Chapter 47: Four-winged Angel

  Chapter 47: Four-Winged Angel

  "Ah, no, nothing. Your Highness, please hurry up and hand over the military emblem to me and return to Mado immediately. Don't worry, His Majesty won't make things difficult for you, after all, we're brothers." Su Chuo smiled wryly: "I hope so, Gu Chuan brother, you must be careful, Bi Meng Wang is also in Stanra City. Ever since he injured four of my subordinates that time, he hasn't appeared again, I don't know what kind of conspiracy they have."

  Furukawa nodded and said, "Thank you for reminding me, Your Highness."

  He let out a sigh of relief, knowing that he couldn't compete with the Demon Emperor for the time being. He walked to the shore, picked up the commander's seal and handed it over to Kokawa, "Brother, I'm leaving this to you." Kokawa nodded and took it. Su Chao sighed again, turned around and left with his trusted followers.

  Seeing Su Zhe leave, Gu Feng said with a hint of hatred: "This old scoundrel, he also has his day."

  Ancient Cloud said: "Exactly, I really want to chop him into ten thousand pieces."

  "Alright, you all go down first, take over Su Cha's troops and then settle our troops. Princess, you..."

  "Uncle Furukawa, don't worry about me, I'm going to receive the Sōda troops with my two brothers, so please rest assured, I won't cause you any trouble."

  "I hope so." The highly skilled Yukawa was at a loss for what to do with this little girl.

  Out of the tent, Gu Feng held back Mo Yue and said: "Little princess, you haven't explained things clearly to us since last time."

  "What's going on?"

  Ko Yu said, "It's about the matter of Lei Lusifa last time. When we first met you, we told you about how Lei saved us, and you asked us not to tell Father and Your Majesty. We both kept our promise, so why did you ask us to keep it a secret? And why did his horse run to your place? Did you two siblings recognize each other or something?"

  Mo Yue snorted and said, "Who is his sibling, you guys don't need to care about this matter, I will handle it myself. Remember, keep your mouths shut. This matter I will settle myself. Lei, I will definitely let you know my prowess."

  Just tens of miles away from me, I suddenly felt a chill all over my body. "What's going on? Have I been too tired lately? Even my ability to withstand the cold has decreased a lot."

  Since the arrival of the Demon Tribe army, they have not shown any tendency to attack, but instead have stationed all their troops in the original camp, constantly repairing and increasing defensive fortifications. I'm delighted to be carefree. With Jinsil and Panzong, we sat together on the city wall of Stanra, eating dinner.

  "When eating, Silver said: 'They have all come for three days, how can there be no movement at all!' Hearing Silver say this, Gold hurriedly put down the delicious food in his hand, covered Silver's mouth with one hand, and begged: 'Dear, don't say that, it's better if they don't attack, your crow's mouth we are all afraid of.'"

  I recalled the super crow's mouth of Yin Na Bai Zhong, and I also had a chill, hurriedly stood up, looked at the direction of the Magic Clan's camp, fortunately, the Magic Clan's camp was still quiet.

  Yin pulled open the golden hand and said: "If you don't say it, then don't say it. Boss, where are the reinforcements you mentioned? My brothers under me are all very tired, and our defensive materials are becoming more and more scarce. The enemy has sent so many fresh troops, if they launch a continuous fierce attack for several days, we may not be able to hold on. If it's really not possible, let's retreat, after all, there is still a way out now."

  Pan Zong sighed and said: "I've already sent someone to urge, but there's no news yet, let's wait a bit longer. We've come this far, it would be a pity to give up halfway."

  I nodded and said: "Yes, let's hold on a bit longer. If we really can't resist, then we'll consider this issue again."

  "Report..."

  Pan Zongteng suddenly stood up, it was his snake man scout under his command.

  "Report, Your Excellency, reinforcements have arrived fifty miles outside the city."

  We were overjoyed at once, I grabbed the snake man and asked: "How many people came, what kind of ethnic group are they?"

  The Snake Man replied respectfully: "There are indeed many people who have come, with over 2 million, including the 100,000-strong Lion Army and other tribal armies. Almost all of them were led by the chiefs of their respective tribes." We looked at each other in dismay, as it was clear that the chiefs of the other tribes had brought their people here to steal credit.

  Pan Zong snorted in anger, "We've fought the toughest battles, and now these other tribes' bastards come to reap the rewards? I really want to leave them here and walk away. Let's see how they deal with the demon tribe's army."

  I patted Pan Zong's shoulder and said, "Big brother, don't be angry. It's better to have come than not to have come at all. Don't worry, they won't get anything out of this. Have you forgotten that a quarter of the province's supplies are stored in your department?"

  At the thought of a large batch of various supplies, Pan Zong's face suddenly lit up with joy, and the nine snake heads twisted in unison. "That's also true, let's get ready to welcome them."

  I thought for a moment and said, "We can't let them enter the city. Big brother, you should know that Stanra City is not small, but if it accommodates hundreds of thousands of troops, it will be overloaded. Moreover, these soldiers from various tribes are definitely not all good people. If they enter the city, who knows what they will do? How about this: let one thousand people from the Crazy Lion Army enter the city, and the rest can camp outside?"

  "Will they agree?"

  I snorted, saying: "Can they disagree? I think the command of these troops is still in our hands. If they don't obey our orders, how will they explain themselves to the Beast Emperor later? The Beast Emperor's power is getting bigger and bigger now. They have to be considerate, besides, Father is still in the city, we can fake an imperial edict. The three words 'Bei Meng Wang' still have some deterrent power among the beastmen."

  …………

  As expected, although the tribal leaders were dissatisfied with us not allowing their troops to enter the city, they couldn't afford to make a scene due to the Beast Emperor and my father's presence. They had no choice but to station their troops outside the city. To appease them, I invited all the tribal leaders to Stanra City and treated them to the best food and wine. This time, four major tribes came, namely the Tiger People Tribe, Leopard People Tribe, Bear People Tribe, and Centaur Tribe. These four tribes are considered middle-tier powers among the beastmen, with the Tiger People's ferocity, the Leopard People's agility, the Bear People's heavy armor corps, and the Centaur's divine archery corps being extremely famous among the beastmen. Although they can't compare to my Four Great Legions' elite troops, they are still top-notch among the beastmen armies. From their soldiers' military bearing, it's clear that these troops are the cream of the crop from each tribe. With this force, I no longer need to fear the Demon Tribe's army. Even if I were to lead a campaign against the entire Demon Realm, I would have confidence. Suddenly, Stanra City was filled with 200,000 troops, and our side's morale received a huge boost. After entertaining the tribal leaders, I returned to the city walls just as Mulk arrived.

  "Fourth brother......" Meng Ke's eyes turned bright red as he grabbed my shoulder tightly.

  "Third brother, you've returned just in time. I didn't expect that you would truly bring a large number of elite beastmen."

  Meng Ke burst out laughing and said, "Yes, Old Fourth, do you know? In the past, whenever His Majesty ordered those guys to send troops, they would always make excuses or use some ordinary soldiers as substitutes. But this time, I heard that we've gained a lot of benefits on the front lines, even bringing our family fortunes with us. These 200,000 people are absolutely the elite among our Beastman tribe's elite! Originally, I wanted to ask His Majesty to dispatch some Lionmen troops, but he said these people would be enough for you to command, and that you would understand his meaning."

  I nodded and said: "Your Majesty is right, I understand. Originally, I didn't want to fight the demon clan to a two-sided defeat either. These troops can be used to intimidate the other side."

  Meng Ke said: "Your Majesty says that in name, all troops are still under the command of King Meng..."

  "I understand, haha, Father is in seclusion now, and I'm his full representative, hahaha."

  …………

  Demon Clan's Great Camp.

  "What? The beastman tribe's reinforcements have arrived so quickly, we've only been here for three days! Father, what should we do?" Gu Feng stood up restlessly after hearing the messenger's report, pacing back and forth in the command tent with worry-filled eyes.

  Furukawa glared at him and said, "You'd better sit down honestly. You're already in your thirties, why are you still so impulsive? It's just a small matter, what's there to be so shocked about?"

  "It's a small matter, Father. Didn't you hear what the scout just said? The enemy's reinforcements are all elite beastmen. If we clash head-on, we won't have the upper hand. Although the Dark Mage Corps is supporting us, don't forget that the beastmen have a strong innate resistance to magic. If we don't come up with a strategy soon, I'm afraid we'll follow in Su Zhe's footsteps. How will you explain this to the Magic Emperor when we return?"

  Furukawa glanced at him and said, "I have my own measure, no need for you to worry. We are waiting for their reinforcements, but I didn't expect them to come so quickly. It seems that what Sosaku said was right, the opposing camp indeed has excellent commanders, he can think of our reinforcements one step ahead."

  …………

  At dawn, I stood on the city wall with Pan Zong, Jin Yin and Meng Ke, observing the situation below. Under my command, the four tribes that came to support us were arranged in four squares in front of Stanra City, with the Tiger Tribe, Bear Tribe and Leopard Tribe in the front and the Centaur Tribe in the back. Among the three tribes in the front, the Bear Tribe was in the middle, with the Tiger and Leopard Tribes on both sides as wings. I knew that once they discovered our reinforcements had arrived, the enemy would definitely take action. Our reinforcements were all elite troops, so if they wanted to show off, I'd give them a chance. I absolutely didn't believe that the Demon Tribe commander would still send people to their deaths with such a luxurious formation as mine. The remnants under my command needed rest now; they had been on high alert for days, and now that victory was in sight, they needed rest. I believed that although this battle had caused significant losses to the four elite legions I led, their combat effectiveness would definitely be greatly enhanced.

  A black dot suddenly rose from the enemy camp and flew quickly towards Stanra City. The weather was very clear today, and Jin Yin, with the sharpest eyesight, discovered the opponent as soon as it took off. Jin said: "An enemy is flying over, should be a fallen angel, why is there only one?"

  I calmly ordered: "Pass the order, when the enemy flies to within 500 meters of Stanra City, have the Centaurian divine archers (the Centaurs are naturally excellent marksmen, and their divine archers are the strongest snipers on the battlefield. Their longbows not only have incredible power and range, but also extremely high accuracy, almost reaching a level of 100 hits out of 100 shots. In the entire Centaurian tribe, there are very few divine archers. This time, their chieftain has brought 50 of them.) fire in unison."

  "Wow, what an incredible speed! Look, it's a fallen angel with four wings!"

  I focused my gaze, and indeed, the biggest difference between this fallen angel who flew in this time and those of the past was that he had four wings. Although I couldn't see his face clearly, I knew that this person must be the father of the Gufeng brothers, the only four-winged fallen angel in the demon clan aside from the Demon Emperor, because it was impossible for the Demon Emperor to appear here, and only he had this possibility.

  He soon flew into the range of the centaur archers, and the archers who received the order were surprised by the enemy's speed, but they did not show any mercy. Fifty black lightning bolts broke through the air, directly attacking Kogawa in the sky. These fifty arrows were shot with great skill, none of them directly aimed at Kogawa, but distributed to his front, left and right three directions. With his current speed, it was impossible for him to retreat, and no matter how he dodged, at least twenty arrows would hit his body.

  Kogawa laughed loudly in the air, praising: "Good archery skills." The four wings behind him suddenly spread out and then flapped downwards, releasing a faint black energy that swept down. Although the centaur's arrow had incredible penetration power, it was easily broken by this dark energy. The fifty arrows returned to their original path, seeking out their owner. At the same time, the Centaurian elder's eyes widened in shock as Kogawa released an energy sphere, which burst open in mid-air, forming a golden and silver light net that completely blocked the fifty arrows.

  Jin and Yin let out a muffled hum simultaneously by my side, apparently having suffered under the clash of their internal energies. I was secretly shocked - Gu's casual strike had such power. It seemed that the Four-Winged Fallen Angel wasn't just an empty title after all.

  Seeing his own brother at a disadvantage, Panzong was no longer involved. He secretly recited an incantation and shook his body, revealing his true form. At this time, Furukawa had already flown close to the city gate. He saw Panzong's strange phenomenon and wondered: "Is there really such a tribe? No wonder Su Cha wanted to eat him."

  Although Panzong was in a rage, he still knew that the enemy was not easy to deal with. The purple big head in the center suddenly swelled up and sprayed out a thick purple smoke, which rushed straight at Kogawa.

  Furukawa was two zhang away from the smoke when he caught a whiff of sweet fragrance that made his body sway, and he immediately understood the severity of the poison. His body suddenly retreated, his four wings spread wide, and his hands clasped together in front of his chest as he silently chanted an incantation. As he chanted, the black pupils in his eyes grew larger, and a black six-pointed star appeared behind him. Furukawa let out a loud shout: "Dark Magic Seal - Impenetrable Defense!" A thick black energy beam shot out from the magic star behind him, instantly enveloping the dan poison that Panzong had released. Panzong tried to spray again, but I hastily shouted: "Brother, don't! It's useless!" Furukawa raised his hands, and the energy beam containing the dan poison suddenly shot upwards, transforming into a black energy ball that floated in his hand. The energy ball still had a faint purple mist swirling inside it. Furukawa was secretly delighted - this sealed magic bullet containing the dan poison could withstand an army of thousands if it were to explode. He didn't attack us, but instead hovered there, staring at us fixedly. When his gaze swept past me, a look of surprise flashed across his face, and I knew that he too had taken me for a human. What surprised me most was that the demon tribe's military camp didn't stir in the slightest - could it be that Furukawa thought he could single-handedly wipe out my army of hundreds of thousands? If so, then he was being overly arrogant.

  Pan Zong saw that the Dan toxin he had worked hard to accumulate was taken away by the enemy, and suddenly became furious. The nine snake heads roared in unison, and countless third- and fourth-level magic spells poured down on Gu Chuan like a landslide. Gu Chuan's face wore a cold smile, and thick black fog continuously gushed out from his body, shrouding himself within it. Third- and fourth-level magic had no effect on him whatsoever; whether it was wind blades, fireballs, water bullets, or ice pillars, as soon as they touched the black mist, they would immediately dissipate. The 200,000 beastmen below Stanra City were stunned, this magnificent attack bringing them intense shock. They excitedly discovered that there were actually people in their own Beastman tribe who could rival the Fallen Angel of the Demon tribe.

  It was unclear who started it, but the four words "Beastmen must win" filled the entire battlefield. Amidst the thunderous cheers, Panzong once again used his Meteorite Technique, and a massive meteorite fell from the sky, heading straight for Kogawa in mid-air. Kogawa furrowed his brow and roared, "Isn't that enough?" His body's black aura surged violently, forming a gigantic black sphere with a diameter of over 10 meters in mid-air. The black sphere also faintly revealed purple lightning within. I was already stunned on the walls of Stanra City - it turned out that the Fallen Angel's abilities could be used like this.

  The gigantic black sphere formed by Furukawa suddenly shot up and directly confronted the meteorite. One was a physical entity, while the other was an energy body; two different types of attacks collided in mid-air, producing a deafening "Boom!" The meteorite disintegrated into large clouds of dust that scattered in all directions. Panzong stared blankly at his own seventh-level earth-elemental attack magic being completely neutralized. Since he had reached this realm, it was the first time someone had directly countered his Meteorite Technique head-on; of course, excluding the forbidden technique used by the Fallen Angel during its rampage last time.

  Some ash-headed and earth-faced Gu Chuan flew back, his face full of anger was very obvious, apparently being continuously blocked and enraged. Gu Chuan placed the palms of both hands opposite each other on his chest, suddenly pushing towards Pan Zong, a thick dark energy column rushed straight towards Pan Zong.

  My face changed, and I shouted loudly: "Big brother, get out of the way!" But from Panzong's face, I saw a determined and desperate determination. Suddenly, I understood that just now, his ultimate move had been blocked head-on by someone else. For his own honor and dignity, Panzong would never dodge. There was no time to reflect, and I used my full strength to release the Crazy God Fighting Energy with the heart method of crazy war in the world, directly attacking the dark energy pillar from the side. Jin and Yin didn't have time to transform, and they also released their golden and silver fighting energy with all their might, attacking the dark energy pillar from the other side. Panzong's four physical attack heads were in front, and countless magical seals attached to them violently collided with the dark energy pillar head-on.

  Kogawa saw the three of us go all out, and instantly pushed his dark magic to its peak. The column of dark energy he emitted suddenly became several times thicker.

  First, the two energies of Jin and Yin struck the dark energy pillar from both sides, and the massive backlash sent me flying high into the air, heavily crashing onto the castle tower behind me. Fortunately, my body was robust, and it was only a sideways backlash, so although I felt a surge of blood and qi, I only suffered minor injuries. Jin and Yin were slightly better off than me but were still knocked back more than ten steps, landing on their buttocks on the ground. Panzong used his strongest defense to withstand the head-on attack. Although our attacks had weakened the energy emitted by Guhe, its absolute intensity was too high, and Panzong's massive snake body was heavily struck, crashing into a small section of the castle tower before coming to a stop. The four physical attacking snake heads were completely shattered, splashing blood everywhere.

  Kogawa was severely injured by the Panzong, but he himself was not feeling well either. Under our joint attack, he also suffered some internal injuries. He knew that at this time, he absolutely could not show weakness, and mobilized the majestic and surging dark magic in his body to suppress the injury.

  Kogawa stood on the arrow tower of the city wall and said in a cold voice: "Now, can we have a good talk?"

  "Who dares to come to my Beastman's place and deceive people, creating such a large energy fluctuation? It turns out to be Furukawa brother, long time no see. Reiou greets you with respect." The father's majestic and powerful figure appeared on the city wall, all the beastman troops simultaneously shouted excitedly: "Bimon King, Bimon King..."

  Seeing Father appear in time, I breathed a sigh of relief. A pervert like Furukawa can only be countered by Father.

  I and Jinyun rushed to Panzong's side, examining his injuries. Panzong's poisonous snake head bitterly smiled: "This time is even more miserable than the last time you guys beat me up. The dark power has invaded the meridians in my body. I'm afraid old snake me will be returning soon."

  Upon hearing this, I didn't say another word and with a swift motion, I infused the dark energy into Pan Zong's body. The dark energy ball that I released was under my control, and it absorbed the invading dark magic like a magnet. Pan Zong's face relaxed, and he quickly mobilized his remaining strength to expel the invading dark energy towards me.

  Jin and Yin stood before us, looking like a pair of guardian deities. Even they, who usually liked to fool around, had turned serious.

  The father raised his hand and stopped the beastmen from shouting, looking at Furukawa with a calm expression: "Brother Gu, what brings you here alone this time?"

  As soon as his father appeared, Furukawa knew that today's action would probably be blown, he didn't think that besides his father, there was someone among the beastmen who could contend with him for a while and get hurt. Furukawa gave an evil smile and said: "Lei brother, long time no see! (Furukawa did not participate in the last war against the Dragon God) Our two tribes have always been allies, why would it become like this? This is probably not your territory, you beastmen invaded our demon tribe's territory without reason and forcibly occupied it, isn't that a bit too much?"

  "Overboard?" his father hummed, saying: "If it weren't for you guys forcing us, would we have met in battle? I dare ask, how many of your demon clan died in the last war against the Dragon God? How great were your losses?"

  Furukawa frowned and said, "I'm not quite sure about this, I wasn't the commander of the last expedition."

  "Your tone is high, I'll tell you, your demon clan's loss isn't great, the number of dead warriors doesn't exceed 1 million, this is me being generous, you can go back and investigate. But what about us? Do you know how big a loss our beastmen have suffered? More than 30 million brave warriors remain forever on the battlefield in front of Stru Castle. In comparison, your demon clan's loss is much lighter. Yet, you use all sorts of excuses to demand money and grain from us, we beastmen are poor, you know that. Since we're friendly allied nations, why do you still extort us like this? Isn't it because you're afraid that if our beastmen become strong, we won't be controlled by your demon clan anymore? To prevent our development, you even sent a fallen angel to assassinate the messenger of the Beast God's teachings. Is this what you call friendship towards an allied nation?"

  Kogawa's expression didn't change at all as he listened to his father, and he said calmly: "As the saying goes, 'those who are not of our kind must have a different heart.' We also have to think about our own country and nation. I admit that what we did was wrong, but you've been occupying Dundee Province for almost two months now. Isn't that enough? You only lost a few dozen people, while we lost four Fallen Angels. Compared to that, our losses are greater."

  The father snorted in anger and said, "You fallen angels are life, aren't our beastman warriors? If you came here today just to say these things, then you can leave. We'll meet on the battlefield and see who's more powerful, your demon tribe or our beastman tribe."

  Furukawa furrowed his brow, knowing that with his injured body he might not be able to defeat Bi Mong-wang. He gritted his teeth and said: "Then what do you want in order to withdraw your troops? What are your conditions?"

  Bimon Wang gazed at the ancient river and said, "Our conditions are simple. Firstly, this war is your fault, so we will not give you any compensation. As for what we have plundered, it will never be returned. Consider it as compensation for the years of oppression our clan has suffered under your demonic rule."

  Kogawa had already thought of this and nodded slightly: "This is acceptable, I can still make decisions, things have already happened, in order not to deepen the hatred between our two tribes, I represent the Demon Emperor to agree to your request. Is there anything else?"

  "My father pondered the sincerity of Furukawa, and continued: 'Secondly, I hope to sign a non-aggression treaty with your demon tribe for the next three years. In other words, you absolutely cannot take any retaliatory actions against us because of this incident.'"

  Furukawa smiled wryly and said, "Originally, our demon clan didn't have any ill intentions towards you. The last time's incident was entirely caused by Sosachin Prince stirring up trouble behind the scenes. Now, His Majesty the Demon Emperor has already arrested Sosachin Prince and signed this ceasefire agreement. I represent His Majesty in agreeing to it as well. Our common enemy is the Dragon God Empire, isn't it? If our two armies exhaust ourselves here, and the Dragon God chooses this moment to attack, how will we defend ourselves? Neither of us wants to be exterminated, do we? Forming an alliance is the only way out for both our clans. Although this time's incident was quite unpleasant, I guarantee that we absolutely won't hold a grudge against your beastman clan."

  The father nodded in satisfaction and said, "Thirdly, if we, the Beastmen tribe, do not permit it in the future, your Demon tribe is not allowed to set foot in our territory. From now on, we no longer need your supplies, and you should not think about exploiting us again. Our Beastmen will become a completely independent country with full sovereignty."

  Kogawa said in dismay, "You don't need our support, and you won't let us exploit... I can understand that. But if you don't let us set foot on your land, what if a war breaks out? Are we not going to help you either?"

  "Father replied coldly: 'It's still too early to talk about these things. At the very least, we don't want to see your demon clan on our own territory.'"

  Furukawa thought for a moment and said, "Alright, I also agree to this condition. However, Lei, in order to coexist peacefully, we've made so many concessions. How will you show your sincerity?"

  "My father said, 'We beastmen have always been a people of our word. How about this: tomorrow at noon, we'll formally sign a non-aggression pact in the middle of the battlefield between our two armies. Then your troops will withdraw fifty miles, and my army will pull out of Stanra City, then gradually withdraw from all of Dundee territory. At the same time, we'll also release the captured Governor of Dundee back to you. What do you think?"

  "The body of Furukawa slowly floated up, smiling and saying: 'Then it's settled, Lei younger brother, see you tomorrow, I hope you can keep this promise.'"

  The father did not respond, watching as Kogawa's figure gradually disappeared before he let out a sigh of relief. Jin stepped forward and asked, "He came alone, and under our combined attack just now, he must have been secretly injured. Why didn't you keep him? If we had killed him, the Demon Emperor would surely lose his right-hand man."

  His father glanced at the gold and silver with a look of disdain, saying: "What do you know? Do you think Gu Chuan is so easy to deal with? Even in my heyday, I couldn't keep him from getting hurt, let alone now that our goal has been achieved. Why bother being so ruthless? If we really kill Gu Chuan, the Demon Emperor might lose his mind and fight us to the death, which isn't something I want to see."

  I took a deep breath, slowly withdrew my energy, and finally cleared the dark magic from Pan Zong's body. He can now heal himself. As I came to, I overheard Jin Yin and Father's conversation. To prevent them from clashing, I hastily interjected: "Father, you can't beat Gu Chuan, can you?"

  "My father turned his head and looked at me, saying: 'We are not like the Mongol warriors who fabricate lies in order to gain honor. Indeed, I am no match for the Four-Winged Fallen Angel. Not even in my prime...'" My father's face was somewhat downcast.

  I was taken aback and asked: "What's going on?"

  "Dad shook his head, 'Nothing, there are some things you don't need to know yet, I'll tell you when the time is right. How's your older brother doing?'"

  I turned back to look at Panzong, who was solemnly operating his internal energy. Jin and Yin knew I was coming over and realized that they wouldn't be able to quarrel with Father anymore, so they had already returned to Panzong's side to protect him. "Big Brother's injury is severe, but he's no longer in danger of losing his life. That Gu Chuan guy's abilities are really terrifying - it turns out that the difference between a four-winged fallen angel and a two-winged one is really this great."

  His father gazed out at the distant demon tribe's camp, saying with a hint of self-mockery: "You know, when I was young, I fought against Akawa six times. At that time, we were both still very young, and your grandfather was still alive. Since your grandmother was from the demon tribe, our alliance with them was very strong back then, so we often visited the demon tribe. My physical condition was exceptionally good, even among the strongest of the demon beasts, I was considered a genius. My strength grew much faster than ordinary people, and at your age, the Two-Winged Fallen Angel wasn't even my match. When I was young, not even the Demon King and Akawa together could defeat me. I could easily beat them. Akawa once vowed to defeat me, but it took him 30 years to fulfill that vow. They're both a bit older than me now, probably over 60. About ten years ago, after your grandfather passed away, I became the strongest warrior in Bimon, and was at the height of my powers. That's when Akawa came alone from the demon tribe to find me. He said he had reached the seventh layer of the Tenma Decision, achieving the strength of a Four-Winged Fallen Angel. I've always loved to fight, so having an opponent who could match me was the most exciting thing for me. So we found a quiet place and fought. That time, I lost, and it was a crushing defeat. It was also then that I realized my peak had already passed, and no matter how hard I trained, I could only maintain my current strength, but not improve further. The power of the Fallen Angel increases exponentially after gaining four wings, so if you ever face Akawa in the future, be sure to run away as soon as possible."
