Endless Journey: Infinite Realms

Chapter 258: Everyone's Virtues

With just one look, Alex was already sure that his angel woman's power was also the manipulation of the Astral Essence, although the constellation that appeared behind her seemed to be much stronger compared to all the Celestials that he had already met.

A Constellation with 100 Stellar Points, and each point has brightness that is much higher compared to other Celestials? That just shows how frightening this angel woman was!

The sword, bow, shield, and spear that she summoned right now already triggered Alex's danger sense, which was already testament on how powerful they are.

And to make matters worse, Alex felt the danger being emitted by the weapons increase as time passes by, which just means that the angel woman is still getting stronger right now!

<sword of="" charity!="">>> The angel woman did not waste any more time as she held the sword on her right hand, waving its blade towards Alex's direction.</sword>

A gentle, soothing aura came out of the sword, making everyone on the Blue Moon feel sleepy and peaceful.

Their defensive shield, which was already repaired, stated to form cracks out of its own volition, as if the sword was forcing it to destroy itself!

A few seconds later, everyone on the Blue Moon started to lay down their weapons, including Alina, Queen Mother, and Professor Frances.

As for their defensive shield, it was also gone now, leaving everyone defenseless.

"…."

Out of all the people in the Blue Moon, there was only two people that were able to resist what had happened.

One of them was Lingo, who was struggling to stand up, while the second one was Alex, who seemed to be not affected at all.

"What the?" Alex could not help but shout as he saw what was happening. He saw his allies being 'incapacitated' which made him tense greatly. "What the hell is happening here?"

"Master, that woman is using the power of the Seven Virtues to fight us." Out of nowhere, Greed suddenly appeared behind Alex, with his gaze solely concentrated on the weapons that the angel woman has. He was also the one who spoke out, and he looked pissed as he stared at the sword.

"Seven Virtues? Is that some kind of parallel with the Seven Sins?"

"Exactly Master." Greed replied quickly as he seemed to grit his teeth. "If you heard what that woman said earlier, you will know that she came from the Holy Order Plane. That plane basically is a place for beings who follow the teachings of the Holy Order Church. That Sword of Charity that she just used now? That is one of the abilities that a follower of the Holy Order Church can use."

"Greed, tell me the effects of the 'Sword of Charity'. Maybe I can do something about it."

"Master… as the way that you are right now, you have no way to stop it." Greed replied as he shook his head sadly. "From the rumors that I have heard, the Sword of Charity uses the concept of the 'Charity'. Basically speaking, the Sword of Charity can force any opponents to lose their will to fight. If that opponent holds a weapon, the Sword of Charity will force that opponent to lay the weapon down. If that opponent is defending himself, the Sword of Charity will force that opponent to let go of that defense. And if that opponent tries to run away, the Sword of Charity will force that opponent to stay, since escaping is also part of a fight."

"….That's really a cheat ability." Alex muttered to himself as he looked at his listless allies. "So, until the angel woman chooses to stop it, everyone affected by the Sword will lose their will to fight?"

That's right master.' Greed replied as he/she let out a sigh. "Fortunaely for you master, you are not affected by those Seven Virtues! With you around, we can still do something here!"

"…That info is something that cannot reassure me easily." Alex replied quickly as he narrowed his eyes. "I can see that the Sword of Charity is not working on me. But why is that the case? Was it because of my current form right now?"

The one who answered this question was not Greed. Instead, it was the angel woman who spoke up, with her greedy gaze now concentrated on Alex and Greed alone.

If earlier, the angel woman was ecstatic when she saw Lingo, right now, her face was almost orgasmic, as if she had just received the greatest pleasure in her life.

"Boom!"

The angel woman used her sword again, although this time around she just sent its sharp blade hurtling at Alex's direction.

"What the hell?" That was all that Alex could say as he forced himself to zip away from the sword.

"Major Telekinesis."

Alex used this spell to yank himself out of the blade's path, and he specifically sent his body hurtling towards Lingo's direction.

</pesky>

"HMPH, SINCE YOU WERE ABLE TO RESIST THE SWORD OF CHARITY, THAT JUST MEANS THAT YOU PRACTICE THE POWER OF GREED. TSK, WHAT A DEPLORABLE SIN! YOU ARE JUST A MANIAC WHO STEALS PEOPLE'S POTENTIAL! YOU MUST BE STOPPED NOW!"

After saying these words, the spear that the angel woman held started to glow white too, which was no doubt an indication that she was about to use its ability.

"SINCE YOU FOLLOW THE SIN OF GREED, THAT MEANS THAT I JUST HAVE TO USE ANY ABILITY THAT DOES NOT USE CHARITY! IN THAT CASE, TAKE THIS!"

"Boom!" The angel woman slashed the spearhead across the air, creating a white shockwave which travelled at insane speeds, and it reached Alex before he could even react to it!

"!!!" Alex was only able to raise his voice a little before the shockwave covered his whole body.

<hahaha! now="" that="" you="" are="" hit="" by="" the="" spear="" of="" humility,="" you="" must="" be="" experiencing="" extreme="" weakness="" right="" now!="" ha!="" that="" just="" serves="" you="" right!"="" the="" angel="" woman's="" talkative="" nature="" returned="" as="" she="" started="" to="" laugh="" gleefully.="" "fufufufufu,="" now="" that="" you="" are="" extremely="" weak,="" i="" can="" just="" stomp="" you="" flat="" with="" my="" foot!="" and="" once="" i="" am="" done="" with="" you,="" i="" will="" then="" finish="" off="" this="" blue="" fiend.="" as="" for="" your="" allies…="" hehehe,="" i="" can="" convert="" them="" to="" follow="" the="" holy="" order="" church!="" they="" are="" better="" to="" stay="" there="" rather="" than="" be="" corrupted="" by="" you=""></hahaha!>

"…"

<what? don't="" tell="" me="" that="" you="" are="" too="" weak="" even="" to="" just="" speak?="" that's="" really="" bad…="" well,="" well,="" well,="" i="" shall="" kill="" you="" swiftly!="" that="" will="" be="" my="" last="" act="" of="" mercy="" to="" you!="" so="" just="" stay="" there=""></what?>

"Oh come on, when will you really learn to shut your mouth? Don't you find it tiring to just talk?" Alex's leisurely voice interrupted the angel woman, who seemed to be shocked with what she just heard.

"Pit pat pit pat." Alex's whole body then appeared, with his legs slowly bringing him to approach the angle woman.

There was no indication that Alex was weakened, and for anyone who can see Alex right now, they can even say that he was not affected by the Spear of Humility at all!

<how could="" this="" be?="" you="" are="" alrady="" embraking="" on="" the="" sin="" of="" greed!="" how="" could="" you="" resist="" that="" spear="" of="" humility="" too?="" there's="" no="" way="" that="" you="" can="" do="" that!="">>> The angel woman screamed out as her wings started to shake erratically behind her. <this is="" illogical!="">>></this></how>

"Illogical? B**ch please, just take a look at me now." Alex replied cheekily as Pride appeared behind him.

"You call that little stick the Spear of Humility? Oh god, I have seen better weapons than that!" Pride disdainfully said as he rubbed his nose. "Are you really a 14-winged adjudicator? Heh, you must have been lying!"

<how could="" you="" practice="" two="" sins="" at="" once!="" nobody="" from="" this="" barren="" place="" could="" have="" done="" that!="">>> The angel woman seemed to have ignored Pride's taunts to her as she was only focused on the current issue. <you should="" have="" been="" dead="" already!="" this…="" this="" is="" not="" possible!="">>></you></how>

"Well, you have already seen it. There's no way that you can deny it." Alex replied as he shrugged his shoulders. "I really practice two sins… It's too bad for you that your powers are affected by my sins…"

<yo-yo-you might="" have="" practiced="" in="" two="" sins,="" but="" that="" does="" no="" make="" you="" safe!="" i="" still="" have="" two="" other="" weapons="" here!="">>> The angel woman seemed to have regained her confidence as she now grabbed the arrow.</yo-yo-you>

She manifested a bow in front of her, and nocked the arrow inside it.

As the arrow started to glow white, the angel woman hurriedly pointed it at Alex's direction.

"Boom!" The arrow had struck Alex head on, but a few seconds later, and Alex walked slowly towards the angel woman again, as if the arrow were also unable to affect him.

The angel woman's final weapon, the shield, started to glow white too as it released a large dome which was sent crashing towards Alex.

"You know, you have been triggering a lot of flags already. Maybe if you just did not talk, your powers could have done some help to you."
