Ethereal Ascendance: A Journey of Transformation

"Feliciana, hold it back! I'll use Red Lotus!"

Seeing that the biggest threat was gone, Brennan and the others were excited and shouted, changing to an offensive stance. Since the enemy's attack power had greatly decreased, they didn't need to dodge as much anymore.

"Beast Taming Art: Light Dragon!"

"Fire Claws!"

"Lightning Serpent!"

He unleashed almost all of his moves on the enemy.

"Nine Heavens Arrow Rain!"

"Chaotic Twin Arrows!"

Adrian followed closely behind, recklessly shooting out white arrows.

But just because Minos lost his weapon didn't mean he lost his defence too. His thick skin and flesh were still difficult to deal with. With so many moves hitting him, they could only leave some scratches, drawing a bit of blood at most. My normal attacks also seemed very obvious, almost every punch and kick made Minos' body shake and scream loudly. But bare fists couldn't cause much real damage, and he would dodge too. Also, after so many hits, I felt like my fists and legs were going to break from the pain.

This wasn't working! With just bare fists, the damage Minos could do to us was much greater. Even without his axe, two or three of his punches in a row would be too much for anyone. We were only able to keep fighting because of our greater numbers. It felt like we were just wasting time, and it would come down to who had more endurance to last until the end.

"Can someone give me a weapon?"

The two guys looked at each other, Brennan was unarmed, and I couldn't use Adrian's bow. Vivianne's gun had already broken, and Selene's magic staff was useless. I even thought of the huge axe that had flown far away - but it was too big, even if I could lift it I couldn't wield it!

So I really couldn't find a usable weapon here?

"You want a weapon?"

Suddenly, an extremely sweet and charming female voice sounded from beside me. I turned my head towards the sound, and saw a tall, beautiful angel floating in the air not far behind me, with long grayish-white hair trailing behind her head.

She wore a full body armor, wrapped in some soft yet metallic looking material on the upper body, but it seemed to be an open back design to avoid hindering the wings, fully revealing her ample bosom. The lower part went just past her knees, with a stiff ruffled outer layer, looking both beautiful and practical.

Another angel! And a four-winged one at that, because she had two pairs of wings fluttering behind her back, slowly approaching me. I didn't notice her coming over at all.

My companions on the ground were puzzled too, but they could only attack Minos and had no time to care about this.

When she got closer to a certain distance, I finally saw her looks clearly. She was really beautiful, with an oval face, slender eyebrows over a pair of bright golden eyes, plus alluring red lips, giving off a mature, sexy aura.

"Who are you?"

I asked in confusion. She said she'd give me a weapon, but her hands were empty, not looking like she had any weapons at all.

"If you want a weapon, I can lend you one."

As she spoke, she raised her right hand to her chest, palm half curled and facing up.

Then the next moment, countless rays of light like lightning shot out from her palm, and her palm seemed to turn into a puddle of liquid, with a slender blade slowly rising from it, bringing up ripples of strange undulations.

"What is this?"

I had never seen anything like this before, and recoiled in shock, flying backwards to get away. To be honest, I was a bit frightened by this sudden action.

"Of course it's to lend you a weapon!"

The four-winged angel smiled and grabbed the long sword that had fully emerged in her hand, then threw it over to me.

I caught it and looked at it, feeling the sword was almost completely weightless, light as a feather.

The entire sword body was a translucent grayish-white, with many delicate patterns carved on the blade, intertwining and spiralling all the way to the tip. The hilt was even more complex, looking overall like an angel, with six pairs of wings fanning out on both sides to form a handguard.

This was simply an exquisitely beautiful work of art! And she told me to use it to hack at monsters?

I looked at the angel still floating in front of me in puzzlement, but she just kept smiling and reminding me.

"Hurry, your companions can't wait much longer."

I realized it and quickly rushed at Minos on the ground, slashing down with the translucent sword.

Although I didn't know how to use a sword at all, just hacking and slashing I could do. The slender sword flickered with thousands of flashes of lightning as I swung it, but I didn't feel any resistance at all, as if he had completely dodged it.

Huh, did I miss?

"Argh~~!" Minos let out a miserable shriek, and I saw that his entire arm was gone, sliced off, the severed limb flying far away.

"This is..."

Too incredible! With just one strike, the monster we had struggled against so long lost an arm, and losing an arm wasn't necessarily fatal for a minotaur, he lashed out at me with his other arm in madness. Seeing this, I immediately raised my sword to block...

And then saw another severed arm flying away...

This... was just unfair, right? My cheats finally got approved? Oh no, I'm using someone else's cheats.

I was completely dumbfounded, watching Minos losing both arms and spurting blood, soon losing his balance with agonized wails and falling to the ground.

"Feliciana, your weapon..."

Everyone on the scene was stunned. Brennan and Adrian ran over quickly after I landed on the ground and asked.

"Finish him quickly, give him the final blow."

As a seasoned adventurer, although rarely seeing such a scene, Adrian still made the right call to remind me.

I looked at Minos again. The armless minotaur was painfully rolling on the ground, constantly making very miserable moans. Actually, I didn't feel bad chopping him up earlier, but seeing his current miserable state made me suddenly feel like when I was scolded by my parents, I couldn't help but tremble all over, unable to do it.

"No... I can't do it..."

"Why don't I help you then."

The four-winged angel descended from the sky and walked over to my side, taking the translucent sword from my hand.

I saw her throw the sword in her hand at Minos like a dart, white light shooting out, piercing through the minotaur's head in an instant and thoroughly ending its life.

"This is..."

Although it was the expected outcome, I was still a bit awed by her cool move. Then we were all surprised to see the grayish-white translucent sword float up into the air by itself, slowly tracing a white trail as it automatically returned to its owner's hand.

"Amazing."

I couldn't help but murmur in admiration to the angel beside me, but then saw the sword suddenly shatter into countless crystals, dissipating into the air like dust.

"You flatter me, this was just a weapon I condensed using my abilities, it didn't actually exist, so I can make it disappear when I don't need it anymore." She explained to me.

Such a powerful angel! Were all real angels like her? Compared to her, I felt like just a newbie, though I really was one.

"You said that was a magic weapon you condensed? But I clearly sensed it had the aura of an artifact, a wind elemental artifact." Selene said in surprise, supporting Vivianne as they slowly walked over.

Vivianne beside her had regained consciousness, her injuries mostly healed, just looking very listless and low in spirit.

"I didn't lie, it was made by me." The four-winged angel shrugged, giving me an inexplicable feeling of familiarity for some reason. "If you don't believe me I can make another one right now, though I'm not sure if it's using what you called wind elemental power."

"Err, thanks but no need."

I quickly declined the offer in thanks.

"Thank you so much. Without your help, we wouldn't have known how long we'd have to keep fighting."

"Oh please, I just happened to hear the sounds of your battle here so came to take a look. Actually there were many more such monsters around here before, I've killed quite a few already." The angel in front of me said very casually about her experiences. "In fact, this minotaur wasn't that strong compared to them."

"What? There were many more minotaurs like this?"

We all had a change of expression at her words.

"Well, not necessarily anymore, there were also some lions with scorpion tails that could fly, and super huge lizards and such..." The four-winged angel thought for a bit and added. "The minotaur wasn't that tough, far weaker than those lions."

"Those are all high-level magical beasts..." Vivianne's already pale face turned even more white.

Everyone present was greatly shocked. But considering her fighting prowess just now and that incredibly powerful weapon, it was quite understandable. After all, she was a four-winged angel, her strength was on a completely different level.

"Um, actually you guys and this little angel sister are quite amazing too, it's just that unlike me you don't have the Condensation Sword so it was harder to fight." Perhaps noticing the depressed atmosphere, she hurried to reassure us.

So she called that weapon the Condensation Sword.
