Chapter 70: This is Definitely Future Teology!

  It took a while, but Alex finally mao calm the excited Ikaros down. This gave him quite a headache. Acc to the typical web rope, when a sve or someone else pledges loyalty to you, isn’t this the moment to say something cool like, “You are free now, go choose your owiny,” and then remove their bindings?

  Shouldn’t the other party then be grateful and grow closer to you?

  Why was it that wheried to remove Ikaros’s colr, she reacted as if he was about to murder her entire family?

  What kind of twisted world did this poor child e from to be so ed?

  "Sigh..."

  Looking at Ikaros, who was staring at him with teary eyes, like an abandoned puppy, Alex was at a loss for words. He sighed helplessly and gave up on the idea of removing the colr from her neck.

  To be ho, he really wasn’t used to seeing such a young girl wearing such a rge colr. But since Ikaros adamantly refused to take it off, there wasn’t much he could do, was there?

  At least, acc to Ikaros, the ed around his right hand could extend and disappear at will. Otherwise, if the priestess saw him walking around with a girl on a leash, she might think he was some kind of pervert.

  But right now… well, the situation wasn’t much better.

  "Mr. Alex? How’s it going over there? Everything okay?"

  At that moment, Fina’s voice came from not far away. Hearing her question, Alex sighed again, then turned and replied.

  "It’s fine now. You e over."

  "Really?"

  Hearing Alex’s response, Fina quickly emerged from behind the rock with a nervous expression. Seeing that Alex was unharmed, she breathed a sigh of relief and then turned her gaze to Ikaros.

  "I’m so gd you’re okay, Mr. Alex... Is this the creature you summoned from another world?"

  "More or less..."

  Alex wasn’t sure how to answer Fina’s question. But Fina didn’t seem to mind. She immediately rao Ikaros, her eyes wide as she carefully examined her.

  "This child is so cute... Hello, my name is Fina. What’s your name?"

  "My name is Ikaros."

  Faced with Fina’s enthusiasm, Ikaros seemed a bit uneasy. She instinctively hid behind Alex. The girl quietly g Alex, and after seeing that he wasn’t displeased, she rexed a little and moved closer to him.

  "I am TYPE β, Eleic Warfare Universal Angel..."

  "Beta?… Eleic what?… Wait, an angel?"

  Although Fina didn’t uand the teical terms Ikaros mentioned, she did catch the word “angel.” Hearing this, her eyes widened in astonishment. It was only then that she noticed the beautiful, transparent wings shimmering with rainbow colors behind Ikaros.

  "What beautiful wings! I’ve never seen an angel like this before... Mr. Alex, I ’t believe you mao summon an angel!"

  It’s my first time seeing an angel like this too.

  Alex eechless. Ikaros had pced herself in a subservient position, ag as if she’d die if he didn’t accept her as his master. Alex had read tless web novels, watched anime, and pyed games in his past life, but he had never entered such a bizarre angel.

  "So, Ikaros."

  Shaking off those distrag thoughts, Alex cleared his throat and looked at the little girl behind him.

  "What you do?"

  "Me?"

  Hearing Alex’s question, Ikaros hesitated for a moment, then quickly responded with a fearful expression.

  "I am aronic Warfare Universal Angel. You and me as you please. I’m willing to do anything..."

  "No, that’s not what I meant..."

  Alex felt a headache ing oime Ikaros said, "I’m willing to do anything." It was fine here with just him and Fina, but if she kept saying that after they left, Alex feared for his safety. He decided to have a serious talk with Ikaros ter, at least to get her to stop saying that, as it made him feel like he was about to do something inappropriate.

  "What I mean is... I just summoned you, so I’m not familiar with your abilities. Could you please introduce them to me?"

  "Ah, of course, that’s no problem."

  Uanding Alex’s request, Ikaros quickly began to expin.

  "I invade and interfere with any object. I also possess seard sing capabilities. I’m fident that I be of great assistao you, Master."

  "So... you don’t have any bat abilities?"

  "I-I’m sorry, Master, please don’t..."

  "No, that’s not what I meant. I was just asking."

  Seeing Ikaros about to kneel in fear again, Alex hurriedly interrupted her, calming her down. It seemed that this little angel was more of a support type. While support types usually had some bat abilities, it was best not to expeuch from them.

  However, Alex was quite intrigued by Ikaros’s "invasion and interference" abilities.

  " you really affeything?"

  "Basically, yes, though I’m not very skilled at maniputing pnts..."

  "Hmm..."

  *Chapter 70: This is Definitely Bck Teology!*

  Hearing Ikaros’s somewhat nervous response, Alex nodded and then led her out of the shadow of the rge rock, pointing to the distant forest.

  “Do you see that forest?”

  “I see it, Master.”

  “Now tell me, what you sense from there?”

  “Yes.”

  Upon hearing Alex's and, Ikaros nodded and looked towards the forest.

  At that moment, Alex noticed a ge in the girl’s blue eyes. If her eyes previously looked like those of an ordinary person, they were now somethiirely different.

  Ikaros’s eyes began to emit a faint blue light. A strange halo started to rotate within her eyes, resembling a camera lens adjusting its focus. At the same time, the rainbow-colored wings behiarted to flicker as if resonating with some kind of wave.

  “Wide-area radar activated… initiating Level 3 energy s. Deteg an unknown energy field, eng analysis…”

  If Ikaros had seemed like a timid little girl before, she noeared cold and meical. Before long, Alex saw the blue-haired girl suddenly raise her head and look at him.

  “Energy field analysis plete. Please give your orders, Master.”

  “Huh? It’s done already?”

  Alex was taken aback by Ikaros’s response. Although Fina seemed utterly fused by what Ikaros was saying, Alex uood enough to realize that this "Universal Angel" roduct of teology.

  He had beeical about whether Ikaros could deal with a magical barrier, but now... she actually did it?

  So much for the idea that sd magi’t mix.

  “Hmm… so, is there a way to prevent the barrier c the forest from activating without alerting the person who set it up?”

  “Leave it to me.”

  Following Alex's order, Ikaros crouched doced her right hand on the ground. Soon, Alex and Fina saw a faint light emanate from her palm, spreading along the ground and into the forest.

  “…………”

  There was no visible ge. To Alex and Fina, the forest seemed as it always had. However, Ikaros soon stood up, smiling as she reported to Alex.

  “Rep, Master. I have fully infiltrated the energy field and seized trol. The barrier c the forest will no longer activate.”

  “Uh… you expin that more simply?”

  “Yes, in other words… the barriers in the forest that you referred to as ‘magical formations’ are now under my trol. You enter a freely without w about triggering any arms or alerts.”

  “What?!”

  As soon as Ikaros finished speaking, Fina's eyes widened in astonishment.

  “How is that possible?!”

  “Is it really that impressive?”

  Seeing Fina’s wide-eyed rea, Alex asked curiously. The priestess, who had just recovered from her shoodded vigorously.

  “This is incredible, Mr. Alex! You might not be a spellcaster, so you may not uand. Every spellcaster’s magic carries a unique imprint, which means only the caster trol it. I’ve never heard of anyone being able to forcibly take trol of another’s magic!”

  “This isn’t particurly difficult.”

  Perhaps because she had just helped Alex, Ikaros looked quite pleased with herself.

  “My ability is to invade and interfere with any object, so whether it’s magic or a human, it’s all the same.”

  “What the…”

  Hearing this, Alex was utterly dumbfounded. When Ikaros first mentioned her ability to “invade and interfere with any object,” he hadn’t paid much attention. Since she introduced herself as aronic Warfare Universal Angel,” Alex, with his modern-day knowledge, had assumed her abilities were akin to those of a radar, early warning system, or eleic jamming device.

  Now, Alex finally uood what Ikaros had meant. Simply put, if those barriers were like a firewall, then Ikaros was a hacker who had breached the firewall, seized trol, and disabled the arms, allowio do whatever she wanted.

  But… that’s sce—this is magic!

  This isn’t just advaeology; this is straight-up Future teology!
