Chapter 52: The Angel’s New Purpose

“Uh, I, I’m not dead!”A graceful figure emerged from the white light.She extended her smooth, flawless hands, and her melodious voice seemed to imbue the entire scene with a newfound vibrancy.”Huh? My voice… what’s going on? Why has it become a girl’s voice?”

“Oh, I understand now! So that’s how it is! No wonder my voice changed!”Xue Hu, now an angelic figure, hovered in mid-air, her small wings fluttering softly behind her.She tilted her head, perusing the system manual’s description of the “Angel” class.’During character creation, there had been no option for character voices, meaning everyone’s speaking voice remained their original one.However, the ‘Angel’ class was pre-set by the system; both the character’s appearance and voice were according to predetermined settings.Regardless of their original form, everyone transformed into a uniform appearance after becoming an ‘Angel’.Furthermore, an ‘Angel’s’ skills were cast through song and incantation; without a voice, it would indeed be impossible to utilize those abilities.’

“‘Angel’ is not a combat class, which is why I wasn’t killed by the ‘Azure Dragon: Modified’; now, it can’t even inflict damage upon me.”Xue Hu propped her chin in her right hand, musing aloud.”The corresponding trade-off, however, is that I can no longer capture the Azure Dragon.Still, that’s perfectly fine; I don’t actually need to capture it myself.”‘It appears I must assist someone else in successfully capturing the Azure Dragon to complete this quest and finally end the game.Although I am currently the only living player, if I fail to complete the mission, I will still be the one to lose in the end, making Kabasiji, that ‘Heretic Ghost’, the victor!’

“Ah! Rise, warrior of the Goddess of Holy Light! May the shadow of death flee from you!”Xue Hu activated her “Resurrection” skill.Her body then began to chant involuntarily, suggesting these actions were pre-set by the system, ensuring that even a tone-deaf player could still utilize the skill.

The “Resurrection” skill could only be used on teammates who had been dead for less than a minute.At this moment, Xue Hu could only “resurrect” Hank.Since Kabasiji and Yi Ye Zhixia were not viable targets for assistance anyway, their deaths held no particular regret.As Xue Hu finished her incantation, a beam of holy light descended from the heavens, shining directly upon Hank’s “corpse.”Hank, as if reanimated, suddenly stirred to life.

“Ah! I’ll fight you to the death!”No sooner had Hank risen than he leaped up, throwing a punch at the “Azure Dragon: Modified.”This action immediately filled Xue Hu with apprehension.At this critical juncture, she could only rely on this fellow.If he impulsively charged in and got himself killed again, the “Resurrection” skill had a cooldown of a full five minutes, which would spell absolute doom!

“Be invincible! Valiant warrior! For the Goddess of Holy Light, bravely slay the enemy!”Left with no other choice, Xue Hu reluctantly cast her precious “Invincibility” skill upon Hank.Although the “Angel” class’s skills were powerful, they all required time for incantation.If Hank were to die too quickly, Xue Hu would be utterly helpless!

Upon seeing someone still daring to run wild in its territory, the “Azure Dragon: Modified” immediately flared with anger once more.It furiously flapped its wings a few times, then opened its massive maw, unleashing a torrent of dragon’s breath directly at Hank’s face.Confronted by the powerful and scorching dragon’s breath, Hank had calmed down considerably, yet a chill still ran through him.’Could it be that no sooner had I awakened than I was about to be sent back again?’

Just then, a beam of holy light descended from the heavens, once again enveloping Hank.To his astonishment, Hank found himself in an “Invincible” state.At that moment, he also noticed a voice nearby, one he had never heard before.He turned his head towards the source of the sound, only to discover an adorable little angel!

“You, who are you?”Hank stared, dumbfounded, as the little angel flew towards him.This small angel appeared to have the figure of an adult woman, yet her stature was only half that of a normal person.Essentially, she was a miniature, winged, beautiful woman.

“Listen, Hank, your invincibility won’t last long, so I’ll explain the key points to you; please listen carefully!”Xue Hu flew closer, addressing Hank with serious earnestness.”‘Azure Dragon: Modified’ possesses both Wood and Fire attributes, meaning only Water attributes can inflict counter-damage.””Gold attributes will deal normal damage, while all other attributes will be resisted.””I can provide you with healing, buffs, and invincibility from the rear, but the combat against the ‘Azure Dragon: Modified’ must be carried out by you.””‘Azure Dragon: Modified’ has significantly higher attack power than the regular Azure Dragon, but in exchange, its defense and health points are considerably lower.””Therefore, please attack as aggressively as possible; I will ensure you do not die!”

Xue Hu extended a “Trade Request” to Hank, intending to transfer all sorts of items to him.However, upon receiving the “Trade Request” prompt, Hank was instantly stunned.He incredulously lifted his head, his eyes wide, and uttered, “Xue Hu?”
