121 C120 Angels Remorse

His grip like a vice as he held against the woman. His eyes were full of sorrow as he knew the similar kind of anger and rage she was going through during his required revenge. While he thought himself innocent of the crimes he committed he knew ignorance was no excuse.

The sword still deep inside his stomach as he felt the pain spreading rapidly as his power continued to leak from him at a rapid rate. His might was holding onto the angel as she struggled. Trying to use her power to slice her way free.

Gripping tightly on her shoulder as he knew he would regret this. His pressure was increasing by a considerable margin as he crushed her shoulder. The bones cracking as the sound of shattering bones echoed in the valley, followed by the screams of the woman.

"Sorry, Annie. I do not have time for this. I have a life to save."

The woman was already screaming her lungs out as she lost grip on the sword. Her arm going limp after her shoulder had gotten destroyed. She felt her rage peaking as she tried to use her other hand to reach out and grab the blade to do even more damage.

It was a shame since Nathan had already grabbed her other should and repeated the process as the sounds of bone-shattering echoed through the valley as no one around saw the horrific scene.

"You bastard. Scum. I will destroy you!"

Her words were spitting venom as she struggled in pain. Unable to do much now that her arms had gotten destroyed. Her powers mostly ranged and unable to fire at such proximity.

Tears were rolling down her eyes as she had gotten defeated so quickly. While she stopped struggling as she stared at him with hate.

"Finish me. Why are you waiting?"

Her voice still full of hate as she stared at the man. Wondering why he had not finished the job. It would be so easy to end her life compared to waiting as he did now.

"I'm not like I used to be. You may not believe me, but I've changed in some way. I'm still not a great person, but I think I'm better after the last few weeks. So I can't kill you, and I won't kill you."

Nathan continued as the white power leaking from his eyes expanded in scope. The wounds on his body healing up as the sword removed itself without any help from Nathan as the power inside automatically removed the foreign object.

His energy surrounding the area as the dirt rumbled before patches of green sprung free. Trees, bushes and life itself springing around them both. Eventually, the vines crawling over the angel as they wrapped around the woman before the power slowly poured into the woman's wounds while also trying her down so she could not fly away.

"I've made it so these vines will slowly heal the wounds you have. You will be fine in about thirty minutes."

Pulling away as he felt his body aching in pain. His power had decreased by such a massive amount by playing it risky to not just kill this woman. He felt his head shaking in disbelief as he walked past the woman and towards the hole in the pillar.

"Nathan!"

The shout stopping him as he turned to the cocooned woman. Her eyes were blazing with fire as she struggled in pain. Annoyed by this as her wings were unable to cast magic due to the restraints.

"If you hurt those children. I will either kill you or die trying!"

Stopping for a moment, turning to face the woman as he felt guilt hitting him again. Looking at her with shame as he smiled.

"I won't harm them. I saved the kids with my effort. I have no plans other than to let them grow up safe. Sevil impressed me with such kindness that made me want to help him back. I understand why you are with him now. Please stand by his side, Annie."

Turning as he used his powers to heal her wounds with no time limit as he removed the vines as he was taking a leap of faith. He gave her a small bow.

"I can't say sorry enough for the treatment you received. I will have a place by me always for you in Sanctuary. I will also have a place for Sevil no matter what."

Annie looked towards the sword having the opportunity to fight again as her arms felt better than new. Her eyes were watching the man as she bit down onto her bottom lip as she was unsure of continuing.

"Annie, If I die then the entire town of Sanctuary dies. So if you kill me, then everyone also goes down as the powers will lose control before eventually fading."

Closing his eyes as he opened his arm before he looked back to her with his arms wide open. His intention clear as he shouted.

"Annie, I won't kill you. I will not put pain through those kids who you look after. If you want to kill me go ahead as I will not stop you."

The time slowed down as Annie felt divided into both points, eyes looking down at the sword as her hand moved slowly to pick up the blade as no blood remained on the blood to show the lack of humanity in the man who she stabbed.

Even if she killed him would it even matter? He was the Creator God and made this entire world. Did it even matter that an immortal angel like herself tried to defy the heavens?

She had to resolve herself to either of the choices. Her mind struggling until it finally hit her. She did not need to kill the man or accept his new form. She could do both together.

She could do one of the ancient rituals.

"Nathan. Form a contract with me."
