Chapter 2557: Devouring the Angel 

Translated by XephiZ

Magic above the clouds was sparse.

However, a Forbidden Mage like Su Lu could easily obtain an abundant supply of magic by himself, even if the area within a thousand kilometers was placed inside a vacuum.

The magic originating from his body was easier to control, as well.

When a Mage achieved the Advanced Level and then the Super Level, they would slowly gain perception of sources of magic. Their bodies would also transform into sources of magic. Advanced Mages were able to use this to manipulate their magic. It was referred to as their improved control over magic.

Upon reaching the Super Level, a Mage’s body structure would start to change in order to grant them specialized abilities, like the Super Powers. They were no longer just following fixed standards.

As for a Forbidden Mage, their bodies alone were an endless fountain of energy. They could bend the rules of magic at will. Stars would no longer appear around them, nor were their Star Patterns, Star Constellations, and Star Palaces visible whenever they were Casting spells.

They could release energy stronger than Advanced Spells just by moving their fingers.

They could manipulate their spells by raising their hands and altering the spells that others were familiar with into different forms. A simple thrust could trigger an explosion, a restraining spell could crush its target with gravity. Even defensive spells could be used offensively!

Su Lu was obviously an expert at all of that. A small magic orb hovering in the air with a little purple lightning about it somehow triggered a lightning explosion covering several hundred square kilometers after it reached Sharjah. Each lightning strike was as deadly as a Forbidden Curse.

Every spell he Cast was oddly dangerous. Every sparkle in the sky could be Sharjah’s death and might suddenly pierce her soul. She had to be extremely cautious around Su Lu.

You never knew if a deadly spike would suddenly emerge from a massive explosion, or perhaps a tiny magic particle would erupt like a black hole. Perhaps the enemy had already set up a Curse trap, despite being in a defensive stance.

Su Lu was definitely one of the strongest Forbidden Mages in the world. He was not just a mere politician!

Sharjah’s power was bright, straightforward, and spectacular. Her magic was mostly in the form of divine weapons, which could slice through Hell and tear space apart.

Sharjah’s defense resembled a metallic city in the sky. It was spectacular and indestructible. Every wall, castle, and building was strictly built according to precise standards. They were so tightly packed that not even the slightest destructive Aura could penetrate the golden city.

Attack and defend!

They were the only two moves Sharjah had, but every time a golden feather she plucked from her wings transformed into a divine weapon, the whole sky would be filled by its rose-golden brilliance, exposing even the tiniest insect.

An arrow swept across the blue sky, leaving a shocking trail behind as it emitted a deafening chime. That trail was imbued with the Chaos Element.

Su Lu’s Curse Magic could be applied to objects. He used the Curse he had prepared for Sharjah on the arrow as soon as he saw it.

The arrow that could tear the sky apart slowly wilted, and its magnificent force slowly faded away. Even the sacred feather was wilting and slowly losing its sacred brilliance.

Su Lu chuckled. He flipped his hand and absorbed the wilted energy, swiftly transforming it into crimson lightning.

The crimson energy formed a magic drum above Sharjah, which Su Lu beat with his hand. Crimson lightning strikes fell from the sky with a loud rumbling.

Sharjah was knocked flying by the lightning. Thousands of lightning arcs spread from the lightning strikes and wrapped around Sharjah, trying to tear down her defenses.

The Black Dragon Emperor had also destroyed a portion of Sharjah’s golden city. Su Lu seemed to have found a weakness in her defense, and was trying to break it down.

“HAHAHA, the power of the Angels is passed on like an old tradition. It’s incomparable to the power we have acquired by climbing our way to the top with hard work and dedication!” Su Lu burst out laughing.

He had found the Archangel’s weakness.

Their defense was like a piece of carefully designed machinery. Their power came from a delicate wheel inside the machine, but it was still a machine in the end. It was nowhere close to the power of a Forbidden Mage who had gone through all kinds of hardships to reach their height.

The Archangels were born at the top of the world. They were granted the power to rule over the world.

However, did they ever see the massive world clearly? They had yet to fully understand the apex they were standing on.

Su Lu was different. He had climbed up the mountain one step at a time from the very bottom. He had been through every level and process.

He had reached the same height as the Angels!

The Angels might be standing at the top, but if the middle or the bottom of the mountain started collapsing, the whole mountain would collapse too!

The apex Su Lu stood on was part of a mountain range stacked up with different layers of mountains. It was sturdy enough to withstand all kinds of weather and hardships.

Even if the Archangel’s apex was slightly higher than Su Lu’s apex, who would stand until the very last?

Su Lu had discovered the Angels’ flaw!

Their apex was tall but delicate. It was unnecessary to compare their heights. He just had to crash his mountain into hers, and her slender mountain would collapse first.

Su Lu possessed a variety of strange abilities.

Some of them were Forbidden Spells, but as the Chairman of the Asia Magic Association, he could justify his use of Forbidden Magic. If he claimed he was not using any Forbidden Spells, who would dare to ask questions?

The abilities of the seven Archangels from the Sacred City were from the official magic index. They were too proud to use any evil arts or forbidden magic.

Meanwhile, not only was Su Lu good at using standard magic, he was also an expert at Forbidden Arts. The lightning drum that summoned thousands of lightning attacks was an example of a Forbidden Spell.. It could break down even the strongest defenses and find their weak points. It would then shatter the soul of its target with lightning from the Seven Heavens!
