Inside the Acropolis, a lone humanoid figure stood surrounded by white . A woman with long black hair that reached her hips was waiting . Her eyes black, yet her face shined with a white radiance . She had a white dress that hid even her feet . Her face pure without any single deformities . Her rosy lips and cheeks added to her charm . If anyone were to see her, they would think she's an angel . Not because of her transcending beauty, but because of the pair of pristine black wings on her back .

The wings were spread out as if to intimidate people, yet it served the opposite purpose . Anyone who saw the wings would undoubtedly approach the woman . Ed and the others couldn't help but admire her while walking . In addition to her beauty, even the air around he felt majestic .

Not long after, the woman noticed Ed and his companions and spoke . "Thee who is't cameth to dare me, prepareth yourselves!" in a heartbeat, the majestic air disappeared because of the way she spoke . Not only were her words weird to listen to, but even her actions while speaking was absurd . She waved her hands around and put them up every time she hit a high note . Ed and his teammates stood there dumbfounded . The original high expectations they had for her was gone .

"Is something wrong with her Suu?" Suika looked at Ed in a worried way . "I hope not..." Ed didn't want to fight a mentally retarded angel . He met enough unique beings to last him a lifetime .

"Why do you speak this way?" Ed couldn't hold it in and asked her .

"What doe-doth thee mean?" The angel woman wasn't dropping her act . It was apparent that she was faking this, as even she struggled to speak .

"Stop speaking that way, it's weird," Ed told her bluntly .

"How dareth thee? The way I speaketh is p'rfect!" Not wanting to believe Ed, she pointed her finger at him and shouted .



'No, it's really weird...' Ed thought to himself while a wry smile forcefully formed on his face .

"Is it really weird?" right after Ed finished his thought; the angel woman spoke to him . Ed was shocked but still answered her . "Yes . "

"Then I'll stop . I thought it made me sound cool . " Everyone couldn't help but think it was a stupid reason .

"Well then, Mr . Edward . I'm guessing you'd like to move on to the next floor . " She spoke to Ed while smiling .

"I don't remember telling you my name . " immediately, Ed noticed something was wrong and confronted her . The smile on her face growing bigger, she spoke .

"It is simple for me to read someone's mind . " Her answer let Ed know that the battle wasn't going to be an easy one . But at the same time, he knew that her power would be useful . Plus, her character wasn't bad so he attempted to ask her something .

"Only if I lose . There is no benefit for me to follow someone weak . " Before Ed could speak, the angel already read his mind . She gave him her condition for joining him .

"That can be arranged!" everyone present switched to battle mode . Their enemy is a Heavenly Establishment level 8 Angel . Not exactly an opponent they can take it easy on .



The angel shook her wings a couple of times, and hundreds of feathers were removed . Instead of falling to the ground, they floated as if caught by something . The hundred or so feathers targeted Ed and his companions . Their speed was impressive, as they could keep up with the high-speed movements of everyone . Agumon, being in his rookie form, was almost caught and had no choice but to digivolve . He turned into MetalGreymon and blocked the feathers with his metal arm . Similarly, Ed and the others handled the feathers in their own way .

"Oh, then how about this . " Sounding impressed, the angel flung her wings for a bit and disappeared from her position . She didn't teleport, but her high speed didn't allow anyone to be able to follow her . Except for Ed . Ed intercepted her while she was still moving .

"Oh my, could it be that you can also read minds?" the angel stopped Ed's slash by one of her wings and attacked him with the other .

"Something like that . " Ed dodged to the back . He used his Observation Haki and Ryuusui Seikkuken . Predicting the movement patterns of the angel this way was mere child's play .

Now only Ed and the angel fought . The others noticed Ed's intentions and stood-by . Even if they tried to do something, they wouldn't help much . It was a better idea to wait for a chance to finish things up . Unfortunately for Ed, the angel's abilities were very high . Even with his skills, he was still getting injured from time to time . Thankfully, his natural healing abilities could keep up with the injuries . The angel was getting restless as well . She was using her full physical ability, yet only managed to lightly injure him .

"Take this!" She flew back, and a circular portal appeared above her . "Holy Smite . " A blinding light beam left the portal and targeted Ed and those behind him . The attack was a large scale attack that managed to penetrate the floor down to the mountain's ground In fact, the rock wall that surrounded the Acropolis was melted by the attack . Luckily, Ed, Sieg, and Rakiou managed to save everyone . Ed and Sieg teleported everyone to safety . While Raikou carried Suika and Gobuta in a high-speed escape using his lightning clad .

"I can use more of them . " The angel went through the same procedure, but this time two portals appeared . Before Ed could teleport everyone, he noticed Raikou and Gobuta running towards the beams . Gobuta's sword was clad in a purple dark aura and his tattoos glowed the same way . Raikou's mist grew thicker around his body . Gobuta's sword managed to block the incoming beam, and after a slight struggle, he changed the direction to the sky . Raikou, on the other hand, seemed to absorb the light beam down to the last drop . His mist grew even thicker by the time he finished .

"What?!" The angel was surprised and reacted slowly . Noticing MetalGreymon's thoughts, she used her wings to shield herself from two missiles that he released . He used his signature ability the Terra Destroyer . The explosion was a large scale one, but the angel emerged with only a couple of burns on her body . Her mind reading ability couldn't keep up with so many people attacking her . Everyone found the chance they were waiting for . She was able to dodge Suika and Garu who used poison, and ice magic respectively . Goburou managed to catch her off guard and injured hern albeit only slightly . She was unable to dodge the metal arm of MetalGreymon that bound her .

"Give up!" Ed stood in front of her as if declaring his victory . Yet, the angel refused to yield . Ed tried to swing his sword in order to scare her, but the direction of the swing was the opposite of what he thought . The angel broke out of MetalGreymon's binding and flew . Ed wanted to follow her but ended up running to the back .

"What is this?!" Ed was surprised by what was happening .

"Leave it to me Suu!" Suika latched on to Ed's head, and he felt his mind becoming clearer . The angel used a magic to disturb his senses, but Suika's white magic was able to nullify it . Ed looked quite ridiculous since Suika was in her slimeball form, making it like Ed had a golden helmet on .

"You won't be able to escape this!" the angel caught her knees with her hands, and her wings surrounded her . A white light started surrounding her body .

"Raikou, Gobuta . I need an opening!" Ed knew that only the two of them could stop the light . Ed thought about sending flying slashes through the ball of light using his Space magic . But, it wouldn't be enough to stop her .

"Holy Nova!" The angel's muffled voice sounded from inside the sphere . Raikou and Gobuta stood next to each other as they used the same thing as earlier . Gobuta sent a flying slash toward the incoming sphere of light, while Raikou made his own sphere of shadows . They were successful in making the light disappear, but only in the area in front of them .

"That is enough, thank you!" Ed jumped past them while using his strongest sword skill . "Providence Blade!" The skill managed to reach all the way towards the angel, blowing her and the light away .

The angel tumbled around on the ground before stopping and standing up . She was badly injured but still looked like she wanted to fight .

"Let's stop . I truly meant it when I wanted you to come . " Noticing that Ed truly meant what he was saying, she let her guard down .

"Even though I'm a monster?" Still doubtful, she asked him .

"All of my companions are monsters!" Ed smiled while answering her .

"I see...then take care of me!" She extended her bloody arm to Ed, who used a healing card to heal her . Although it was overkill, he wanted to show his good will .

"So how will you break my connection with this tower?"

"You'll see!" Ed smiled while contacting the system in his mind . He wondered if she could hear him speaking with the system, but it was an exclusive channel in his mind .

'Do your thing . '

[Sure]
