Chapter 14: Angel's Beauty

"An… angel?"

There was an angel under the glass— like a capsule.

"What's an angel doing here?" Darius muttered.

"But… isn't it weird?"

"What is?"

"We don't know why but we know this girl is an angel," Brax stated.

"Isn't this because of the aura around this capsule?"

"Maybe…" Brax looked at the capsule and muttered, "She is beautiful."

"That's an angel for you. They are carefully crafted by gods."

"She is more beautiful than Emilia… like 100 times more beautiful, or maybe even more."

Darius slid his hand on the glass and licked his lips, then said, "Now we know the difference between the fake angel and the real angel."

Brax glanced at Darius and tried to say something but stopped after seeing the look on Darius' face.

"Emilia was nothing compared to this beauty," added Darius.

Darius then looked at Brax and reached his hand towards him.

"What?" questioned Brax.

"Give me the ax."

Brax gave the ax to Darius and asked, "What are you going to do with it?"

Darius grabbed the ax while saying, "what else? I am going to break this capsule and take this angel out."

Darius Swung his ax at the capsule-- but Brax grabbed Darius' hand and stopped him.

"Wait! What are you doing?" Brax yelled.

"Are you deaf or something? I just said I am going to take this angel out."

"What if she attacks us? This isn't Emilia who was useless. This angel might attack us," Brax grabbed Darius' collar and continued, "And even a so-called S-rank like you can't win against a real angel!"

Darius put down his ax and pondered, "But… what if she doesn't wake up? She is sealed here, so I don't think she will wake up until someone unseals her."

"But what if this capsule is the seal—?!"

Suddenly, the glass of the capsule started breaking. Darius and Brax glanced at each other, then looked at the capsule and jumped back in fear.

"I told you! See, the glass is breaking!" Brax lamented.

"Stop shouting, and get ready to fight,"

"Fight? Are you an idiot? There is no way we can win against a real angel."

Brax was never suited to become an adventurer, and he only became one to get his hands on the girls.

The crack on the capsule widened and widened, then eventually broke, and the angel's body hovered in the air before falling to the ground.

Brax and Darius stared at the angel for some time, then looked at each other and nodded. Brax slowly walked to the angel, and Darius followed him.

"Is she awake?" Darius asked.

"No… her eyes are closed, and the aura feels a lot lesser now."

"Is she dead?"

"Who knows? Do angels breathe? Do they have a heart?"

They walked a little more closer to the angel.

"The only angel I have seen and met is… was Emilia, and she was a half-angel."

Brax stopped and looked at Darius, then asked with a curious look on his face, "Do you think Emilia is dead?"

"Of course she is! We killed her, remember?"

"But do 'you' think she is dead? I mean, she was a half-angel. They can't die by getting stabbed, do they?"

"Sadly," Darius aimed his sword at the angel and spoke, "We can't go back and see if she 'is' really dead or not."

"My guess is that some demons ate her."

"Heh!" Darius scoffed.

"What was that about? Did I pass a joke or something?"

Darius shook his head and said, "No, but it was funnier than a joke."

"What do you mean?"

"You really 'are' stupid, aren't you?" Darius looked at Brax and chuckled, "If an angel's blood kills demons, do you think the demons can eat angel's flesh?"

"Oh!" Brax's eyes widened in realization. "But what if a dead angel's blood or flesh has no effect on demons? I mean, we took her blood while she was alive, so it's still working."

Darius looked at Brax with a confused look on his face, "How come you are that stupid?"

"Shut up!"

They walked to the angel and finally saw her entire body.

"So… beautiful."

She was jade-like beauty with silver hair and wearing a single white dress.

Darius moved his hand towards the angel's face with a wicked smile on his face.

"What are you trying to do?" Brax questioned.

"What else? Look at her face… her body. It's inviting me to violate her."

"Are you out of your mind?! She is an angel!"

Darius stopped and looked at Brax, then said with a serious look on his face, "Brax, you and I, we both are womanizers. We have tasted all kinds of women of all the possible races."

"Don't you think… we should try this angel?" he added.

"But what if she wakes up?"

"Who cares? And you should know that once we are inside them, they can't help but submit to us."

Brax looked at the angel's face, then moved his gaze down slowly to her legs.

"You are right. Hell, I won't even give a fuck if I get killed by this angel," He licked his lips and continued, "My death would be worth it."

They both looked at each other, then smirked widely and let go of their weapons.

Darius moved his hand towards the angel's face and touched her lips.

"They are so soft."

THUD! THUMP!

Brax looked back to see demons walking towards them. He shook Darius and grabbed his weapon. "The demons are here! How did they get here so suddenly?"

"Get ready—" Brax glanced at Darius, but Darius was still touching the angel's face.

"What the hell are you doing?! Pick up your weapon, or we will get killed!"

The demons dashed at them. Brax jumped and decapitated all the demons in his way. While Darius was still touching the angel's face.

"Darius!" Brax shouted.

Some demons dashed at Darius while Brax kept yelling, but Darius paid no attention. He was enchanted by the angel's beauty.

Darius grabbed his sword without looking back and slashed the demons, then stood up as he looked at Brax.

"Why are you disturbing me?!"

"Snap out of it!"

More demons appeared and rushed to Darius and Brax. Darius looked furious and dashed into the horde of the demons. Brax did the same.

They killed all the present demons, but more demons appeared.

"Where are they coming from?!" Darius yelled.

Darius took out the bottle and smeared it all over his sword.

"Pass it to me."

Darius passed the bottle.

With Emilia's blood coated on their weapons, all they had to do is touch the demons with the weapons, and they would disintegrate into nothing.

"Hey… Brax, is it just me, or are they too much of them?"

"You are right."

The demons surrounded them from the sides, and Brax and Darius couldn't do anything but keep their weapons up.

After a while, the demons dashed at them. Darius and Brax killed as many demons as they could, but they eventually got outnumbered and slammed to the wall.

Brax tried to take out the bottle but noticed that the bottle had fallen down when they were slammed to the wall.

They both started sweating and looked at the angel lying on the ground beside them, then looked at the bottle lying in the center of the chamber.

After glancing between the angel and the bottle a couple of times, they both nodded to each other. Brax dashed at the angel with an ax in his hand and raised it to cut the angel's head.

BOOM! BANG!

"..." Brax stopped and looked in the direction of the noise.

SWOOSH!

The demons and Darius also turned their gazes to the sound.

SNAP~

All the demons present in the room disappeared after the snap, and there stood a handsome young man with nothing but rage on his face— looking at Brax and Darius.
