Chapter 119 - Zariel

Returning to Azarphy and Arabeth who was on the second floor of the library.

"This is really a core of an Array," Arabeth said seeing the great portal with a five-pointed star as the portal's base.

Usually, a normal dimensional portal would just be a medium-sized door almost similar to a human door, but this portal was the size of giants and still had a base formed by five seven-pointed stars overlapping each other at different angles.

"Hey, are you going to destroy this?" Arabeth asked Azarphy that he was silent. As the two were acting invisibly they could not see each other as they were of different species and had different energies, only when they spoke or decided to manifest could they notice each other.

Well, that only applied at Arabeth and Emery's level because they were so much weaker than Azarphy. Azarphy was very strong and didn't have these restrictions between species.

Azarphy didn't respond and caught Arabeth suddenly hugging him, the angel's body was large and the power overwhelming, Arabeth did not even have a chance to fight and found himself trapped in the fallen angel's embrace.

"Hey!" Arabeth protested and continued to struggle in Azarphy's embrace..

"Quiet, someone is coming," Azarphy said in an icy tone that made Arabeth shiver with fear, but he stopped struggling. If an archangel of war is being cautious, then the one who would be coming must be someone formidable.

Azarphy smiled mischievously, but Arabeth could not see. Someone really was coming, but there was no need for Azarphy to embrace Arabeth. However, Azarphy wanted to get some meat from the tsun-tsun demon marquis.

"Isn't this a fallen angel?" Arabeth asked suddenly seeing the figure with dark wings like an eagle, though he couldn't see the figure of the angel in detail dark aura with a touch of holy energy this could only be a fallen angel.

"Zariel" Azarphy spoke looking lightly at the fallen angel figure. Unlike Arabeth, Azarphy could see the details of the angel, he soon identified the battle angel who held the position of lieutenant but who had committed treason and was banished to hell.

Azarphy wasn't the only fallen angel who was banished to the human dimension, he was the only one who was a powerful archangel, plus his punishment was light compared to those who were exiled in horrible dimensions to the angels.

The human dimension could be considered a neutral zone for many of the alien species, despite the penalty of having diminished power, but it had nothing harmful to endanger their existence.

Like the dimension of Hell or the dimension of Nether where nothing but cosmic mass could exist peacefully.

"I thought Zariel was trapped in the abyss prison," Arabeth commented quietly. Zariel was a famous name in hell, rumors said he was as handsome as the god of nature and a genius in combat, furthermore, his crime was so severe that Satan himself and the God of Light created a single prison. for him in hell.

A crime so heavy that it made the enemy gods come to terms with his arrest, this was very shocking and it increased curiosity about what Zariel had done to receive such a heavy sentence.

Although there were no rumors or news about Zariel's crime, which made it all the more mysterious and caught the attention of any demon Zariel's prison was in the abyss, a place that even demons dared not approach lightly.

"I thought the same, but he seems to be very comfortable here and in hell," Azarphy said with sarcasm, clearly mocking the demons' weak discipline.

Zariel, who had not noticed the presence of Azarphy and Arabeth calmly floated before the portal of hell. Zariel had long blond hair and porcelain skin, bright and delicate eyes, a sweet smile, and a mean nose in his diamond face.

The fallen archangel blatantly wore his human form casually.

He was different from strong angel soldiers and weak guardian angels, his bearing was heroic and had an intellectual charm. His human form was very beautiful, of course, still incomparable to his angel form, but delicate enough that he felt satisfied looking at himself in the mirror.

"I can only use this form for now," Zariel thought, regretting that he couldn't display his beauty freely.

He thought that even with that "average" appearance, he was still the most handsome in that abbey.

Author: (...)

Bao: Do ​​you tell him?

Author: Shiii, don't say anything, let him be deceived.

Bao: But the master...

Author: Shiiiu!

Emery: *looks confused at the two whisperings*

Zariel held up a communication stone and injected some sacred energy into the stone.

"Sir, the portal is ready," Zariel said in his velvety voice.

"It's not the time yet. When the red planet shines the strongest, then you can activate the Array." The voice was a man's, but it looked like it was being modified by magic, so it was hard to tell the age and tone of the voice.

Zariel even exchanged a few words with the man before turning off the communication stone.

A few minutes later, Zariel left.

"What do we do?" Arabeth asked after he no longer felt Zariel's presence.

"I want to know who is the master behind Zariel...How could an insect defy my father's order (God of Light)! I want to know who it is and obliterate them all... How dare they..." Azarphy said in an indifferent way, but Arabeth felt fear because he could feel the fallen angel's sacred energy turn violent.

"Are you going to tell the human?" Arabeth asked. He didn't want Emery to know about it and get involved. What could a human do against a dangerous plot between heaven and hell?

"It's better to say to prevent him from getting involved without knowing," Azarphy said quickly calming down, he didn't even notice how calm he had become just thinking about how Emery would react to the news. Would the human react unexpectedly, as with everything he had done so far?

This made Azarphy curious and he felt less furious at the thought of reuniting with the human.

"About the Great Demon Marquis... Let's pay him a visit and warn him not to get close to the human" Azarphy continued to speak, he didn't want another demon around. He had a feeling that Emery would welcome the great demon marquis if they were allowed to meet, Azarphy could not tolerate any more competition.

"But... if the human wants to meet him?"

"Then I'll just have to obliterate the demon," Azarphy said simply, but it made Arabeth shiver like an angry kitten.

"You!"

"Don't worry, you're human bound, so I'm not going to do anything to you... Not to mention, you might be carrying my child..."

"You!" Arabeth was speechless to get angry later, he wanted to hit that feathered and arrogant bird!

Azarphy felt his mood lighten after teasing Arabeth a little.

On the other hand, in the cabin Mattias Basile was watching Bryan sleep, the rain had calmed down enough for him to run to the cabin with some food, as tomorrow would be an important day for the abbey.

He got there and the cabin was not lit, he only saw the pitch, and the thunder dimly lit Bryan's face as he slept on a straw mat wrapped in various shiny and expensive fabrics.

Which was a strange irony, but the flashy, glittering luxury hurt the eyes of the abbey elders so it was thrown here.

Of course, not everything was thrown away and some things were kept to be given as gifts to lovers or to nobles as gifts of courtesies, but nothing that was the light of day.

Always in the shadows and always maintaining a facade of humility and false sincerity.

Mattias turned on a lighting item that dimly lit the place that was cold because of the rain and the autumn weather, the dark-skinned elf shivering under all those colorful clothes.

The young novice put his raincoat to drain along with his straw hat in a corner, his hem was a little wet but most of his clothes were dry.

He put food on the table, bread, wineskin, and a big red apple, that's what he managed to steal after everyone retired to rest.

Mattias stole some fever herbs that he could put to make tea or knead and put in some food for better effect. Unfortunately, he had no hot water and no soup to mix the herbs.

He felt a little silly bringing the herbs like that, but he could ask Bryan to eat them raw anyway, isn't it like they had a lot of options?

The young man touched the quivering sleeping elf's forehead, he was a little feverish, so he looked at the wounds that looked clean and nothing was out of place.

"It could be the loss of blood or the cold" Mattias thought, hesitating whether or not to wake the dark elf.

He watched for a while and decided to shake the boy's shoulder to wake him up and make him chew the herbs, at least that would prevent him from having a fever later either from the cold or the wounds.
