Chapter 185 The Crazy Eighteen-Winged Grand Archangels!
Chapter 185 The Crazy Eighteen-Winged Grand Archangels!
Another battlefield.
Dozens of Fallen Angels faced over three hundred Undead Knights of the same level, yet they were not at all at a disadvantage.
Accompanied by the blooming of endless blood light...
The Undead Knights fell in groups.
And in the moment of death, the soul flames within them were completely devoured by the Fallen Angels.
In less than twenty minutes.
Over three hundred Transcendent-level Undead Knights were killed cleanly by the Fallen Angels.
The leading Eight-Winged Fallen Angel, Mercedia, Aphne, and the Six-Winged Fallen Angel, Gladys, directly soared in levels and entered the Saint Rank.
The other Fallen Angels also stepped into the Mid and Late Stages of Transcendent.
This war caused the levels of the Fallen Angels to skyrocket.
Of course, there was also Angelia.
She single-handedly killed four Saint Rank Undead Knights, easily stepping into the Late Stage of Saint Rank from the initial stage, and was not far from reaching the peak of Saint Rank.
At the Saint Rank level, there was the concept of a peak.
Before this, the King Level and Transcendent only had the Late Stage.
Breaking through the Late Stage would allow one to step into the next realm.
The reason why the concept of a "peak" appeared starting from the Saint Rank was not because the levels were subdivided, but because of a deeper understanding of the domain.
Ordinary Saint Rank beings all mastered a domain.
And when a trace of the power of laws was born within the domain, their level would reach the peak of Saint Rank.
When this trace of power of laws became complete, one could break through the realm and become a Demigod.
At the Demigod level, there was also a peak realm.
A Demigod who successfully ignited the divine fire was a peak Demigod.
Compared to ordinary Demigods, the strength of a peak Demigod was many times stronger, but still weaker than a True God who condensed a divine nature.
...
"Take it!"
Angelia waved her right hand.
Four clusters of azure soul flames floated towards Mercedia and the others.
"Thank you, my lord!"
Mercedia and the others immediately expressed their gratitude.
Then they devoured the four clusters of Saint Rank soul flames.
Afterwards, the realm they had just broken through to, the Saint Rank, became more stable and their strength became stronger.
At the same time, they obtained the memories of these "Undead Knights".
Angelia asked with a calm expression, "Why did these nightmare knights from the underworld appear in this world? What is their purpose?"
Eight-Winged Fallen Angel Mercedia respectfully replied, "Reporting to my lord, they transmigrated from the underworld to search for a Divine Body of the Death God, which is said to have been left behind during the Holy Demon War."
"There are a total of eighteen teams of nightmare knights that came from the underworld."
"They are just one of them."
"Among these nightmare knight teams, five are led by Demigod-level nightmare knights."
"They are scattered in various regions of this world, secretly searching for that Divine Body of the Death God."
"The Divine Body of the Death God?"
Angelia nodded slightly and said, "It can barely be considered a treasure! We need to obtain it, extract its divinity, and help our lord ascend to godhood!"
"You are wise, my lord!"
Eight-Winged Fallen Angel Mercedia said, "With the assistance of divinity, it will be easy for the Creator to ascend to godhood! Furthermore, there is a clue in the memories of those nightmare knights."
"What clue?"
"Leaving aside other regions, if we only consider the Dark Forest, the most likely place to become the Divine Land of the Fallen God is the headquarters of Bone Temple in the north!"
"Three days ago, a team led by a Demigod went there."
Her voice paused slightly.
Mercedia asked again, "My lord, should we immediately go to Bone Temple to prevent the Divine Body of the Death God from truly falling there and being obtained by those nightmare knights?"
"Why the rush?"
Angelia said indifferently, "Even if they find the Divine Body of the Death God, it will be difficult to transport it for a while. They will need to summon other nightmare knight teams and set up a sacrificial altar."
"We don't need to be in a hurry. Let them find it first!"
"Understood!"
Mercedia nodded.
Just as she was about to speak, the elegant and noble figure in front of her disappeared into thin air.
Secretary An left!
Also taken away were the scattered spoils of war.
After a moment of silence, Mercedia led the other Fallen Angels and left this place, continuing to clear out the undead creatures on the battlefield.
...
Almost at the same time.
In the northern region of the Dark Forest.
A large and powerful legion of nightmare knights suddenly stopped.
"Sir, why have we stopped moving forward?"
"Is there a special situation?"
A perplexed Nightmare Knight at the peak of the Saint Rank inquired.
Ahead, a burly and terrifying Nightmare Knight, without even turning his head, said, "Squad 13 has been wiped out! It's not just a simple casualty, their souls have been completely extinguished!"
The Saint Rank Nightmare Knight exclaimed in shock, "Who could have been so ruthless? Could it be the Demigod from the Giant Kingdom?"
"We don't know yet!"
The terrifying Nightmare Knight shook his head, then coldly said, "Don't worry about it, continue with our mission. Finding the body of the Death God, Bacchus, is the most important thing!"
"Yes, sir!"
Soon, the legion of Nightmare Knights set off again.
Under the pitch-black night, their figures were even more chilling than the undead.
Even the undead would willingly make way when they saw them.
Because they were messengers from the underworld!
...
"Creatures from the underworld?"
Lin Yu's expression revealed a hint of surprise.
Isn't the underworld supposed to be the resting place of the deceased?
It should be a one-way journey.
Yet now, there are beings from the underworld appearing on this floating island.
This exceeded his expectations.
Furthermore, he remembered that his demonic plant, the Everlasting Flower, was the guardian of the gates to the underworld, specifically feeding on the souls that entered the underworld. It could be called a "skin-peeling monster of the dead."
"Yes, my lord!"
Angelia respectfully said, "They are Nightmare Knights, following the oracle of a Death God, who have descended upon this world to find the body of another Death God belonging to the underworld camp."
Lin Yu said, "I thought they were Apex Level units, the Undead Knights..."
"The beasts they ride, are they the rumored Nightmare Beasts?"
"Yes, my lord," Angelia said, "Nightmare Beasts are unique creatures of the underworld, with strong combat abilities and suitable for being mounts. Compared to Undead Knights, Nightmare Knights are at least ten times stronger."
Lin Yu asked again in confusion, "They clearly approached the battlefield just now, why did they suddenly retreat?"
Angelia respectfully said, "Those Nightmare Knights were frightened by the hellish power emanating from the Fallen Angel, thinking they had encountered higher-level creatures from the underworld, so they hastily withdrew."
This answer only puzzled Lin Yu even more.
"Could there be a connection between hell and the underworld?"
"Why would a group of creatures from the underworld be scared by the power of hell?"
Lin Yu didn't know where the underworld was.
But he knew that hell was behind the summoning of black holes, within the Divine Domain of the Creator.
What can be confirmed is that hell and the underworld are not the same world.
"My lord, the situation is like this..." Angelia explained, "The hell where the Fallen Angel resides used to be part of the underworld."
"That was tens of millions of years ago, when several Eighteen-Winged Grand Archangels forcibly entered the underworld to seal the Fallen Angel, using their supreme divine power to divide the underworld into two."
"They used half of the fragments of the underworld to create the current hell."
"So in reality, the power of hell is actually the power of the underworld."
"The hellish aura emanating from the Fallen Angel is extremely pure, which frightened those Nightmare Knights."
"I see!" Lin Yu suddenly realized, and was greatly shocked.
Those Eighteen-Winged Grand Archangels of the Divine Angel Camp were truly insane.
Not only did they forcefully invade the "Land of the Dead."
They even split the legendary underworld in half, just like cutting a watermelon.
One half returned to the original inhabitants of the underworld.
The other half was used to create hell and seal the Fallen Angel.
Could an ordinary person do such a thing?
Definitely not!
Only someone like the Wolfbane could do it!
Lin Yu said, "If we have the opportunity, we must seize that Death God's body!"
The body of a deity is undoubtedly of astonishing value.
It can be considered a world treasure, and he really wants to obtain it.
"I understand!"
Angelia respectfully said, "My lord, rest assured, no one can take away that Death God's body! As long as it is in this world, it will definitely belong to you!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Yu couldn't help but smile.
From the moment she was summoned until now, Secretary An has never disappointed him.
Especially just now, when she single-handedly fought against four Saint Rank Nightmare Knights, it was a scene that left him deeply shocked.
Even though they were all Saint Rank, Secretary An was a bit too strong.
