NOVEL ONLINE FREE Chapter 248 Another thing
Angela's sword rose majestically towards the sky, unleashing a torrent of flames that surged with fervor. The sky, cleaved by the might of her weapon, watched as the clouds scattered in two opposite directions, revealing glimpses of light between the newly formed clearings.
From above, tiny flames descended like specks of light into the dark vastness of the ground, where no tree or vegetation dared to grow, plunging the surroundings into a lightless depth. Amidst this gloom, only Angela's wings and figure stood out as points of light, illuminating the space with their radiance.
However, the radiance emanating from Angela was not synonymous with tranquility. Her face twisted in a grimace of concentration and pain, lips slightly parted, allowing a trail of blood to escape. The flames surrounding her began to consume her, devouring her own skin like a voracious fire. She had kept her bloodline active for too long, exhausting her mana to the limit.
In the center of that improvised battlefield, a circle of light materialized under Angela's feet, expanding as her magical power overflowed. Her intense white eyes fixed on the enemy before her, Anthony Von Valeriano, his complexion slightly pale.
With clenched teeth and a steady hand gripping her sword, Anthony unfolded his four wings. In a flash, his figure disappeared, eclipsed by the speed of his movements. The magical seals Alicia had prepared activated simultaneously, enhancing the power of the luminous circle beneath Angela.
It began to spin rapidly as the shadows around her came to life, taking on a physical form that menacingly lunged towards the young woman.
With a cry of concentration, Angela raised the circle of light surrounding her, allowing her own flames to engulf her in a fiery whirlwind. A deafening roar shook the surroundings, making what remained of the island tremble beneath their feet. Angela held on tenaciously, but the impact sent her violently upwards, rolling on the ground with unbridled force.
When she finally managed to stop her fall and stand up, her bruised body and blood-stained white tunic, Angela surveyed the devastation that lay before her. The forest, once teeming with life, was now consumed by the darkness emanating from Anthony; her flames attempted to consume the darkness but failed miserably, in fact, her flames were consumed.
Angela concentrated her mana to solidify the flames in her left hand, thus creating a second sword. With mastery, she adopted a dual-wielding stance, one sword forward and the other back. In a flash, her figure disappeared, prepared for the confrontation.
The clash of swords resonated as Angela and Anthony faced off. Frowning, Angela wielded her swords skillfully, but the darkness behind Anthony writhed, forming a shadowy hand that attempted to ensnare her. Though she managed to cut it, the attack was not completely halted.
Anthony's eyes flickered with barely perceptible madness as the battle reached its climax. Thousands of dark hands sprang from the ground, eager to trap Angela and halt her advance. Amidst the chaos, Angela found herself in trouble, facing an enemy whose darkness seemed insatiable.
However, the flames burning deep within Angela shimmered with a dazzling brightness, projecting their light through her skin. With this internal luminosity as her guide, Angela gritted her teeth and let her mana flow in its purest form.
The intensity of her energy was so overwhelming that Anthony was forced to close his eyes, while the flames around him became chaotic, manifesting as a hungry beast roaring in all directions.
The darkness enveloping Anthony momentarily retreated before Angela's unleashed force. His eyes widened in surprise as he glimpsed a transparent sword almost grazing his neck, while his instincts screamed in desperation. An aura solidified around him, almost adhering to his skin, as a pair of white eyes observed him solemnly.
Angela's body radiated a celestial glow through her skin, her wings transformed into white flames burning brightly. The swords lengthened, and from their blades emerged diverse colored crystals, each emanating a unique radiance. Anthony's senses were overwhelmed as the crystals began to glow intensely, surrounding him completely in a circle of light.
Angela's white flames spread across the ground, consuming the darkness surrounding Anthony. From the sky, the flames fell like rain, enveloping everything in their glow. For a moment, Angela's body seemed to become entirely crystalline, while Anthony's eyes watched the spectacle with astonishment and admiration.

Closing his eyes, Anthony allowed a darker, more twisted essence to emerge from the depths of his being. Contaminated by the essence of death, this energy intertwined with the dark flames surrounding him, as black as the night itself. His body trembled uncontrollably, his heartbeats increasing at an insurmountable rate, and blood began to flow from his seven orifices.
Clamping his teeth tightly, Anthony felt his veins bulging throughout his body. In the depths of his soul's sea, the dragon residing within observed attentively. The fairy hid within his chest, watching with fear everything happening around them. Her black eyes reflected anxiety as the dragon shook its head, assessing the situation.
Through Anthony's eyes, the dragon observed the white-clad girl intensely. It recognized her strength, her lineage belonging to the angels who once populated the skies. It remembered how thousands of them fell, staining the clouds red with their blood as they plummeted to the earth. Each fallen angel transformed the ground beneath them into an uninhabitable, desolate place.
The dragon understood that although the girl had the blood of an angel running through her veins, she was not entirely an angel. She was human, and for this reason, the pure flames consumed her when she activated her bloodline for too long. However, her bloodline was pure, as pure as that of the angels themselves.
If she were to evolve her lineage, she would cease to be human and become something more.
From the deepest recesses of Anthony's soul, the almost green essence forcefully mingled with the essence of darkness, colliding with each other. Anthony's soul trembled violently, the Dragon raised its massive head, and its eyes gleamed. Anthony's soul ceased its trembling, and the two essences began to calm down.
