Chapter 167 - Chapter 167: The City of Angels

Mika activated a spell, attempting to open the door to a much more distant past.

When the door was halfway manifested, Mika frowned and said to Yuichiro,

"Yu, your body doesn't have enough heat left."

Yuichiro was a bit surprised; he had clearly just eaten so much. He closed his eyes to feel his condition.

"I really do seem a bit hungry. I'll be right back."

With that, Yuichiro disappeared, while Mika continued to channel the incantation.

Soon, the door fully manifested, but Mika, Luke, and Krul could not open it no matter what they tried.

After a while, Yuichiro reappeared. As soon as he entered, he pointed a finger at Luke with an indignant look on his face.

"Luke, why did you add so much chili to the food on the lower level of the dining cart?!"

Luke played dumb.

"Didn't you want heat? Isn't your stomach burning hot right now?"

At the same time, he thought to himself: It wouldn't be any fun if I let you eat comfortably.

Although Yuichiro felt extremely frustrated, he could only swallow his anger. It was then that he noticed the door in front of him.

"Is the distant past behind this door?"

Mika's expression was serious as he nodded slowly.

"And it's incredibly distant..."

As the caster, Mika could feel that the timeline behind the door was extremely ancient.

Yuichiro took a deep breath, composed his emotions, and placed his hand on the door.

"Phew~ Then let's see what exactly my past was like."

The door that Luke and the other two couldn't budge together was pushed open by Yuichiro with a single hand.

Luke couldn't help but complain.

"I'm impressed. It's actually palm-print unlocked."

Seeing Yuichiro and Mika holding hands as they entered, Luke wore an expression of someone whose mind had wandered into the gutter.

"Don't just stand there, let's go in and see if there's anything I want to know."

Krul grabbed Luke by the collar and headed inside.

"Hey! Wait... Wait a minute, beautiful. Other 'best bros' go in holding hands, isn't this posture a bit wrong for a couple like us? Hey!"

Krul couldn't care less about that, and the two stepped through the door... As soon as Krul stepped out, she felt a powerful gust of wind blowing against her face, which blew her hair back into a slicked-back style.

"The wind is too strong, I'm passing away,"

"Regularly, regularly, a slicked-back look..." (Song title: Strong Wind Slicked-Back Hair)

Krul turned her head and looked at Luke in confusion.

"What are you singing?"

Luke scratched his head and laughed.

"Just a sudden inspiration, sudden inspiration."

Although Luke stopped singing, Miku started playing the song automatically in the background.

Good job!

Luke silently gave Miku a thumbs up, then began to observe the surrounding environment.

Krul looked at the ground beneath her feet. The more she looked, the more something felt off. Why did it look so much like scales?

As if suddenly realizing something, Krul looked back. The door had already disappeared, and the scene previously blocked by the door now entered Krul's vision—it was the back of the neck and the back of the head of some creature.

This kind of animal also existed in the Vampire records—a Pterosaur!

"We are on the back of a Pterosaur!"

Luke and Krul realized their current situation; they were currently passengers on 'Flight Pterosaur.'

This Pterosaur was so enormous that Luke and Krul hadn't even realized they were on a dragon's back at first.

Luke went to the edge and looked down. Below was a primeval forest, and there were many huge creatures in the forest—likely different species of dinosaurs! Despite 'holding the script,' Luke hadn't expected they would appear in the sky just by being one step behind Yuichiro.

"Hey, Luke, what is... that?"

"What's what?"

Luke heard Krul calling him and turned to ask. Following Krul's gaze, Luke was also stunned.

In the distance was a tower towering into the clouds, and around the high tower was a complex of buildings with an extremely futuristic feel. Different from the neon flashes of cyberpunk, these buildings were very uniform; only the hovering cars flying by from time to time demonstrated a technological level far beyond the present.

Even though Luke had been mentally prepared, actually seeing such a steel beast standing in the primeval forest still brought him quite a shock.

Especially that high tower reaching straight into the clouds; even though the two were currently high in the sky, they still couldn't see the top of the tower.

Luke felt that if the tower Bam climbed in 'Tower of God' was as high as this one, he would never reach the top in his life. This tower definitely had more than 135 floors! It felt like it was heading for the sun.

Luke and Krul jumped off when the Pterosaur was relatively close to the city, easily entering it.

But shortly after entering, Krul noticed something was wrong.

The pedestrians on these streets all had pure white wings, and most of them had no heads. To be precise, there was a cloud of black mist where the head should be, which looked very strange. However, a few had heads and faces similar to humans, and those black-mist-headed fellows were very respectful toward these human-like ones.

Finally, Krul came to a startling conclusion.

"This is a city of angels! Even I haven't experienced this era. Has Yuichiro existed for even longer than I have?!"

Thinking carefully, by the time Krul became a Vampire, Yuichiro was already following the Progenitor.

And it was easy to see that there were also classes among the angels. Distinguishing classes was also very simple: those with 'heads and faces' were of a high class, while the lower classes used a generic model.

"Maybe it's Mika's memory?"

Krul thought about it and felt that what Luke said wasn't without reason. As the Progenitor's child, no one knew how long Mikael had lived except for the Progenitor and himself.

"Wait a minute, these little things..."

Krul then noticed that throughout this city, small black spheres floating in mid-air could be seen everywhere, and each small black sphere had an eye on it.

Luke made a casual guess.

"These should be serving as surveillance, right?"

Krul was thoughtful and asked Luke,

"Don't you find these fellows a bit familiar?"

Luke frowned. This should be the first time we've seen this kind of thing, a flying black one-eyed ball... Wait a minute!

A look of shock appeared in Luke's eyes.

"You mean..."

Krul looked deeply at a one-eyed black sphere and nodded.

"Alucard, it was given to me by the Progenitor..."

Luke really didn't know if these things were the predecessors of Alucard. If they were, what purpose did the Progenitor have for placing one by Krul's side?

Constantly thinking about problems with no clues wasn't the way to go. The two temporarily put the question aside and finally decided to investigate from the most suspicious Tower of Heaven in the center.

Arriving at the base of the tower, the two breathed a sigh of relief because they saw an elevator!

Entering the elevator, the dense array of floor buttons left them unsure of where to start. However, some of the floor buttons were very prominent, likely being very important floors.

"I have a plan! Eeny, meeny, miny..."

"Get lost! Go to the top floor."

"Understood, Princess Krul."

With someone making the decision, Luke, who suffered from decision paralysis, was happy to comply. He gave a Young Pioneers salute and then pressed the button for the top floor.

Luke guaranteed that this was the fastest elevator he had ever taken; the ascent speed was faster than free fall!

But even so, it was still over ten minutes later before the two reached the top floor.
