Chapter 20 - 020. Caught Death handedly

"h—huh??? Wh—what are you t—talking about?" Seed stammered, sweat appearing on his face as his eyes darted around the room as if he was preparing to run away.

The Boss rose from his desk, his muscle-bound frame looking even bigger now, His white beard cascaded over his gray suit. His jet-black eyes locking in on Seed as He clapped a heavy hand on Seed's shoulder and said;

"Calm down, boy,"

"W—wait, I swear it's not what you're thinking, I just—"

Whoosh!

the air around them thickened, seed felt an energy penetrate from the boss's hand into his body, at first it felt sharp and stung alot but after a while he felt a wave of relief in his body. As his days of stress just got lifted off his shoulder.

[Sitgima to Divinity Is resisting divine energy...]

[Failed to resist divine energy...]

[Corruption reduced to:13%>>> 5%]

"There we go" The boss said, as he leaned again his office desk and sat on it."hah!, I don't know what you thought I was going to do to you but don't piss your pants in my office, boy".

Mira and Cassie tried to hold their laugh but it leaked a little while Pedro just stood there looking smug.

"What did you do....boss?" Seed asked, looking at the boss while feeling his body and wondering why he feels so light.

"I just 'Blessed' you,I felt a lot of death energy in you. That sort of thing corrupts the soul, you know?. I don't know how that much seeped into you" the boss replied.

"Oh, I see" seed said scratching his head, he got 'blessed'? that would explain why the system tried to resist a divine energy and why his corruption reduced.

"Well, Anyways, let's move over to the next person, you!" The Boss said pointing at mira.

"Your problem is way more trickier to deal with, concerning it's a literal angel involved." The air in the room thickened, Cassie and Pedro having on serious looks on their face now.

"Well, let's get started" the boss said waving his hand in the air in a cross like manner. This time seed could see a distinct cross-like mark on his palms, glowing a golden light. And just as the boss was done waving the space in the room started warping.

And just like that it felt like they were teleported to another space. The only thing remaining of the office were the seats that Mira and seed were sitting on. A plain grass field had replaced their surrounding, it felt endless at whichever direction you looked and it the air hung no sun but weirdly enough the whole place was light as if it was the peak of a sunny afternoon.

"Pedro, Cassie." The Boss called out, walking over to Mira and offering his hand to her to help her off her seat. Surprisinly she took his hand and stood up, with no resistance whatsoever.

Pedro made some weird ninja-like symbols with his hand and a figure emerged from his shadows, sharing the exact same resemblance with him. 'so that was what it was at the park'. Seed thought to himself remembering his first encounter with Pedro.

The two Pedro's drew a sort of magic circle on the ground whole Cassie etched her paper talisman and various parts of the circle.

The Boss left Mira to the center of the circle, with her halo flickering as usual.

"Just endure it for a bit, girl. This is for us to see what exactly we're up against." The Boss said to Mira as he stepped out of the circle, leaving on her within it.

"Alright Cassie, Do it". The boss said.

After receiving the instruction to commence, Cassie held a talisman to her face and started chanting in Latin.

{{ By the power of the hidden stars,

By the breath that names the nameless,

Light of Raziel, Keeper of Secrets,

Whisper what the blind cannot see.}}

WHOOSH!!!

Pillars of light erupted from the talismans, shooting skyward like golden spears. Mira gasped, her body lifting off the ground, hovering a foot above the grass.

"ARGGHHHHHH!!!!"

Her scream tore through the air as her halo blazed brighter than Seed had ever seen. Her black wings unfurled violently, spreading wide, each feather edged with a faint shine of light. Her pink eyes burned into a white glow and her body shook violently.

Dark smoke poured from her chest, curling upward, It twisted, forming a humanoid shape above her. A towering figure, six wings sprouting from its back, each flapping so strongly that it shook the grass.

A second halo spun above it, larger, brighter, pulsing with a mix of holy light and something darker.

The figure's face was blurred, Mira's screams grew louder, her wings trembling as the smoke tightened around her like chains.

Seed's heart pounded as he witnessed the scene unfold.

"Oh my fucking God,"
