?
The entire palace trembled with the sound waves, and the crystal chandelier above the hall shattered from the vibrations.
The palace guards with weaker abilities clutched their ears tightly, but the sound waves still penetrated, like invisible hands piercing their eardrums and stirring their brains.
Most of the guards writhed in pain on the ground, bleeding from their seven orifices, continually wailing in agony.
Even the powerful elders of the Council of Elders were affected by the sound waves, their minds reeling, bodies chilled, and hands and feet trembling.
"Miss, this is bad! A huge black angel is approaching from outside the city. The city's walls and defenses can't stop it at all..." Benedict rushed in, his face tense and worried as he spoke to Leslie.
The imperial city's defensive army had been taken over and the city was on lockdown.
But even with such tight security, the mysterious, shadow-like Fallen Angel seemed unstoppable.
It smashed through the thick, ancient city walls and shattered the city's protective array! It charged straight towards them!
Even the well-trained magical army, joining forces to intercept, could not budge it in the slightest.
Instead, they suffered heavy casualties and could no longer hold their ground!
Leslie glanced in the direction of the approaching Fallen Angel. Her bright eyes seemed to pierce through the void, seeing the black-winged figure closing in.
She felt a bit of a headache. She had considered all other factors and even mobilized the city's garrison in advance to deal with unexpected situations.
But she hadn't anticipated that the Council of Elders would have such a deep connection with the Fallen Angel.
This sudden event caught her somewhat off guard.
The magical army was incredibly strong, capable of besieging even a platinum-tier mage, but they couldn't harm the Fallen Angel in the slightest, which showed how powerful it was.
Suddenly, Owen, standing beside Leslie, heard a system notification in his ear.
Sensing the approach of the Fallen Angel:
Defeat the Fallen Angel, reward unknown. Escape, lose 50% HP.
Owen unhesitatingly chose to defeat the Fallen Angel.
Whether out of curiosity about the Fallen Angel or his current predicament, he had no other choice.
Having made his decision, Owen immediately looked at Leslie.
"Leave the matters within the palace to you; I'll handle the Fallen Angel."
Leslie tilted her head to look at Owen, seriously scrutinizing him for a moment before asking, "Are you aware of what a Fallen Angel is?"
Owen nodded, "Naturally."
His understanding of the Fallen Angel was deeper and more profound than Leslie's.
Fallen Angels were unique beings whose levels naturally increased over time without the need for training.
The older they were, the more terrifying their combat power!
Moreover, Fallen Angels had a natural mark, their angel rings, which could serve as a signature.
If someone killed a Fallen Angel, its ring would automatically merge into the killer's body, forming a dark ring mark.
Anyone marked would be hunted by the Fallen Angel clan for life until the entire clan was exterminated!
Owen smiled slightly, "The Fallen Angel race is extremely strange and powerful. I know very well that while other mages might struggle to deal with it, it is unfortunate that it encounters me. You handle the matters inside the palace."
Leslie didn't know why Owen was so confident, but she knew Owen was extremely mysterious. Since he was so certain and had a way to deal with it, it must be true.
After all, Owen had created countless miracles so far.
"Very well, I'll take care of the palace affairs. Be careful and just hold it off. Once the palace matters are settled, I'll come to support you as soon as possible!"
Leslie knew that now was not the time for hesitation; it was a time for cooperation and mutual trust.
Owen nodded, then glanced at Madelyn and the bewildered Duke Charles, nodding to them before stepping out and rushing in the direction of the Fallen Angel.
Owen moved quickly.
The Fallen Angel was too powerful, and delaying even a moment would result in more injuries to the mages on their side trying to impede it, which he did not want to see.
As soon as Owen rushed out of the palace, he could see the distant sky filled with dark clouds, shifting like malevolent spirits. Under these clouds, a roughly five-meter-tall Fallen Angel flapped its black wings, charging forward like a giant bird.
All the formations and magical attacks in its path were like paper, corroded to nothing by the black mist emanating from its body before they could even touch it.
Seeing it from afar, Owen felt a weight on his chest, his breathing slightly labored. Although he knew of the Fallen Angel's existence, seeing it in person was different. The terror it radiated caused the mana within him to wail in warning, urging Owen to flee.
"The Fallen Angel is powerful, but it has obvious weaknesses."
Taking a deep breath, Owen continued rushing towards the Fallen Angel while focusing his
gaze on the Fate Store.
After defeating John earlier, he had gained a total of 10,000 fate points, bringing his total to 14,450 fate points.
He had been reluctant to use them before.
Now was the time!
A flash of light appeared before Owen as the Fate Store opened.
A dazzling array of items appeared before Owen. These items were mainly divided into three categories: skill scrolls, items, and weapons.
Previously, Owen had purchased items such as the Basic Healing Skill and the Order of Fire
from the Fate Store.
He had never bought any weapons from here.
On one hand, the weapons in the Fate Store were extremely rare and precious, naturally requiring a significant number of fate points.
On the other hand, he already had the Spear of Godslaying and didn't need other weapons.
Now, Owen's gaze quickly scanned the various weapons and settled on the [Spear of
Longinus].
Spear of Longinus: This is a spear that once pierced the Angel of God. When divine blood spilled and stained the spear, this legendary weapon was transformed into a divine weapon, capable of annihilating extreme malice, free from worldly cause and effect or curses. Where the spearhead points, even mythical beings become mere sustenance. It is the absolute nemesis of the angelic race.
However, this spear is also cursed by the Angel of God. Anyone who wields it will suffer a bloody backlash.
After reading the description of the Spear of Longinus, Owen felt more reassured. This spear had slaughtered deities and various mythical creatures, and since the Fallen Angel belonged to the angelic race, it too would be restrained by the Spear of Longinus.
He looked at the required fate points-10,000!
A full 10,000 fate points!
It was more expensive than everything Owen had previously purchased from the Fate Store
combined!
If he hadn't defeated John and gained those 10,000 fate points, he would have only been able
to look at it longingly.
"Though expensive, it's worth it!" Owen reluctantly confirmed the purchase.
This Fallen Angel was as good as his!
Immediately, the system interface turned blood red, looking like flowing blood, gushing and
surging, making a creepy gurgling sound.
The indescribable bloodthirsty madness made it seem as if the entire world was submerged in
a sea of blood!
Then, in the flowing sea of blood, a blade that seemed to tear through the void manifested, splitting the blood red apart, dividing the chaotic heavens and earth.
Next, a mottled and ancient spear appeared before Owen.
This was a spear approximately two meters long. Its shaft was covered in blood-red rust,
stained with the blood of countless deities.
One could almost see countless beings wailing and trembling, and the heavens and earth
collapsing!
