Human? God? Angel!
A piercing cry suddenly echoed from the heavens.
That was a solemn, tragic, and sacred scream that no human vocal cord could possibly produce.
The girl who should have been hovering in the distance was now directly above Kanase Kensei. She wore a white dress that resembled a patient's gown, and her slender hands and feet were engraved with incantations. Her eyes, which were seen through the mask, were now empty.
It also has asymmetrical, ugly wings growing from its back...
The moment the angel appeared, Yotsuba Mahiro's "Mystic Alpha Stigma" activated automatically and began to analyze the Mock Angel.
It must be said that this Mock Angel is indeed very strong, at least many times stronger than the one he killed before.
In particular, the divine power contained within his body was terrifyingly abundant and astonishing.
In comparison, that one looked like a defective product that hadn't been charged.
But--
So what?
His gaze slowly moved down and landed on Kanase Kensei once again.
"Haha, how about it? This is my proudest creation! So what if there's no medium with Ardigia blood flowing through their veins?! I can still create a real angel! Yotsuba Mahiro, are you scared out of your wits?!"
Perhaps it was because he was being targeted too harshly, or because the pressure from him was too intense, that Kanase Kensei laughing maniacally, like a madman.
However, Yotsuba Mahiro simply uttered two words calmly:
"Yeah?"
"But whether I'm frightened or not, whether I'm killed or not, you probably won't have the chance to see it."
The words were finished.
A glint of light flashed in Yotsuba Mahiro's eyes.
In an instant, Kanase Kensei had been laughing loudly, stopped abruptly, as if a duck had been choked, and his eyes bulged out.
He clutched his neck tightly with both hands and involuntarily bent over.
The next second.
With a loud bang, Kanase Kensei exploded into a bloody mist on the spot.
The splashed blood stained the beach, only to be washed away by the surging waves, as if it had never existed in this world.
"Although it's my first time using it, I didn't expect the Ichijo Family's magic for manipulating liquids to be so useful."
Mahiro stood there, muttering to himself.
Even La Fria hadn't quite come to her senses yet.
"Kanase Kensei... did he just die like that?"
"Yes, he's dead."
Mahiro nodded, then added, "However, Your Highness, I still hope you hide quickly, otherwise, there's a good chance you'll be affected by that fake angel overhead!"
"Huh?"
Before La Folia could understand what those words meant, Yotsuba Mahiro grabbed her by the collar and threw her into the woods like trash.
"Yotsuba Mahiro!!!"
"Enough with the nonsense, I'm saving your life! This princess is in your care!"
Mahiro's voice came from afar.
Immediately afterwards, the white-haired princess was caught by Yukina and Sayaka Kirasaka, who had rushed over.
Then we saw that Yotsuba Mahiro had disappeared from where she stood, rushing towards the angel in the sky like an arrow.
"The ruthless Queen of Steel, the holy sword that slays demons and monsters—"
"--Transform into a sharp weapon of steel, to help me slay all my enemies!"
[I also want to eat barbecue, Master.]
The holy, Demon-Slaying Holy Sword had already appeared in his hand, but Est's words almost made him drop his grip on the sword.
"You really are a foodie!"
Mahiro still slashed at the angel in mid-air with his sword.
"Kyriiiiiiiiiiiii--!"
The Mock Angel emitted a sharp, hissing sound.
Immediately, a dazzling light emanated from his body, blocking the Demon-Slaying Holy Sword's strike!
Moreover, the opponent's body, which had already been cleansed and mutated by divine power, underwent another transformation.
The sharp teeth that filled the mouth fell out one by one, and the childish face hidden by the mask gradually transformed into a beautiful face with golden ratio proportions.
The asymmetrical, ugly wings were replaced, and three new pairs of beautiful wings grew, dazzling and radiant.
Emerging from the surface of the wings are enormous eyeballs.
That "eye" revealed an all-seeing emptiness, looking down at him with utter indifference.
"Has the divine descent been fully completed?!"
When Gada saw this, her beautiful yet delicate face was filled with surprise.
The light, powerful enough to dispel the darkness and illuminate the night sky, shone on her, and she felt a faint stinging pain!
A very familiar stinging pain.
Just like when we were still royalty in the Devas, the sun burned and hurt my skin!
But when you are exposed to this light, it is even more intense!
"Yotsuba Mahiro! That angel has completed its divine descent, and the power it wields next will be pure divine power!"
"Heh, nonsense, do you even need to tell me? I can tell!"
It is rare for Mahiro to directly refute advice.
His forehead was now soaked with cold sweat.
It wasn't because of the holy angel that appeared before him, but because he felt a sharp pain in his body, as if he were being forcibly torn apart by some force, or as if he were being burned by flames!
Damn it, what on earth happened?!
Despite the pain, Yotsuba Mahiro pressed down on the sword in his hand once more, vaguely feeling as if he was about to cleave through the light barrier.
But with the increased force, his forearm began to ulcerate!
Like decay, the ghastly white bones hidden beneath the flesh were revealed, and the blood vessels were clearly visible!
Moreover, the festering sores are gradually spreading to other parts of his body.
But in the blink of an eye, new flesh and blood grew on his forearm.
It resembles a snake shedding its skin.
[Master, something seems off about your power.]
Est's voice came again, this time filled with deep worry.
"I know!"
Mahiro gritted his teeth and replied that he had already begun his second, or even third, confrontation with this evolving angel.
He was acutely aware of the changes happening to his body.
The magical power within him has begun to transform into divine power.
He had no idea what was going on.
All we know is that the problem likely occurred with the "Alpha Stigma".
The "Alpha Stigma" had previously analyzed and even replicated the divine power used by the Mock Angel, causing a trace of this power to appear within him.
That last sword strike seemed to have caused his power to resonate with the complete version of the angel.
This caused a transformation in his power.
The recent festering of the flesh was a result of being eroded by divine power!
"Aaaaaa--!"
The angel suddenly began to scream again.
The eyeballs on her wings simultaneously emitted a dazzling light like the sun, instantly enveloping Yotsuba Mahiro's entire body.
The released flashes of light formed a giant lightsaber, which poured down from the sky towards the ground.
The lightsaber pierced the soil, triggering a massive explosion that unleashed devastating force across the entire island.
The hard bedrock crumbled into dust, and pure white flames raged across its path.
In an instant, the enormous lightsaber shattered half the island!
"Senior!!!"
Upon seeing this, Yukina immediately rushed forward, raising her silver spear and beginning to dance.
Instantly, she surrounded herself with the immense spiritual energy amplified by the "Schneewaltzer," and the "Divine Vibration Wave Drive Technique" inscribed on the Schneewaltzer began to take shape. Sayaka Kirasaka, without saying a word, drew back the bowstring and aimed at the angel in mid-air.
[The divine son of the Suanni and the high-ranking swordsman hereby pray: May the dawn of destruction and the divine wolf of snow and mist swiftly aid me with the divine might of steel to vanquish the evil gods and demons!]
[The dancers of the Suanni and the goddess of the high god pray here. Aurora's fiery steed, radiant Qilin, you command heavenly music and thunder, weapons that pierce demons and ghosts with raging flames!]
This should be the first time that Sword Dance and Dance Weiyuan have joined forces, and it also features the Seven-Style Assault Anti-Demon Machine Gun and the Six-Style Heavy Anti-Demon Bow.
Like a storm of arrows raining down from the sky, Yukina, weaving through the downpour, leaped high into the air, gripped her spear with both hands, and fiercely thrust the tip of the spear towards the angel!
"Give me back my senior!!!"
"An angel? I'm quite interested too~"
The scattered light blocked the Schneewaltzer's thrust; to be precise, the "Divine Vibration Wave Drive Technique" was completely ineffective against an angel who had already completed his ascension.
Without the "Divine Vibration Wave Drive Technique," the Schneewaltzer is nothing more than a slightly sharper cross-shaped spear.
At that very moment, Gada, standing on the head of a giant skeletal creature, appeared behind the angel.
At the same time, she flicked out two drops of True Ancestor blood containing immense magical power.
"Xiuhtecuhtli, Camaxtli, conquer them!!!"
At her summons, the Chaos Empress's familiars crossed over from another realm.
The pillars of fire that erupted from the earth's veins burst forth with scorching torrents, unleashing even more dazzling and blinding lightning.
In an instant, the collision of the two dyed half the sky red, as if everything in the world was about to burst into flames.
The swirling lightning coiled around the angel like chains.
The endless, scorching magma then transformed into a torrent that engulfed it.
Furthermore, a barrage of arrows descended, exerting a calming force and suppressing the angel's power.
It was a success?
No.
The next second, a fair and delicate hand suddenly reached out.
Then, the radiance of angels shone forth once more!
It swept away the scorching torrent.
Tear the thunder apart.
The rain of arrows was completely dispersed!
That delicate hand reached towards the unsuspecting Yukina's chest, aiming straight for her heart!
At that moment, only one thought popped into Yukina's head.
That means I'm doomed...
"You bastard, I, Hu Hansan, am not dead yet!"
Suddenly a loud shout rang out, and then, as if teleported Yotsuba Mahiro appeared in front of Yukina and grabbed the angel's arm.
At the same time, pull hard!
