Chapter 261 - An Angel

He said to him when he saw that Colin wasn't taking the remedy : "Are you afraid that I will poison you ?"

Colin chuckled and told him : "No, it's just that I've never heard of such a remedy and my brain is working in slow motion ... Are you sure about this ?"

Mykael said to him a little annoyed : "Stop thinking too much ... I have already seen this remedy in action and I'm sure it is very effective ... You will see, you will feel much better after taking it."

Colin after hearing that he was getting impatient didn't hesitate anymore and he drank the remedy that Mykael had brought him.

He closed his eyes and let himself lean against him with a sigh of well-being : "Stay with me for a while, will you ?"

Mykael said to him as he helped him lie down and layed down next to him so that he could take him in his arms : "I will stay with you until I'm sure you're sleeping, and don't worry, I've sealed your door, no one but me can enter."

Colin thanked him and he snuggled into his arms, he would have liked to enjoy the feeling of his arms embracing him a little longer but he knew well that it was only because he had weakened considerably to poison Lilith's body that Mykael treated him this way.

As he felt his headache fade away, he finally fell back to sleep peacefully, and when Mykael was sure he had fallen asleep, he moved away from him while still holding him and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that his face had returned to its natural caramel color.

Colin had short curly blond hair, a skin color that stayed naturally tanned all year round and he had eyes that had always fascinated him with their different shades of color.

The outline of his irises was azure, then there was pale green and finally a brown so light it sometimes looked golden.

Colin was also the smallest of his men and he only reached his shoulders. But his size didn't reflect his fighting abilities and all those who had underestimated him had always paid dearly.

Looking at him, he thought back to what Kevin had said about Axel having an intuition for finding people with extraordinary talents, and that intuition must have come from him because he too had always been able to find extraordinary talents and Colin was one of them.

He had met him not so long ago, at least for an immortal God like him, because it must have been a little over 500 years ago now.

Colin at that time was just 12 year old and he was living in an apocalyptic world where he had to survive alone since he was 8 when his parents were killed.

His world had been wiped out by radioactive weapons that had decimated 90% of the population and then the humans who had survived had to fight against animals that had been genetically modified by these radioactive rays and had become much stronger than the humans who had survived.

In addition to having to fight against these animals that had become real monsters, the humans of that world were constantly on the move trying to find food and water.

Colin had probably been affected by those rays too and his genes must have been altered or perhaps he already had this power but it had been amplified after his prolonged exposure to radioactivity, in any case he was the only human he knew who could see him through his force field.

Even his son-in-law wasn't able to see him, he could feel his presence, which was already exceptional in itself, but Colin the day he had met him, while his force field was activated, had shouted at him to flee.

The kid he was still at that time had defended him alone against 5 monsters who were totally unable to see him through his force field and which were there only by chance.

Colin had thought that he was in danger and he intervened using all his strength in the battle. He knew already how to use the spiritual energy around him back then and he was already using his ice spikes to attack.

After the battle that he had watched with astonishment, when Colin had turned to him completely exhausted, he had told him that an angel had nothing to do here in this hell and that he had to go back quickly from where he came, and just after he had said that to him, he had collapsed.

He had caught him in time and then he had marked him at once making him one of his men. Normally he always let the men choose whether they wanted to join him or not, but Colin was an exception, and he hadn't even hesitated for a second before marking him.

After resetting his world, he had brought him in his palace and he had taken care of him himself, after all he was still only a kid.

His men were initially skeptical when he brought him back with him but it didn't take Colin long to impress them all and gain their trust and respect.

He had made Colin first trained intensively with his best fighters, even though he was obviously a mage, he wanted him to be able to fight with weapons as well as with his spells.

And then when he turned 18, he sent him to a world full of spiritual energy for an intensive mage training.

Colin was the first and only mage he ever recruited and he never regretted it, Colin wasn't only able to see through force fields created by Gods, he was also the only one of his men who could see the impenetrable barriers.

Colin had trained hard and had proven that he was worthy of being among his men, and they had quickly accepted him as one of them and everyone liked him very much.

He had also confessed his feelings for him on several occasions, the boy had guts and was tenacious and he had to admit that he liked that about him.

And although at first he hadn't taken his feelings seriously by telling him that it wasn't love that he felt for him but admiration and recognition, he had to admit that he was wrong because Colin even now that Axel had appeared, had once again confessed his feelings to him.

He caressed his face tenderly and Colin reopened his eyes surprised, he relaxed immediately when he saw that it was Mykael who was still there and he asked him : "Do you want to ask me something ?"
