We stared at the horizon illuminated by the morning glow.
“So vast….…”
On three sides, forests and mountains stretched as far as the eyes could see. The coastline was not even in sight. I was imagining a small island, but this may be an island of a size comparable to Japan. If that is indeed the case, it will be a long way to the center of the island.
I have no idea how many days it will take.
“Master, we are capable of flying now. Why don’t we use the air?”
“That’s right. Your training is pretty much over now. From now on, we will prioritize our goal in coming here.”
When I turned around, I saw five figures spreading their wings with yellow-green light. Their hair is dyed yellow-green, and their eyes are glowing yellow. The name of their race is “Light Green Man”.
They also gained new skills. One is for gender conversion and the other is for skill boosting. In addition, they possessed angel-level abilities such as universal adaptation and high-speed flight. Perhaps this is what it meant for them to broke out of their human shells. They are now human beings who approached the higher dimension of angels.
“Ufufu, I finally got a woman’s body. Ah~, evolution is the best!”
The burly Dominique has transformed into a muscular beauty. It is impressive that he can change his gender freely. On the other hand, Leila now seemed to have a hard time keeping her plump breasts inside her armor. Even if she gets the body she longed for, there are likely to be various difficulties after that.
By the way, skill boost is a skill that literally enhances their skill. Moreover, it is excellent that it can amplify not only one’s own skills but also the skills of others. The area of effect is not very wide, but it will come in handy when the time comes.
“Are you ready? Let’s go!”
Pero, who can’t fly, is held by Freya, and Lena is ridding Liz’s dark cloud. We then soared into the sky. Even from above, the horizon continues endlessly. If we continued the journey on the ground, we might not be able to get there for a week. Fortunately, the apprentices have acquired the ability to fly.
“This is what Master is seeing huh! I feel like I can become even stronger!”
“Oi oi, Tina! Don’t break the ranks and go somewhere.”
“It’s okay to do it a little. I’m sure Liberto is happy to have a real harem.”
“……I won’t deny that.”
Liberto grinned at the sight of Leila and Dominique. Then there was a person who bumped into him.
“Whoa!? What’s with that all of a sudden, Marga!”
“You are so confident that you can make all of us happy huh.”
“Huh? What do you mean?”
“I’m just saying, but can you really make the three of us happy after we knocked Tina out?”
“Eh? What are you saying?”
Margaret, Leila and Dominique smiled at each other. It seems that the three of them have already discussed it and Liberto is the only one who does not know. I gave him a look of sympathy for a moment, and then I slowed down the overall flight speed slightly.
“I talked to Leila and Dominique and decided that Liberto should take me in as well. It’s because of you that we’re late to get married you see.”
“No, that’s at your own fault……”
“Don’t complain. Take responsibility for making us fall in love with you.”
“Take responsibility for making you fall in love…… w-whaaat!?”
Liberto looks at Dominique’s face and is so shocked that his eyes seem to pop out.
Leila is her current lover. I have guessed about Margaret too. But I didn’t expect Dominique to be among them. I am also surprised as I listened.
“Liberto is cool if you are quiet and you are actually my type. You were also the reason why I joined this party. Leila got ahead of me though, so I was wondering what to do.”
“I’m sorry Catherine. I knew but I couldn’t give in. So when Margaret confided in me about her feelings, I knew we should be happy together.”
“W-wait a minute, what about my opinion? Why didn’t you guys ask me about it?”
“““We are doing it now.”””
Liberto was sandwiched between the three of them, and was practically forced to enter into an engagement. That said, his face doesn’t seem to be opposing though. Tina was innocently delighted as she clapped for the four of them. She said she didn’t understand love, but from the looks of it, she didn’t really seem to have any feelings for Liberto.
“My apprentice got ahead of me…… how frustrating.”
“They’re expelled! I’m going to throw them away here.”
Meanwhile, black flames of jealousy are burning brightly in Erna and Liz. I hope I don’t get the burn. Sigh.
Suddenly, a shadow of an enemy appears in my field of vision. The reaction is 500 meters ahead of the direction of our travel.
“Everyone, get ready for an attack!”
Immediately after I gave the order, a breath-like heat ray passed nearby. It’s not as big as the Sacred Beast Doran, but it’s definitely a Dragon Breath.
It was a blue dragon that sat up, breaking down the trees. With a total length of nearly 40 meters, the overwhelming mass of the dragon can be felt even from a distance. It’s undeniably a high-ranking dragon. A few eggs are placed at its feet, and I immediately recognized that it is a mother.
I got careless, we seem to have inadvertently entered the territory of the dragon that has entered the child-rearing stage. As with any animal, parents can be very aggressive during the period of raising their young. Dragons are no exception.
“This is bad, here comes the second wave!”
The dragon raised its jaw, inhales and inflates its throat. It’s a preliminary move for a breath attack.
—But the next moment, the dragon’s head fell to the ground. After a thud, blood spurts from the neck of the severed dragon. It was an angel who bathed in the dragon’s blood.
“It’s time to kill you. I’ll get rid of any uncertain factor before I kill the God Tree.”
Two pairs of sparkling pure white wings. A white coat. His long golden hair swayed in the wind, reflecting the sunlight, and the gold-embellished adamantite longsword he held in his right hand glittered sharply. The blue eyes on his elegant face were staring at me.

I decided to have everyone back down for now and have just Rokiel and I talk. I wanted to know how he was able to get here.
“How did you get to this island? The angels should not be able to find it here.”
“That’s true. But you showed us where you are. Didn’t you know that you were being watched all the time?”
“That…. I see, that’s how it is huh. But why did you show your face only now? You didn’t appear in the battle between angels and humans.”
“It’s not that I didn’t show up, I was not in this world at the time. Thanks to Zazi killing the World Tree, I managed to get in as I was waiting outside. I was the only one who got in though.”
At that time?
I see. He came to this side in that moment when the barrier was broken. I regret that I was not able to protect the World Tree.
“So, after you get rid of us, you’re going to kill the God Tree.”
“If it goes as planned. Then, after that barrier disappear, the humans who infest this world will be annihilated. I will offer this world to Gohma-sama along with that thing.”
The battle between him and me began abruptly. Clashing swords, I narrowly dodged the slashes I couldn’t block. A sword technique mixed with feints sliced off my left arm, and I quickly kicked him in the stomach.
“Ugh, how dare you, a human, kick a noble like me.”
“I’m sorry. I’m not that religious, so I don’t care if you’re an angel or whatsoever.”
I caught my left arm flying in the air and quickly attached it to the severed area and healed it. That did no damage to me. The angel on the other hand got some injury from my kick.
I took out the Bull King sword from my bangle and held it in my left hand. The enemy’s swordsmanship is superior, but what about with two swords?
I faced Rokiel with rapid acceleration and crossed swords with him again.
“Dual wielding? Impudent!”
“Who said I can only use one?”
Even if one of my blows is deflected, I swung another blow without delay. Countless sword flashes inched into Rokiel.
“Freya!”
“Understood! Take this, Divine power!”
Freya appears behind Rokiel by teleportation and releases a number of spears with divine power. Three out of five pierced him but he flew straight up with an expression that looked like he had crushed a bitter worm.
“I won’t let you get away! Multiple flare zone!”
Erna’s magic creates multiple ultra-hot spheres in the space around him. Rokiel, who was scorched, screamed.
“Dark Shuriken”
A one-meter-long shuriken made of darkness is thrown by Liz. The shuriken makes a wide arc towards Rokiel.
“Something like this! Divine Slash!”
The blade of the sword emitted a dazzling light, and the shuriken was instantly cut in half. It’s a tricky technique. I can’t capture it visually with my current level. The two-fold shuriken loses its shape in front of Rokiel’s eyes and becomes a mist of darkness that envelops the surroundings.
Apparently, it was an attack that was released in anticipation of being prevented. Pero then immediately descends from directly above and delivers a powerful blow to the enemy.
“Agh!? I’m a beloved of God, how dare you hit my face!”
Rokiel jumped out of the mist. The darkness that had been scattered condensed and it became a foothold for Pero to stand on.
“You scorned me for being just a human being.”
“Kuu—, you—! It’s not supposed to be like this!”
My sword pierced his chest. Then I immediately aimed for his neck with my other sword, but it was deflected at the last moment.
Rokiel, who vomited blood, lost the grip on his sword and fell helplessly to the ground. However, he will not die from this.
I won’t feel safe until I cut off his head. Just as I was about to follow and finish him off, a seven-colored aura emanated from his body. It then repaired his wound instantly. Even his burnt skin and clothing are completely restored. On the contrary, his wings began to glow in seven colors.
“To consume Divine Qi in this way.… have I misjudged your abilities? I, the God Slayer?”
Surrounded by a seven-colored aura, Rokiel rises in front of me. The aura emitted from his body is divine, making the air tense. It was such an extraordinary pressure that a normal person would die just by being here.
“What is divine qi? Is it because of that that you have recovered?”
“As the name suggests, it is the energy of the gods. It is a supreme energy that only the gods can create, and its effect heals the wounds of all things and increases its power many times over. I think I’m fifty times stronger than I was before.”
F-fifty times more!? Don’t be ridiculous!
If an already formidable existence is strengthened 50 times, it is almost impossible to win. Finally, I understood why he had come here even if he is alone. The other angels are just a pawn. He is more than enough to take us on and kill the God tree.
Rokiel sneered at me, confident of victory.
