[Quest Line: Journey of the Wings (3).
Background: God had never given wings to angels since their birth. Each angel always had to complete several tasks for God before he could receive his own pair of wings and finally be considered as a real angel. Like the other angels, Lucifer also had to go through chores to get his own wings.
The user is on the threshold to get the first definitive pair of wings. A great milestone for every angel. But in addition to the glory that the wings grant, responsibilities also come. To fulfill these responsibilities, the user needs knowledge, so complete your task to receive the glory and part of the truth about the world.
Mission 01: Totems from other deities were scattered throughout the universe. One of these totems is being detected nearby. The user must destroy this totem and absorb the divinity contained within the totem. The absorbed deity will be used to develop the user's Lucifer Wings.
Mission 02: The essence released by this totem will attract countless monsters, stay within 10 meters of the totem for 15 minutes so that the system can absorb the essence released by the totem. This essence will unlock a chapter fragment from Lucifer's Diary containing truths unknown to mankind.
Totems destroyed: 1/1]
'Finally ……' Noah sighed. He never imagined that 15 minutes of fighting would be so tiring until he had to spend 15 minutes killing Rank C monsters over and over. If he were too slow to kill a monster, other monsters would arrive and he would have to fight an even greater number of enemies.
Fortunately, in those 15 minutes of the mission, Noah had killed 38 monsters, which, added to the two wolves he had killed, earned him a total of 4 Strength points. This was a force equivalent to going up 4 levels, or even absorbing 40 essences.
For a common blessed Rank C, absorbing 40 essences could take anywhere from 2 to 6 years…… and Noah did it in a single day.
'Marcel told me that normally Blessed Rank C who want to reach Rank B only raise 2 stats to the maximum before moving up in Rank, but with this leveling speed I will probably be able to move up to Rank B with all the stats max…… How crazy will that be?' Noah thought excitedly.
[Congratulations user, for completing the mission. A chapter from Lucifer's diary has been added to your Library. You can read at any time.]
Noah was curious to read the diary, but he didn't do it immediately. He didn't know how big this chapter was, and he needed to get back to the invasion team soon.
But there was another reward that he could test now, which was something he had dreamed of for a long time. As he had tested it before and found that the wings didn't care if there was a suit or armor on top of them or not, but just went through it, Noah made them appear again.
Looking at the current size of his black wings, Noah was thrilled. While before the wings were so small that he could only use them to glide down, now he could finally fly.
The wings had a wingspan of 3 meters, which was probably not as far as it could go, but he hoped they could really help him fly.
With a single thought, Noah ordered his wings to flap downward, just as if he were ordering his arm to go down, and with a single flap of wings, his feet lifted from the ground and he was thrown 50 centimeters in the air.
Before he could start to fall back, Noah flapped his wings once more and now he was more than a meter away from the ground. Strangely, unlike what he imagined, it would be very complicated to move through the air using his wings. Just as a human knew how to flap his arms in the water so as not to sink immediately, Noah was also able to float in the air so as not to fall, while to move in the directions it was a little more work.
But the imps were still digging up and eating the monsters' essences, which gave Noah enough time to familiarize himself with the wings and already be able to move in the directions he wanted. No risky maneuvers, but at least he knew how to move in a straight line from point A to point B.
His imps had just eaten the essences and apparently became more resilient and stronger than Noah imagined. At this point he even assumed that the essences were stronger in the imps than in him, which when he saw an imp using his claws to cut a large X in the stone tree without the? [Fire Claws] and leave a large tear, proved this point immediately.
"Maybe it won't be that long before my imps have the strength of a Rank C monster…… Maybe I can have Rank A imps? Hehe," He spoke to himself while ordering the imps to go back to hell.
With a smile on his face, Noah flew toward the direction the group was in, not bothering to hide his wings.
At this point, Noah was no longer so concerned with hiding his strength, since he was in a powerful family. On the contrary, what Noah realized he needed to do was show his strength so that the family would feel even more the importance that he would have in the family, and would value him even more, allocating to him more and more resources——
'Where is that boy? It's been over 20 minutes since he disappeared; did he really die?' the captain wondered. He was worried about Noah. If that boy grew up and developed his Blessing even more, the boy acquiring the strength of a Blessed Rank B was a fact, and maybe there was even the possibility that the Khan Family would have a Blessed Rank A again, going back to the top of the capital's families.
When he was about to order a Blessed scout to look for Noah, he saw a strange black bird flying towards the group. What made it even stranger was that this bird was on fire. In a Fortress that was all made of stone, seeing something black and fiery in that way was extremely disjointed.
But when he saw that it was not really a bird, the captain was even more alarmed. The boy was already important just because he was a young Blessed Rank C, then even more important because he was a Blessed Rank C with a Space Blessing, but now he had surprised him and the group once again for apparently being a Blessed One who could also fly!
This was an incredible thing. Blessed with Space Blessings and Blessed with Flying Blessings were rated with the same degree of importance, as the two were both as rare as finding a needle in a haystack, being powerful enough to fight against a higher-ranking Blessed One or monsters. But now, in front of him was a strange young man who was not only a Blessed with a spacial Blessing, but a flight one as well.
'Boy, you keep surprising me every moment. It is as if I were peeling an onion: with each layer I discover that there is still one more layer underneath to surprise me,' the captain thought excitedly——
