Chapter 253: Angel of Radiant Wings (2)
That night, three moons hung over the sky of Strauss Fortress. There was the real moon, shining high above, and two colossal lights that had suddenly appeared in the sky. The two forms were so bright and immense that, for a moment, they could easily be mistaken for moons.As light clashed with light, waves of brilliance rippled across the entire fortress. The awe-inspiring spectacle was clearly visible not only to the forces of Strauss but also to the subjugation army.
Everyone gazed upward in fear. "What... is that?"
The naked eye couldn’t make out their identities. For one, they were far off in the sky, and both were cloaked in blinding light. However, aura users could barely make out the outlines using their trained senses.
"No way..."
"Is that the martial king, Gellard?"
Of course, even aura users couldn’t discern faces at such a range. But it was obvious enough that one of the figures was a stout, imposing old knight. And who else but the Martial King of Delphiad could display such overwhelming might with his entire body wrapped in golden aura? Yet, when it came to the luminous being opposing him, no one could recognize what they were seeing.
"Those are wings of light!"
"Could it be an angel of a goddess?"
Confusion swept through them all. They weren’t even sure if angels of the goddesses truly existed, and they had no idea why one would appear now. More than anything, the entire situation defied understanding.
"Why is the Martial King of Delphiad fighting an angel of the goddesses?"
In fact, they weren’t even sure which side was theirs anymore. The subjugation army had clearly come to rescue the captive Martial King Gellard. But there he was, alive and well, locked in battle with an angel. Could that angel really have been summoned by the cult of the Black God?
