Chapter 1691 Hell Gate Defense V
Charon materialized like an ominous death god as his gigantic figure is seen. He then materialized three angels from his robe as if he hid them inside. Charon seemed to have gotten some perks from his master as he could create small pocket dimensions to store living beings.
The three angels that were captured are actually one player and two NPCs. Adrian is actually quite shocked that a player managed to rise that fast in the ranking of angels but that also means that she might be a noteworthy player. She was not White though as she seems to have betrayed the angels under the Goddess of Light to make sure that she does not fight against Hou Yiwei.
"Release us, heathen!" The two NPC angels shouted but Adrian did not hear what they said.
"So… tell me, who are the ones that are following your commands from the people here?" Adrian asked in a manner where all of the guild masters heard what he said.
"Do you think that we would speak to a dirty being such as yourself?! You are merely a demon that has bee… AGH!" The angel stated as he suddenly shouted in great pain.
Charon coiled his chains upon one of the angel's wings and tore it without batting an eye or a command from his master. Charon has developed greater emotions when it evolved and one of it is the unending loyalty to its master that saved it from that place. He also liked the energy that his master gives as he finds it the most delicious things compared to the life force of others.
The scene where the angel's wing being pulled was witnessed by the others. The angel player and the NPC angel looked at Adrian with fear and anger. They knew that an angel's wings were something that they deem as the most beautiful thing about them as that is something that their creator praises them for.
"Let me ask you again. Who are the ones working for you?" Adrian asked.
"Do you really think that we will tell you?! We are not afraid of having this body getting killed!" The NPC angel stated as if he was proud.
"I guess it has yet to sink in for you then." Adrian stated as he suddenly changed to his Netheros Form since he was in his Aetheros Form earlier to heal up.
"I am the Champion of the Twin Gods. The Gods that handle the cycle of life and death. You look at death as a mere lowly aspect when you are in front of me? I guess I should show you what happens when living beings no longer fear death!" Adrian stated as he looked at Charon.
Charon then pulled on the last remaining wing on the angel that he pulled one from earlier. The angel suddenly screamed out loud in great agony as his last wing was torn away from his body. The pitiful angel suddenly started crying as he was no longer beautiful in the eyes of the goddess.
"Just regrow them again!" The angel that still had his wings intact stated but he did not know the pain of that angel.
"I tried but they cannot!" The wingless angel stated as he cried for his immense loss.
"I thought that all you "great" beings can detect it, but I made sure that his wings will not grow back. At least, not with that body." Adrian stated as nether flames could be seen burning the back of the wingless angel.
Adrian used nether energy to make sure to permanently destroy the wings of angels as a test before and he did not think it would succeed. Nether energy feeds on strong sources of mana and it seems that the wings of angels are that. Adrian sucked all the mana that the wings of that angel can create so that it will not regenerate.
The wings might be able to regenerate but that wingless angel must get powerful magic to cleanse the effects of the nether energy. The nether energy that was applied to the back of the wingless angel burned out and a large burn scar could be seen. The wingless angel did not feel pain from that burn, but he did feel that his back cannot excrete mana.
"You monster! You demon!" The NPC angel with intact wings shouted.
"I am a demon." Adrian stated as told Charon to kill the wingless angel without mercy.
The wingless angel exploded in a powerful light and Adrian caught its soul. The NPC angel saw Adrian catching the angel's soul and shuddered because he was confident that their souls would be able to reach the Silver City even in their physical death. Adrian casually created a door to the afterlife and tossed the angel's soul there.
"You! You are the reason why some of our comrades were not able to revive! We thought it was the works of a devil, but it was a demon instead!" The NPC angel shouted.
"If you do not want to die like him then spill on the ones that are under you from the people here." Adrian stated as he knows the angels are keeping track of those that are ants to them.
Adrian knew that the angels are an untrustworthy bunch especially to those that are not their kind. They will not be able to fully trust humans to carry out their will without a method to detect them. Adrian knew that the angels must have given something to these traitorous guild masters so that they can discern them from the others.
"I would rather die!" The NPC Angel stated as he started glowing in a bright light as he actually started to make all the light element in his body start to explode.
"Pathetic." Adrian stated as Charon just covered the exploding angel in a ball of chains.
A powerful burst of light could be seen escaping the ball of chains as the angel made itself explode. The explosion was actually very powerful as a multitude of the layers of chains were disintegrated. Adrian raised his brow as the angel actually destroyed its own soul as well which made Adrian unable to retrieve its soul.
"What about you? What can you offer?" Adrian asked as he looked at the female angel player.

The female angel player and other angel players accepted the quest of bombarding the base of the defenders of the Hell Gate. This quest was given by none other than Jophiel which means that they can get the angelic leader's attention if they are skillful. It is also a test on how they can skillfully use their light elemental abilities.
They managed to infiltrate and destroy some parts of the defense base as expected. They did not deal great damage, but it was enough damage to disorient the enemy. They thought that they were going to do more damage when a powerful undead suddenly appeared before them.
There were people that were able to escape because they used their life-saving skill. She was unable to cast it quick enough and was caught along with the angel NPCs that accompanied them. In the end, two of her comrades escaped while she was captured.
The undead that captured them was also incredibly powerful but she was thankful that they were only captured and not killed. What scared her though was the undead suddenly becoming incredibly filled with killing intent as it stared at a tent in the middle of the enemy base. She thought that she would be killed but she was only stored inside of a dark place.

"What should I do? I do not know anything of what he is talking about?! I only took this quest because I thought it was easy, but I was captured along with the other angels. The others that accepted the quest also left me here when I was suddenly." The female angel player thought to herself.
"Time is ticking. If you are not going to say anything then it is better off that you die. After all, a good enemy is a dead enemy. I learned that from my spartan training mother after all." Adrian stated as he smiled.
"Wait! I can tell you that the angels are coming!" The female angel player stated.
"Really?!" Adrian acted like he was shocked.
"Yah! They are going to arrive an hour from now." The female angel player stated as she was suddenly crushed to death by the chains that Charon created.
"I already know that though so that information is already not valuable to me." Adrian stated coldly as he made a bold statement.
"If I ever find any one of you trying to pull this kind of thing to me again then best be sure that I shall hunt you down and kill you a dozen of times until I am satisfied." Adrian stated as Charon vanished, and he appeared back to their save zone.
The people trembled as they finally saw how ruthless the one with the moniker of Demon could be.
