Since there's only more than a hundred on the battlefield, everyone pulled back and regrouped to fight together.The once majestic tree in the middle of the battlefield has withered away because of the millions of parasites. The minor injuries they got earlier has healed. However, the major ones are still bleeding and causing unbearable pain the injured has to injure.Azrael has a huge wound from his chest down to his belly. Elijah's right hand is almost numb and had some broken bones. Isaiah's fingers are barely attached to his hand. Thea could barely stand up because of her broken hips she got from falling from the sky and can't fly steadily since she broke her wings. Raphael was mentally stable because of Lust's mental torture. Philip has second degree burns on his left arm. Amira lost one of her legs and was the only one among the seven seraphims who's dying because of Gluttony's parasites.Pride was wincing in pain as he can feel his organs burning since Thea still managed to sta
Shane has been traveling around the lands. He has been to the smallest town and the largest kingdoms he's heard of.He was sitting under an apple tree to take a minute of rest when demon child suddenly appeared before him."You haven't found her yet?" The young Wrath asked. He clicked his tongue when Shane shook his head. "Too slow.""Why don't you just help me locate her? Don't you have that kind of power or something?"Wrath mimicked the way Shane spoke and made some exaggerated faces before crossing his arms under his chest."I have a duty with my siblings. I just sneaked out to ask you about her," Wrath was about to teleport back to the palace when he remembered what he heard yesterday. "The prince of the neighboring kingdom was planning to ask for the hand of the said most beautiful girl in his kingdom."Shane raised his eyebrow. He doesn't care how many beautiful girls are living in this world. They're none of his business and whoever prince Wrath was talking about was definitel
"BABY, you love mommy, right?" A lady in her mid-twenties asked her daughter as she holds her hand.The little girl looked up with a smile on her face and nooded. Despite having dirt on her face, we can't deny the child's beauty."Mama, where are we going?" She asked.Her mom smiled as her face starts to get tainted by bitter tears."We're going to fly, baby," The lady replied. "Do you want to come with mommy?"The little girl nodded in excitement. "Of course, mama. I'll come with you wherever you go!"The vast sky started pouring heavy droplets of rain and the wind blows as if it's whispering something must not last yet.The lady and her child stood at the edge of the rooftop. She tightened her grip on her daughter's hand as she cries with the sky. She feels so selfish. How could she include her daughter in this plan?She closed her eyes and let her body fall from the 45th floor of the building......with her daughter in her arms of course.The little girl's scream echoed in the air
THERE was a long pause Shane said that.What can he do, though? It's the truth. He's been waiting for a grim reaper to bring his soul in peace.The woman just stared at him as if he just said the most ridiculous thing ever.Who in their right mind waits for the end of their time in the land of living as they're just waiting for their order to be served? Shane stood up. "Miss grim reaper, can you slit my throat now?" He asked.Mara immediately wields her scythe and thrusts it at Shane. However, the same thing happened. The scythe wasn't able to harm Shane."What do you mean you've been waiting for me?" Mara asked."It's nothing. Never mind," He replied.Mara did not say anything. She closed her eyes, trying to contact a Senior Grim Reaper or Azrael but it did not work. It's as if her connection with the Eternal has been cut off. It's as if she's exiled without a proper judgment.Her eyes lingered on Shane's place when she felt something that doesn't belong in this world anymore.She
SHANE CAN'T understand how Mara can stay calm despite knowing the situation. If they were to visit the lost tribe in his province, he might not be able to go back in this place and continue his studies. Mara's title may be stripped of her or worse, she might die.Shane kept on stealibg glances at Mara while the latter is helping Shane pack his things.He wondered why Mara wasn't packing her things until Shane realized that Mara doesn't own anything in this world."We're leaving tomorrow, after my mom's burial," He said and then glanced at his mom's coffin in the living room. "We're going to stay there for three days and we must make it possible."Mara knew that Shane never wanted to go back to that place. After all, the demon who made a contract with Shane's ancestor can successfully devour his soul if he ever make a one small mistake."Do you know how you can cut your ties with them?" Mara asked.She doesn't know what to do. In fact, she doesn't have any idea about their contract wit
They just crossed the intersection. Damien kept on stealing glances at Shane as he's still suspicious of the man.In his thought, Shane killed his fellow grim reapers. And what would have happened to Mara if he did not arrive there as early as he can?On the other hand, Shane kept on stealing glances at Mara's sleeping face.Her dark eye shadows and eyeliners are now gone and her once dark lips turned into a color of cherries. She used the lipstick he bought for her.Cute.If he had only known less, he would have thought that Mara is an angel."You saw the previous grim reapers who came for you, right?" Damien asked as he sigh. He averted his gaze while waiting for Shane's answer."I did.""What happened to them?""Mom was able to keep them all away. A meter away from the demons who depends on my body. But when she fell ill, the demon who Mara fought brought them to their demise," Shane replied.He may have hid the feeling of regret at his best but being a superior being, Damien was a
Everyone in town kept on watching over the visitors they've been waiting since the lost soul of an elder gave them the news that the heir of the hell traveler is arriving.Their eyes were glued on Shane but for some reason, the lady's scent seems to attract their attention.As the group entered the building, their presence seemed to vanish into the thin air. It's as if they passed through a portal to a different dimension when in fact nothing is suspicious and supernatural happening at the moment.SHANE'S HEAD throbbed as soon as he step a foot inside."Are you okay?" Mara asked when Shane placed his palm against his temple.Damien supported Shane's weight when he started losing his balance.The searing pain in his head is unbearably bearable... if it ever make sense.His connection with the place is unbelievable strong that he can almost hear it calling his name in a melancholic tone. He can feel his blood rushing through his veins as if they were screaming that this is supposed to b
The stones are hovering over a small rounded table.Shane touched the pattern engraved on the rounded table while the other two read each word on the stones."Take Thy Offerings, Fulfill The End Of The Bargain, Goal Shall Be Attained."At that exact moment, the wind blew hard, grazing Shane's cheeks by sharp leaves."Shane, stay away from the table!" Damien yelled, however it was already too late.A drop of blood fell into the pattern engraved on the table. The table lit up and repelled the three.A cloud like smoke appeared. "What do you offer?" It asked.Mara's eyes glow as she summons her scythe."Damien, take Shane away from here. I'll take care of this mess," The lady said."Mara, we can't do that," Shane said and then charged towards the smoke with a dagger on his hand."No one's here for a sacrifice, demon," He said and then threw the dagger towards it."Shane, you dumbass!" Mara said and then pulled back the lad.The demon pointed at Shane. "To wish for death is to dance with
