The Shepherd's Covenant

During a ritual to summon demons, Aihuas finally recalled memories of his previous life.

This was supposed to be an online game developed and operated by his own company for six years. Now, h...

Chapter 936 Wings of Redemption

Chapter 936 Wings of Redemption

...What is going on?

Aiwass was stunned for a moment.

Normally, every time Aiwass summons another Sin Beast, the previous summoning should be canceled.

Because there can only be one Sin Beast on the field at the same time - this does not limit Aiwass's summons, it will only cause the previous Sin Beast to be replaced.

But when Aiwass casually summoned the Night Demon, he could still clearly feel the breath of the Flame-Defying Butterfly from Yulia—

"Lia?"

Aiwass asked tentatively, "Are you still there?"

"I'm here, Dad."

The bow on Yulia's head made the sound of a flame butterfly.

It flew directly over Yulia's head and turned into the widow in the black skirt and flaming wings in the vortex of fiercely burning flames.

Yulia widened her eyes and looked at this powerful phantom demon who looked about 70% similar to herself, with an indifferent and noble temperament, like an adult version of herself... or in other words, like her mother.

"oh……"

The Night Demon also made an exclamation sound.

Although he could usually view the world from Aiwas's perspective, this was the first time that Night Demon faced and existed at the same time as the Flame-Rebellious Butterfly.

It's like the moon meeting the sun.

She couldn't help but transform briefly into her true form. Unlike the Flame-Defying Butterfly, the Night Demon's time in revealing its true form was limited. Therefore, she usually preferred to use the crow form.

This time Aiwass was able to confirm it.

Two beasts of sin can actually be materialized at the same time in this way, completely circumventing the restrictions on the beasts of sin!

Just like the apostles taking on flesh...

"However," Leah, the Flame-Defying Butterfly, closed her eyes and felt the power within her body, "If it manifests in this way... the power of the Dao within me is only half."

"Half means... half the power and everything?"

Yulia couldn't help but ask.

After seeing the appearance of the Flame-Rebellious Butterfly, she inexplicably developed a strong liking for her.

It's said that people naturally develop a liking for those who look like them. Perhaps this is the reason, Yulia thought.

"No," the Flame-Bearing Butterfly stroked Yulia's soft hair. "All other powers should be fully usable, though their durability will be reduced to half. For example, the Guided Flame Stream, Fire Meteor, Butterfly Sacrificial Fire, and Doomsday Ray... their power won't change, only their duration will be reduced. The only one whose power will be reduced is probably the self-destruction.

"Also, I can't stray too far from Yulia, or I'll be forcibly recalled. The maximum distance is probably only sixty meters... so neither fireballs nor self-destruction should be used."

"I seem to have gained similar power."

Yulia murmured softly and held out her hand.

The golden-red flames erupted from her body, becoming physical objects, wrapping around her arms like snakes and ropes. Before Yulia, the flames were as docile and obedient as living creatures.

She can even condense flames into a long whip, and even...

As Aiwass watched in amazement, the flames in Yulia's hands condensed into flame butterflies. These fluttered and transformed into a small fox composed entirely of flames. It leaped nimbly, splashing into the ground and disintegrating into flame butterflies once more.

"...I feel like I could even use it to condense into a lion, or a giant python."

Yulia herself didn't even know why she could do such a thing: "But I clearly don't have the Dao trait of affinity with fire..."

"Because this is your own power."

The Flame Butterfly gently stroked Yulia's head - she was even taller than Aiwass, and now that Yulia had grown a lot taller, she still looked like a child in front of her.

Looking at this scene, an idea inexplicably emerged in Aiwass's mind:

When Yulia and Flame Butterfly are placed together, they look like two Pokémon of the same family that have evolved once, then mega-evolved after completing their evolution...

"Just like demons can use the demonic power within them. If I woke up normally, without my father's seal... if I had communicated with you and was willing to lend you my power, you would have been able to use my power in the same way. Even if you didn't become a transcendent..."

The Flame-Defying Butterfly didn't finish.

But Aiwass and Yulia both knew what she meant by the rest of the sentence - although one can use this power without becoming a superhuman, the fragile mortal body can only withstand how much force before it collapses. Leah and Yulia both knew it.

They were separated by Aiwass in the past, and now they have been purified and stabilized and injected back into the body...

Aiwass fell into deep thought.

...Sounds like some kind of molecular cuisine, like Dragon's Gin Strawberry or something.

"Liya, Vignes, I'm going to do an experiment."

Aiwass called out to his two sin beasts and had another idea.

He hadn't used the new power he had received from Lucifer yet.

——In addition to the "Lost Paradise" that allowed Aiwass to fight against the Fallen Angels without losing at all, Aiwass also inherited a power belonging to the path of transcendence from Lucifer.

[Transcendence - Redemption of Sin: The Sin Beast you summon can merge with the White Wings of Gospel, bearing each other's sins, sharing each other's status, and synchronizing each other's wills; strengthens "Paradise Lost" and reduces its cooldown by one day.]

Aiwass had never used this ability before.

The main reason was that in the battle that required him to use the "Redemption of Sin", he did not dare to fuse the beast of sin he summoned - who would suddenly cut off an arm to test new abilities in a life-and-death duel?

Each beast of sin can only be summoned once a day.

But if the Butterfly of Rebellion attached to Yulia's body can also be accommodated by [Redemption of Sin], it means that Aiwass can completely prepare the "Beast of Sin" for consumption in advance, first use [Redemption of Sin] to fuse the Butterfly of Rebellion in Yulia's body, and then use the Phantom Card to summon the Butterfly of Rebellion!

Just like when Aiwass was preparing for a crucial battle, he would often burn cards a day in advance to summon a powerful enough Sin Beast. This way, the next day, the cooldown of other Phantom Magic Cards would be restored and he could use them again.

Seeing several white wings suddenly burst out from behind Aiwass, Leah and Vines also understood.

Yulia was surprised: "Brother, turned into... an angel?"

The cultural heritage of Herasil occasionally contains angels with pure white wings. These "angels" are not apostles of the Sand Clock, nor do they possess any divine will or power. They are merely cultural imprints left by winged beings who once existed.

The only winged beings left today are probably a few marginal tribes like the harpy. Because they are the weakest, they have survived to this day.

The most powerful branch to which the Great Masters, Supreme Heavens, and Fallen Angels belonged—a group that could even be directly named "Winged Ones"—has long since become extinct.

Yulia had already been quite interested in the antlers on Aiwass's head, but now she was even more surprised by the six white wings inlaid with gold on his back.

And the next moment, she felt that the power in her body was being stripped away - the power belonging to the Flame-Rebellious Butterfly was being taken back by Aiwass!

The Night Demon and the Flame Butterfly turned into a stream of light and fell into the wings behind Aiwas.

——Redemption from great sins!

Of the six white wings behind Aiwass, two turned into a warm red and a deep purple-black.

The Wild Hunt King who was not summoned was not fused by Aiwass.

The fused Flame Butterfly and Night Demon brought Aiwass an almost terrifying power—

Paradise Lost itself is a decisive battle skill that requires a total of 66 mana points to use, and can strip away a total of 66% of the opponent's resistance.

And now, two new entries have emerged on Paradise Lost:

Paradise Lost: Dry Warm Fire: The power and range of Paradise Lost are tripled.

Paradise Lost: Darkness of Hateful Rebuke: Paradise Lost's Resistance Stripping ability is enhanced to reduce all attribute resistance by 66%. When Paradise Lost hits, it also dispels up to eight additional buffs.

This is……

What a powerful increase!

Aiwass was shocked.

——Is this Lucifer’s legacy?

As expected of the heir of the Winged Celestials, the leader of the winged race. Even if the Snakes plotted against them, and only a few managed to ascend to Fallen Angels, they were still able to create a race as powerful as the Demons...

Aiwass suddenly remembered that the wings of the Fallen Angels were all purple-black.

In the game, during the battle against the Fallen Angels, the opponent will also use the "Lost Paradise" transition mechanism, flying into the air and launching continuous light blade bombardments.

But this skill is not a team-killing skill that can only be survived by using the mechanism. It has a red circle prompt and can be avoided by rolling or walking directly. Even if you don't dodge, you only need to gather and use two or three group protection skills to stand still and survive. After all, it hits the entire screen and will not concentrate too much firepower on the same point.

It's almost impossible for two shells to land in the same crater.

This random full-screen attack mechanism, if you stand still you can take at most two hits, but if you move you might take a bunch of hits in a row...

The terrifying thing about this mechanic is that a single hit can dispel all buffs on a player and reduce all resistances by 66%. If a group isn't gathered together for mutual protection, a lone player only needs one hit; a second hit will kill them.

But in reality, the Fallen Angels would definitely not be stupid enough to bomb the open air.

In other words, this copy weakened the Fallen Angel's expressiveness and combat intelligence in order to enhance gameplay.

But no matter what... Aiwass now has this mechanism!

Moreover, the Fallen Angel only has one attribute enhancement, while Aiwass may have up to six - or even less than six. After the enhancement of the Flame Butterfly, the Lost Paradise with a three-fold increase in power has already given Aiwass the possibility of defeating the Fallen Angel in a wave of battles!

Thinking of this, Aiwass's expression became more subtle.

...Why does it feel like he's getting further and further on the road to becoming a BOSS?

I'm still writing chapter 2, meow! I think it'll be done before 8 o'clock!

When I woke up from my first nap at noon, my temperature was 37.6. I got up, ate some porridge and took some medicine, and woke up again at three o'clock. The fever was gone!

I feel that although cats are often sick, they are still quite resistant to death (chest up)
