Chapter 224 The Lord of Darkness Appears
"Angel race! When exactly did you begin preparing for all this?!" the lich roared angrily.
In fact, even during the earlier verbal battle with the other party, Ye Chuxue had already secretly sent a message to the twelve-winged angels in the angel territory, ordering them to quickly gather their forces and be ready to engage in battle at any time.
The lich looked at the army of angels before him and said, "Hmph, so what if you're prepared? Do you really think you can withstand our attack?"
As he spoke, he turned his gaze to the twelve-winged angel, whose longsword was gleaming and pointed directly at him.
The twelve-winged angel sneered and said sharply, "Lich, don't be so arrogant! Today is the day you all die!"
Before she finished speaking, the light screen behind her suddenly shone brightly, and then countless angels with pure white wings and holding various weapons surged out from it like a tide.
In the blink of an eye, the entire sky seemed to be divided in two, one side was dazzling light, and the other side was a heart-stopping scarlet color.
The moment the two sides made contact, a thrilling life-or-death battle ensued.
After being empowered by dark forces, the fallen angels' originally pure light has been corrupted. However, even so, their strength remains formidable and cannot be underestimated.
The Shadow Dragon's enormous body exuded an immense sense of oppression. It opened its blood-red maw and spewed forth billowing black flames, turning everything in its path into scorched earth.
However, the angels were clearly not intimidated by the enemy's momentum.
A six-winged angel took the lead, leading several four-winged angels and many two-winged angels in a fierce attack on the shadow dragon.
In an instant, swords flashed and magic intertwined as the two sides were engulfed in a fierce melee.
As time went on, the situation gradually became clearer.
Despite the lich's best efforts to resist, they were ultimately unable to withstand the relentless onslaught of the angelic legions and could only fight and retreat, showing a trend of continuous defeat.
Just then, an even more intense dark power, like a surging tide, poured out continuously from the gate that the lich had struggled to open.
This dark power seemed to carry endless pressure and chill, causing the surrounding air to freeze.
"Oh? I didn't expect the angels to go to such lengths, even sending the Second and Fifth Legions. What, do you angels intend to use all your strength to annihilate us in one fell swoop?"
As a deep and intimidating voice rang out, a mysterious figure gradually emerged from the power of darkness.
The figure was completely shrouded in a thick layer of black mist from head to toe. Even the brightest light could not penetrate the mist to see its true form.
"It's the Lord of Darkness!" Upon seeing this, the twelve-winged angel was shocked and stared intently at the fearsome being before him.
Although she herself possesses powerful abilities derived from the God of Origin, she is still far inferior to the Lord of Darkness.
After all, the power she possessed was bestowed upon her by the Chaos Angels, and it was not entirely her own power to wield and control at will.
"Hmph! You dare to confront us so openly this time? Have you forgotten how pathetic you looked when you suffered a crushing defeat?" The Lord of Darkness let out a cold snort, his words revealing his disdain and mockery of the angel race.
The angels, who have always regarded everything as precious, were only interfered with by the God of Darkness in their training mission because he wanted to extract energy and various negative emotions from them.
The twelve-winged angel knew that she could not contend with the incomparably powerful Lord of Darkness on her own. Although she had stepped forward and tried her best to stop him countless times, the chances of winning this battle were still very slim if she could not gather all the twelve-winged angels here.
But this time the situation is completely different from the past.
"Previously, you were only able to act so recklessly and domineeringly because of our lack of manpower and difficulties in deployment. But today, the situation has completely changed!"
Having already made sure everyone was settled, Ye Chuxue was now intently watching the arrival of the Lord of Darkness.
Many angels were inadvertently stained with the thick, inky black mist, and no matter how they used their purification techniques, they could not completely dispel the evil mist.
"So this is how fallen angels are created... In that case, it's not entirely hopeless." Ye Chuxue stared at the scene before her and murmured to herself.
Seeing the Lord of Darkness make a ruthless move, Ye Chuxue naturally wouldn't choose to sit idly by and wait for her death.
With a deafening roar, a colossal figure, as majestic as a mountain, suddenly appeared in mid-air.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Ye Chuxue herself, and behind her, six pairs of wings shimmering with dazzling light fluttered gently.
Those angels who were unfortunately entangled and bound by the power of darkness felt the heavy pressure on their bodies instantly lighten—the power of darkness that had been surrounding them and clinging to them was absorbed by the huge figure with overwhelming force, like rivers flowing into the sea, and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.
"It seems that during this difficult trial of the chosen ones, there was more than one god who quietly infiltrated the process."
Ye Chuxue's lips curled up slightly, revealing a calm and composed smile, before her figure slowly rose into the air.
At the same time, Song Wanning followed closely behind and gracefully flew to Ye Chuxue's side.
"How do you have twelve wings? Are you a newly appointed twelve-winged angel?"
The Lord of Darkness looked at Ye Chuxue before him and felt a bad premonition rise in his heart.
A scream rang out, and the Lord of Darkness looked in the direction of the sound. He saw a fallen angel emanating a thick black mist, and the direction of the black mist was exactly where Ye Chuxue was.
"You were able to absorb my dark power, who exactly are you?" The Lord of Darkness looked at Ye Chuxue, somewhat terrified.
"I couldn't absorb it. Watch closely, I can also master this power."
As a burst of crimson aura emanated from Ye Chuxue, it spread out in concentric circles like waves.
The angels behind Ye Chuxue began to change; their holy power vanished, replaced by a strange, dark power. Their eyes gradually darkened, and their wings deepened in color, like dark clouds after nightfall.
The Lord of Darkness stared wide-eyed, saying incredulously, "What method did you use to wield the power of darkness?"
Ye Chuxue smiled calmly: "This is nothing special, just to show you that angels can also control the power of darkness."
