[ Demon Marionette ]
This is an ability Rimuru got after he devoured Clayman during the Walpurgis. Although Rimuru had never used this ability, this unique skill was still recorded under his skill bank. And Roxanne, who got Ciel as her partner, also managed to recreate this ability with her own methods. Although this ability is like a very trashy move in Clayman's hand, one must realise that anything under a true master is heaven-defying.
And just like that, this seemingly ordinary ability is now able to shine brightly today.
Soon, the light in Cao Cao's eyes vanished. His movements began to stiffen, and soon his movements once again returned to normal. But his eyes were still lifeless, like he was just a walking corpse.
And then the next moment, the Longinus spear appeared in his hand and glowed brightly. And under the disbelieving gazes of his comrades, Cao Cao threw the True Longinus straight towards Great Red and Roxanne. More specifically, the spear was heading straight toward Roxanne.
' WTF, ' Georg and the rest of the hero faction cursed in their minds as they looked at their idiot leader and then at the Longinus spear that was heading straight towards the two monsters.
For a moment, the hero faction members all wanted to crack open Cao Cao's head to check what kind of brain he has. After all, those two are the biggest monsters in this battlefield, and the hero faction, even in their peak, would not be able to fight even one of them, much less the two of them together. Although they all previously said they would fight to the death, they actually didn't mean going to offer their heads to be slaughtered.
But right now, the most dumbfounded person is none other than Cao Cao himself. But tragically, with that final attack, Cao Cao's injuries worsened and, coupled with the previous injuries, his body finally couldn't hold back and fell unconscious.
….
As soon as Cao Cao launched that attack, both Roxanne and Scarlet felt the incoming attack. No, specifically speaking, the one who actually controlled Cao Cao there is Roxanne herself, so she sensed the attack before anyone.
As for why she even bothered to control Cao Cao into launching such an attack, well, frankly speaking, there are three reasons. One is that Roxanne wanted to drag the Hero faction back to the battlefield; secondly, she wanted to make sure Cao Cao was injured so badly that he would be forced to make a retreat. And lastly, Roxanne needed the True Longinus.
It is time for her idiot grandfather to clean up his mess.
Thinking so, Roxanne, in one fluid motion, held the Scyth and brought it down towards the True Longnius. And under the disbelieving gaze of many people, the True Longinus, which was one of the symbols of Christianity, was broken by the second-generation God.
There was a deafening silence as everyone, whether it was Gods,Yokai,devil or angel, all of them looked at with disbelieving eyes as they looked at the sky. At this moment, the whole seemed to press a pause button.
The first one to react was the poor Cao Cao, who woke up from his coma and coughed up a mouthful of blood. This is because of the destruction of the True Longinus caused a huge backlash for its current wielder Cao Cao.
But things didn't just end there. When Roxanne destroyed the True Longinus, the holy aura around the spear didn't diminish at all. Instead, it began to rise continuously. At the same time, the sounds of ringing bells were heard all over the world.
This caught the attention of every single being in the world. Whether it was humans or supernatural beings. And just when people were about to start investigating this strange phenomenon, they all suddenly felt an aura that is holier than anything that appears.
A white silhouette began to appear from the fragments of the True Longinus. As soon as this person appeared, a huge pressure that is no weaker than a dragon god came down upon the world.
Seeing this person, those old-timers who were casting their gazes on this battlefield could no longer sit still. This person is someone who once dominated a complete era. He is the creator god of the largest pantheon, the god who, even at his weakest, casually dealt with two heavenly dragons and created two god-slaying sacred gears.
This person is none other than Roxanne's idiot cheap grandfather, the Biblical God Yahweh. And inside the True Longinus, there was the divinity and consciousness of the biblical God stored inside. This is why Roxanne, despite having the soul of God, did not resurrect him sooner.
A soul without consciousness is nothing but a puppet. And Roxanne obviously wouldn't do such a boring thing.
"Well, although this is our first time meeting, I have to say you, my granddaughter, sure have exceeded my expectations. I would have never expected you to awaken my consciousness like this, " Yahweh spoke as he looked at Roxanne with his kind smile.
"Well, what can I say, I take after the best ", Roxanne shrugged as she brought the scythe back.
"Indeed, your parents have always managed to surprise me many times ", Yahweh spoke with a nostalgic expression. Although his powers allowed him to peer into the future, this doesn't mean he is all-knowing.
In fact, many times his predictions went awry because of some variables. Sometimes it would be due to the interference of a powerful deity, or sometimes it is simply because of his own misunderstandings.
All in all, unlike a certain indian god, Yahweh was quite open-minded about not being able to read the script. For him, the act of fate-defying is the best he could ask for. As a person born from the concept of miracles, he hopes everyone can change their fate, even if it is only a slight modification.
" Okay then, my dear granddaughter, could you explain why you summoned me to this battlefield? " Yahweh asked as he looked around.
" Well, nothing much really, I just wanted to craft a new weapon. So, my dear grandfather, please become my material. " Roxanne said with a wide smile. Then, before anyone could react, her shadow grew larger and devoured Yahweh the next moment.
This once again left everyone speechless. Some people even wondered whether they were dreaming. That was God you know, the big guy who is ruthless enough to go all around the world sealing powerful beings and creating all those god-slaying sacred gears.
And this guy was swallowed just like that.
" Hmm, did his future vision predict this, too? " Roxanne muttered with a dissatisfied expression after seeing that her prank was seen through. Yes, what she did was just a prank. After, do you really think she would dare devour her own grandfather?
Well, although she has the guts, she couldn't do it because the first person to hunt her down would be her own mother. Then next would be the whole Heaven faction full of angels. Then maybe those devils who always wanted her death would also join in on the fun.
Hiss, now that she thinks about it, she now really wants to do it and fight everyone just to polish her martial arts.
Don't doubt it, as a proud disciple of Scáthach, she is someone who dances through the line of life and death. And as a battle maniac, she often doesn't get enough opponents to satisfy her desires.
Well, that's not quite true. Those who joined Shadow Garden always fought Roxanne when they first joined. But after that, no one would ever fight Roxanne again. Even if they have a death wish, they would never think of fighting against her. This is because the trauma Roxanne brings to her opponents is too much. Look, even Scarlet refused to fight her because of how terrifying Roxanne is. And this left Roxanne feeling very lonely.
