Chapter 929 [Viewing Style] Why Cut Off the Wings?

The good news is that the card flipped over again, revealing a half-demon, half-angel wing pattern.

Maru: "..."

Morataya: "Oh dear, this card has become much more meticulous ever since L said that."

Liu Qingyao: "..."

...

"I recommend Ellex to succeed the High Priest!"

Upon hearing this, many angel priests echoed his sentiments.

The pink-haired boy angel, whose name was called, lazily lifted his eyelids and glanced at them before closing his eyes again.

There's no point in paying attention to it at all.

The reason the priests recommended him was simple.

He was truly different from the other angels.

Almost all angels have gold or silver hair and blue eyes, but he has pink hair and purple eyes.

In their view, anything different is magical, as long as it's not demonic.

Matsuda Jinpei: "This is much better than the crybaby's family."

Ida Wataru: "I would say that in some aspects, the two are about the same."

The opposition was minimal, so Elex successfully became the High Priest.

The high priest doesn't need to do anything; he only needs to supervise the other priests and has the authority to command them.

It can be said that the high priest's status is second only to the chief priest.

After the High Priest's succession ceremony concluded, Elex immediately left the hall and went to an area farther away from the palace.

He flew to the rooftop, silently approached Nathaniel from behind, patted him on the shoulder, and then immediately moved into his blind spot when Nathaniel turned around.

"Lex".

Nathaniel's voice was cold and indifferent, but it was not hard to hear the helplessness in his tone.

Alex smiled and sat down beside him, watching him tease the fiery bird.

Nathaniel remained silent for a long time before speaking softly, "I heard... you've become the High Priest?"

Alex raised an eyebrow. "You're quite well-informed."

He put his arm around Nathaniel's shoulder, teased him with a laugh, and then shrugged, saying, "It was those priests who inexplicably recommended me."

Nathaniel paused for a moment. "This also shows that you are capable enough for this position."

“Is that so…” Elex looked at him with a puzzled expression. “But I think this position is really busy and boring. I suspect that’s why the first High Priest disappeared.”

Nathaniel: "...Anyway, just finish your task first, and come find me when you're not busy."

"I'll head back now."

After saying that, he stood up, released the bird in his hand, and flew away.

Alex watched him walk away, bewildered.

However, he didn't have time to look for him for several days in a row. Finally, he got half a day off and went to find Nathaniel as soon as possible, but he didn't find Nathaniel at the usual location.

Puzzled, he went to Nathaniel's residence, but before he was even a distance away, Alex saw him alone heading towards the border.

Alex was even more puzzled. Seeing that the other person was about to disappear from sight, he quickly followed.

The so-called border is the open space between the angels' and demons' territories. The two races often fight there, and it is also a dangerous place. Ordinary angels would never go there, let alone alone. Even in groups, they would not dare to approach without the presence of the high priest and other priests.

Nathaniel's practiced manner suggested that he had been to the border more than once.

Alex followed closely behind, hiding and dodging.

After completely leaving the territory of the angels, Nathaniel folded his wings and landed.

One of the dangers within the borders lies in the creatures that live there. Due to their nature, some are drawn to angels and others to demons. For example, the bird covered in fire is a border creature that is close to the angels.

When they encounter an enemy, they always swarm and attack.

However, after Nathaniel stepped into the border area, the pro-angelic creatures gave him a puzzled look and then moved away, while the pro-demon creatures glanced at him but did not attack him, yawned, and lay down to sleep.

Alex was completely bewildered: ? ? ?

What happened next surprised him.

Nathaniel slowly crouched down, seemingly suppressing some pain. Soon, the pure white feathers on his right side began to gradually transform into blood-red demonic wings.

Ellex noticed that the wind had blown across his right cheek, which was previously hidden by his hair, revealing the blood-red markings that were climbing up his right cheek, and that sharp nails had also grown on his right hand.

Demons are usually extremely beautiful in order to seduce and bewitch humans. Therefore, these changes did not make Nathaniel's appearance strange, but rather added to his beauty.

Elex moved further behind the cover, his eyes filled with surprise as he looked over there.

He watched for a moment, thought for a while, and then quietly left.

Nathaniel remained where he was until all the wings on his right side transformed into demonic wings.

Perhaps due to the influence of his demonic bloodline, he has become somewhat manic. But before he can control his emotions, he manipulates a dagger that appears out of thin air, moves it behind him, and swiftly cuts off the demonized wings!

Blood instantly soaked his back, turning it red.

Upon witnessing this scene, some of the girls and children covered their mouths or eyes in shock.

The rest of the group turned to look at Kawasaki Masuru.

"Why cut off the wings? That must hurt so much!"

Kawasaki Maru replied expressionlessly, "To prevent the demon bloodline from altering the angel bloodline within me."

"ah?"

R, who had been silent until now, chuckled and explained with interest: "Because the wings of angels are the source of their life. If the wings are cut off or contaminated, it will cause the angel's power, life and other things to be lost forever."

Everyone paused for a moment, then simultaneously let out a drawn-out "Eh."

"Mr. R, how do you know so much about this?" Kaito Kuroba looked over.

R glanced at him with a smile.

Kaito Kuroba silently shut his mouth and made a zipping motion around his mouth.

The movie continues.

After Nathaniel cut the wings off at the base, a golden jar appeared in his hand, which seemed to contain some liquid.

He raised the jar above his head and slowly tilted it to pour the liquid from above his head down.

The liquid flowed through his body, and Nathanael trembled slightly. The pain he felt this time was even greater than when his wings transformed into demonic wings.

But because of the holy water of life, his angel wings gradually grew. And the markings on his face and his sharp nails also disappeared.

Once his wings had grown to be indistinguishable from before, Nathaniel spent time getting used to his newly grown feathers.

It only took him a dozen minutes to go from wobbling to normal flight.

However, it was clear that this was not the first time Nathaniel had experienced this; rather, every so often, the demonic bloodline suppressed by the Holy Water of Life would once again affect his wings.

Nathaniel exhaled, flapped his wings and flew off the ground, then disposed of the demonic wing and the traces of his presence before returning to the angels.

He had barely returned home when Alex came over.

Nathaniel was somewhat surprised and quickly drank a mouthful of holy water of life to temporarily stabilize his aura.

He went outside with a normal expression and looked at Alex, "Alex, what brings you here at this hour?"

Ellex showed no sign of anything amiss. He approached Nathaniel with a smile and said, "The assessment is in a couple of days. I've brought you some things."

He shoved a bunch of stuff into Nathaniel's hands and turned to leave, saying, "I need to go back and check on the preparations for the assessment. I'm off now, let's talk again next time."

Nathaniel glanced at what he was holding, then at Alexon's already departing figure, paused for a moment, then turned and went back into the house.

As for these things, since Elex often brought them to him before, Nathanael had no doubts.

The assessment competition was a simulated battle conducted to verify the angels' overall abilities and to prevent demons from suddenly attacking them.

Although he was still somewhat weak because his wings were newly grown, Nathaniel's skills were not weak, so he achieved a mid-level ranking in the assessment.
