The Angel in charge was called Lisfiel. He used his Heavenly Energy to grab Rean's Badge to check. After sending his DIvine Sense inside, he confirmed that Badge was legit, which puzzled him. "Alright, the image and the Badge are okay. It still doesn't explain your arrival in this place. Why did you come here a day ahead of schedule? Where are the rest that should have come with you?"
Rean nodded before explaining. "Unfortunately, I can't tell you. All I can say is that I'm under the orders of Lay Lara and need to leave straight away."
The guy narrowed his eyes. Yet, he knew that Lara was the commanding officer of the Angels on the other side of the Temporal Connection Gap. "Alright, but I will need to confirm it with her. You wouldn't mind waiting just a moment as I send someone to the other side, right? The Transfer only takes a few minutes anyway."
Rean nodded without thinking twice. "Yes, Lady Lara is also on the other side. You can confirm it straight away."
Lisfiel kept his eyes on Rean before immediately passing an order to one of his subordinates. "Hastian, you go inside and check the content with Lara on the other side. Say that it was Lisfiel who sent the request." Although he found Rean's sudden appearance suspicious, he was sure Rean was an Angel. Angels care a lot about each other, so he didn't believe Rean wanted to break any rules. But then again, he had to confirm it since this Temporal Connection Gap was too important.
"Yes, sir!" Hastian didn't waste time and immediately jumped into the Temporal Connection Gap. As a Middle Stage Elemental Space Angel, he wouldn't be at risk of dying due to the Spatial Instabilities in that gap.
Rean kept his serious expression and put his hand on his back. It was as if he didn't care about it at all.
Hastian appeared inside the Temporal Connection and was immediately pulled by the Spatial Currents inside... or so it should have happened.
'Life Style, Enhancement!'
'Death World!'
'Shadow Steps!'
'Death Style, Third Form, Three Claws of the Dragon!'
As soon as his body appeared inside the Temporal Connection Gap, three Scythes came crashing down against his body. "What?!"
Hastian felt like he saw things. One had to be completely crazy to initiate a battle inside the Temporal Gap. Any mistake and the Temporal Connection Spatial Currents could throw you out of the route, which would mean certain death for anyone below the Archangel Level.
Of course, that didn't mean he was just going to sit there and let Roan's attack hit him. Heavenly Energy and Light Element burst out of his body, trying to create a protective screen around him. At the same time, Hastian spread his Domain, trying to force Roan's Domain back and give him time to run out of the Gap. He didn't intend to fight there. As long as he went back and warned Lisfiel, they could deal with Roan as they wished.
*Bzzzzzz...*ραпdαs `n?ν?| сom
Unfortunately, as soon as his Domain touched Roan's, it began to corrode. There wasn't a single inch of Roan's Domain being fought back. Instead, Roan's Death World Domain completely mixed with Hastian's own Domain and started to destroy it from within. "How's that possible?!"
Without another choice, Hastian flapped his Four Pairs of wings, trying to run away from the attack.
*swish, swish, swish...*
*Arrrrgghhhh!*
Too bad Roan was already expecting that. First of all, Roan had the Element of surprise and knew exactly where the Angel was going to appear. How could he not be ready for anything? The only thing that could possibly give him trouble was a Space-Time Angel or higher. And even they would die if they didn't act fast enough.
Roan's Three Scythes hit Hastian's wings, easily breaking through the protective screen. Dark Element then rampaged inside Hasntian's body, going through the injuries left in the wings. The Angel Wings weren't just for show. They were deeply integrated into the Angel's powers. Usually, what Hastian did by using his wings to defend and run away would be the right choice. The wings were one of the easiest parts to control the flow of Light Element for the Angels, which made all of them rely on their wings.
That was the wrong choice against Roan, though. With the purest Dark Element in the Universe, the Light Element being released by the wings only acted as a fuel, causing Hastian even more injuries.
Hastian tried as he could to flee, knowing that he wasn't a match for the new enemy. Above all, the presence of Dark Element proved that there were Devils coming through the Temporal Connection Gap. Well, Roan wasn't a Devil, but he wouldn't tell Hastian that.
It took a long while to explain, but the events only lasted a few seconds. Roan's Dark Element caused even more chaos as he also continued his attacks. Eventually, the Dark Element reached Hastian's soul, causing extreme pain. Hastian quickly lost consciousness, almost falling out of the Spatial Currents of the Temporal Gap.
"Not so fast. I need you." Roan didn't let that happen. He grabbed Hastian's Body and pulled him into the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm. "Good job, Luan."
From inside the Dimensional Realm, Luan observed everything outside with his Sacred Eyes. It was thanks to him that Roan could fight in the Temporal Gap without being afraid of falling into the Spatial Currents. Above all, that also prevented Roan from being pulled back to the Underworld. "That's the least I can do, father."
Roan faintly smiled, feeling a little proud of his disciple. "Alright, time to change."
Roan immediately focused his mind on the Angel's body, and with Luan's help, Roan changed his body to become identical to Hastian. Even the Light ELement being released was the same after Luan pointed out any difference.
Roan then waited for another 20 minutes there, giving the impression that Hastian had gone to the other side and then made his way back. Finally, he stepped out of the Temporal Connection Gap.
