Chapter 376: Four-winged Angel
On the verge of death, the Power within Olgart awakened.
He transformed into a Four-winged Angel.
An astonishingly powerful aura radiated from its entire body.
Even from a distance, Li Wei felt an oppressive presence.
The Four-winged Angel opened its eyes and looked toward Li Wei.
Its eyes held only Holy Light, devoid of pupils.
The Four-winged Angel raised its right hand, and the Holy Sword of Light materialized in its palm.
The true Holy Sword of Light.
Not the bootleg version Olgart had used before, which was merely condensed from Holy Light.
The Holy Sword of Light is the standard-issue weapon for Bright Angels.
It contained a trace of Divine Power.
It was neither a Divine Artifact nor a Legendary Weapon.
But it was even better than a Legendary Weapon.
Its might was no less than that of a Legendary Weapon.
With a shudder of the wings on its back, the Four-winged Angel shot toward Li Wei.
Its speed was incredible.
Li Wei couldn’t even react in time.
His chest was struck twice by the Holy Sword of Light.
The "X"-shaped slash shattered Li Wei’s body into four pieces.
His body of fire scattered, only to quickly reform in another spot.
Li Wei had only just reformed when the Holy Sword of Light sliced through his neck, severing his head.
Li Wei’s heart sank.
’This thing is too fast. There’s no way I can fight it.’
The Four-winged Angel’s Power was immense.
It had already reached the Pseudo-Legendary Level.
Aside from lacking Legendary Extraordinary Traits, the Four-winged Angel’s strength was on par with a Legendary Professional.
Furthermore, it possessed the characteristics of a creature of Divine Power. Even without Legendary Extraordinary Traits, these divine characteristics alone made its strength equal to that of an ordinary Legendary Professional.
Li Wei tried to reform his body several times, but each time the Four-winged Angel brutally cut him down.
It gave him no opportunity to recover his Power.
Even in his Flame Lord form, after being cut down several times, Li Wei could feel his body weakening.
His Power was diminishing.
The Four-winged Angel’s attacks were indeed harming him.
They were not completely ineffective.
Had he been in a normal human body, he would have been long dead by now.
The fact that Li Wei was only losing Power was, relatively speaking, a good outcome.
But if he couldn’t devise a solution to deal with the Four-winged Angel, his death would be certain once his Power ran out and he was forced out of his Flame Lord form.
If he couldn’t handle the Four-winged Angel in his Flame Lord form, his chances would be even slimmer after reverting to his normal self, as his strength would plummet.
Seeing this, Li Wei had no choice but to play his final ace.
’If I use this move, I’ll only have a few seconds at most.’
After careful consideration, Li Wei took a deep breath.
He retracted his entire Flame Domain, drawing all the surrounding Fire Elements into his body along with it.
The Four-winged Angel launched a relentless assault on him.
It sliced off large chunks of his flaming form.
Li Wei ignored the Four-winged Angel’s attacks.
His form solidified, the flames coalescing into the shape of Dragon Scales.
Flame Dragon Form.
BANG!
Li Wei caught a downward slash from the Four-winged Angel.
The Holy Sword of Light split his flaming Dragon Claw nearly in two.
At least he could now keep up with the Four-winged Angel’s attack speed.
But this alone was not enough to defeat it.
He took a deep breath, and all the Fire Elements from the surrounding area surged into his body.
In the blink of an eye, he had drained all the Fire Elements within a 500-meter radius.
This consumed nearly ninety percent of Li Wei’s Spiritual Power.
After accumulating a massive amount of Fire Element within him, he activated his Mystical Technique.
He applied the Nuclear Secret Technique to himself.
The Fire Element inside him unleashed an even greater Power.
In an instant, Li Wei’s form swelled to over a hundred meters tall.
He became a true Flame Giant.
He snatched the Four-winged Angel and began to crush it in his palm, as if rolling a meatball.
The Four-winged Angel continuously swung the Holy Sword of Light, dicing Li Wei’s giant, flaming hand to pieces.
This didn’t impede Li Wei’s actions in the slightest.
As Li Wei crushed his hand together, a huge Fireball began to form in his palm.
The Four-winged Angel was engulfed by the Fireball.
Li Wei’s hundred-meter-tall body began to shrink rapidly.
All his Power was poured into the Fireball.
Inside the Fireball, boosted by the Nuclear Secret Technique, the Fire Element underwent the most intense reactions. The elements constantly collided, releasing an even greater Power from within.
The temperature climbed relentlessly.
Three hundred thousand degrees, four hundred thousand, five hundred thousand... one million... two million... three million degrees...
The terrifyingly high temperature caused the very space within the Fireball to warp.
Golden flames began to burn on the Four-winged Angel’s body.
Its Power was being incinerated.
Five seconds passed.
Li Wei’s Power was exhausted, and he shrank back to his normal size.
A massive, ten-meter-diameter sphere of Cyan Flame floated in the sky.
The temperature inside the Fireball was the highest Li Wei had ever achieved.
It had reached millions of degrees.
A hint of purple emerged from within the Fireball.
A look of surprise crossed Li Wei’s face. He hadn’t expected to break his temperature limit under these circumstances.
Cyan Flame turning into Purple Flame meant his power had taken another step forward.
Though he hadn’t yet mastered Purple Flame, the sight before him was a clear sign of his future potential.
WHOOSH...
The Fireball didn’t explode. After incinerating everything within, it gradually died down.
In the end, only a single cluster of purple fire remained.
The purple flame burned softly, looking completely harmless.
PLOP.
A clump of dim, golden light fell from the purple flame.
Having lost its fuel, the purple flame gradually flickered out, vanishing in mid-air.
Li Wei focused his gaze. The Four-winged Angel had been burned to a heap of wreckage.
He was somewhat surprised; he hadn’t expected a Four-winged Angel to look like this after death.
Li Wei approached cautiously and used Mage’s Hand to part the wreckage, revealing a golden heart within.
The heart’s glow had grown incredibly faint.
However, a mysterious Power preserved the last spark of life within the Angel’s Heart.
Li Wei took out the Blade of Judgment and stabbed it into the Angel’s Heart.
THUMP!
The Angel’s Heart’s glow dimmed even further.
As if a final gasp, an astonishing aura surged from within the Angel’s Heart.
It was several times more powerful than the Four-winged Angel’s had been.
Li Wei instantly realized the Angel’s Heart was about to self-destruct.
Without a second thought, he brought out his contingency plan.
He shoved the Poison Dragon Saliva directly into the Angel’s Heart through the wound made by the Blade of Judgment.
Instantly, the golden Angel’s Heart was stained a ghastly green.
The horrifying aura rapidly dissipated.
After a few more slashes with the Blade of Judgment, the stubborn Angel’s Heart finally died.
All its Power dissipated, and it became an inert object.
The moment the Angel’s Heart died, far away in the Saint Hall of Light, a statue of a Four-winged Angel suddenly cracked, nearly frightening a praying nun to death.
The nun thought she had made a mistake in her prayers, causing the statue of the Four-winged Angel to shatter.
The Grand Archbishop and Cardinals of the Saint Hall of Light immediately convened an emergency meeting.
It even alarmed the Pope and the Saintess.
"The statue of a Four-winged Angel has shattered. One of them has fallen in the mortal world."
"This is an extremely grave matter. We must find out who murdered a Four-winged Angel of Light!"
"But the problem is, no one knows who the fallen Four-winged Angel chose as its vessel to descend upon the world."
