Eternity Foxx: The Rise To Eternal Knowledge 8 Ch 8: New Resolve

I'm not use to how my wings work with their new size. I'm about to find out soon enough.

With one step I was in front of the Devil. It's size is terrifying, and its quick enough to block my first attack.

These wings are better in a fight now. I'm able to attack, and run with almost no effort.

The dagger is perfect size for me to handle. Now that it's lighter to swing. I can swing it with good accuracy.

I'm no match for it in strength, and that is becoming an issue. I'm pretty much annoying it at this point.

"Grow your righteousness!"

The King's words came to my mind just then. I can't give up just on the difference in strength, and size. I have to fight my way out of this one.

If this dagger can read my resolve. Then it should respond to what it is I want. I want to win! I won't accept any losses this time.

"Raaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh" the Devil cried out.

I think it's going to get serious now. That means I need to do the same. I refuse to be the one that fades away from this place.

Light like none I have seen on this side of the wall was coming from the dagger now.

I bet this feeling I have right now is what they call "righteousness!" This is a feeling I will not forget.

I'm happy that this Devil is by itself. If not I would have had no choice other then run. I don't have to run as much anymore. I like this righteousness stuff!

At that moment something fell from the wall. I couldn't see what it was at first. It fell in between me and the Devil. It's got that royals aura all over it.

If I win this fight maybe he will come speak with me. Things have gotten interesting for sure. Working for The King is starting to be fun. I see why the Angels obey His orders.

I went for the object that fell, but so did the Devil. I'm faster then it is though so this will be easy.

I reached the object first, but it's not like I was worried about that. The problem is moving away fast enough to look at it before the Devil can grab me.

f.u.c.k, it's quicker then before! Do the Devils get double the strength from being p.i.s.sed? How is that even fair?

I knew that p.i.s.sing them off made them hunt you. I didnt know they can become that much more dangerous.

A direct hit to my side, but the object was there. It took most of the damage for me. This things useful I see.

It was some kind of item with an aura on one side, and something to grab on the other. I'm not sure how it didn't break when it took that hit.

Another attack already?! I lifted the object to stop the attack. Again it took the force for me.

I guess I hold onto this side, and use the other side to stop it's attacks. The aura coming from the other side must be how it can stand the hits. It looks like nothing happened to the thing at all. The Angels sure do have some fun things on their side of the wall.

After I went with that idea of how to use the item. It started to glow, and my body moved on it's own for a brief moment.

The dagger and this item must know each other. They are working together to show me what I need to do.

The new item goes in front of me to stop attacks, and the dagger wants to sit behind that. It's pointing right at the Devil too. "Grow your righteousness" He said.

I know you are watching me right now King. I don't know from where your watching, or how you can speak to me from where you are. I have questions for you King. I know you can hear my mind some how.

If righteousness is what will get my questions answered. Then I will grow it like no one has ever grown before. I don't care if i have to become consumed by it.

"Be careful what you do with righteousness. Being consumed by it will destroy you." The King's voice came from out of the darkness again.

Another direct hit, and this one got to me.

"What the f.u.c.k?! Now you want to talk to me!" I shouted back to Him.

It really was a bad time to come from out of nowhere. That small distraction was enough to make an opening for it. I wasn't fast enough to get the item in the way completely.

No response, just like the last time He talked to me. This guy must find me amusing like the royal did. I bet He is laughing at me right now too.

Keep laughing, and keep watching. I will get the feel for these items. The weapon is mine to wield, and this other thing is coming along well.

We exchanged attacks for quite awhile before I felt tired. Getting some rest before leaving my area was a good idea.

This thing won't let up one bit. The dagger is nothing to swing no though. This other item is holding out too. Plus it's weight has gone down since I first picked it up.

I'm able to use it better now that I have been fighting with it. I can stop it's attacks pretty well.

My wings are far more of use to me now that I have a handle on their new power. I don't think I can get as high as the royal did, or fly yet. It almost feels like they have grown during this fight.

Righteousness is a good thing to have. It helps you fight, and gives you abilities. I think I'm faster on my feet too. I haven't had to use my wings as much.

"Grow your righteousness young one!" The King screamed out this time.

"I'm trying to, but you're not helping

!" I shouted back to Him.

The King is really serious about growing isn't He? I haven't actually started working for Him yet. Here He is screaming at me from His throne. That's most likely where He is watching this from.

Amus.e.m.e.nt for The King must be what I am. Well He better have at least a few answers for me.

Everything got heavier just then. Did I lose my righteousness when I said that in my mind?

"I'm sorry don't stop me now please!" I pleaded with Him.

A direct hit, and I couldn't stop it at all. I was knocked far from the items. The King doesn't play when it comes to yelling back at Him.

I need to be able to use those items to survive. He put me in a corner, and I can't do s.h.i.+t about it!

My knees! Last time He sent me to my knees before letting me go. I have to tey that. To my knees I went.

"Kimg Creator, can I please use the items to fight for myself?"

I guess this is what prayers are really. This has to work out, or I'm going to fade away like the others.

That's when the royal appeared again. He stopped another Devil like it was nothing. That was a prayer, and he was sent to me again!

These guys aren't that bad.

"So I see you found some righteousness. You also learned a better way to pray. Such an interesting outsider you are."

This guy just has a way of getting to me in a bad way. Just like his Father I see he has the ability to p.i.s.s you off when he helps you. I'm to happy to say anything now though.

"I don't think your Father gave me a choice in the matter. If I wanted to use the items to survive. I needed to do what He was asking me."

No reason to fight with him. He was definitely stronger then me.

"I was doing just fine until He interrupted my fight."

I probably would have been the next thing to fade away in this place. I can't let him hear that come from me. He will just laugh at me again.

"I'm sure those items over there were going to be greatly useful to you just now. The keen sense of yours would have found a way to use them I bet."

This guy is an a.s.shole.

"I don't know if you was watching, but I was in the middle of that plan when you came."

I won't let him just say whatever he wants. Even though he was right. I had no way of getting to them in time even if I was able to use them again. I wonder if he can hear my mind too.

"Did He send you to me again?

He looked at me with a smile on his face. What was he so happy about?

"No, I was watching the whole time. When I saw you take the hit, and then a.s.sume the position for a prayer. I decided to come down, and help you out. Did you not pray for help just then?"

What the h.e.l.l is he talking about? I was asking to help myself just then.

"No you a.s.shole! I was asking to be able to use the items again. Your Father stopped me in the middle of the fight."

"I thought that you came because I wasn't allowed to use them again."

This guy really thinks I made a prayer to have him help me. He likes his job way too much.

"I thought Angels don't answer the prayers from outside the wall." Time to change subject.

"We don't, that's another reason I'm interested in you. My Father has a liking for you, and I want to study you."

This a.s.shole is something else. Does he think he can just order me to be has study thing? His Father might be able to stop me, but I'm not sure he is allowed.

"Your Father can have a liking all He wants. Are you "allowed" to have one yourself?"

I think that might have p.i.s.sed him off some. The look in his face is not a good look.
