"Let's go now before the sanctuary got even farther!"

After training in how to control the glider, I show it in front of the wind mages and they are quick to learn how to do it since they can use wind magic. Unlike me.

And since they now have their own Blobbies that can transform at their will, I will continue my search for the angels. Though their Blobbies are stronger than back then when I was still an intermediate level, they are still breakable. I told them to be careful with it.

And now, I'm right next to Andro's wing. Trying to glide toward where the sanctuary should go to.

"Then, we'll take off now! See you later!" I shouted to Veronica and the others who are staying behind. They still want to cultivate there.

With Andro's wing as a boost for my glider, we flew away very fast. It's about as fast as Spot in his full speed. I still hope that I can at least run this fast in the future.

"Wooohooo!! This is amazing!" I shouted in excitement.

"I know, right? Although I was more of an introvert in my previous world, I always wanted to go hang gliding. Unfortunately, in my lifetime, I was unable to. Then, after I die and reincarnated to this world, I learned how to use Aura. And when I was told that I can get a special ability, flying is the first thing that comes to mind," Victoria said.

"Then, do you have any other interesting from your world?" I asked.

"Many. Let's see…"

"Wait! Just the good things. Not the weird and bad things," I said.

"There are still many. Well, I can't tell you everything since this world's technology is not as advanced as my world's, but I can tell you some. Though I think it's best to talk about it later. We're flying right now, and it's best for us to just enjoy the wind and the view," Victoria said.

"Right. Oh, and tell me if you see the Angels' Sanctuary. Don't forget our real goal in flying," I said.

"Yeah, but… hmm?"

"What's wrong, Victoria?" I asked.

When she was about to say something, she suddenly stopped. Does it mean that someone is destroying a Blobby to call me?

"Oh, seems like Angela and Spot found one place already. Only one more, but it seems that Angela chooses to stay over there for a little longer. Which mean Spot will be coming for us soon," Victoria said.

"I see. Well, if it's him, he should be able to notice where we are later. Does he follow me by the smell like the werewolves?"

Maybe he has similar powerful smelling sense like the werewolves. Just like how he somehow noticed that we were leaving the tree dungeon previously.

I enjoyed the flight for about one hour when I suddenly caught a glimpse of a ruin above the cloud. Is that the sanctuary?

I look closer to it with my Divine Vision, and see that there are many humanoid creatures, with very similar appearances as us human, but with a pair of wings on their back. They must be angels.

But why do they look depressed? Is something the matter?

"Victoria, I think I've found it. But it seems like it's not a good time to meet them. They seem to be in a bad situation," I told Victoria.

"Hmm? What's wrong with them?" Victoria asked.

"They just look listless right now. Something is going on with them," I said.

"Then, do you want to leave now and return again next time?" Victoria asked.

"No. In fact, this might be an opportunity for me. If I can somehow help them, the archangel might be willing to be my contracted monster," I replied.

"…you're such an opportunist. But do you really want them to be your contracted monster?" Victoria asked.

"What do you mean?"

"Well, you don't want to fight them to be your contracted monster. But how will you know if they are strong enough if you're not fighting them?"

"…does it mean I still have to fight them? I guess it's inevitable. Good thing I have this glider to preserve my stamina and magic," I said.

Let's check the place first before we land.

First, like Spot said, it's above a cloud. And seems like the cloud can be stepped on, just like a normal ground.

And above the cloud, there are many buildings made of stones. Similar to stone building made by humans. But many of those stone buildings are destroyed? If the angels are at least as strong as what Spot told me, they should be able to rebuild those buildings again. Don't tell me that they are actually weak?

Well, able to fight and able to lift heavy weights are different.

For example, when I was fifteen, I am not strong enough to lift a weight of over one hundred kilograms. But at that time, after the Mellian guards learned how to train their bodies and became muscular, each one of them should at least strong enough to lift weight of over one hundred kilograms. But if we fought back then, I could easily defeat them all if it's a fight without magic.

But now, I'm already much stronger than those Mellian guards and can easily lift much heavier object. Well, that's not the point.

The point is that, the angels might actually be good in fighting, but not in lifting weight.

Maybe the problem they are facing is their destroyed home. If I could help them, it will be easier for me to negotiate with them.

Anyway, what could cause such destruction to happen? An earthquake? Or in this case, cloudquake? Is that even possible?

…that's actually possible.

Now that I think about it, I think I found the reason why the buildings above the cloud are destroyed. It's because of Andro.

Since he said that the sanctuary was close to his wings, it got blown away with much power. No wonder if the buildings above the cloud can get destroyed like this.

"Let's get there and greet the angels, shall we?"

I landed on the floating cloud after Victoria returns back to her Slime from and rested on my shoulder like usual. I miss the time when she was my grappling hook. But I don't need that anymore.

The angels are looking at me curiously, but I don't feel any hostility. They seem to have lost all their will to live. Just because their homes are destroyed?

"Hello! I came in peace!"

I said that, but no one reacted. Don't tell me that they are unable to speak our language?

"Does anyone understand what I'm saying?" I asked.

Still, no one reacted. What an annoying creature these angels are!

"Hello? Hello!?"

I look around, and as if they lost their interest in me, no one is looking my way. What the hell!?

There are male angels and female angels. They are all wearing white clothes that covers most part of their bodies. They seem very conservative.

"Hey, you! Can you tell me where your leader is?"

Since no one is reacting at all, I'll just ask someone if they can bring me to their leader.

But when I asked one of the male angels, he suddenly broke down to tears as he pointed his finger to the middle part of the cloud.

Over there, I can see a male angel with three pairs of wings. That means six-winged angel. Is he the archangel?

But… the thing is, that angels' body is being trapped by a fallen rock from a building. Now that I look around, I see that the rocks are just put together, without any glues or cement. Obviously, the buildings will fall apart.

Never ask an angel about architecture. I make a note in my mind.

That six-winged angel is being healed by other angels who are crying. That's why even if his body is crushed, it keeps healing. But overtime, his ribs will get broken from the weight of the rock. That's why he needs to be healed again and again.

Just lift the rock from him! If everyone works together, it should be easy!

When I approached the literally 'Fallen Angel', he noticed me.

"Oh? A human? It's rare for us to have a human as our guest… sorry, but I will probably die soon," the fallen angel' said.

"No! Lord Graham! You can't say that!"

Other angels then told him that he can't die yet. At least I know that the angels here respected this fallen angel.

"So… why is no one lift the rock?" I asked.

"Because… no one… is strong enough…" the fallen angel said.

"…does no one here know the word teamwork?" I asked.

"…what's that?"

"You can just lift the rock if everyone works together! That's what I mean!" I shouted. Looking at how ridiculous they are, I'm kind of reluctant to make them my contracted monster.

"Working together?" the fallen angel asked curiously.

"AAAH! Just let me do it!" I shouted in anger.

And so, with my Aura concentrated on my fingers, I stab my fingers onto the rock, and threw it away easily. Like I said before, the me right now can lift heavy object easily.

"There! You're free now and you won't die anytime soon! Unless you force me to kill you!" I shouted.

"This… thank you very much! You are my savior! No, you are our savior!"

With the fallen angel, whose name seems to be Graham, in the lead, all the other angels followed to kneel in front of me.

But then, other angels started asking for help.

"Oh, Lord Savior! Please save my trapped son as well!"

"And my friend!"

"And my father!"

"…do it yourself, you lazy bastard!"

There's no way I can keep calm with them around me. Let's get our business here done faster so we can go home.

Even if I ended up having Graham as my contracted monster, I just hope that I won't interact with them much.
