“Oh my god of the sky….”

 

It was evident that Sigrid was once again greatly shaken.

 

Just as Violet’s hidden strength far exceeded her expectations, the poor captain probably never imagined that this terrible card player, who could even rival her devoted priestess number one fan, possessed such terrifying power.

 

But Violet didn’t have time to explain or play around with her now. It was time to get down to business.

 

“Xiao Guang, subdue her, but keep her alive.”

 

“Yes!”

 

The dragon lady, who had long been itching to act, finally received her master’s permission and immediately stopped holding back. She wasn’t one to passively take hits, regardless of whether she knew someone or not, controlled or not.

 

Xiao Guang only knew that anyone who dared to lay hands on her master was an enemy!

 

Because there were still some onlookers, under Violet’s covert instruction, she didn’t reveal too many characteristics or exclusive powers of the dragon clan. Dealing with a mere fish that wasn’t even level 80 didn’t require her to use the true abilities of the young dragon lady.

 

With a light tap of her fair and smooth toe, the next moment, the blonde girl had already crossed dozens of meters and appeared in front of the grey-winged angel, delivering a straightforward punch without any fuss!

 

Hilda’s dead silent grey eyes remained unchanged. Immediately, she spread her wings and soared backward, countless vine-formed shields layered one after another to block the punch from the young dragon lady head-on, while simultaneously sending out countless vine threads to entangle her body.

 

“Boom!”

 

Large sections of the vine shield were shattered by the fierce force of the dragon lady’s punch, bursting open instantly, even the outer layer, but Hilda had already taken advantage of this brief gap to create distance. At the same time, all the interfering and controlling vine threads suddenly contracted, directly bundling her into an airtight grey dumpling!

 

“Violet, why aren’t you helping!”

 

As a spectator, Sigrid was even more nervous than the parties involved. The slightest hint of something amiss made her hurriedly speak up, displaying a rather suspicious demeanor.

 

The priestess standing beside her turned back with resignation.

 

“Xiao Guang can defeat that easily, dear. Be patient and quiet, I’m thinking.”

 

“Grumble….”

 

Sure enough, before Sigrid could say anything more, the countless fine threads that had tightly bound the young dragon lady’s body, making it impossible for outsiders to see the internal situation, and even emitting dense gray gas, exploded suddenly.

 

The unharmed golden-haired girl danced with platinum dragon wings that appeared out of nowhere, leaving large cracks on the ground as she chased after the gray-winged angel who had just ascended into the sky, preparing to cast follow-up magic, with an ordinary punch!

 

Both sides, one with a cold and reserved demeanor who disliked speaking in front of others, and the other controlled by special powers, acting as a puppet-like combat puppet, tacitly refrained from attempting any verbal communication and directly engaged in a ping-pong battle in the air.

 

Despite this, even relying solely on physical combat without using any skills, the formidable Sacred Dragon body derived from the Diamond Crystal Dragon was enough to forcibly crush most opponents in the most straightforward manner, and Hilda, transformed into a hybrid angel, was no exception.

 

Hilda’s original profession was a mage, a fact that hadn’t changed even after being contaminated by withering power and becoming a corrupted angel. Despite barely holding on with her exquisite spell manipulation skills and eerie new powers, she still couldn’t withstand the relentless onslaught of the dragon lady.

 

After all, she wasn’t skilled in close combat herself, and Xiao Guang’s formidable defensive power allowed her to completely ignore almost all of Hilda’s counterattacks as an enemy who wasn’t even level 80. After just a few exchanges in the air, the gray-winged angel’s left wing was severed by a single palm strike, and she fell weakly downward.

 

“Oh, it seems the winner has been determined.”

 

From start to finish, the expressionless priestess announced the outcome of this battle, which had no suspense to begin with.

 

The pseudo-gods were undoubtedly powerful, but that was only in comparison to the ordinary people of this world. Although Violet didn’t know the true strength of the divine beings, the few pseudo-gods she had encountered so far gave her the impression that their strength fell within the range of level 70 to level 80.

 

In the world of “Illusory World,” the regular monsters they encountered were all above level 80. While level was important, it was only a foundation. There were too many factors influencing true strength.

 

Just like Lucas, although he was only level 80, he was much stronger than an ordinary level 80 Celestial Guardian.

 

After knocking down the gray-winged angel, the dragon lady mercilessly pursued her, far exceeding her expected speed. With several swift strikes, she broke Hilda’s other wing, limbs, and then kicked away her eerie staff before casually standing up and turning around.

 

“Master, mission accomplished.”

 

“Well done.”

 

Violet didn’t think Xiao Guang’s actions were excessive or cruel. Leaving aside the fact that they weren’t particularly close, they were enemies with Hilda now. No matter what happened before or whether it was intentional on Hilda’s part, an enemy was an enemy.

 

When dealing with enemies, there was no room for mercy. Even if they weren’t killed, they had to be incapacitated or rendered non-threatening before any further considerations.

 

As the group approached Hilda, who was now lying motionless, twitching slightly like a stranded fish, Sigrid’s face showed reluctance. It seemed like she wanted to bend down to check on her but was restrained by Leona from behind.

 

The elder priestess didn’t say anything, simply shaking her head silently towards the white-feathered girl.

 

Even without speaking, everyone understood her meaning.

 

This wasn’t Hilda anymore. Considering the merciless attacks from the other side and Hilda’s current state—completely incapacitated, limbs severed, lying on the ground like a broken puppet, with her dead grey eyes showing no signs of life—it was likely that this former “Four Wing” had been thoroughly transformed into something akin to an Abyssal Beast.

 

Being injured or bleeding due to a moment of compassion would be true foolishness.

 

The priestess glanced appreciatively at the mature woman who was obviously the leader among the four priests, then immediately bent down to examine the fallen angel with clipped wings.

 

“How strong is she?”

 

“Fairly average, I suppose, compared to the standard around here… but not as strong as that person from the last time.”

 

Hmm, just a pawn after all.

 

That person… the mysterious figure from Omo Island, was he the mastermind behind Hilda’s current state? Could the destruction of Spryce Island also be related to it?

 

With these questions in mind, Violet placed her hand on Hilda and activated 【Information Detection】.

 

But at that moment, a sudden change occurred!

 

“Swish!”

 

A dull gray light shot out from the vine-like patterns on the gray-winged angel’s forehead, darting like lightning straight into the nearest position corresponding to the black-haired girl, completely disappearing.

 

This didn’t seem to be a mere attack, as even the emergency protection of 【Feather Robe Graria】 wasn’t triggered.

 

“Master!”

 

“Violet!”

 

“Lady Violet!”

 

Several exclamations came from her surroundings simultaneously, but as the person involved, the world before the priestess blurred, and once again underwent a drastic change.

 

“?”

 

With a faint flash of light, Violet found herself standing on a somewhat familiar ground.
