White Online

''Go!'' Gabriel shouted and suddenly stepped to the side, circled around Ano and appeared behind him. He was shockingly fast!

He slashed the rapier towards Ano's back of the head. However, almost instantly, the crescent-shaped sword appeared and blocked the rapier's trajectory.

Zadkiel gritted his teeth and jumped over the vast army. He entered White Paradise and continued running away with gritted teeth.

Gabriel held the rapier in a gentle grip and suddenly tapped the ground lightly and smoothly moved to Ano's side. He then stabbed with the rapier, but it was again parried by the crescent-shaped sword.

Ano quickly used his nimble movements and slashed rapidly with his sword. Each slash was precise and had the clear intention of killing his opponent.

Gabriel knew he couldn't parry the attacks. He was a user of the rapier, and the crescent-shaped blade was much bigger and more durable. Thus, he used his quick movements and weaved through the slashes. Once arriving at close range, he pierced the rapier forward. It tore through the air and even the wind blew around the blade.

''Slow.'' Ano said and he slashed the crescent-shaped blade diagonally. It shredded through the air as it suddenly shoved the rapier to the side. The strength and speed were in a whole other league!

''Damn...'' Gabriel helplessly watched as his arm was slung to the side. It looked like everything he did was useless.

Then, Ano moved his blade into a thrusting stance. He lowered his stance and suddenly kicked the ground powerfully as he lunged forward with the sword piercing through the air.

Gabriel moved across the snowy ground, almost looking like his feet never touched the ground. He dodged the sword and then slashed with rapier as quickly as he could. The blade moved like flashes of afterimages as it approached Ano's face.

Ano's knees buckled as he suddenly ducked underneath the blade. His hair messily flew around him while his face still looked indifferent. He quickly jumped to his feet and slashed with his sword repeatedly. As the sword cut through empty air, it looked like slash-shaped lines appeared in the air.

Gabriel gritted his teeth and desperately moved out of the way. He managed to dodge the first row of slashes, but then, Ano picked up pace and released earth-shattering sword strike. The sword grazed past his face and struck the ground.

Boom!

This time a large crevice appeared in the ground, and this time it was at a length of thirty meters.

Gabriel grabbed the rapier's hilt tightly and moved his arm backward. Then, he started stabbing rapidly. The thin blade tore through the air hundreds of times in a matter of seconds.

Ano quickly placed the sword on the block. However, he couldn't dodge everything, and one of the rapier stabs went through his thigh, leaving behind a crimson bloody hole. He was slightly surprised, and his indifferent expression finally changed.

Gabriel's eyes widened, and he suddenly spun rapidly around, looking like a miniature whirlpool. Then, he kicked backward and slammed his foot deep into Ano's stomach. Everyone had a deafening ''crack'' sound and many shuddered after hearing it.

Ano gritted his teeth and suddenly knelt on the ground. The tiny piece of armory cracked underneath the kick and fell on the snowy ground.

The angels gripped their hands tightly and smiled brilliantly. It looked like Gabriel was winning!

The demons were shocked. This was not how it was supposed to go!

''Shit, let's go.'' A lesser demon whispered to his friend.

''Where?'' His friend whispered in confusion.

''While these fools fight, let's circle around the wall and break into the city from a blind spot. Then, we can have the first taste of fresh meat!''

''Oooh, good idea!''

They looked around and sneakily left the formation. No one noticed them as they hid in the darkness of the night.

''Whoo...'' Ano swiped his hair back, and his indifferent gaze was officially back. He stood up like he hadn't just been kicked by a back kick.

Gabriel wiped his sweat. He hadn't relaxed, even for a moment. He knew none of his attacks really did any damage to Ano. The stab wound had already healed, and the kick only struck his armory.

The demons' regenerative power was terrifying. That made them so difficult to beat.

''I shall make you the most beautiful flower.'' Ano said, and suddenly moved the crescent-shaped blade into a strange stance. The hand, holding the sword, was over his right shoulder and his muscles were tense, revealing the bulging muscles. The blade was aimed slightly downward.

'The most beautiful flower?' Gabriel frowned and wondered what the hell he meant by that.

''The Flower Maker!'' Ano shouted and suddenly appeared in front of Gabriel. No one managed to react to it. He then pierced the sword forward, and it tore straight through Gabriel's torso.

''Ptui!'' Gabriel coughed out blood and looked absolutely shocked. The blade was sticking through his body and he felt surprisingly warm and comfortable...

Ano's corner of lips slightly curled upward. The flower pattern again glowed in the blade, and it looked like he was trying to make Gabriel into another flower!

As the angels shouted in shock and the demons laughed, Gabriel shockingly wiped the blood off his lips and headbutted Ano across his face.

''?!'' Ano fell backward with his nose bleeding. He nimbly landed on his feet and slid backward another dozen meters before coming to a stop. He looked back at Gabriel, who was squirming in pain.

''God damn it!'' Gabriel shouted and looked at the large hole in his body. It was gushing with blood, and it looked like he was going to die.

''HEAL!'' He shouted, and suddenly twelve metal wings unfurled from his back. He had twelve wings, and they were even made of metal!

The wound in his chest suddenly closed, revealing unblemished skin without any scars or injuries.

''Aaaahhhh!'' He shouted loudly and as soon as the pain was gone, he swiped his hair back and spat out the rest of the blood out.

''What the hell are you?'' Ano asked with tilted head. ''Are you actually Archangel?''
