At this moment, Anakitty remained in Twilight Manor, earnestly training Belle.
Belle, as always, was diligent to the point of obsession. Even with her body riddled with wounds and covered in bruises, she continued to rise, again and again, brandishing her weapon and launching fierce attacks at Anakitty without hesitation.
Her unrelenting spirit pleased Leon deeply. Satisfied with the sight, Leon did not disturb them. He turned silently and left Twilight Manor, heading straight for Daedalus Street in search of Tione and Tiona.
Currently, the area surrounding Daedalus Street was filled with patrolling members, moving vigilantly through the outer perimeter.
However, the patrols merely circled around the district—they never ventured inside.
Though there was a heavy military presence nearby, Daedalus Street itself remained open, its entrances unblocked. Leon entered the labyrinthine district without encountering any obstacles.
The streets of Daedalus Street were as complex and winding as ever.
If his memory served correctly, the confusing layout had been intentionally designed, specifically to hide the entrance to the artificial labyrinth buried beneath.
Even those who lived or adventured within Daedalus Street often found themselves hopelessly lost.
Standing atop the roof of one of the buildings, Leon activated the Vein of Light, scanning the surrounding area for any trace of Tione and Tiona's presence.
It didn't take long before he located them and immediately, he rushed in their direction.
At that time, the Amazonian sisters were strolling casually along one of Daedalus Street's winding alleyways, chatting away without a single trace of tension or urgency. They didn't seem to be searching for a maze at all.
"Leon!!"
Tione exclaimed excitedly the moment she saw him, leaping onto his back and wrapping her arms around him.
"Leon, what brings you here?" Tiona followed with a bright smile.
"I told you before—I would raise your potential and strength. Well... it's ready now." Leon replied as he reached out and gently stroked Tione's hair, his expression calm and warm.
"It's ready?!" Tione's eyes sparkled like jewels as excitement lit up her face.
"Is it the thing you mentioned before?" Tiona blinked in surprise and asked for confirmation.
Tione had told her about the angel reincarnation, and Tiona had no objections.
Tione wanted to stay by her side forever and Tiona, too, couldn't bear to be separated from her sister. From childhood to now, the two had always been together, and they intended for that to never change.
"Yeah."
"Come on, let's head to a quiet place. I'll begin your reincarnation."
"Then let's go back to Twilight Manor—my room should be perfect."
"Alright, let's move."
"It'll be faster if you carry us both."
"I don't mind!!!"
Leon nodded without argument.
As he carried the two sisters and prepared for the ceremony, he recalled the previous success.
Tsubaki, a Level 5 adventurer, had reincarnated into a four-winged angel, awakening the power of flame, and her strength had leapt straight to the limits of Level 6.
Leon wondered—what kind of changes would Tione and Tiona undergo once they became angels?
He stood before the Angel Reincarnation Pool, gazing at the two newly formed light cocoons within.
The energy required for Tione and Tiona's reincarnation was 10,000 more than Tsubaki, yet 10,000 less than Ais.
That made the cost 90,000 energy points each.
Leon's current energy pool held 190,000 points, which was just enough to complete both reincarnations.
And so, without delay, he initiated the process.
To be honest, after witnessing Tsubaki's transformation, Leon himself was tempted.
She had jumped an entire level in strength just from a single baptism.
If he were to undergo angelic reincarnation, the benefits would surely be even greater. Unfortunately, he couldn't use the Angel Reincarnation Pool himself.
As strange as it was, the artifact strictly forbade its owner from activating it upon themselves. No matter what he tried, it simply didn't respond to him.
It was… bizarre.
"There's just a bit over 10,000 left…" Leon muttered to himself. "I wonder if that'll be enough for Lili's reincarnation."
"And then there's Haruhime, too."
"Forget it. Let's wait another two days."
"Once Demeter's batch of magic stones is collected, I'll reincarnate both of them."
This had already been discussed with Hestia in advance.
Lili and Haruhime didn't have overwhelming potential on their own, and they couldn't possibly keep up with Belle's pace in the long run.
So, Leon had made the decision to give them a 'cheat'.
As for Belle...
Leon didn't want to interfere with her growth.
Too many gods were watching her. If Belle were to be reincarnated as an angel, who knew what chaos it might spark?
Besides, with Belle's inherent potential, there was no need. She would catch up on her own, without shortcuts.
Leon shook his head and cleared his thoughts. Now wasn't the time for that.
He stood still and waited quietly beside the pool for Tione and Tiona's reincarnation to complete.
Time passed, and soon, an hour had flown by.
Just like with Tsubaki, the light cocoons of Tione and Tiona cracked. Shards of divine light scattered in all directions, and their transformations were unveiled.
The changes were similar to Tsubaki's, with one key difference—
Each of them had six wings of pure light fluttering behind their backs.
"Six wings…?"
Leon narrowed his eyes, slightly surprised.
"Based on Tsubaki's evolution, their strength should've only reached Level 6."
"But now they've got one more pair of wings than her…"
"How does this scale even work?"
He scratched his head in confusion.
"System?"
When in doubt, ask quantum mechanics—no, wait. Ask the system.
A cold mechanical voice answered instantly in his mind.
[Matching the host's world level with angel rank... complete.]
[Two-winged angels correspond to Level 2–4 adventurers.]
NFour-winged angels correspond to Level 5–6."
[Six-winged angels correspond to Level 7–8.]
[Eight-winged angels correspond to Level 9–10.]
[Ten-winged angels are equivalent to divine subordinates—servants of main gods.]
[Twelve-winged angels correspond to true deities of this world.]
Leon's expression cleared as the explanation echoed in his mind.
"Got it."
"So Tione and Tiona… they've already stepped into Level 7."
He looked toward the sisters with increasing anticipation.
"I wonder what kind of powers they've awakened..."
The next second, the two newly reborn angels spread their radiant wings and flew to Leon in an instant.
As expected, the moment Tione reached him, she leapt straight into his arms and held him tightly.
"Leon! This angel form is amazing! I feel so powerful—I'm brimming with strength!" She exclaimed, face flushed with excitement.
"Yeah! I feel like I could crush ten of my old selves right now!" Tiona pumped her fist in the air, throwing out a few mock punches. Her voice was filled with glee.
"Thank you so much, Leon!" The two of them said in unison.
Leon smiled faintly and replied simply, "You're welcome."
