Chapter 70: The Angels' Decision
Although without the support of the Burning Hell, relying on the powerful shadow magic in his body, Andariel was able to complete this ultimate evil ritual.
It's not the first time Andariel has presided over a demonic transformation. Unlike the noble and inviolable power of light, the power of demons can not only destroy enemies like angels, but also have corrosive and assimilating properties.
Although angels will "die" in battle, they will soon be reborn in the crystal dome, and as for the archangel, even if they are mortally injured and their bodies are destroyed, they can be slowly reborn in the Chaos Realm.
However, this does not mean that angels are invincible.
In the eternal war, in the face of the demon army of constant infighting and deceit, the angels also lost more and won less, retreated one after another, and were even marched to the bronze gate of heaven by demons several times. Although in the end, it was because of the demon's internal strife that it failed to break into heaven, but the decline of the angel army has been fully revealed.
The most important cause of the power gap between Heaven and Hell, which is supposed to be evenly matched, is the fall of the angels.
Demons will only be destroyed by noble angels and reborn in hell, but angels will be confused by the evil magic of demons, blur their wills, and eventually degenerate into new demons. The fallen angels will not only strengthen the power of hell, but will even provide the demons with various top-secret information about heaven with the memories of their pre-Fall period. If there is a demon that can condense the full power of Burning Hell, then the fall of Heaven is only a matter of time.
Of all the fallen angels, the most famous is the lieutenant of the righteous archangel Tyrell, armed with a divine sword, the battle angel of the blue rage, the Clothier. In order to prevent the creation of the artifact of hell "Shadow Fang", he single-handedly killed the hell furnace in the territory of Mephisto, the king of hatred.
This matter was tightly sealed by the demon gods and Andariel from anyone, lest Heaven respond to the leak. Even Tyrell, who thought he had always trusted and prouded his most trusted and proud lieutenants and comrades-in-arms, had only been imprisoned by demons and endured inhuman torture. As everyone knows, Yishuer has leaked almost all the secrets of heaven to the demons, and there are even secrets about the world, but the details are only known to the three demon gods, and Andariel has long been excluded after completing the task of corruption.
Although Andariel completed this transformation, since Liszt was already in a semi-awake state of Nephilim, this transformation used even more shadow energy than the original transformation of Yishuer. Andariel not only exhausted almost all of her own strength, but also extracted the evil lives of all her remaining minions, which completely transformed the majestic ancient power in Liszt's body.
In the center of Andariel's circle, there was a huge black cocoon floating in constant rhythm, which continued to inspire the evil fluctuations that soared into the sky, and the powerful destructive force shook the entire monastery to the ground, and for a while, all corners of the world could feel this ominous aura like an omen of doom.
Kane and his party, not too far from the monastery, bore the brunt of the attack, and were dizzy by the torture of this wave of evil power, and the originally heroic and warlike Rogge warriors covered their heads in pain and squatted on the ground, unable to even hold the spears and bows in their hands.
Kane struggled to cast an anti-magic spell to protect the young Vera behind him, but he himself uncontrollably began to see all kinds of evil visions, and the tragedy of Tristram began to recur before his eyes, the raging fire, the terrifying scream, made him kneel on the ground in pain, almost unable to support the protective spell.
Little Vera behind Kane also desperately resisted the erosion of her consciousness by the remnants of the evil shadow that penetrated the spell. She stubbornly looked at the spire of the monastery not far away, and prayed silently in her heart, praying that her mentor, Liszt, would be able to overcome this terrible evil. She believes that the invincible mentor will definitely live up to expectations!
For a while, whether it was Nolan, who had returned from his mentor and was exploring in Rugoin's palace, or Zul, who was hiding in the jungle of Kegistan and secretly observing Trivank, or Nataya, who was chasing the remnants of the Triune Cult in Kegistan, they were all shocked by this powerful evil force, and they all knew many secrets, thinking that it was a certain demon god who broke through the seal and reappeared in the world, so that there would be such an evil omen.
In any case, they could not have imagined that this was the work of their good friend, the most jealous and hateful witcher of all, Liszt.
The High Heavens were already in shambles, and if it weren't for Impres's encouragement and Oriel's appeasement, the angels might have been frightened by this newly born powerful evil—not every angel is a fearless warrior like Impres.
The Council of Angels, also known as the Council of Angelis, is where the Archangels meet to discuss and decide important things about heaven.
The empty hall of the council, which had not been held for a long time, was today filled with the supreme consuls of heaven.
The high-level heaven, which was originally harmonious and peaceful, was now shrouded in dark clouds, exuding a thick sense of unease and anxiety. The five archangels sat on their respective thrones, and in the face of the current scorching situation, except for Impreus, the rest of the archangels were silent.
"Now, my brothers and sisters, Heaven has been driven into a rather dangerous situation! I propose to immediately lead the army of angels to destroy the sanctuary world and destroy all human beings! Imprith stood up angrily, looked around at his comrades, and said with a sigh.
"Impres, calm down, we need to know what is going on in the world before we make a decision." The gentle and loving Oriel's soft voice flowed out like flowing water, gently soothing the anxiety in the heart of every archangel.
The Archangel of Wisdom, Masayer, also spoke, "Oriel is right, Impres. Although there are demons raging in the world, we must first understand our enemies, and rushing to send troops will only cause the angels to suffer in vain. ”
Masayr's body, wrapped in a thick gray robe, leaned slightly towards Tyrell, and continued: "Our brother, Tyrell, often meddles in human affairs, this is our open secret, I think you should know more, Tyrell, please tell us the details. ”
The archangels' eyes were focused on Tyrell, who had his head bowed. Impreth's gaze was especially angry, and he stabbed at Tyrell like a sharp sword.
Feeling the angry or inquiring gazes of his comrades, Tyrrell was not embarrassed, for his heart was already filled with remorse and hesitation.
"I do know something." Tyrell's voice was no longer as firm and powerful as usual, but became hoarse, even with a hint of confusion, making Oriel and the others feel more and more that something was wrong.
"It's a human, no, a human who has inspired the bloodline of Nephiten, he's been corrupted by a demon, that newborn demon, that's him. I know because I saved him and left some of my power in him. I can clearly feel that my power has also been corrupted. Tyrell's voice began to turn pale and weak.
"I have made a grave mistake, and I am no longer qualified to assume the sacred duty of carrying out justice. But I ask the Council to allow me to lead the Legion of Holy Angels one last time, so that I can put an end to it with my own hands, and make amends for my sins and the disgrace I have brought upon the Most High Heaven. After saying that, Tyrell bowed his head deeply, and every archangel could feel the deep sorrow in Tyrell's heart.
Seeing Tyrell like this, even the angry Impreus couldn't bear to blame their good brothers and comrades-in-arms anymore. As long as Tyrrell can repent, their relationship can still be restored.
"Tyrell, if only you could understand your mistakes, and as for your sins, we'll talk about them later. Now, we need to know all the information about that demon bastard and make our battle plan! Impreus's anger subsided slightly, and she presided over the next topic of the meeting.
"Iseril, we need your knowledge of the enemy, can your Scroll of Destiny give us the answer?"
