The moment she hears her name, Zanir dashes towards Yonuro and slashes with her Demonic Claws. Unable to comprehend what is going on due to her absolute shock, Yonuro doesn't move to the side. She is overwhelmed by her complexity of emotions.
Just as the nails cut off some of Yonuro's hairs on their way to her head, Aniik's right hand is stunlocked. She can't move it any further. Looking down at what's happening, the manipulated Zanir sees what's stopping her.
Ramael- Don't give up, Yonuro! We'll find a way out of this!
While tangling herself around Zanir's attacking hand, Ramael gives Yonuro some hope and the time needed to overcome the shock. After successfully bringing her back from the realm of despair, Ramael jumps from Aniik's hand to Yonuro's and then attaches herself onto her outfit's neatly sewn catchers.
Zanir relieves the nerves of her previously immovable hand and focuses on Yonuro once again.
Yonuro- You're right, Ramael... This is not the time to give up... As long as we can keep going, then we still have a chance to bring Aniik back!
"If you don't try, then how can you call yourself Human?" Geord's words prove invalueable once more.
Once Yonuro utters the last word of that sentence, Zanir jumps in the air and launches herself towards Yonuro. Yonuro sees what she's planning and gets ready. When she gets close enough to her "prey", Zanir readies a deadly slash with her long nails aimed at Yonuro's head.
Yonuro- Now, Ramael!
Ramael quickly crawls to Yonuro's left arm and tightly wraps herself around it. Her light purple color changes into a golden one and empowers her bearer's limb with Holy Energy.
At the moment of impact, the amount of strength and defense of both parties evens itself out. As a result, Zanir cannot push through Yonuro's defenses, but Yonuro can't block the attack entirely and push Zanir back.
Consequently, Yonuro and Zanir are both knocked back by a great margin as particles of Holy Energy and Dark Essence vanish in the air from the impact's intensity.
This created distance now is the best thing Yonuro could wish for, as there's no point in consciously hurting her dear friend.
Yonuro- Aniik! Remember who we are! We are not your enemies!
Zanir tilts her head in confusion but she is not pursuaded at all.
Yonuro- Please try to resist Sachrist's control...
Her request is unfortunately impossible to get through. Zanir has no idea what she is talking about. In her mind all she sees is Yonuro as... an enemy.
And at that moment, Zanir brings both claws close to her chest and closes her hands. A split second after that, she unleashes all 10 of her long demonic nails and aims to kill Yonuro. Seeing her reaction, Yonuro, with a long face, dashes to the right and then ducks in order to avoid all projectiles. And then Zanir decides to follow up her range attack with a unique melee slash.
After licking her demonic ring, she splits herself into 3. Even though only one Aniik is the real one, Yonuro can't tell those 2 clones apart from the original self. Yonuro gets ready to block. Aniik runs towards her with accelerating speed. The moment of impact is finally here.
Ramael- Yonuro!
Unable to see through Zanir's unpredictable behavior, Yonuro is hit by a full swing from the Demonic Claws of the real Zanir. Blood gushes out of her left arm and flank. Ramael tries to desperately reduce the bleeding with her angelic body.
But Zanir strikes again. Yonuro blocks with her free right hand, the forearm of which is now stained by her own blood. The pain she feels engulfs her mind in an unprecedented despair. Seeing her dear friend, Aniik, do this to her on behalf of Sachrist, makes this hurt twice as much.
Yonuro- Aniik... Please... We are your friends...
Ramael creates a rectangle shaped wall to block the next barrage of demonic nails, as Yonuro is clearly in no position to dodge. So powerful are the nails however, that one of them makes it all the way through Ramael.
Ramael- Ahhhh!
And to make matters worse, standing behind Ramael is noone else other than the injured Yonuro. Consequently, the demonic nail finds her upper left leg. The area around her leg starts heavily bleeding and Yonuro slowly kneels on the floor.
Ramael returns back to Yonuro to heal her wounds at the best of her ability.
Ramael- Ra' Men. May these words heal this tortured soul...
Zanir approaches the two of them. She abruptly holds out both hands and 5 demonic nails appear on each one. Yonuro shudders with fear. She knows she can't win Zanir. And even if she were to punch back, she couldn't bring herself to do such a thing. Aniik has a special place in her heart. Harming someone like her doesn't accord with Yonuro's policies. Ramael is also petrified with fear. There's no way for them to undo Sachrist's manipulation and not even the possibility to fight back in order to protect themselves.
If we sum those things up, then Ramael and Yonuro are really doomed. If the next attack is not blocked, Yonuro and Ramael will simply be... killed. By their friend's hand. How cruel...
Zanir approaches and readies her demonic claws. Yonuro looks at her with a pensive expression. Ramael braces herself, slightly giving in to their desperate situation.
Yonuro on the other hand, no matter what the situation at hand is, has been taught otherwise. She will never give up, even in the most dire of them circumstances. Even though is cannot fight, she still has an ace up her sleeve. The most powerful weapon to solve any problem if used correctly. She can still talk.
Yonuro- Aniik! Listen to me!
Zanir momentarily pauses.
Yonuro- You are the first person I've met that has made me feel this way. You are my dearest friend who has a very special place in my heart. A place meant for you and you alone. I'm sure you understand what I mean...
Zanir understands even if those feelings derive not directly from her, but from her human self, Aniik. But Sachrist's mind control can't be swayed by a mere conveyance of feelings. Zanir keeps moving forwards. Knowing that she won't change things by simply circling around the matter, Yonuro speaks up and bluntly says it.
Yonuro- I love you, Aniik! From the bottom of my heart! I don't want to fight you! I couldn't possibly hurt the one person who has touched my heart like this... I'm sorry I couldn't say this earlier... Do you perhaps... feel the same way?
Zanir is still. She is trying her best to resist the urge to kill Yonuro, forced onto her by Sachrist. Yonuro's confession is indeed showing positive results. Zanir's expression has dramatically changed. For a beast like her, she seems to be in absolute sorrow. Touched to a great extent. Mourning on the inside.
But still she cannot disobey her orders. Yonuro's efforts to counter Sachrist's control were not enough. Slowly but surely, Zanir is moving forth again. Her resistance has been brought to an end. Tears form on Yonuro's eyes. Ramael tightly holds her. Their end is nigh. Zanir has closed the gap significantly. She is ready to deliver the final slash.
Ramael- No....
Yonuro (...)
Just as the slash is directed at her head, Yonuro says the name of her dear friend one last time and tries out her final move.
Yonuro- Aniik!
Using her last amount of strength left, Yonuro pushes Zanir's attacking hand slightly to the left. She then gently grabs Aniik's hand and pulls her towards her. Their faces are now closer than ever. Their front hairs are touching. Their eyes have direct contact. And in this position, Yonuro can effectively get her feelings across to Aniik with a soft, tender, lingering kiss.
Zanir's eyes widen and her body reacts to this unique, pleasant sensation. The Dark Essence oozing out of her eyes disappears altogether. After this long-lasting kiss, Yonuro moves her lips back and looks at Aniik.
Her pure grey eyes are glimmering with excitement. Her heart race has significantly increased. Aniik touches her lips with her left hand, which now has no demonic nails. A sense of confusion is still aparent, as she regained her senses just as the kiss was over. But in the end, Zanir is no more and due to Yonuro's gentle kiss, Aniik is freed from Sachrist's mind control...
Aniik- Yonu...
Aniik caresses Yonuro's left cheek. Tears fall from her pure grey eyes.
Yonuro- Aniik...
Ramael- Aw...
Yonuro gently hugs Aniik and Ramael is happy to see them like this.
Aniik- I'm sorry... I wasn't—
Yonuro- Don't talk. It's okay...
Yonuro keeps the embrace going for a bit longer. She doesn't want this moment to end.
When the hug is over, Aniik finds the strength to answer back to Yonuro.
Aniik- I feel the same way, Yonu. You have the most special place in my heart. A place meant for only you.
Yonuro- I'm so glad, Aniik!
Yonuro and Aniik smile while looking at each other's eyes, which convey their feelings of love. This moment lasts for a while. In the meantime, Ramael heals their wounds and feels happy for them.
Yonuro- I really wanted to tell you this a long time now, but I was scared if you didn't feel the same...
Aniik- I also wanted to get this out of my chest, but it is the first time I've ever felt like this, so I didn't know what to do. I was so scared and confused...
They both caress each other's cheeks and convey their feelings one last time.
Yonuro- I love you, Aniik...
Aniik- I—
The moment she tries to say the same, a loud sound is heard, coming from the place Yulim was knocked out earlier. Sachrist has come to after a period of unconsciousness. With a new Angelic Bond at his disposal, he is now holding the Angelic Bow in his hands, ready to fire a devastating arrow.
Sachrist- Farewell, Aniik!
Aniik- Ghk*
Yonuro widens her eyes. A Holy Arrow passes right through Aniik at the speed of light.
Yonuro- ANIIK! NOOOOOOO!
Holding her in her arms, Yonuro shouts the name of her lover, "Aniik", again and again. Sachrist then shoots another arrow. While holding Aniik in her hands, Yonuro moves aside. Ramael immediately detaches from her shoulders and forms a rectangle-shaped wall to block future arrows.
Yonuro lies Aniik gently on the floor and performs a healing incantation. All the while, arrows infused with Godly Essence target Ramael, who gives it her all to buy time.
Yonuro- Ra' Men. May these blessed words heal this totruted soul...
The bleeding doesn't stop. Sachrist aimed for a vital organ (her liver) and a healing incantation does nothing in the critical state that she is.
Aniik- Yonu...
Yonuro- Aniik! Hold in there!
Yonuro removes her top and tightly ties it around Aniik. The top is soon soaked in Aniik's blood and the lethal wound is still bleeding like crazy.
Yonuro- Fuck!!!
Never before has Yonuro sounded more desperate. This is pure agony. I can't bear watching this...
Aniik- I— I don't think I will make it... I'm s-sorry, Yonu...
Yonuro- No no no no no! We'll get this over with! This is just another obstacle! Don't worry!
A Godly Essence infused Holy Arrow passes through Ramael and above Yonuro's head. Ramael can't take more of this.
Yonuro- Ramael! No!
Aniik gets Yonuro's attention by powerlessly grabbing her skirt. As soon as she looks at Aniik again, Yonuro says her name with tears flowing down her cheeks.
Yonuro- Aniik... I— *sob* I— What do I do?!
Aniik- There's only one way, Yonu...
"Land the final blow and absorb my Dark Essence..."
Another arrow passes right through Ramael and knocks her out completely. Yonuro's cryout instensifies as she responds.
Yonuro- What are you saying?! I can't do such a thing... I can't kill the one I love! We will find another way...
A pool of blood has already surrounded Aniik. Although Yonuro doesn't want to admit it, these are Aniik's last moments... There simply is· no time...
Aniik can't let Sachrist get her Dark Essence. Yonuro and Ramael will also be killed in that instance. Therefore, before giving in to Death, Aniik clenches her right hand and makes her final decision.
Aniik- I— I love you, too, Yonu!
Aniik summons five demonic nails in her right hand and finds the strength to jump towards Yonuro. Their lips once again meet and they have a delicate final kiss. From this kiss however, the back of Aniik's hand pushes against Yonuro's chest and the demonic nails penetrate Aniik's fast beating heart.
Aniik's last thoughts are "It is not fair that only you get to experience our first kiss"
While kissing Yonuro, Aniik lets out her final breath and is unable to hear Yonuro screaming her name again and again. Never before in her life has Yonuro cried so much. Rivers of tears. She just... Can't stop crying...
Yonuro- Aniiiiiiiiik!!!!!!!!!
Aniik, Aniik and Aniik... This name... It keeps on resounding in the enitre battleground. Ramael and especially Yonuro shed the saddest tears of their lives. Yonuro's heart is broken. The only person she ever fell in love with, is now dead on her lap.
Yonuro- Why...?! Why d-did it come to t-this.......?
Yonuro shouts her name once more. This one time, there's not only sadness in her voice. Some sort of peculiar anger is starting to also emerge. As the image of Sachrist's Godly Arrow piercing Aniik plays back in her head, Yonuro's fury intensifies. Unconsciously, she is beginning to channel Aniik's Dark Essence particles into herself. And soon enough, conscious and unconscious meet on one focal point. Yonuro slowly raises her head, looks at Sachrist, and ragefully utters.
Yonuro- I'll fucking kill you. YOU'RE GONNA PAY FOR THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yonuro absorbs Aniik's final few particles of her soul, her Dark Essence, and gets up on her feet. She then closes her eyes and holds out her hand.
Yonuro- Come here, Ramael...
As soon as Ramael touches Yonuro's hand, a powerful wave of power shakes the entire building. Even the very roots of Hisami's chamber.
Her hair shines with a glowy white hue and starts waving from the sheer amount of power she has just gained. Ramael, bathed in the colour of the sun, is surrounded with Godly particles everywhere and shines ever brighter. A beautiful, shiny ring appears on Yonuro's right hand. Long nails made out of pure energy come out of both hands after tapping the ring. A beautiful top created at will with Godly Essence also makes its appearance. The most ergonimical godly catchers, that Samei would have envied to create, manifest on the back of her top. Her Godly Veil, Ramael, attaches onto the catchers comfortably. And lastly, Yonuro opens her beautiful indigo colored eyes. No that's not accurate. Those eyes are not indigo anymore. On top of her distinct indigo color, her eyes have now a crystal clear, pure grey outline.
This is... the second God-like being that has ever appeared. With Human origin, her name is... Yonuro Tokiyama.
Sachrist- A God versus another God. I've waited for this moment my entire life... Don't disappoint me, Yo—
Without letting him finish that sentence, Yonuro teleports next to Sachrist and offers him a welcoming slash with her Godly Claws. Sachrist dashes backwards, but blood still spills from his chest. The attack, even barely, connects.
"Shit! Even with omniscience..." Sachrist thinks.
Yonuro- I'll make you regret your entire life, Sachrist.......
Gripped by two powerful emotions, anger and sorrow, Yonuro unleashes a combo attack consisting of 10 slashes in one second. Most of them are dodged or blocked by Sachrist, but a couple still make him bleed even more.
Stolen from its rightful place, this narrative is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.
Sachrist- Don't worry. I'll make it quick, just like with Aniik...
Sachrist uses Yulim's Angelic Veil and snaps his fingers causing a massive godly explosion around him. Yonuro backflips her way out of there and gets ready for a counterattack.
Yonuro- You have no right to even SAY her name!
Yonuro runs at Sachrist, who fires multiple Godly Arrows with his Holy Bow. Using her unparalleled levels of agility and awareness, Yonuro steps aside each one and delivers yet another immaculate slash.
With his Godly staff hidden behind his Veil of Omniscience just for this moment, Sachrist blocks the forward slash. The amount of sheer power released from this counter is unfathomable. The few windows left in the room, even from such a long distance, all break. Nothing stands now, besides a solid marble ground and the clean blue sky. And of course the two god-like beings, giving it their all to settle a score with roots dating back to more than 400 years. The fate of the World will be decided in this fight, right here. In a Battle where Gods bleed...
Shouting battlecries at each other, Yonuro and Sachrist exchange ferocious attacks. A deadly blow with the godly staff barely misses. An even deadlier slash with her long godly nails just cuts some of Sachrist's flying, bottom layered hairs.
After coming around, Sachrist has regained his original strength and can utilize all his abilities to the fullest. That means multiple clones, illusion beams, and omniscience utilized to maximum efficiency for dodging. On the hand, Yonuro has ample, "fresh" Godly Essence to use so she is going all out as well.
A created clone of Sachrist tries to attack Yonuro from behind. By instantly teleporting, she is now the one behind his back. With a downward slash she marks the clone's end. Another one attacks, and many more after it.
Yonuro taps her Godly Ring and becomes invisible. Not only that but she also creates a few invisible illusions of herself, which however have no sentience like Sachrist's clones.
Yonuro's invisibilty though, gives her the clear advantage in the fight. The clones of Sachrist don't share his omniscience, so they don't expect the angle from which Yonuro will strike next. Adding that to the confusing imitations of Yonuro, she has has the upper hand and clears most Sachrists this way.
The rest of them are cleared by Ramael who, after detaching from the unique catchers, forms a powerful pillar of light consisting of Godly Essence. The clones are annihilated completely and the real Sachrist is now exposed.
Sachrist- How about THIS though?!
Sachrist commands his Eternum Pandonomicon to fire a powerful illusion beam at Ramael. Up in the air as she is, Ramael can't dodge the attack in time. But fortunately for her, she has backup. Just before the beam hits her, Yonuro raises her hand and summons Ramael back to her like a Demonic Item. This ability of teleportation prevents an otherwise crutial scenario.
Yonuro- Ramael,
Yonuro slowly approaches Sachrist with killing intent. Sachrist tightly clenches his right hand. His cards are starting to greatly decrease in number. The future for him and Hisami isn't looking all that good.
Sachrist- I'M NOT GONNA LOSE NOW! TAKE THIS, YONURO!
Sachrist snaps his hand and puts flame onto his staff. The burning flames sharpen the edge of the staff making it shaped like a spear. He then prepares to throw this godly spear at Yonuro at the speed of light. Not relying on a bow to do the work for him. He tursts his omniscience and his sheer strength in his hands. This spear throw simply is... impossible to dodge.
Sachrist- HA!
When the staff is thrown, Yonuro responds by uttering the name of her Angelic Veil, "Ramael." After analyzing Sachrist's train of thought, she makes the correect judgement that the attack cannot miss. The new and improved capabilities of Ramael, though, can help her out to block an attack that can't be dodged.
By forming a powerful rectangle shaped wall of sheer energy, Ramael protects Yonuro. Each part of the spear that comes into direct contact with her body is burned into pieces, as though it was passing through a heat source as powerful as the sun.
Ramael gets back to Yonuro and they continue approaching Sachrist while giving him death glares. Sachrist orders his eye of omniscience to fire a couple beams but Yonuro teleports aside each time and easily avoids them. He then draws something quickly, as he has no time, on the Horonomicon and creates a knife out of Godly Essence.
Yonuro- Is that your answer...? Pathetic......
Hearing that from her, Sachrist gets extremely mad, but also extremely stressed out because... she is right. Sachrist has ran out of cards and uses whatever he can think of. Yonuro has learned how to deal with all of his tricks and fueled by her rage and sorrow, she is unstoppable. She is finally able to... defeat Sachrist.
Sachrist- DON'T MESS WITH ME!
Sachrist uses her final amount of essence and goes all out. Summoning the rest of his clones, and copying that same quickly drawn knife to all pages of the Horonomicon, he arms them all with the same weapon. On top of that the Eye of Omniscience fires the once illusion beam after the other.
Yonuro teleports once to avoid a beam and throws her Godly nails in a cone trajectory, in this way killing off many of the armed Sachrists. She then moves her body to the side in order to dodge a hit from a clone behind her back and blocks a knife attack from a clone in front of her.
But then another clone throws the same godly knife at a really fast speed. Yonuro deals with the current enemy by jumping in the air and kicking him in the head. With this high jump, Yonuro achieves something more than that. The thrown knife misses her and unfortunately for Sachrist, it finds a friendly clone.
All the while, the eye of omniscience fires beams, but so precise is Yonuro's movement that all her attacks have an ulterior motive behind them. They are used for both offense and defense, a very clever strategy.
Sachrist just watches in agony as his "troops" get dwindled down and his Eternum Horonomicon loses all its strength and falls down on the floor.
Now that Yonuro has finished with the last clone, Sachrist needs to use Yulim's veil as a last resort, because his own is completely exhausted. Even though he knows, Sachrist proceeds with his final attack. He snaps his fingers and channels a huge forward beam of light.
Yonuro- This is the end.
Sachrist- AHHHHH!
The powerful beam is finally sent, but Yonuro knows well how to deal with it. Just before it makes contact with her body, she teleports herself high up in the air and retaliates by throwing all ten of her Godly Nails at the Accursed Angel.
The trajectory of all the nails is pinpoint this time. Yonuro knows that Sachrist doesn't have much strength left. Factoring this with the unmatched speed of her god-piercing nails, she has checkmated Sachrist.
All ten nails hit Sachrist and make him heavily bleed from 10 different angles, all near his abdomen. Yonuro then returns to the ground and after giving him the true side-eye of the century, she approaches Sachrist to deliver the final blow.
Knelt on the floor, the Omniscient Archangel is waiting for his long awaited death. Yonuro's footsteps get louder and louder as she gets closer and closer to his vulnerable self. Though this is not the only sound that can be heard in the vicinity, it is the only one that Sachrist's ears pick up. Scared for his life, Sachrist tries to keep his head still from all the spinning. He applies pressure to his lethal wound near his stomach but the scorching pain won't disappear. The only thing he does by that is getting his hands dirty with his own blood.
Yonuro has now commited her final step. While looking down on Sachrist, she manifests 5 long godly nails in her right hand and finds the courage to end this, once and for all.
Yonuro- I won't even give you the chance to say your final words. Farewell, Sachrist—
The sound of the elevator being used finally comes to an end, and fast paced footsteps can be heard. Just as Yonuro is about to finish Sachrist off with a final slash of her Godly Claws, a figure appears in front of Sachrist and makes Yonuro momentarily stop the attack.
Hisami- Stop it!
Her long blond hair and light purple eyes shine beautifully in contrast with her brother's bleeding clothes and exhausted facial expression. This fragile, 15-year-old girl wearing nothing else apart from a soft white blanket around her bare body like a kimono, holds out both hands to protect her brother and shouts the following from the bottom of her heart.
Hisami- Please, don't hurt Sachrist any more! I beg of you!
Sachrist- Hisami...
In the middle of a nail swing, Yonuro is flabbergasted by her sudden appearance and stops her attack temporarily.
Yonuro- Hisami... You don't understand. Your brother is not a good person... He has hurt countless people and commited unforgivable sins...
Hisami- But he's my only brother!
Hisami tears up and then cries for as much as her fragile heart can take.
Sachrist- Yonuro... Please... Do it for her.....
Yonuro has to make one final, crutial decision:
Kill Sachrist or Spare Sachrist.
A powerful wind is now present, which makes Yonuro feel all the more uneasy while thinking about her decision. Dead silence is present in the most elevated room of the New World. Yonuro looks at the sky from this high altitude and watches as the clouds begin to get darker and darker, close as it is to nighttime. She then brings her head down again and looks at Ramael.
Agreeing on their decision by simply exchanging looks, Yonuro clenches her hand into a fist and makes her final choice.
Yonuro- I'm sorry, Hisami. The only thing I can do is prevent you from witnessing your brother's death...
Hisami- Sachrist... *sob*
Yonuro- It is better this way. You don't deserve any more pain...
Yonuro holds out her hand in front of Hisami.
Hisami- Nooooooooo!
Yonuro gives Hisami some of her Godly Essence and then takes it back instantly, in this way making her faint from the sudden loss of lifeforce.
Hisami loses her senses and soundly sleeps on the floor not that far away from Sachrist.
Yonuro then takes in a deep breath and proceeds to finish this. Sachrist is already heavily bleeding. He is one slash away from certain death.
And as Yonuro approaches him for one last time, Sachrist says his final words.
Sachrist- I always knew things were gonna go like this... No matter what I tried, the future wouldn't change. It all ends with my death... I was so close, yet so far away from my goal... Why am I crying now...? I've been prepared for this a really long time now...
Yonuro generally ignores whatever Sachrist is saying right now and gets on with the final slash. Only when he speaks directly from the bottom of his heart, does she take a second to listen. Just before his death, Sachrist makes an honest, hearfelt request with tears flowing down his cheeks for the first time in 400 years.
Sachrist- Please....... Yonuro...... I know I don't deserve to live..... It is selfish of me to even ask you this, but please....... I beg of you....... Protect my dear sister......... Spare Hisami!!!
It is the first time even for Ramael to see Sachrist cry like this. Despite all his tricks, lies and manipulations, his final words come from the bottom of his heart. This is the only reason Sachrist has held on to life. For this exact moment. This is... his final bet.
Yonuro lets Sachrist cry his heart out for the first and final time, as a final act of dignity.
When he stops crying, Yonuro senses that the time has come. The end is here and Sachrist is ready to die. After closing her indigo grey eyes, Yonuro readies her Godly Claws and brings an end to Sachrist's suffering.
Yonuro- Farewell, Sachrist.....
A lethal slash with her claws marks Sachrist's end. His dead body drops on the floor where he has spend most of his life on. Close to his dead body is the unconscious Hisami, saved from seeing this tragic scene by Yonuro.
A pool of blood slowly forms around the dead body of Sachrist. The death of a God-like being, by the hand of an original Human soul. What an unthinkable feat... We're all proud of you, Yonuro...
But then... Something definitely unthinkable happens. A sudden shock passes through Yonuro's head and gives her the most painful headache of all time. At the same time, her body is starting to feel extremely weak and while not realising it, Yonuro coughs out some blood.
Yonuro- What is this...?
Her head feels too heavy and Yonuro loses her senses. She slowly falls down, right next to Sachrist's dead body. Ramael widens her eyes and tries to wake her up.
Ten minutes need to pass for Yonuro to come to again. During this time, Ramael almost loses it. But when she manages to wake her up again, she is beyond relieved.
Ramael- Yonuro!
Yonuro- Uh... What happened....
Yonuro slowly opens her eyes and tries to get up. When she stands on her own two feet again, she shakes her head a bit and everything seems normal. Thinking it was a mere dream, Yonuro is not worried that much about it. As she's feeling better, she tries to stay optimistic...
Yonuro- Thank you Ramael, I'm feeling a lot better now—
At that moment, though, Yonuro accidentally uses the power of Omniscience.
Countless images and pieces of information pass through her mind all at once. The World's past, all present mysteries and even the future ahead of her, everything is unveiled.
Yonuro's head almost blows up from this madening amount of information. She is just looking at nothing with an expression as if she had seen a ghost, with both eyes and mouth wide open.
The moment she fell down on the floor, Yonuro's fingertips touched Sachrist's Angelic Veil of Omniscience. Without a bearer at present, the veil interracted with the first being it came in contact with and formed an Angelic Bond. This is the truth that Yonuro needs to accept.
Yonuro- I— I— I— I—
Confused in a very different way, Ramael tries to understand what is going on with Yonuro. After taking look to her right, Ramael sees a different veil occupying the right godly catcher. Ramael widens her eyes.
Ramael- Yonuro, is this...?
Yonuro doesn't need to answer for Ramael to realise that Yonuro used the power of omniscience. Her mindblown reaction hints at that pretty clearly.
Out of all the sickening truths unfolding all at once, one singular event makes her heart all the more shattered than it already is. Standing out among all the others, so painful is this fact she learned that she can't stop her eyes from tearing up. Related to yet another person's tragic end, this event could be nothing else other than Samei's death.
Yonuro- SAMEI!!!!
Yonuro punches the ground from the absolute anguish she's overwhelmed by. Ramael crawls around Yonuro's hair and tries to calm her down.
Yonuro- Samei...
Ramael can't help but cry as well. She doesn't know the exact details like Yonuro, but she is shaken notheless...
Yonuro has never felt so many emotions merged together. All this knowledge bestowed to her at once has had her speechless. Unable to control all these emotions, Yonuro ragefully cries as she proceeds to take off her Veil of Omniscience. She can't see in front of her while running towards the very edge of the room. Her tears get in the way. Now standing before the vast sky ahead, she summons her Godly Claws and takes in a deep breath.
Yonuro- Omniscience... The most frightening power of them all... I— I RENOUNCE IT!
Yonuro cuts the Angelic Veil into pieces. Again and again the slashes transform the once magnificent veil into tiny pieces of angelic cloth. The fragments fly away in the sky and scatter in the wind. Omniscience has finally been... undone.....
Yonuro then turns around and sees the aftermath of the most critical battle of the worlds from the point of view of an outsider.
Three dead bodies and an unconscious teenage girl are all surrounded by ruins, glass shards and faint drops of blood. Among them are Yulim and Kallian who didn't manage to lift Sachrist's curse, Sachrist and Hisami. Aniik's Dark Essence now lives within Yonuro and her body is no more. Even though her lover's body is not in there, the scene is still well and truly horrifying.
What is more horrifying than the present, however, is the future. Now that some time has passed since first activating omniscience, Yonuro can clearly put together and recall all the peculiar events she saw in the future. Although she doesn't want to remember any of it, the images she saw are too horrible to forget. Things that go beyond any reason or common logic. Things that make her shudder with fear.
Ramael- Yonuro...
Ramael caresses Yonuro's left cheek in an attempt to make her feel a bit better, but Yonuro is still absolutely shocked and lost in thought.
And to make matters worse and things all the more complicated, Hisami suddenly wakes up. Seeing the body of her dead dear brother, even with Yulim's Angelic Veil covering most of his blemishes, Hisami cries her heart out. The only person she ever cared for in her life is dead...
Hisami- Sachrist!!!! *sob* Onii-chan.......
Ramael takes a look at Hisami. "The poor girl" she utters. Unable to help her, though, she moves her head back to Yonuro.
Ramael- Tell me Yonuro... What did you see from Sachrist's Angelic Veil...?
Yonuro- (...)
In the background, Hisami is still losing her mind.
Hisami- What am I gonna do now...?
The aftermaths of this battle are way worse than what Yonuro had originally imagined. She, herself, doesn't know what to do. She is completely disconnected from reality, while trying her best to think of what to do next.
At some point in all of her thinking, Yonuro murmurs the following. "We've got no other choice..."
Seeing how confused Ramael is, Yonuro suddenly speaks up and tells her what needs to be done.
Yonuro- We're leaving, Ramael. Follow me.
Ramael- Leaving? Where are we going?!
Yonuro- I'll explain later... Let's just go...
Hisami cries the same sentence again and again: "What am I going to do now...?" and shivers with fear. The only time she says something different is when they are getting ready to leave.
Hisami- Wh-Where are you g-going....? Don't l-leave me a-alone...
"What are we going to do with Hisami?" Ramael asks Yonuro directly through their Angelic Bond.
Sachrist's final words pop up in Yonuro's head again and again. "Please, protect my little sister!" As much as she hates her brother, Yonuro has no hard feelings towards Hisami.
And Yonuro is still human at the end of the day. She can't leave a petite teenage girl behind like that. Besides, Yonuro's righteousness and sense of justice are important parts of her character, after all.
Yonuro- We are going to place far away from here. If you have nowhere else to go, then tag along.
Hisami- Far away...? I— I'm not sure... I'm s-scared... All this... It's all too scary...
Yonuro- Then stay here, for all I care...
Yonuro's cold attitude toward her makes Hisami stutter while trying to answer.
Hisami- N-no, I- I w-will follow you... Without S-Sachrist I am n-nothing... I— I need your h-help...
Hisami approaches Yonuro so slowly that it gets on her nerves.
Yonuro- Com' on, Hisami! Your every move is reluctant... You're gonna slow us down...
Hisami- I—I'm S-sorry.....
Yonuro- Are you really the reason why the World had to come like this...? A shy little girl with no character whatsoever? I can't believe we've all fought over you...
Ramael doesn't agree with the way Yonuro handles the situation, but she can't blame her either. She's been through so much pain, suffering, sorrow and anger. And noone knows what things Yonuro saw in the future. Her attitude is somewhat justified.
Hisami- I—
Hisami tears up from that answer, and Yonuro realises her mistake.
Yonuro- I'm sorry... I didn't mean to sound so harsh...
Yonuro changes mood and taps Hisami's shoulders.
Yonuro- Listen, Hisami. You are a very special person. You've been given a second chance at life, an opportunity that noonee else has had before... So, don't waste it. Live your life to the fullest. Build up your self confidence and keep moving forwards. I believe that's what Sachrist would have said if he were here, too.
Yonuro swipes away Hisami's tears and puts on a faint smile.
Hisami- Alright! I will try my best!
"Dear brother, you've done so much for me that it's only natural I fulfil your one single wish. I will keep on living... I'll keep on living, until death brings us together again..."
Hisami tightly clenches her hands and runs to Yonuro.
Yonuro- Ready?
Hisami- Yeah.
Yonuro, Ramael and Hisami all go down the elevator and get ready to leave Sachrist's Holy Shrine behind forever. Before leaving, Yonuro prepares Hisami for the outside World. By using her abundance of Godly Essence, she first creates a few normal clothes for her to wear. She then tells her a few things to watch out for and what the outside World is like. Like a child listening to her mother, Hisami pays close attention to Yonuro's advice and nods a couple times affirmatively.
And so their final journey begins. After setting foot outside the most magnificent building of the New World, they move forwards without looking back. Leaving their past behind, Yonuro, Ramael and Hisami carve a different path. A whole new life ahead of them. It all begins now...
