Chapter XVIII
The black clouds were getting closer and closer, and with Sutum's eyes, he could clearly see what was inside.
It was the "Red Lantern Angel" that briefly appeared in the city before, emitting countless guardian lights and destroying the evil spirits that invaded the city. It stands to reason that this angel should have fallen into a deep sleep after launching such a wide range of attacks, but for some reason it reappeared.
The image of the Red Lantern Angel is completely different from before, and at this time he no longer has the sense of divine majesty, but is gloomy and weird, full of evil spirits. Behind it, a pair of wide white wings turned into a pure dark color, and between the flicks, the black flames burned.
"Red Lantern Angel, Fallen!"
Sutum felt a chill in his heart.
The most typical sign of the fall of angels is the turning of their wings into black, and at this time, they are no different from demons.
Although he didn't know why the angel had fallen, he could obviously know that he had killed Carrom, and if he were to be chased and killed, it would be almost impossible for Sutum's power to fight against him.
At that moment, Sutum grabbed his chin and shouted, "Run!"
The two men mustered all their strength and ran in the direction away from the red light angel.
As Sutum ran, he recalled information about the strength of humans, demons, and angels.
At this time, the hierarchy of power in the world is very rough, starting from mortals, and then going up to warriors, heroes, prophets, and the great prophets who have reached the limit of their power, the great prophets have reached the top of the human power, and it is almost impossible to go further. After the death of the Prophet and the Great Prophet, they may metamorphose into angels, and the angels are again divided into three levels: lower angels, middle angels, and higher angels.
The lower angels are sublimated in spirits, condensed in faith, possess the incarnation of holy power and light, and are immortal.
The median angel is one in body and mind, dominating power, and his true name is sung in all directions, hidden in the holy city.
The superior angels are formless and invisible, invisible and inaudible to mortals. Whatever appears in the world, its form may turn into a ball of light, a drop of water, a gust of wind, a cloud, and so on. The exact extent of their abilities is known to no one except themselves and their peers.
The information recorded by Huron Tin is only at the level of the median angel, and as for what level he is, Sutum is not easy to judge.
Demons are on the same level as angels.
In fact, the rank of angels only means their essence, and combat effectiveness cannot be based entirely on this. In the sources of Hurondin, there are many examples of the lower angel defeating the middle angel.
Angels condense spirits with strong beliefs, so they are pure in nature and easily polluted by the outside world. Whether it is to destroy its beliefs or to erode with **, it can make the angels fall. It is because of this that angels rarely appear in front of people.
******** angels, the strength will change, but the specific increase or weakening is impossible to judge with Sutum's strength.
Before the fall of the Red Lantern Angel, he should have been at the peak of the lower angels, and maybe even the rank of the middle angels, and he was the guardian angel with the most powerful combat power. Even if Sutum fused the demonic fire and turned into a complete lower-rank demon, there was still no chance of winning.
The fallen angel walked through the sky like a rapidly flying dark cloud, and as soon as its wings flapped, countless black feathers fell, turning into a rain of fire. For Red Light City, this is the second major disaster since the invasion of evil spirits in recent times.
The whole city is once again in turmoil.
Countless houses were set ablaze by the rain of fire, turning into a sea of fire, and many people were shocked by the giant angels in the sky, feeling panic and despair.
Suddenly, cries, shouts, and angry curses boiled in the city again.
Sutum didn't know why the angel had fallen, but he wasn't in the mood to think about it now, and he could only run away now.
- He has been completely targeted by this red light angel.
The feeling of a thorn in his back stimulated him to keep moving forward, and he didn't even dare to look back.
"Boom!"
A black light blasted down, and a house next to Sutum collapsed, billowing stones mixed with blazing flames and slammed down on him.
He leaped lightly and dodged.
"Ahem, ahem!"
The sound of a girl's crisp cough sounded in the smoke and dust, and the sound felt unusually familiar.
Sutum's eyes shrank and he rushed into the smoke.
Rumble!
Several black lights fell, and two figures shot out of the smoke and dust. Sutum held a girl in a white hemp dress and jumped quickly on the wall, dodging the attack of a **.
"Damn, why are you here?"
Feeling the curvy body in his arms and the familiar fragrance, Sutum whispered.
"I'm sorry, I accidentally sensed the angel's killing of you, and I wanted to come over to inform you, but I didn't expect it to come so soon......"
Eloth explained softly in her arms, her voice getting quieter and quieter.
It was originally a good intention, but she didn't expect it to become a burden, and Eloth almost wanted to cry without tears.
“......”
Sensing Sutum's thoughts, Eloth whispered, "How can I help?"
"Pray, pray that the city will return to calm, pray that the red light angels protect everyone, and that the more people who pray, the better. ”
One of the duties of a guardian angel is to guard the city, which is part of the core of his faith. Before the Fall, such prayers would unite His faith and strengthen Him. But once degenerate, this belief becomes its deadly poison.
Sutum hurriedly said, finding a relatively safe place to put Eloth down, and then jumped up again, attracting the angel's attention.
The main target of the angel is him, the others are just implicated in the existence, leaving him around, Eloth and Ba will be much safer.
He hadn't thought that Eloth would be of any use, and those words had only made her leave quickly.
The angel was getting closer to Sutum, and the light from the black wings was getting denser and denser.
Thundered!
Another house was shot through and collapsed, and the billowing smoke obscured everything.
Sutum hid in the thick smoke, his vision was still unobstructed, and when he saw a few black lights coming over, he said secretly: "It's a good time!"
The intense demonic power condensed in Sutum's hand, turning into a translucent mirror that blocked his chest.
Just listening to the sound of "Boom", "Boom", "Boom", the black light that shot over was instantly bounced back by the mirror, piercing through the smoke and shooting on the angel's wings.
With such a close-range attack, the red light angel was caught off guard and was shot squarely.
There was a violent roar from one of his wings, and a large hole burst open.
The balance of the angels was broken and they quickly fell to the earth.
"Let you be a birdman in the sky. ”
Sutum let out a sigh and cursed to himself.
After scolding, turn around and run.
Even if this angel folds a wing, his combat power has not been reduced by half a point, and it is still a dead end if he doesn't run.
After running a few steps, I suddenly felt a softness under my feet, and a wave of heat evaporated, and at some point, the ground actually turned into fiery magma.
If it weren't for the fact that Sutum had just obtained the power of [Red Light] and was able to manipulate and be immune to the power of some of the flames, I am afraid that just this moment, he would have to burn the magma into flying ashes.
Only then did Sutum remember that the Red Lantern Angel, as the owner of the red light, was also his original ability to control the flames.
It is not difficult to think that with His power, the ground can be turned into magma.
At this moment, several black lights struck again, and Sutum could not avoid it.
ReflectionsReflections
Condensed several mirrors in a row, but they were easily broken, Sutum sighed
"Now, even if you fuse the magic fire, you can't be saved. Looks like I'm destined to travel back. ”
His mind was calm, and Sutum's mind immediately entered the spiritual world in the dark.
In the spiritual world, the Demon Fire and the Gate of Light stand opposite each other.
At this time, the light gate shrank to the size of a fist, and the light was dim, looking like it could be annihilated at any time.
On the other side, the magic fire was raging, and one of the translucent treasure mirrors was suspended in it. In the treasure mirror, the light and shadow change, like a movie, showing everything in the outside world, including the two surging black lights emitted by the red light angel at this time.
"It's time to finish!"
Sutum watched the light slowly shoot towards his body, his mind trembled, and he was about to fly into the light gate and travel back to the original world.
Maybe everything this world has experienced is really just a big dream.
At this moment, a tall and muscular figure stood in front of Sutum.
Poof!
The blood splattered, and it was quickly evaporated in the air.
The tall figure had a huge hole in its chest, and its internal organs had been burned clean, and it was obvious that it would not survive.
"Master, be careful......"
The figure spoke, and before he could finish, he took his last breath.
"Ba, ba!"
Sutum's heart twitched violently, and his mind was instantly pulled back into his body, just holding Ba's body and shouting out loud.
He never expected this to end.
Ba didn't know that even if he was hit by the angel's black light, he would not die, at most he would just think about the soul leaving this world...... He didn't know any of that.
So, he blocked the blow with his body.
With his loyalty, he exchanged his death for the life of his master.
Sutum had a feeling of tears in his eyes, this was the first time he experienced the nostalgia of this world, but unfortunately it was fleeting.
The black wings of the red light angel opened again, and the black light was condensing.
Sutum's mind did not enter the spiritual world this time, and he could not enter the spiritual world with a calm mind. If you die this time, you're really dead.
The demonic power boiled to the extreme, and once again condensed into a mirror in Sutum's hands, which was the last defense and attack.
Suddenly, a small voice sounded in his ears:
"Red light angel above, may your holy light shine and protect the safety of the city......"
"Red Light Angel, I pray that you will show mercy and protect our lives......"
......
The sound grew from small to loud, from less to more, thicker and thicker, and finally gradually became a sea of sounds, enveloping the red light angels.
The long-fallen red-light angel let out a roar of pain, and the black feathers on his body fell one after another, turning into a sea of fire on the ground.
The flames grew thicker and thicker, and the red-light angel rolled and burned on the ground like a rolling fireball.
Sutum hugged Ba's body and looked at everything coldly from afar.
"Boom-"
I don't know how long it burned, but when the sound went out, the red light angel had disappeared, leaving only a cloud of dust on the ground.
"Hehe......"
Sutum smiled, and tears of laughter came out.
A light flashed in front of him, and Hurondin's figure reappeared in front of Sutum.
"I'm sorry. He looked at Ba's corpse and said with a complicated expression, "This time, it's my fault." ”
As he spoke, he explained the reason for the fall of the Red Lantern Angel.
The reason for the fall of the red light angel also has a great deal to do with Hurondin.
Huron had been hiding from an angel who called himself the "Future Apostle" and lived in seclusion in the City of Red Lights. Later, because of Sutum, he leaked his breath and attracted the apostle again. When the two were fighting in the city, the aftermath accidentally killed the lord named Monte Finn, and it just so happened that Sutum also killed the demon Karrom Finn at a later time.
was already thin, and the Finn family, which was left with only two people, became extinct.
When the Red Lantern Prophet was incarnated as an angel, the beliefs that were condensed were one of the guardians of the Finn family and the other of which were the guardians of the Red Lantern City. The Fein family was extinct, and the red light angel naturally fell, and before he fell, he sensed that Sutum had destroyed everything in the Fein family, so there was this hunt.
Sutum put away his smile and remained silent. Of course, he can't blame Hurondin, the reason why Hulundin exposed his aura is also because he saved him.
However, a certain strong anger in my heart could not be extinguished.
"Where is the apostle you are talking about?"
Sutum asked.
"He fought with me, both were defeated, and where should he recuperate now. ”
Huron said, frowning, and said, "This angel called the 'Future Apostle' has a strange strength and purpose, claiming to be an existence that sweeps away all rebellious fate...... If nothing else, if He meets you, He will definitely find a way to destroy you. You have to be careful. ”
As he spoke, his face changed greatly, "It's not good, this apostle has appeared again......"
Before he could finish speaking, Hurendine turned into a ray of light and disappeared again.
Sutum shook his head, looked at Ba's corpse, and muttered to himself, "People, you can't always run away, when it's time to choose, you must choose." Where is there so much right and wrong?"
"Goodbye, Earth-kun, I'll go back, I will. ”
Sutum said, taking a deep breath, closing his eyes, and his thoughts appeared in the spiritual world.
The human form formed by the mind walked straight to the demonic fire, and then the two merged into one.
After fusing the demonic fire, the light gate disappeared without a trace, and then the spiritual world changed wildly, giving birth to light, water, plants and land, and snow-white houses...... In the end, the whole spiritual world is transformed into a beautiful city surrounded by the sea and forests.
At the same time, Sutum's body changed rapidly, expanding and shrinking like rubber, occasionally emitting flames and white light.
When everything calmed down, Sutum finally turned into a demon once and for all.
After turning into a demon, he waved his hand at Ba's corpse, and a faint translucent smoke with the shape of Ba was extracted and absorbed into the spiritual world.
"Now, it's time to live well in this world. ”
Sutum looked at the world, "Please take care of me!"
