"DAX!"

[CONTACT UNAVAILABLE, ALL COMMUNICATION HARDLINES OCCUPIED.]

"WHAT!? Run debug!"

Being blocked by the communication system Lux was outraged until her ICI unit responded to her inquiry.

[DEBUG COMPLETE, COMMUNICATIONS OFFLINE, REASON: HIGH OUTGOING TRAFFIC.]

(High outgoing traffic?... Don't tell me!-)

Confirming her train of thought Lux realized that she had lost all control of the surviving drones that had up until now been under her control.

At the same time about 3000 kilometers away Dax had reviewed the current attack taking place on his adorable second in command and other comrades.

"So you can do something like that too?"

Asking the archangel next to him, she lightly fluttered her 6 prue white wings before putting on a smug and haughty smile and answered with an annoyingly superior sunding smile.

"Of course, and unlike that pheathetic example right there I can maintain it for about a month without stopping."

"So this one has a time restriction?"

Completely ignoring Solaris' haughty att.i.tude Dax immediately picked up on what she was hinting at and asked with what to Solaris looked like a calm expression.

"Definitely, I would say it is a wonder in itself that that fallen angel managed to pull off an ascension spell like that. I would say she can keep it up for about 30 minutes depending on how much mana she channels through her body."

"Please elaborate."

Just as Solaris was about to crack a joke or demand some kind of compensation in response to Dax's rude request for more information she froze as her golden eyes saw a huge s.h.i.+ft in the ambient mana around Dax.

(Bloodl.u.s.t!)

Just because Dax couldn't directly interact with mana his mental state, like all other living creatures still affected it. After spending some time with Dax suppressing the northern rebellion she had learned to somewhat read his mood by observing the mana around him, and the current Dax was angry, extremely so. Solaris hurriedly formed the mana around her for defensive spells, but realized that it in the end was not necessary as Dax's rage was directed somewhere else. His artificial eye that was hidden behind a black eyepatch glowed dimly as it darted around while he seemed not look at Solaris, even as he was directly staring at her.

Sending out thousands of commands Dax didn't wait for ICI to respond, all that was on his mind at the moment was saving his comrades Dax realized he had truly come to care for them like his former subordinates that had perished around him when he had suffered an ambush all that time ago.

"Please do elaborate on your a.s.sessment Solaris, why won't she be able to maintain that form?"

Calming himself slightly Dax switched gears as he sought more intel from the slightly on edge archangel in front of him that seemed to cover slightly as she spoke this time.

"ascension is a really hard spell to pull off unless you have the mana capacity necessary. We angels store mana in our wings, and therefore the amount of wings is a direct correlation to our power. Think of the angel like Hydroelectric dams you taught me about, the spell is the turbines that produce power while the water is mana. Ascension is like suddenly adding 3 or 4 more high yield turbines, as such the power skyrockets but so does the stress on the structure, too much stress and?..."

Catching on what Solaris was trying to say Dax formed a s.a.d.i.s.tic smile on his face.

"The structure fails, and the dam bursts, with the water that was its source of power destroying it."

"Exactly, my young student."

"I'm pretty sure I'm older than you."

Since forcefully performing ascension and wiping out the pests around her, the 3 winged angel Melisha had not meet any new obstacles as she flew towards her target, a demi human child that was of much value to her employer. Of course there was still some flies loitering around her, after Melisha ascended her senses had become much more potent so she could hear their artificial wings flapping about, but as long as they kept their distance they were of no treat, or so she taught.

[TARGET ACQUIRED, FINAL GUIDANCE NOW COMMENCING: VIPER STRIKE PACKAGE #1 UTILIZING STRIKE PATTERN E-11.]

All of a sudden objects shot up out of the treeline and approached Melisha at supersonic speeds.

"FUC!-"

With only split seconds to act Melisha could not form a complicated spell like the one she used the last time to catch the enemies catapult, so she opted to s.h.i.+eld herself as much as she could. Enduring the blast Melisha let out a pitiful scream as overpressure formed from a well coordinated strike that struck from all directions at the same time. Immediately after that strike the entire area was pelted with railgun fire that further degraded Melisha's s.h.i.+eld, before another pack of Viper cruise missiles showered the area in a healthy mix of shrapnel and flechette darts.

"WHAT THE f.u.c.k!?"

Prying a metal dart out of her arm Melisha was completely outraged as she started channeling an even larger amount of mana trough her wings that she used to create a giant earth dome to hide from the torrent of fire.

"s.h.i.+t… I need to get out of here."

Feeling she had drawn way too much hostile attention Melisha decided to withdraw and regroup and powered up a mana crystal to locate her allies.

"All dead?... Useless insects."

Confirming the demise of her allies Melisha only expressed scorn and annoyance before she searched for her target by looking for its mana signature.

"There you are… Time to get this done."

With a move of her arm the earth dome shattered into a million sharp projectiles that pelted the flying bugs around her. Breathing in deeply Melisha extended her wings before setting off with such speed that she blew over the surrounding trees. In an instant Melisha had left the forest and was out over a field where she spotted some kind of gray machine that moved away from her at great speed.

"There you are!"

Ignoring the pesky flies and insects around her she closed in on the steel chariot in an instant and tore open the roof to find her target inside, or so she believed.

"WHAT!?"

The inside was empty, no demi human child and no guards. The only thing inside was some kind of strange device that emitted the same kind of mana as her target, and a slip of paper with a line of writing and showed a stickfigure performing a very rude gesture.

"Huh?"

Letting out a stupid sound as she read the the paper Melisha realized she had been lured into a trap, and a well designed one at that.

'Enjoy your trip down to h.e.l.l' it said, and that was the last thought that went through the fallen angel's mind as the t.i.tanium alloy of the machine around her was vaporized when the closed transport AEHWP's fusion drive ignited with the force of a smaller nuclear device.
