Nicholas' body was rooted to the ground . He wanted to go to the palace to help, but he did not dare to . As a fallen holy priest, he was as good as dead if he encountered a heavenly angel . As a follower, he was willing to fight hard for Saleen, but if he returned, he would be giving up his life .
A battle that would guarantee his death left Nicholas hesitant .
"Su, go back! Something has happened at the palace! Wear your armor . If you don't wear it this time, you will surely die," Nicholas said to Su .
"Something happened?" Su looked at Nicholas in confusion .
"I can't go back or else I will die . Leave this place to me . If that powerful grade-9 mage appears, I can still try to battle him and stand a chance . If I go back, there is no chance of me surviving at all . An angel is there . "
Su's face sank . He knew what it meant for Nicholas to refuse to go back and provide reinforcements even though he was a follower . Saleen was in extreme danger and there was nothing that Nicholas could do .
Su silently took the armor that Joey had refined out from his leather bag . In order to solidify his foundations, he has refused to wear it because only golden grand swordmasters would be able to fully maximize the power of the armor . As a silver grand swordmaster, wearing the armor would only increase his powers, but would also be detrimental to Su's growth .
Now, Su had no choice but to wear the powerful armor . He had to hurry back and only the armor would provide him with the ability to fly over long distances .
"Su, almost all physical attacks are ineffective to angels . You must…"

"I understand . " Su tightened his belt and put on the long sword that Saleen had refined for him . Then, he jumped down the city wall and a pair of metallic wings spread open on the back of his armor . The wings exuded faint golden sword aura and Su flew towards the palace like a huge golden eagle .
Outside of Saleen's bedroom, Cuisi stretched out his hand with difficulty . He moved his fingernails and a silvery white light cut off the wire that had trapped his legs . Then, he removed the two iron needles stuck in his thigh and finally, the arrow that Eleanor had shot at him .
The tip of this arrow had already been removed and in its place was a sharp wooden pole . Eleanor's archery skills were too amazing as the arrow that she had shot at Cuisi's thigh only left behind a hole without damaging any vital parts .
Removing the wire and iron needles also eliminated the paralyzing effects of the poison . Cuisi was now able to regain his mobility . He raised his head and saw Eleanor fleeing for her life . Behind her was something that was only half his height and looked extremely strange for it had a pair of wings that looked pale and diseased .
Despite how annoying it looked, it was a fact that the fellow pursuing Eleanor was much stronger than Cuisi . He looked troubled even as he flapped his wings . The poison had yet to disperse completely, so he was still unable to fly .
The angel pursued fearlessly . Summoning him was the Holy See's last resort . Losing those disciples was not a big deal, but this time around, the Holy See managed to plant a summoner amongst the group of envoys . By doing so, the Holy See would never have genuine allies from then on .
In the future, the envoys of the Tanggulasi Empire would never be received with hospitality . Under the influence of religion, the honor of Tanggulasi noble families had been completely stripped .
Heavenly angels were not living creatures . They were tools used by heaven for battles . They had no feelings, much less any compassion . The order that he had received was to destroy the palace of Daliang City and to kill Saleen .
By right, he should have gone straight to the palace . As a weapon, the grade-9 heaven angel sensed the danger posed by Eleanor, so he decided that he would kill her first before heading the palace to kill every living creature there .

The water puppet was carrying Eleanor as water shield was constantly being activated on the surface of his body . As a puppet, he was not as proficient in casting this grade-4 defense spell compared to Saleen . Not only could Saleen's water shield provide a level of defense that was the peak of middle-level spells, it could also combine with darkness shield . It would appear when the water shield broke .
That was a grade-7 advanced spell and the water puppet was unable to handle such a complicated manoeuvre .
Even so, the resilience of the water shield was beyond what the heavenly angel expected . When he swung his Sword of Light onto the water puppet's defense spell, layers of water shield would break and still, the Sword of Light would never reach the puppet .
The water puppet could sense that he was badly losing the elements within his body . He decided to take off the crystal ring and put it on Eleanor before giving Eleanor and the wings of elf a hard push downwards . Then, he turned around and pounced at the angel .
Eleanor turned back and saw that the water puppet's body had become transparent, leaving only its face, which still looked like Saleen . The heavenly angel's Sword of Light suddenly unleashed a bright light and the cut water puppet's body up hundreds of times . Each time, it would reintegrate into thinner pieces .
Eleanor knew it was just a puppet, but she still shed tears for it, as if it were Saleen . She took out an arrow from her quiver and notched it onto Seven Nights . She prepared a few months' worth of life strength and soul strength and infused them into the arrow .
The water puppet's body disintegrated into pieces instantaneously . Even its head was completely crushed . The thick water elements turned into hundreds of water streams that wrapped up the heavenly angel . Eleanor shot her arrow, which pierced through the heavenly angel's body . This time, it howled with rage . Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click www . webnovel . com for visiting .
The life arrow could take away an enemy's life . Eleanor gave everything she had into the arrow and used up one-sixth of the power stored in the quiver . This was the most powerful arrow she could have shot at her grade and it could take away more than a thousand years of the enemy's life .
Heavenly angels did not have a long lifespan, only three-thousand years . The water puppet's crystal finger was not a physical attack and was a technique that Rafael used against Gods . The water puppet's attack had already injured the angel badly . It was just that as long as a weapon like the heavenly angel was still alive, it would always be able to deal out damage at a grade-9 standard .
Eleanor took out another arrow and shot it with all her might . The arrow would be able to take away five-hundred years of the heavenly angel's lifespan .

She could not control her tears though she knew that the person that saved her was just a puppet and not Saleen . One of the wings of elf was already broken and it was crashing towards the ground . Eleanor twisted her body and managed to see the water streams, that the water puppet had turned into, being cut off by the Sword of Light .
The Angel, who was half-transparent now, rushed towards her like a meteor . The Sword of Light was still blinding in its hands .
Eleanor turned her head back and saw that she was less than three-hundred yards away from the ground . Within such a short time, the powerful water puppet had been hacked into pieces and she had fallen only slightly more than seven-hundred yards .
"There is no one else I can depend on, so I will just have to depend on myself . " Eleanor fingered the edges of her quiver and in a moment, the Elf Emperor Arrow appeared in her hands .
The heavenly angel froze momentarily and Eleanor's expression changed from one of fragility to dignified . It was as if she was the one pursuing the enemy, and not the one crashing towards the ground . The string of Seven Nights vibrated, producing a loud noise .
Buzz… Boom!
The elements in the surrounding area all vibrated along with the string of the bow . Elf Emperor Arrow was a technique that command elements and was one of the purest elemental attack .
The three magic towers unleashed powerful elemental currents from far away at the same time, inducing the defense spell within Daliang City . The expression on the heavenly angel was heavy . He swung his sword multiple times towards the front, like a swordsman who was learning swordsmanship for the first time .
A simple action like that created ripple effects in the air . The spell that was supposed to stop him from flying had failed . The heavenly angel flapped his wings and his body became thinner as his lower body became almost completely transparent . His Sword of Light managed to hack the tail of wings of an elf into pieces .
The defense of the magic towers still managed to delay his actions by a few frames of time .
Eleanor was falling much faster as the wings of an elf had almost been completely destroyed . She quickly cast a wind travel spell, but it was futile in reducing her downward momentum .
The power of the angel's sword could not be converted . A grade-6 Wind Travel spell was no match for the attack of a grade-9 opponent .
Cuisi saw that Eleanor was in danger, so he had no time to care about the lack of strength in his body . He took out a small plate and unleashed the stone statue army that Saleen had given to him . Unless the leading stone statue of the stone statue army had been crushed, they would continue to absorb energy from the ground to continuously revive themselves . Saleen had spent quite a lot of effort to repair the leading stone statue . The thing was a nightmare for warriors .
After slotting the rectangular plate into the chest of the leading stone statue, it began to unleash its subordinate stone statues . Cuisi flapped his wings and flew towards Eleanor . His long whip curled towards her waist . The spikes on the whip had been retracted, leaving it smooth and soft .
When the heavenly angel saw that Eleanor was about to escape, the Sword of Light was no longer being wielded simply . Instead, it was raised while he chanted a prayer urgently . A huge illusion appeared from the Sword of Light as it swung towards the ground . The huge illusion harnessed the power of light . All the elements were split apart by this swing of the sword and the illusion sprinted straight towards Eleanor's back .
Back in the grand hall, Saleen and Lex were still in midst of the darkness dimension . The grade-8 spell was going on for too long .
Saleen was whispering to Lex when he noticed amongst the clothes that had been thrown outside of the water shield that there was a crack on the calabash . He was stunned . The water puppet had been defeated! It was seriously injured and who knew how much time and energy it would take to repair it .
"Lex, something has happened to the water puppet!" Saleen said and sprinted towards his clothes after removing the water shield . The crack on the calabash was not big, but he could see only steam within it . There was only one last remaining strand of pure element that was used to create the water puppet and it was curled up amongst the steam .
Without any hesitation, Saleen took out more than twenty water droplets that had been kept in his devil ring and put them into the calabash . Only then did the crack show signs of recovery .
He had sent the water puppet to be with Eleanor because she was weak in close combat . Now that the water puppet had fallen, what about Eleanor? Saleen began to become nervous .
