Angels appeared to be invincible. They were strong, agile, and destructive. Even Baiyi, in his black meatball form, had trouble dealing with them. Aside from his lack of combat experience, they seemed invincible.
However, the Voidwalkers did not think that way. They believed that angels' power was built on the foundation of mystery and the unknown. Because they did not know them well enough, they could only compete with them in terms of strength, which made them look invincible.
However, the process of saving Noirciel was also the process by which the Voidwalkers learned more about angels. They now knew their bodies like the back of their hands! Combined with the information provided by the former High Priest, the Voidwalkers now had a deep understanding of angels.
Angels' method of descent was similar to that of the Voidwalkers. They both projected their consciousness into a vessel in the real world. The only difference was that the Voidwalkers used armor, whereas angels directly descended into their believers. Unlike the Voidwalkers, who could survive a hole in their chest, the believers' bodies were much more fragile. If they were seriously injured, their descent would forcibly dispel them.
To show the superiority of angels, they would not erase their original consciousness when they descended. However, to make it easier for them to fight, they would block out most of their senses, such as pain. Only angels like Noirciel, who was a sinner, could feel pain due to torture. This was a form of punishment for her.
The Voidwalkers had been studying the angels' unique traits, as well as Baiyi's memories of his battle with Noirciel. The moment the Voidwalkers received the Divine Punishment Notification, they had begun researching strategies to deal with the angels. The purple laser beam that had killed the two angels was one of the results of their research.
The Voidwalkers had discovered that angels were very sensitive to energy fluctuations, but unlike humans, they did not respond to them in a rational manner. Instead, they would simply increase their strength based on their opponent's strength, which was why they were so inflexible. For example, when Baiyi had fought Noirciel in his normal form, she had maintained her normal form. It was only when Baiyi had transformed into his Black Rice Ball form that she revealed her battle form.
Perhaps this frugal fighting style had something to do with their pride? Or perhaps it had something to do with the endurance of their vessel? Of course, it could also be due to the laws of power in this world. In short, angels were the kind of opponents that would not use their full strength right from the start.
Therefore, the Voidwalkers took advantage of this weakness. For example, the purple ray that was shot out by the Voidwalkers had compressed and disguised the Mana as much as possible. Although it looked inconspicuous, in reality, its power was already at the level of a high-level spell. It was more than enough to penetrate the Angel's weak defense in an instant.
Hence, the scene of the angel's careless defense was instantly pierced through the throat.
But if that was all, it would not pose any real threat to the angels. According to the confession of the High Priest who had defected, the angels had a very terrifying self-healing ability. Even if they were lucky enough to break through the divine protection, they could mobilize the divine power to instantly repair the damage. At the same time, because the body was just a carrier, there was no such thing as a weakness. Damage to the brain, heart, or any other fatal point to humans was equivalent to losing a hair to the angels.
This characteristic was actually even more troublesome.
However, the Archmage found inspiration from that fateful battle. If the Wave Energy Art could not be used when the throat was pierced, then could there be a way to prevent the angels from using their insane self-healing abilities?
Therefore, the Voidwalkers carefully studied the theory behind the Angel's Descent. Although they did not have the time to fully understand it, they fortunately discovered another weakness of the angels — the stability of the carrier would affect the angel's stability. This was why the Voidwalkers needed to shield their believers' original consciousness and five senses. If they could awaken the believers' original consciousness and stimulate their senses, they might be able to expel the angels from their believers' bodies.
Based on Baiyi's interactions with Noirciel, this seemed to be a feasible idea. When Lulu's consciousness had resisted, Noirciel's movements had been severely affected, and she had even been convicted.
Therefore, the highly concealed and penetrative purple ray magic was mixed with some of the illusions and spiritual attack techniques of the Charlatan and the Shapeshifter. The moment it hit its target, it would inflict a powerful spiritual attack on the target, awakening their consciousness and causing the existence of the angel to become unstable. This seemingly destructive magic was actually a spiritual attack type magic, and so it was developed.
The results of the first experiment were not bad. The two angels were affected by the spell, and they fell to the ground with a thud.
"I knew it. When our enemies are no longer mysterious, they are no longer as powerful," the Archmage said to the Soul Armature Practitioner, who was standing beside him.
"But this spell is too complicated. Even with my level, it's hard to cast it," the Soul Armature Practitioner said, a little disappointed. The Soul Armature Practitioner sighed in regret. He stole a glance at the Archmage's luxurious, unfinished suit, and felt a twinge of envy. If it were not for the First Walker's equipment and the fact that the Archmage was the one who cast the spell, this complicated spell, which was a mixture of magical and psychic attacks, would only exist in theory.
"This is the essence of magic formation. If we were to use simple runes, we would never be able to cast such complex magic!" The Archmage said with a hint of smugness in his voice.
"But … that also means that no one but you can use this spell!" the Soul Armature Practitioner said.
"That's not important," the Archmage said, a little embarrassed. "After all, this is a sneak attack, and it's very likely that the enemy will be able to see through it. What's more important is that it proves that the angels have a weakness. Everyone should think of a way to defeat the enemy based on their own circumstances."
"Then I guess I'll have to try this." The Soul Armature Practitioner took out the purple orb with the letter "M" on it. "As long as it's not the Archangels, I should be able to deal with ordinary angels, right?"
News of the sudden death of the two angels quickly reached the two Archangels. Paimon was a little surprised, but he asked calmly, "What happened to Andromalius and Dantalin?"
"Let me ask them." Paimon raised his sword and covered his ear with his hand. After a while, he said, "They were attacked. They felt something strange."
"Strange feeling?"
"Pain!" Paimon added.
Paimon froze for a moment. Then, his wings began to tremble, and his voice was laced with anger. "They can make us feel pain?! Blasphemy! This is blasphemy! "
Pain was a special punishment used in the Divine Realm to punish sinners, but the Gods were the only ones who could punish angels. The Archmage's new invention was, without a doubt, an act of blasphemy!
The infuriated Paimon immediately wanted to order the Angel Corps to attack and crush the group of blasphemous villains. However, the calmer Paimon hurriedly dissuaded him. "Wait a little longer. The enemy's sorcery will make us feel pain. This will have an adverse effect on the other soldiers."
"Let the believers go first. With our protection, even mortals are incomparably powerful. Their steadfast faith is enough to crush this group of blasphemous villains."
"Is that so? That's fine. " Paimon, the Archangel, once again pulled out the broken scepter from his robes. This time, Paimon did not stop him. Instead, he cooperated and issued an order to the angels below.
The rest of the angels spread their wings and flew to a certain height and position. Their bodies began to emit a dazzling light. The light gathered and formed a line in the air, drawing a mysterious rune that no mortal had ever seen before.
If Noirciel was still conscious, she would have reminded the Voidwalkers that this was a Proxy Ritual. It was a ritual that an angel had to perform before using the Arbiter's Authority. If she had performed this ritual before using the Arbiter's Authority to banish Baiyi, she would not have ended up like this.
"Supreme True God, Bella, I, Paimon, will execute your Authority and punish these evil blasphemers," Paimon announced in a loud voice as he tossed the scepter into the air.
As the remaining half of the Arfin God's Authority dissipated into thin air, a violent spatial ripple appeared outside of Arfin City. The entire city began to distort, and a few moments later, a hundred thousand believers clad in light-forged armor and wielding light-forged weapons appeared out of thin air. Their bodies glowed with the golden light of blessings as they surrounded Arfin City in an instant.
"Whoa!" Even the Archmage, who was used to seeing such a scene, was shocked. He knew that no one would be able to send so many people to their doorstep in an instant.
No one had expected such a sneak attack from a True God's Authority.
As Archangel Paimon swung his sword, an angel's voice rang in the minds of the believers. As if they had been brainwashed, they pounced on Arfin City's walls in a frenzy. Ignoring the fact that they did not have any siege weapons with them, they slashed at the walls and gates with their swords.
The Archmage looked at the crazed worshippers and began to bombard them with spells. The spells were powerful enough to blast the worshippers into pieces, but under the protection of the Light Forged Armor and the angel's protection, the spells were barely enough to send the worshippers flying. Even if they were injured, they would recover at a speed visible to the naked eye.
