36.1_Unresloved woes
Chapter 36.1: Responsibilities of a shrine maiden[Furcas’s Pov]The witch's child has changed so completely that I hardly recognize the same weeping child I saw at the witch's farewell. Of course, I resent that witch's desire to pollute our Ars Goetia's bloodline with that strange aura. Heck, I'd prefer he court an angel rather than that witch.Seeing the once-potential knight transform into that strange vortex of power, I would have claimed him as my kin, but he now appears to belong to someone else. I've always had a strange fear of the angel...the Saudade's sovereign.The tiny vial of antidote, huh... Akin appears to be strong enough to have produced such effective anti-potions from the white snake's skin. I recall how that child would cling to my feet whenever a large beast appeared in front of us.The flavor is quite minty; perhaps he used a different diet when making it; I'm tired of the basil flavor for the time being."Mahtsa Buer, the position of apprentice knight. And final

36.2_Leftover karma
Chapter 36.2: Shinobi’s woes------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Angel’s blood: There was a myth that a drop of blood from an angel can greatly purify mortal sins…which is greatly wronged. Angel’s blood contains an alarming of light magic so mortals will be addicted when consuming even one drop. For demons how every, angel’s blood is a great delicacy for recovering a soul’s energy because of how dense in raw mana it contained. Depending on the affected one, the angel’s blood will change its scent to the target's most memorable scent.“Dokueki style: Kurosupoizun”: use only by Shin Andromalius, god of poison. Creating a cross area of poison where ever life is constantly withering to the point of death. If the target is at the center of the cross, they will be badly cut by the blade of the poisoned god, deemed vulnerable to exposed venom“Dokueki style: Mahisaseru”: use only by Shin Andromalius, god of poison

37_Last resort
Chapter 37: Amalgadon preparationAfter Shin’s situation is resolved as he finally accepts his identity as a half-demon and half foreign god, he has been…talkative. Day in and night out, he has been quite attentive to my need and often makes me of going to sleep but I find it too cumbersome rather thankful.cIt isn’t like Andromalius's strange kind of adornment to me, they are rather impulsive acts of protection as something as actively trying to prove himself over the new power and authority that he has been given. When are you going to return Andromalius?As for the banquet, Uriel has asked me to confirm and celebrate her rebellion. I am not sure how to say this, it’s still come as a surprise so many of them are dissatisfied with pa so much that they have formed a secret rebellion against him.The banquet will take place in Lambert’s mountain range near the garden of promise, it was hard time to discuss for the four of us to discuss where to hold it as Saudade isn’t suited for them

38_Reason for betrayal
Chapter 38: Traitor’s banquet‘Supernatet’: The spell comes from the imitation of beasts using the force of the wind to travel with the sky without the need for wings. It used is to suspense the user from falling further at the current casting height, some said it to compare to a falling feather or leaf.After the two weeks that Andromalius has been back in the office, the place has finally calmed with his presence as my caretaker. I probably give him too much work as the title should have been. What is the caretaker’s duty anyway?To carry out mundane works? No, that’s a steward. To take care of the sovereign? Then why need still the healer from the church, and Andromalius the one being healed rather than me? How about carrying my duty in my place and carrying out my work…yes, a chancellor of a sort.Remembering the head angel used to say something along the line of my former future as the human kingdom chancellor. I never caught the meaning of it, now I see what devotion drives them

39_Necessary sacrifice
Chapter 39: A withering heart“Let all rewind a bit, shall we?” Lambert shouts overwhelmed by our proposals, I guess he has to give a little scare to give him a real reality of war. When the tide is high, you may have to face your once-closed allies on the battlefield.…I don’t intend to die at all. If you have asked me before accepting that deal with Kryos, I would have answered to forfeit my life for the greater good. For the aimless homunculus I once was, it no longer existed in this world so a decision must be reached and Sariel must fall. “The youth have been quite witting at sacrificing their kin, haven’t they?” Matasyn chuckles at the cynicism of the situation, for him to sacrifice the lover and the former branch of his life for an uncertain cause only to be followed by the suggestion that has an equal or even greater value than his.“Telling a sob story won’t help either, ancient being. You should look at a tactical standpoint rather than just release the miserable one in unf

44.2_Second Tragedy
Chapter 44.2: Distrusted bond[Contain “gore”. Proceed with cautious][Weapon master]: An authority of the sepharim of strength Gabriel. It makes me attune to any weapon and fighting style at an instance? I don’t trust its effect very much, since it doesn’t help me to reach the strength to fight evenly with Mikhail. Heck if Camael doesn’t train me that much, it would be useless to use this to shorten anything.[Absolute obidence]: An authority of the sepharim of strength Gabriel. An authority that makes everyone see me as friendly…That is what I know about it, Mikhail said something about communicate surpass any boundaries. Well, at least it would help me in helping my brother get away from punishment from Father.[Messager of death]: They said the third authority comes from my own personality but I don’t know what even is this. But quickly got replaced by a new one so I guess it was incompatible with me.[Blood dominator]: The authority to gain control of every kind of blood, so also

40_Midnight's bell
Chapter 40: Same but different{Andromalius’s pov, The full moon of the twelfth moon]Ever since that banquet ended, Mikhail has been locking himself in the office with the paperwork and studies. Having heard from the Librarian, they have been borrowing so many strategy scrolls and tactic books. It’s worrisome that they won’t share the burden with us at least.“What the matter, growing weak now Anromalius?” The spark between our weapons clashing has woken me from the constant dutiful thinking of being what best chancellor I would make.To be honest, this exchange of power between me and Furcas is nothing but a minor distraction from the lack of work because of their overbearing nature taking over since the return.It is scornful still to see that even when returning the power from the distant prime, Furcas has combusted the mana hastily. Even as a weapon maker, his form is still lacking far too much fr

41.1_Beyond the capsule
Chapter 41.1: Setting up for an uproarThese last few weeks have drained most of my sanity along the way, though Matasyn’s plan was simple as having him set up the corresponding mythical beasts around Barachiel’s domain for nullification, it is still somehow ambiguous with many questions left unanswered.Why hasn’t he done it much earlier when the time was less complicated before, I mean it was the six archangels’ time before, so why doesn’t he do it before Sariel establish the twelve angels’ system?Was it always twelve or there was a time the number was much larger, there is some missing when I think of it clearly. I mean there were twelve in the time of primordial.“Tomorrow is the full moon of the first moon, how time flies.” Andromalius’s sigh breaks the silent atmosphere. Certainly, it doesn’t take the whole world’s knowledge to ignore how Andromalius has changed in t

41.2_Shattered snowglobe
Chapter 41.2: Goodbye my dear[Zadkiel/Matasyn POV]“Lambert, I think that is enough. The robe won’t shine anymore, it has been almost a thousand years after all.” The giant keeps on gentle caress my old white robe, it’s useless after all. If the youths haven’t been so demanding, my plan would have been so easily done.Poisoning Rose with a living creature she loved, the younger one said it was too cruel so I have to change something that causes more “resistance” effect. How hypocritical that one is, to call the same method that it used to cause the death of my “dearest brother” to compare to mine as cruel.The homunculus is really something to be fearful of, it single-handedly executed that sacrilegious inquisitor and swing the high elf priestess to its side with little effort.Not having witnessed its battle wholely, I still can’t comprehend what kind of gift it

42_Knived allies
Chapter 42: Necessary babbling[Gabriel’s Pov]“Gabriel! Where are you now?” Shouting the voice irritated from the end of the hallway, just I finally disconnect the bond between me and my brother. Up until lately, Mikhail has been popular with the known “traitorous archangel”. Such a thing to be opposed to Mikhail and his lighted mercy.At first, I recall having heard he would have sacrificed me by putting me to sleep comfortably, which is too merciful of him on the enemy against his ideal and yet again I find it grateful that he always has a place for this abandoned brother.I do not blame him, that is for certain because that is what Mikhail deserves to have. For that guilt and hurtfulness in our “childhood”. I am forever grateful even if it is for just a moment. I always wish to embrace him in his smaller form.“Gabriel!” Camael brags in my room as the door collapses
