Alexia, and Ezekiel entered the manor with Monica being held in his arms. While Alexia removed the golden Soldiers who blocked their way to their other team members.
She slipped through the gaurd of one and sent it flying with a uppercut. Another tried to stab her with it's blade but Ezekiel used his spear to parry the blow and Alexia slipped between them and delivered a downward axe kick that sent the soldier to crash face first into the polishes marble floor.
"Argh!" Monica let out faint wails of pain, but she tried to hold it in as to not worry her comrades.
Ezekiel and Alexia felt guilt for the state of the commrade. As the ran further into the manor trying to reach the others, while cutting down multiple soldiers.
As they saw them, Ren, Sofia and father Mikhail faces were happy at first but than shifted to horror upon seeing the three state,especially Monica's, but despite that they keep calm minds.
Ren spoke as he continued to heal and purify the humans servants. "Get her in the field so I can heal her."
He said and Ezekiel obligated as he gently placed Monica in the force-field and as if following their cue the green pages began to fly towards Monica and heal her wounds.
"What happened to the demon, did you exorcise or vanquish him?" Ren questioned they without taking his eyes on those he was healing.
"No we sent him back a 100 meters away to buy some time, and I the information was correct on the demons identity. As he was Mammon the lord of greed.
Upon hearing those words fear began to creep in as the weight of what they were up against set in, but before they could come up with a plan they noticed that all the golden soldiers began to melt and returned to a liquid state.
"Ah! Gold one of the most valuable material. It's been used for jewelery, currency and many more,but if you had to ask me why it's among my favorite things to use when it comes to greed. It's because its among the most used materials mortals were known for betraying each other for." A calm yet chilling voice rangout through the shadows.
They all stood gaurd preparing for any surprise attacks. As the 3 remaining combatants stood in front of the other three acting as defense.
As Mammon walked through the shadows revealing his figure in the moon light, as he stared at the humans and his servants who were being healed by the green haired human.
They noticed that Mammon was missing an arm, as he had a stomp that ended at his elbow.
Mammon noticed their gaze and smiled. "I suggest you don't get a bighead mortals, as that attack you hit me with only did this much damage, cause I let my gaurd down." He finished his words as the liquid gold started to move and it glued itself to Mammon stomp and took the form of a golden arm with dark green glowing symbols that were of demonic orgins.
He waved his arms and a wave of golden and green energy was blasted towards them.
Sofia, Ezekiel and Alexia created three barriers and Ren began performing prayers to boost their abilities further.
And the energy clashed with the barrier with the collision cause a class of energies as the divine clashed with the demonic. The attacker blasted the entire side of the manor away as they were trying their hardest to hold the barrier.
"Hold!!!" Ezekiel shouted as the veins in his body seemed as if they were about to burst from the amount of strain he was putting it through.
With Sofia and Alexia following suit, as Alexia's veins were seeming golden energy and Sofia pushing her armor to it's max.
"AAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRGGGGGGHHHH!"
The clash cause a massive explosions to take place taking half of the manor with it.
The smoke from the explosion was still around them hinder their vision of each other.
"This is a bother!" Mammon said to which he proceeded to let out a roar that shoke the mountain and blow away the entire smoke.
When the smoke was gone Mammon stare at where his prey were but as he was looking at their prior place to see that they were gone. Along with his servants.
As Mammon stare his eyes possessed no noticeable emotion he suddenly turn to the sky and let out a roar of pure anger and hatred.
"FFFFFUUUUUUUCCCCCCCKKKKKK!!!"

Lazarus opened his eyes and what he met when he opened them was a familiar red sea with 2 familiar figures hovering above him.
He swam upwards and reached the surface of the water."gasp!"
He took a large breath, as he wiped his eyes and met eyes with Amaris and Dakarai. Who were staring at him with faint smiles or atleast Dakarai was as Amaris had her blank expression.
"How's the water?" Dakarai said as he extended his arm towards Lazarus and to which he took.
"Average..."
He said than was pulled up from yhe water and when he was lifted out of the water he stood on it.
"So... what happened?"
"You want the short or long version of what happened?"
"Short."
Okay, we'll you collapsed after placing Maxwell's soul inside his new body as the mental toll of placing a soul was too much for you currently. So we decided to pull you in here for a chat."
Dakarai finish as he and Lazarus walked to the slightly ruined palace ahead of them.
"What you want to talk about?" Lazarus asked walking a beside Dakarai who summoned a glass with red liquid inside it.
"As your aware, the more you access your divine energy which i was trying to stop you from using." He said as cracks began to form along the frame of the glass.
"Yes...what about it?" He questioned
"Well for instance you body is taking backlash from it and while it's not too server, but you body is going to need to rest or to be more precise you soul.
So you'll be unable to access any abilities tied to your angelic heritage for a couple of days."
