Chapter 147: Pale Moon, Encountering the Two-Winged Angel Again

The area surrounding Pale Moon was teeming with powerful Tier 5 beasts, including Flame Dragons and Rock Giants.

Although the strength of the Flame Legion had improved significantly, they were no match for such formidable creatures.

John turned to Ritchie and said, “From here on, I’ll go alone. Lead the army back and wait for my signal.”

“Alright,” Ritchie replied, a bit disappointed but understanding. He knew that the Flame Legion was far from capable of taking on the forces of a Level 5 dark city. They would only be a burden to John.

“John, I want to come with you!” Sini pleaded, her eyes filled with determination.

“Alright.” John nodded, not refusing her request.

Leaving the army behind, John took Sini with him and used Sword Flight to head toward the Pale Moon Forest.

Suddenly, John halted mid-flight, sensing something. Avis had awakened—it seemed the creature had successfully absorbed the Dragon’s Blood.

“What’s wrong?” Sini asked curiously.

“Wait a moment.” With a thought, John summoned Avis.

Boom!

A massive shadow appeared, crashing to the ground and kicking up a cloud of dust. It was Avis.

John looked at the disheveled Avis with confusion. “What happened to you? Did you forget how to fly?”

Avis clambered to his feet, still a bit dazed, but upon seeing John, his face lit up with joy. “Master!”

However, his expression quickly shifted to one of urgency. “Master, something’s wrong! Bonnie, the dark elf, has appeared in the Land of Death. She’s a Tier 9 powerhouse—she must be trying to reclaim The Land of Darkness!”

John realized immediately what had happened: Avis had been beaten up by Bonnie.

“Don’t worry,” John replied calmly. “Bonnie’s already under my command.”

“What?” Avis shook his head in disbelief, lifting himself into the air with shock written all over his face. “Master, what have you been doing while I was in seclusion?”

“Not much, just took another trip to the Abyss.” John gave a vague answer, then, with Sini in his arms, leaped onto Avis’ back. “Head to the Pale Moon Forest. Do you know where it is?”

Avis nodded instinctively, still reeling from the revelation. During his time in seclusion, it seemed like he had missed a lot.

While he had absorbed the Dragon’s Blood and advanced to Tier 5, the gap between him and John had only grown wider, leaving him once again relegated to being nothing more than a means of transportation.

As Avis flew swiftly through the skies, his Dragon’s Might radiated outward, keeping most beasts at bay.

…

After a full day’s flight, they finally arrived at Pale Moon Forest.

This was a place dominated by powerful Tier 5 and above beasts. Avis’ Dragon’s Might could no longer intimidate them, and soon, several beasts, emerged to cause trouble.

Including Flame Dragons and Rock Giants.

John immediately pulled Sini into his party to ensure her safety. With a swift motion, he activated Sword Mastery, sending three short swords flying through the air. In an instant, the Tier 5 beasts were effortlessly slain.

“John, the experience points are growing so fast!” Sini exclaimed, overjoyed as she watched her experience points increase rapidly.

At this rate, it wouldn’t take more than a week for her to reach level 200 and undergo her fifth class advancement.

John, however, remained indifferent. “This is nothing. In the Abyss, leveling up is much faster. I’ll take you there to level up soon.”

“Really? Will it be safe?” Sini asked, not out of concern for herself but for John’s safety.

“Don’t worry. The Abyss is already under my control,” John reassured her. With his current power, as long as he avoided the regions controlled by Tier 8 or higher Abyss demons, there was no real danger.

“Master, I want to go too!” Avis eagerly chimed in.

“Alright. But first, we need to deal with the issues in the world of Gods,” John agreed, planning to help the Saint Martial Sect and Gates City establish their factions before quickly advancing to Tier 6.

…

The trio—John, Sini, and Avis—ventured deeper into the Pale Moon Forest. The strength of the surrounding beasts grew with every step, but they were still only Tier 5, posing no threat to John.

Before long, a vast and magnificent city came into view.

Pale Moon, a Level 5 city.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, an arrow shot toward them. Avis hastily dodged, sensing a faint threat from the arrow.

On the city walls, a Dark Humans general stood with his bow drawn, glaring coldly at John and Avis. “Humans, Pale Moon is not yet open. Leave immediately!”

John glanced at the man, unwilling to waste words. With a swift motion, a sword beam shot forth like a streak of lightning, aimed directly at the general.

Boom!

The sword beam struck, creating a gash in the fortified wall. The Dark Humans general was instantly killed.

[You have slain a Tier 6 epic Dark Humans general, gaining 160,000 experience points.]

[Plunder Talent activated: Strength +10, Constitution +10.]

The system notifications flashed as the remaining Dark Humans soldiers on the walls panicked and launched an all-out attack.

“Master, I can’t handle this many,” Avis said gravely, quickly ascending into the sky.

The soldiers were mostly Tier 5 and 6. While Avis could handle one-on-one fights, he couldn’t hold his ground against thousands of enemies.

“Leave it to me!” John leaped into the air, using Sword Flight to soar above the city. He quickly located the teleportation point and destroyed it.

Boom!

With a loud crash, the teleportation point was obliterated. Since no players had yet arrived in this Level 5 city, there was no need to destroy the resurrection point.

Just as John prepared to deal with the soldiers on the walls, a furious shout rang out.

“Human, you’ve shown yourself at last!” A holy figure emerged from the city, flying toward him.

It was a Two-Winged Angel.

“Huh!” John raised an eyebrow in surprise. It was a familiar face—the same Two-Winged Angel he had killed before in the Land of Death.

He sneered, “A defeated opponent, yet you dare come out to die again?”

“Hmph, this time I won’t fall for it. Without the Tree of Life, you’re doomed!” the Two-Winged Angel roared, as a fluctuation of spatial power sealed the surrounding space, preventing John from escaping into the Death Land.

Last time, it was the Tree of Life’s interference, along with the help of powerful beasts, that led to John’s demise.

If it had been just John alone, she wouldn’t have taken him seriously.

“You’re really confident,” John sneered disdainfully, feeling the weakness in the spatial power around him. He could easily break through it.

However, with his current strength, he could easily defeat a seventh-tier legendary warrior.

Buzz!

The sound of sword intent reverberated as John, uninterested in further conversation, attacked directly with a swift move of his sword, launching a blinding strike.

“Foolish!” The Two-Winged Angel didn’t sense the impending danger, her longsword gleaming as she slashed toward John.

Boom!

A thunderous roar echoed as terrifying sword energy rippled through the air. Feathers scattered as she was sent flying backward.

“No… no way!” Blood trickled from the corner of the Two-Winged Angel’s mouth as she stared at John in disbelief. “How did your power increase so quickly?”

It had only been a month. Even for someone of divine descent, such rapid improvement was impossible.

John didn’t bother replying. Dark energy surged, forming a black mist that enveloped the surroundings.

“Dark Descent!” The Two-Winged Angel’s face changed drastically. This was advanced dark magic, and her attributes were severely weakened.

Escape!

Realizing she was no match for John, she didn’t hesitate, turning to flee into the distance.

“Too late to run now!” John sneered. The Three-Foot Black Dragon Sword appeared, splitting into three as it whistled through the air, chasing the Two-Winged Angel and relentlessly tearing into her.

-22840

-22457

…

A series of true damage numbers flickered as feathers withered and golden blood splattered.

This Two-Winged Angel’s strength wasn’t even comparable to that of the demon emperor.

“Get away!” she roared angrily, Holy Light surrounding her and forming a shield to block the flying swords.

“Quick, help me hold him off!” she then called out to the Dark Humans army below for assistance.

The Dark Humans army hesitated briefly but immediately launched an attack on John.

Arrows flew, magic howled, all enveloping John.

John sneered as his Diamond Armor formed, blocking the magic and arrows effortlessly.

Then, a dark magic staff appeared in his hand, and terrifying dark energy surged, whipping up a fierce storm that engulfed the entire Dark Humans army.

It was advanced dark magic—Dark Storm!

Whoosh…

The violent wind raged, turning into countless sharp blades infused with terrifying dark magic, ravaging everything in its path.

Under the blessing of the three great attributes—The Power of Dark Laws, the Dark Staff, and Dark Descent—John’s Dark Storm reached a terrifying critical damage of over two million!

The Dark Humans soldiers stood no chance; they were all instantly killed. Even the Two-Winged Angel lost over 800,000 HP.

Her total health was only around three million, and now she had lost a quarter of it in one blow.

The vast city of Pale Moon was instantly transformed into a dead zone, with only two survivors.

The Two-Winged Angel and the city lord of Pale Moon, a seventh-tier epic warrior.

“My city!” the Pale Moon City Lord cried out, spewing blood, his figure wavering unsteadily.

Pale Moon had been his life’s work, but in an instant, most of it had been destroyed by John. The Dark Humans soldiers had all been wiped out.

“N-no… impossible…” The Two-Winged Angel stared at John, trembling with fear and disbelief. “You’ve actually mastered the Power of Dark Laws!”

She had already witnessed John’s physical attacks with true damage, but those didn’t belong to the realm of laws.

However, the dark magic attack just now was filled with the terrifying essence of the Power of Dark Laws.

There was no doubt—this human had mastered the Power of Dark Laws.

“How did you do it?” The Two-Winged Angel swallowed hard and asked in shock.

“It’s none of your concern!” John sneered and once again unleashed advanced dark magic—Annihilation!

Buzz!

A Dark Orb rapidly compressed, instantly forming a black hole, tearing apart the surrounding space as it rushed toward the Two-Winged Angel, ready to devour her.

“No!” she shrieked in agony as her body was devoured by the black hole, instantly killed!

[You have slain a level 1000 seventh-tier legendary Two-Winged Angel and gained 1.072 million experience points.]

[Plunder talent activated, Divinity +1.]

The notification popped up as John plundered another point of divinity, though this time, there were no loot drops.

Buzz!

Suddenly, the Resurrection Point beside him lit up, and to John’s surprise, the Two-Winged Angel resurrected at the Resurrection Point.
