And he himself is being rapidly decomposed.

His clothes, his skin, his flesh...

However, it was at this moment that the Holy Son suddenly appeared on the path of the Saint.

His properties are exceptionally strong, shielding him from the effects of the storm.

The sword pierced Zovin's body slightly, and then the Holy Son embraced Zovin's bloodied body, once again activating the Path of the Saint, and rushed out of the storm.

However, the storm behind them was also rapidly expanding.

Isabella had no choice but to retreat quickly, faced with this terrible storm.

Only Rhine, with the air angels flying beside him, reduced the raging storm to a whirlwind.

His priest's robes fluttered in the wind, but his eyes remained remarkably calm, for he knew he would win!

The Holy Will requires him to take the lead, and there cannot be too many powerful forces in the outside world. In other words, the Golden Seeds cannot directly participate in the Holy Will.

This is why neither Gilliman, Gotthard, nor any of the other golden seedlings came.

In addition, there is the need to deal with an entity that is an enemy of God or something that is detrimental to God.

It's usually a powerful demon or something similar.

As the sacred wish is initiated and the most crucial moment arrives, this being will appear.

He didn't know who the enemy of the Holy Wish was at first, but the final causal spread in the Aro Realm made him directly confirm Nemus.

His gaze flickered slightly, and with a flick of his hand, one ball of light shot out and jumped into another.

The sphere of light seemed to be scanning something, and then it seemed to lock onto something.

And so, after the two orbs of light merged, a new life was born.

This new life is colorless, yet it seems as if it is entirely colored.

It resembles a mosaic of countless snowflakes, yet it also seems to exist as a unified whole.

Like a gentle angel, he also has two pairs of wings.

However, its main body is not an eyeball, but a strange fetus with a halo above its head.

(From The Binding of Isaac - Dogma)

His appearance immediately caused changes in the surrounding matter, and the originally raging storm seemed to subside quickly.

“An etheric angel!” Nemus recognized the source of this life form immediately.

The general layout of this world consists of the etheric plane and the astral plane as intermediate planes, outside the material plane.

Special spaces like the divine realm and the abyss are mostly located near the astral plane, while the four elemental planes of earth, wind, water, and fire surround the etheric layer.

The etheric layer itself has a central meaning.

It is the largest dimensional portal, and also the place in alchemy where one prays to stay forever.

Some alchemists even believe that the etheric layer is the origin of the world.

The world began to differentiate from this point onward, first by earth, wind, water, and fire, followed by the celestial realm and various material planes.

If all matter could be unified and returned to ether, then everything could return to its origin.

By mastering the secrets of ether, one can master the cauldron of omnipotence and forge the Philosopher's Stone.

However, throughout history, many people have visited the etheric layer and seen etheric matter, but none have ever stayed in the etheric layer for long.

Once outside the etheric layer, the etheric substance rapidly differentiates.

Furthermore, due to the characteristics of the etheric channel, those who enter will be quickly transported to other material planes, elemental planes, or astral planes along the flow of the etheric layer.

Nemus squinted at the ethereal angel.

This thing is the nemesis of matter; it can break down all matter, and naturally it can also suppress all matter.

The air angel, which had been flying proudly beside Rhine, wilted the moment the etheric angel appeared.

Its two pairs of wings were folded back, and its eyes stopped glaring around. It followed the etheric angel obediently.

It's no wonder that alchemists believed that ether was the primary of the so-called five fundamental elements.

The world-destroying storm unleashed by the World-Devouring Whale was quickly downgraded before the Etheric Angels, transforming from a storm capable of destroying everything into a gentle breeze.

Upon seeing this, Isabella quickly approached and then instantly cast a divine spell, the white light merging into Zovin's body to heal him.

Nems couldn't help but marvel at how powerful Rhine truly was, beyond reason.

The reason he is so strong is the result of the superposition of three lifetimes, his own efforts, and a combination of miracles.

And what about Rhine?

He was merely a holy son who failed to truly succeed; yet, having mastered the divine art of shaping sacred life, he was no ordinary steel being.

He took this divine art to its extreme.

It can be said that Rhine himself had already grasped the code of life.

Surrounded by two angels, Rhine stood still and neutralized Nemus's attack.

However, while they are capable of protecting themselves, defeating the current Nems is still a long way off.

Although the etheric angel is powerful, the nature of ether dictates that its existence will not be long.

So the next moment, a ball of light beside Rhine began to evolve once again.

This time, however, no life was born within the ball of light. Instead, it quickly approached Rhine and attached itself to her body.

Then Rhine began to radiate light from the inside out.

A pair of wings behind it spread slightly, followed by a second pair.

Forbidden Divine Art: Sacred Life Shaping - Modified - Angelization!

Most priests fear melee combat, but true geniuses are not.

Because once they reach a certain level, they will inevitably be able to compensate for their weaknesses in close combat through magic.

A longsword engulfed in flames appeared in Rhine's hand.

At this moment, Rhine truly has the feel of an angel descending to earth!

"Hahaha, angel!" Nemus laughed inexplicably as he looked at Rhine's change.

Ping raised his sword, pointing it at Rhine, his killing intent already boiling.

There are no more words; now all that remains is a fight to the death!

With a flap of his wings, Rhine instantly covered the distance and appeared in front of Nemus.

Rhine's swordsmanship was mediocre, and of course, in this situation, he didn't need swordsmanship.

After becoming an angel, Rhine's physical attributes increased dramatically, rivaling those of individuals with similarly high life values.

Furthermore, it possesses additional traits such as 'holy', 'flight', and 'celestial life'. Although these traits have not yet formed true characteristics, they are stronger than many characteristics in some aspects.

The combined characteristics of these traits are what we call "angel".

With equal numbers, three humans might not be able to fight an angel.

The key lies in the unique characteristic of celestial beings.

This trait gives angels an unusual life structure and an exceptionally pure body.

This purity allows angels to naturally possess higher 'authority'.

Although not as powerful as the Air Angel, which has exclusive access to elements like airflow and wind.

However, when faced with various things, their level of approachability differs from that of ordinary people.

And that is the purpose of Rhine Angelization.

After becoming an angel, the various elements became like the most loyal soldiers; as long as he had a single thought, the spell would take shape.

Therefore, the sword in his hand does not need to be used for actual physical attacks, but rather as a medium for casting spells.

With a single swing of the sword, flames swept across the land.

As he swung his flaming longsword, a large amount of scorching flames enveloped Nemus, but in the next instant, a surge of cold air burst forth from the Ice Soul, slicing through all the flames.

However, just as the chill was about to touch Rhine, the wings of the ethereal angel surrounding him fluttered slightly, and the originally sharp chill instantly dissipated.

The ice sword in Nemus's hand also dissipated rapidly at this moment, and the water element within it was restless and could no longer form ice.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Holy Son charged toward Nemus.

Compared to others, he has the highest talent, but his development time is too short, so his strength is the weakest.

Most of his strength comes from his powerful vitality and the characteristics of the Nadatmenli family.

In this situation, the feature can only be effective temporarily.

Furthermore, Nemus has already gained a deep understanding of the 'Path of the Saint'. If you use special abilities against Nemus, you could easily be countered by a single move from Nemus.

At least Zovin can rely on the accumulation of the Soul of History to unleash powerful strength, which is something Nemus needs to deal with seriously.

And what about him?

The Holy Son also asked himself this question.

He was seen as the hope of the Dartmentley family, the next Saint-Dartmentley.

However, he could not possibly defeat Nemes alone and seize the position of the protagonist in history.

Even during the siege, he could only rescue Zovin.

The complex emotions of resentment, anger, and hatred within him made him realize for the first time just how complicated he truly was.

He used to be pure and simple; even after spending more than ten years in a petri dish, he would not feel any boredom or other emotions.

However, as he entered this world, he became confused about his place and couldn't figure out what he really was.

I'm torn between whether I'm a tree, an animal, or a human.

Although he practiced swordsmanship and activated his stats, he felt that he had become weaker.

Nevertheless, the Holy Son still launched a serious attack on Nemus.

"Respond to me, the me of the past!" the Holy Son thought, then emptied his mind, allowing himself to return to the state of being in the cocoon.

Various emotions and thoughts were rapidly passing through the Holy Son's mind.

Under pressure, the Holy Son begins to grow.

His aura returned to calm, and strands of gold spread from his body. Then, what was originally a simple charge suddenly took on a hint of spatial energy.

Upon closer inspection, one can see that the footwork and some of the sword techniques used by the Holy Son are already close to those of the Polaris Sword.

At the same time, his breathing was also changing, and the frequency gradually became consistent with Nems's.

There were also traces of gold on his body that were rapidly forming inscriptions and being engraved on his body.

When Nemus came to Tail Town from the backfin village, he used the fact that he had awakened his saintly nature to justify his power.

Both Gilliman and Gotthard, these golden boys, believed this excuse.

This is not because they are foolish, but because the awakening of the saintly essence is truly capable of doing these things.

Once awakened, it's not just the characteristics inherited from the bloodline of saints that are unique; the most special thing is the awakened person's learning ability.

It is said that saints can learn various skills from scratch in a short period of time.

Even without renowned teachers or relevant materials.

When a saint awakens to their true nature, things aren't so exaggerated.

He still needs instruction and resources; for example, everyone present has become a learning object for the Holy Son.

Furthermore, he can also sense information from his bloodline and acquire some knowledge of the ancestral society.

The golden runes on his body were some extraordinary skills he had acquired from Saint Dartmenley.

Polaris, Radiant Light!

The blade transformed into a ball of light the instant it was thrust out.
