Chapter 441: Chapter 368 Angel

Jokes aside, once sanity returned, everyone—including Harvey himself—started to wonder if the Gospel was broken.

You’d say the Heath family, the Bokin family, the Doran family could all be accepted, after all. These people might be single now or even forever single, but in their hearts, they still cherished the concept of "love and family."

But the Harvey family, that phrase sounded like a corpse culinary study group.

It’s not that corpses couldn’t learn to cook, it’s that corpses simply didn’t need to eat food for sustenance.

Harvey didn’t need love, nor did he need a family.

In the "Family Rankings," the other nine great undead families, though undead, still harbored love in their hearts and knew to continue and protect their own kind, begrudgingly meeting the criteria to be listed.

As for Harvey... if the undead families were living people acting like dead ones, then Harvey himself was a dead man acting like a living one.

If one day Harvey said to them, "Why is my heart not beating?" everyone would just think there was nothing wrong with the heart, but that Harvey simply didn’t want to live, leading his heart to neglect its duties. They would suggest that Harvey should, in fact, compensate his heart with 2N in damages.

Because Harvey had gone mad a long time ago.

Perhaps he went mad back at Shattered Lake.

He had severe symptoms of paranoia and auditory hallucinations.

Though nobody cared much, Harvey often chatted with Alice. The only reason he could talk so normally and naturally with them was that he had endless topics to discuss when he was alone with Alice.

Occasionally, when Ash sought him out, he could hear Harvey’s laughter from outside the room. It wasn’t that cold villainous chuckle but a very bright and hearty laugh, reminiscent of a blond, curly-haired, tanned hunk wearing beach shorts.

It was truly terrifying, and Ash was so frightened that he almost turned to run away.

He was certain that everyone must have consulted the Gospel Book with the question "Can Alice talk to Harvey?" and received an answer that sent chills down their spine.

But as Harvey managed to keep his sickness locked within the coffin, the others didn’t pay him any mind. Igula and Ash didn’t bother him either—Igula didn’t care, and Ash wasn’t capable.

Therefore, Harvey might create a legion, a faction, or even a sect, but he could never create a family. Love and family were the antonyms of Archibald Harvey.

Harvey thought so too, which is why when he said he was being dragged down by Ash, it wasn’t entirely a joke—he strongly suspected that the hormonal scent from Ash’s mating season had rubbed off on him.

At that moment, Banjee took out a bunch of emergency biscuits from a suitcase, suggesting that they eat a midnight snack while checking the rankings.

As soon as they read through the attributes of the Corpse King of Blood Moon’s family, their first reaction was—this was Harvey’s moment to turn the tables!

[Bloodthirsty Aura: All living creatures within the aura’s range suffer from the torment of blood flowing in reverse all the time, even spontaneously rupturing their vessels to pool towards the Corpse King of Blood Moon, healing his wounds.]

[Hungry Wolf Giant Corpse Transformation: The Corpse King of Blood Moon can transform into a werewolf form, greatly increasing attack speed and movement speed.]

[Immortality: The Corpse King of Blood Moon can consume souls within his body to heal himself, the king’s skin is tough and immortal, immune to most forms of damage.]

[Tombstone Soul Lock: The Corpse King of Blood Moon can create a massive tombstone. Within its range, all corpses will randomly transform into Mist Spirits, Mecha Spirits, Capturing Spirits, Shadow Spirits... Netherworld Knights, Dragon Liches, and other types of undead soldiers, with the effect lasting until the tombstone collapses.]

[Immunity to Miracle Weaving: Immune to the negative effects of Miracle Weaving.]

Every one of these five characteristics is extremely practical, and coupled with the vast body of the Corpse King of Blood Moon, Ash becomes a veritable Legendary Mage-level war machine!

Based on the previous rewards, Harvey should receive an artifact that allows him to freely transform into the Corpse King of Blood Moon, which means Harvey can now be considered as Legendary combat power!

The Gospel Book continued to update, but for some reason, it played the later video data before updating Harvey’s reward.

"Is this really the true tomb of Belladett? As a Mage, he actually brought all of his inheritance into the tomb with him, isn’t that a bit stingy? He could have at least left something for his family."

"Do not vainly attempt to measure the thoughts of a Necromancer with your feeble ideas. His descendants couldn’t even find his real tomb; what right do they have to inherit the legacy of an Angel? But at least they provided the clue to this inheritance; in return, I will grant the Belladett family eternal rest when I return."

"I dare say, the Belladett family would be moved to tears by your ’generous’ return."

In the video, two people were walking through a grand and solemn golden hall. On both sides of the corridor stood dozens of meters high silver Knight statues, as towering as tombstones and appearing like fanatical pilgrims. The golden floor was covered in splendid patterns, but upon closer inspection, they were all designed with bones—a mix of the sacred and the terrifying, brilliant yet ghostly.

"Angel!?"

Hanna stared in shock at the Gospel Book, while Liss took the opportunity to escape back into Ash’s arms, curiously asking, "Angel? Like in fairy tales?"

Ash, Igula, and Harvey also looked on curiously. With a complex expression, Hanna glanced at Harvey and said, "Not the kind in fairy tales... I don’t know much either, but the Doran family had a Legendary Mage ancestor who mentioned Angels in his records."

"The Gospel Book contains up to information on Four-winged Legendary Mages, and no further. Even if you search for the term ’Angel’, all the Gospel Book will find for you is a pile of fairy tales. If you try to look up Five-winged, the Gospel Book simply won’t respond."

"But Angels, they are beings above Legendary and favored by the Divine Lords. They are completely separated from the mundane and just one step away from the divine, successfully condensing a fifth wing—Demigod Mages!"

"Angel, originally refers to the ’messenger of the Lord’. This term is not a rank, but a title. However, just as Three-winged Mages often lead to the Common title of Holy Sanctuary Mages, Demigod Mages are typically messengers of the Lord, which is why ’Angel’ has become the common name for Demigod Mages."

Demigod Mage!

Five-winged Angel!

Ash held Liss and let his imagination run wild, picturing how Demigod Mages could control the elements. Igula and Harvey, on the other hand, showed little reaction, only nodding and remembering these secrets.

Their response was normal; after all, they were only Two-winged Mages, and they didn’t even know if they could reach the Three-winged Holy Realm, let alone the rank of Four-winged Legendary—though they had never seen a Demigod Mage, the Blood Moon had Four-winged Legendary Mages, who were invariably significant figures they couldn’t even meet: either the top researchers in research institutes or cardinals of the Church, true monsters in terms of social standing.

Igula and Harvey were both extremely practical individuals. Their greatest hope for themselves was to reach the Holy Domain within their lifetime. As for becoming Legends and standing atop the world, ever since they became Mages and no longer needed sleep, they stopped dreaming of such good fortune.

As for the existence of Five-winged Demigods, it was simply not in their plans, and they wouldn’t even dare to dream of it.

After all, when normal people fantasize about winning the lottery, they might imagine a few tens of millions, or a few billion—not trillions. Even the Bank of Heaven and Earth wouldn’t write checks that big.

Although Hanna said this was not a fairy tale, for them, it didn’t make much difference.

Wait a second...

Everyone turned to look at the Gospel Book—were these two people on their way to obtain the legacy of an Angel?

Fairy tales coming true around me?

While it was a future that hadn’t happened yet, if they could find even a hint of a clue, wouldn’t they be able to inherit this treasure now?!
