Chapter 1609 This is how it should be, right?

"This entrance is a bit too much, Haru..." Angela said with a speechless expression, wondering how she was going to talk about this to Edward.

"Calm down, just stay beside me, don't move around, or else I can't protect both of you," Haru said calmly.

Katya and Angela nodded after they heard Haru's words, especially when they knew how dangerous this battle was.

When they landed on the ground, Vasilisa sang the incarnation and wrote it down.

"I hereby inscribe! Frolic and gambol, the soldiers of lightning. O swift lightning, come a thousandfold! Existence is ephemeral! Revel at the moment and live for pleasure! Reduce everything to naught in the blink of an eye! Those who are late do not regret it! For tonight is a banquet of death! Perish. Perish. Perish. Perish. Purge all life. Find solace in salvation! Discard the weight of your feathers. Feel the sensation of soaring through heaven and earth. Kill, kill, kill, kill. Share with all this radiance, this uplift, this freedom, this joy! Oh, death, so sweet! Perish. Perish. Perish. Kill, kill, kill, kill. Tonight is a banquet of death!"

After Vasilisa ended her Dark Art, the thunder was screaming, and the dark could turn darker even more.

"This is my Forbidden Thirteen Step Dark Art: Celestial Crusaders. How will you fare against this army of lightning?"

Vasilisa laughed and didn't think that Haru was able to win against her.

In front of them, there were vast armies of lightning creatures ranging from subspecies of animals such as both tigers and lions on the ground, as well as anti-aerial creatures.

Katya and Angela's expressions became serious, and they were holding their weapons tightly since the pressure was given by Vasilisa's Forbidden Thirteen Step Dark Art was too powerful.

"Haru..."

"Kasugano..."

Haru had to admit that S Rank Savior was stronger than he had thought, and he believed that if the one who fought Vasilisa was Jeanne, then Jeanne might lose, considering how powerful Vasilisa was. But, unfortunately, Vasilisa's opponent was him. He thought for a while and decided to use that power.

Vasilisa stood on her manor, watching the scene in front of her indifferently since in her mind, Haru had already died, especially after he had molested her before in front of a lot of people so she wouldn't give him mercy, but...

"This...!?"

It wasn't the voice of Vasilisa, but the bodyguards around her, who exclaimed and were shocked when they saw the scene in front of them!

Thousands of lightning creatures ranging from subspecies of animals such as both tigers and lions on the ground and anti-aerial creatures were pulled to the center of the field as if there were something that pulled them there.

"....."

This scene was so shocking that they didn't know how to react for a moment.

"..."

Katya and Angela, who stood next to Haru, were at a loss for words since this guy was so powerful, right?

When these armies of lightning creatures appeared, Haru directly used his gravity magic to pull all of them, including the earth which happened to be there, then lifted it to the sky.

Haru had developed the "Strength Magic" that he learned from the world of Magi very well, and he could control the gravity itself, even though he wasn't as powerful as Kouha, however, his energy was bigger than Kouha, so even he used such big scale magic without hesitation and didn't even feel tired.

When these armies of lightning creatures were pulled by gravity, they were forced to form into a huge lightning sphere then it began compressing itself, crushing everything within.

*Crack!*

Space cracked, and Vasilisa's Dark Art disappeared.

"..."

Everyone was silent, and they were at a loss.

In truth, Vasilisa's Celestial Crusaders weren't weak, and it was mighty since it was able to demolish a Dreadnought-Class Metaphysical in a manner of minutes. She could also even remotely control it so she wouldn't need to be on the battlefield. In other words, this Dark Art was invincible, but Haru easily destroyed it.

When everyone was in shock, Vasilisa felt a bit sluggish by the scene in front of her. The earth was slightly hollowed because it was pulled by Haru's magic before, however...

"What are you dawdling for! Hurry up and attack him!"

Vasilisa ordered since she remembered that Haru wouldn't kill a person, so she thought when her subordinates attack him, she will use that chance to attack him with her strongest Dark Art!

But...

"...."

Everyone was hesitant since they didn't think that they could do anything about this monster, especially after seeing how Vasilisa's Dark Art was easily destroyed. Still, when they saw Vasilisa's expression, they knew that they needed to do it.

"Hurry up and attack him! Everything is for the Thunder Empress!"

Everyone gritted their teeth, then quickly ran in Haru's direction.

Katya, who saw what had happened before her, felt the cruelty of Vasilisa.

"Haru, please don't hurt them."

Katya knew that everyone was forced, so she hoped that Haru wouldn't hurt everyone.

"You don't need to worry. I won't hurt them."

Haru looked at everyone and shouted, "If you throw down your weapons now, I won't hurt you, and I will protect you from that woman!" He didn't need to use his power at this moment and only needed to use his mouth to stop them.

Everyone was startled and stopped when they heard Haru's words.

"Come here, if you follow me, then I will protect you," Haru said toward everyone. His words were simple, but it was so powerful. Everyone whose mind was sober quickly ran to him since they knew that he was very strong and the Thunder Empress was so cruel that they didn't want to follow her.

"...."

Angela and Katya were surprised that Haru could end this matter easily with his words.

"Yuli!"

Katya directly hugged her friend, who the Thunder Empress had taken, and both of them had a happy reunion, though Katya seemed to whisper something to Yuli, which caused her to blush for some reason.

Haru, of course, heard all of that, but he ignored it since it seemed that Vasilisa had decided to use all of her power to defeat him.

"Celestial Crusader!"

Unlike the previous Celestial Crusaders, the one which Vasilisa had just released had the shape of an enormous faceless lightning titan measuring to be ten meters in height!

"A lightning..."

"Titan!"

Everyone once again felt nervous with Vasilisa since this Dark Art was very scary!

As this enormous faceless lightning titan walked, it sank the earth, causing a small earthquake on each of its steps!

When they thought that the situation couldn't get worse, this faceless lightning titan gathered a large amount of energy on its fist, and they were sure that their existence would disappear once this attack hit them!

"Haru!"

Angela was very nervous at that moment, but then, she might not forget the scene in front of her in her entire life.

Haru then made a movement as if he grabbed onto something, and when he did that, it felt like the air, earth, space, and everything was trembling!

"Island Shaking!"

Haru's hands were full of veins. Then he pulled everything!

*Crack!*

Using this ability, Haru tilted the entire land, causing everything to be destroyed. Even so, everyone, who was standing beside him, was standing there, without being affected by this ability, but they were in shock since they were afraid that entire Russia might be destroyed when they saw what had happened in front of them!

The force pulled the faceless lightning titan, then it was pressed to the ground before it dissipated.

Vasilisa, who stood on the manor, couldn't stand her broken manor, only sat on her destroyed manner sluggishly, unable to comprehend what was happening in front of her.

"....."

The battle ended, but no one could say anything since the power which Haru showed was too shocking.

Haru then walked, and when he walked, everything started to return.

"....."

The land, grass, trees, everything around the area which was destroyed by his ability returned to how it was.

In truth, when Haru used "Island Shaking" before, it only affected a small part of this city, and the earthquake didn't affect the entire city at all. Hence, there was no need to worry since, unlike Whitebeard, his control over his ability was very good.

Vasilisa was sitting there in disbelief, but she looked up and saw him standing in front of her. Her mouth was trembling, and she wasn't sure what to say for a moment, but one thing for sure, she wanted to stay alive!

"It's pretty pathetic that no one has come to protect you now," Haru said while looking at Vasilisa, and he had to admit that this woman's end was pretty tragic.

"I...." Vasilisa wanted to say that she hadn't lost it yet, but when she saw how Haru could destroy everything then returned it to how it was, she clearly understood the gap of power between them.

"I... I.... I can serve you! I - I won't do something like this again!" Vasilisa couldn't even say anything, but she gritted her teeth and was finally able to say what she wanted, but then her chin was lifted.

"If you're a man, then I might kill you right away. But, fortunately, you're gorgeous," Haru said with a smile.

"I...." Vasilisa blushed, but...

"But I still have to slap your butts."

Haru then picked Vasilisa on his shoulder.

"Wait! Don't do this in this place! Let me maintain my dignity!"

Vasilisa didn't mind her butts being slapped, but at least she didn't want it to happen in this open space.

"Well, that's true."

Haru also didn't want to show Vasillisa's cute side to everyone. "Where's your room?"

"What?! I... I think that is still too early, at least, let me prepare myself..."

"What are you thinking all day? You pervert." Haru knocked Vasilisa's head helplessly.

Vasilisa blushed, holding her head, grumbled, then guided him to where she lived.

"...."

Looking at how close Haru and Vasilisa were, no one was sure how to describe their feelings at this moment.

"Wait, Haru!" Angela quickly chased after Haru.

"I will go with you! Yuli, come with me!" Katya then quickly chased after Angela since she was afraid if Haru and Vasilisa became together, then... she wasn't sure about the future of Russia in the future.

"Wait, Katya!"

"..."

Everyone, who was being left behind, looked at each other, but their future would be alright, right?
