332 Chapter 331
Even at night, the angels were working non-stop. Leon had already thought that before, but they looked more like zombies or machines when they were working or fighting. They didn't consider things like a numerical disadvantage, and in most cases, the only option they could see was to fight.
Regardless, the magic circle had already been created. The angels engraved the circle on the earth and added some sort of paint that wouldn't let the land absorb the monsters' blood. At the moment, they were just adding blood to that paint on the ground.
"So, that is how they are preventing the blood from being absorbed..."
Leon and the harvesters were flying high on the sky because they were planning to attack the points where the angels were still working. If they wanted to succeed, they had to kill as many angels as they could before their boss shows up. The best way to do that would be to attack the places the angels were in and move on using Leon's Transfer.
"Let's go," Jorhorn said.
It was another cloudy night, so even after the harvesters became gigantic and fell toward the place where the angels were working, they didn't notice their presence. Leon imagined that the central continent would be the only place he would find some signs of civilization, in the end, he only found remains of destroyed cities buried by plants and grass... there was nothing to see. It looks like the angels and nature itself had destroyed everything the harvesters' built along the last five hundred years.
Inglar fell in the middle of the enemy like usual and created a shockwave of flames, despite that, everyone fell nearby and received some damage thanks to his attack. Unfortunately, that couldn't be helped because there was no room for mistake, and some sacrifices had to be made.
This time, Ivolaer waited for Jertien to attack, making several Ice Meteors fall, and then Genelosa froze all the ground in a five hundred meter radius. With that much ice and the fire that Inglar created, the battlefield was now full of water, and Ivolaer finally attacked. The harvesters started to float to escape that terrific combination of spells. Meanwhile, the angels got burned to a crisp.
"I guess my job is to look for loot again..."
Leon gladly did that, but unfortunately, as soon as Jorhorn destroyed a massive part of the magic circle using his earth magic, they started to fly and joined Leon. After using Transfer and reappearing above the clouds, the harvesters returned to their standard size... Leon's job was to carry their gear using Telekinesis, Gravity, and using Transfer. Again, he felt like a servant, but since he was holding Soul Eater and leveling up all of those, he decided not to complain out loud.
Congratulations! The skill Telekinesis has leveled up.
You obtained 01 status points.
Congratulations! The skill Gravity has leveled up.
You obtained 01 status points.
Congratulations! The skill Transfer has leveled up.
You obtained 01 status points.
It didn't take long before they could find another point where they found hundreds of angels working, but they couldn't just avoid a few hundred and hope that the battles would get more comfortable later.
"This is going to take forever," Ismenria said.
"Yes," Genelosa added. "Even if we use Transfer to escape, I bet that bastard will be able to chase us... if he manages to see us."
"We can speed up things if we split our group," Jorhorn said. "However, that will also mean that we will lose our advantage against their leader. We can't afford to do that, so just keep working fast and just shut up."
Leon wondered if things wouldn't get easier if Jertien just creates a massive Ice Meteor and then let it fall on the center of the continent. The angel boss was probably there, and it would be the easiest way to kill him. But that probably wouldn't be possible if he obtained that skill by the spirit of ice instead of learning alone. The same thing could be applied to Jorhorn, even though he could manipulate and create the earth, and also had Soul Steal at his disposal, he wouldn't be able to use it efficiently, since the bigger the projectile, the more mana he would have to spend to keep it under his control.
The harvesters attacked several other points, and despite the number of angels in those beings relatively small, they killed ten thousand angels in just one hour. Although Leon didn't obtain a single coin, since his job was to use Transfer in case something happens, he got a nice reward.
Congratulations! You have learned the skill: Ice Beam.
Cost: 50 mana per second
You obtained 01 status points.
"I guess this is the ice version of Flamethrower... hehe, this will be very useful."
Perhaps it would be even more useful than Thunder Ray. After all, Leon could freeze his opponents and use their spirits instead of burning them to a crisp. That way, he would be able to train several skills like Magic Craft and Magic Blacksmith, he needed to train those as much as he can because he didn't have time in the last months to improve his mithril telescope.
"To level it up faster, I will use it in combination with Thunder Ray. Although the cost of mana will be insane, that way, I will increase the power of Thunder Ray."
That was Leon's plan for the future, but it looked like he would use much sooner. Leon's job was also to observe the surroundings, and thanks to that, he saw a beam of light approaching at an unbelievable speed. The creature appeared in the middle of the battlefield, and Leon only noticed moments later... that creature definitely used the inverse of Dark Aura... it used Light Aura.
Putting that aside, Leon couldn't help but frown while looking at the boss of the angels. That one was very different from the others. His wings didn't feel out of place on his back... that one looked like a real angel...
