CHAPTER 591: DEATH REVERSAL!

"Damn it!" The Bonefiend Maiden’s face darkened, her expression turning grim.

Even deep in her eyes, a flicker of fear and unease surfaced.

Her greatest trump card—the Imperfect 16-Tier, the Bone Sovereign—was supposed to be her ultimate weapon. But now?

The enemy had actually produced a real, bona fide 16-Tier being.

She knew exactly what that meant.

But before anyone could react, a blinding, terrifying burst of holy light suddenly tore through the sky not far away.

Then—just like that—the Gate of Heaven appeared.

And from within it, an angel descended, cloaked in overwhelming Light Magic energy.

But what really made everyone’s blood run cold—

Was that her aura... her Tier presence...

It was on par with Elira’s?!

"My Lord, be careful! I think she’s a 16-Tier too..." Elira’s face tightened. In a flash, she moved to intercept the mysterious figure, placing herself between the newcomer and the others.

Her eyes turned icy.

"Who are you?"

"Who am I?" The angel let out a low, mocking laugh, completely ignoring Elira.

Instead, her gaze shifted—locking onto Andona. Her eyes narrowed, glinting with interest. "Well, well... this is interesting. You’re wielding both Light and Death magic? A hybrid Angel?"

"Looks like someone hit the genetic jackpot."

"But now that you’ve seen me... shouldn’t you be kneeling already? Hm?"

BOOM!

As her words dropped, a terrifying, sky-shaking aura exploded from her body.

And at that moment, Andona’s expression began to shift—her eyes clouding over, her body subtly trembling. It was like her mind was being pulled, manipulated by that overwhelming force.

"Andona!" Ethan’s face changed. He rushed forward and grabbed her arm.

That snapped her out of it. "My Lord... that power... it’s strange. It’s like it’s reaching into my mind. If she wanted to... she could take control of my body. Just like that."

"What?!" Ethan’s face went pale, a chill running down his spine.

He had a soul contract with Andona. That kind of bond should’ve made her immune to outside control. And yet this angel could override it?

What the hell kind of power was that?

Was there really something out there that could surpass a soul contract?

No way... right?

His jaw clenched. "Elira. She’s yours."

"Yes, My Lord." Elira nodded sharply, then launched herself at the angel without hesitation.

The angel smirked. "Impressive. You actually broke free of my Holy Radiance. Not bad. You’ve got potential."

"But that just means I need to kill you now."

She raised her hand, lifting a gleaming Angelic Sword, her voice cold and absolute.

"The Bone Sovereign. Bonefiend Maiden. Lord Holy Fox has given the order—kill them. Then return and face your punishment."

The moment those words landed, both the Bonefiend Maiden and the Bone Sovereign stiffened.

Their expressions twisted, but neither dared to argue.

They both nodded quickly.

"Yes."

"Yes, ma’am..."

Buzz!

At that moment, the blinding Light Magic surrounding the mysterious figure finally began to fade. And from within the glow, a strikingly handsome young man stepped out.

His entire body radiated a pure, divine Angelic light.

Behind him, six pairs—twelve golden wings—unfurled and beat slowly. With every flap, a wave of raw, violent power rippled outward, shaking the air itself. The pressure was suffocating.

There was no doubt about it—

This was the power of a true 16-Tier being.

Just like Elira.

And with his arrival, the tide of battle shifted once again.

Elira squared off against him one-on-one.

Andona, meanwhile, took Elira’s previous position, joining Ataneya in the brutal clash against the Imperfect 16-Tier hero—The Bone Sovereign.

The rest of the Emerald Castle heroes were still locked in combat with their respective opponents, but...

If things kept going like this, it didn’t take a genius to see where it was headed.

They were going to lose.

"Damn it... what the hell are we supposed to do now?" Ethan’s face darkened, frustration boiling in his chest.

From what he could tell, unless he somehow managed to create another 16-Tier hero out of thin air...

Emerald Castle didn’t stand a chance.

But come on—this was a 16-Tier we’re talking about!

It’s not like you could just pluck one off the side of the road like a wildflower or a rotten potato.

It was impossible.

Totally unrealistic.

So he had to come up with something else. Fast.

And just then, Andona’s voice rang in his ears.

"My Lord... I think I can interfere with his Light Magic."

Ethan froze, stunned. "What do you mean? Are you saying you can absorb his power?"

He knew exactly who she meant—

That mysterious, terrifying 16-Tier Angel.

But... was that even possible?

Andona was a 15-Tier SSS-rank Crimson Ultimate hero. Could she really absorb the power of a 16-Tier?

Was this for real?

It sounded insane.

"Not absorb," Andona corrected, shaking her head. "It’s more like... I can do what he did to me. I can influence him. Not as strongly, of course—but maybe just enough. This might be our only shot."

"That’s all I need to hear," Ethan said, nodding sharply.

Then he sent a mental message to Elira, Ataneya, and Andona.

"Elira. Ataneya. Andona. Get ready."

"Give it everything you’ve got."

Elira and Ataneya both paused for a split second, surprised—but they didn’t question it. Silently, they began preparing their strongest attacks.

Then—

"Andona! Now!"

Ethan’s roar cut through the chaos.

Andona vanished in a flash, reappearing right in front of the 16-Tier Angel. She unleashed the full force of her Angel King power.

A blinding burst of holy light exploded outward, engulfing the battlefield and locking the enemy in place within its merciless radiance.

In that instant—

The 16-Tier Angel’s body froze. His pupils shrank, his face twisting in shock and disbelief.

He tried to break free—

But it was already too late.

BOOM!

BOOM!

In the blink of an eye, Elira and Ataneya’s combined assault slammed down like a divine hammer.

"Umbral Detonation!"

"Soul of the Abyss!"

"Foxfire Burst!"

"Shadowfang Strike!"

A storm of devastating attacks rained down from above, obliterating everything in their path. The Angel’s body was instantly torn apart, melting under the sheer force of the onslaught.

But just as the dust began to settle, a flicker of Light Magic surged again.

In the center of the blast zone, a faint silhouette began to reform.

Ethan’s eyes widened in horror.

"Shit—he’s resurrecting!"

But before the rebirth could complete—

Andona struck.

She raised her Angelic Sword high, then hurled it straight at the fading shadow.

"Radiant Verdict—Death Reversal!"

In a flash, her power pierced the soul, severing the resurrection process entirely.

And then—without hesitation—she rushed forward.

Her body glowed with divine fury as she reached out and began absorbing the scattered soul energy of the fallen 16-Tier Angel.

Devouring it.

Consuming it.

Taking it for herself.
