Chapter 408 - Graham's Real Power

Everyone is busy moving the cloud to the settlement of the werewolves and the elves. We have decided that it will be safer for them all to gather.

Now, I'm the leader of the three races. Werewolves, elves, and angels.

The werewolves, they became my followers after defeating their previous king. And I became the current Werewolf King. Being the Werewolf King is enough to get their loyalty.

As for the elves, they are not mine to control. But because their leader made a contract with my maid, all the elves obeyed Lina. And Lina obeys me. Which mean they are still under me.

And the angels, they are stupid. I don't know if they have hierarchical structure, but they don't seem to disobey the archangel. I'll ask them about it later, but for now, I think they won't cause any problem to me. They are afraid of me after seeing me knocking Graham out for three days.

And he wasn't even using his full strength. But no one knows about it.

Which is why, right now, I'm in a wasteland beyond where the forest of the elves to see how powerful he is.

There are only Graham, Shelia, Spot, Victoria, and me here. No one else is watching. They are more interested in the culture of the angels and walking around on top of a cloud.

I mean of course that's amazing! It's like a dream come true to be able to walk on top of the cloud.

Though if we made too much noise, I think they will move their attention away from the cloud and toward us.

Of course, since Graham is showing his real strength, we can only see how powerful he is by sparring. That's why I'm already fully equipped with Reizpear in my right hand, and Victoria in my left prepared to transform into anything I have in mind.

"Do we need to go this far?" I asked the archangel who hides his wings, so the number of wings on his back is six. Like the time when I first met him.

"No. But I don't want others to see this," Graham replied.

So, this is some kind of transformation again? And it won't be just growing six more wings like before? What will it be?

"Some angels already know about this, but I prefer to not show it to them. And as you are my master, I will show you everything. But… can she please cover her body more?" Graham said as he shyly pointed his finger to Shelia who is still in her bikini-like outfit.

"Get used to it. You will live with the werewolves now. The two sides will spar more often so both of you can grow stronger for the war. During the war, there's no time to get dressed. At least that's what I learned in my past life," I said.

I remember that time, when I participated in the war, some of the mercenaries were still taking a bath. And the cult attacked at that time, so they had no choice but to fight naked.

It was a beautiful sight when I see the naked girls fighting without thinking of covering their important parts. But for the men… it was a traumatic experience seeing that thing swinging around.

Though now that I have Divine Vision, I can still see them. Not by choice most of the time. But at least I'm lucky that most of my allies are women.

"Really? Then, will I have to be naked in the battle one day?" Graham asked. He was shocked after hearing that some people go to war naked.

"Not really. Back then, we were in defensive battle. That's why the enemies were more prepared since they are on the offensive. But if we're the one attacking, I believe we will be prepared enough to wear our clothes when it's time to fight," I replied.

We were attacked from left and right back then. It was lucky that we were able to go for quite a while without losing until I died.

But now, I have returned back in time. And I'm much stronger, with our side more prepared. This time, we will win the war and destroy the cult.

The best-case scenario is if we don't ever go to war, and we destroyed the cult easily. But I think that's hoping too much.

"Let's get started already. Show me what you got!"

Hearing my command, Graham closed his eyes. And soon after, three pairs of wings are growing on his back. That's the transformation I witnessed before when we were fighting.

But this time, it's different as Spot and Shelia noticed something weird is happening, and they raised their vigilance.

If Spot even raised his vigilance, I guess Graham will be at least as strong as Spot. Does it mean I got the jackpot by making a contract with him? We'll see.

"What the…"

The new wings on his back, is changing color. From the white wings with white feathers like the angels, they changed to a black one. With black feathers.

The six pair of wings have two different colors now. From the top, it's white. Then black, white, black, white, and lastly, it's black.

And not just that. A part of Graham's face, there's also some kind of mark like a tattoo. It's on the right side of his face. From the forehead, to the right cheek.

"This is me at my full strength. I am a hybrid of an angel, and a demon," Graham said.

"…and, what does that transformation gives you?" I asked.

"Although I'm not as fast as the time when I fought you before, these black wings give me more power," Graham said.

He then swung his gold spear down to the earth, and I can feel his power has increased. Now, he's no longer the unbalanced fighter like before who focused mostly in his speed.

I asked him to do some more attack, and I can see his speed is faster than when he had six wings, but slower than when he had twelve white wings. But the current Graham can adjust with his own speed now. Unlike the extremely fast him.

If he used this transformation instead of the twelve white wings, I would have lost against him. Most likely. Since his strength is now more balanced.

Well, maybe I will not lose since I can use portals now in a fight. But it will be harder for me to win. Only at that time though.

"Is enhanced strength the only power you got from your demon's bloodline?" I asked.

"No. I can also create a shadow clone of myself from my own shadow. And my shadow will be as strong as I am," Graham said as he created a shadow clone of himself.

The size of the shadow, the number of wings, and everything look similar. Except it's all as black as a shadow.

But to creates a clone that as strong as the original… doesn't it mean that I really hit the jackpot!?

"Wait! If that's your shadow magic, and combined with your light magic, if you use your light magic to create a huge shadow and create a clone from that huge shadow, will it be a huge clone? And if so, will it be as strong as you are?" I asked.

"That's right. Well, I'll show you," he said.

He looked around, but doesn't find a good place to use light magic since it's still bright. The sun is right above us, so the shadow is small.

So, I asked Spot to turn big and cover him with his shadow. There, Graham used light magic to shine a light that will make a huge shadow of himself from under Spot.

The previous clone has disappeared, but now, the giant shadow moved. The giant shadow raised into another clone. Now, there's a giant angel there. Including the spear as well.

"Because he's bigger, he's stronger than the original me," Graham said.

"…if you can do that, you didn't have to give up your life just because of being trapped under a rock, you stupid winged idiot!"

I remember how he just gave up from being pressed by the rock. I need to make sure the angels can be much smarter than this.

"Like I said, this form is not something I want to show to everyone."

"Stop giving excuses! Lives are at stakes!" I shouted. Then I asked, "Can you only make one clone?"

"Yes. Only one."

"Let's test how powerful you are. You and your clone, will fight against me," I said.

"You alone?" Shelia asked.

"Don't worry. It's easy for me to win. I just want to test how powerful he is," I said.

Shelia jumped to Spot's head and they watched us from distance.

As he said, Graham is more powerful now despite being slower than the full-speed of the twelve-winged archangel. And with two of them, it was a difficult fight.

But now I know how powerful he is. I don't need to fight any longer. Especially seeing how happy he is thinking that he could defeat me.

The result? It's my victory.

Although I said that I might lose before, it was while I still thinking of learning more about how he fights. But since I have seen it, and there's no difference in technique between this transformation and before, I can win easily by using some tricks.

This is why idiots will die so fast in battle. Good thing that Angela is genius in magic and fighting. Though I hope she won't get tricked.

I told Graham to heal himself before returning back to the settlement. Or is it a village now?

In any case, I really hit the jackpot with making a contract with him.. It means I got two powerful allies just from him alone.
