I had just found Kayle and Morgana and was about to head to Ionia when trouble struck!

It was already evening, but the sky suddenly brightened, with three bright and dazzling suns illuminating the surroundings as if it were daytime.

These are three angels, and the one in the middle is the Archangel Meriel, who has found us.

Kayle glared angrily, his power unconsciously surging outwards, while Morgana, somewhat frightened, leaned closer to me.

Since there was no turning back anyway, I might as well face them head-on. I patted Morgana on the shoulder, signaling her to calm down.

"War Aspect, why do you disregard the bond between Aspects and Angels and help these two bastards!"

"In my eyes, they are the true angels, and I cannot condone your actions."

"You want me to agree? Why should I? Since you've chosen to side with them, I'll have to replace the War Aspect with someone else. You're not a suitable host. Kill them, Angel, Raphael!"

The three angels worked together, instantly unleashing a devastating force. The surrounding sea surged, and all the newly grown plants were reduced to ashes!

At this moment, I felt a pang of regret. Why didn't I heal my injuries first? I originally thought I could leave after calling Kayle and Morgana, but I never expected to encounter such a powerful angel!

Meriel swung her Flame Sword at me. I had just blocked her attack with my Gale Sword when I felt my wounds burst open. Although the pain wasn't intense, it greatly hindered my ability to use my power.

Then the second sword came down. This time I had no mind to defend myself. I tried to dodge, but I was caught in the Flame Wave and a patch of my skin was instantly burned black.

This is incredibly powerful. Even when my body is at its peak, I can only find an opportunity by dodging with all my might, but now I can't even dodge!

"Let me give you a glorious death!"

As Meriel spoke, countless Flame Sword materialized behind her. I knew they were about to strike, so I quickly conjured a large number of Wind Spear to try and counter them.

Red and white light converged in the air, creating huge energy fluctuations, with towering waves rising and falling as if to engulf the Shadow Isles.

Our strengths were not even in the same league. The Wind Spear only blocked the attack for a short while before disappearing, leaving me completely exposed to the sword formation!

Kayle is locked in a fierce battle with Angel, barely managing to maintain a stalemate, while Morgana is at a disadvantage; the two sisters are simply unable to help me.

In the critical moment, several tentacles suddenly sprouted in front of me and surrounded me, finally blocking the blazing sword formation!

I quickly backed away and saw that the tentacles had been blown apart. Illaoi, Golden Light, appeared like a demon god descending to protect me!

"Can Yasuo still stand up?"

"Reluctantly."

Meriel scoffed. "Oh? Someone else is coming to die!"

"Shut your mouth, big bird, today I'm going to tear your wings off!"

Illaoi roared, and several more tentacles sprouted from her surroundings, slapping towards Meriel at the same time, just like when she defeated Thresh.

But angels are not like the undead. When the tentacles stopped, I saw that Meriel was unharmed; her Flame Shield made her immune to the damage.

Aren't angels all Light Element? How come this guy uses fire elementalist skills, and he's so powerful!

Illaoi isn't limited to just this one move; her Martial Arts are equally formidable. She once grabbed my neck in an instant, almost suffocating me.

When her tentacle attack failed, she leaped up, grabbed the statue, and hurled it at it, successfully hitting Meriel!

Unfortunately, this attack was also ineffective. Meriel quickly swung her Flame Sword at Illaoi's neck, and although Illaoi managed to twist it away, she burned her left arm.

"Wow, this is a bit troublesome, Yasuo. I can't beat her, and I'm far inferior!"

"If you're not an idiot, you should run for your life now. She won't target you."

"You helped Bilgewater out of its crisis, how could I abandon it? Besides, I want you to be my husband!"

Meriel sneered, "Ha, foolish humans, still thinking of flirting at a time like this."

"You're the stupid one! You can't even tell the difference between a joke and flirting. A birdman is a birdman, haha..."

Meriel vanished in an instant, and before Illaoi could even finish laughing, she chopped off her injured left arm!

"Ah!" Illaoi clutched her wound, sweating profusely from the pain; even though she was Demigods, she was still made of flesh and blood.

"I could have just killed you, but I've changed my mind. I'm going to tear you to pieces!"

After speaking, Meriel attacked again, and soon struck Illaoi once more, severing her right hand!

This cruel act is exactly the same as the torture inflicted on Michela and her daughter!

The rage within me was uncontrollable; at that moment, I no longer thought about escaping, but rather about killing the enemy before me!

A powerful Wind Force erupted, and at the same time, the power of the War Aspect filled his entire body. This feeling was very peculiar, as if his physical body had disappeared and he had become a soul!

I sprang from the ground in an instant, blocking Meriel's attack and forcing her back with a series of strikes!

Meriel shrugged. "Ha, this is the power War Aspect should have! But the gap between us is too great; even two of you wouldn't be a match for me!"

"But one might be just right!"

I launched an attack without hesitation, and wherever my Gale Sword went, it hit Meriel's vital points, gradually weakening her shield!

Give it your all! I gritted my teeth and didn't weaken my attack. The Gale Sword vanished into nothingness before it could even gather Wind Force!

Now that Illaoi has fallen, if I relax even slightly, we'll all die here!

Meriel finally got serious. Her Martial Arts weren't great; she relied entirely on overwhelming strength and near-invincible defense to fight. "If I keep going, there's hope of victory!"

I believe Jax's words: there is no such thing as a strong or weak force; as long as you use it skillfully, you can defeat any enemy!

The fierce battle lasted for a while, and I finally broke through her defenses. Meriel is now free from the protection of the Flame Shield, leaving only her physical body within reach!

I thought the dawn of victory was about to break, but Meriel sneered, the flames all over his body disappeared, and then a pair of wings grew from beneath his own wings!

She transformed into Four-winged Angel!

You'll regret seeing me like this!

The Flame Sword transformed into Light Sword, its power far exceeding its former strength. I had already exhausted myself and could no longer withstand her attacks!

As Meriel said, the gap between us is too big. Even if I unleash all my potential, I still won't be her match!

At this moment, Kayle broke free from Angel and stood in front of me, but she was ultimately a two-winged angel and could not fight against a higher-level being. After exerting all her strength, she was knocked to the ground.

Vanish, War Aspect!

Meriel folded her wings and, like a hawk hunting, thrust down with her Light Sword; we had completely lost our chance of victory.
