Mystery Paradise: Wishing Power Demon-Chapter 240 - 239 Aerial Relay
Chapter 240: Chapter 239 Aerial Relay
Chapter 240 -239 Aerial Relay
Chaoyang maneuvered the airborne tricycle closer and closer to the main tower. It was easier to control than he had anticipated: a single joystick could cover motion in all directions, with a throttle underfoot to control speed, and cutting the engine output allowed for a gradual descent. Even without any prior experience with aircraft, he found it easy to master this device.
At the moment, all the monsters in the courtyard were drawn to the distraction of the Skeleton Hand trio, leaving the option for Ailuodi to fly out on her own or for Chaoyang to land and wait for Ailuodi at the doorway. However, the latter could expose him to the other Angels, and given the presence of a large number of seedlings within the church, the doorway wasn’t truly a safe area. Thus, Chaoyang decisively chose the former.
“I’m less than fifty meters away from the main tower now, hurry over!”
Ailuodi, by this time, felt her wishing power was almost depleted. Without the ability to use Speed of Wind, she had no choice but to take on the enemies one by one instead of plunging into the crowd of monsters as she had before. Not only were more enemies slipping through, but she had also shifted from offense to defense.
She would never have done this in the past.
If death was the inevitable end, she would have burned herself out without hesitation, seeking to kill as many monsters as possible before her power ran out.
But now, her defense was for the sake of ultimate victory.
She believed in the person who had promised to fulfill his words, so she had to stall for time.
As for the other Angels… The fusion between Kelo and Yalo had ended long ago, and now they could only gasp for air by the safety door. The man known as Chao used a technique similar to Misty Step to draw the attention of seven or eight parasites, leading them in a game of hide and seek among the church’s marble pillars. However, such a situation couldn’t last forever.
Dolly’s performance was somewhat surprising to her.
From the initial panic, she had become a mainstay on the left defensive line—constantly constructing ice platforms to transform the flat battleground into a layered field of high and low positions, then exploiting blind spots to launch icicle attacks. There was also that chubby Angel who covered Dolly’s weak spot in close combat. Any dark streak that could have killed Dolly was blocked by his body, even as he was drenched in blood, he never abandoned her.
The main force on the right defense was Dan.
After taking off his suit, his upper body was surprisingly covered in scars, with spiraling muscles stretching from his chest down to his abdomen. Every punch tore through the air with a sonic boom, turning what should have been the most challenging close-quarters combat into his means to victory. Dan would soar into the air before each strike, then dive down like a cannonball, landing his fists on the enemies, with any monster hit by this move either dead or critically injured.
However, he could at best take on two adversaries, still requiring other Angels to distract attention for him. For example, a young female Angel could manipulate enemies like puppeteer with strings, causing considerable chaos among the parasites. Still, seeing her panting so heavily, it was unclear how much longer she could hold on.
Right at that moment, Chaoyang’s voice reached her mind.
Along with his “perspective,” a fleeting image flashed before her eyes showing that he was floating in the air six or seven meters away, only a step from the main tower.
Ailuodi gathered all her wishing power into a furious wind, encasing herself like a wrapped dumpling, then spread her wings and flew toward the gate!
“Ailuodi!?” Dolly was stunned at the scene.
Without the core in the middle, the precarious defense line would collapse immediately, and everyone would be doomed!
“Hold on, I’ll be right back!”
Ailuodi didn’t have the time to explain; she poured all her effort into defending against enemy attacks. The fierce wind swirling around her could even cut through steel! After entering the stone corridor, she pulled up in altitude, skimming under the ceiling where there were no gun holes, flew to the position of the heavy wooden door, and then burst through it, rushing to the outside.
In those few seconds, she exhausted all her remaining wishing power.
But none of that mattered now.
With her last bit of strength, Ailuodi climbed into the air and collided heartily with Chaoyang.
Spread wings enveloped both of them, and then she opened her mouth, biting into the Demon’s shoulder.
Clang.
Frey’s gun dropped to the ground.
“That, that, that’s our leader!?”
The other two were also stunned!
They had seen with their own eyes Ailuodi rush out from the church and embrace the young arms dealer, and although the overlapping wings obscured most of their view, they could still see the two’s heads pressed closely together through the gap underneath!
“Don’t just stand there gawking! The enemy is gathering!” Blan, despite his shock, had not forgotten the presence of the enemy. After tossing two grenades, he dragged his companions to retreat backwards.
Ailuodi hadn’t noticed the companions from Skeleton Hand. The moment she let go of Chaoyang’s shoulder, her wishing power returned to its peak state.
The two exchanged glances, no words necessary. The Angel hopped down from the tricycle and flew back into the church—this time, she smashed the two-story-high wooden doors to smithereens.
Chaoyang also revved up his flying motorcycle and turned back—not because he wanted to take risks, but because blood would lose its power to transfer wishing power if it left the body for too long, so it had to be used immediately.

Through Ailuodi’s perspective, he saw that when the ace returned to the battlefield, the scales of victory instantly tipped in the Angel’s favor. She swept through the area like lightning, whether it was the monsters gathered in the middle or the fish that slipped through the net on either side, every enemy she passed dropped like cut wheat.
About ten minutes later, this assault finally came to an end. There might still be scattered monsters lurking in the castle, but the threat around the church was no more.
Dolly collapsed to the ground as if her bones had been sapped.
She hadn’t used her abilities so frequently in a long time, and the tremendous consumption made her feel intensely dizzy. The nauseating stench of blood in the room made her clutch her stomach and retch violently.
Luckily, she hadn’t completely exhausted her energy… in other words, her life was not in danger for the time being.
However, the recovery might take two to three months.
As for when she could return to her best condition, that, only heaven knew.
The other Angels weren’t faring much better. After the battle ended, fear and exhaustion finally rose to their hearts. Most of those alive could hardly even stand, while the ones lying in pools of blood were of an uncertain fate. Several Angels knelt before their fallen comrades, covering their faces and sobbing, their grief damping the joy of their narrow escape.
The sole exception among them was Ailuodi.
She still stood tall, the brilliance of her wings as dazzling as ever. Even the blood smeared on her body couldn’t diminish this glow.
This was completely illogical!
She had been everywhere on the field, eliminating the most enemies.
She, too, had appeared utterly exhausted before, as though she might collapse at any moment.
Yet, after vanishing for just a moment, she returned to the battlefield in full glory. This was something that couldn’t be explained by mere personal strength.
While Dolly was profoundly puzzled, a tinge of envy also surfaced in her heart.
