[180] Wait A Damn Minute...

Chapter 180: Wait A Damn Minute...

—

"So this leaves one person and two gears, huh," It's been half an hour, and we were done granting six of the girls six gears. I rubbed my chin as I looked at the remaining person, a shy fallen angel adorned in red.

She sat with her hands between her thighs and waited for me to make a decision. I pondered with a thoughtful look and then, before deciding, I took a look at everyone who just received their gear.

Ruby received Dimension Lost. The previous wielder was a mage too, so it'd suit her well. And I think she'll be able to do stuff like Obito from Naruto if I guide her.

I gave Variant Detonation to Tsubasa. It suited her since she fought with her fist, this would make it so that each of her punches turned into an explosion.

Next was Mem-Cho. Since she could create time bubbles, Phantom Projection went to her. The abilities were really similar, so receiving the gear should have immediately enhanced her powers more than ten times, I'm sure.

Irina received Blade Blacksmith. This ability was Unlimited Blade Works from the Fate Franchise with a different name, it suited her since she could make unlimited holy swords with it.

I recall Xenovia received all the Excalibur fragments back in the canon timeline, so the Excalibur ruler went to her this time around too.

That left Kalawarna and two gears. True Longinus and Caliburn; Sacred Gear wise, these two were both Top Grade. One was the strongest spear, and the other was the strongest sword. I don't want to give Caliburn away, I liked how it sliced through Surya. So that left True Longinus.

It's not a bad weapon for her. She's a fallen angel, someone who betrayed God, so to wield the spear that killed Jesus was history's way of repeating itself. Her current weapon was a spear too, so she wouldn't need to train on it separately.

But... I hummed. To give her such a powerful weapon when she has yet to do enough for me, would not be fair to others.

I allowed her to survive because I had plans to make my own angels, and as a fallen angel, she was the perfect guinea pig for that. That's what she was, a guinea pig. I did send her on some protection missions, to keep Ruby's group safe when they traveled to places, but other than that her contribution to the sect was not worth mentioning.

So did she deserve it?

I had no other person in mind who could use a spear, but I could teach them how to wield one. Rubbing my temple, I looked at her.

"Kalawarna, show me all your wings," I ordered and two black wings furled out of her back, scattering a few feathers across the room. I scowled, "Just two?"

Hearing my disappointed tone, she trembled in her spot. That made me grumble. She was the weakest member in the Sect right now; even Aunty Miyako knew some spells – I taught her – that would allow her to beat this weakling. Disappointing.

"I- I am sorry... I..." she lowered her head, trembling. Naturally, she was scared of me, which was good. But she needed to use that fear to strengthen herself, not cower away. Stupid bitch. "It's really... hard to grow as a fallen angel since God is dead and we abandoned the pure angels who hold the last legacy of God."

"Hard, but not impossible," I sighed. There was no point in being angry with her. "I will give you two months, you need to grow four extra pairs of wings by then. You'll need to have at least ten wings for you to be worthy."

Her eyes widened, "But it's not possible! I- I have been alive for centuries, yet unable to advance, how can I gain eight wings in two months?! In the month and a half that I've spent here training with those two," she looked at Irina and Xenovia, "I have almost reached a breakthrough to grow another pair of wings, but even that might take a whole year to fully complete!"
