Chapter 1772 - 1761: Tearing Off the Wings
Chapter 1772 - 1761: Tearing Off the Wings
The closer he got to the black wings, the faster the golden light was extinguished.During this process, Ning Fan had to endure the pain in his palm, feeling as though he was holding a burning branding iron.
The wings of light formed by black Holy Power were tangibly grasped by Ning Fan.
Noticing the anomaly in his back, Hilde exclaimed in panic, "Sinner, how dare you desecrate the divine body!"
"Divine body my ass. Watch me rip off your bird wings."
Ning Fan exerted force with both hands, his arm muscles bulging high, pulling at the wings viciously as if uprooting grass.
Hilde shrieked miserably, "No…"
In the secret records of the Holy Temple, angels were creatures created by the Holy Lord.
They possess the most intricate body structure, the most skillful combat techniques, and the most sensitive battle intuition...
In short, they are perfect creatures born for battle.
The power of the angel largely comes from the wings on the back,
which are classified into two wings, four wings, and six wings according to levels of power...
Each additional pair of wings geometrically multiplies the angel's strength.
Moreover, angels are divided into a winged and a non-winged form.
An angel in a winged form is twice as strong as one not in that form.
But having wings exposed equals revealing their weakness.
Losing wings is equivalent to losing their proud strength.
So generally, if possible, angels don't spread their wings.
This was also why Hilde did not spread his wings earlier.
At this moment, Hilde's face was pale, and the superiority in his eyes from just now was lost.
If Ning Fan were to rip his wings off, the angel would be forced to end the projection effect due to the loss of power.
At that time, Hilde would certainly die without a doubt.
In some cases, the weakest point often means the strongest place.
Just like now.
"These bird wings are really sturdy."
A hint of embarrassment flashed across Ning Fan's face, forcing him to release his left hand, abandoning the idea of ripping off both wings simultaneously.
If it weren't for the real tactile sensation of the feathers in his hand, Ning Fan might have given up.
"Get up for me!"
Ning Fan knew clearly that there was only this one opportunity, and he already put all his strength into it.
As both hands slowly lifted, the black wings were pulled out by the roots.
There was no splatter of blood; when the black wings left the body, they lost the support of Holy Power and turned back to their original white color.
Meanwhile, a surge of overwhelming Holy Power gushed out from the wound.
Ning Fan, who was preparing to pull off the other wing, was immediately hit by the Holy Power, feeling dizzy and disoriented,
Under the wash of this massive black Holy Power, Ning Fan's dim golden light vanished completely, ending his Divine General state.
Using the last bit of True Qi to stabilize himself, Ning Fan stared ahead fixedly.
The disappearance of the Divine General state meant that Ning Fan lost his greatest reliance.
Right now, it's truly at a critical point of either your life or mine.
After losing a wing, Hilde only felt like there was a pump inside him, continuously drawing out the Holy Power from the wound.
For Hilde, the loss of power was not scary.
But the key issue was that the sudden loss of Holy Power disrupted the balance of reversed Holy Light.
The reason the Sanctuary of Light claims to be the light and considers itself humanity's savior is because of their unique power.
Holy Power can dispel evil and save lives, which is a force of justice, a force of protection, bringing light and blessings to humanity.
In their doctrine, the first line states that the Holy Lord created light to expel darkness and granted humanity the protective Holy Light Power.
Because of this, the Sanctuary of Light considers itself orthodox, with Holy Power's restraint on dark creatures further deepening their concept.
But only a few top officials in the Temple know that Holy Power is no different from ordinary power, also having a destructive side.
The reversed Holy Light is a form of triggering the destructive side of Holy Power, having attributes like destruction, corrosion, and toxicity, usually owned only by dark forces.
For the Sanctuary of Light, the reversed Holy Light is a forbidden power.
Hilde happens to be one of the few who mastered this forbidden power.
Upon discovering that the mild "Holy Power" was ineffective against Ning Fan, Hilde did not hesitate to reverse the Holy Light.
The Holy Light with destructive attributes is a power that harms both the enemy and oneself.
Therefore, under reversed Holy Light, Hilde's Holy Power maintained a balance of destruction and protection.
It unleashed the destructive side of Holy Power while also protecting his own body from harm.
But now, the massive loss of Holy Power broke this balance, causing the destructive side of the Holy Power to spiral out of control.
"What the heck is going on?"
Watching the black Holy Power flicker like flames,
At this moment, Hilde, enveloped by the black Holy Power, let out a series of full-throated screams that pierced the skies, causing the clouds to stir.
"It seems like I don't need to act anymore."
A bitter smile appeared on Ning Fan's face; even if he had a chance to act, he could only be willing but unable to do anything.
Having lost the Divine General state, Ning Fan was at his most fragile moment, with True Qi nearly exhausted, barely able to maintain anti-gravity.
His entire body was in a wretched state, with no intact parts, covered with patches of black scabs.
If it weren't for the divine power dissipating in time to fend off the wash of black Holy Power, Ning Fan would have been left with no flesh, just a skeleton.
Just as Ning Fan hoped for Hilde to set himself on fire and perish,
The scene had another unexpected change. The one remaining wing on Hilde's back suddenly burst out with a dazzling white light,
like a stream of pulp, it flowed from the wing, enveloping every part of Hilde's body.
It was as if the black Holy Power had never appeared; Hilde once again took on the appearance of a messenger of light, solemn, dignified, compassionate…
The only slightly comical part was the one remaining wing on Hilde's back, looking quite incongruous.
"This time it's really over."
Ning Fan's heart sank into coldness, as the divine blood attached to his heart showed no sign of movement, with the divine power still flowing slowly through his body.
At the critical moment, the power released by the wing calmed the out-of-control Holy Power, but Hilde lost his previous grace.
Hilde looked sluggish as a whole, with a dull and lifeless gaze.
That handsome face, to the point of making Ning Fan envious, now seemed three times as old as before, with a kind of dying air of twilight.
Unclear whether it was losing a wing causing his body to lose balance, or that too much power was lost.
Hilde's anti-gravity state wobbled, like a drunkard.
"Fall, fall…"
Always one who scoffs at fate, Ning Fan now only hoped heaven would give him a hand, dropping this old fellow to become mush.
"Is there really a deity?"
A miraculous scene occurred, as the unsteady Hilde, with one misstep, staggered and plunged towards the ground freely.
