179: Four-winged angel

Glancing over the empty stands, on the battle stage covered by a thick light membrane, two different Beasts were currently engaged in a fierce battle.

One was a Beast with two pairs of wings, over two meters tall, with a body and limbs identical to a human's, somewhat resembling an angel from Luo Chen's memories.

Another reason that made Luo Chen believe it was an angel was that every one of its attacks left behind a trail of holy light.

The other Beast surprised Luo Chen even more; it was a mask standing upright between heaven and earth, with a white face and red lips, and crimson symbols covering its cheeks.

Its attack method was also quite unusual: it would make different expressions on its face, and in the void around it, many masks with various painted faces floated.

When fighting the angel-Type Beast, those small, colorful face masks continuously released various Skills of different Types, so even though it was a battle between only two Beasts, it still created the momentum of a vast army.

Luo Chen first looked at the angel-like Beast, and a panel of information successfully appeared before him.

race: War Angel

Rank: Wild Beast Three Stars

Type: Angel Type, Light Type

State: Excited, Cautious

Aptitude: Excellent

Skills: 1. War Horn (Profound Tier): The War Angel blows the horn of war, making friendly targets' blood boil and removing fear from their hearts.

2. Explosive Holy Light (Profound Tier): The War Angel throws a ball of light; after a brief delay, the ball of light explodes, causing damage to the surroundings.

3. Holy Light Armor (Profound Tier): The War Angel envelops all targets within a certain range with a layer of Holy Light Armor. This armor possesses astonishing defensive power until it dissipates and enhances the target's Mental resistance.

4. Purify Heretics (Earth Tier): The War Angel accumulates power and, after a certain period, unleashes extremely high-temperature holy light on the target area, eliminating beings considered heretics in the angel's eyes.

5. Angel True Body (Earth Tier): Domain Skill, summons a massive Angel True Body statue, expanding a domain of a certain range. All within the domain are suppressed by holy light, and targets deemed heretics by the angel will generate a scorching aura, continuously attacking the target.

6. Holy Word (Earth Tier): As angels, they all possess the Holy Word, transmitting the glory of the Lord. The angel will continuously use this Skill to mentally harass other targets, making them followers of the Lord.

7. Edict of War (Profound Tier): Where the War Angel is present, the belligerent factors within people's hearts will be stimulated, and other targets' desire to fight will become stronger. (After the War Angel presides over a war of over ten thousand people, this Skill will advance to Earth Tier.)

Evolution Path: Not yet unlocked.

“It really is an angel.” Luo Chen's eyes were filled with wonder.

He hadn't expected there to actually be angel-Type Beasts in this world. He really wanted to catch one to study. Luo Chen felt an itch in his heart, like a kitten's paw scratching.

Judging by the Skill effects, this angel possessed three Earth Tier Skills, which could be considered quite good among Wild Beasts.

However, Luo Chen had seen many Beasts with high and excellent Aptitude, so in his opinion, this angel's Skills were rather ordinary.

Yin Changge, standing nearby, noticed Luo Chen staring at the Beast in the arena without moving and whispered a reminder,

“Young Master Luo, Master Li is at the main stage.”

Yin Changge was the valiant young woman who had gone to pick up Luo Chen.

Luo Chen snapped out of it, nodded, and followed the direction Yin Changge pointed, seeing the dozen or so audience members, a rare sight in the entire venue, sitting in the front row with the best view.

And Third Senior Brother, whom Luo Chen had met yesterday, was sitting in the center of the crowd, his expression cold.

This was a huge contrast to his chatty demeanor when he met Luo Chen, making him appear incredibly reliable in this State.

Luo Chen descended the steps and soon arrived near the main stage.

Everyone on the main stage, including Li Wenhao, was focused on the two sides battling in the arena, so engrossed that they didn't notice Luo Chen's arrival for a moment.

Yin Changge, behind Luo Chen, bypassed the stopped Luo Chen and went directly to Li Wenhao, respectfully saying something.

Then Li Wenhao looked in Luo Chen's direction, gave him a gentle smile, and then instructed Yin Changge about something before returning to watch the battle.

Yin Changge then turned back, came to Luo Chen's side, and led him to a seat in the nearby stands.

“Master Li asked me to tell you to wait for him here for a while. You can watch the match and see if you can learn anything.”

As she said these words, Yin Changge looked at Luo Chen with a strange gaze.

Even Luo Chen put a hand to his forehead. Was he being treated like a child?

“I understand, thank you.” After thanking Yin Changge, Luo Chen focused his attention on the battle arena.

Waiting for Li Wenhao was no big deal; he could also observe a free Wild Rank Beast battle and get to know some Beasts he had never seen before.

Luo Chen looked at the mask that was gradually gaining an advantage on the battlefield, curious about what surprises its information might bring him. This was also his first step in understanding the Beast Master circle in the capital.

race: Desolate Spirit Mask

Rank: Wild Beast Two Stars

Type: Mystery Type, Mental Type

State: Focused

Aptitude: Perfect

Skills: 1. Faces of All Beings (Earth Tier): Domain Skill, the Desolate Spirit Mask opens a domain. As time passes, colorless face masks will continuously appear in the domain.

These face masks can simulate Beasts that the Desolate Spirit Mask has seen or understood, and then corresponding colors appear on the face masks. These face masks can use some of the Skills of the Beasts they imitate.

2. Seven Emotions (Earth Tier): Seven corresponding emotions appear on the face of the Desolate Spirit Mask, simultaneously causing Mental interference to all targets,

forcing everyone to make the same expression as it. Targets subjected to long-term erosion will not only have their Skill releases interfered with but also have a probability of being controlled by the Desolate Spirit Mask.

3. Human-Mask Fusion (Earth Tier): The Desolate Spirit Mask and its Beast Master fuse with each other. At this time, the Beast Master can completely control the power of the Desolate Spirit Mask, and the Mental energy of both is superimposed, which can enhance the intensity of other Skills.

4. Endless Illusions (Earth Tier): The powerful Mental energy of the Desolate Spirit Mask interferes with the surrounding environment or targets, causing targets to fall into layers of recurring illusions. (You never know which layer is the true reality.)

Evolution Path: Not yet unlocked.

Luo Chen blinked. This was a Wild Rank Beast, but it only had four Skills, and all of them were Earth Tier.

Was it powerful? If Luo Chen were to say, it was naturally powerful. At first, he thought it was an Artifact-Type Beast.

But Third Senior Brother had said that Artifact-Type Beast, as a new category, would generally be marked. Luo Chen had thought at the time that the rules of this world were quite fashionable, knowing to specially mark it.

However, if this mask was not marked as an Artifact-Type Beast, then it could only mean it evolved from a spirit-seed Type Beast.

Moreover, looking at the first Skill description of the Desolate Spirit Mask, it could be used as many, many Skills, but this required the Beast to possess a powerful Mental energy.

As a Mental Type Beast, the Desolate Spirit Mask's Mental energy would naturally not be poor, not to mention that it could also be superimposed with its Beast Master's Mental energy. In this way, its Mental energy would definitely reach a terrifying level.

As a holy light shone, a gigantic angel statue appeared in the arena, majestic in its presence, as if it were the sole ruler of this world.

Along with it, the changes in the venue appeared; the ground and surrounding space were filled with auspicious and pure holy light, and a white-gold halo appeared around the Desolate Spirit Mask's main body and the dozen or so colorful face masks floating around it.

The halo looked sacred, but it possessed extraordinary destructive power. They confined the Desolate Spirit Mask and those face masks, while the scorching high temperature even caused the surrounding air to distort.

“To die by the angel's sharp sword is the greatest glory for a heretic.”

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the four-winged War Angel, with two pairs of wings, thrust the sharp sword in its hand towards the Desolate Spirit Mask's glabella.

“Puff,” “Puff”

Two successive sounds like cloth being pierced rang out. The War Angel looked incredulously at the sharp sword piercing its own chest.

The Desolate Spirit Mask, which had been hit in the glabella, disappeared, replaced by a mask with an angel's face painted on it floating in the air. The sharp sword that had pierced the War Angel was controlled by it.

“The Lord says that an angel will eventually return to its kingdom, no matter where it sacrifices itself in the world.”

After saying this last sentence, feeling his life constantly draining away, he was about to close his eyes.

But the surrounding scene shattered once again.

A masked young man stood on the other side of the battle arena with a smile on his face, and there was no wound on the War Angel's chest.

The War Angel confusedly touched its chest. The feeling of life draining away just now was too real. Could it really be an effect that an illusion could present?

The masked young man spoke,

“Although I really dislike you, you charlatan, we are neighbors, so I won't kill you.”

The War Angel stood alone in the battle arena, and its contracted Beast Master was nowhere to be seen.

“Under the Lord's gaze, the angel once again turned misfortune into good fortune.”

The masked young man twitched his mouth and shouted at the War Angel:

“Hey, get it straight, it was me who let you go, not your Lord.”

But the angel ignored his words and continued with a series of devout prayers of unknown meaning.

“Hopeless.” The masked young man complained, then leaped onto the main stage, cupped his fists at Li Wenhao,

“I didn't fail my mission.”
