I returned to the roof of the warehouse with Gabriel, feeling the ground vibrate beneath our feet. The sounds of battle grew louder, and Gabriel's eyes narrowed, his senses on high alert. "Belzebub is here," he said, his voice low and urgent. My determination surged, and I demanded, "Put me back in my body, Gabriel. I need to take down Samson." But Gabriel hesitated, his eyes locked on mine. "You're not strong enough to defeat Belzebub alone, Daniel. We need to capture him unharmed." Before I could ask, Gabriel tapped my spirit's forehead, and we merged into my body. I felt a surge of power course through my veins, and Gabriel's voice echoed in my head. "You are now an Arch soldier, Daniel. Together, we will take down Belzebub and restore balance to this world." With our fusion, I stood tall, my body glowing with an otherworldly light. We gazed down at the battle below and spotted Belzebub poised to strike Uriel. Without hesitation, we tapped the glass roof, unleashing a powerful
Uriel's face remained expressionless, but his eyes blazed with a fierce light. He raised his hand, and I felt a surge of energy lift me off the ground. "You dare to strike an Archangel?" Uriel's voice was low and menacing. "You will pay for your insolence."I struggled, but Uriel's grip was unyielding. I felt my very essence being pulled apart, my scream drowned out by the sound of my own soul tearing apart. Just as fast as it began, he suddenly stopped everything . Uriel's expression remained unchanged as he didn't look angry but he then showed a hint of disappointment before letting out a sigh. "Hmmm..."With a flick of his wrist, Uriel released me, and I collapsed to the ground, gasping for air. Uriel turned and walked away, leaving me to wonder if I had imagined the whole encounter. Gabriel approached me, a concerned look on his face. "Daniel, are you okay?"I nodded, still trying to process what had just happened. "Yeah, I'm fine. Just a little shaken." Gabriel placed a hand on
As we materialized in the abandoned storehouse, the dim lighting and musty air enveloped us like a shroud. The scent of decay and neglect hung heavy, a potent reminder of the space's long abandonment. Uriel, Gabriel, and I fanned out, our eyes scouring the shadows for any sign of Belzebub or his minions. But the silence was oppressive, and the only sound was the soft creaking of old wooden beams.My wounded pride and bruised body still lingered from my defeat at Uriel's hands. The memory of our duel still burned in my mind, a bitter taste that refused to fade. As we searched the storehouse, I couldn't help but feel a twinge of resentment towards Uriel, who had so effortlessly bested me.Gabriel's voice broke the silence, his eyes scanning the shadows. "Stay sharp, Daniel. We don't know what we're up against." I nodded curtly, my hand instinctively reaching for the dagger at my belt. I had no intention of being caught off guard again.As we moved deeper into the storehouse, the silenc
As we searched through the dusty environs, Belzebub's voice echoed through the air, taunting Uriel."Uriel, Uriel, how the mighty have fallen. You and Gabriel thought you could take me down, but you underestimated me. You forgot that I was once a Glorious Archangel, and I taught you everything you know."Uriel's eyes narrowed, his form tensing with anger. "You may have taught me, Belzebub, but I have surpassed you. And with Gabriel's help, we will take you down."Belzebub's laughter echoed through the dust. "We'll see about that. I still remember some of my old tricks. And with this spell, I'll show you my true power."He began to chant in a language that sounded ancient and forbidden. The air around us seemed to charged with energy, and I felt a strange sensation wash over me. Suddenly, Uriel's form began to glow with a faint light, and he teleported us all onto a desolate bridge.As we materialized, Uriel fell to the ground, clearly drained of his power. Belzebub stood over him, his
As we stood on the bridge, the aftermath of the intense battle began to sink in. Gabriel separated from me, becoming a distinct entity once more. We exchanged a glance, and without a word, we knew it was time to leave the bridge behind.But our departure was halted when Uriel suddenly faltered, his knees buckling as he struggled to remain upright. Gabriel rushed to his side, concern etched on his face."Uriel, are you okay? You look like you're about to collapse," Gabriel said, his voice laced with worry.Uriel attempted to brush off his exhaustion, his pride evident in his response. "I'm fine, Gabriel. Just a bit...winded."Gabriel's expression turned skeptical. "Uriel, don't be ridiculous. You need help."But Uriel refused Gabriel's offer, insisting on standing alone. His determination was admirable, but his drained state was evident. I intervened, my voice firm but gentle."Uriel, you're not fine. You're drained. You need to rest and not use your powers for a while."Uriel's resist
I struggled to regain control of my body, my eyes closed tight as I called out for Uriel in desperation. Just as all hope seemed lost, a firm hand grasped my shirt, yanking me off Chris and giving him a chance to gasp for air. I opened my eyes to see Uriel standing over me, his expression a mix of concern and determination. "Uriel!" I exclaimed, relief washing over me. "I'm here, Daniel," Uriel replied, his voice calm and reassuring. "I've got you." It seemed for a moment that the near-death experience had brought Chris back, but then his eyes clouded over, and he whispered, "Please, save me," in a chilling tone. He snapped back into Belzebub's sinister control, his body rising from the ground. Belzebub sneered at Uriel, "It looks like you got a guardian angel. Hey, Uriel, tell me if you feel okay now. I drained you off your power as a last resort, but now I think you're ready to be drained again." Uriel's eyes narrowed, stretched his hands ,clenched his fist,telepathically lifted
As Uriel reached out to extract Belzebub's spirit from Chris, a van suddenly appeared out of nowhere and slammed into the Archangel, sending him crashing to the ground. The van screeched to a halt, and Belzebub's eyes widened in shock as Asmodeus, his estranged brother, emerged from the vehicle. "Asmo, what the hell are you doing here?" Belzebub demanded, his voice laced with disbelief. Before Asmo could respond, Uriel sprang to his feet and charged towards Belzebub, only to be frozen in place by Asmo's commanding voice. "Uriel, freeze!" Asmo let out a sigh as he said,"Wow, I can't believe that really worked." Belzebub's eyes darted between his brother and the immobilized Archangel, confusion and suspicion etched on his face. "How did you...? You can't possibly...!" Asmo's expression turned serious. "Look, I know you're confused, but we need to leave right this instance.We need to get out of here asap." Belzebub took a step back, his eyes narrowing. "What kind of deal did you mak
I stood alone in the desolate night, my senses on high alert as I felt the presence of multiple people surrounding me. My anxiety still lingered from the previous encounters, and I clenched my fists, ready to fight again if necessary."Who the hell is out there?" I screamed, my voice echoing through the darkness.Gabriel emerged first, his figure illuminated by the faint moonlight. I felt a mix of emotions - relief, anger, and confusion. I didn't know whether to punch him or hug him, so I yelled instead."Gabriel, where were you?! You said we would face Belzebub together. But you weren't there when he struck. You weren't there when he almost made me kill my best friend. You weren't there when I...I..." I broke down, falling to my knees as tears streamed down my face. I forced myself to continue, "You weren't there when I lost Chris."Uriel appeared from the shadows, his voice harsh as he cut in, "Don't you dare blame Gabriel for this. You chose to make a deal with that Devil and thoug
