The Second Incarnation of the God of Creation

Invasion: Beginning of massacre! (3/3)

Within the garden of the royal palace filled with the lush greenery of the plants and bushes a heavy atmosphere currently filled the surroundings. Matthew and Alister both raised their guards as they prepared for battle.

Matthew's eyes flashed with heavy killing intent as he held his hand upwards, the rays of the golden sun reflected off the surface of the blade.

"Oya, that's a lot of killing intent you have there. Do you mind telling me why your so worked up over something that happened roughly three hundred years ago?"

Alister asked, curiously. However, contrary to his relaxed attitude his deep red eyes were also flashing with killing intent no weaker than Matthew.

Was it hate because of what happened between the demons and humans?

Or was it his indomitable will to kill the powerful enemy who stood before him?

Even he didn't know the definite answer to that question that was suddenly brewing inside his mind.

But his will to fight was suddenly surging, like that of an endless ocean.

"... I have no reason to answer your questions, now that you have shown yourself, your only fate now is to fall by my blade."

Matthew said in a calm tone. His tone of voice clearly conveyed his disinterest in conversing with the demon before him. At that Alister shrugs his shoulders.

"Oh, that's disappointing. And here I thought we could have a nice chat while we're at it."

He then turned his gaze towards the remaining knights who stood a few meters or so behind Matthew.

(I have no interest in weaklings.)

He inwardly thought to himself.

And an almost imperceptible smirk appeared at the corner of his lips. Matthew's eyes narrowed cautiously; he felt a bad premonition. This feeling spurred him on to act decisively. As though by instinct his body moved without delay.

He kicked off the ground and leapt high into the air. At the same time Alister made his move, he extended his slender hand outwards and following that motion countless spears of darkness protruded from the earth!

"Wha?"

"No!"

"Aghhhhh!"

The agonizing cries of the knights who were unable to evade the sudden attack resounded through the garden of the castle grounds. Each spear pierced through the armor of the knights and penetrated through their torso.

The other remaining knights were lucky enough to escape while receiving heavy injuries.

Swoosh!

As though he had predicted his previous actions, Alister waved his hand and sent three spears of darkness towards Matthew who was on the verge of falling from his sudden jump.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!...

As the black spears drew closer in his gaze, Matthew's eyes sharpened like the edge of two blades. Suddenly, the blade of his sword shone faintly and with a swing of his sword a dazzling white light was released from the blade!

BOOOOOOM!

The slash of white light collided with the three spears of darkness. And at the same time the spear of darkness was completely incinerated by the heat generated by the white light.

However, the slash of light continued on its path, it moved at an impossible speed closing in on Alister who observed the white light calmly.

(... I see. The holy attribute, eh. No wonder his sword is said to be capable of eradicating all evil that exists in the world.)
