20. No Skill

“Yes, I cannot use my Skills. Or at least, I cannot use any of my active Skills. So that’s why I can’t just end this battle with the wave of a hand even if I wanted to.”

The Archangel snorted as Edithe’s head spun in confusion. She opened her jaw, but a blast of iridescent light shot out from the regenerating form of the Matriarch Centinel.

But the attack bounced off the sphere of protection protecting Iudex.

“What does that mean? How does that make any sense? I thought everything went fine with the vesselization process!”

“Everything went as fine as it could’ve gone— but that doesn’t mean the vesselization process never came with any downsides, you damn fool!”

The Archangel rolled its eyes back at Edithe. All she saw was the sky for a moment, before its gaze focused back down at the Matriarch Centinel rising from the ground.

Iudex continued.

“Did you not see what happened to Soli during our brief battle? That is the reason why I cannot use my Skills.”

“What happened to the Spirit Lord…?”

Edithe repeated after the Archangel for a moment, trying to recall the events that transpired not too long ago. It was a brief battle. Iudex had been completely overwhelmed by Soli’s power. But when it was over…

Edithe’s eyes grew wide when she realized what the Archangel meant.

“You’re saying my body is too weak— that it’ll be destroyed if you use your Skills.”

“Yes.”

The Archangel closed its eyes, and darkness engulfed the sky of this inner world which contained the redhead’s soul. She stared up there for a moment as she processed this. Then she opened her mouth.

“Wait, but you didn’t tell me anything about this—”

Edithe protested, only for the Archangel to snap as its eyes opened once again.

“I didn’t even want this, you damn Human! Stop complaining! It was me who spoke with you, not me!”

“I…”

Edithe didn’t even know how to respond at this point. She just looked on as the Matriarch Centinel flew back towards a mountain in the distance.

“Then how are we going to win?”

Edithe finally asked after gathering her thoughts. She was confused— uncertain about this entire ordeal— so she focused only on solving the problem at hand.

“Because I don’t think we’re defeating the Matriarch Centinel this way.”

After all, the Matriarch Centinel was going to continue regenerating from Iudex’s attacks. And while Edithe wasn’t entirely sure what was going to happen if this kept up, she could safely assume that her body wasn’t capable of the same type of regeneration, considering what the Archangel had just mentioned.

And if Iudex faltered just once…

We’re going to lose, Edithe thought as she gritted her teeth.

The Archangel waved a hand dismissively as it stepped forward, facing the Matriarch Centinel in the distance.

“Look, I’ve got this handled. Now shut up and let me fulfill my end of our deal.”

As Iudex spoke, the Matriarch Centinel’s entire body began to misshapen. Edithe’s eyes grew widen, seeing the way the mountain in the distance distort and collapse. Even though the redhead wasn’t capable of using a Grand Skill, she was more than certain that had to be one.
