2 The First Battle of Angel

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

"I've finally become an angel! and a six-winged seraph!", Hubert's face was full of joy.

He had finally become an angel, and a six-winged seraph. This change was far beyond his expectations.

A six-winged angel should be stronger than an ordinary angel, right?

Even the ordinary angel from the neighboring Buffalo City could become the boss of a city. There was no reason for him to be worse off than the other angel.

Hubert closed his eyes and felt the changes in his body.

Through his perception, he knew that he was only at level 1 and he was still at.

He now had three skills: The Eye of Good and Evil, Holy Light Slash, and Holy Light Shield.

The Eye of Good and Evil was a discerning skill.

All people had a halo in Hubert's eyes. The good people and evil people were distinguished by the color of their halos.

For people with roughly balanced good and evil points, the circle of light was white, and most ordinary people belonged to this range.

If some committed crimes such as theft and robbery, but no one was injured or killed, then their halos would be yellow.

As for the murderers, or if they involved in serious crimes such as explosions or terrorist attacks, the circle of light would become red, and the more serious the crime, the deeper the red.

As for the black colored halo, it could only be achieved by the level of demon king of hell or fallen angel, and it would be difficult for ordinary people to achieve it.

If they often did good deeds, such as doing community volunteer work or distributing food to the poor, they would wear a green halo.

These people could be saved. They could become holy knights protecting the holy temple under the title of an angel and restore their human form to a certain extent.

If they often did great deeds, such as saving lives and saving the people, the halos on their bodies would be blue. They could be conferred as the Bishop of the Holy Temple and have some holy light skills.

As for the golden halo, only angels could obtain it.

Holy Light Slash was much simpler. It was to attach holy light to the weapon to increase its lethality. Or he could directly condense holy light into a weapon.

With Hubert's current strength, he could split open an inch-thick steel plate with a sword.

Holy Light Shield was made of holy light to create a shield for protection. Currently, it could only block the attacks of ordinary swords and sabers.

Of course, the two skills, Holy Light Slash and Holy Light Shield, would be strengthened as Hubert's strength increased. In the future, they could even block the attacks of missiles or nuclear weapons.

It was very easy for ordinary monsters to increase their strength. They only needed to devour other monsters.

The more they devoured, the faster their strength would increase.

It was precisely because of this reason, the social order quickly collapsed after the Cataclysm. Of course, there was no law. The entire society entered a barbaric era where the strong preyed on the weak.

However, Hubert could not use this method to advance.

He could only rely on the power of the faith if he wanted to advance.

Every time someone became his follower, his strength would become stronger.

According to Hubert's estimation, he needed at least ten followers to level up to level 2.

"It seems that I have to save some people and let them become my followers. However, where can I find these people?", Hubert pondered.

"Ah, angel!", a scream woke Hubert from his thoughts.

He followed the voice and found Father Marlin and Dave's family looking at him in shock.

Each of Dave's family had a green halo on their body, and Father Marlin had a blue halo on his body.

Obviously, the four of them were kind people who could be saved.

"You, you are an angel?", Father Marlin's voice was trembling.

Father Marlin wanted to use his hand to draw the cross, but his hand had already turned into a tree branch. He could only use a tree branch to replace his finger and clumsily draw the cross on his chest.

He was a devout believer who had dedicated his life to god, but he did not receive any response.

He had once wondered if his faith was not devout enough, which was why he had not received any response from god.

Now, a six-winged angel that only existed in myths suddenly appeared in front of him, which surprised and delighted him.

"Could it be that my sincerity has finally received a response from God and sent an angel to convey his will? ", Father Marlin thought excitedly.

Although the Dave family did not speak, the expression on their faces also proved that they were thinking about the same thing.

"As you can see, I am an angel.", Hubert said, flapping the three pairs of wings on his back a few times. The white wings flickered with golden light, unveiled his holy and solemnness.

"Holy Father, Holy Son, Holy Spirit, thank you for showing your glory. All the glory belongs to you. Praise you, Amen.", Father Marlin closed his eyes and prayed earnestly.

A ray of blue light floated out of Father Marlin's body and entered Hubert's body.

Hubert felt that his strength had increased a little.

Was this the power of faith?

Hubert closed his eyes and felt this power. This power was warm, making him feel as if he was soaking in a warm bathtub.

Hubert could not wait to find a weapon to test the extent of his strength.

At this moment, a wolf's howl broke the silence of the church.

Hubert looked in the direction of the sound. A few white snow wolves were standing not far away, staring at them with blood-red eyes and letting out low growls.

Beside their feet, there were a few broken dog tags, as well as a few pieces of meat and bones. Fresh blood dyed the hair around their mouths red.

Judging from the shape of the broken bones, they should be human bones.

"Grimm, Sauss, Mountbatten, what happened to you? How did you become like this?", Father Marlin looked at the snow wolves in disbelief.

Hubert knew the names that Father Marlin had just read. They were stray dogs adopted by the church. Hubert had even bought dog food for them.

However, because of the Cataclysm, these pets had all reverted back to their ancestor form and turned into man-eating beasts.

The circle of red light on their bodies proved their camp.

"What... What should we do?", the mechanic Dave asked in a panic.

"Roar!", at this moment, a huge snow wolf suddenly roared and rushed towards Dave.

"You dare to hurt people. Holy Light Sword, slash it!", accompanied by Hubert's voice, a pure white longsword made of holy light appeared in Hubert's hand.

Hubert waved his hand, and the longsword in his hand slashed across the snow wolf's throat.

Pu --

Fresh red blood sprayed out and dyed the carpet red. The snow wolf's corpse fell to the ground.

The other two snow wolves saw the fresh blood, and the raging blood in their bones was stimulated. Their eyes were filled with ferocity. The two snow wolves rushed towards Hubert together, one on the left and one on the right.

"Since you want to die, then I'll fulfill your wish!", seeing the actions of the two snow wolves, Hubert shook his head.

He had five years of battle experience. Not to mention the two snow wolves, he could even kill ten snow wolves without trying.

Hubert waved his left hand, and a shield formed by holy light appeared in front of Hubert.

Hubert used the shield in his left hand to block the attack of one snow wolf. While the other snow wolf was jumping, he lift up the sword in his right hand and directly cut open the abdomen of the snow wolf.

The snow wolf screamed and fell to the ground. It lay on the ground and wailed.

However, its voice was getting weaker and weaker. Obviously, it could not hold on for long.

The other snow wolf was struggled with Hubert's shield. However, no matter how it turned its body, it could not break through Hubert's shield.

The death of its other companion made it feel fear. It felt the threat of death and wanted to escape.

However, before it could turn around, a long sword had already pierced through its chin and the back of its head, nailing it to the wall of the church.

Whoosh!

Hubert raised his hand and let the long sword disperse into holy light and return to his body. The snow wolf's corpse fell to the ground.

"Father Marlin, as you can see, the world has changed. Everyone has become a monster. The originally docile animals have become ferocious and violent. It might be very dangerous to stay here. Why don't we move to a safer place together?", Hubert looked at Father Marlin, he hoped that Father Marlin would move to a safer place with him.

Father Marlin was a person with a blue halo on his body. He was definitely one of the people who had to be saved.

"No, I've decided to stay here.", Father Marlin shook his head, and the branches on his head rattled.

"Father Marlin, don't you understand what I'm saying? This place is very dangerous. There might be monsters attacking this place. It's too dangerous here. Let's move to a safer place,", Hubert said anxiously.

Hubert was very anxious. After wandering around this city for five years, he knew that this neighborhood was controlled by two gangs. In order to fight for territory, there had been a few scuffles, St. Raphael's Cathedral was even burnt to the ground in a big melee.

From experience, this was not a safe place.

"No, it's precisely because this place is dangerous that I have to stay here. Only by staying here can I help more people.", Father Marlin said sincerely.

Father Marlin's words shocked Hubert. From a certain point of view, Father Marlin was a truly benevolent angel.

"Alright, since you're willing to stay here, then I'll stay here as well. I'll make this church a safe zone for the nearby streets, so that all those worthy of redemption will be protected.", Hubert said seriously.

"Really? Then I'm really grateful.", Father Marlin wanted to extend his hand to thank Hubert, but he could only stretch out the branch. The somewhat embarrassed Father Marlin put the branch back and looked at Hubert with some restraint.

"How about this? If it's a shelter, I'll go find some strong people first. We can't defend such a large shelter with just the few of us. I'll go find some helpers.", Hubert said as he folded his wings, he covered it with his coat and walked out of the church.

Hubert was so anxious because he remembered something.

It was that in a nearby orphanage, a group of children had eaten pea soup for dinner and turned into pea people.

If they were allowed to grow up smoothly, they would become top-notch pea-shooters and shoot peas that were as powerful as cannonballs.

It was more than enough to defend a church.

Unfortunately, the chef of the orphanage was a brutal chef named Oink.

Oink became a brutal pig-headed man in the Cataclysm.

He took a bloody butcher knife and killed all the people in the orphanage, even eating their meat.

This caused Oink to rise two levels overnight and become a level 3 powerhouse.

The level 3 Oink was undefeatable in the nearby streets and eventually became the leader of a gang.

Later in the street war, Oink was the leader of one of the forces.

If he took advantage of this opportunity to kill Oink, not only would it save him trouble in the future, but it would also increase the church's power. It was killing two birds with one stone.

Thinking of this, Hubert quickened his pace.

Along the way, the road became a little different.

There were damaged cars parked everywhere on the street. Some had their windows smashed, some were deformed, and some even emitted smoke.

However, no one came out to manage these things.

Only a pool of blood on the ground proved that there seemed to be someone here.

Hubert knew that it was only the beginning of the Cataclysm, and there were still traces of civilized society in everyone's behavior.

When the police and the national guard did not have the power to control them, the real age of darkness began.

All of this was the dessert before dinner.

Hubert walked quickly to the orphanage.

He happened to pass by the supermarket where he worked.

Just as he was about to walk over, he suddenly heard a cry for help from inside.

Someone was calling for help!

Hubert quickly walked into the supermarket.

As soon as he entered the supermarket, Hubert saw an infuriating scene.

The supervisor, Smith, who had turned into a kobold, was pressing Sophia, who had turned into an elf, onto the counter.

Sophia was a classmate of Hubert's who had gone to community college. She was also the captain of the cheerleading team. She was originally very fit. After turning into an elf, she became more and more curvy. Her long golden hair fell on the table and she was struggling from the attack of Smith.

Smith controlled Sophia's hand with one hand, and he took off his belt with the other hand.

Hubert used the eye of good and evil to check the two of them.

Smith had a shiny red ring on his body, and Sophia had a pale green ring on her body.

One was a violent sinner, and the other was a rescued person who had suffered violence. Did he have to choose who to help?

Hubert opened his hand and a light sword formed in it. he shouted at Smith, "Smith, let go of your dirty hands. Otherwise, I don't mind using the holy light to purify you, you damn kobold."

Smith was shocked when he saw Hubert. When he saw that Hubert only had a sword in his hand, his face showed disdain again.

Smith took out a Glock 18 from his back belt, opened the safety, and aimed it at Hubert.

"Hahaha, I thought it was someone else? So It's you, you piece of junk. Who do you think you are? You still want to get in my way? You think that the world has changed, and you can turn it around? I'm telling you, you're wrong. You're a dumbass, even if the world has changed, you're still just a piece of sh*t. Do you think you are more powerful than a gun even if you become a monster? No matter how fast you are, can you move faster than a bullet? Kneel down immediately, or I'll blow your head off!", Smith spouted nonsense.

"Are these your last words? What a pity.", Hubert shook his head regretfully while fiddling with the long sword in his hand.

"What do you mean?", Smith asked angrily.

He was furious that Hubert was not afraid of the gun in his hand.

"What do I mean? You'll know soon enough.", Hubert said as he suddenly turned the direction of the long sword.

A blinding light was reflected by the long sword into Smith's eyes.

"Ah!", Smith's eyes were dazzled by the strong light. He subconsciously closed his eyes and used the back of his hand to wipe his eyes.

"Chance!", Hubert's eyes lit up. He accelerated and rushed in front of Smith. The long sword in his hand directly pierced through Smith's chest.

"I, I...", Smith wanted to say something, but he couldn't say anything anymore.

"I warned you to say your last words, but you didn't listen." Hubert sighed. "The human world is not a place you should stay. The Nine Hells are your permanent home."

As Hubert spoke, he swept his long sword, and Smith's dog head fell to the ground.

After throwing Smith's body over, Hubert pulled up Sophia, who was pressed against the counter, and said politely, "Beautiful lady, you are saved."

The moment he finished speaking, Hubert felt a green smoke drifting out of Sophia's body and into Hubert's body.

He felt his energy increase again.
