The Key Changer did not give a direct answer, simply smiled as he reached out and gently placed his hand on the Winged People Clan Leader's shoulder, causing his movements to stop instantly.

"I, we are not..." Despite his face still being charred, the Hero could see that he seemed to desperately want to explain something, but was interrupted by the Key Changer.

"More importantly, Clan Leader, I have news to inform you—the candidate for the ceremony has been decided."

The Key Changer's expression calmed down, a hint of compassion appearing on his doll-like face.

"A sacrificial child capable of anchoring the baseline of the newborn, completing the Sacrificial Ceremony that my failed creation could not achieve, has been found."

"Cough—Cough, really, really!?"

The Winged People Clan Leader's tone suddenly turned excited, shouting as if he would cough up blood despite his throat being scorched by the hot wind.

"Who, who is it? Is it that the king has given birth to another sacrificial child? Or is it someone from our tribe—"

"—It is a human."

The Key Changer said softly.

The Winged People Clan Leader was stunned, all his actions ceased, as if he even forgot to breathe.

"Among the humans who were brought over, the king discovered her. She is the daughter of a human Count, possessing a pure spirit and strong talent... so the king took her soul, deciding to cultivate her as the sacrificial child."

The Hero's pupils contracted suddenly, a myriad of doubts surged in her heart, almost causing her to interject.

But faster than her, the Winged People Clan Leader, as if unwilling to accept the reality, asked with a hint of pleading.

"She, she has the Angel's bloodline, right? She is a magician who has already awakened the Angel Power, right?"

"Unfortunately, she is a purebred human and still very young.

"Even if there is a certain amount of Angel Blood in her lineage, now that she has left the body, it is impossible for the soul to awaken the Angel's elements."

The Key Changer shook his head, his grayish-white pupils half-closed, staring at the Winged People Clan Leader's face.

"—Therefore, the Winged Race can no longer become angels, you are doomed to fall into depravity eternally."

Hearing the Key Changer's words, the Winged People Clan Leader's murky pupils dispersed, and although his charred yet sturdy body slightly trembled.

"Impossible... impossible, how could the king abandon the angels—"

"Not to mention that you have long stopped being angels, it is only natural for those who betrayed the king to be abandoned, isn't it?"

The Key Changer's gentle whisper felt like a heavy blow, the Winged People Clan Leader opened his mouth, yet could not make a sound, instead, blood seeped from his lips and teeth.

"Hey!"

The Hero beside furrowed her brows slightly and finally spoke up to interrupt.

She quickly reached out, placing her hand on the Winged People Clan Leader's back, letting Magic Power rudely burst into the other's body, perceiving the severely injured areas.

"Ah-la—" The Key Changer blinked, before he could speak, the Winged People Clan Leader already started to struggle.

It was apparent from his severe injury that he hadn't noticed the Hero inches away before, and now he was naturally somewhat flustered.

"Everyone quiet down! Injured individuals, behave yourself!"

The Hero raised her eyebrows, sharply commanding.

"Close your eyes, breathe steadily! Swallow the things in your throat... yes, just like that."

Adopting the attitude she had when working as a nurse at the border, the Hero's voice was calm, steadily channeling Magic Power.

At this moment, in her eyes, there was no division between friend or foe, only herself as the healer and the presence of the injured.

"Retract your wings, relax your body, focus your consciousness on the hand I am touching you with, very good..."
