Chapter 431 "Molding Angel"

"Did you notice, Aize?"

La Fria, who had silently drawn her spell gun, spoke up.

"It's impossible not to notice, isn't it?"

Aize responded in a very calm tone.

At that moment, both of them sensed that a very ferocious being was unleashing its power recklessly into the world while rapidly approaching them.

So, the two of them turned their heads at the same time and looked in the direction from which the fierce aura was coming.

There, the first thing to appear was a ray of light.

Like a beam of light, it first streaked across the night sky at incredible speed, flying towards this direction, and then stopped above Azera Fria, revealing its form.

"------!"

The moment they saw the figure in its entirety, both Azer and La Fria's pupils constricted sharply.

Simply because the being that revealed its form was simply too incredible.

At first glance, she looked like a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl, petite with slender limbs, wearing a tight-fitting suit similar to a combat uniform that perfectly outlined her body curves.

However, this petite girl has a pair of ugly wings on her back, covered with blood vessels and extremely asymmetrical. Her exposed slender limbs are also covered with strange geometric patterns. On her face, she wears a sinister mask engraved with countless eyeball patterns, making the girl's image appear evil and abnormal.

Despite her bizarre and evil appearance, the aura and power emanating from the girl were pure, holy, and utterly sacred.

"Angel……?"

Aize uttered the name subconsciously, but his tone was filled with hesitation.

Judging from its appearance and aura, it does indeed resemble the legendary angel.

However, the strange atmosphere and eerie appearance were far removed from the legendary angels, and even made people think of demons.

An angel with an angelic aura and power, yet with a bizarre and evil appearance... This is the being that appeared before Azera Fria.

"Modeling an angel..."

La Freya murmured, her expression somewhat unpleasant.

“As expected, the entity that attacked the armored airship I was on, causing me to end up here, was the Model Angels,” La Fria said in a deep voice. “They… were actually created.”

As soon as the words were spoken, the eerie angel in the sky began to move.

"Kyriiiiiiiiiiii——!"

She opened her mouth beneath the mask and let out a sharp hiss.

It was a cry that no human vocal cord could produce, a sound both heart-wrenching and sacred.

"Om-"

A power that was neither spiritual nor magical, yet far more powerful and of a higher level, gathered in the hands of the eerie angel and transformed into light.

The next second, the winged monster released a dazzling flash of light, as if it were releasing a purifying flame that could burn everything, causing the flash to explode in mid-air and turn into countless beams of light that covered Azera Fria.

The attack was so dense, like a rain of light, that it instantly filled Azer and La Fria's field of vision, leaving them with no way to avoid it.

Without hesitation, Aize scooped up La Fria the moment the rain of light fell, and vanished from the spot in a flash.

"Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang...!"

As the rain of light fell, the ground of the uninhabited island exploded as if it had been hit by missiles, sending dust, rubble, and other debris gushing into the sky like geysers.

"Swish!" "Swish!" "Swish!"...

Azer carried Raphlia in a princess carry, his figure shifting and flashing as if he were teleporting, constantly changing position and dodging the incoming rain of light.

"Kyriiiiiiiiiiii——!"

Upon seeing this, the eerie angel immediately let out a screech, flapped its wings, and sped off at incredible speed, chasing after Azer.

As it flew, the angel's wings continued to release distorted, wave-like blades of light, which struck Azer one by one.

"interesting."

Aize raised an eyebrow and didn't hesitate. Silver short blades appeared around him, turning into streaks of silver light and rushing forward.

"Pfft!" "Pfft!" "Pfft!"...

The simulated space-cutting technique of the Hundred-Type Heavy Armor Demon-Slaying Blade is indeed very powerful. With the three techniques working simultaneously, the holy attack of unknown origin was immediately blocked. It was either cut off on the spot or bounced off by the spatial rift, falling in all directions and turning into scorching flames that burned down the forest and beach below.

In the blink of an eye, flames soared into the sky on this uninhabited island with a maximum diameter of less than two kilometers.

The silver daggers that had severed the incoming beams of light shot swiftly toward the eerie angel, landing on it shortly afterward. Then... one after another, the silver daggers seemed to have struck empty air, piercing through the angel's body without exception.

The eerie angel encountered no resistance whatsoever, ignoring the silver daggers and continuing its flight towards Azer.

"Kyriiiiiiiiiiii——!"

Soon after, the angel caught up with Azer, who was teleporting with Raphtalia in his arms. As he hissed, he gathered a blade of light, which appeared in his hand.

She slashed at Aize without any mercy, aiming directly for his head, clearly intending to kill him.

"Sixty-one of the Binding Dao: Six-Stand Light Prison."

Aize activated a high-level binding spell that abandoned incantation, causing six beams of light to shoot from all directions and lock onto the eerie angel.

However, the eerie angel still ignored Azer's attack. It was as if an invisible barrier had opened around him, allowing the six beams of light to pass through without touching the angel itself.

The eerie angel's strike immediately came down.

"Pfft!"

Aize, who was holding Raphtalia, was immediately cut off.

But in the next instant, another Azer, holding Raphtalia, appeared behind the eerie angel.

"Oh!"

The powerful kick landed on the angel's back, sending the angel flying like a ball.

Unfortunately, the attack still couldn't do any damage to the angel. The angel quickly regained its footing and continued to unleash a deluge of light upon Azer.

"Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang...!"

Countless dazzling beams of light struck the ground, triggering a massive explosion that unleashed tremendous destructive power, shattering the hard rock bed and igniting bursts of crimson flames that ravaged the entire uninhabited island.

"They really are unscrupulous."

Aize continued to dodge using the Instant Step technique, occasionally interspersed with the Sound Transformation technique to teleport, thus managing to avoid every single incoming barrage of light.

If things continue like this, regardless of whether Aize will be in danger, this uninhabited island will definitely not be saved and will be destroyed.

"Please be careful with it."

La Fria, who had been held by Aize the whole time, spoke calmly.

"That model angel has gradually entered a higher dimension than the ordinary world. The barrier that has opened up around her is a barrier between dimensions. No matter how powerful the attack is, it cannot penetrate the dimension and attack her, which theoretically does not exist in this world."

Clearly, La Fria knew that angel very well.

Actually, Aize is pretty much the same.

At least, he wasn't unfamiliar with the existence of this strange angel before him.

The so-called "manufactured angels" are actually a technique, a kind of artificially cultivated high-dimensional life form.

In this world, there are indeed beings called angels, but they do not possess will and exist in a higher dimension, just like natural phenomena such as light and heat.

The creation of angels is a magical ritual designed to transform people into angels. It is a secret procedure that allows individuals who complete the ritual and meet the conditions to ascend to become true angels and ultimately ascend to higher dimensions.

Naturally, once a person becomes an angel, they become an existence without will, like natural phenomena such as light and heat. The so-called sublimation is actually equivalent to disappearing from this world and becoming a pure higher-dimensional phenomenon.

Today, a well-known company whose business is deteriorating has resorted to this mysterious ritual when it was desperate. It is attempting to artificially cultivate powerful angels and sell them as weapons to countries around the world.

The two unregistered demons who appeared on Itogami Island were actually prototype angels being cultivated.

The creation of artificial angels is essentially the application of poison. The experimental subjects implanted with the technique kill each other, devouring the spiritual core of their opponents through battle and merging it into their own. Ultimately, they are cultivated to enhance the spirituality to the highest limit of the human body, causing it to evolve. The last experimental subject born in this way is something that is closer to God than a human, that is, an angel.

That's why the two fabricated angels fought fiercely on Itogami Island. The last one won and left, attacking the armored airship of the Kingdom of Aldegia, while the other was defeated, arrested, and is now being held captive on Itogami Island.

The strange angel that appeared on this deserted island was one of the prototype angels being trained, or rather, an unfinished prototype angel.

Although it was not completed, the opponent already possessed a portion of the power of an angel. Not only was he in a higher dimension, allowing him to ignore all attacks that affected the mortal world, but he could also manipulate divine energy to fight.

Divine energy, an energy that only angels and gods can control, exists directly in higher dimensions and is a power that is more advanced than spiritual power and magic.

It possesses the effect of warding off evil spirits and can also play a certain special role; it is a power that neither humans nor demons can control.

"Kyriiiiiiiiiiii——!"

The unfinished angel replica—the fake angel—let out a sharp, monstrous cry, constantly squandering high-dimensional power, gathering divine energy, and forming an overwhelming beam of light that enveloped Azer.

Seeing this, Aize narrowed his eyes.

"Looks like I'll have to take this a little more seriously."
