Chapter 318 - 319: The Stunned Milos!
Chapter 318 - 319: The Stunned Milos!
After isolating the external world, Milos’s gaze slowly returned to Aster Grant, with scrutiny and contemplation in his eyes.
From Lazuli’s words earlier, he captured a key piece of information—
Laney seems to have become Aster Grant’s Beastbond too?!
As a strong figure at the summit of the world, Milos naturally knew of the existence of the Otherworld and the Human Race,
and was aware of humans’ ability to contract tamed beasts.
No wonder...
No wonder Lazuli referred to this person as "master."
Listening to the implied meaning, that Angel named Laney actually became his contracted beast too?
If that’s true...
Is the Destruction Law Laney displayed also related to this person?
Thinking of this, Milos’s pupils slightly contracted, his heart suddenly shook—
This explanation might be the closest answer to the truth!
He knows the situation of the Angel Race better than anyone else.
If such a unique existence as Laney truly exists within the race, it would be impossible to conceal it from him.
Yet she appeared seemingly from thin air, wielding the Power of Destruction to sweep the arena...
Combined with the sudden arrival of Lazuli and Aster Grant—
Milos almost immediately concluded:
These two are definitely not from this world!
In the brief moment, he had already inferred most of the truth.
Looking at Aster Grant again, he added a barely noticeable respect to his gaze.
At this moment, Aster Grant also regained his senses.
Realizing his previous actions, Aster Grant quickly released Lazuli.
Lazuli’s cheeks also flushed, her wings slightly retracting, quietly retreating half a step.
Aster Grant turned to Milos, and said apologetically:
"Order Angel, excuse me for losing control for a moment and causing you amusement."
Milos’s expression, however, was gentle.
If someone else had been so disrespectful to the successor, he would have taken action against this person.
But he had just guessed Aster Grant’s identity...
"It’s alright, the joy of reunion is understandable."
Then, his gaze swept over Laney, remembering the earlier scene where Lazuli deliberately avoided discussing the origin of Destruction Law,
though still harboring doubts in his heart, he did not ask, simply kindly reminded:
"If possible, please assist Laney in securing the top spot in this competition."
"Lady Lazuli is currently weak in strength, and if challenged by others, might lead to an unexpected outcome."
Hearing Milos’s suggestion, Aster Grant nodded.
This was his intention all along.
His gaze fell on the final opponent Laney had to face.
This Totem-level opponent is stronger than the previous Totem-level angel Laney faced, but only slightly stronger.
Relying on the Power of Laws he provided, Laney would have little problem dealing with him.
However—
The real challenge doesn’t lie with the Totem-level opponent.
Aster Grant’s gaze moved past the arena, quietly landing on Gabriel at the high platform.
Since this successor is trying to use the rules to eliminate Lazuli,
he can also do the opposite—
Use this mechanism to eliminate Gabriel!
But the problem is...
Gabriel’s strength far exceeds that of the previous Totem-level angels.
As a ten-winged successor, his talent is similar to Lazuli’s, and his level has already reached the Half-step Totem Realm.
In terms of attributes, Law Control, or combat experience, Laney finds it difficult to compete.
The only variable might lie within Aster Grant himself.
The dual talents of "Sovereign" and "Soul-devouring" he possesses, coupled with the ability of Creation Law that defies heaven......
Applying both to the extreme, might offer a slim chance of victory.
Thinking of this, Aster Grant was also quietly preparing.
Soon, in the voice of the Angel of Judgment announcing, the final battle officially began.
Under Aster Grant’s encouraging gaze, Laney took a deep breath and calmly stepped onto the arena.
Lazuli gently gripped Aster Grant’s hand, snuggling up beside him, and whispered:
"Lord Aster Grant, the inheritance of the God of Angels... doesn’t seem to enhance me significantly."
She had heard from Milos that what the God of Angels left behind was the Power of Guardian and Destruction, yet these two powers she had already mastered, the benefits from the inheritance were rather limited.
Aster Grant, of course, knew this.
But he also harbored a slight doubt.
Why does the law governed by the God of Angels resemble Lazuli’s abilities so much?
Could there be some connection between the two?
Aster Grant’s gaze scanned over Lazuli, then over the Twelve-Winged Angel sculpture at the center of the square.
Suddenly, he felt the two seemed to have similarities.
But quickly, Aster Grant shook his head, dismissing the thought from his mind.
Impossible!
The timeline between them is far apart, definitely impossible!
Then he came back to reality, thinking about the conditions Lazuli needed for enhancement, he softly said:
"Lazuli, strive to win first place this time. It will definitely benefit you."
Lazuli nodded without hesitation.
She unconditionally trusts her master,
since her master wishes her to win, she certainly won’t back down.
On the arena, Laney’s opponent had also taken the stage.
This angel’s eyes were visibly wary and serious.
He bears Gabriel’s orders.
He must eliminate this angel.
But...
He had seen the previous match clearly—
Laney is actually wielding the Power of the God of Angels!
Claiming not to be nervous is dishonest.
The only solace is Laney’s apparent lack of proficiency in law control,
This might be his only chance.
The Shadow Law he controls is adept at stealth and swift attacks, as long as he can strike first during the moment Laney activates the Power of Destruction...
Perhaps there’s a slim chance of victory.
Thinking of this, he no longer hesitated,
compressed the Shadow Law around him to the extreme, condensing it into a barely detectable point of cold light—
This strike, he spared no room.
A Totem-level angel fully attacking a Monarch Level angel, if this Monarch Level angel cannot defend—
Death would be the outcome!
This also seriously violates the competition rules.
Yet he is prepared to do so.
Solving a competitor for Lord Gabriel is more important than anything.
Even if he faces punishment from the Angel Race for this, he will not hesitate.
"The competition finals—start!"
Before the Angel of Judgment’s words fell, that Totem-level angel already surged!
The power of Totem Tier One fully erupted, his figure like a shadow tearing through the Void, shot straight towards Laney!
Below the stage, Milos’s brows furrowed tightly—
The momentum of this attack already exceeded the scope of the match, almost a death battle!
Seeing the attack pressing towards Laney, with her seemingly unresponsive,
Milos’s spiritual power abruptly condensed, preparing to interfere—
But his intervention also meant... the match was lost for Laney.
Yet at this instant—
A dazzling golden barrier burst forth, holy and impregnable, firmly blocking the deadly shadow offensive outside!
"Guardian Law?!"
The entire arena erupted instantly!
Milos sharply looked at Aster Grant, astonished to find:
The immense Power of Guardian actually originated from this human’s hand!
???
A human...
Can actually wield the exclusive law of the God of Angels?!
