Chapter 48: Chapter 48: Song of the End
The movements of the two caught Aster Grant’s attention.
Aster turned his head and saw the exotic girl with light golden hair and emerald green eyes.
In terms of appearance, she was on par with Crystal Winslow!
Noticing Aster’s gaze, Veronica Vero realized her faux pas, quickly turned her attention to the Nether Spirit Leopard, elegantly straightened her skirt, and then extended her hand:
"Hello, let’s reintroduce ourselves, I’m Veronica!"
After saying this, Veronica cheekily winked.
Seeing this, the corner of Aster’s mouth twitched.
Although he already knew that this girl was not simple.
However.
He didn’t expect the contrast in her to be so stark.
When she first met him and Crystal Winslow, she seemed shy and innocent.
But now...
If Aster wasn’t sure that the leopard was the same cat that Laney had been holding earlier.
He wouldn’t believe that such a drastically different person was the same individual.
Aster merely nodded politely without reaching out his hand.
Seeing that Aster did not reach out, Veronica pouted dissatisfiedly.
Small-minded man!
It was just that she hid her identity, did he really have to bear a grudge?
However.
Aster’s attention was already completely drawn to Michael Miller.
"About your origins... I can tell you!"
Michael wore a smug smile on his face.
After all, not only could he solve the aftermath of the Seraphim, but he also found a potential to become stronger!
In a good mood, even this seraph seemed more pleasing to the eye.
More importantly, he was very eager to know...
He couldn’t wait to see Lazuli’s reaction upon knowing the truth!
"You are a princess of the Seraphim, how could you forget such a crucial thing?"
Michael’s face was mocking, "But now the Seraphim are almost extinct, so perhaps it’s only natural for you to forget this identity!"
Extinct?!
Aster’s brows also furrowed upon hearing this news.
Although he didn’t know the relationship between the Seraphim and the Seraph Legion.
However.
Lazuli apparently belonged to the Seraphim.
And the Seraphim were nearly extinct...
At this moment, Veronica suddenly interjected:
"The Seraphim and the Seraph Legion both belong to the Angel Race! And the Seraphim are the royal family of the Angel Race, extremely scarce in number!"
"But not long ago, the king of the Seraphim disappeared, the Seraph Legion seized power, and those with Seraphim bloodline..."
"Are probably facing grim destinies!"
"Of course, that’s just what I’ve heard! Judge for yourself if it’s true or not!"
Veronica added one last remark.
Although Aster had been indifferent to her earlier, Miss Vero didn’t mind.
Upon hearing Veronica’s explanation, Aster realized...
Why Lazuli lost her wings!
It turned out to be the handiwork of the Seraph Legion!
Immediately, Aster looked at Lazuli with concern.
At this moment, the little girl bore the greatest burden in her heart.
Lazuli stared blankly at Michael.
Looking at the wings behind him, memories gradually awakened in her mind.
The massacre of the Seraphim, her wings being torn apart...
Images flashed incessantly in her mind!
Unconsciously, tears began to slide down her cheeks.
"The Seraphim?"
"Princess?!"
Seeing Lazuli like this, Michael was clearly very satisfied.
"Haha, you’ve remembered, right! Those related to you are suffering, and you were completely unaware of it all!"
"As a princess of the Seraphim... do you even deserve this?!"
This sentence clearly struck a chord in Lazuli’s heart.
At this moment, the little girl looked at her own hands, her body trembling continuously.
Her kin were all suffering...
And her?
Did she really deserve this identity?!
Seeing Lazuli’s condition, Aster’s brows knitted tightly.
If this continued, there would be no need for Michael to act, Lazuli would collapse on her own.
This can’t go on!
"Sovereign!"
Without any hesitation, Aster resolutely used his talent.
The Emperor’s Gaze reappeared!
At this moment, persuading Lazuli was evidently the least efficient method.
If persuasion didn’t work, then he would let the little girl feel his inner strength.
His spiritual power emerged from his body, forming a tight bond with Lazuli.
Spiritual power could be used not only for battle but also to explore the hearts of others.
In the spiritual world.
Aster saw a small figure hugging her knees, curling in the corner.
This was Lazuli’s inner portrait.
Even if Lazuli was powerful and had fought many battles, in essence...
She was still a little girl!
Seeing the little girl burying her head in her knees, trying hard to avoid reality.
Aster’s heart twisted sharply.
All of this was too cruel for her!
Aster took a deep breath, slowly stepped forward, and extended a firm hand towards Lazuli.
"Lazuli, stand up, no matter what happens, I’ll be here with you!"
The little girl raised her head, her pale face full of tears.
"Master..."
Lazuli lifted her tear-filled face, her golden eyes reflecting Aster’s resolute expression.
"Lazuli, no matter what, I will firmly choose you!"
"Since the Seraph Legion stands in your way, then I’ll crush them with you!"
Through her tears, Lazuli saw the extended hand, just as steadfast as it had been during their contract in Lythos.
Yes, she now had a master she could rely on!
No matter what, her master would resolutely choose her!
Above the Holy City, Michael had lost his patience.
It’s time to end this!
"Lazuli, I’ll send you to reunite with your underground kin!"
Slowly, a long sword appeared in Michael’s hand, and in the next moment...
He fiercely lunged at Lazuli!
However.
In the inner world.
A slender hand firmly grasped Aster’s palm.
How could she keep avoiding?
She was an angel chosen by the gods!
How could she fall here!
"Bestow upon me, Slaughter!"
"Blazing Angel Form, activate!"
Two voices rang out almost simultaneously.
In the next moment.
Scarlet slaughter aura intertwined with flames, completely enveloping Lazuli.
Michael’s attack was easily deflected.
Aster looked at Lazuli with attributes in the thousands, his gaze deepening.
"Still not enough!"
"At this level, it’s still not enough!"
"At this level, she still couldn’t defeat this Seraph Legion!"
"Lazuli!"
Without Aster’s command, their minds intertwined; Aster’s thoughts instantly reached her heart.
To take it a step further, there’s only one way!
"Song of the End!"
In unison, their chant resonated across the battlefield.
The four wings behind Lazuli suddenly ignited with golden flames, and amidst the flickering tongues of fire, four new radiant wings suddenly appeared...
Eight-winged Blazing Angel!
"This is..."
Michael’s pupils contracted violently, and the Holy Sword in his hand began to tremble uncontrollably.
How is this possible?!
Without reaching Divine Level, how could one become an Eight-winged Blazing Angel?!
This is impossible!!!
Illusion!!
Michael’s eyes burned red, his gaze full of madness.
How could a crippled angel reach such a level!
"Seraphic Manifestation!"
Six wings unfolded instantaneously.
"Today, even if you’re an Eight-winged Blazing Angel..."
"You must die!!!"
