Chapter 465: Blood Angel

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Yang Ling got a huge shock after his powerful Divine Knowledge seeped into the brain of the six-winged angel Ophilia!

He saw dense dark clouds floating on top of her Soul Ocean. The clouds were heavy and oppressive as if the dark clouds were about to bring about a violent storm. Through his high-level Soul Tampering Technique, Yang Ling realized that she had a massive number of memories, with countless information of various kinds. However, the main portion of her memories was enveloped with a black gas, releasing obscure energy ripples.

That’s weird, what exactly is that?

Looking at the strange black gas, Yang Ling did not dare to be careless. He spread his Divine Knowledge slowly outward, slowly interpreting Ophilia’s memories while cautiously avoiding the area surrounded by black gas. As it turned out, just as Ophilia had said, she indeed did not know of the secrets behind the Angel Battle Formation. The other angels were the same.

Every time a high-level angel had to join forces and do battle using the Angel Battle Formation, they would recite a few incantations and activate the Angel Heart near their chests. Following that, they would naturally be able to get into the Angel Battle Formation. Even though she had killed countless cultists using the Angel Battle Formation, she was indeed oblivious to the secrets behind the Angel Battle Formation.

After quickly scanning through Ophilia’s memories, Yang Ling found the thing he had come for. If his guess was right, the secrets of the Angel Battle Formation were being protected and blocked off by the black gas, or in other words, the memories have been encrypted by the black gas! It was no wonder that no one could obtain the secrets of the Angel Battle Formation over the millennia.

If the milky-white light was an outer protective layer, the memories that are being blocked off by this ball of black gas would be the immensely important black box. He would naturally be able to obtain the secrets behind the Angel Battle Formation if he dispelled this strange ball of black gas.

Is this an ancient Mind Magical Spell Formation, or a Soul Restriction?

Looking at the constantly rotating black gas, Yang Ling fell silent in deliberation. It was rumored that several powerful Spellcasters in the history of the Tailun Continent have focused their efforts and specialized in cultivating Mind Magic. They could tamper with someone’s soul without anyone realizing, turning the person into a lunatic or an idiot. However, the ripples of energy released by this black gas gave Yang Ling a faint sense of familiarity, being quite similar to the Soul Restriction recorded on the Stele. At that moment, Yang Ling did not know if the black gas was a so-called Mind Magical Spell Formation or a special form of Soul Restriction.

According to the explanation on the Stele, the Soul Restriction was the most mysterious, as well as the most dangerous, amongst all of the Restrictions. It could delete the memories and consciousness of an individual, or remove a portion of an enemy’s memories. It could also seal a portion of an enemy’s memories, blocking it off from them. Not only would the six-winged angel Ophilia be in danger if he recklessly took action to dispel the spell while he did not understand the full situation, but Yang Ling might also even be devoured by the Restriction.

Cautiously, Yang Ling acted according to what he learned from Ophilia’s memory, agitating her Angel Heart as he closely observed the changes to the black gas. After reciting the strange incantation to activate the Angel Battle Formation, the density of the black gas did not change, but the speed at which it rotated became several times faster, releasing waves of a strange energy ripple. At the same time, Ophilia’s Mental Energy spread outward in a strange wave pattern, the wavelength of the energy getting larger and larger, its frequency also increasing correspondingly.

Could the so-called Angel Battle Formation be a kind of spell that would cause the angels’ Mental Energy to reach a resonance point so as to form them up as a collective, instantly making them able to layer on their strengths?

After testing his theory out several times, Yang Ling became more and more sure of his guess. After taking a deep breath, he carefully released a streak of Divine Knowledge, slowly directing it to seep into the strange black gas. According to the explanation of the Stele, the Soul Restriction was a skill that he could only begin to grasp when he reached the level of Soul Wizard. Currently, he had only come into contact with a minute portion of the skill and thus did not dare to be too careless.

Whoosh...

His Divine Knowledge had just come into contact with the strange black gas when an accident occurred!

The black gas instantly turned into a ball of raging black flames. Not only did the flames burn the soul of the six-winged angel Ophilia’s soul, it even made his way toward Yang Ling following the path of his Divine Knowledge, initiating a fierce attack, its speed leaving Yang Ling with no time to react.

Yang Ling heard a buzz, his head in piercing pain as if he had just been hit by a hammer. His chest felt uncomfortable, as though a giant rock weighing a million pounds was pressing down on it. At the same time, Ophilia involuntarily let out a pathetic cry, the burning of her soul causing her much pain.

Pervert, lunatic, evil demon...

Hearing Yang Ling’s dull grunts and Ophilia’s pathetic cry coming from within the small forest, the angels outside looked at each other, trembling in fear. Not knowing what exactly was going on, all of them thought about the lecherous demons from the legends. If even the six-winged angel Ophilia who was known to be strong and collected was tortured to such an extent, how bad would it be when it was their turn?

“Maria, what do we do?”

“Don’t know, I don’t know either!”

...

Unable to move due to the restraints of the Imprisonment Restriction, the once-proud angels felt as though they were defenseless little lambs. Hearing Ophilia’s cries, each one more pitiful than the last, they felt the hair on their body stand in fear. They were distraught, afraid that they were next in line for that inhumane torture.

Ah...

After letting out a dull grunt and spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood, Yang Ling decisively retracted the Divine Knowledge he sent forward. He did not expect the terrifying black flames to follow along, swarming out toward him from Ophilia’s brain like a tide. If he were to lose the Soul Energy embedded within this portion of his Divine Knowledge, he would not be able to advance to become a Soul Wizard in the future. In fact, he might even lose the progress he accumulated over this period of time and become a beginner Blood Wizard once again.

What do I do?

Yang Ling was alarmed after he realized that he had accidentally come into contact with the Restriction and caused a change in the black gas. At this moment, he finally understood why no one was able to break the secret behind the Angel Battle Formation throughout the millennia. The person who had set up this trap was too sinister, too crafty, too evil. Not only did he leave behind a terrifying means of counter-attack, he even directly ignited the soul of the angel.

The terrifying black flames would keep the experts trying to crack the secret at bay, while at the same time manically burn the soul of the angel. As long as it could completely delete the consciousness and memories of the angel, who would be able to discover the secret within her brain?

Did he have any other choice than to admit that he had fallen for the trap?

Looking at the blanket of black flames, Yang Ling clenched his teeth, feeling indignant that he was going to lose a large amount of Soul Energy just like this. After taking a breath with difficulty, he suddenly remembered the Black Crystal Marrow he had in his Space Ring. He took out the bottle without hesitation and consumed a few drops of the Black Crystal Marrow. In that instant, magnificent energy spread forth from within his body. Not only did his Wizard Power get boosted immensely, but his Mental Energy also increased at an alarming rate.

With blood as a price and souls as a catalyst, I call upon the Flames of Sacrifice to destroy every living creature!

Thinking about the explanation on the Stele, Yang Ling quickly took out the Great Wizard Altar and the Wizard Weapon crystal skull, casting an ancient Wizard Technique — Soul Sacrifice. As a pitiful incantation rang throughout the Wizard Pagoda’s Space, a ball of raging red flames emerged and engulfed his body, surrounding the black flames that had been pursuing him.

In ancient times, in order to deal with the evil demons and dispel their terrifying attacks, the Great Soul Wizards had discovered the Soul Sacrifice Wizard Technique that had alarming power. They could burn their enemies completely into crisp by igniting the soul of a Great Wizard and summoning flames that could destroy everything.

Whoosh...

He had just destroyed the black flames pursuing him when another ball of thick black gas appeared within Ophilia’s brain, flowing out continuously like the tide, quickly exhausting the Soul Energy Yang Ling got from consuming the Crystal Marrow. At the same time, Ophilia stopped convulsing, no longer letting out those alarming, pitiful cries. It was as though Yang Ling had drawn out all of the black flames burning her soul.

Hmph, I do not believe that there is an endless stream of this black gas!

Yang Ling let out a cold grunt, once again consuming a few drops of Crystal Marrow, trying his best to burn the black gas swarming out into ash. Without a doubt, this black gas is the culprit that was sealing the main portion of the angel’s memories. It was the weapon that was preventing outsiders from obtaining the secrets of the Angel Battle Formation. However, no matter how terrifying the black gas was, there must be a time where it gets depleted. As long as he could deplete this terrifying black gas, he could not only avert this crisis but might even benefit by directly obtaining the secrets of the Angel Battle Formation.

One drop, two drops...

Sometime later, just as Yang Ling had clenched his teeth and consumed his tenth drop of Black Crystal Marrow, the terrifying black gas coming from the six-winged angel Ophilia’s brain had finally been depleted. However, just as Yang Ling jumped down from the Great Wizard Altar and was prepared to once again examine Ophilia’s memories, he noticed a startling scene.

He saw that the thinly-veiled, nearly-naked Ophilia had freed herself from the restraints of the Imprisonment Restriction, sincerely groveling on the ground. Her once crystalline wings had become red, as if it had been draped over with a layer of fiery red armor. A blood-red mark of subjugation had appeared between her brow, faintly visible, just like how it was with the Magical Beasts he subjugated.

“Six-winged angel Ophilia thanks master for saving me!” After seeing Yang Ling’s figure, the beautiful Ophilia spoke as she groveled on the ground, completely oblivious to the fact that her perky peaks were peeking out, revealing themselves in front of Yang Ling.

Her thin veil could not cover her twin peaks or her petite figure. Her slender waist formed a stark contrast with her perky butt, forming a voluptuous, alluring figure, along with her fair, tender skin...The azure sky, boundless fields, a beautiful young lady groveling before him like a servant. This scene was beautiful!

Master?

Could he have accidentally subjugated this angel after the Divine Knowledge he left in her brain fused with his blood?

Looking at the angel Ophilia respectfully groveling before him, looking at her blood-red wings, Yang Ling shook his head in disbelief. He did not expect to not only dispel the terrifying black gas, but also unintentionally obtain a powerful angel, a beautiful, servant-like angel.
