章節 122: The Burning Sky

Sayuri and Dubhán learned the hard way that archangels were superior to them in speed and stamina. Uriel and Gabriel continuously flew ahead, ensuring the area was safe while the two desperately tried to catch up. It didn't help that they had to conserve their energy. The group had merely reached an altitude slightly exceeding the tallest skyscrapers. The world below them had faded to colorful blobs. As they drew nearer to the Megalopolis again, the colors changed to red and grey, as the cities were still smoldering.
