The Heavenly Castle of Angelicae

The tranquillity of the heavenly castle had been well and truly destroyed, much to the delight of the teenager who was currently diving from one victim to the next, slaughtering them with reckless abandon. It was absolute bliss for the pink haired slayer and as body after body collapsed to the floor, her lust for blood only grew. Her mission for the day was so simple, to wipe out the castle of all life and destroy the building itself. No complications, no deviousness, just simple destruction, which was precisely how she liked it. The fact that her primary targets were angelic only excited her even more, as her entire childhood had been spent being trained for such encounters. They had harmed her mother so much and Cierra had vowed revenge against the pieces of shit. First, however, there were the minions to kill, a useless bunch that were just running in terror from her.

Her claws were already caked in the blood of the poor fools and as she continued to lash out and end their sorry lives, they became only more frightened, with many of them trying to beg at her feet. It was pointless though and she didn’t even give them a moment’s thought, ending them with reckless abandon. She wasn’t sure just how many had died but as the count continued to rise, the pink haired girl knew that it’d only be a matter of time before she’d attract the attention of the angels roaming among the castle. The entrance hall was little more than a blood covered disaster zone at this point and the holy feel of the place was gone, replaced by fear and death.

With a wicked grin, she’d chase after yet another pathetic male, impaling him from behind, before pouncing onto him and slashing with her claws. His face would soon become little more than a mess and she was quickly up and bringing down yet another foe. It was funny just how confident and arrogant they had been when she’d arrived, looking down upon her and speaking of their great deities with such reverence and now here they were, killed by the daughter of a god. She didn’t know much about her employer but it appeared that they certainly were not a fan of the higher forms of life either and had a suspicion that they’d deliberately sought her out when looking for someone to perform this task. Perhaps this was all just a test from her mother, in order to help prepare her for what was to come. She wouldn’t put it past her mum to do such a thing and that thought only spurred her onwards.

Eventually, the last of the bystanders fell to her claws and all that remained was just their lifeless corpses, leaving just her. It’d been a nice warm up but she was certainly eager to move on and made her way towards the large staircase that would lead towards her next challenge. However, just as she was about to proceed to scales it, a door would burst open from her right and a group of royal looking guards would enter the room. They all wore the same glowing armour, wielding swords and other bladed weapons but Cierra was hardly intimidated and simply sprinted towards them, claws still drawn. She’d tap into her magic in order to boost her physical strength and speed, before unleashing an aggressive barrage against her foes, a wild animal in the midst of them.

The guards were pretty good but were rather slow with their attacks, making it rather easy for Cierra to just tap into her animal instincts. A discharge of lightning would suddenly burst forth from her, stunning those close to her and that was where many of them met their death. Once they were immobilised, it was simply a matter of striking them with a few slashes and the kill count soon started to go up again. There was a method to her madness and by combining her simple techniques together, Cierra was soon in mid flow, striking through armour, bone and skin. The yells and screams of the men and women soon began to burst forth from her foes, as one by one they collapsed to the ground. A particularly nasty blood infused punch caught the leader of the guards in the abdomen, followed by a lightning fused kick which sent him crashing into what remained of his men. To her surprise though, he still lived and would try and rouse his comrades, despite the futility of it all.

Giggling, she’d raise a hand towards him and unleash a barrage of lightning from her hand, causing him to screech and scream with pain. It was fun to watch him twitch and she kept the attack going for as long as she could, forcing him to the ground in pain, which she just chuckled to herself. Torture had never usually been her thing but as she’d grown as a mage, she’d started to take a liking to it it, now that she had some new tools to use. Oh, there was another purpose of course, as she hoped that his screams would lure one of the angels down to her but that was a bit of an afterthought. Pleasure first, as always. After a while, his screams sadly stopped though as he died, little more than just a charred shell now.

For a moment, she’d glance around at the absolute mess that she’d cause before grinning and proceeding to climb the staircase, desperate to run into one of the holy beings. She had to constantly remind herself of the names of the creatures, as one of them had to be taken alive but there were so many that it was difficult to remember which was which. Ah well, she was sure that she’d know when push came to shove and so she just happily began her trek through the castle, leaving blood and guts wherever she went and leaving the castle in a lovely shade of red.

There were a few humans walking among the higher reaches of the castle but Cierra didn’t even have to stop in order to kill them, simply slashing them as she sprinted passed. She could sense the angelic blood of those above and it was driving her wild with anticipation. So badly did the slayer want to drag them down from their perch and turn them into bloody stains and that desire was all that she was feeling. Killing those below had already set her off and with each kill, her ecstasy rose, showing all too clearly across her youthful features. She felt as if she was going to explode with emotion and lust and so the pink haired slayer began to dearly hope that she’d soon find a worthwhile target to unleash her madness upon.

Fortunately, luck was on her side and as she left a long corridor and began to sprint through what looked like a large ballroom, she’d come face to face with her first named target and her face brightened as her eyes fell upon her. The being in front of her had an almost identical hair colour to the dual slayer and Cierra knew just from appearance alone that this had to be Maya. A member of the magic council and the one that needed to keep alive, in order to witness the massacre. The woman wore a lovely pink dress with a dazzling pair of blue eyes although at the moment they were filled with nothing but anger and despair.

“What are you thinking by attacking us?” Maya shouted, “Do you have any idea what you have condemned yourself too by doing so? We hid ourselves way in the middle of this sea in order to live in peace and you have the nerve to charge in here and slaughter our worshippers? How stupid can you be?”

“Oh? I’m sorry, I didn’t know that you were guys were so scared that you hide out of fear,” Cierra replied with a giggle, “I thought that perhaps you’d at least be planning an invasion or something. I never thought that it’d be for such a boring reason like being afraid of people. What pussies. Oh well, I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised. The magic council is pretty much pussy central anyway, isn’t it? Hmm, that place doesn’t sound bad, now that I think about it a little...”

“Shut your filthy mouth!” Maya roared, her cheeks blushing bright red, “I was going to try and make you see reason but you can forget that now. I am going to take you out and bring you before the council in chains, you dirty minded animal.”

“One of us will be in chains but it won’t be me,” the slayer answered, laughing, “I need you alive, Maya, unlike the rest of your little band. I’ll treat you well, if you behave.”

Angrily, the magic council member raised her hand and unleashed a barrage of stars which started to hurl towards the over eager god. Cierra quickly had to move, rolling over and over again to avoid the blasts, before summoning a lightning javelin which she then hurled towards her foe. The projectile was blocked as Maya was able to get a shield up, however, she underestimated the effect of the javelin and it was able to pierce through and strike her, causing her to yell and scream as the pink eyed girl’s attack struck her. Giggling, the dual slayer would then charge forwards, surrounding herself with lightning and striking Maya with a massive volt tackle, hurling her backwards and skidding across the floor.

Pointing a hand towards Maya, Cierra would then unleash a torrent a barrage of lightning from her hand which soon had her enemy writhing on the floor, screaming in pain. It always amazed the goddess as to how it was always the weakest ones who talked the most crap and as she continued to shock her foe, she childishly shook her head, a beaming grin on her face. Tapping into her magic, she’d summon her lightning whip, which formed in her left hand. Finishing her lightning barrage, she’d only snigger more as the council member pulled her legs inwards, shaking like a leaf.

“Not quite so mouthy now, are you?” the slayer said cheerfully, “You should have done yourself a favour and kept that pretty mouth of yours closed. Now I guess I’ve got to punish you and make sure that you obey me during our time together. Stay still now.” With that, she’d take the whip and start unleashing a painful array of whip lashes across the cowering girl’s back and body, each lash accompanied by a static shock. The girl was soon shrieking again, desperately trying to roll out of the way of the lashes, to no avail. By the time that Cierra was finished, the magic council member’s dress  was in tatters and her body was certainly not flawless any more.

“That is enough,” Maya pleaded, “I will do whatever you want, just stop attacking me, please.”

Thinking about it for a moment, Cierra would crack the whip one final time but rather than it striking the woman, it would wrap itself around her frame, binding her arms and feet. Naturally, Maya tried to struggle but the moment she did so, a painful shriek would escape her lips as the bindings constricted, sending a nasty shock through them and her. She quickly stopped, realising what was best for her.

Amused, the slayer would walk over to the bound woman and turn her onto her back and kneel down beside her, so that they were face to face. “This is what’s gonna happen, Maya. I’m gonna kill every member of the council that resides here and every angel that protects this place. You’re gonna lay here and watch. If you do what I say and don’t cause any trouble then I won’t hurt you any more but if you make things difficult for me then I’m gonna have this whip cause you to start lighting up like a christmas tree. I don’t make threats, I make promises so don’t make me have to resort to that. I’d rather we be...,” she’d place her hand on the tied up woman’s cheek, “Closer. It’s your call, Maya.” It wasn’t mercy and it wasn’t a deception, just the truth.

Their eyes remained locked on each other for a moment, before Maya nodded her head.

“All right then,” Cierra went on to say, “Now, let’s…”

Before Cierra could utter another word, a blast of ice would suddenly strike her from above, causing her to suddenly freeze over, becoming locked in place. A winged figure would then fly in through the large double doors behind her.

Her next challenger had arrived.

“Am I glad to see you, Freezia,” Maya would happily say, “Please get me out of this thing, it is sending electric shocks throughout my body. I have no idea who or what she is but she certainly beat me in a hurry, be careful.”

“Do not concern yourself with her,” the new arrival answered, wearing a rather revealing blue and white dress, “I have received a report directly from the council about her whereabouts and intentions. She seeks nothing but the destruction of our world and the end of law. I will handle this little brat and then we will set about cleansing the castle. Now, let me see to that whip.” The woman would float over to the pink haired girl and attempt to remove the pink haired woman’s painful bindings, however, it was at that point that the ice statue behind her would slowly begin to crack, as Cierra broke free and sent ice flying everywhere.

“I think she looks lovely the way she is,” the slayer would say with a giggle, her hair and clothing dripping with water from her escape, her gaze focusing on her new foe “I’d do the same to you but sadly my job is to kill you and I’d hate to disappoint my employer. Only pinky is allowed to live I’m afraid so I’m gonna have to end your life now. Try and make it more of a challenge please as pretty Maya went down a little too easily for my liking but before we fight…” She’d quickly vanish and appear carrying a couple of potions, “I’m gonna have a drink, as it’s only fair that we fight at equal strength, yeah? You wouldn’t be the type to fight me after I’m already a little tired, would you?” Her tone was cheerful and bright but the look in her eye was rather more menacing. To have been sealed inside that ice had been rather trying and to be imprisoned for only moments had caused her to begin to lose control. “Besides, you must be punished for daring to try and take my freedom from me.”

Without another word, her hands and feet would begin to become surrounded by lightning and she would dash towards her opponent, wanting nothing more than to beat the lovely council member to a pulp. The ice mage would have other plans though and take to the sky, spin around in mid air and fire bullet like ice projectiles towards the dual slayer, forcing Cierra to summon a pair of wings herself and take to the sky. She wasn’t all that fond of aerial combat and was somewhat inexperienced but it was something she’d have to get used to, she supposed. Airborne, she’d aggressively evade the attacks, before launching a powerful blood fist towards her foe. It hurtled through the air and slammed into Freezia, knocking her backwards and leaving herself open for Cierra’s vampiric roar, which struck her directly, infecting her with its dreaded disease. It was a nasty spell and the effects would soon become known, as her pure white skin would soon become blotchy and bloody, much to her anger.

“How dare you infect me your disgusting magic,” Freezia spat with disgust, “I will make it that you will never leave here alive for that.” Delving into her magic, she would unleash a powerful blizzard that froze almost everything in front of it. All of the ball room would begin to freeze and Cierra had to react quickly in order to get out of the way. She flew upwards with as much speed as she could muster, before swooping into a powerful dive, using her volt tackle attack in mid air and slamming down on her foe, forcing them both onto the now icy floor. They landed with a sickening crunch but luckily for the slayer, she ended up on top, while Freezia lay winded beneath her. The ice mage’s wings had broken from the collision and as Cierra grinned down at her, she seemed to realise what was next and merely closed her eyes and looked away. Still bound, Maya could only look on with horror as the slayer began to rain down blows upon her foe, getting out her anger and rage towards her cowardly opponent with her fists. The ground would soon be covered with the blood of her foe although when the ice mage’s death came, it was not by a punch and instead Cierra pulled the woman’s face towards her, before leaning down and locking lips with her, draining the life force from her and killing her in that fashion. It was a fate reserved for very few but Freezia was fully deserving of it.

When it was done, she’d gleefully lean back and quickly swipe the potions that the council member had left behind, downing them in a moment in order to recover her strength again. She couldn’t help but wonder just where these lovely drinks came from and hoped that perhaps she could snag a few from the castle before it all came tumbling down. For now though, she had to focus on her mission and with that in mind, she turned to the tied up Maya, looking petrified at what she’d just seen and clambered back up to her feet. “Time for us to move on, I think. There are still more targets to kill,” she said with a chuckle, before walking over to the bound girl and picking her up, “Now, my beautiful little captive, you’re gonna watch me complete my mission and then I’ll let you go. If you behave yourself, my whip won’t hurt you but if you try and struggle then…” the whip would briefly tighten again, causing Maya to moan, “It will get more painful, we clear?”

“I understand but why do you want me alive?” Maya asked, blushing a deep red as she was held in Cierra’s arms, “You seem to be hell bent on killing everyone so why spare me?”

“To spread the word about what’s happened here,” the slayer said with a grin, “I want this to be known around the world. No more questions now though or I’ll gag you.”

With that, she exited the large ballroom from the opposite end of the room and continued on.

Dashing through the castle, Cierra carried her captive and continued to climb towards the very top, muttering the names of the remainder of her foes to herself in order to remember. With Maya and Freezia defeated, she knew that the next one would most likely be a male, unfortunately but there wasn’t much that Cierra could do about it. She did prefer to fight other women but she knew that she’d be able to take at least some pleasure out of beating this next fool nonetheless. Her employer had been incredibly detailed and had clearly done his or her homework on who she was going to face and the dual slayer couldn’t help but wonder if perhaps they had a spy somewhere among the castle although when she thought about it more, they could very well be dead by now, considering the amount she’d killed already. Oh well, it didn’t really matter that much to her.

As she climbed up yet another flight of stairs, the pair would come across a tall figure, sitting at the other end of the hallway, sitting in a chair of what seemed to be made of pure water. He was reading a book of some kind but as he noticed them, it would disappear into nothing and his gaze would fall upon them. “It is about time that you reached me, girl, as I was starting to get a little bored. I am Laken of the magical council and your little murder spree ends here. Release Maya and hand yourself over to me otherwise I will force you to your knees using my aquatic powers. I should simply kill you but I am feeling rather merciful today, make your choice quickly.”

Cierra just laughed, a loud chuckle that could be heard from every corner of the hallway, “You? Defeat me with water? I’ve spent my entire childhood training with the strongest water mage alive today. You don’t have a hope in hell of defeating me with that. Your magic will just be a conductor for my lightning and I’ve been looking forward to watching you fry. Freezia sends her love by the way or she would, if I hadn’t kissed it out of her when we fought. She tasted quite nice, you know.”

“Oh, lovely,” the male replied, standing up and getting rid of the water chair with a wave of his hand, “I imagine that you must be thoroughly enjoying yourself at the moment as you slaughter and toy with everyone you meet here. I take back what I said before, you are not deserving of mercy and I think that simply ending you here would be the most prudent option. Not just for the sake of those who remain in this council but the world as a whole. Having an animal like you roaming free is an insult to everything that humanity stands for and I will put you out of your misery, as well as freeing the world from your chaos.”

“Do you ever stop talking?” Cierra quipped at the idiotic male, before placing Maya on the ground beside her, “Stay here Pinky, I’ll be back for you in a second. Just need to kill this scum.” The galaxy mage just nodded her head and watched, not daring to speak due to the lightning whip that was still tightly tied around her.

Cierra didn’t wait any longer and simply unleashed a wave of blood that tore towards her foe, breaking every window that it passed and travelling fast. The water mage simply smiled and rose a hand, unleashing a wave of water in order to counter, resulting in a clash of liquid. For a few moments, the two spells just fought against each other, pure water against holy blood, before the water would turn red as Cierra’s spell would start to push forward, gaining momentum. With a giggle, the pink haired slayer would dash forwards and leap on top of the wave, riding it like a surfboard and pointing it onwards towards her foe. The water mage had to react quickly and create a water dome around himself which was just about strong enough to keep the blood wave out. Cierra would leap upwards just as the wave struck and unleash a powerful lightning blast down on top of the water barrier. The blast would electrify the water dome and begin to shock the council member inside, his own defence being used against him. His shrieks could be heard from all around and as the dome burst and as he emerged, he was beginning to smoulder, twitching uncomfortably from the occasional spasm of pain.

Unwilling to give up though, he’d fire a blast of water towards the descending mage but it lacked any real strength and Cierra simply opened her mouth an unleashed her lightning version of a slayer’s roar down upon him. It cut straight through the water and struck her target directly, using the water once more as a conductor and causing every nerve in his body to feel like they were on fire. With her enemy on the ropes, the slayer would drop down on top of him, her leg surrounding itself with energy and crashing down upon his head, forcing him to his knees. Giggling with glee, she’d follow up with a crunching blood enhanced punch to the side of his head which had enough force to knock him towards one of the broken windows.

“So ends your time among the council,” Cierra would utter with glee, before unleashing a skull shaped glob of blood that would fly towards her foe and strike with enough force that it went straight through. It would then return to the pink haired slayer, healing her. Laken would stare down in shock at what was left of his body, before his eyes would glaze over and he’d tumble out of the broken window, dead before he hit the ground. At the moment he passed on, a pair of potions would appear beside the dual slayer, which she would drink without a moment’s pause.

Clapping her hands happily, Cierra would skip back towards Maya and take her once more into her arms, “All right, onwards and upwards,” she said, briefly kissing the tied up council member on the cheek, who blushed deeply in response. With that, the seemingly endless trek continued, as the pair headed for the summit.

The end was in sight and Cierra could almost feel the end of her journey throughout the castle but just as she reached the final staircase, yet another figure would block her path. A male, clad in red and gold armour, wielding a large flaming sword which was currently pointed straight at her. There was a seriousness to him that she hadn’t felt from the others so far and he clearly seemed to be more powerful than those she’d already beaten. After wracking her brains for a moment, the name Caesar came to mind and she assumed that this must be him although by the looks of him, he didn’t seem too eager about introducing himself and instead simply barked down at her, his tone of voice patronising as hell.

“I commend you for managing to get this far but your run ends here, runt,” he said, starting to walk down the steps, “My partner and I have been watching your progress from the start and I must say that you are the most simplistic animal to have ever entered these halls. Your fighting style is that of a butcher with no style or strategy. That is not going to work from here on out and when I kill you here and leave your body to be eaten by the vultures and insects, perhaps then you will understand. Now, put down your hostage and let us finish this, saving the time of both of us and getting straight to the point.”

“Well, aren't you an arrogant piece of shit,” Cierra replied, “I guess I should have expected this kind of verbal diarrhea from you, as you guys do seem to love the sound of your own voices. Just looking at you makes me want to cut off that head of yours and use it as a football so let’s get to it.” Giggling at the thought, she’d carry Maya out of harms away and sit her up against the wall, “You know the drill by now, cutie, stay quiet and let me get rid of this next punk. It’s almost over now.” Tapping the girl affectionately on the cheek, she’d then move towards her foe, both her blood claws and body beginning to form around her, feeling her spells power beginning to flow through her. “Let’s do this, asshole.”

As soon as the fight started, she’d create a blood clone and send it hurtling towards Caesar, who seemed rather uncertain as to what to do with it and simply swing his flaming blade toward it. The effect was instant as the creature would blow up the moment he did so, saturating him with blood and knocking him over the staircase railing and hitting the ground hard below. Grinning, Cierra would move in quickly and launch a lightning infused kick to her foe, knocking him backwards and sending him crashing into what looked like an ancient set of armour, which would proceed to fall upon him. A fist of blood would soon follow from the dual slayer, slamming her foe back up against the wall and causing him to start to bleed himself.

Shaking his head, he’d stand back up and start to glow, the result of which would see his would heal. “Not bad kid but that is not going to be enough to take me out,” he boasted, “I am able to recover from any wound that you deliver so go ahead and keep battering me. Tire yourself out and see just how weak you are, I can take it all and respond in kind. It is only a matter of time.” Spreading his wings, he would then rise up and dash towards her, surrounding himself with flames  Cierra had to react quickly and would sink into the ground, turning into a puddle of blood, causing him to go over the top. As she resurfaced, she would create a lightning javelin and launch it towards him, striking him in the wing and causing him to crash to the ground as his charge spell ran out. Spasming as his body began to wrack with lightning, the slayer would grin wickedly and use her own charge spell, surrounding herself with her godly powers, before slamming into her foe with a powerful volt tackle. Forcing him backwards, Caesar would crash hard against the eastern wall and that was when things began to take a darker turn as Cierra began to viciously unload with her blood claws. Refusing to let him heal, she’d pummel him constantly, leaving bruises and cuts across any part of his body that he could reach. Her eyes dilating and her strength increasing by the moment. A powerful uppercut sent his head shooting upwards, opening himself up to receiving a vicious blow to his liver, before one final punch to his head would knock him down to the floor in a heap. It was her mother’s favourite combination and one that Cierra had happily adopted.

She didn’t stop though and just kept attacking, his grunts soon coming to a halt but making no difference to her. The girl just vented on him, throwing all of his empty words back at him, before delivering the most foul of insults. She would place a foot on his back, grasp his wings and then pull until they gave way with a horrific crack, leaving the girl holding what was left of him. The moment she did so, the castle would briefly shake, as one of its owners died, giving the pink haired girl all the encouragement she needed to.

“Another one bites the dust,” she chuckled, dancing with joy for a moment or two, “Just two to go.”

“Caesar?!” A voice would erupt from above, as the sound of a pair of double doors being hurled open could be heard and another winged figure would come into view, their face consumed with rage. A female, wielding a similar type of armour to Caesar, along with a massive spear now facing the pink haired girl. Her expression darkened even further as she noticed the body of the one that she shared ownership of the castle with. Turning to Cierra, she would simply say, “No words can express just how much hatred I feel towards you at this moment. Fight for your life.”

“At least let me have a little drink first,” Cierra replied with a laugh, picking up the potions left behind by Caesar and downing them without much thought. “I’ve been looking forward to facing you Genesis and perhaps I’ll hold off killing you for a bit and we can have some fun instead. Who knows? Maybe we can include Maya here as well and make it a night to remember.” The blood lust had well and truly set in now and the look in her eyes was wild, as though as she was a predator stalking her prey. “I honestly don’t know what you saw in that pompous ass, as he was the most dull and dreary piece of crap that I’ve ever seen. Please tell me that you didn’t actually fall for him? You’re far too good for him and a sexy woman all right.”

She might have continued but a flaming spear heading in her direction quickly forced her to abandon that idea and get out of the way. Giggling, Cierra would inhale for a moment or two and then spit blood into the sky, which would then form an area of the red liquid that surrounded the pair. Feeling her defences go up as she was touched by the lovely crimson blood, she’d then dash in close and start to attack from close range, striking with claw and fist, clattering against the woman’s defence and armour as the slayer pressed the attack. After fighting Caesar, she didn’t want to let the woman get a foothold and so decided on this. Her attacks were fearsome and she scored several direct hits on the woman’s breast plate. To Genesis’s credit though, she fought in a similar way, surrounding her fists with fire and exchanging blows, resulting in fire and lightning to erupt from both of them, a vicious fight.

Striking the half angel with a knee to the midsection, Cierra would grab hold of Genesis and throw her down the staircase, causing her to hit the floor hard at the bottom. The slayer would then raise a hand to the sky and cause a bolt of lightning to strike her foe, before infecting her with a disgusting blood vampire demon’s rage. Together, the attacks were formidable and Genesis was soon starting to feel the effects. Rather than give in though, the castle owner would summon her spear to her and start to spin it around, causing a powerful cage of fire to surround the pink haired girl, much to Cierra’s surprise. The heat was intense and the girl actually started to panic momentarily as she struggled to escape the spell. To be locked away had always been a fear of hers and as the flames began to swirl around and close in on her, she briefly looked petrified.

Yet that fear was soon thrown aside as she remembered her mother’s lessons and with a mighty yell, she’d briefly turn to blood and teleport out of the trap, reappearing behind the angel and striking with a powerful blast of blood to the woman’s back. Anger was always better than fear and as the emotion began to run rampant within her, Cierra could soon feel why. This angel had dared to rob of her freedom and there was only one answer to that. She would catch Genesis with a powerful blow to the side of the head, before striking her with a lightning roundhouse kick, followed by a blood enhanced punch, knocking the woman away. Desperately, the armour clad woman would try and launch a fireball towards Cierra but the girl simply evaded the spell and charged forwards, surrounding herself once more with lightning and launching herself into her foe, in an almost mirror like fashion to her fellow owner. The impact was immense and Genesis’s armour fell to pieces as she struck the wall, Cierra landing on top of her.

With the fire of anger still in her eyes, Cierra would then release a crimson coloured set of bindings that would wrap around the woman, immobilising her in a way quite similar to Maya. Her wrists were tied firmly behind her, while her ankles and knees were bound as well. She was completely at the mercy of the slayer although rather than kill her straight away, Cierra would place her lips beside the angel’s ear and mutter, “Let’s see how you like it when you’re helpless, huh?” Standing up, she would then deliver a few precise cuts with her claws although rather than aiming to do damage, it left Genesis exposed to the elements, much to her embarrassment and fury. Before she could utter a word. Cierra would make a motion with her hand and the bindings would wrap around the angel’s mouth too, muffling her complaints.

Cierra would then pick up the bound woman, allow her wings to once more grow from her back and fly through the closest window, carrying her quarry to the top of the castle. It was only a short trip giving how close they were and as the pink haired slayer on the roof and glanced over the edge, she couldn’t help but laugh at the bloody corpse that were littered at the bottom, those that she’d killed at the start, along with the body of Laken. “There’s no one left, Genesis and all that is left to do is bring this castle down which I am sure will be accomplished with your death. I wish you a happy afterlife.” With a grin, she’d place the half angel on the ground, before tying her down with a few more vampiric bindings and then taking a few steps back and raising a hand to the sky. With a mighty rumble, an enormous bolt of lightning would strike the bound woman, killing her with one muffled scream and causing the castle to suddenly shake violently as it reacted to Genesis’s death.

Swiftly, Cierra would fly back through the broken window in order to retrieve Maya, before flying away a safe distance to watch the castle collapse. She couldn’t help but feel a sense of pride as it did so although she knew there’d be one more task to complete. There was one more being to defeat and as a sudden bright light would shine on the remains of what had once been a holy building, the pink haired girl couldn’t help but grin. It was finally time to get her hands on a real angel, after all this time.

Dropping to the ground, Cierra would deposit Maya in a safe spot, albeit a little uncomfortably as the pink haired slayer added a few more bindings to the council member’s form, just to be sure she’d stay still. Maya knew that arguing was useless at this point and didn’t try to struggle, remaining quiet and passive, hoping that this whole disaster would soon come to an end. Once her captive was in place, Cierra would then fly over to meet her last foe and a wide grin crossed her face as the bright light faded and her opponent became visible. She was an angel all right and a lovely one at that although the look in her eyes was one of pure rage and disgust, which only caused Cierra’s heart to beat faster.

“You have destroyed my castle and in doing so, sealed your own fate,” the holy being snapped, “I am Angelicae, your executioner and the one who will send you to hell where you belong.”

There were no more words and the angel would instead launch a powerful blast of light towards Cierra, who would raise a hand and unleash a blast of blood in return, causing a clash of power as the two spells clashed. It seemed like an even contest and the pink eyed girl quickly ended it by teleporting a short distance, reappearing to the side of the angel and lashing out with a power slash, catching the angel’s arm and causing her to back up a little. With a scowl Angelicae would quickly engage again, creating a sword and shield or light and battling toe to tow with the slayer. It was odd how many of these so called superior beings ended up resorting to brawling, not that Cierra really cared, as it was just how she liked it. The two would clash again and again, fist against sword, foot against shield and claw against fist. It was a furious crap and Cierra loved every second of it. The angel was certainly more skilled than the others and the dual slayer picked up a few scratches of her own, including a long deep cut down the side of her face.

As the brawl ended and the two jumped apart, Cierra had the widest grin imaginable on her face and in her joy, unleashed her most powerful spell, causing her to take on the form of the thunder goddess herself. Her ears and hands would become catlike and her aura would crackle with lightning. Laughing like a maniac, she’d hurl an all mighty bolt of lightning towards her foe, grinning as Angelicae tried to defend herself against it, unaware of the fact that her attack was able to pierce. The bolt would go straight through the shield and strike her target, allowing Cierra to launch forward and deliver a mighty punch to the angel's face, causing blood to splatter from it and turning her flawless face into a bloody mess. She was sturdy though and the angel countered with a powerful light infused slash from her sword which hurled Cierra backwards, burning straight through her dress. It only spurred the girl on and she became more ferocious the longer the fight went on. The angel began to tire while Cierra’s energy seemed to increase, her blows soon starting to land more often. Combining her power of thunder and blood, she’d unleash a powerful roar attack that struck her target head on, with enough force to throw the angel backwards and cause her to slam into a tree, crumpling to the floor.

Dazed and disoriented, the angel would try and get back to her feet and in her confusion began to draw all of the light in the area towards her, baffling the slayer as what she was about to do. It was only when the sheer power of the angel’s aura registered with her that she understood and all she could do was brace as the Angelicae released the energy in one massive blast, creating a light so strong that Cierra had to cover her eyes, even with her enhanced senses. The power was immense and it was only thanks to her transformation that she wasn’t completely taken out although she was hit like a truck and sent hurtling back into the castle remains. For a few moments, there was only a dazzling light and it was only when it faded that things became clear.

Staggering to her feet, a weary slayer would take a few moments to gather herself before seeking out her foe and as she caught sight of the fallen angel, it soon became obvious as to what she’d done. The once beautiful Angelicae was now just a charred corpse, having attempted to kill herself, as well as Cierra. It was an annoying ending for the pink haired girl and the mage felt rather cheated that her prize had been taken from her but the task was done at least. The castle was destroyed, the council members were dead and the owners were too.

Eventually smiling, she’d wander over to the still dazed Maya and undo the bindings, as well as the whip and whisper into the girl’s ear, “It’s time for me to leave but remember what I said Maya. Tell everyone what happened here otherwise you’ll be seeing me again and I won’t be as merciful next time.”

With that, she’d leap into the air and begin the long journey home. Another successful mission under her belt.
