When Jack returned to Thereath to use the Monarch System, Tip inford him that Warpath had secured the hero token. It was right on ti because Uruk had fallen several battles earlier. Guild heroes and guild units didn't enjoy the protection of the Chapel of Resurrection. When they died, it was permanent.
The hero token Warpath's team procured was a legendary grade, so they had a 10% chance of summoning an eternal-grade guild hero. That was under normal conditions. With Jack's Godly luck stat, the probability increased further. That's why they waited for Jack to return before using the hero token.
During the ti Jack was inside Chris' training dungeon, he continuously used his Runestone of Spellcasting. His Runecraft's skill had leveled up to Advanced Master. He could now increase his luck stat even higher using his willpower during the activation of the Runestone of Luck.
With the incredible boost of luck stat, Jack successfully summoned an eternal-grade hero for the guild. While they rejoiced at getting the highest-grade hero, one thing about this summoned hero surprised them. This one thing was the hero's race. Normally, a summoned guild hero ca from one of the seven main races. They had confird this with the other guilds who had also used hero tokens. No one ever got heroes with races other than from the seven main races. The exception was the infernal hero token Jack procured, which gave them a demon-race hero.
While they were surprised by the hero's race, soone in the current battle was also surprised for the sa reason. His surprise was even greater than the players when he learned of the guild hero's race.

Honuren's lightning titan suit was in shamble. It was still in effect, but its effectiveness was very much reduced after receiving Satan's repeated assaults. Under the Fla Rage buff, Satan's every attack had a high chance of wounding.
Honuren cast a spell that created multiple chain explosions that dealt soul damage. The spell stopped Satan's movents and gave an opening for his lightning titan suit to deliver a hard punch that forced Satan back. He then used the reprieve to channel mana manipulation to repair his lightning titan suit.
When Satan was about to lunge back, a flash of light drew his attention. His flaming spear, which had transford into a flaming buckler, blocked a speeding light that was about to crash into him. The speeding light bounced and revealed itself to be a winged man.
"What…?!" Satan uttered when he had a good look at the attacker.
The man wore dium armor that covered most of his body. On his back was a pair of shining feathery wings. The man's face was similar to the ethereal race. He had no mouth, and his eyes were without pupils. However, while ethereal had dark skin, this man's skin was bright. The brightness was because the skin was emitting light. It was as if the man himself was made of light.
Satan paused when he saw this glowing man. It took him a breath before he said, "A true angel…? I thought your kind was already extinct… Wait, you are not a real native."
After using his Inspect, Satan knew the angel before him was a guild hero.
This guild hero was Everlasting Heavenly Legend's newest eternal-grade hero. His na was Thanael. He was classified as an angel. Not the sa as the angel summoned from Priest's spell. When Jack asked Peniel after summoning Thanael, Peniel explained that Thanael was a true angel. A hidden major race outside of the seven main races.
Later, after Jack returned to Chris' secret garden, Jack told Wilted about Thanael. She was as surprised as the others who saw Thanael for the first ti. She said there should not be an angel race in the ga program. Angels should only exist as summoned creatures. When they asked Chris about this, the guy only smiled but otherwise said nothing about the subject.
Thanael was level 95. He was originally level 94, following Jack's level when Jack used the hero token. He increased one level after Jack used mana cores on the Hero Altar. At such a high level, the hero's level could only be increased one ti using this thod. Peniel even said if the summoned hero was level 95 or above, the hero could no longer be leveled up using mana cores.
As an eternal-grade guild hero, Thanael possessed three passive effects on the guild units. The first effect was a 20% increase in damage, defense, and the stats of all guild units. The second was all guild units received a 15% damage reduction when receiving attacks from undead, darkness, or demon units. The third effect had all the guild units' weapons to be constantly blessed with Paladin's level 10 sacred fla. If a guild unit possessed the sacred fla skill, the skill's effect was added.
During combat, these three passive effects were doubled for all guild units within a 50-ter radius of Thanael.
Satan was surprised to learn about Thanael's race, but his surprised expression lasted only an instant.
"Harhar, I thought that despicable race had co back to life, but you are just a vestige of their existence. Let snuff your light out!"
The flaming buckler in Satan's hands transford back into a hamr. He no longer targeted Honuren. With Thanael's appearance, his focus had shifted. That was because a true angel was a demon's natural enemy. Thanael had a passive ability to purify the mana in his vicinity. Hence, demons that fought Thanael would beco uncomfortable and weakened after a long fight. This was because the corrupted mana was no longer available in the surroundings. In this way, a true angel would always be superior when fighting a demon of the sa level and grade.
This ability didn't bother the devil so much, though.
Thanael zood to the side using Air Skate when Satan's flaming hamr ca. He then counterattacked using his weapon, a white lance. The thrust of his lance generated a white beam of light that hit Satan's shoulder. The beam failed to penetrate Satan's protective layer, but it caused the runic symbols at the hit area to waver. Thanael's attacks also had a purifying ability.
Satan kept swinging his flaming hamrs, but Thanael had a swift flight maneuver. Thanael continued dodging Satan's attacks until he suddenly sensed a giant flaming hand right behind him. This flaming hand was about to grab him.
Thanael was unable to dodge the flaming hand. If he did, he would be smashed by Satan's hamr, which was swinging at him from the front. Luckily, a golden lightning net appeared and halted the flaming hand. At the sa ti, Honuren's already repaired lightning titan suit ca slamming at Satan. This let Thanael fly away to safety. He let Honuren fight Satan while he cast a spell.
"You are asking for another beating?" Satan mocked Honuren.
He shoved one hand to grab Honuren's lightning titan suit. His hand was assailed by strong electricity, but he didn't appear perturbed. The flaming hamr in his other hand transford again. This ti, it beca a flaming claw. Satan used this claw to repeatedly maul the titan lightning suit, tearing its lightning energy apart bit by bit with every strike. The already repaired suit had holes everywhere again.
Satan's attention was drawn to Thanael, who was casting. The spell formation of the spell he was casting had reached the sixth rune. He had a bad feeling about the angel. He decided not to underestimate the situation. He violently slamd the titan lightning suit he was still grabbing into the ground. All the while ignoring the spells Honuren threw at him from inside the suit. His runic defensive suit greatly mitigated the damage.
He was about to rush at Thanael, but a strong explosion distracted him. He turned and saw remnants of massive turbulent energy not far away. From that direction, he saw Eoranth was like a teor charging at him. Honuren, who was still down on the ground, sighed. Eoranth ended up using his secret offensive skill to break away from the demons surrounding him.
Satan erected a fire wall. The fire wall had runic symbols covering its surface. It broke apart and its flas extinguished when Eoranth crashed into it, but it stopped the dragon's charge.
Eoranth was still under the Celestial Dragon Lifeforce, while Satan still had his Fla Rage. The two traded blows again. Although Eoranth's boost was greater than Satan's fla rage, Satan was still superior. Eoranth was beaten back again, but Honuren ca at Satan from the rear. With the two attacking from opposite sides, they managed to keep Satan busy until Thanael completed his spell.
Thanel's completed spell formation had nine runes in it! When the spell was cast, the sky above roiled and beca stormy. The clouds abruptly parted ways, showing a well of light from heaven. The light from this well intensified until it burst into a thick pillar of light that shot downward. Runic symbols were seen along the surface of this pillar as it shot down.
This massive pillar of light headed directly to where Satan, Eoranth, and Honuren were fighting.
