Chapter 597 The Spire (Part 2 Of 4)
5th floor of the spire.
"Run! This guy is not easily taken down! We need to call the others upstairs to help-" before one of the guys can escape, I already shot him down with the Versatile Weapon, killing him before he can even go upstairs and ask for some backup.
I didn't have much difficulty with them all as they are not as difficult as monsters. One shot in the head or one stab in their body and they are dead so defeating them is much easier compared to the monsters that take a longer beating before they are officially declared killed.
However, even though they are NPCs and are angels on top of that, they are part of a bigger problem that will be making things harder in the final fight so even if they are somewhat decent people, it doesn't change the fact that they will die from the so-called "god" that they keep on saying and worshipping. Killing them might be the evil route but I am part of the rogue quest line so it doesn't matter whether I go to the massacre route or just straight up ignore the troublesome mechanics that the game laid out for me.
I continue to climb but someone from the angels is currently standing in the middle of the sixth floor's hall. She looks like a valkyrie due to her armor but I can also tell that she is part of the cult as she is defending its cult. Someone who isn't part of the cult will never see the appeal of joining the cult and helping them resurrect whatever god they are worshipping.
"You have finally arrived, Interloper. Although it should have been easy for you to go away and forget everything that had happened, you didn't do it and instead continue doing so. I don't know whether you are just plain stupid, or you are just having a death wish."
Despite her provocation, I didn't get angry at her. It didn't affect me as this level of provocation rarely gets me and if it ever did, that person who provoked me might have hit a nerve on me for me to be affected by it.
She continues to talk, trying to distract me but I can see a few of the magicians on the sixth floor are currently doing a cast on their magic while some are aiming their crossbows and guns at me. They thought I wouldn't notice it but I am not an idiot and I am not blind to not see those big weapons they have and their glowing magic circles while they are aiming them at me.
Instead of listening to the angel yammer and yammer all she wanted, I instead used this chance to prepare some stuff I have in my inventory and belt to completely turn the tide.
And when the timing is right, I pulled out one of the Smoke Bottles I had in my inventory and throws them to the valkyrie-looking angel. She immediately defended and the others who are waiting to shoot at me fired at will but since I already anticipated that they would shoot at me then I used the opportunity to just duck and shoot my Versatile Weapon's gun form to them
The smokescreen created from throwing the Smoke Bottle at them covers the whole surrounding and gives every single one of them temporary blindness. This effect only affects the enemies so I took the opportunity to get rid of the long-range angels that can attack in the distance as they are the most annoying guys to handle. Thankfully, one bash to the head or one bullet to the forehead does the trick and kills them all without any problem.
I was not fast enough to get rid of the armored Valkyrie as the smokescreen slowly dissipates, leaving only me and the Valkyrie angel left standing.
Seeing all of the dead angels in the surroundings, the angel's face contorted to an ugly-looking expression where she shout in rage as she attacks me with her lance.
"I don't know why you are doing this, but you have to die!"
"Forgive me, for you will need to go first. I am not yet ready to kick the bucket just yet."
SLASH!
One single slash and the valkyrie's head disappeared from where it was before. I realized that the Versatile Weapon did not slice the Valkyrie's neck, but instead, swallowed the whole head. I didn't know that the Versatile weapon is aiming to eat the helmet of the Valkyrie. It didn't make me salivate when it saw the Valkyrie so this caught me by surprise.
As a result, the Valkyrie Angel is now a headless corpse as the head is now nowhere to be seen.
"Damn, next time, you should tell me you are hungry before you devour something. I know I have to kill them but eating their equipment without my permission is another story."
After the Valkyrie angel died, I resumed my climb to the spire.

While Bladeheart is progressing steadily on his climb to the spire, the cult leader who is now kneeling in front of the monolith that the god she was worshipping is using as the manifestation to present himself to the world is still struggling after her defeat from Bladeheart and failing to secure the Dark Core. She healed it up but it was still not enough.
"My child, why are you struggling? Isn't your biggest wish to die? So why are you trying so hard to heal the wounds that you sustained?" a heavy voice that seems to come from the ground started to echo from the Monolith.
"My Lord, until the mission for you to appear here in this world is complete, I can't die just yet. That is why I am not going to succumb to these wounds of mine until you are complete!"
"Hahaha, I am so lucky to have you, my little follower. Don't worry, once everything is complete, I will make sure to complete your wish."
"Yes, My Lord. I will not let you down. I will help you get your body here in this world and you can begin to rule this dirty and worthless world with your might!"
"Oh yes, that is indeed the plan. So don't worry. Everything is all according to plan."
