The chaotic sound of the wind occupied her hearing, and the strong airflow forcefully poured into her ears, mouth, and even eyes, as if she was submerged in the deep sea. Darkness surrounded her. Only the sensation of her body's response to gravity reminded Aya that her body was freely falling in an irregular rotation.

Struggling to stabilize her body after releasing the breath of the dragon, Aya's scales resisted the high-altitude airflow, allowing her to regain her composure. She managed to maintain a stable posture with her limbs spread out, resembling a parachutist in freefall.

However, Aya's mind was still in a state of confusion. What the hell is going on? Wasn't I just in a hotel? How did I suddenly end up in the sky after throwing a punch?

Instinctively, she turned her head to look up at the sky, and the black aerial behemoth was still visible to the naked eye. Considering the distance she was falling, that thing must be at least a few hundred meters long. Aya's dragon body was only fifteen meters long, so what is that monster up there?

But at this point, even though she was just a mere Aya, she realized that she had just fallen out of that thing. Wow, so Yuan's "on the way" really meant "on the way"! I thought we had stopped somewhere to rest for the night!

Speaking of which, humans are truly amazing. Unlike dragons, who are born with the ability to fly freely, these weak beings born on land can achieve such a feat, allowing a colossal creature of hundreds of meters to ascend to such a high sky. I have to admit their intelligence.

Aya pinched her chin, expressing her admiration with a few words... Until now, she realized that something seemed off.

Speaking of flying freely... Isn't it a bit troublesome that I can't transform back into my dragon body and I don't have any magic power? She could still see dense clouds below her as she fell, indicating the altitude of the airship. Falling to the sea below from this height, even with her body's dragon strength, would be a dead end.

Not to mention **, even landing safely on the sea would likely result in a complete failure.

So how do I survive this almost certain death situation?

Just then, Aya's field of vision suddenly brightened.

Using rational analysis, it was currently nighttime, and the clouds were below her, so it couldn't be sunlight or lightning.

Therefore, it must be... never mind, let's just turn around and see.

A golden-haired girl with wings radiating holy light and fluttering white feathers was diving towards Aya. Huh? This familiar color... no, the special effects of holy light. Besides the chuunibyou little Angel, who else could it be?

Why this little Angel was here at this moment didn't matter. What mattered was that she was saved!

Aya was deeply moved and thought, from now on, little Angel, we'll be good buddies... no, good sisters... no, ahem! Anyway, your problems will be my problems. If Tiran dares to bully you again, I will support you with all my strength in resisting!

Swoosh—

Just as Aya felt relieved, reality once again revealed its cruel side. A streak of golden light passed dangerously close to Aya's cheek, leaving a shallow bloodstain on her face, easily breaking through her scales.

"Hey, hey! What are you doing, Phoebe?"

In response, dozens of glowing golden portals appeared in the sky above, and dozens of golden swords, spears, and halberds slowly extended from them, instantly pressing down heavily on Aya.

This is not right, not right at all! How is it possible that little Angel appeared here to save me? If you look closely, although they have identical appearances, the Angel girl above, with her golden eyes, doesn't show the slightest hint of familiar emotions.

If we have to describe it, it would be more like the temperament of a newly arrived little Angel, but the coldness far surpasses that. If the little Angel back then was like the first snow, now she is completely like an eternal frozen rock on the ice sheet.

Understanding this, Aya suddenly felt a bit desperate. Looking back, when she was possessed by a demonic species at that time, which means the seal was lifted, but the whereabouts of the other three fiery Angels' spirits are still unknown.

But even if she understood it at this moment, it would be too late, or you could say it was a dead end from the beginning.

A few golden flashes passed by her body, exploding in the clouds below.

Little Angel... no, it should be the spirit of Ural, the Angel controlled by the Book of Original Sin, did not continue to dive and chase downward, but instead opened her right hand to control Angel's Arsenal to attack Aya.

"It didn't hit... and you're still resisting," Ural stared at Aya, who was still free-falling downward, and said with some surprise.

"Elder... please... don't harm Elder Aya."

A girl's voice echoed in Ural's mind.

"Although I am also unwilling, I am powerless under the suppression of the Book of Original Sin. Now, maintaining your conscious existence is all I can do."

Ural sighed. In order to seal the demonic species, she bound her soul to the Book of Original Sin. She didn't expect to be manipulated by others after a long time. A majestic Angel Leader was actually dominated by a human sinner.

At this moment, Ural couldn't help but admire her junior. As a new generation of fiery Angels, the gap between them was self-evident. But even in a situation where her actions were forcibly suppressed, she could still influence her body's movements with her will, which was truly rare.

From such a distance, even if the attack only deviated by a little, it would be enough to avoid Aya.

However... it still didn't matter. Long-range attacks were ineffective, so getting closer would be better.

With a flap of her wings, Ural, who was originally hovering, directly broke through the sound barrier in place and rapidly closed the distance between her and Aya within a milky cone-shaped cloud.

"Going to die, going to die, going to die! I really didn't want to use it..."

Aya gritted her teeth and activated the secondary contract that fortunately did not end with the main contract in her Sea of Spirits with the little spirit power remaining.

Although it seemed a bit embarrassing to call for help like this, it was different from not being able to repay the debt to Li at that time. If she didn't come to help her now, it would be all over!

At this point, Aya had basically given up the hope of escaping on her own. No matter what Yuan intended to do to her, she just hoped to delay it until her unreliable parents arrived.

Although it was just a one-time item, the contract effect left by the Holy Rank Golden Dragon was still reliable. Almost at the same time it was activated, Aya heard the familiar but unreliable voice of her mother in her mind.

"Hmm... who is it?"

"Other than our precious son, who else can contact you through this contract?"

"Son?" The other end of the contract actually pondered for a moment, "Um... husband, did we have another son? It's not a fraud, right? Over there, if you say he is my son, tell me his full name."

"Stop joking around... wait, what's the matter with saving me, son?"

"Literal meaning! I am currently sealed by someone and being chased by a Holy Rank Angel. It's about to... cough cough cough!"

Aya was speechless, that's why she didn't want to use this thing.

"Joking aside... wait a moment, son, what do you mean by saving your life?"

"Literal meaning! I am currently sealed by someone and being chased by a Holy Rank Angel. It's about to... cough cough cough!"

Before the words could be finished, Ural had caught up with Aya. His right hand tightly gripped Aya's neck, halting her downward momentum.

"Fayoko...?"

If Princess-sama were here, she would probably mock Fayoko, saying, "Fayoko, I never thought that you, with your delicate appearance, would betray the revolution as well." But Aya, being choked, had no time for such leisurely thoughts.

"I'm sorry, Miss Aya. Please abandon any thoughts of running away and come back with me."

Why are you calling me that too?

Unable to utter a word, Aya could only roll her eyes in disdain. Since she had already called for her mother's help and lost face, there should be no problem with putting on a brave face now.

"Um, this is really dangerous... Husband, your son says he's going to die."

"What? If he's about to die, why is he still chatting with us? Hurry and escape!"

Meow meow meow?! This is a big problem. I need to panic.

"In any case, this is how it is, son. Good luck."

Hey! Am I really your biological child? When you abandoned me and ran away, I thought it was a joke when you said I was found in a garbage dump. But now I'm starting to doubt it!

But compared to those irrelevant issues, what should I do in this situation? Should I really let this guy capture me and take me back?

Damn it, I don't want to admit defeat! My parents are unreliable, so I can only rely on myself. Although the Holy Rank little Angel is in front of me, my goal is not to defeat her, but just to escape.

Enduring the pain of lack of oxygen, Aya carefully observed her surroundings, trying to find a glimmer of opportunity.

Because of the free fall just now, the altitude has already dropped significantly. They have reached a height where the clouds gather. However, the weather in the sky tonight seems unusually severe. A mass of restless thunderclouds is approaching from not far away.

In an instant of lightning and thunder, Ural's attention was distracted for a trivial moment.

I don't know if it will work, but there's no choice but to give it a try now. With this thought in mind, Aya grabbed Ural's right hand that was choking her and swiftly kicked sideways, hitting Ural's face with the powerful force of a Dragon, accompanied by the power of her scales.

Although it feels unfair to kick a small Angel with her own body, Aya can't afford to care about that right now.

Unfortunately, even though she bet on the power of the small Angel's face, it doesn't seem to be very effective. It feels like Aya kicked something indestructible, without any reaction.

Embarrassed under Ural's cold gaze, Aya awkwardly put her leg down and coughed. "Um... does your face hurt? Should I massage it for you?"

"Aya-senpai... even if I was forced to do this, I won't be happy about being kicked in the face."

"I'm sorry, I'll be more careful next time... huh?!"

Aya instinctively apologized, but then realized with surprise, "Fayoko?!"

It was a familiar look, no mistake about it. Could it be that the kick just now had a similar effect to "hitting the TV to fix it" and corrected Fayoko's state?

"I don't know what happened, but Ural-senpai's suppression on me seems to have suddenly weakened. However, I can be suppressed again at any time. So... I'm sorry, Aya-senpai."

I'm sorry?

Aya still hadn't understood what the little Angel meant, and the little Angel had already grabbed him and forcefully thrown him downwards.

"Hoo..."

Confirming that Aya had disappeared into the clouds, the little Angel also felt a wave of dizziness. forcibly regaining control of her body had put quite a strain on her soul power.

Feeling the loss of control over her body again, little Angel did not panic too much.

After all, there was still one thing she could do before that.
