Chapter 702: Alina was Saved by …?
"No! Something's hiding in the Heart of Demon and it can defeat our Angel's Light!"
"We'll become fallen angels once our Angel's Light has been corrupted by the Heart of Demon!"
"This is a trap! It's luring us in! Run!"
"Save me! Please, save me!"
An angel was surrounded by black demon energy, continuously pouring into his body, causing his whole body to tremble. The brilliance was like a candle flame flickering in the wind. His face was twisted and he was crying for help. The next moment, his wings turned black, his eyes became as deep as black holes, his breath suddenly changed, and a cold tyrannical breath came out from his body.
"Power, I want power! I want to follow in the footsteps of Lord Devil and seek unparalleled power!" He slowly turned his head and looked at his former comrades.
The angel was trying his best to resist the devil aura, flapping his wings in the black gas, trying to rush out.
"Come into your new master's arms!" The angel was knocked into the air by a palm. Unable to resist anymore, he was swallowed up by the devil aura. More and more angels turned black, abandoning their Angel's Light, becoming fallen angels in the end.
The face of Lord Angel was full of anger and anxiety. He watched the group of angels' white wings turn black, watched the angels and fallen angels fighting to the death, and a coldness rose from the bottom of his heart.
"Mosha, what did you do?" He roared in anger. Unparalleled power poured into the Holy Light Sword in his hand as a dazzling brilliance soared into the sky. Then, it slashed the black sky into two.
The light shone, and it was as hot as a flame, causing the group of fallen angels to scream and they started to retreat.
"Fall back!" Lord Angel gritted his teeth and led the surviving angels back to his palace.
However, while retreating, a pair of huge black wings suddenly appeared! The black wings stretched out like a cloud hanging from the sky, blocking their way of retreat. In the darkness, a pair of scarlet eyes gleamed coldly with an unparalleled sense of oppression. He walked out step by step.
The group of fallen angels knelt on one knee and in unison, they said sincerely, "Greetings, Lord."
Lord Angel looked at the fallen angels, his eyes red and full of regret. Staring at the black figure, he hoarsely said, "Mosha!!!"
"Tianhua, I said I'd be back and return as a winner! It won't be long until that happens!" Mosha was like a king in the dark. His raised hands made him look rampant and domineering. "Soon, you'll come to the understanding that I was right all along, and then, you'll piously bow down to me like them! The Angel Clan's too weak. Now, elimination's inevitable. The Fallen Angel's the true master of heaven and earth, and the master of the seven dimensions!"
"Mosha, the fact that I could seal you once means I can seal you a second time!" said Tianhua solemnly.
The evil spirit smiled contemptuously. "No, no, no, you can't do it since you've entered my Heart of Devil. I'll force you to abandon Angel's Light and come over to the dark side."
Tianhua sneered and said, "You'll have to ask the Holy Light Sword in my hand whether it'll allow you to do that!"
As soon as his voice fell, his angel wings carried him like a stream of light across the night, rushing toward Mosha. The Holy Light Sword extinguished all darkness, turning into an ultimate cold light as it slashed toward Mosha.
The Holy Light Sword was the supreme divine weapon of the angels. It was the treasure that had been bathed in holy light since its birth. It had driven away many catastrophes in the fourth dimension and thus, had been baptized by the Wisdom of the fourth dimension to become a Wisdom Ultimate Treasure.
Needless to say, it was supposed to be very effective against the power of darkness. However, Mosha did not seem to fear the sword, and a cold smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. With a flick of his wrist, a black long sword appeared and he raised it against the Holy Light Sword.
The white sword and the black sword collided with an ear-crashing clang. Darkness and light flickered, erupting with extreme power, causing the Wisdom of the fourth dimension to hum loudly.
"How's this possible? How did you get your hands on that sword?" Lord Angel widened his eyes and looked at the black sword in shock, full of disbelief.
This black sword was full of destruction and killing intent, and at the same time, it had been baptized by Wisdom, too. It was a natural-born enemy of the Holy Light Sword—the Devil Sword. Mosha clearly did not have this sword before, and he had been sealed for so many years, so how did he get his hands on this sword?
"There are many things you don't know. Soon, you'll know the taste of despair!" Mosha laughed and slashed down at Lord Angel. His wings were flapping like crazy and the monstrous power washed over Lord Angel like a tsunami. At the same time, the black gas in the sky also began to roll, eroding the surviving angels.
"Eternity of light, body of holy light!" Lord Angel let out a long roar as the Holy Light Sword and his wings burst into light at the same time. It was like a big sun shrouding all the angels in its light, protecting them from the devil aura. The angels and the fallen angels began to fight and their mana shook the sky.
Meanwhile, War Angel was still in her room. A sense of panic rose inexplicably.
'Wait a minute! Why hasn't the devil aura been suppressed yet? It's getting stronger and stronger? Father said he'd come back soon, but he still hasn't come back. The aura's different this time, something must've happened'
She wanted to go out, but she stopped when she saw her fleshy wings without feathers. She really did not have the courage to go out and meet people like this. She called out, "Nana, do you know what's going on outside?"
Weirdly, she did not get a response. War Angel frowned and called out again, "Lily, are you guys there?"
Still, no one answered.
'Where did everyone go? Something must've gone wrong!' After hesitating for a long time, she finally gritted her teeth and went out.
"It's almost done. Appear, Power of Blood Fiend!" The icy words of Mosha came out, and in an instant, a blood-red tornado of energy surged up in the endless black gas. The colors of black and red were intertwined, making this space extraordinarily weird.
The terrifying power contained in it horrified Lord Angel as he felt unparalleled pressure pressing down on him.
"What…what kind of power is this? Impossible, where did this power come from? Could they be hiding a secret power? Who is it? Where is it?" Lord Angel questioned sharply. He felt that the Holy Light Sword in his hand was also trembling and it was difficult to resist the erosion of the blood-red and black energy.
"Ah! Save me, Lord Angel!"
"No…no!"
The surviving angels screamed one after another. In this space, they were greatly suppressed and they could not hold on for much longer.
Mosha smiled arrogantly and said, "Tianhua, I'll corrupt your palace once I've dealt with you. From then on, there will only be the fallen angels!" He raised his sword and pierced Lord Angel's chest. The black gas began to flow into him through his wound.
"Come over to the dark side!"
"Lord Angel!" Above the palace, there were many angels and their faces full of anxiety and anger. They spread their wings and began to rush over.
"Stop! Don't come any closer. No one's allowed to enter the black gas!" shouted Lord Angel loudly before he solemnly said, "Stay in the palace and don't let the Angel's Light inside the palace go out!"
Then, he looked at Mosha. With endless majesty in his tone, he said, "Mosha, I'll never succumb to the Heart of Devil. Go back to where you belong!" He raised his Holy Light Sword and calmly said, "With my body, ignite the Angel's Light, the Holy Light Sword will extinguish all evils under the sky!"
The Holy Light Sword suddenly caused the air around it to ripple and a mighty Angel Light burst out like a torrent of water, pouring out from its body and drowning everything in the surroundings in a flash!
Endless brilliance, gorgeous to the extremes, purified all darkness in a baptismal way. Under the Angel's Light, the fallen angels trembled and dodged wildly. However, the price Lord Angel had to pay for that attack was being burned by pure white flames.
He used his own body as fuel to ignite the Holy Light Sword. Although the attack would be as fleeting as fireworks, it could at least temporarily light up the darkness!
Mosha used his sword to block out the light as he retreated. "Tianhua, you lunatic! What's the point of sacrificing yourself just to seal me for another ten or hundred years?" he yelled furiously.
"No matter how short the time is, it's better than giving up all hope now! I won't bear the shame of the fallen angels!" said Lord Angel serenely.
"Lord Angel!"
"Lord Angel!"
All the angels were calling out to him. They were flying in the sky and hot tears were flowing from their reddened eyes.
"Listen up, everyone. Return to the palace now!" said Lord Angel to one of the angels who were still alive in the dark air.
"Yes, Lord Angel!" The angels all knelt on one knee and gritted their teeth as they stepped back.
Suddenly, a figure was flying quickly toward them from a distance, and with no hesitation at all, it dove into the black gas.
"Oh my god, that…that's…"
"It's War Angel! Did I see wrongly? What happened to her feathers?"
"It's really Princess War Angel! I nearly didn't recognize her now that she's bald!"
"Oh, no! Why did she dive into the devil aura? Come back, Princess!"
All the angels were shocked at what she had done.
Lord Angel became anxious when he saw War Angel coming straight for him. "Alina, my daughter, why are you here? Go back now!"
Alina stretched out her hand and said firmly, "Father, give me the Holy Light Sword. Let me be the sacrificial lamb!"
"Nonsense! You're crazy!"
"I'm not! The Angel Clan cannot survive without you and I have no will to live now that I've become like this!"
"What utter nonsense! Your feathers will grow back! You're no daughter of mine if you can't even handle something like this! Leave now!"
Suddenly, Mosha's laughter came slowly, "Hahaha, this is your daughter? The War Angel after me? Tsk tsk tsk. Why does she sport a meat wing? Is she a mutant? If not, did someone pull out all her feathers? I didn't mean to laugh but this is too funny!"
Alina's eyes were red and she stared at Mosha with hatred, "Even with no feathers on me, I'm still a hundred times better looking than you with your black wings!"
"Oh? You just made me even more curious to know what you'll look like with wings as black as mine!" Mosha smiled playfully as he raised his hand and pointed at Alina.
A force of restraint enveloped her body, making her unable to move. Then, a boundless demon aura rushed at Alina frantically, almost swallowing her!
Lord Angel's expression changed and he immediately and slashed away at the black gas with his Holy Light Sword. However, it was blocked by Mosha. "I'm looking forward to seeing the expression on your face once your own daughter has become a fallen angel," said Mosha gloatingly.
"No!" Lord Angel roared in anger, full of panic and helpless despair. "Alina, hold on!" He was trying desperately to save her.
Alina's face flushed brightly and her delicate body trembled violently. Gritting her teeth, the mana surged in her body, trying to break free from the restriction. Under her hesitant gaze, the boundless black gas began to envelop her and she could feel that something was entering her body little by little.
"No! No!" Tears rolled out of her eyes. She was feeling even more helpless than when her feathers were being plucked. Losing her feathers meant losing her dignity but this time, she would be losing herself. Two streams of tears rolled down her cheeks.
"Someone, please, save me!"
Suddenly, faint light radiated from her chest. The light was extremely soft, without the slightest offensiveness. It seemed very ordinary and insignificant. However, it was the Origins of Light!
Under this light, darkness could not go near her at all, and instantly, the black gas stopped in their tracks. They were blocked by the halo of light surrounding Alina. Although the darkness was only half an inch away, it discovered that it could not even close the distance. It was truly insurmountable!
Then, a head wreath slowly floated out of Alina's chest. It slowly hovered over Alina's head, like a halo radiating light.
"What… What's that? A head wreath made of angel feathers?" Mosha widened his eyes in disbelief, thinking he was hallucinating.
Lord Angel also looked at the head wreath blankly. 'Alina actually possesses something that can block this weird power? And it seems to be more effective than the Holy Light Sword?'
"It… It worked! The Princess is so amazing!"
"Yay!"
In the palace, the trembling hearts of all the angels finally calmed down, and countless angels wept with joy.
Alina looked up at the head wreath with tears and confusion in her eyes. "It actually saved me?" she asked in a trembling voice.
