Overlord and the Seraphim

『Loan Default II』

『Ice Shard』

『Divine Smite』

As the thugs began setting off their spells with loud casting through their voices and pointing their hands at him, Jack could only shake his head.

These attacks dissipated just before they could make any impact on him, their power nullified, as he already surpassed them in his own ability. He was immune to the spells under the seventh tier.

"Child's play..." Jack uttered as they kept going on and on. They were exhausting themselves mentally after thy had already been physically abused.

The people who had gone to the backyard, who ended up being about a little over a dozen people, came around the corners of the homes. "What's going on!?" They eyed all the dead people before looking to their colleagues who were casting low tier magic spells at Jack.

The attacks weren't working, but that didn't seem to deter them.

Jack sucked on his front teeth slightly before clicking his tongue slightly.

The apparent thug leader was grinding his teeth. He was half minded to leave his men to their fate and escape on his own. He turned his head to the side, looking at the front gates which felt so far away.

Jack could see the thoughts in the body-language he was sharing so blatantly.

With Arche standing behind him for safety, Jack would begin to advance towards the small group of mages who were sending multiple bolts of mystical attacks at him. Yet there was nothing they could do.

He didn't even have to spread his wings.

Jack would bring his hand towards his shoulder, as if readying to slap someone. As they were backing away the moment he had gotten within a few steps of them, he grinned and swiped his hand to the side.

Their colleagues who had yet to join them immediately, watched as the four magic casters lost their heads which bounced on the paved courtyard path.

They could only stand there and stare as their blood stained the stones and flowers, even the fountain with dark crimson. Jack hadn't even flinched at the sight. Watching as some of the bodies tried running away before practically tripping over themselves and meeting the ground, face down.

"One of us has to make it!" One of the dozen which were standing there, shouted mutedly amongst the rest. "We'll hold them off," he pointed towards what appeared to be the youngest one there. "Go tell the boss!"

Jack wasn't going to give them the chance to leave. There was no way he was going to let these people come back to try and collect them.

The man who was now giving the orders turned to look to Jack and the girl. Only to find the large frame of Jack obstructing his view. "Wh...What?" He looked up at Jack as he felt his hand around his throat, picking him up from the ground by a couple feet.

Everyone was in shock watching this.

Arche had her staff raised, glaring at the men.

『Magic Arrow』

She send a volley of magic arrows at one of the men who had gathered enough of his conscious to turn and run for the gate. The bolts ripped through his legs, sending him screaming to the ground.

Two of them quickly turned their attention towards her. Aiming their own hands towards the girl before a scream emitted from the man, ultimately distracting the remaining ten men!

『Devour』Was the spell that Jack chose to cast, and it began to crush the man, wrangling his body until there was silence. Now only he was nothing more than a cube of gelatin, sitting in Jack's hand, until Jack freely crushed and absorbed it.

Closing his eyes, for a few seconds as he felt the rush of knowledge go through his mind, he then opened his eyes. The men, now even more afraid began to all run away at once. Screaming for their lives.

Jack simply sighed, "How rude..." He muttered as he would pulled out what appeared to be a magic gun, a pistol in this case. Raising it, a soft 'pew' sound began to whisper from its barrel, bolts of magic ripping through a chest of the fleeing enemies with each shot.

One dropped, two dropped. He had no problem taking them out, they were weak. While it was somewhat of a disappointment, it simply meant that as long as he kept those he wanted to protect close to him, he'd be undeniably incapable of failing to protect.

Arche who was preparing to run after them, strode up beside him now as he had been walking after them. The way he moved, it was so cool and cold. He didn't hesitate to kill humans unaffiliated with the undead cult.

Not that she could blame him.

"Thank you..." She knew he had saved her again, like he had before. "For protecting us." Arche smiled up at him, brighter than she had ever done before in the presence of others.

Jack simply looked down at her, "You're mine, aren't you?" He leaned over and wrapped his arm around her, pulling at her lower back, dipping her back as he went to press his lips against hers.

She pressed a hand on his chest, trying to steady herself as she now stood on her toes. Returning the kiss without hesitation, her other hand wrapped around his neck, the staff horizontally still in her hand.
