Chapter 132: Wing Broken

“My God of Sky…”

It was evident that Sigrid had once again experienced a tremendous shock.

Just like Vilyric’s hidden strength far exceeded her expectations, the poor captain probably never imagined that this Mage One Fan, with terrible card skills and could barely stand against her, possessed such terrifying power.

But Vilyric didn’t have the time to slowly explain or tease her now; it was time to get down to business.

“Xiao Guang, capture her, alive.”

“Understood!”

The eager Giant Dragon Daughter finally received her master’s permission and no longer held back. She was certainly not one to just take hits, regardless of whether she knew her opponent or not.

Xiao Guang only knew that anyone who dared to attack her master was the enemy!

Given that there were some outsiders watching, she didn’t reveal too many of her draconic traits or unique powers under Vilyric’s covert orders. Dealing with a mere low-level nuisance didn’t require the Little Dragon Daughter’s real capabilities.

With her delicate toes barely touching the ground, the Blonde Girl instantly crossed dozens of meters, appearing right in front of the Gray-Winged Angel, delivering a simple yet powerful punch!

Hilda’s lifeless gray eyes showed no emotion as she immediately spread her wings and soared upward, countless shield-like vines layering to defend against the Little Dragon Daughter’s fist, while more vines wrapped around her body.

“Bang!”

The massive vine shield was shattered by the Giant Dragon Daughter’s fierce punch, exploding as the outer layer burst apart. However, Hilda had already taken advantage of this brief moment to create distance, while those numerous interfering vines suddenly tightened, wrapping her up like a sealed gray dumpling!

“Vilyric, why aren’t you helping?!”

As an onlooker, Sigrid was more anxious than the parties involved, and at the slightest change, she hurriedly shouted a warning, looking suspicious.

The Priestess next to her turned back helplessly.

“Xiao Guang is not so easily defeated. Be good and don’t fuss; I’m thinking.”

“Guh…”

Sure enough, before Sigrid could say anything more, the innumerable fine strands tightly binding the Little Dragon Daughter, obscuring the view inside and exuding thick gray mist, suddenly exploded.

Completely unscathed, the Blonde Girl showcased platinum dragon wings that had appeared out of nowhere, cracking the ground as she chased after the Gray-Winged Angel who had just taken to the sky, ready to cast her next spell, landing another plain punch!

One side didn’t like speaking in front of outsiders, while the other was controlled by special powers, fighting like a puppet. They silently agreed not to communicate verbally, directly engaging in a fierce aerial battle.

That said, even restricting themselves to physical combat and not utilizing any skills, the formidable dragon body derived from the Diamond Crystal Dragon was enough for Xiao Guang to forcefully trample most opponents in the simplest way. Hilda, transformed into a hybrid angel, was no exception.

Hilda was primarily a Mage. Despite the corruption caused by withering power transforming her into a tainted angel, she still managed to sustain herself using exquisite spell manipulation and strange new powers, but could not withstand the Giant Dragon Daughter’s relentless pursuit.

After all, she was not proficient in close combat, and Xiao Guang’s exceptional defensive abilities rendered virtually all of Hilda’s counterattacks meaningless. After a few exchanges in the air, the Gray-Winged Angel’s left wing was cleaved off by a single strike from the Blonde Girl, making her fall helplessly downward.

“Ah, looks like the winner has been decided.”

The Priestess, who had been observing from the start to finish, emotionlessly declared the outcome of this fight, which was already predictable.

While Pseudo-Gods were indeed powerful, that was merely relative to ordinary people in this world. Although the true might of actual gods was unknown, the Pseudo-Gods Vilyric had encountered so far felt like they were in the level 70-80 range.

In【Illusory World】, the normal monsters they faced in dungeons were all above level 80. Although level was important, it was merely a foundation; far too many factors influenced true strength.

Take Lucas, for instance. Although also only level 80, he surpassed ordinary level 80 Guardians of Heaven by more than just a little.

After knocking down the Gray-Winged Angel, the Giant Dragon Daughter unabashedly pursued and used her overpowered speed to smash Hilda’s other wing and limbs a few times, then kicked away that strange staff before dusting off her hands and turning around.

“Master, the mission is complete.”

“Mm, well done.”

Vilyric didn’t think Xiao Guang’s actions were excessive or cruel. Setting aside that they had no deep connections, Hilda was now an enemy. No matter what had transpired earlier, an enemy was an enemy.

When dealing with an enemy, there could be no slack; even if they didn’t kill them, it was essential to ensure they were incapacitated and unable to pose any threat before discussing anything else.

As the group approached Hilda, who could no longer move and was twitching lightly like a stranded fish, Sigrid showed a look of pity, seemingly about to lean down to inspect her but was intercepted by Leona from behind.

This elder Priestess said nothing, merely shaking her head silently at the white-winged girl.

Even without speaking, everyone could understand her meaning.

This was no longer Hilda. Given the ruthlessness with which she had struck earlier, now even with her limbs severed and lying on the ground like a broken puppet, the lifeless gray eyes showed no signs of movement. This once was one of the【Four Wings】, now utterly transformed into something akin to an Abyss Beast.

To hesitate and risk injury over compassion would truly be foolish.

The Priestess glanced appreciatively at the obviously mature woman, who was evidently the leader among the four Priests, then bent down to inspect the fallen angel with broken wings.

“How is her strength?”

“Marginally acceptable. By the average standard of this world… it’s fine, but she’s not as strong as that guy from the last island.”

Hmm, turns out she’s just a pawn after all.

That guy… The mysterious figure on Omoland, could he be the one who turned Hilda into her current state? Is the destruction of the Island of Spris also connected to this?

Carrying such doubts, Vilyric placed her hand on Hilda to activate【Information Detection】.

But at that moment, a sudden change occurred!

“Whoosh!!”

A dead gray light shot out like lightning from the vine-like mark on the Gray-Winged Angel’s forehead, instantly entering the corresponding position of the nearest Black-haired Girl, vanishing without a trace.

This didn’t seem to be a purely offensive move, and even the urgent protection of【Feather Clothes · Glareia】was not triggered.

“Master!”

“Vilyric!”

“Lady Vilyric!”

Multiple exclamations rang out around her, but as the party involved, the Priestess found her world collapsing back into a blur before undergoing a seismic upheaval once more.

“?”

The light flickered, and Vilyric found herself solidly landing in a somewhat familiar location.
