Volume 3: Angel Sanctuary Arc
Chapter 14: The True Beginning
The battlefield, previously in chaos, was now eerily quiet, only a black box at the center remaining. Doris struggled to her feet.
“I can’t use healing divine arts, I can only temporarily create a heart-like structure for you…”
“I’m still alive.”
Doris looked at the glowing core in her chest and sighed. Xia, after healing Doris, used her remaining divine power to climb the cliff.
She looked at Peronice, the Pride Witch, impaled on the cliff by five silver spears, and began to climb, her hands finding purchase in the rock. She easily reached Peronice.
“Hey, are you still alive…?”
“…”
“Witches are so resilient…”
Peronice couldn’t speak, but her fingers twitched. Xia waved a hand in front of her face, then grasped one of the spears. White smoke rose from her palm, the spear burning hot.
“The magic density is too high…”
Xia pulled out the spear, and a surge of magic power filled the battlefield. After removing all five spears, Peronice fell from the cliff. Xia jumped down and, seeing she was still breathing, sat down, exhausted.
“Witches are terrifying…”
She looked at Peronice, whose wounds were already healing. Although her face was expressionless, she was worried about Luo Yuxi.
Meanwhile, in the Angelic Kingdom, Luo Yuxi walked down the street, her beauty and alluring figure drawing the attention of every angel and harpy.
“A mere human pet, daring to make her master wait~!”
“S-Sorry, please don’t hurt me…”
Luo Yuxi, collared and shackled, looked pitiful, tears streaming down her face. Sarivee led her by a chain. The sight of such a beautiful human pet was a rare spectacle.
“Isn’t that Lady Sarivee? I thought she was missing.”
“You must be mistaken. I heard she was on a secret mission~”
“But that pet is so smooth, I wonder what it would feel like to be wrapped in those legs…”
“Her pink hair and eyes are so beautiful, she’s a high-quality product. But she looks familiar…”
…
Luo Yuxi, feeling their lewd gazes, saw the gate just a few dozen meters away.
“Good, just like this. A successfully captured pet. I’m a genius~”
Luo Yuxi feigned despair, but inwardly, she was triumphant. She looked at the two angels guarding the gate. According to her panel, they were no higher than 6th Order. She could easily force her way through.
“Master… that’s the Gate of Revelation. Once we leave, we’ll be out of the Holy City…”
“Shut up, I can see that! Don’t talk to me, I’m a slave now!”
Luo Yuxi, afraid of being exposed, looked around nervously, but the passing angels didn’t seem to notice anything amiss.
She looked at the glowing barrier and the two tall angels in mithril armor guarding the gate. As they approached, the angels crossed their spears, blocking their path.
“To leave the Holy City, you need the Goddess’s blessing…”
“Hey, are you going to stop me?!”
Sarivee’s black wings unfurled, a stark contrast to her small body, but the oppressive aura made the guards grip their weapons tighter.
“Even you, Lady Sarivee, need proof. And that pink-haired pet, wait, that’s…”
One of the guards recognized Luo Yuxi. Luo Yuxi looked up.
“Sigh, I’ve been found out~”
“Not good! It’s the wanted human pet!”
“But your eyesight is terrible. We’ve been walking all this way, and you’re just noticing now…?”
Luo Yuxi dropped the act and broke the chains on her wrists and ankles. Just as she was about to make a grand entrance, Sarivee stepped in front of her.
“Master, let me handle this!”
[Domain Expansion: Fallen Feathers]
A black domain expanded from Sarivee, the pressure forcing the two angels to their knees.
“So heavy, why…?”
“Lady Sarivee! You’ve betrayed us!”
Sarivee kicked the two angels aside.
“Betrayed? You really think I’m the same as you, you impure, inferior beings~?”
Sarivee smiled at Luo Yuxi, like a puppy seeking praise. Luo Yuxi, seeing her seamless transition between two personalities, thought, I should be nicer to her.
“Master, let’s go, before that angel from the Holy City arrives…”
“That angel?”
A pillar of light shot up from the center of the Holy City. Luo Yuxi saw a figure with six white wings, almost encompassing the entire city.
“Not good, the Guardian of the Holy City, the true angel, Gabriel!”
“Gabriel?”
Before Luo Yuxi could ask, she felt a gaze lock onto her, a feeling of being prey.
[Ding]
[Gabriel]
Occupation: Archangel
Affiliation: Divine Realm
Skills: ???
Title: One of the Four Archangels, Guardian of the Mortal Realm, Angel of Benevolence
Affection: ???
Order Level: First Order (World Suppression)
“A… a being from the divine realm…”
Luo Yuxi was stunned. The space around Gabriel was rejecting her, yet she stood there, her power overwhelming. She was stronger than any First Order being Luo Yuxi had encountered. Before she could think, Sarivee pushed her through a portal.
“Ouch, what was that? What was that angel?!”
Luo Yuxi, on the other side of the portal, leaned against a wall, still shaken. She had only felt such a powerless gaze from the Time Witch.
“First Order… world suppression… is she First Order because of the world’s suppression…?”
Luo Yuxi calmed down and looked around. She was no longer outside the Holy City, but in a luxurious, church-like structure, an endless corridor stretching before her. She opened a door and heard the sound of a violin. Beneath a purple crystal statue, a girl in an evening gown was playing.
“Who are you…?”
Meanwhile, outside the Holy City, Sarivee looked at the empty space behind her. Luo Yuxi was gone. She tried to re-enter the Holy City, but the gate was closed.
“Master…??”
The girl beneath the purple crystal statue, as if sensing a guest, quickened her pace, and as the music ended, she slowly turned around.
“I’ve been waiting for you, First Apostle~”
