Chapter 543: A Kingdom of Borrowed Wings
After Thousand Suns, Pablo used another Special Skill in the War.
Angels Parade was the name.
After using it, one thousand Angels were floating in front of him and everyone could see them.
The dragon king had told Pablo to call the ten Gods and Pablo did this. So naturally, he yelled:
"What the hell are Angels doing here?!"
After the dragon king said that, only then did the soldiers and everyone else got to know that these beings were Angels. Otherwise, they all thought they were some strong people who came from the sky.
All of them had white robes and white wings and each one of them had something else on their hands.
One had a flute, one had a guitar, one had a single drum, one had a pen and a diary, one had a violin and so much more. Everyone saw a pattern because of this.
Most of the Angels had something related to music in their hands and it was Pablo's first time to see Andrezj with something as well.
The male Angel, the strongest one, had a violin in his hand. Pablo would have liked to hear it but he believed it wasn't the time for a concert.
Cupid, however, was the same. She had her quill and her diary. And she was standing at the far back of the thousand Angels. Mostly because she was the weakest of them all.
After their appearance, everyone then looked at Pablo and this man made everyone more surprised than the thousand Angels.
Pablo's eyes had become white, his hairs had turned gray as if he was touched by calmness and serenity itself. His whole body emanated peace as a halo appeared behind his head.
They couldn't recognise Pablo anymore and they couldn't find the courage to talk to him as well. Pablo had become a different person and all they would do now is to follow him.
But there was someone else present in the Crucible that had the courage to speak to Pablo.
"What is the meaning of this, human? What did you do? Where are those ten bastards?" El'Dorado barked, gripping his machete, Widow, tighter than ever.
Pablo looked at him. His white eyes locked with the dragon's vertical red eyes.
The dragon king was not just in front of Pablo anymore as there was some distance between them.
But Pablo still looked smaller than the dragon king so he did something.
He waved his hands and in front of everyone's eyes, he began floating.
His feet lifted off the ground as he rose in the air.
After reaching a certain height, he stopped and now he was on the same level as the dragon king.
Both beings could now stare at each other without looking up or down.
Pablo also liked it this way and after he reached this form, the fear inside his heart had vanished. He wasn't afraid of the dragon king anymore. This wasn't out of arrogance, he simply didn't find any fear of anything while he was in this form.
Anyway, now he was ready to answer the dragon king.
"What you want isn't possible, El'Dorado. The Gods won't come. The only God for you right now is me. Make do with it."
"Like hell!" El'Dorado roared. "I want them! Call them here! Or I will kill all of you!"
"You don't understand, dragon. I am not someone you can kill now."
"I can kill anyone." The dragon king rebuked.
Pablo sighed. "Look at them."
The dragon king turned around and looked at the Angels that had arrived a few seconds ago.
Along with him, everyone else also looked and when they did, all of them found land vanishing from under their feet.
They couldn't believe their eyes. Seeing a thousand Angels was already a feat but what they saw now made smoke come out of their heads.
All those thousands of Angels that had just arrived… were kneeling at Pablo.
All of their heads hung low as if Pablo was their God.
And in reality, he was. For one hour.
For one hour, Pablo had full rule over these Angels and everyone else saw him in a new light. They knew the man was special but this was beyond special. He stopped being a Human now.
The dragon king was also taken aback but the next second, he sensed something and nodded.
"I can sense this belongs to that bitch who was also among those ten bastards. This is her power! You have her power too!"
The dragon king figured these Angels belonged to the Goddess Alfida and Pablo wasn't surprised by that. Because it didn't matter.
Pablo floated in the air and by floating he reached behind Harlia.
He placed his hand on her shoulder and did his thing.
[ Mimesis Malefica In Use! ]
[ Keep holding the target for five seconds to copy their Ego! ]
Pablo used his Ego on Harlia as he had lost her Ego. He had no Egoes at the moment.
The dragon king didn't pay Pablo's actions that much mind and only focused on his own goal.
"So you won't summon those ten bastards?" He asked.
Pablo shrugged. "I can't."
The dragon king then looked at Malvador.
"Can you do it?"
Malvador sighed. "Believe me if I could do something like that, I would have done it and saved myself."
The dragon king nodded. "Fine. Then I shall do it myself."
Five seconds were up and Pablo had Harlia's Ego with him now.
Then, he wasted no time and floated towards Malvador.
The vampire king took a stance but when he sensed no malice from Pablo, he calmed down.
Pablo arrived behind the Vampire and placed his hand on his shoulder.
He did the same thing he did with Harlia.
[ Mimesis Malefica In Use! ]
[ Keep holding the target for five seconds to copy their Ego! ]
The system showed its usual notifications and after that, images flashed inside Pablo's mind.
He was looking at Malvador's memories and he paid attention to them as well.
After five seconds, the memories ended and now Pablo had Malvador's Ego as well.
He didn't copy Sera's luck this time, as more than luck, he needed strength.
Strength to defeat the Dragon King.
