『Assimilation』

Start from the beginning
                                    

Considering the situation, Jack was surprised he didn't raise his voice due to the angst he could see on his body language as Raymond stood there with his hands in front of him.

"Raymond was it?" Jack's eyes rested on the Cardinal with a dull tone, however he kept his peripheral vision on the encroaching Elf. "Worshipper to the God of Death..."

Raymond was a gasp at the fact that he knew who he was, having blinked a few times as he recited a little bit of information about him. Including his name and his idol of worship.

Jack's eyes then whisked over each Cardinal, reciting their names. "Berenice the Cardinal of Fire, Ginedine the Cardinal of Water, Dominic the Cardinal of Wind, Yvon the Cardinal of Light and Maximilian the Cardinal of Darkness."

He knew their positions due to the information he had received from devouring a Knight and a Commander from the Sunlit Scripture. He could only wonder what kind of information he would gain from devouring one of these individuals.

"I want to fight him! One on one!"

Jack's head turned to look at the Half-Elf who was grinning with this devious look on her face. She reminded him of a cat which was looking at her prey. To her, it appeared he was an oversized giant rat which could fight back against this house cat.

"..."

Turning to look over at the Captain, he seemed uncomfortable. Jack chuckled a little under his helmet, his voice desynchronized and overlapping.

"Don't laugh at me! For if I am stronger, I will wear your wings! And if you are stronger, I shall make you my husband with all my might!" Her wild eyes were wide and that smile looked as if it was about to swallow the world in hellfire.

Leaving after images as she moved towards him, he could hear the movement of her scythe. And just as she was a few meters away from him. Jack vanished, completely disappearing.

"Teleportation!?" She shouted as she instinctively swung, only for someone to grab the butt of her pole arm's shaft. She turned her head as she felt herself being thrown into the air.

As she rose in altitude, her eyes locked on Jack who was a couple feet above the ground, hovering. Using her martial arts skills, she launched herself down towards him. Her weapon drawn to the side in order to swipe the blade of the war scythe through him.

However as the blade was about to make contact with him, Jack caught the blade between two fingers. His hand was shaking as well as the weapon as she continued to push.

She was at most twenty levels under his current level, but his divine armor and items that he had equipped kept him well above her level in almost every aspect. Perhaps if she was further equipped with items, she could at least stand somewhat against him.

Of course though, he could definitely feel her immense strength.

"Sorry Kiddo," he had no idea how old she was by just looking at her. However his voice sounded rather friendly despite the overlap in his words. "But you're dealing with a buffed Eleventh Tier Angel from the Heavenly Counselors."

According to the knowledge of the Slane Theocracy, the Dominion Authority which was the seventh tier summon originally given to Nigun, was supposed to be the strongest Angel.

"You have only met the Second Sphere," Jack's hand stopped shaking as he held the blade and started to spin the weapon over his head. He hadn't even lifted his own in the process. It was similar to watching a cat flying around a room with their tail tied onto a ceiling fan. Then when he finally let go, the Half-Elf would be thrown directly into the Black Scripture Captain and the rest of her colleagues.
