244 The Sages power II (1/2)
Not to mention that the energy in the Sage's attack had contaminated his body at a cellular level, which caused horrible mutations.
He consumed all the healing drugs that were at his disposal and then took the arduous journey through the elemental chaos, passed the Crystal Wall, and finally returned to the Beta Heavenly World.
The Angelic Paragon flew as fast as he could. He was afraid that his absence would put the Heavenly race in danger.
And he was right. The moment he was able to contact Oliver, he understood how grave the situation was.
Somehow the Magi invader force realized he was not in the world and they took that opportunity to extend their domain over the continent. They built two magic towers in the time he was away.
The Heavenly race did not stand by as this happened and they fought with everything they had against the Magi. Without the Everlasting Snake Runic Set, the weight of the battle fell on the Rank 4 life forms.
The Sage's touch had harmed Oliver, so he was not able to participate in that battle. Without two dukes, the power of the Heavenly race decreased immensely.
The Angelic Paragon with wings of crystal was strong but under the cover of the Second Layer, her power diminished by fifty percent. She needed the help of another two Rank 4 life forms only to equal Heinz.
Despite their numerical advantage, they suffered a crushing defeat. Seven Angels of Supremacy lost their bodies and another two had their souls shattered. There was even an Angelic Paragon who had also fallen in that fight.
Those responsible for the casualties were Zitra, Totto, and Nero. It was the seven winged Fallen, the one who managed to kill an Angelic Paragon, even when he battled seven Rank 4 life forms at the same time.
The Magi invader force did not wait even a month after that battle before attacking again.
The outcome was worse for the Heavenly race since even though Oliver was able to join, they still had not healed from the wounds they suffered in the last fight and the Angels of Supremacy had not reconstructed their bodies.
Two Rank 4 Angelic Paragon and four Angels of Supremacy died and a great number had their bodies destroyed.
Tomas' heart was filled with remorse when he heard that news. If he had not told Oliver to contact the Sage, then everything would have been different.
Even though he had returned to the world, his wounds were far from being healed, so he could not fight.
The Angelic Paragon with wings of crystal understood that continuing to fight with the Magi invader force would only increase the number of casualties so she chose to evacuate their people and retreat to the periphery of the continent.
Unfortunately, many were not able to escape from the Magi. Those who were caught suffered a terrible fate. Their organs were harvested and then they were impaled.
The Magi invader force continued its expansion on the Fornes continent and they spilled so much blood that the earth turned red.
Every day was a living nightmare for Tomas and the regret he felt was so much that more than once he thought of suicide, but everything changed one glorious day.
The moment the Magi were about to gain complete control over the continent a miracle happened.
The Archangel was born!.
When Tomas saw her, he fell to his knees and started to cry uncontrollably while he shouted his sins. There was so much pain on his heart due to the damage he had brought to his people that he could not restrain his emotions.
The Angelic Paragon knew he displayed a shameful scene but the Archangel did not get angry at him. She picked Tomas up and lent him her shoulder to cry and comforted him until all his pain was gone.
The morale of the Heavenly race rose under the Archangel's radiance and everyone felt that as long as they followed her, everything would be alright.
She led the army against the Magi and showed everyone why they were recognized as the absolute weapons of the Heavenly race.
