'Photon Wings (Multifaceted Photonic Wings)'!
A brand-new ability Astrea possessed after entering 'Pandora Mode'!
Astrea already possessed wings whose mobility and acceleration could be called the greatest among Angeloids. After being evolved and enhanced by the 'Pandora System,' those wings, which represented the ultimate movement speed, had been strengthened to their peak. The ability born from that was 'Photon Wings (Multifaceted Photonic Wings)'!
Once 'Photon Wings (Multifaceted Photonic Wings)' was activated, Astrea's wings would transform into wings of light over ten meters long, granting their owner unimaginable assistance. Its specific effect was to raise Astrea's movement speed to the speed of light!
The true speed of light!
That was why Astrea had transformed into a beam of light!
That was why she had been able to burst through the black fog, which had been left vacant and could no longer replenish itself, and rescue Ikaros from within!
Even after Astrea rescued Ikaros, the black fog was still belatedly churning. The black light inside continued to strike the spot where Ikaros had been, colliding with one another, with some even canceling each other out!
Speed! Terrifying beyond belief!
"Ikaros..."
In midair, Astrea supported Ikaros and asked with concern, "Are you alright?..."
Ikaros was breathing lightly. She had clearly expended a great deal of energy, but she came equipped with a 'self-repair' system that could not only heal injuries, but also restore stamina. Otherwise, Ikaros, whose strength had been continuously draining away, could not have endured the bombardment of that dense black light for so long.
It was not that the black light was too powerful, but that there was simply too much of it!
Perhaps the saying that enough ants could bite
