“Dante? Hmmm,” Ciel frowned, seemingly thinking.

After a while, she shook her head with an innocent and lovable smile, “I don’t know.”

“Is that so?” The woman frowned hearing Ciel’s words.

“But why do you possess my master’s aura…?” Although quite weak, but the woman was certain that this is her master's aura - or probably some kind of presence...

?? Ciel frowned and tilted her head. She didn’t understand what the golden-haired woman was talking about.

At this moment,

“Get away from Ciel!!” Garth suddenly appeared behind the woman, his palms aimed directly at her head.

But before Garth could fire his missiles and pulse beams, the woman’s figure suddenly blurred and in an instant, Garth's vision was replaced with a slender leg, Boom!

And he was sent crashing into the wall.

“You Bastard!!!” Following, a Lion with a tail of a snake and wings of a bat and its body filled with black shiny scales leaped into the air, pouncing with its claws raise at the woman.

This was Stella’s hidden trump card, [ Chimera ]

But just like before, the woman turned and her hand hit Stella’s abdomen as if she had just appeared in front of Stella.

Boom!! She blasted her away.

However, it seems like none of her attacks were fatal enough to kill because Garth and Stella were still alive. She indifferently turned around and returned towards where Ciel was.

“Bad lady,” Ciel pouted in displeasure seeing her uncle and aunty being beaten up.

“Don’t hurt my uncle and aunty or else I’ll tell father about it!” She cried out. Unbeknownst to her, her eyes sparkled at this very moment and something appeared behind her - black, hazy mist that seems to be congealing into a form.

However, before it could fully materialize, the woman swings her hand the black haze disappeared.

This little girl is not simple at all...

Although she was still indifferent and calm, she was actually shocked inwardly.

She actually felt danger from that!?

Fortunately, she was the embodiment of sealing technique. Sealing something like that in its newborn state was nothing to her.

... ...

... ...

“Father?” The woman suppressed her shock, grabbing Ciel’s waist and carried her.

“Why don’t you introduce your father to this big sis?” She smiled amiably.

"Hm?"

Suddenly, at this moment, the woman realized the whole world seemed unnaturally dark as if it had been drained of all light before a terrible storm broke out.

She looked up to see a dark cloud that wasn’t clearly there moments before.

Crackle! Crackle!

Sounds like walnuts being crushed suddenly resounded in the entire area as the woman saw that above them, dark clouds were gathering at a very fast speed, casting long shadows down the entire city.

Layers of heavy black clouds clung to the sky and blanketed the entirety city.

“What do you need from my daughter?” A thunderous voice rang out and above them; three silhouettes were slowly descending from the sky.

Overhead, lightning ripped through one of the dark clouds, and the thunder crashed around like a huge fist pounding the sky.

“Father!!!” Looking at them, Ciel immediately cried out as she struggled from the woman’s arms and jumped to the ground.

“Father!” Ciel’s happy voice sounded as she jogged over.

When Allen, Mia, and Celty landed - Ciel, with her arms already opened to him, immediately rushed towards them. Her cute and adorable face filled with expectation as her eyes sparkled in an innocent and cute manner while staring at Allen.

Because Allen looked like a small child himself, it was quite strange but Allen still receives her. They looked like two children, extremely intimate with each other.

“Big brother!” Garth and Stella dragged their injured bodies and walked towards Allen and the others.

Garth’s iron man suit on the part of his waist was already bent and caved in due to the woman’s gorilla-like strength while Stella’s forehead was already oozing with blood.

“Are you okay?” Allen asked while checking the two. He felt relieved that they seem to have not received any fatal injuries that might threaten their lives.

“I am, though I think several of my bones are broken,” Garth smiled wryly as his helmet slowly retroceded, revealing his face.

“Me too, I thought my ribs would broke into pieces~” Stella added, still in her Chimera form.

Allen smiled faintly and started petting Stella’s lion head. Although due to the difference in height, Allen’s clone body tiptoed to reach Stella’s head due to her huge size.

The lion’s eyes turned into a crescent as Stella enjoyed Allen’s petting like a little kid.

!!? Suddenly, Allen felt a chill down his body and saw the woman’s burning gaze. He felt like she was going to flay him alive.

What’s wrong with this girl?

“Hey,” Allen called out. He then spoke hesitatingly, “Did we have a history before? You look so familiar,”

Allen’s words made Celty and Mia frowned as their heads whipped towards the woman.

However, instead of answering his question, “As I thought,” the woman spoke as if muttering.

“It’s a bit weak but… you’re Lord Dante, aren’t you?” Her expression softened and her expression showed extreme happiness.

Dante? “Me?” Allen pointed at himself. “I think I haven’t used that kind of alias before~”

Hearing the name Dante, Mia, Celty, and Allen was more certain that this woman was the killer they have been looking all this time!

“No, I can’t be wrong…” The woman’s voice was definite as she started walking towards him.

Mia and Celty immediately turned vigilant as they each raised their power in preparation for a sudden fight.

But, the woman completely ignored them as if they didn’t exist. “Dante, my very own lord… Countless worlds I had sought for you but each time I always failed. I was always late in protecting you… but now, I finally found you!”

The woman suddenly kneeled on one knee in front of Allen. “Milord, please return to Paradiso in Godland with me, there, you will be safe from Virgil’s hands. There, he would never be able to find you as her majesty dictates…”

Allen looked at the woman while frowning. What is she saying? Dante? Virgil? You mean… the poet?

“I don’t know what you’re talking about. My name isn’t Dante,” Allen replied, puzzled. What does she mean?

“No,” The woman shook her head. Her voice firm as if she was certain of her claim. She then took out a small orb dyed in purple and saw it shining, albeit dim.

“I don’t know why master’s aura is dim. It’s as if you aren’t here but, I’m certain that you are my lord… Dante!”

Allen frowned. I’m not here? Of course, I’m not here!

This is a clone!

The woman then held out the small orb towards Allen, “My lord, if you don’t believe me then please take this, it will help you regain your memories!”

“Allen!” Mia and Celty frowned as they stand in defensive form, putting Allen behind the two women. They didn’t understand what the woman was saying however, they are not idiots to let Allen take that whatever orb it was!!

This must be a trap!

“You can kill people so easily, as if we will believe whatever you said,” Mia glared at her and said indifferently.

“I also don’t trust this woman, Allen,” Celty frowned and said in a heavy voice.

The woman glared at the two women standing between her and Allen. Her two fists clenched tightly in intense anger.

Just how ignorant are these mortals!!? If not for fearing of her master’s wrath she would have beheaded these two mortal women at this instant!

“My lord, please believe me… My name is Rebellion, your sword, and your shield… my master, please believe me and try to remember, who you really are!” The woman who claimed her name to be Rebellion pleaded.

Allen frowned the moment he heard the name Rebellion. Something seems to be squirming inside of him, excited, nostalgic… just what is happening?

Is what this girl said, real?

Allen grabbed Celty and Mia’s waist. He smiled at them and stepped forward, “You said your name is… Rebellion?”

Allen asked, doubtful.

Although it was kinda hard to believe, something inside of him reacted the moment he heard her name.

Nostalgia, Affection, and many odd feelings surge through him.

“Yes, my lord!” When Rebellion heard that, her eyes shone brighter. She immediately started to get excited. “My lord, my name is Rebellion! My Lord’s loyal servant!”

Allen frowned. However he started to reach out towards the small orb in Rebellion’s hand but before he could take it, his hand was suddenly grabbed by Mia.

“Allen, are you sure?” Mia asked worriedly.

Allen knows that she was worried about him and so he responded with a faint smile, “I’ve overcome the Curse of the Fallen, right? I can do it again,” Besides, this was just a clone…
