Everything came back to me! The release of a huge amount of memories made me recall all the previous events - when facing the God of Light Beluto, I was controlled by him...
"Where's Adrian?"
Wait! As I was looking around for Adrian, I realized I had no abnormal movements at all! Even if my soul was fortunately freed from the God of Light's control, my body should still be under his grip, right?
I tried kicking my legs and stretching my arms, and there were no obstacles at all, everything was normal!
However, I did notice something - my entire body was enveloped in a water element layer, it seemed this water layer had shielded me from the God of Light's control, allowing me to regain my freedom.
"Quick, look at Feliciana's wings!"
Suddenly Vivianne's voice came from below. Following the sound, I saw Mike, Judith and the others gathering together, hiding in a light sphere and looking towards me. They seemed to be striving to protect something.
That was my 'Light Sanctuary', wasn't it?
I remembered Judith had prepared many such magic scroll arrays before, and they've been put into use now.
But now was not the time to focus on these. With everyone's constant reminders, I finally noticed that the six wings behind me had completely changed into another color.
"These are my wings?"
I could hardly believe my eyes - it was the rumored blue color! The same shade of blue as my hair color.
Of course, this change didn't just mean a color change. I could feel the water elements in the surrounding environment becoming extremely active, as if I could easily control them. The water elements replaced the light elements and flowed abundantly into my body, even overflowing to cover my entire body surface - that water layer came from this.
It seems Adrian was right, in this state I could really escape the God of Light's control, and this time it was achieved while my mind was clear!
But where were the others?
It wasn't until I landed beside them that I realized everyone was actually protecting Adrian. I saw his eyes tightly closed, while Ron's hand was emitting a dazzling white light, seemingly operating some magic on Adrian's head.
"What happened? What's going on with Adrian..."
"Don't disturb them first! This is an advanced spiritual magic that can communicate with the soul. Adrian privately asked Ron to do this in order to help free you from Beluto's control, and it seems he has succeeded!"
Judith explained from the side. The effect of the previous "Light Sanctuary" coincidentally ended at the same time, and she quickly took a new scroll from Vivianne and immediately unrolled it.
As an angel, I was of course aware of the magic Ron was using - it was "Soul Guidance". This is an intermediate light magic, but of course high-level for humans. However, generally no one is willing to use it because it is quite dangerous - the soul may never return.
But this was not the time to nitpick about these things. Judith had just finished speaking when a dazzling ray of light fell from above. Fortunately, the buffs were applied in time, otherwise all of us would have suffered.
The attack did not end there. Countless long swords then appeared in the air around us and shot towards us rapidly, but were blocked by Mike's heavily armored body.
"Have you all been resisting like this the whole time?"
Seeing Mike's battered armor full of wounds, I asked in surprise. These tactics were basically seen when facing Cyra before, but just defending without attacking would be quite strenuous.
"No choice, ever since Beluto noticed the abnormal actions on this side, our pressure suddenly increased tremendously. Fortunately, we were well-prepared!"
Vivianne couldn't help but complain. Among everyone, she was the most idle, so she could only lend a hand from the sidelines.
In theory, with the God of Light present, we should not have been able to use any light magic at all. But fortunately, when the opponent's attention was focused on my soul, we managed to successfully cast the spells. Hence the God of Light had been trying to attack Adrian's main body, but fortunately failed.
"Alright!"
Ron raised his sleeve to wipe the sweat away, and Adrian lying on the ground opened his eyes and "swoosh" got up from the ground.
"Feliciana, are you okay?"
My blue wings behind startled him briefly, but he quickly recovered and asked me.
"Of course I'm fine, but you actually used such a dangerous magic, what if it failed..."
I really didn't want him to act so recklessly. Even if everything could ultimately be redone, I still didn't wish for that. Moreover, thinking of those experiences in my mental world, I felt somewhat embarrassed to face him.
"Actually, I mainly decided to do this after reading the records of the water angel Gisphrael and realizing your situation was quite similar. You know, if the water angel couldn't resist the God of Light's control back then, the trial would have been meaningless."
Adrian calmly explained. It seemed he had anticipated that I might not be able to escape being controlled.
"I just didn't expect it to succeed in one try..."
Wait! In my mental world, I was in a male state. Did he discover that?
No! He must have discovered it, but the question is whether he thought those experiences were real or not?
I suddenly felt a bit nervous. But looking at his demeanor, he didn't seem to show any abnormal attitude, so I secretly heaved a sigh of relief. After all, in this world my identity is an angel, and angels have no parents! How could he possibly think I was transported here?
"Hey, you two, don't waste time chatting over there. Can't you see I can barely hold on anymore?"
Mike, constantly "intercepting swords" from the side, couldn't stand it anymore and yelled at us loudly.
"My armor is about to break!"
"Hehe! If you don't think of a solution soon, I'll run out of scrolls too!"
Judith joined in the fray.
"Sorry!"
I quickly apologized, taking out a long sword from my storage space. Suddenly I remembered an important thing.
Since my wings had turned blue and my perception of water elements greatly increased, could I finally complete that long-awaited move?
I had actually tried doing this for a long time, but was limited by lack of ability. Moreover, I had already mastered the production method, and now all the conditions were ready...
No sooner thought than done! I gathered all the water elements in the surrounding air in my palms, then shaped it according to Nicola's teaching. Soon, a long sword identical to Condensation Sword was hovering in my hands.
"That sword of yours is not..."
Adrian was astonished, never expecting that so soon after my wings turned blue, I would master the ability to create weapons out of thin air.
What should I name it? Water Condensation Sword? That sounded too plain, almost like shamelessly copying. So I changed one of the words.
"Let's just call it the 'Water Abyss Sword'!"
The Water Abyss Sword was of course a different color from Nicola's Condensation Sword - it was formed from the materialization of water elements, the same color as my current wings. And it was said to have somewhat different functions from the Condensation Sword, supposedly... dehydration?
But how to dehydrate the God of Light? Looking at the boss above without a physical form, I suddenly felt a bit embarrassed - wasn't this just nonsense?
"Unfortunately, I can only make this one for now..."
It seemed with my current abilities, producing the Water Abyss Sword was very straining. I felt a slight dizziness, similar to when Nicola forcefully created the second Condensation Sword, but fortunately there were no major issues.
"It's okay, don't rush it, take it one step at a time!"
Adrian nodded, seeing I was fine, and didn't say anything more. He then instructed Judith,
"Let's proceed with the second phase plan!"
"There's a second phase plan?"
Aside from Judith, it seemed all the others present didn't know about this so-called second phase plan, looking at them in unison.
"The second phase plan is to switch from defense to offense, launching an attack on Beluto. Otherwise, how can we defeat him..."
Adrian spread his hands in a simple explanation.
"But we can't even hit him at all, and without a physical form, how do we attack?"
Vivianne seemed puzzled, and of course everyone including me did not understand. This was indeed a very serious problem. Even in the past successful challenge records, they only defeated Beluto after materializing him. But unfortunately, we had no idea how to materialize Beluto.
"Hehe, how could we not have a trump card when challenging the God of Light!"
However, it was Judith speaking. She took out an exceptionally large scroll from her ring and unrolled it on the ground.
"This doesn't seem to be the 'Light Sanctuary', does it?"
Although it was obvious this was not the kind of magic array used to store spells, the array patterns before me did look somewhat familiar, especially those etchings.
"Do you remember the materialization array Judith demonstrated in the first round when you came?"
Adrian whispered the spoiler to me.
"Oh, absorbing light elements to materialize into a cup?"
Of course others didn't remember, but I was very clear about it. No need for further explanation from him, I instantly understood when he mentioned it.
"That's right, absorbing..."
Essentially, the current God of Light is an energy form, with light elements as the medium. If we absorb a large amount of light elements using this array, forcibly converting them into physical form, wouldn't that be an special subjugation method?
