A Pure White Angel with six wings spread open in mid-air, standing alongside another golden-haired Angel, who also bore six wings on his back.

Lady Sophia had truly kept her word; she had brought nearly all the Church's elite forces in one fell swoop, evidently planning to sweep through in one wave without needing a second.
With so many Angels and Clerics gathered, their resonating Holy Light was dazzling, almost as if a second sun had appeared in the sky, casting the city below into a blanket of whiteness.
