In an instant, Alastar's power rose to the ranks higher than an admiral. Although the cost is high, he is confident to block all the explosives of the military and at the same time, he would be able to damage the heavily.
"Shift!"
With just a word, the incoming missiles changed their direction and headed back to where they came from.
"What the heck is with that monster?"
The higher-ups in the base began to panic. They were out of wits how to deal with a powerful entity.
"Disarm all missiles."
Although it might be rather costly, they had no choice.
"Fools. Do you think you will be saved just because you disarmed it?"
From where Alastar was, the missiles that he had shifted lost their power. However, Alastar only smirked and said a mother word.
"Arm!"
With that, the disarmed missiles got back online and were brimming with energy again. they then continued on their path towards them.
However, in the next second, the shadows moved and warped into a door in which a three-headed monster dog came out. In the next second, the three-headed monster dog swallowed some of the missiles heading towards the headquarter of the military.
Pfft!
A muffled boom could be heard as the missiles exploded on its belly. However, the beast is standing as if nothing happened to it.
"Cerberus?"
Alaster looked at the beast carefully. During their expeditions when the Plague Priest was still alive, they have red of this beast from the ancient texts.
However, he did not believe it at first. But now, there is a living one in front of him.
ROAR!
Its three heads roared at the same time making its reverberation unpleasant to the ear. At the same time, as they roar, the glass windows cracked.
"Noisy!" Alastar said. Then, he waved he pointed his hand making all the metal fly towards the Cerberus.
However, they did not manage to hurt it. Not even a single scratch could be seen.
That is how terrifying the defense of the beast is.
In fact, this is the first time that he had encountered a beast.
"Is this the trump card of the military?"
"It is indeed terrifying. I would like to know more of you; however, I am running out of time."
Knowing that he running out of time, Alastar did not have a choice but to rush things. The effect of the Divine wrath is about to end.
"Burst!"
In the next second, he directed his faith energy into the beast of an attack. And, to his surprise, the Divine Mark also let him sure the Divine energy that it had stored.
A/N: only the saints and above are the ones that could use Divine energies.
Although the Divine Mark allows them to use Divine energy, it is only when things are rather serious. Furthermore, they did not have absolute control.
"Ahhhh!"
With a shout, he did not care anymore as he only thought to kill the beast.
Meanwhile, the beasts did not stay idle and began rushing towards him. It intended to kill him as it was threatened by his presence.
At the same time, the beast's eyes also turned scarlet indicating that it was on a rampage.
"Beast, it seemed that I am really a threat to you, eh? You even rampaged for 'no reason'."
Whoosh!
At this moment, Alastar sent his final attack on the beast.
Of course, with its three heads, the beast tried to shallow Alastar's attack. however, it could not find anything because it was intangible.
The command from his triggers the order which was linked towards Allen's authority. As for why it was so domineering, Allen too did not know. Well, perhaps he will know when he had understood his authority to the fullest.
Supposedly, his preachers could only use the words that were related to life and death. And, that was given for the Divine Spirits. For example, the followers of the Divine Spirit of darkness could only use words that are related to darkness.
"The Divine Spirit of Life and Death is supreme."
With that, his time had already ended. The traces of life in his eyes are about to disappear.
Meanwhile, the beast is finally injured by Alastar's attack. Furthermore, its injury is rather fatal. Some of its organs ruptured along with some blood vessels.
"I did not manage to kill you, huh?"
At this moment, he lost his consciousness, he saw the beast rushing towards him. However, there is a smile plastered on his face because at least he managed to injure the beast.
"Alastar!"
Meanwhile, as his consciousness began to fade, he heard a familiar voice call his name.
"Alastar!"
At first, the voice is rather faint, but this time, it is a lot clearer.
"Alastar, our Lord the Divine Spirit of Life and Death, had decreed for you to continue leading the Plague River Church!"
Suddenly, as the voice finished speaking, the Divine Mark in his inner body received an influx of Divine energy and at the same time poured Divine energy to heal him.
Then, gently after that, he opened his eyes and saw a scene that made his tears fall.
"I thought you were…"
He saw the Plague Priest with a pair of wings on his back. he has ascended the ranks of an angel. Allen had revived him using a vast amount of Divine energy.
"Dead? No. Did you forget who is the Lord that we are serving?" the voice said.
"Sir Plague…it's good that you're back."
Alastar was full of tears. He did not expect this plot twist.
"No, Alastar, you will continue to lead the church because I will accompany the Lord." Plague paused for a while and intently looked at Alastar before continuing with a stern voice, "a catastrophe is approaching the humans and only the followers of our Lord can be saved."
"Really?" Alastar was lost for words.
"It is not that our Lord did not want to save humanity but the only ones that can be saved are those that can use faith energy."
After saying that, Plague flapped his angelic wings.
Meanwhile, Alastar spread his eyes in his surroundings only to notice the corpse of the beast.
He could see that it was stabbed by a sword.
After that, he looked up only to notice an array in the air.
Meanwhile, Plague, as he was flying towards the array, he looked down one last time.. He knew that he will miss the ways of the mortals.
