Heavenly Kingdom: The Kingdom among the clouds

Chapter 40: Absolute Defense V

[Northern Border Wall]

At the current moment since Gabriel's objective have changed from attacking and securing the border wall to stalling for time, he then had no choice but to quickly think of a way to stall for time against his current opponents, since the battle between the three of them had somewhat been a fast paced with no words to exchange at all, it was all just attack and attack till only one person is left standing and not much talking

Despite that Gabriel couldn't help but agree that the battle so far had also been a battle of wits between the three of them, with one striking a decisive blow which could literally kill a person, the one receiving it had to naturally think of multiple steps ahead of its opponent to be able to make a counter of its own, or else if one doesn't do such a thing then he or she would immediately get done in after a few steps

In other terms such a use of wits in battle is called battle knowledge which is born from pure instincts and reflexes

For him Archangels are the highest-ranking angels in heaven. In earth God gives them the most important responsibilities, and they travel back and forth between the heavenly and earthly dimensions as they work on missions from God to help human beings. In the process, each archangel supervises angels with different types of specialties—from healing to wisdom—who work together on the light ray frequencies that correspond to the type of work they do, which put them as superior to all races that dwells the earth or surface

By merely being able to stand firm in the presence of an archangel without faltering is already quite a feat, much less shows a battle prowess that is as quick as an archangel who is a veteran in battles, because of that Gabriel already looked out towards Leon and Benkei with a gaze that showed respect befitting of a noteworthy human and by the order of her queen he then naturally had to drag this on for much longer

"I couldn't even believe that a human such as yourselves are able to fight me head-on for about a few minutes now, what's more I'm even more surprised that your able to injure me despite being a human, well it should have been obvious already since it's a 1v2 but that only stands for the case if I'm fighting something supernatural and I'm pretty sure that you guys aren't supernatural at any means"

"Hah! talking about surprise and supernatural when the person himself is literally the supernatural himself, anyone would literally be surprised and scared if they are fighting and Archangel of myths and legends, especially since the creature himself doesn't bleed and have its injuries glow bright in this dark night, it is as if your literally made out mana itself" said Benkei as he observed any opening from Gabriel

"Me supernatural? do you not know what supernatural means? Supernatural comes from the Latin word supernaturalis, meaning beyond nature. The adjective form of supernatural describes anything that pertains to or is caused by something that can't be explained by the laws of nature, and I'm for a fact a... oh! looks like I am a supernatural! Ahahahaha!!! well what do you know! looks like angels really do sometimes make mistakes" Laughed Gabriel after noticing his own blunder

"Are you serious?" asked Benkei as if he just couldn't understand the archangel right in front of him at all

At this very moment as if feeling was something doesn't add up due to the fact that they are talking in the midst of battle, Leon then suddenly talked out loud towards Gabriel, thus catching his attention

"You... Something doesn't add up! Just what are you aiming at?"

Seeing that the lancer commander is somewhat wary of his intentions, Gabriel then literally had to not make his objectives obvious, but such a case would only work if such a commander is not a smart one and all brawns, nevertheless he had to try since he doesn't have any other options
