I Can Get 1,000,000x Returns from Selling Anything!-Chapter 30 --Archangel’s Crown, Vengeance Mark

[Corrupted Angel · Aeryel · LV75 (Epic-grade BOSS)]

A blood-red alert appeared.

Daniel’s mind tightened, and he immediately put some distance between them.

But the Corrupted Angel did not attack at once.

It hovered in midair, gazing down at the shattered fragments of the Heart of Mountain, watching the remaining pieces flicker with their last traces of faint golden light.

Then it let out a low, sorrowful wail.

The sound was both crying and rage.

Within the small chest cavity, debris cascaded down.

[Ding! Hidden Story Triggered: Corrupted Angel · Aeryel!]

Aeryel was a prince of the angel race. At his birth, the Dark Acolyte had already betrayed the angels. After failing, the Dark Acolyte placed a Dark God’s curse upon the infant, attempting to blackmail the Angel King.

Faced with orders to eliminate the fallen heir, the Angel King could not bring himself to kill his child, entrusting him secretly to a trusted Mountain God, hoping that its purifying power would gradually dispel the curse.

However, the curse was far stronger than expected. Twenty years later, Aeryel’s will was thoroughly corrupted, and even the Mountain God fell into madness under the Dark God’s whispers.

Daniel read the description, understanding immediately.

No wonder the gentle Mountain God had gone berserk.

No wonder this mountain had become a life-forbidden zone.

He had no time to dwell, as the chest cavity began to tremble violently. Cracks appeared across the thick ribs.

The Mountain God was dead. The cavity was collapsing!

At the same time, the figure moved.

Six black wings unfurled explosively. The Corrupted Angel transformed into a streak of black light, charging at him!

The speed was astonishing.

Daniel instinctively activated God Speed, dodging behind a rib.

Boom!

The angel’s claw shredded the rib behind him, debris flying and striking Daniel painfully.

Before he could react further, a second strike came!

Daniel gritted his teeth, manipulating his Dragon Wings to dodge within the confined space.

The ribs restricted his movement, and he narrowly avoided being hit several times.

The angel’s claws grazed his cheek, leaving a slash of blood.

Black wings swept across, breaking nearby ribs, nearly crushing him.

He seized an opening and drew his bow.

Aetherlance!

The golden spear shot forth at close range, piercing the angel’s chest instantly.

[-150,000!]

The angel screamed, losing 15% HP.

But instead of retreating, it became even more frenzied.

Daniel dodged with God Speed, firing arrows as he moved.

He avoided using explosive damage in this confined space—too much would collapse the chest prematurely.

Two more Aetherlance strikes hit, reducing Aeryel’s HP to 50%.

The Corrupted Angel’s movements grew faster, black mist thickening around it.

The suffocating black aura made Daniel shiver in disgust.

At the moment of his fifth Aetherlance, Aeryel suddenly halted.

He hovered midair, six black wings drooping, red light in his eyes flickering.

In that critical moment, the golden spear pierced his heart!

HP instantly dropped to zero.

Yet he did not fall.

He hovered, gazing down at the gaping wound in his chest, the black liquid still dripping.

Then he lifted his head.

The red light in his eyes vanished.

In its place were clear, pale golden eyes.

"You... who are you?"

His voice was hoarse and weak, like someone awakening after centuries of slumber.

Daniel said nothing, remaining alert.

Aeryel struggled to land on a relatively intact rib.

He looked at his ruined black wings, at the creeping black veins, and smiled bitterly.

"Indeed... I couldn’t hold on."

"And I dragged Mountain God Grandpa down with me."

He looked up at Daniel.

"My name is Aeryel, prince of the angel race."

He paused, as if recalling a distant memory.

Then he reached out to touch a thick rib beside him.

"Mountain God Grandpa accompanied me for twenty years. To suppress my curse, his Strength was consumed continuously, until in the end, even he was corrupted."

His voice trembled.

Debris continued to fall from above; the chest cavity collapsed faster and faster.

Aeryel looked at Daniel.

"You killed Mountain God Grandpa... and freed me. I owe you my life."

Struggling, he removed the golden crown from his head and handed it directly to Daniel. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

"This... is for you."

Daniel took the crown, looking at the weakened angel prince before him.

Aeryel gave a faint, weary smile.

"The Dark Acolyte... betrayed the angel race. My father... may have been deceived as well."

His voice weakened as his body turned into countless golden light particles, dissipating.

"I’m sorry..."

With the final word, he transformed completely into sparkling golden fragments, vanishing within the chest cavity.

[Ding! You have slain Corrupted Angel · Aeryel (Epic-grade BOSS)]

[Rewards: 3,500,000 XP, Holy Wing Guardian (Epic-grade) ×1, Angel’s Tear (Special) ×1, 8,000 gold coins, Contribution Points +800!]

[Ding! XP overflow detected. Current Level: 70 (Cap)]

Daniel hadn’t even checked the new equipment before a burning sensation flared across his chest.

Looking down, a golden rune slowly emerged on his chest, faintly glowing.

The rune was complex, subtly forming the shape of a pair of wings.

[Ding! You have received the Angelic Vengeance Mark!]

Effect: Angelic race members can sense your presence at close range. While marked, your location will be revealed automatically when entering angel territories.

Duration: Permanent (removable only by special means)

Daniel frowned.

Vengeance Mark?

He looked toward the place where Aeryel had disappeared; the golden particles had completely dissipated.

No wonder the angel had apologized in the end—now it made sense.

At that moment, the system alarm blared:

[Warning!!! Detection: powerful lifeform locking onto this location!!!]

[Warning!!! Evacuate immediately!!!]

A terrifying presence descended from the sky at incredible speed.

A pressure so immense it seemed to freeze the surrounding space.

Daniel didn’t hesitate and activated God Speed.

Destination: Luminara!

The next moment, he vanished.

Almost simultaneously, a golden light appeared above the Broken Spine Mountains.

A colossal angel nearly ten meters tall, twelve golden wings blotting out the sky, each feather ablaze with holy flame.

His expression was both majestic and sorrowful, gazing down at the collapsed mountains, the shattered remains of the Mountain God, and the last lingering particles of light in the air.

The king of the angel race.

"Damn you! Even if you flee to the ends of the world, I will bring your head back to honor the fallen!"

He let out a thunderous roar.

The voice carried endless sorrow and overwhelming killing intent.

Boom—!!!

Golden light erupted from him, flattening the surrounding mountains across hundreds of miles in an instant.
