Wudang: Legends Of Qi Earth 194 Vatican City II : Golem

Alex wasn't surprised, of rather he was surprised, but this was Within his expectations. He just didn't think he would have to deal with Saint Peter...not that he knew who he was or anything, but the dude sounded pretty important. Cross was looking at him weirdly, cater all he had made a somewhat unmanly sound when the very dead saint walked through her body. He wanted to reassure her, but the spirit in front of him demanded his full attention, he seemed to have a lot to say.

"For your task, you're required to save and rescue the arch-angel that greedy humans have kept captive here for over twenty years. This angel was sent here on a task, however he was captured by the humans he was sent to help, and kept behind to be used as an experiment and a cure all for diseases. It's his divine blood and glory that's being drained, you are to save him.

Angels are considered spirits, holy spirits! And you defend all spirits do you not? It would be preferable if you rescue him at the earliest convenience and keep him safe until he has regained all of his glory. His time on Earth has left his glory murky and tainted, he must rediscover the path of righteousness before the gates of heaven would be open unto him once again. I believe it wouldn't take too long, he's the most important angel under the command of the father.

There's no time to waste, the obelisk is the focal point of a formation that's used to keep him bound in a crypt below that church, right over where my mortal flesh is buried. You would not be able to free him unless you either deactivate the formation or even easier destroy the obelisk.

There's no finesse required for this, smash through them and complete the task the Lord has given to you, his blessings and favor would go with you. And as for the prophecy, should you survive, then it will be yours. May God's goodness and mercy follow you, all the days of your life."

And then he was gone, which was weird, but considering he appeared in very much the same manner, Alex couldn't complain about it. But never the less there was a task to be carried out. Now normally he would not just carry out such a task, it was as strange as strange could get. Some ancient dear spirit would just show up in front of you with a task from God, what were the odds of that happening.....zero! Yet here he was, right in the middle of such a situation, turns out he's actually a magnet for the weird and unexplainable.

"Cross come on, we're going back to the obelisk, and you might want to put your mask on, we're about to do something criminal."

She looked quite surprised at that, but he was still the boss, so she quickly slipped her mask on and hurried back to the square where the obelisk was standing tall and proudly. Alex once again felt a weird feeling from it, there was just so much purity, and at the same time so much dirt and darkness, like someone's soul or rather consciousness was being bound. Alex shook his head as he sent a telepathic message to Khan.

(Get Louis and hurry back to square with the obelisk, make sure he's wearing a mask and you're nothing but wind in the eye of everyone else.)

(Nameless) appeared in Alex's hand, vibrating in intensity as Alex slowly bent his knees and faced the Obelisk. By this point he had already drawn attention to himself, and Cross was fidgeting around as a lot of eyes were now settling on the masked couple, but Alex didn't care, he made his move Swiftly.

(Wind God Martial Series: Weapon: Zephyr's Ascension!)

*Booom!*

Lightning and thunder blasted out loudly as the pavement beneath his feet was smashed to pieces and his body nothing more than a hour rushed towards the obelisk. But he didn't even get close enough as six feet from the Obelisk, a barrier appeared, intercepting Alex's spear Strike. But even that wasn't enough as the barrier sustained numerous cracks in the very moment. It was shocking, some of the people in square ones about that barrier, they knew it would be hard for even someone in the heaven gate to out a dent on it.

But it wasn't as if Alex was stronger, he just had spirit energy that was able to cause resonance and dissonance with any kind of energy in existence, Alex took five steps back, stomping his feet into the ground to bring his momentum to a halt as he turned around and noticed a couple of city guards coming up behind them. He needed a little more time to break through the barrier, so those guards had to be kept back.

"Devonte! Cross! Keep those guards off me, buy me some time, but don't kill anybody!"

"Yes Master!"

"Yes Tower Master!"

 Devonte rushed forwards, his daggers appearing in his hands as massive roots dug their ways out of the ground and towards the guards, Cross followed close behind her tower shield in her hand as she leaped into the air and brought the shield smashing into the ground, creating a shockwave that brought the guards to a halt, giving Devonte's roots just enough to smash into their formation. And then it devolved from there, as they started fighting the guards, while Alex swung his spear at the barrier, increasing the cracks on it by the second.

Funny thing about this entire situation was the fact that all of the onlookers hadn't moved on, they just stood there watching on at the show in front of them. Safe to say it left Alex pretty pissed, did they think he was joking, weren't they supposed to be running every which way screaming bloody murder, why the heck we're they so calm. In his annoyance, Alex gave a harder swing than usual and smashed through the barrier, he was about to proceed to smash the Obelisk, when it suddenly grew hands and smacked him away.

"Master!"

*Crash!*

Alex smashed through one of the windows on a villa directly opposite the north end of the Obelisk, he mowed through a few furniture before finally going through a couple of walls, ending up smashing into a bathroom and on a toilet seat. He was pretty pissed by now, especially since an Obelisk growing arms wasn't something the oh so blessed Saint Peter had remembered to fucking mention! Alex picked himself up and walked outside, and just in time too as the Obelisk completely changed its shape into a massive stone giants with glowing energy wings, Alex spat to the side as he whispered softly.

"It's a fucking golem! Fucking saints and their Incomplete information!"

Alex jumped out of the building he had been thrown through, he ignored the blood dripping from the side of his head as (nameless) shook from where it had fallen after Alex was but by the golem.

The spear flew into his hands as he pulled it back and threw it straight at the back of the golem, just before it could sink into the golems back, a black cyclone rushed into the square and slammed into the chest of the golem, pushing it back as Alex's spear found purchase in it's back.

A massive thorn vine made of energy surged out of the ground, stabbing through the leg of the twenty foot tall golem, pinning it in place as Louis's golden form flashed past the body of the golem, light spilling from it's side as Alex drew closer with his fist clenched.

But the golem was not content to just stand there and be their punching bag, it clapped both hands together, creating a massive blast of energy that not only three them back, but also demolished quite a few villas around. It was in that moment that the people watching knew that shit had hit the fan.

They had previously expected the golem to end things quickly and in a low key manner, the fact that the obelisk was a golem was an open secret, but it wasn't something that was publicized. If you came to the city and stayed there beyond three days, the topic would come up eventually and you would know, but right now, this group of masked assailants were actually making the golem spend some effort, it would be best to give them some space before Innocents get caught up in the cross fire.

Either way Alex, Louis, Devonte and Khan were not in a pretty shape, the energy blast was painful and none felt it more than Khan. The energy was of the holy attribute, it was pure and untainted, even if it wasn't at it's peak. Somehow this golem was being powered by the survey of the angel and it was still the focal point of the formation being used to keep him bound. With the energy of Angel, Khan that was part demon and overall a spirit that was just bad news, would find himself incredibly weak to it. Holy energy dealt with anything negative, and Khan was all kinds of negative.

Cross was the only one still standing, her tower shield had protected her, in fact it had spread to both sides, looking like the wings of white and the cross in the middle that was a broad sword was held in her other hand. The tower shield was two meters tall and equally as wide, how she was able to carry such a large shield shouldn't be that much of a surprise since she was Knight, more specifically a Paladin. But Alex forged that shield, he knew how heavy it's transformed form was, especially with that massive broad sword in hand, but the weight aside, it was the crazed grin on her face that gave the males of the group pause.

"mwahahahahahaha! Yes! Is that all you got! Come on! I'll bathe in your blood you Infernal creature of stone and light! I am Minerva Crucifixio! And I sentence you to dieeeeeeeeeeee! Hahahaha Hahahaha!" Khan turned his furry head in Alex's direction and called out through the telepathic bond.

(Master she's gone crazy!)

Alex blinked his eyes, as Louis came besides him and watched just as he was as Cross attacked the Golem, then Louis opened his mouth and said.

"She's no paladin young Master, she's a fucking Berserker!"
