Alurelle looked at her swords for several seconds in amazement… she couldn't believe that she just learned a level 215 skill just like that. Besides, with a single enchantment, her bonus in status grew by one hundred and thirty-five points.

"It looks like the effects won't be that higher since those monsters are from a planet in the third stage of assimilation…"

As much Alurelle wanted to test such skill, the effects would be meager against the angels since they had the Light Resistance skill. Noticing that Alurelle got a little stronger, and her swords now were emitting a transparent glow, the others decided to hold back their anger and frustration they suffered twenty-years ago… but it was already too late. They killed all the angels nearby that saw the harvesters falling from the skies. Despite their massive size, only a little more than thirty angels came. But at least Leon also made some progress.

Holy Mithril Shield

It grants you the skills: Light Resistance Lv 200. Endurance + 132, Mentality + 132

Now Leon just has to enchant all his four shields six times each and to the same to his eight spears… Unfortunately, he would have to do that other day. After checking that none of the angels dropped anything, everyone reunited.

"Let's go to that cave, Genelosa mentioned," Jorhorn declared. "There, we will be able to prepare everything accordingly while we increase our strength by enchanting our equipment. Lead the way, Genelosa."

"I already said that I don't know every part of this world…" Genelosa sighed.

Despite saying that, Genelosa took the lead and started to walk. The more Leon and others walked, the more destruction and corpses of monsters they found. Leon saw several bodies of chimeras, and where he found those, the signs of battles were massive… it looked like chimeras were also troublesome opponents.

"This is definitely the southern continent of my world," Genelosa said. "It is the only place I heard that chimeras started to appear… a few days before I escaped."

Leon's memories were a little blurred regarding fantasy chimeras. In his mind, a chimera would have the head of a lion, the body and legs of a goat, wings of an eagle, and the tail was supposed to be a snake. Those chimeras in that world were five meters long and two meters tall, but they didn't have the body and legs of a goat, it was the body of a lion added with wings of an eagle, the snake as a tail. It was impossible to use Appraisal on a dead body, so Leon was quite curious about their abilities.

"Hey, since the angels are exterminating other monsters," Ismenria said. "Wouldn't they make a camp nearby the dungeons that spawn chimeras? They are mad-dogs when they are fighting, but they are smart enough to understand that the easiest method to kill a large amount of them would be staying near their dungeon… We aren't heading toward that dungeon, right?"

"No, If I remember well, their dungeon should be located on the east side of this continent," Genelosa answered. "Although this is the smallest continent, we should be fine."

"If you remember well?" Ismenria frowned. "Can we even trust your rotten memory?"

"… Even if your memory is right, some dungeons may have appeared in the last twenty years," Leon sighed.

"… You are right," Genelosa nodded with a serious expression.

"We won't change our plans," Jorhorn declared. "We will go to the cave, but we will proceed with caution. Also, don't use flash attacks Inglar and Ivolaer."

"Yes, yes…" Inglar looked away.

"Tsk." Ivolaer clicked his tongue.

Leon was feeling quite out of place following a group of giants that were walking, trying not to make much noise. Still, from time to time, an angel would appear alone as if it was looking for something, and once the monster saw them, it would charge forward without even thinking about numerical disadvantage. Also, while it was understandable that they didn't try to talk, it was also weird since they were supposed to be intelligent creatures.

"Is something wrong?" Alurelle asked. "You have been frowning for a while."

"I'm just wondering why those creatures attack us like that," Leon answered. "It is a bit weird because they attack us as if we were their mortal enemies. It is also strange that they are killing other monsters… do you know why?"

"… When they first appeared, they shouted several things," Alurelle recalled the days when her world reached the third stage of assimilation. "One of them was 'we will clean this world from all sinful creatures'… Based on their actions, anyone who isn't with them is a sinful creature."

"That is a rather dangerous way of doing this…" Leon frowned.

There wasn't much difference between the self-proclaimed angels, the harvesters, and Leon. Even the people of Miebos aren't that different… in fact, just the fact that they could speak was enough to make Leon wonder if in the past if he could treat them like monsters. Right now, he couldn't… but it was hard to think the same as for the angels. Their behavior wasn't much different from beasts, after all. Besides, why would they clean the worlds they obtained access to? Twenty years have passed since Alurelle and friends left their planets, so it was evident that the angels weren't doing things the right way… most likely, they didn't come to conquer. Or perhaps, using the dungeons of those worlds, they went to other planets in order to clean them… considering their behavior, it wouldn't be weird that they did a half-assed job cleaning Dasaliv.

Regardless, after flying for half a day, Leon and the others reached the cave in question. Fortunately, they didn't find any dungeons on the way. So, Leon's worries decreased by one.
