Etzel's Scrap-Tier Class System

It is a barrier.

It is exactly the same as the barrier that covered the entire Bright Moon City that was used to gather Divine Punishment in preparation for killing the Xian Kui.

However, there is a very peculiar problem...

"So small."

"It's very small..."

Xian Kui and Etzel spoke almost simultaneously, their voices tinged with surprise, because the barrier was indeed very small.

It is much smaller than the coverage of Mexico before, and even compared to the coverage of Bright Moon City later.

You could even call it a mini version.

It can only cover an area of about "one person".

"By the way, is Moerae's barrier getting smaller with each attack? Is she even capable of holding on?"

Etzel had reason to question it, then her eyes narrowed as she saw the humanoid figure gradually "emerging" from the barrier.

Those were Moerae's soldiers, Angel with wings on their backs.

"Huh? What's Moerae up to now?"

Etzel said this, but instead of pondering the question, she immediately jumped away from the window.

He leaped out!

"No matter what, they're definitely the enemy!"

As she said this, a look of delighted anticipation appeared on Etzel's face, and two spears instantly appeared in her hands.

"Then let's fight!"

With this declaration, Etzel's momentum instantly surged, increased dramatically, and surged even more!

What in this world can stop her now?!

"..."

"Bite!!!!"

Etzel slammed his lance into the long staff held by the newly descended Angel, and then prepared to launch an attack.

"..."

"Buzz..."

With another "feeling," Etzel and the Xian Kui rushed out to protect the formation were simultaneously drawn to something in another direction.

In a distant direction, yet another barrier was being constructed in the air.

That's the direction for large-scale clinical trials.

In other words...

The enemy has two bodies?!

Chapter 723 Etzel's Shabby Class

Moerae's influence seems to be gradually growing... This is neither something that can be observed nor something that can be definitively proven.

Rather, it was the judgment made by Xian Kui and Etzel.

To be fair, although the previous "Divine Punishment" Light Beam was quite terrifying in terms of its expressiveness and destructive power.

It even completed [the study of ink]

[The Destruction in Mexico] Such a terrorist attack... destroyed the nation's strength; it was clearly terrifying.

But to put it bluntly--

In fact, if the King of Mexico suffered from a lack of intelligence, things would have been different if he had known about the characteristics of the Moerae Barrier earlier.

Moreover, if the goal isn't to preserve the entirety of Mexico, but rather to abandon a few cities and seek aid as quickly as possible...

Mexico might only need to sacrifice a few cities.

However, the one who looks like Angel, calls himself Angel, and is indeed Angel... Moerae's henchman— the Angel.

That's an enemy of a different level.

"Tsk..."

Xian Kui quickly headed towards the audition site, prepared to intercept the enemy.

Yes, it's her past.

Etzel stated that if she went directly to fight in crowded areas, there was a risk of accidentally injuring innocent bystanders.

Etzel hasn't fought Angel yet. She needs to fight in a less crowded area to check her strength before venturing into areas with many people to avoid accidentally injuring herself due to unfamiliarity with the angel's strength.

"Go forward... and stop them."

As Xian Kui spoke, taking a deep breath, she appeared quite serious. "Just stalling for time... I can do it."

Can it be done? Will we win?

We'll win... right?

To be honest, even Xian Kui wasn't sure, because based on the descriptions given by Cong Yu and King Odin before.

If the light of "Divine Punishment" is just enough to hurt the weakest "King Level" opponent, then continuous beatings would kill the "King".

Therefore, "Angel" is the only enemy who can truly rival "Monster King"...

The weaker Monster King might not even be able to defeat Angel.

Now, the Xian Kui is even considering issues elsewhere— Moerae seems to be getting stronger.

The transition from "Divine Punishment" to "Angel" took quite some time, almost entirely after the "imminent return of the Age of Gods."

But almost just a few weeks later, Moerae seemed to be able to summon two Angel at the same time.

Not long afterward, Moerae became stronger.

Or to be more precise, Moerae may have had a stronger influence during this period.

So, what about next time?

Is it possible that Moerae will soon be able to summon three Angel at the same time?

Even in the not-too-distant future, they might transform into an army of Angel, each possessing King Level strength... At that time, what will become of humanity?

However, before she could even consider that question, the first thing Xian Kui had to face was already before her.

It's not about the future, but about the present and reality.

"This farce must end. As human beings, live until Moerae is born, until you are sentenced to death... This is your destiny."

The Angel, dressed in coarse white clothing that revealed half of his chest muscles, spoke these words with a cold expression on his handsome face.

Standing atop a magical girl, he wielded a long staff resembling a scepter, then forcefully thrust the staff down.

"Bang!!!"

With a muffled thud, the magical girl's head exploded instantly, turning into a pool of blood and foam.

But the Angel's attack did not end; he swiftly raised his scepter again, aiming it at the heart of the headless body that was struggling.

Just as he was about to drop it...

"Whoosh!!!"

Suddenly, darkness enveloped the Angel —a being as gentle as a breeze, yet which transformed into pitch black during its flight.

It's sword energy.

However, this did not stop the Angel's actions; he swiftly brought down the long staff in his hand.

"Bang!!!"

The magical girl on the ground had her chest explode from the destruction.

The head and heart were destroyed simultaneously...

"Li Xinmei!"

"Xinmei!!!"

"Asshole!"

"Damn birdman!"

"..." Amidst the screams and curses of the surrounding magical girls, the Angel calmly kicked the magical girl's corpse aside.

Then, a brilliant divine light condensed, and before he could turn his head, he directly used the light covering his entire body to block the sword energy launched by the Xian Kui.

However, the Angel, who had been calm and composed, suddenly changed his expression the moment he was struck by the sword energy.

An unexpected destructive force instantly engulfed him.

"Varied..."

Before he could finish his "what," the pitch-black sword energy exploded with a deafening roar, drowning out his remaining words in the concentrated explosion.

"Boom!!!"

The pitch-black sword energy exploded into a dazzling display of black fireworks, even the rising dust carried an ominous darkness.

But in the very next instant after the smoke and dust dissipated...

"Call!!!"

As if in response to the previous slash from the Xian Kui, a sword aura gleaming with light tore through the smoke and flew towards the Xian Kui.

Hide!

This was Xian Kui's first thought, but then she immediately realized... if she simply dodged, the sword energy would hit the residential building behind her.

This was done intentionally by the other party.

He's even worse than the worst freak.

There was no other way but to tough it out...

"BOOM BOOM BOOM!!!!!"

Amidst the successive roars, the immortal Xian Kui, who had raised his sword to parry, was blasted back dozens of meters at an extremely fast speed.

The stone pavement along the path of the retreat was almost entirely shattered, with bricks flying into the air and then being crushed into pieces in mid-air.

"Can..."

Before the Xian Kui finish uttering "Damn it!", the Angel immediately appeared in her field of vision, a ball of light gathering in his hand, which he hurled towards her.

Wow, so fast!

With a narrowed gaze, Xian Kui hurriedly raised his sword and responded with a slash.

The sword energy, imbued with both emotions and inner resolve, collided with the light bullet fired by the Angel, triggering a shockwave even larger than before.

Whether it was the magical attacks launched by the magical girls around them, or the green plants by the roadside, everything was swept back in all directions.

Xian Kui also lightly tapped his feet a few times to barely stand still... Then, he immediately swung his sword to meet the attack of the Angel who was completely unaffected by the shockwave and rushed towards him.

The two sides are evenly matched.

Although Xian Kui was suspected of "struggling to hold on," to everyone's surprise... Xian Kui was able to hold on.

Even if it's a difficult situation, it can still be described as a close contest.

After all, Xian Kui was truly giving it his all... The pitch-black color of magic symbolized intense emotions.

Its immense destructive power is proof of its unwavering resolve.

At this moment, what Xian Kui was thinking about was Cong Yu holding her sword, the sword that cut through the sky and separated day and night.

I seek and emulate that feeling and spirit from past memories and from the "other self" I trust.

The Xian Kui searched for and remembered in this way... can endure it!

A tribute to the legendary, resilient Xian Kui!

This performance clearly exceeded someone's expectations.
