Chapter 270: The First Angel



Chapter 270: The First Angel

chapter 270: the first angel

at level 8, the new species i unlocked were angels.

(somehow, angel feels different from my other summons....is there another law that comes into play for summons from a-rank?)

i decided to continue to analyze my discomfort.

the a-rank angel stared back at me while i was thinking about something.

"well, who is this?"

"hmm? greta. what's wrong?"

"helmios. could this man be?"

apart from my analysis, one of helmios' party members, a saint named greta, seemed to notice something.

he turned pale and took a big breath to calm himself.

clank

greta dropped his wand and began to tremble while staring at a-rank angel.

the spirit god on sophie's shoulder descended to the ground and bowed deeply to the a-rank angel.

"bow your head, too, sofiarone. i wonder what this means? haha!"

"yes."

in line with the spirit god, sophie also sat down and bowed deeply to the a-rank angel.

the spirit god's laugh was awkward and very dry, unlike his usual laugh.

with the spirit god and princess of rosenheim bowing their heads with their hands on the ground, everyone but me realized that it was no small matter.

i, as i was, was looking at my grimoire and analyzing angel's stats.

[species] angel

[rank] a

[name] merus

[strength] 20000

[mana] 20000

[attack] 20000

[endurance] 20000

[agility] 20000

[intelligence] 20000

[luck] 20000

[blessing] all status +2000

[special skill] attribute enhancement, angel's ring

[awakening] judgment thunder

(his status is twice the maximum of other a-rank summons. this should solve the lack of firepower that we've been facing.)

previously, summons of the same rank had the same maximum status. nôv(el)b\\jnn

however, only the a-rank angel had twice the maximum status of other a-rank summons.

in the battle against the demon general razel, my summons, who had less firepower than kurena and my party members had no choice but to defend, disperse attacks, and recover, but that problem was about to be solved.

(the blessings are great, too. like +2000 in all stats? won't i be a monster if i have 80 summons in my holder? let's increase it a little. mm? i can't do it, you mean only one? and the other summons? i can!?)

i still had a large amount of a-rank magic stones, but i couldn't summon another angel.

there seemed to be a limit on the number of summons only for the a-rank angel.

"oh, um. mr. allen. could this gentleman be...?"

while i was staring at my grimoire, saint greta approached me fearfully with a determined look on his face and spoke to him.

"ah! huh!? merus!? his name is merus!"

then he noticed rosen kneeling behind me.

"it indeed has, first angel merus."

"as you can see. i am no longer the first angel."

he told them they didn't have to bow so deeply and stood everyone up.

"so, it was true that you were killed during the invasion of the divine realm."

rosen, on sophie's shoulder and with pity in his eyes, said to merus.

"do you know of the invasion of the divine realm?"

having said that, merus realized something.

no one was surprised when rosen said that the divine realm had been invaded.

it was a well-known fact.

"i went to the divine realm and heard from the gods and angels. i was told that the second angel, lupto, will take your place master merus."

"i see. it was you, rosen. can you tell me more about what happened after i passed away?"

"yes. in the invasion..."

the spirit god answered merus' question.

he said that freya, the fire goddess, had her divine artifact stolen and her power was weakening.

it was unclear how the demon king's army would use the divine artifact.

the divine realm had already decided to start a talent change system, and that it had already been oracled, along with the weakening of the power of the fire goddess freya.

the talent change system was said to begin in april.

"that's what happened, huh."

merus began to murmur in mid-air.

"so, why is the first angel my summon?"

"actually, i was thinking of being a summon. that's part of it."

(uha, you were the creator of my summons? did you also decide on that limbed apple summon? you have good taste.)

i thought it was a hell of a revelation.

the angel in front of me was like the creator of my summons.

then merus told us how he became a summon.

following the invasion of divine realm, merus, who was in the temple of the creator god, rushed to the scene.

he fought against great demon general kyubel and was defeated.

in the midst of realizing his own demise, he remembered one fact.

in fact, as of last march or april, my a-rank summons had not been fully set.

in his vanishing consciousness, he asked the creator god elmea to put him in a new slot for an a-rank summon.

it seemed that creater god elmea heard his wish and sealed his soul in the grimoire.

(oh? but was kyubel perhaps injured at that time? could we have defeated him if we had fought against him then? no, it was impossible in that atmosphere.)

at the end of the battle with the demon general razel, the great demon general kyubel, who suddenly appeared, might have been seriously injured from his participation in the war in the divine realm.

i thought we had a brief conversation and then he was gone.

the spirit god was also there, so he may have come just to check the situation.

"such is the case."

the spirit god seemed to be moved by the way he used his own life to fulfill his mission, going as far as to become my summon.

"thanks to you, i've escaped the shackles of the nagging master elmea! i am free!!!!"

the angel merus held up his hands and exploded with the joy of his freedom.

the last words ruined it was what allen and the others thought.
