At this moment, the Hellfang Lion looked at Zayen with pure killing intent in its eyes. With a low, furious roar, it charged forward.
"Redeemed Holy Angel, descend!"
The Hellfang Lion, which had been charging toward Zayen at full speed, suddenly stopped for a brief moment, took a sharp breath, and then kicked off the ground, leaping backward with tremendous force.
The instant the Hellfang Lion moved back, a beam of light suddenly fell from the sky, striking the spot where it had been standing and sending dust and debris flying everywhere.
Zayen instinctively raised his arm to shield his eyes.
"Damn… What's that?"
As the dust slowly settled, Zayen's eyes widened in shock.
A massive greatsword had slammed into the ground. The ground around the greatsword was split apart, cracks spreading outward like a spiderweb.
At the same time, light poured down from the sky.
Within that descending light, a tall figure slowly took shape.
Six glowing wings unfolded one by one, with each feather glowing like forged gold. A tall figure clad in white and gold armor, and in its hand was another golden blade, identical in aura to the greatsword embedded in the earth. The figure slowly descended from the sky and landed in front of Zayen.
As soon as the figure's feet touched the ground, it suddenly dropped to one knee.
The impact sent a dull shock through the earth, cracks spreading beneath it. One hand pressed against the ground while the other held the greatsword upright, its tip embedded in the ground.
The overwhelming holy pressure surged outward like a wave.
"Honored Lord, I rise at your summons and bind my existence to your command." It was only when the angel spoke that Zayen finally came back to his senses. The six-winged angel said in a deep voice.
At the same time, a translucent system notification appeared before his eyes.

....
Excellent attributes.
Even Zayen himself hadn't expected the Redeemed Angel he summoned to be this strong.
The six-winged Redeemed Angel not only possessed overwhelming strength but also an astonishing amount of health. Its vitality was terrifying.
Judging from the six-winged Redeemed Angel's attributes and skills, the six-winged angel—with its high strength and stamina—was clearly a powerful frontline combatant.
"Don't keep kneeling anymore; stand up."
After reviewing the six-winged Redeemed Angel's attributes, Zayen spoke to the angel, still kneeling before him.
It wasn't out of consideration for his subordinate—far from it—but simply because the six-winged Redeemed Angel was enormous.
Even kneeling, his size was already roughly the same as Zayen's own height.
"Thank you, Great Lord!"
Hearing Zayen tell him to get up, the six-winged Redeemed Angel immediately stood up.
It must be said, the six-winged Redeemed Angel's size was truly too enormous.
Just him standing before Zayen made him feel an extreme sense of oppression.
No wonder it could lift such a massive greatsword.
Before Zayen could even give the six-winged Redeemed Angel an order to fight the Hellfang Lion, the angel suddenly turned, locking its cold, dead eyes onto the beast.
The Hellfang Lion, which was still in shock by the sudden appearance of the six-winged Redeemed Angel, intently took two steps backward. Sensing the sudden, oppressive presence. The Hellfang Lion's fur stood on end, and it let out a low, warning growl.
Without wasting any words with the Hellfang Lion, the six-winged Redeemed Angel raised his greatsword and pointed it at the lion. The air around the greatsword seemed to be warped, heavy with holy pressure.
The six-winged Redeemed Angel took a step forward and the In the next instant, the angel vanished from his spot—leaving only a streak of blinding golden light rushing straight toward the Hellfang Lion.
The Hellfang Lion barely had time to react when the angel suddenly appeared in front of it. The Hellfang Lion's eyes widened in shock as the first strike of the six-winged Redeemed Angel slammed against its flank, leaving a deep, searing wound.
A second strike followed instantly, precise and merciless, aimed for the joints and muscles that allowed the beast its speed. The lion staggered, blood spraying from its wounds.
Before the Hellfang Lion could even let out a roar, the six-winged Redeemed Angel followed up with a third strike. The blade came down on the beast's head. The stinky blood splashed out and fell on the ground, making a hissing sound. Looking at the ground, small holes had been made by the jackal's blood one after another.
Zayen watched the scene in complete shock. He hadn't expected that the Hellfang Lion—something he had struggled so hard to deal with—wouldn't even be able to withstand three moves from the six-winged Redeemed Angel.
The gap in strength was so vast that it left him momentarily unable to react.

....
At this moment the six-winged Redeemed Angel stood there motionless, with the greatsword resting at his side. Not even a single drop of blood stained his armor.
After a brief pause, the six-winged Redeemed Angel slowly turned and faced Zayen once more.
Looking at the angle, Zayen, who hadn't yet recovered from his shock, was shocked until his body went numb and his long dreadlocks stood on end.
After a while Zayen steadied himself and then glanced at the system panel one last time before closing it.
"BOOM...!
But before Zayen could even say a single word, a loud explosion suddenly rang out. The ground beneath their feet shook violently, and a surge of heat rushed through the air.
Zayen's expression changed instantly.
The six-winged Redeemed Angel intently reacted at once, stepping in front of Zayem and lowering the greatsword into a guarded position.
Damn it! Something happened over there.
Zayen didn't hesitate for a moment. He immediately ordered the six-winged Redeemed Angel to follow him as he returned to the place where he had first encountered the Hellfang Lion and the other Level Three magic beasts.
