Chapter 144 - C144 Another Saint

Redros did not wait for the others and immediately attacked Yu's manifested dragon.

"Fake, I will kill you!" he raged.

However, before he could even reach it, Admiral Robin stared at him with wide eyes. Then in the next second and said…

"Beast, down."

Strangely enough, the dragon stopped flapping his wings and fell down as per admiral Robin's command.

"Attack!" Admiral Yu yelled which prompted his dragon to act.

It opened its mouth as it intended to the latter's neck to death.

"Grrr!" Redros growled as he noticed it coming for its neck. Of course, he would not let it happen.

In the next second, he flapped his wings and prepared to breathe fire towards Admiral Yu's manifested dragon.

"Be still!"

However, as he heard Admiral Robin's words, he calmed down again and went still. Hence, he was bitten by the manifested dragon. Fortunately, his scales are not just for show. If not because of traces of the Divine energy from Jake's attack, he would have not been injured.

"What the hell did just happen?"

Meanwhile, the three other Demons could not understand what had just happened. However, in the next second, they no longer have the leisure to think of it as Jake initiated another one of his attacks.

"Death Leviathan!"

For the second time, the sword ray made of death energies that injured Redros is coursing towards one of the three Demons.

Of the three Demons, Jake targeted the Demon with tentacle-like beards.

"Disgusting creature, Die!"

Indeed, of all of the Demons, he found him weak and disgusting.

"Ahhhhhh!"

Meanwhile, as the Demon saw the sword ray flying towards him, he shrieked like a scared lady. Surely, he knew that he cannot endure the ray.

Whoosh! Clang!

Of course, the strongest among the three of them would not let him be injured especially since he is just near him.

He punched the ray with his gauntlet.

Surprisingly, nothing happened to him. Instead, the sword ray disappeared.

"Interesting, there seemed to be a powerful Divine Spirit in here." the Demon said. Then, he looked at the tentacle-bearded Demon and said, "Dor'gan, I will take it from here."

Indeed, he could tell that Jake's master, the Divine Spirit of Life and Death is strong.

"Hehe. Creature, you did not have lived in vain. However, it saddens me to say that you will no longer be needing them. Life Chop."

If the Death Leviathan uses death energies, the Life Chop is the other way around, it utilizes life energies. However, unlike the former, it does not create a sword ray. Rather, it stirs the life energies in the surroundings and uses them for an attack.

Of course, Jake could choose the location where to stir the life energies.

Peng!

With a casual punch, he resolved Jake's attack.

"Young man, I am Rugreth, a Demons of Wrath. Tell me, what is your name?"

Although it is rather awkward, Jake told his name.

"I am Jake, a prophet of the Divine Spirit of Life and Death."

"Jake, I admire your strength and prospects, leave the Lord you're serving and degenerate. The power of the Demons is far more strong than the Divine Spirits."

From an opponent, he became a preacher of the Demons. And, judging from his eyes, it seemed that he saw something in Jake.

Unfortunately for him, Jake did not care.

"My Lord, the Divine Spirit of Life and Death is supreme. Sundering Light!"

The sundering light is once used by Cyrus. At that time, he fought a Demon with the same strength as an angel at the ranks of a lower angel.

Indeed, they are on par in terms of power, at that time.

Meanwhile, the sundering light is one of the fastest attacks that Allen's followers have. It is, if not faster, as fast as light.

Whoosh!

In a blink of an eye, Rugreth, the Demons, was already hit. However, he, the Demon, was surprised that the sundering light did not seem to have an effect on him.

However, in the next second, he paled as he noticed that there are tiny fireflies roaming around his body.

"What did you do to me?" he asked.

However, he was surprised again as he saw Jake's frail body.

"You exchanged your life for that attack? have you realized that I am a Demon general?

A/N: a Demon general is on par with a saint.

Of course, Jake already knew it. No one from the ranks of an admiral could easily resolve his attack.

"Hahaha! Creature, what do you think of me? A fool?" he replied with a weak voice.

However, this ignited the wrath of the Demon general. He wanted to take him as his disciple.

In his eyes, Jake is a very good fighter. He has the courage and the talent.

"HOW COULD YOU LOWER YOUR SELF TO BECOME AN ETERNAL SLAVE?" he exclaimed in rage and anger.

Indeed, in his eyes, the followers of the Divine Spirits are slaves.

"I want you to become a Demon to free you…but you sacrificed your life, instead."

"My Lord is the Divine Spirit of Life and Death. It does not matter if I die."

That is his final word. After which, he tranquilly closed his eyes as his life force comes to an end.

A/N: please correct me if I'm wrong.

"I bring with me the shrine of our Lord."

Before his consciousness fades into nothingness, he heard a voice. Then, in the next moment, his life force was replenished and he was born anew with Divine light.

"Sir Alastar?"

Indeed, it was Alastar. Along with him are the members of the Plague River Church.

"Live on, our Lord would be glad to have another saint within our ranks."

Only at this moment that he understood that the rebirth from the claws of death is not entirely because of Alastar. It is because he had ascended to the ranks of a saint.

Indeed, he could now be proud of himself as he had reached this rank.

The ranks of a saint mean that their seed of faithfulness is now a Divine Tree of faithfulness. However, this is not an easy task.. To become a saint, they must have to offer everything to their Lord and would leave nothing behind for them.
