Chapter 264 – To Force Him To Play His Cards
Mykael smirked, these humans and demons were smarter than they looked, it wasn't the bandage itself that served to differentiate them but the way the bands had been crisscrossed around their wrists.
He signaled to Liam that they could go now, and he couldn't help but be excited about this fight, it was going to be the first time he really fought with only 10% of his powers and he couldn't wait to see what he was capable of doing with that strength.
Liam then opened the portal and Mykael went through it first, followed closely by Axel and he crossed it last, closing it behind him.
When they arrived on the other side it was total chaos, fights were breaking out everywhere, the smell of blood permeated the air and shouts and orders were heard from all sides.
Solomon, Kerry and Derek quickly appeared near them and Derek immediately said to Liam : "I'm glad you came, a little help is welcome, as you can see our pseudo King has decided to get rid of the rebellion and he is intensifying the fights."
Liam then replied with a smirk : "Next time don't hesitate to tell us, use the comunication stones we'll come as soon as possible."
Solomon then held out his hand to Axel and said to him : "Good to see you, how is Kevin ?"
Axel laughed and said : "He's going to regret missing this."
He turned to his father and said : "Let's get this over with quickly !"
Mykael said to him as his eyes turned crimson red : "Follow me son, we will take care of these 3 generals first, without them their soldiers will be destabilized and the battle will take a whole new turn."
He turned to Solomon and said : "When the time comes, show me that you are worthy to be the leader of this rebellion."
Solomon hadn't forgotten Kevin's words, and even without the terrifying aura that this man gave off, just from the resemblance he had to Axel, he knew that he was without a doubt the God of Destruction.
So he bowed his head respectfully and clenched his fists, vowing to live up to his expectations, having a God on their side was a chance he couldn't afford to lose.
Mykael smirked seeing him reacting like this, this demon wanted to protect his people against the oppression of their King and he didn't hesitate to get involved himself in the fight, indeed he had the makings of a true leader.
He then said to Axel frowning : "These 3 generals might cause you some problems with your current power, use my bloodline, 10 minutes should be enough for us to finish them off."
Axel followed his father's advice and combined his two bloodlines, he immediately concentrated on the 3 most powerful auras that were in front of them and he smirked when he saw that he could differentiate their levels.
Of course it wasn't as precise as Kevin's system, but he could feel the difference in their levels and if the goal was to destabilize them, then he might as well start with the most powerful one.
Axel didn't wait for his father's green light, and he took out his artifacts sword, it was probably the last time he was using it because his father had offered them much better weapons, only, last night they hadn't bothered to choose new ones believing that they would have plenty of time to choose them later.
He promised himself that as soon as the opportunity arose he would return to the dimension and select weapons not only for him but for everyone.
And as he rushed toward his first prey, as expected he heard his father's laughter as he said to him : "So impatient son."
Axel didn't say anything and he stayed focus, like his father had just reminded him, he could only use his two bloodlines together for 10 minutes so there wasn't a second to waste.
They slipped through the enemy lines without difficulty thanks to their speed and they took advantage of it to kill the demons that were in their path.
Mykael intended to let Axel fight, but the closer they got to these generals, the more he sensed that something was wrong.
When Axel stopped in front of the first general who had the strongest aura of the three, he asked his son with a frown : "Do you see what I see ?"
Axel said to him : "If you talk about that black aura around him then yes I can see it, and that's signed Lilith's black magic pills.
Those pills increase temporarily the levels of the one who takes them, too bad Kev isn't here, we could have learned more about this general."
Mykael smirked and said to him : "Interesting … I will let you finish him off and I will give you advice if you need it."
The general who was facing them then sneered and said : "Why are humans meddling in the affairs of demons, you shlould go back to where you come from before it's too late, you're not strong enough to fight us."
Mykael frowned again, he knew his power had been reduced to 10% but still, this demon was a little too confident for his liking.
He said in a voice that was almost inaudible so that Axel was the only one to hear him : "Be careful son, he must be hiding something, if you ever feel or see anything fishy use the dimension to come back here."
He saw Axel nod his head imperceptibly and when he rushed at full speed against this general because it was still the best solution to force him to play his cards, he saw the latter's smile widen and he knew right away that there was a problem with him.
When Axel was about to hit him with his sword this general didn't even move and suddenly Axel found himself facing not 1 but 5 completely identical generals who easily blocked his attack and as they were about to hurt him, Axel teleported close to him as he had asked him to do.
He immediately said to him : "It's a special skill called demultiplication, they are all of the same level but all we have to do is kill the original one and the others will disappear too … Can you identify the original one ?"
Mykael obviously knew which one was the original but he wanted to see how Axel would handle this situation.
As he had told him before, he had brought him here with him because he still had a lot to learn and he needed to be able to represent Kevin when he wasn't available.
