In the battle between the council’s warriors and the cultists, Arlstraxx, the cardinal of Phobos, supported Strah and Korku against the council’s two fearsome leaders, Pallas and Animus. As Arlstraxx cast his spells for support, he felt intense pressure from the side which caused him to turn. He saw a young draconian rushing at him. This draconian wore golden armor with a lion head carving on his chest plate.

“Despicable cultists! I will have your blood today to appease our fallen comrades…!!” Mihos roared and swung his golden greatsword in Arlstraxx’s direction.

Mihos was still a distance away from Arlstraxx, but the cardinal felt the pressure from Mihos intensifying. A golden wave appeared on the ground after Mihos swung his greatsword. This wave rushed at Arlstraxx leaving a trail of golden line.

The cultists on the way were blown away when this wave went through them. Ones with already low HP were even sliced apart.

Arlstraxx wanted to erect his psychic shield but he had been staring in Mihos’ direction all this time. He saw Mihos’ eyes shining with golden light. He was unable to move due to Mihos’ petrifying gaze.

The golden wave struck him and sent him flying back. Mihos used a super jump assault, covering a huge distance, and then used a normal jump assault. He landed right in front of Arlstraxx with a cleave right on top of the cardinal’s head. The heavy blow sent Arlstraxx plunging to the ground.

The cultist’s priests rushed in with their maces, determined to save their cardinal.

Mihos’ body exploded with a shockwave explosion, stopping them in their paths. He then performed double whirlwind slashes and followed with Sword of the Braves. His sword of the braves had increased to nine golden swords. These swords stabbed the surrounding priests and sent them reeling back.

Arlstraxx used the time bought by his priests to gather his power. A black fog exploded from his body. This fog formed multiple tentacles that punched Mihos, forcing him to back off.

Mihos’ greatsword burst with a golden flame. The tentacles that came at him were repelled when they touched this golden flame. Mihos swung madly. Each slash took out one tentacle. The fog that formed the tentacles was evaporated by the golden flame.

Arlstraxx knew he was not Mihos’ opponent. He might still be able to fight Mihos in the past even with Mihos being one grade higher, but now Mihos’ level had come close to his. He could only rely on numbers to deal with this champion.

Arlstraxx cast Bone Prison to lock Mihos’ movements. This bone prison could only hold Mihos for one second. One slash and all the bones were cut clean in half. Arlstraxx added a bone wall between him and Mihos before calling his cultists for help.

Mihos used Charge and broke through the bone wall as if a bull through a weak wooden fence. 

Arlstraxx couldn’t deny he was terrified by Mihos’ ferocity. It even affected his casting speed. He tried to cast a big spell to deal with Mihos but his casting was not as fast as usual. A laser beam hit his head. His devouring fog was unable to protect him. The laser beam penetrated through the fog that shielded his head. With his mental state already riled, his concentration wavered from this hit. His spell formation fizzled.

The one who shot him was Paytowin using his Brave Rifle on top of Brave King. His brave rifle had a cooldown of only one hour, so he could use it often.

Paytowin had learned from his previous mistake. He didn’t rush into the midst of enemies. He jumped down and landed behind Mihos, giving him ranged support while Mihos wreaked havoc among the cultists to get to Arlstraxx.

Brave King continued flying forward. It fired its projectile punch at Arlstraxx who was regaining balance. This time, Arlstraxx’s devouring fog managed to cushion the attack. Brave King’s detached fist was stopped by the fog tentacles.

Mihos was still charging toward Arlstraxx, sending any cultists who tried to block him flying away. Arlstraxx cast a quick spell. Multiple gravity bombs headed to Mihos. Mihos tanked through the bombs. The damage from the bombs’ explosions wasn’t much, but their gravity pull effect slowed him down.

Arlstraxx used the reprieve and cast another spell, Gravity Lock. Intense gravity restrained Mihos’ movements, but not for long.

Mihos uttered a yell. The spirit of the divine lion materialized above him. He had activated his Ancestral Possession.

His strength stat became so high that even the intense gravity was not able to hold him down. He tore through the gravity hold from Arlstraxx’s spell.

Arlstraxx was extremely startled his spell was nullified with such brute force. He started casting another spell when Brave King landed beside him. He paid the techno golem no mind. His fog tentacles would take care of the golem.

However, his fog tentacles recoiled when they touched Brave King’s metallic skin. He turned and saw the golem’s body glowing. It then exploded with intense bright light.

Brave King’s brave blast had been able to destroy Arlstraxx’s devouring fog in the past. It was even more so now that Paytowin upgraded the techno golem’s parts.

The powerful explosion not only stripped Arlstraxx of his protective fog but also caused him to stagger. Whatever spell he was preparing was canceled.

When his vision cleared up, he found Mihos already in front of him. Mihos swung his greatsword and produced mighty turbulence. Arlstraxx’s body was lifted into the air against his will.

Within the turbulence, his body flew around while Mihos’ sword energy continued to assail him. The divine lion spirit above Mihos joined in the assault. Countless swings and claws landed on Arlstraxx’s body while he was helpless, producing damage with each hit.

Even after the turbulence ended, Mihos didn’t stop. He used one hand and grabbed Arlstraxx, preventing the cardinal from escaping. His greatsword and the divine lion spirit above him ceaselessly struck Arlstraxx.

Paytowin and Brave King dealt with the cultists and stopped any from coming to the cardinal’s rescue.

Eventually, the cardinal fell.

Arlstraxx was only one of the cultist leaders whom Mihos remembered leading the attack on Daminos Square Garden. Mihos didn’t feel slaying Arlstraxx was enough for his vengeance. He now turned to the other leaders responsible for the destruction of his faction. Two of which were currently battling Pallas and Animus.

He headed over to them.
