The Strongest Hero (Reader X Harem)

Chapter 29

Howdy, everyone! New chap, please enjoy!
Sorry for the late update. UwU

Azrael POV:

*What was that just now...?*
*I've seen that cross before.*
*It looks just like the necklace that my father had, 2 years ago...*
*What is the meaning of this...*

Iebith was constantly attacking Azrael, the necklace he had, transformed into the shape of a gun and with it, he was ruthlessly firing at Azrael, but all of the shots were parried by Azrael's blade.

"What's wrong, Azrael of the dark?!" Iebith shouted as he fired. "Is dodging all you can do?! Is that really the extent of your strength?!"

*Something's wrong...*
*He just keeps on trying to provoke me...*

"If I didn't know better... I'd say you don't stand a chance at me without using your ability?!"

*Another taunt...*
*I don't know who he is. I don't know why he's attacking me.*
*There's nothing else for it.*
*I'll give him what he wants.*

"Ban..."

"At last!" Iebith shouted. "This is the end, Azrael! Your Bankai... Ends... Here!"
"Kai!"

What appeared before Azrael was not foreseeable. The cross that Iebith had suddenly grew large and formed itself into the shape of an X.

"What... Is...that?!"
Suddenly a dozen blue ray of light came raining down at Azrael, he was able to dodge all of them, but unfortunately for him, his clothes didn't fare all too well.

"Melt," Iebith said. "Sea to clouds, clouds to rain, rain to mist. That with the form to that unseeable. We rejoice and lay down our sins."

Suddenly cloth-like material was trying to imbue itself into the skin of Azrael, but before it could do that, Azrael decided to stop playing around.
The sudden increase in aura turned the cloth into naught but ash, gone it was, reduced to atoms.

Back at Ryze's Headquarters.

As Ryze was discerning the newly arrived guests, a sudden spear came flying from outside and stopping its tracks at Ryze's trophy wall. There was someone impaled by it, someone very dear to him... Mrs. Camille.

"Camille!"
"Mourn her not." Said the mysterious man. "Rather, you should praise her. She has shown the path... That you all must ultimately follow. Which is to say, a futile struggle with all your might, followed by despair and death." The figured man then continued with. "In five days, Runeterra will be annihilated at the hands of the Invisible Empire.

Before any of the figures could blink, Ryze appeared next to Camille while also destroying the spear, putting her free.
"Your eyes..." Said the figure yet again. "They hold many questions. You wish to ask us who we are. And yet... You have already realized that we will give you no answer to that question. It should not be so difficult... for you to deduce the answer for yourself. Farewell."

"Hold it!" Said Ryze as he unleashed Rune magic at the figures, but before it could hit, they were gone.

*They got away!*
*Their aura has already vanished from Runeterra...*
*They must have some means of bypassing the protective barrier completely.*
"R-R-Ryze!" Said Camille as she was gasping for air. "Th...There is... Something important you must know! Th... Those fiends. They have the power to erase humans-..."

Back to Azrael

"Damn it! Ugh... W-Why?!" Screamed Iebith with despair. "Why does this human's Bankai not disappear?!"
