When Raymond charged out, he saw an enhanced angel standing before the collapsed rune wall, a blade of light in his hand, blood dripping from its edge.
The angel stood a head taller than ordinary angels. A golden film of energy covered his skin, energy surging through his body so violently that the veins beneath his skin bulged.
