Salvation Blasts!"
Chris and Alito unleashed flurries of Salvation blasts towards the Holy Beast, who widened his eyes and promptly dodged the raining shots.
"HOW IS IT YOU'RE ABLE TO UNLEASH AN ANGELIC WEAPON?" Longinus frowned.
"Downloading weapons data from the angelic weapon Sunder that Uriel gave us! Surprised? Because that's how we adapt!" Chris frowned as she imbued her arms with the Holy Light of Sunder's downloaded ability. Alito followed along as the two women charged forth, with the Four Horsemen following behind because they knew that their elemental attacks were useless.
Longinus teleported behind Chris and Alito and kicked them just as they turned over. Chris and Alito quickly recovered with their Genesis Flight Systems and blitz towards Longinus, whose eyes widened and could only raise his Spear in time to block their attacks in response.
Knowing that Longinus was tempting Chris and Alito to unleash their Heavy Attack, the Pale Rider charged towards the Holy Beast's back and unleashed a powerful cleave with his Harvestor.
However, Longinus smirked and managed to teleport out of harms' way before the Harvestor could slice through his flesh. Chris managed to track Longinus's arcane energy signature quickly, flew up towards the skies with Alito, and clashed their Sunder-imbued fists with Longinus' Spear Dive.
The Holy Beast roared as he unleashed several arcane energy shots and commanded them to shoot at the two maidens. Chris and Alito promptly dispersed and dodged around the bullets, only to encounter Longinus appearing beside Chris.
Narrowly anticipating the Holy Beasts's place, Chris managed to parry Longinus's three-hit Tria attack, but it managed to pierce through the Icy Maiden's armor and inflicted wounds that were enough to blow her back.
Alito managed to catch Chris in time, just for Longinus to teleport towards the Maiden of Wind's back and unleashed five homing arc slashes made of poisonous darkness.
Knowing they could not avoid the attack altogether, Chris and Alito gritted their teeth as they charged through the unavoidable attack and surprising Longinus.
"WHAT?" the Holy Beast's eyes widened.
"EAT PEA!" Chris and Alito shot out as they drove their fists deep down the Holy Beast's belly and unleashed a huge burst of holy shockwave that pierced through his back.
Both Chris and Alito unleashed twenty orbs of light that came from Sunder's Shielding ability altogether and commanded them to rain streams of holy light upon Longinus, ending with the light orbs raining down and sending the Holy Beast down to an invisible plane three kilometres down.
The Holy Beast quickly recovered and flew backwards to stabilize himself, but Death appeared behind him. Longinus managed to turn around and quickly clashed his legs with Death's Harvestor, pushing the Pale Rider back few spaces.
The Holy Beast used his palms and formed the symbol of a five-point star, with a pentagonal center and a circle surrounding the star itself.
"DEATH SHALL CURE YOUR SOUL!"
With each slashing motion of the Longinus, the slash arcs that passed through the Star of Lucifer branched to build a powerful dome-shaped prison to cage in himself, the Four Horsemen, and the maidens themselves.
"OBLIVION OBLITERATION!"
Streams of light and dark began shooting out of the cages interior itself, forcing Chris, Alito, Death, War, Fury and Strife to deflect the lasers.
Longinus smirked; for he believed that he would tire them out and move in for an easy kill. However, Chris and Alito's eyes glowed with determination as their Operational Mode rallied them to release a huge burst of ice and wind to neutralize the barrage of lasers. Within seconds, the two Maidens teleported straight towards the Holy Beast and unleashed flurries of bullet punches towards Lucifer's skull, horns, chest, and even his arms.
Burst of holy energy pierced through every bones and nerve endings of Longinus's body, and each blow cracked the skulls and bones of the places Longinus were hit. Despite being able to land a few hit upon Chris and Alito's body while the clashes of attacks went on, Longinus was met with only blows of fiercer intensities from Chris and Alito, further aggravating his wounds.
War, taking advantage of Longinus's interrupted attack powered down from his Chaos Mode, joined in the fray, slashing Longinus's wings hard and bringing him to the ground. The Red Rider plunged his Armageddon Blade on the ground, releasing a huge geyser of blades that erupted from the ground and impaled Longinus through his body.
The Holy east roared, forcefully broke the Geyser Blades with his bare hands despite the damage, and unleashed flurries of slashes towards the Red Rider. War managed to cover his Abyssal Armor in a skin that looked like molten lava, braved the attack, and land in a few sweeping slashes with his Armageddon Blade. He even threw in a powerful uppercut slash and a flipsaw attack for good measure.
The clashes in their attack blew both parties back, where Strife appeared behind the Holy Beast of Evil and unleashed bolts of holy bullets with Punishment.
Resisting the pain, Longinus grabbed Strife by his hands, kicked the Rider of the White Horse, and slashed him once with the Spear. However, before Longinus could get another slash, Strife quickly recovered his footing, grabbed the former by his legs, and swiftly released a powerful right hook towards him. As the attack connected, the mini guns that extended upon his fingers unleashed small but concentrated blasts of energies that sent Lucifer flying towards the other side of the caged arena - North.
Chris and Alito teleported in front of Longinus, delivered a swift uppercut upon his chin, and sent him flying towards Fury, who was standing in South. The Rider of the Black Horse drew out her Talon Claws and began slashing Longinus with all her might.
The Holy Beast's eyes glowed and punched Fury in the face that sent her flying. Longinus grabbed Fury as they tumbled across the floor, but the latter kicked the former in the shins. Fury gained the advantage, grabbed Longinus by his hands, and pinned down the Holy Beast.
"CHRIS! ALITO! ALL YOU!" Fury shot out as she quickly did an acrobatic back flip just in time for Chris and Alito to descend upon the Holy Beast.
"The world has had enough of your constant inflicting of suffering and constant temptation!" Both Chris and Alito used their right and left fist respectively to punch Longinus hard on his skull repeatedly. The determination imbued upon their fists sent cracks upon the floor.
"This world has no need of higher beings to rule over humans; only beings who can guide humans!" Chris and Alito continued, but Longinus, enraged at their stubbornness, quickly stole a chance when Chris and Alito were about to draw their fists and punched the two Maidens straight in the face.
The Four Horsemen leapt in to help, but a huge burst of dark magic blasted the brotherhood away as he landed on top of Chris and Alito and started punching.
"YOU...YOU PUNY HUMANS ALWAYS DISGUST ME WITH YOUR SPEECH ABOUT FRIENDSHIP, ABOUT HOPE, ABOUT FAMILY, AND ABOUT LOVE, AS IF YOU KNOW IT ALL! HUMANS...THOSE PUNY HUMANS ARE NOT WORTHY!" Longinus screamed as he punched Chris and Alito with every bit of his godly strength, inflicting bruises and dents towards Chris and Alito's systems.
The two maidens, however, managed to bite through the pain to kick Longinus by his guts, and grabbed his face despite Longinus's best efforts to grab theirs with both hands.
"Your pride has blinded you; you will never get it!" Chris and Alito roared.
Longinus countered with a swift left kick, followed by another swift right kick by their chests. Alito was thrown towards the side, but she quickly recovered. Chris swiftly grabbed the Holy Beast's left leg and, along with Alito, delivered a hard and intense punch.
The force of the Maidens' punch threw the Holy Beast back few strides before he stopped himself on two feet. Longinus quickly got up from his setback, gathered a huge amount of darkness, and charged forth with a powerful left spear charge.
War and Death teleported right in front of Chris and Alito as they charged their left and right fists with intense arcane energy and clashed them with Longinus's spear. Death and War backed down just as Chris and Alito, with their Operational Mode still intact, delivered a collaboration hi-jump kick upon the Holy Beast's face.
A wave of intense pain rippled and shattered the sinews and muscles from Longinus's arms, to the entire body. The Holy Beast howled in pain as his screams shattered the skies, sending the battling demons into disarray and confusion at their leader's anguish.
Fury and Strife's collaboration Hellfire Bulletstorm did not help either, despite Longinus's resistance towards elemental attacks; the sheer attrition was far too much for him to take.
"Im...Impossible...Humans...your determination to protect humans...IMPOSSIBLE!" Longinus tried to get up, but collapsed once more.
Chris's fists began charging up with Arcana Ice once more as her determination fuelled her Project Tundra into insurmountable levels; the aura around her began crackling with electricity, and a huge torrential mini-blizzard surrounded her body.
"Yeah...sure, humans might be a dick towards one another...Rivalries between humans will always tear one another apart...There will be people who will think that they are right and the opposing team are wrong. There will always be betrayers in the world. There will always be imperfect beings in the world of the living. To you, humans are just beings that are not worthy of neither Eden nor Earth...but that's because you will never get it!" Chris delivered another swift right hook upon Longinus's face.
"Your pride has screwed you so hard up the arse that you failed to see that for every negatives you perceived...there will always be glimpses of kindness shared by humans, even if I am not human yet!" Chris delivered another left hook upon Longinus's left face.
"For each dick, there will be a friend!" Alito, too, joined in with a swift kick to Longinus's jaw.
"For each rivalry, there will be tears, comfort, friendship, and love!" Chris hammered Longinus head with her hammering fists.
"For each high and mighty extremists like you, there will be people who will respect and for people's opinions!" Death joined in with a powerful right slash across Longinus's chest and a kick in the guts.
"For each betrayer in the world, there will be people in which he or she can trust and honor!" War chimed in as he smashed Longinus's chest with the Tremor Gauntlet.
"For every imperfection in the world, there will be people who can tell them to strive on, but never to lose track about who they are!" Fury frowned as she tore inside Longinus's chest, ripped the skin apart while exposing the Holy Beast's flesh, and delivered a swift ankle kick upon his chin.
"And for every anger and tears a human shed...there will be joy and laughter - even if it is for sarcasm!" Strife frowned as he used Punishment to shoot Longinus with many bullets.
"NO...YOU WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND MY THOUGHTS!" Longinus screamed as he delivered left spear strike.
"Yeah? Then we rather not put ourselves in your shoes!" Chris shot back as she grabbed the Spear of Longinus with her right hand. Despite the searing arcane magic corroding her right hand, Chris's eyes and runic tattoos around her glowed intensely as she bended the spear with her bare hands. Chris then delivered another powerful icicle shockwave that sent the Holy Beast back a few more strides.
"Because we rather be someone who has flaws..." Chris and Alito began charging up another intense amount of arcane energy. Their Operational Mode reached maximum power as they charged towards the Holy Beast.
"THEN TO BE SOMEONE WHO VIEWS THEMSELVES AS THE PERFECT BEING WITH A SENSE OF TWISTED, DISGUSTING, HEARTLESS GRANDEUR, AND KILLING INNOCENT BEINGS ALL THE DAMN FUCKING TIME!"
The short, crisp, yet loud sound of ice and wind blasted through the skies. The sounds of rippling bones shattering riveted across the dark, cloudy atmosphere. The dark cage shattered and faded into the dust as all that remained of the delusional darkness, was the Holy Beast himself.
"This...this is not my destiny...I was destined to rule over the White City...Rule over Creation...Humans...You puny humans..." Longinus wailed as he stumbled back and forth, his body terminally damaged with the wounds and lacerations inflicted upon him.
"He will never get it...We might as well end his life once and for all. Besides...we have many Post-True Apocalypse matters to take care of..." Death frowned.
The Four Horsemen, Chris, and Alito raised their hands in the air as their auras merged together to form a white aura.
"This is not only for us...but this is for every single innocent being that lives in this planet! To protect the innocent beings while not losing ourselves at the same time...To protect the innocents without any compulsive rule from the angels and demons! We will...no...WE MUST DESTROY YOU! THAT IS WHAT WE STRIVE FOR! "
"FINALE METEOR: EXECUTIONER!"
The six members charged on forth, a burst of white aura flared up as they streak through the skies and collided with Longinus's body. A huge sphere of energy began expanding through the skies as the Hellguards and Demons cast their gaze upon the huge, arcane object.
Seconds later, the six members gave a short, sharp shout as they released their punches, unleashing a concentrated energy blast that seared through Longinus's body.
The Holy Beast roared and flailed as streams of light and dark erupted from his chest and exploded in a huge explosion of light and darkness. All that remained were the particles of both elements dancing around in the skies as the demons and angels widened their eyes as they looked upon the skies.
Uriel and the Hellguards gazed upon the scattered particles that surrounded the Four Horsemen, Chris, and Alito...
"It's over...It's finally over...Corruption is gone...Lucifer is done for...and Samael is gone..." Chris sighed and smiled wistfully.
"So humans...sure are different compared to demons and angels after all..."
Chris, Alito, and the Four Horsemen turned their backs in time and saw an angel's apparition. The apparition had angelic wings on his right, and demonic wings upon his left. He was carrying a lightning and electricity whip, with the Hellguard Armor that high-ranking angels like Archon Lucien wore. Dark gold highlights and tanned skin resided upon the left half of his body with a scarf wrapped around his neck.
His face has light wrinkles that made him look as senior as Abaddon, medium nose, small lips, and he has white hair, just like every other angel in the realm that had hair; it was common among angels.
"Samael? You lived?" War frowned.
"It is me...but not what you expect me to be..." the Blood Prince frowned.
"Nonsense...I thought your plan was to take over Lucifer to rule over the Dark One, but it seems even you fell to human beings; resilience...despite the fact that Chris and Alito will be questioning about the meaning of humanity again." the Crowfather teleported beside after witnessing Longinus's demise.
"Heh...Crowfather...even the most intelligent being chimed in too? I told you eons ago, but your impatience seemed to run out. I am still under the divine law...it's not as simple as you think." Samael frowned.
With the Holy Beast of Evil - Longinus destroyed...the Soul of Samael is freed.
However, what did Samael said when it is not what people expected it to be?
In addition, what did Samael meant when he said that he was still under the command of Samsarel despite being a fallen angel?
